Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos-Chapter 50 - 46: Bountiful Gains

"The auction begins, Five Elements Sacred Fruit, starting price 1 million, each increment no less than one hundred thousand."

As Yi Tian placed the Five Elements Spirit Fruit on the auction stand, a group of top leaders began their competition.

The reason for the minimum increase of 100,000 is to facilitate everyone in placing Elemental Warrior Design Maps.

In the first wave of bidding, Yi Tian thought the leaders would probably probe a bit first.

Start with courtesy before force!

But who knew a leader would play unpredictably.

A direct bid of twenty million Celestial Dao Coins was shouted over Yi Tian’s head.

Purple Phoenix Moon Dance!

Yi Tian realized he underestimated her strength. But there was one thing he didn’t underestimate about her.

Her character was too carefree, her dislikes, joys, and goals, every move she made was expressed without hesitation, without concealment.

"The current price for the Five Elements Sacred Fruit is 20 million Celestial Dao Coins; if there is no new bid, it will be automatically sold in thirty seconds."

Yi Tian’s words caused an uproar. Some people with a three-dimensional score of less than a hundred were dumbfounded.

To them, twenty million Celestial Dao Coins was an astronomical number. And it was just the price of one Spirit Fruit.

Not yet sold!

Are there really such disparities among Lords?

No wonder the Celestial Dao Rules would divide them into different districts.

Many Lords were glad they attended this auction. Even though they didn’t buy anything, they broadened their horizons and increased their outlook.

The big shots were speechless. Previously, the Glazed Holy Fruit had been raised with over a dozen bids.

Now, a leap to twenty million. How could they match that?

Being titled S-level leaders meant they kill or capture S-level strong ones by monthly assessments.

Now, it’s the beginning of the month, even if their hands are affluent, they can’t bid like this.

After all, a portion of Celestial Dao Coins needs to be saved for territory development.

After about ten seconds, Yi Tian saw hundreds of transactions floating on the screen.

This time, the Celestial Dao Coins did not increase; they added Element Cores as the base.

All bidders were district leaders with dozens of Element Cores each.

"The current price for the Five Elements Sacred Fruit is 20 million Celestial Dao Coins, 10 Element Cores, 3 Elemental Warrior Design Maps..."

"The current price for the Five Elements Sacred Fruit is 20 million Celestial Dao Coins, 15 Element Cores, 4 Elemental Warrior Design Maps..."

"The current price for the Five Elements Sacred Fruit is 20 million Celestial Dao Coins, 20 Element Cores, 3 Elemental Warrior Design Maps..."

This was Purple Phoenix Moon Dance’s bid, showcasing her wealth to Yi Tian. Even if she failed in bidding, it didn’t matter because Yi Tian was eyeing her wealth and connections.

"Auction countdown..."

For over twenty seconds there was no movement, just when Yi Tian prepared to count down, several bids emerged, one with a decisive momentum.

"The current price for the Five Elements Sacred Fruit is 20 million Celestial Dao Coins, 30 Element Cores, 5 Elemental Warrior Design Maps..."

This value now equaled over 30 million Celestial Dao Coins. Many audience members’ hearts couldn’t take it.

Yet Yi Tian remained at ease, chatting and laughing.

Yi Tian watched the time, twenty-five seconds, twenty-six seconds.

"Auction countdown, three, two, one, transaction complete. The final price for the Five Elements Sacred Fruit is 20 million Celestial Dao Coins, 30 Element Cores, 5 Elemental Warrior Design Maps. Congratulations to this Lord for obtaining the finale Spirit Fruit of today’s auction!"

Yi Tian clapped his hands and announced loudly.

As he finished, the Five Elements Sacred Fruit disappeared from the auction stand.

Long Xuanming, Yi Tian remembered that name.

Yi Tian realized these S-level leaders hardly ever concealed their identities, nor did they use nicknames, only real names.

Is this the confidence of the strong?

"Thanks to all the Lords for their support, helping all items at this auction to be completed and successfully concluded. On the seventh of this month, Wealth Tower will hold a second auction. On the seventh, the Spirit Fruits seen today, including the Five Elements Sacred Fruit, Glazed Holy Fruit, Dragon Blood Holy Fruit, and some other items, will appear again, please stay tuned!"

