Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Chapter 19: Chapter 17: Brass Mechanism Guardian Crystal

Earthling Jin Youxian: ”Sam is right, Huaxia people just love to brag, they’re always shameless.”

Earthling Neil Underweir: ”Huaxia people are always shameless. We, the Yamato Race, love peace and pursue civilization.”

Yi Tian thought it was just these two, but who knew more ridicule from Earthlings would come.

Earthling David Brian: ”In Earth, we suppressed Huaxia so much they couldn’t lift their heads. Once they leave the horizon, they swell up again.”

”You are... shameless.” Earthling Qin Fanshuang seemed to be supporting Yi Tian, but she wasn’t good at cursing. Took half a day to squeeze out two words.

”Hehe, Brian, keep your two dogs on a leash, don’t let them bite people randomly. And that blue-skinned one, a pauper, can’t even earn a single Celestial Dao Coin yet has the nerve to talk big about villas? [Large Luxury Villa].”

After Yi Tian spoke, he initiated a scan of the villa. The villa’s information immediately appeared on the region channel.

Yi Tian had always been low-key, not competing for bread but for breath.

Although the villa was just a part of Yi Tian’s wealth, it was the five million he spent on city walls that were the truly shocking architecture.

At this moment, the various bullet comments in the region chat channel abruptly stopped.

Large Luxury Villa!

Astonishing!

Four floors, twenty-four different rooms.

”Luxury genuine leather sofa set, luxury double bed, premium Yellow Flower Rattan Wood tables and chairs, flush toilet, shower facilities, large water purifier, high-grade circulating water system, rooftop luxury swimming pool, exquisitely decorated kitchen.”

Yi Tian continued to send bullet comments. Anyway, the large villa had been exposed.

For a good while, still no one spoke. They were so shocked by Yi Tian’s series of actions that they couldn’t speak.

Why is there such a big difference in living quality among the Trial Takers?

Why is it that in just half a month, Yi Tian is so impressive?

Sam, lying on a wooden plank bed, was deeply ashamed, wanting to find a hole to crawl into. At the same time, he felt more resentment towards Yi Tian. He couldn’t accept that such a weak Human Race, whom he could crush at any moment with his average sixty-point attributes, could live so well.

”Celestial Dao is not fair!” Wing Race’s Kong Ming.

”Why is this happening, is this Human Race on vacation?” Light Elf Elsa.

”Human, how did you achieve this?” Dark Elf Shadow Qianqian.

”Ah! Even with four hands, I’m not as fast as you.” Four-armed Race’s Tianjin Mi.

”A strong one!” Centaur Race’s War Shadow.

”Are you the first in this region to kill the Three Evils?” Star Race’s Dashao.

Some high-level races started to speak. These people usually almost never speak, as if they are superior everywhere. When they look at the region group chat, it’s like watching ants fight. At this moment, they are completely startled.

Including the Forest Elf, these races’ three dimensions are terrifying once they reach adulthood.

Currently, the Elves and similar races in region 66 are all in the Growth Stage. Equivalent to a human at 15 years of age, still far from their peak.

Even the Blue Skin Race’s Sam is looked down upon by these races. If they hadn’t entered the Celestial Dao World, Sam’s fifty points in three dimensions would be his limit; they have just begun.

”Fake! It’s all fake...” Jin Youxian couldn’t believe it and sent three bullet comments in a row.

”A showy, impractical structure. The higher the Territory Level, the more fierce the attacks. Let’s see how you handle it at the end of the month!” Neil Underweir sneered.

”Hehe! In a strong person’s game, the weak should stay silent! You only know that I will face strong attacks. But you don’t know about my grand gains. Every time my territory upgrades by a level, the Celestial Dao sends hundreds of thousands of Celestial Dao Coins as gifts. It offers various Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to enhance the three dimensions. The gap between the strong and the weak won’t slowly close, it will only widen. By then, instead of highlighting your own weakness, you’ll only think of how strong I am. Because the gap between us is too large.” Yi Tian spoke mercilessly.

Yi Tian’s words left many of those who had cursed him speechless. Sam banded together with others to form some organization called the Blue Gang. To Yi Tian, it was just child’s play.

