Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

The Phoenix Race is so famous, other races are happy to show them respect.

If a Human Race member shows up in Zone 18883333, the Lords there wouldn’t even bother selling Black Cloud Iron or Black Flame Stone.

It’s like collecting Element Cores. The Great Emperor really knows how to do business, spanning over ten-plus High-Level Regions.

Still, collecting Element Cores can’t compare to Purple Phoenix Moon Dance harvesting within one region.

”So fast? Did you kill it? Give me some tips!” Yi Tian was surprised.

”If Flame Beast comes to my region, I’ll definitely slay it. Flame Beast and Summer Beast are our opportunities, they can’t compete with the weirdness of Rain Beast or the sheer power of Spring Beast.” Purple Phoenix Moon Dance assured Yi Tian, super confident about slaying Flame Beast.

Rain Beast is freaky!

Whoever kills it isn’t necessarily super strong. It’s all about insane luck.

No matter how strong you are, Rain Beast is just unsolvable.

But Spring Beast, total powerhouse. Two Special Talents, broken as hell, plus super smart.

Summer Beast and Flame Beast’s Special Talents are just there to make life harder for the Lords.

That makes them a bit lacking in combat, especially defense.

Bottom line: To kill Celestial Beast, you need timing, location, and people — leave out any one and you’re doomed.

Sometimes you’re all pumped up and the Celestial Beast doesn’t even show, whatcha gonna do?

”Purple Phoenix Moon Dance, do you know what reward the Lord got for slaying Flame Beast? Not like anyone’s gonna share their haul after killing a Celestial Beast, right?” Yi Tian asked, sensing Purple Phoenix Moon Dance might know what drops after Flame Beast dies.

”That Lord’s just a cocky maniac. Used to be from my continent. Slaying Flame Beast drops a Treasure Chest, a Flame Beast Celestial Bead, a Flame Bead, and every member in the territory gets a cultivation boost. But he didn’t give specifics.” Purple Phoenix Moon Dance told Yi Tian.

The full territory stat boost interested Yi Tian; the rest sounded like no big deal.

The last two times Yi Tian killed Celestial Beasts it was just personal boosts.

”So plan ahead; don’t let anyone else from your territory snatch it first.” Wealthiest in the World once publicly showed off having a Rain Beast Celestial Bead and a Spring Beast Celestial Bead.

If Wealthiest in the World bags two more Celestial Beads, he’ll take off for real.

With four Celestial Beads, you can trade for a Divine Talent.

Purple Phoenix Moon Dance also wanted Yi Tian to get a Divine Talent.

”No one else in my region can kill Flame Beast or Summer Beast.”

In Zone 10086, Summer Beast and Flame Beast are Ghost-Bane.

Over 1,000 on all three dimensions!

In a region where the average is about 100 per dimension, that’s just a nightmare.

”Alright, back to work! Let me know if you get Black Cloud Iron or Black Flame Stone.” Yi Tian said, then dropped from chat.

After learning that Flame Beast gives all territory members a stat boost, Yi Tian was seriously looking forward to its arrival.

On the first floor of the Boutique Warehouse, a bunch of Little Kiddos helped Yi Tian carry materials.

B-level Strong Bow!

B-level Beast Tendon *1, B-level Beast Core *1, B-level Beast Core *1, Gold *3,000, Celestial Dao Coin *50,000.

Yi Tian’d already collected 5,000 B-level Beast Tendons, so no need to buy those.

B-level Beast Core costs 30,000 Celestial Dao Stones apiece, and he needed 2,000 of them.

Back when Yi Tian set the price at 2 million per B-level Strong Bow, Gold was 100 Dao Coins per unit; now it’s 300 Dao Coins per unit.

So, gotta charge more!

It’s not like it was at the beginning of the month—bows and crossbows are all way pricier now.

Yi Tian planned to sell at 3 million Celestial Dao Coins each.

B-level Strong Bows are rare stuff, after all.

Yi Tian calculated each B-level Strong Bow cost him about 1.2 million Dao Coins to make.

He bought 2,000 B-level Beast Cores from the auction house.

Spent 60 million Dao Coins in total.

Dao Coins balance: 305 million.

As for Gold, he needed 600,000 units — that’s 1.8 billion Dao Coins.

Yi Tian just used his stockpile.

Worst case, make some money and buy it back later.

That’s the plan!

Took a full three days, and by the morning of Summer 22nd, Yi Tian finally finished 2,000 B-level Strong Bows.

Each one cost 50,000 Dao Coins to craft, so total crafting fees hit 100 million Dao Coins.

Out of those, 1,000 B-level Strong Bows went straight up for sale!

Wealthiest in the World’s products—guaranteed quality.

Back when Gold hadn’t shot up, they’d go for just over 2 million each at auction; now, with Gold spiking, ordinary weapons only nudged up, but bows and crossbows rocketed.

Wealthiest in the World sold at 3 million Dao Coins per bow. Totally reasonable.

Once news got out, within just 10 minutes, Lords from Middle-Level Regions snatched up all 1,000 B-level Strong Bows.

End-of-month assessment — ultimate weapon.

3 billion Dao Coins credited.

Yi Tian instantly flipped 1.8 billion Dao Coins, buying back 600,000 units of Gold.

Took it from the warehouse to sell; gotta restock when done.

Yi Tian had a feeling Gold’s going to shoot up again!

Over the past couple days, Yi Tian handed Purple Phoenix Moon Dance another 200 million Dao Coins to continue the operation.

Just yesterday, Purple Phoenix Moon Dance delivered 300 pieces of Black Flame Stone and 200 pieces of Black Cloud Iron to Yi Tian.

Riding the B-level Strong Bow hype, Yi Tian also sold 180 High-Level Ox Horn Bows, still at 300 Dao Coins apiece.

Banked a total of 540 million Dao Coins.

Plus last night’s haul — D-level Weapons, C-level Weapons, a few B-level Weapons — sold for another 295 million Dao Coins.

Dao Coin balance: 2.04 billion.

Black Flame Armor and Black Cloud Spear, those are a fortune.

Spending all those Dao Coins didn’t up his points, but his territory’s power level went way up.

”Yu finally bit the dust, first batch of veggies ripened, food crisis totally solved, food prices dropping toward Summer 1 levels, Lords are adapting to Flame Beast Sun Fusion, and everyone’s living large lately!”

Yi Tian watched the channel chat, things were lively. The ”Invasion Faction” has quieted down, and the chat’s way more chill.

”Flame Beast’s still running circles, Summer Beast’s heading south — please don’t say they’re gonna join up in Zone 66!”

Yi Tian had been keeping tabs on Flame Beast and Summer Beast’s movements these days.

”Meteor shower—so pretty!”

”Are you drunk? It’s broad daylight, what meteor shower?” Celestial Gift Race Skage.

”Seriously, looks like a meteor shower up there!”

”Shit, wait—those are meteorites!”