Yi Tian took this opportunity to announce the next personal auction in advance.

And let them know there will also be SSS-level Spirit Fruits at the next auction.

Yi Tian felt it was necessary to notify them, otherwise, they might upgrade their territory without enhancing their own strength, which is not a good habit.

After speaking, Yi Tian walked away slowly.

This auction was extremely successful, exceeding expectations in gains.

Most importantly, Yi Tian ascertained the prices of Spirit Fruits and Element Cores.

No more groping blindly in the future. In retrospect, the previous transaction with the Great Emperor was not profitable, but rather a loss.

Life is like this, progress comes after failure.

Yi Tian wouldn’t retaliate against the Great Emperor with Five Elements Sacred Fruits or Glazed Holy Fruits.

Purple Phoenix Moon Dance is undoubtedly the leader of a Top-Level Region.

The Great Emperor is the leader of a High-Level Region, and also has connections with many High-Level Regions.

These two routes, Yi Tian must find a way to maintain.

Ordinary Region, Middle-Level Region, High-Level Region, Top-Level Region.

These four types of regions coexist in the Celestial Dao World, yet there’s an invisible barrier that makes information difficult to exchange.

However, after this auction, the Great Emperor will have a headache obtaining Glazed Holy Fruit and Five Elements Sacred Fruit.

The Five Elements Sacred Fruit is worth 35.5 million and the Glazed Holy Fruit is 15 million. Fifty million! Even at an 80% discount, it’s 40 million. Requiring eighty Element Cores.

Yi Tian knew the Great Emperor was a two-star merchant, though he wasn’t sure how well he sucked in wealth.

Yi Tian assessed this session’s earnings.

million Celestial Dao Coins, 51 Element Cores, and 15 Elemental Warrior Design Maps.

Yi Tian’s Element Cores currently total 91.

Celestial Dao Coin: 109,760,000.

After this auction, Yi Tian understood the value of Spirit Fruits. At the same time, he realized he must think long-term and not rely solely on Spirit Fruits to exploit the Lords.

Spirit Fruits are limited, and if it’s only Spirit Fruits, the Wealth Tower will eventually go out of business.

Yi Tian wanted to introduce something new, but many of his possessions were already available at the auction house.

For the Wealth Tower to remain popular, aside from Spirit Fruits, it needs to auction items that the auction house doesn’t have.

Indigenous People!

Yi Tian thought about the outside; if he could contact the Indigenous People, he could trade for valuable goods not found in his territory.

Mist Scroll!

Yi Tian felt it necessary to leave the territory once.

Upon returning to the villa, Yi Tian changed his mercenary status and prepared to take on some tasks.

In the villa’s hall, the Howling Moon Silver Wolf sat on the sofa, while Little White sat below, nodding and bowing. Where was its previous haughty demeanor?

The two Eastsea Falcons lived in a cave on the mountain, and did not interfere with Little White.

Little White always thought of itself as the master’s first horse, reigning supreme until the end of time.

Who would have thought the Howling Moon Silver Wolf would appear with an overwhelming presence, bullying Little White completely, forcing it to submit as the elder sister.

As Yi Tian appeared, Little Moon suddenly got up, jumped off the sofa, rubbed against Yi Tian’s pants like a husky, and circled around him.

For some reason, Little Moon even learned how to wag its tail.

As the Howling Moon Silver Wolf’s dignity lay scattered,

The Howling Moon Silver Wolf thought: There’s no choice but to please, to eat Spirit Fruit, it must make the master happy.

"Good! Once you advance further, I’ll let you eat Spirit Fruit." Yi Tian patted Little Moon’s head.

The Howling Moon Silver Wolf was in its Growth Stage, growing rapidly.

The more it ate Spirit Fruit later, the greater the benefits.

"Little White, you seem unhappy! Don’t be like that. You currently rank fourth among the fierce beasts in the territory, and the Five Tigers are behind you."

"In a few days, you won’t become ninth, right?" Yi Tian understood Little White’s frustration and offered some comfort.

Among the Five Tigers, Little White could still showcase its regal demeanor.

Little White’s eyes lit up, and it held its head high, seemingly ready to maintain its remaining dignity.