This time, no one refuted Yi Tian’s words. Yi Tian taught the people of region 66 a lesson.

Nearly everyone believed that Yi Tian’s three dimensions had already surpassed 100 points. Yet most people needed at least 1.5 million Celestial Dao Coins to upgrade their three dimensions.

The large villa incident quickly spread from region 66 to zone 10086. The entire zone knew someone remarkable had emerged in region 66, and they were Human Race.

Many people wanted to add Yi Tian as a friend, the private chat channel was bustling, and Yi Tian was so annoyed he eventually directly turned off the private chat channel. He didn’t care about anyone’s face.

When the chat channel was buzzing about him, Yi Tian didn’t want to look at it.

He opened the auction house to check the price trends.

Yi Tian suddenly thought of something: Is it possible that this heavy rain could last for three days, or even longer?

By then, will there be a food shortage? Will meat prices soar?

Yi Tian carefully analyzed, if the heavy rain lasts for more than three days, there would be a rise in meat prices, but not too much. With the Three Evils just dealt with, meat prices were still super low. Many Trial Takers knew that the meat couldn’t sell and they couldn’t finish it, so they smoked it to try to store it longer.

Moreover, in the next couple of days, everyone’s first batch of planted vegetables was about to mature gradually.

Therefore, hoarding speculation is unwise!

As for iron, gold, wood, and the like, there hasn’t been any change over these days; prices seem permanently fixed at this stage. Yi Tian has quite a bit of stock in his large warehouse; he neither sold nor sought more.

There’s no significant immediate gain to be had in this area.

Yi Tian has two major profitable projects in hand, one is clothing and the other is a large-scale water purifier. Next, Yi Tian will focus on these two aspects to extract profit. Yi Tian had long been prepared and purchased a stock of raw materials.

As for other ceramics and solar energy, they aren’t suitable for this stage.

”Hey! Purple Phoenix Moon Dance is requesting a chat, could it be there’s good stuff again?” Yi Tian had chatted with Purple Phoenix Moon Dance twice. The first time, he acquired two pieces of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and a blueprint for a large alloy warehouse. The second time, he obtained a thousand top-grade bamboo materials, High Mountain Purple Bamboo.

”Do you know where to find a cultivation technique to drive spiritual power?”

As soon as the chat connected, Yi Tian preemptively asked.

”Humans shouldn’t indulge in wishful thinking! Cultivation techniques are not for pen and paper. They can only be comprehended through personal enlightenment; they cannot be transmitted to others. This is the rule of the Celestial Dao World. Otherwise, would we freely provide a cultivation technique at a special auction house and still trade with worms like you?” Purple Phoenix Moon Dance replied.

The lofty tone made Yi Tian uncomfortable. If Purple Phoenix Moon Dance was as poor as Sam, Yi Tian would have already cut off the conversation.

He thought if one day they met, he would show her his prowess. Is the Phoenix Race so remarkable?

”What do you want, speak up quickly. I can earn hundreds of thousands in minutes, can you afford to waste my time?”

Yi Tian continued chatting, though he changed his tone.

”[Brass Mechanism Guardian Technology Crystal]*1. My friend asked me to sell it on their behalf. I can’t make decisions on low prices. If you don’t want it, just leave.” Purple Phoenix Moon Dance gritted her teeth and sent out a piece of equipment.

Brass Mechanized Guard:

Strength: 180.

Stamina: 150.

Speed: 120.

Skills: Short Spear Throwing (can throw a short spear 500 meters, capable of harming living creatures with stamina below 200), Long Spear Mastery.

Note: The Brass Mechanized Guard is powered by one D-level Beast Core, can patrol for 24 hours. If in combat mode, it can last for 12 hours.

”Are you the fool, or am I the fool? This thing is a bottomless pit for spending. Creating one Brass Mechanized Guard is not as good as buying a slave from the Slave Market. Indigenous slaves can do much more; this Brass Mechanized Guard only stands there and constantly consumes Celestial Dao Coins.”

Yi Tian’s eyes shone, but he knew, to buy something, it’s best to belittle it as worthless.

