Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Halfway through, when his spiritual power was exhausted, Yi Tian consumed a piece of the ten-color chrysanthemum to restore his power and continued on.

At night, the mission pace did not slow.

As more Lords advanced to S-level, various events continued to unfold.

Yi Tian was the strongest in the Celestial Dao World, and even if the Divine Race disliked him, they would still prioritize hiring him upon seeing him online.

The first on the S-level Mercenary Golden List wasn’t as popular as Yi Tian.

Eleven at night.

Upon returning once more, Yi Tian checked the time.

Today, he completed over three hundred tasks rated S-level.

In one day, he completed as much work as a top professional mercenary would in half a month.

And it was all with a perfect victory record.

This put Yi Tian at a great advantage when vying for the title of King of Mercenaries.

After the refresh of the Mercenary Golden List at midnight.

If he ranks within two thousand, Yi Tian could retire to the Space-Time Stone the next day for some good cultivation and reflection, otherwise, he’d have to keep working.

“Mercenary System alert, a Lord has issued you a task request. The task requires investigating a dangerous area, killing a mid-stage SSS-level fierce beast and an SS-level beast. Does the Lord accept the task, if accepted, this task is rated SSS-level.”

Yi Tian hadn’t even caught his breath when the Celestial Dao Stone prompted him again.

This time, it was very different from the monotonous tasks before.

An SSS-level rated task, at the time of selecting the King of Mercenaries, was worth at least what a hundred S-level rated tasks could match.

If he completed this task, even if he doesn’t make it to the top two thousand on the S-level Mercenary Golden List, he still has a good chance to be elected King of Mercenaries.

The mid-stage SSS-level fierce beast, Yi Tian was confident he could take down.

But Yi Tian wasn’t foolish, a hundred thousand Celestial Dao Coins wouldn’t cut it for this task.

Moreover, the employer wants to explore a potentially big treasure site.

“A mid-stage SSS-level fierce beast is too dangerous. One mistake, and I could lose my life in the Yellow Springs. The pay and reward are not proportional.” Yi Tian sent a message to the employer.

The implication was clear; more pay was needed!

Yi Tian had the right to ask.

Before the second batch of Lords descended, who else but him could handle a mid-stage SSS-level fierce beast?

Truthfully, Yi Tian indeed had to take some risks; if that beast was far advanced into the mid-stage, Yi Tian would need to consume the Celestial Jade Purple Moss and exert all his means.

If he had Divine Talent, Yi Tian would simply flee.

“How many Celestial Dao Coins do you want?” the employer replied to Yi Tian.

“Forget a hundred thousand Celestial Dao Coins this time, the remains of the fierce beasts are mine. Also, whatever treasures are in there, we split fifty-fifty.” Yi Tian told the employer.

He thought this was quite generous of him. The most painful things are those you can see but not touch, just like a Mirror Flower Water Moon.

The employer hesitated.

Yi Tian didn’t terminate the deal, as even killing a single mid-stage SSS-level beast was a lucrative gain.

“Alright!” After a while, the employer agreed to the deal.

“Teleport!”

Holding the Celestial Dao Stone, a flash of white light transported Yi Tian to the employer’s location.

The moment he landed, Yi Tian knew he was on an island.

Surrounding him was the vast ocean, with the moonlight pouring onto the swaying sea surface, imparting a certain chilliness to the sea.

Yi Tian saw, standing on a sea stone battered by waves, a graceful figure, solitary against the liquid moonlight, unrivaled in beauty.

Oh!

An acquaintance!

“We truly are fated; this is our third meeting.”

Yi Tian said aloud.

The one who hired him was Divine Yun.

Upon seeing the task, Yi Tian had felt it was issued by an Unparalleled Celestial Pride, but he hadn’t expected it to be Divine Yun.

“Each time, you take away my opportunities. If possible, I wouldn’t want to meet you.”

Divine Yun remained as aloof and coldly beautiful as always.

She did not wish to hire Yi Tian.

But at this moment, she had no other choice.

Although it was night, her deductions indicated she couldn’t kill that fierce beast.

What she couldn’t achieve during the night, no other Unparalleled Celestial Pride could either.

The thing was on the verge of maturity, and if it matured, it would instantly be consumed by the fierce beast.

Waiting was impossible, with her returning later to collect it.

Divine Yun was proficient in Inference Skill, yet she felt that no matter what, she couldn’t escape this fate.

The first treasure of the Profound Robe King meant little gain or loss to Divine Yun, just an uncomfortable feeling.

But the second time, even putting forth all her effort, she missed a great opportunity.

The Seven-Star Divine-Level Spirit Flower itself became a Spiritual Treasure.

Yi Tian didn’t understand the value of the World-purifying Lotus; Divine Yun was well aware. Even the Divine Kings in the Cosmos were tempted.

Divine Yun felt she lacked sufficient fortune; if it were night, the World-purifying Lotus would be hers.

This time, after slaying the Snow Beast, Divine Yun encountered a good opportunity.

Upon detecting the mid-stage SSS-level fierce beast, she originally thought to wait for a while until she broke through to SS-level to claim the Divine Fruit.

However, she calculated that the Divine Fruit would mature within two days. She alone couldn’t take the Divine Fruit in two days.

She thought of Yi Tian, whose combat power was unsurpassed across the ages.

She could contact Yi Tian, but seeing Yi Tian engaged in mercenary tasks, a mere point of contact would connect her to him.

Divine Yun knew that the moment she contacted Yi Tian, the Divine Fruit no longer belonged solely to her.

Moreover, she would certainly gain less than Yi Tian.

“Divine Yun, that statement isn’t right. It’s fate, how could one force it? But I see the Divine Maiden is even more formidable tonight than before, quite a progress in strength!”

Regarding past events, Yi Tian didn’t want to elaborate.

“Compared to the esteemed second in the world, I’m still far behind!”

Divine Yun had also misjudged. Yi Tian’s sudden rise caught her unprepared.

She too found it curious, it was an unpredictable fate.

This time, it was just her and Yi Tian; she tried to discern any differences in Yi Tian but still received no effective messages in return.