"Alright, you all play slowly now. Little Moon, don’t bully Little White." Finished speaking, Yi Tian disappeared from the spot.

A new task came, another D-level difficulty Lord.

This Lord bought a few Kobolds from the Slave Market whose attributes were a bit higher than his. To his surprise, before even using the Lord Contract, the Kobolds broke free from their bonds and rebelled.

Yi Tian went forward and kicked the Kobold unconscious, and very considerately helped the employer force the Kobold to recognize its master.

The employer was grateful to tears, and if possible, would definitely give Yi Tian a five-star rating.

Back in the territory, Yi Tian opened the auction house to contact Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yi Tian came online, Purple Phoenix Moon Dance sent a chat request.

"Long time no see, Purple Phoenix Moon Dance!"

"Wealthiest in the World, do you even have a merchant’s integrity? Deceiving me about the Spirit Fruit Tree?"

After the chat connected, Yi Tian and Purple Phoenix Moon Dance sent out their first messages simultaneously.

"A deal is a deal, mutual consent, how could it be called deception? Besides, I didn’t force you. You didn’t lose money," Yi Tian replied.

"Wealthiest in the World, don’t you know you’re in danger? Many in our region are inquiring about your area division, waiting for the Celestial Dao Rules to allow it, and then slaughtering you like a fat sheep!" Purple Phoenix Moon Dance sent a message to Yi Tian.

Through a casual personal auction, Yi Tian amassed billions in wealth. The weak Lords could only be envious.

The strong Lords were particularly jealous.

Moreover, Yi Tian was still Human.

In the Cosmic Ten Thousand Races, the Human Race’s strength rating is only Intermediate.

This Intermediate level is propped up by several High-Level civilizations of Humans and several Cultivation Civilizations, with repeated breakthroughs in Genetic Potions. The highest-level, non-side effect Genetic Potion can elevate three-dimensional attributes to 200. Then, using the Cosmic Battleship and Mecha, and Light Energy Weapons that can devastate stars, they can deter those Middle Races.

But humans are just humans, even with Star-Annihilating Weapons, they are made of flesh and blood, unable to compare with gods.

To those inherently powerful races, the Wealthiest in the World, such a Human, is just a fat sheep.

Without exaggeration, there are likely more living creatures desiring to hunt Yi Tian than there are in the entire Zone 10086.

A man with no guilt can be assumed guilty just by holding a treasure. The ancestors’ summary of this makes perfect sense.

Even among the Top-level Races, a very righteous person, upon seeing Yi Tian’s wealth, may inevitably take action.

"I’m truly honored to be on the minds of you powerful ones!" Yi Tian had long expected such a thing to happen, and jokingly said, "Purple Phoenix Moon Dance, have you considered me as your fat sheep?"

"Of course, if I met you, I would surely... ." Purple Phoenix Moon Dance’s chat message was abruptly cut off.

In the Celestial Dao World, chat isn’t typed; instead, thoughts make words appear. Realizing her mistake, Purple Phoenix Moon Dance hastily sent this unfinished message to Yi Tian’s chat room.

"Of course, I wouldn’t actually target you; we are trading partners and have cooperated happily." Purple Phoenix Moon Dance quickly added, sounding rather insincere.

She still had her mind on trading Spirit Fruits with Yi Tian, fearing he might hang up.

"We are friends, and I will definitely help you."

Purple Phoenix Moon Dance added, appearing flustered.

"No need to hide; I understand your thoughts. Your thinking doesn’t make you a hypocrite, and I won’t mind. Different races think differently. It’s like humans snatching a jade ring from a bird’s beak without feeling guilty and without considering the bird’s feelings. They might even think it’s their luck or a blessing from heaven." After a month of training, Yi Tian had grown deeply resilient.

He knew this was a world where the weak fall prey to the strong.

"You are insightful to know my thoughts," Purple Phoenix Moon Dance was quite astonished.

"Hehe, if that bird with the jade ring wasn’t a sparrow but a Dragon Sparrow, even a single thought from humans would be sacrilege!" Yi Tian added with self-awareness.

Yi Tian was challenging Purple Phoenix Moon Dance and other Top-level Races, High-level Races, and those who considered themselves gods.