Purple Phoenix Moon Dance claims this crystal is not hers, but Yi Tian could see through such a small trick.

Yi Tian knew that Purple Phoenix Moon Dance had high three-dimensional attributes, high enough that compared to her, the Brass Mechanized Guard was almost like an ant.

For someone like Purple Phoenix Moon Dance, she’d need slaves who can work, not such a Brass Mechanized Guard with mediocre combat power.

At this moment, Yi Tian’s city’s defenses were weak, and he desperately needed such guards to protect the city walls. Surely, he couldn’t charge into a crowd alone every time. Yi Tian might be able to fight ten with one, a hundred with one, but can he fight a thousand with one?

The purpose of building War Manor was to rely on the tall walls to kill the enemy’s living forces and then strike as the situation required.

”This Brass Mechanized Guard is powerful. It comes from a Golden Treasure Chest,” Purple Phoenix Moon Dance stated its origin.

”Are you kidding? I think even a Bronze Treasure Chest can produce this. If you draw this from a Golden Treasure Chest, it only means you’re extraordinarily unlucky. I suggest you manufacture Brass Mechanized Guards yourself and sell them at auctions; don’t worry, I’ll buy one to guard my gate.”

Yi Tian chuckled softly. He silently calculated that one Brass Mechanized Guard, based on the current prices, would cost 50,000 Celestial Dao Coins from materials to production, and each activation requires a D-level Beast Core.

Slaves of the same level in the auction are only half the price, and slaves can do any work. The Brass Mechanized Guard, aside from defense, only consumes Beast Cores.

Yi Tian was naturally cautious; he wasn’t short of money. In his view, slaves could betray, might fear. Just take the Three-Eyed One-Horned Tribe, looking fierce as if each were a War God, but a little intimidation and they would cower like grandsons.

From prince to soldier, you could count on these people to win with the wind at their backs, but in adversity, it’s just a race to see who runs faster.

”How about this! My friend urgently needs Celestial Dao Coins, 2 million Celestial Dao Coins for you.” Purple Phoenix Moon Dance softened her tone.

Yi Tian’s words hit the nail on the head for her. She dared not integrate it into her Technology Platform. The Brass Mechanized Guard was of no use to her. She feared it wouldn’t sell, costing 50,000 Celestial Dao Coins to make, how much could she sell it for?

She felt this Brass Mechanized Guard had something exceptional about it, as it was the most precious thing from a Golden Treasure Chest.

”Considering we’ve worked together happily, I’ll buy it for 100,000 to study it.” Yi Tian ”finally” relented a bit.

”This is... the crystal, not... the blueprint.” From the text, you could hear Purple Phoenix Moon Dance gritting her teeth.

”So what? As time passes, D-level power isn’t enough anymore. Two weeks ago, the average three-dimensional stats in our zone were only 15. Now they’re over 100. It won’t be long before brass becomes obsolete, and then it’ll be Silver’s stage.” Of course, Yi Tian made this up, it was impossible for the Monster Region to know the situation in their zone.

”1 million. My friend’s final bottom line!” Purple Phoenix Moon Dance said angrily. Getting a million from a Golden Treasure Chest is quite a boon.

Still, how could Yi Tian let her have her way: ”500,000. If you disagree, we’ll part ways. Honestly, a Golden Treasure Chest is worth at most this price.”

Yi Tian didn’t push too hard. This kind of Brass Mechanized Guard is quite peculiar. No one thinks it can sell big; the production cost is right there. Perhaps if metal prices rise later, even fewer people would care.

Yi Tian didn’t care; he felt this kind of thing was tailor-made for people like him.

Brass Mechanized Guard. Will there be Silver Mechanized Guards and Golden Mechanized Guards in the future?

”[Brass Mechanized Guard Technology Crystal*1] trades for [Celestial Dao Coin*500,000].”

Purple Phoenix Moon Dance was unwilling, but she still made the trade. She needed money and a lot of Celestial Dao Coins to maintain her lead in the district.

”By the way, has it rained over there?”

After completing the trade, Yi Tian asked casually. Not receiving a response, Yi Tian didn’t bother to push further.
