Chapter 33 - Chapter 31: The Eve of the Grand Assessment

"So relaxing! Got food, got drinks, and a nice place to stay. If it could always be like this, it'd be like being a god in heaven." said Pigman Race's Pig Boar.

"What are you thinking, Pig Boss! This is the calm before the storm. I believe the last four or five days will still be safe. But the more it is like this, the more uneasy I feel. I wonder how many of our brothers will still be able to chat together at the beginning of next month." said Turtle Race's Gui Jie.

"Yeah! If possible, I'd rather still be on our planet. I don't know how my thirty-something wives are doing. I really miss them." said Black Stone Star Human Race Shan Dashan.

"Pervert!"

"Shameless!"

In an instant, many people scolded Shan Dashan. It's obvious they were women.

The men envied Shan Dashan, thinking he's quite lucky with women.

"Are you an emperor, buddy? So flamboyant?" asked Celestial Horse Star's Ma Rulong.

"What's the use of being an emperor? Here, we're all ordinary people. I started as a soldier at sixteen and took ten years to unify the world. I hadn't even enjoyed the fruits of victory for a month when I got dragged here. What bad luck!" Shan Dashan lamented earnestly.

Hearing this, everyone thought this really was extreme bad luck. Compared to Shan Dashan, everyone else's mindset was much more balanced.

"Hey, hey, hey! Shan Dashan, stop bragging. Our planetary federation has been around for over three hundred years. Also, wake up, you don't have a wife!" said Black Stone Star Human Race Si Changling.

A planet, knowing the roots and details. How awkward to be exposed.

"Haha, I'm just lightening the mood, that's all!" said Black Stone Star Human Race Shan Dashan.

Yi Tian lay on the bed, two on the left, two on the right. The bed was almost not enough to sleep on.

After enjoying the fun in the zone, Yi Tian learned from the district chat that the Spring Beast had appeared in Zone 64 in the afternoon.

It basically went in a loop and came back again.

It's worth noting that the Spring Beast seemed to have "returned as a king."

A Lord from Zone 64 said the Spring Beast's three-dimensional strength had already exceeded three hundred.

The survivors couldn't muster the slightest thought of resistance.

"Three hundred strength plus celestial body. Can it resist Fourth Child's lightning?"

Yi Tian wanted to see the scene where Fourth Child strikes the Spring Beast with lightning.

After a day's effort, Fourth Child ate all fifteen Spirit Fruits.

At this moment, Fourth Child's strength was 175, physique 235, agility 220, spiritual power 310.

The next day.

"Added just 1 point of physique again."

After practicing Body Refining Skill for over an hour, Yi Tian's physique reached 211 points.

Compared to an Elemental Warrior, Yi Tian was like a small witch seeing a big witch.

That day, while Yi Tian was making the Hundred Power Divine Crossbow, he kept waiting for the Spring Beast and always paid attention to its movements.

Zone 65.

At this time, Zone 65 was full of complaints, cursing the Spring Beast's ancestors to the ninth generation in their hearts.

This was the first time the Spring Beast appeared in Zone 65, how did it run in a circle and come back again.

The entire district had a total of one hundred zones; logically once it flew away, it shouldn't come back.

Spring Beast's rampage was faster; in just one day, over five hundred people were struck.

Several unlucky ones had already been visited by the Spring Beast twice.

Zone 10086 was shocked.

But what shocked Zone 10086 even more was that at dawn the next day, the Spring Beast was still in Zone 65.

This was already the twenty-seventh day since the Lords came to this world, with the big assessment approaching.

The Spring Beast was like a grand master, latching onto a zone and ransacking it to death.

That day, over five hundred people suffered again.

The twenty-eighth day, the Spring Beast finally left. The originally fearful Zone 65 was relieved.

But Zone 66 began to wail.

That day, although Yi Tian was making the Hundred Power Divine Crossbow, he was mentally tense.

But until night, the Spring Beast didn't arrive.

At night within the zone, hundreds of people cried bitterly, recounting their misfortunes. The Spring Beast's attacks made their already dire situation even worse.

The crops were finally about to mature, but the Spring Beast had eaten them all. The grasslands were pockmarked, trees were skewed, and there was no vitality.

Yi Tian frowned deeply because the Spring Beast's physique had already broken through to 350.

Yi Tian confirmed that the Spring Beast was clearly targeting him!

It had been roaming around various Lords' territories, absorbing energy and strengthening itself, treating his territory as the final feast.

"Yi Tian, based on the territories that were attacked by the Spring Beast, I deduced it is heading east. It will probably pass through your territory and then cross into another zone." came a message from Qin Fanshuang while Yi Tian was working overtime in the Alloy Warehouse, still with dozens of materials left, and just about to complete 6000 Hundred Power Divine Crossbows, when he noticed it in the district chat.

"Got it." Yi Tian casually replied.

Yi Tian was hoping it would come tomorrow. If it came the day after, this creature would probably be much stronger by then.

Yi Tian had already gone from taking it seriously to underestimating it, and then back to taking it seriously.

"Don't worry, if the Spring Beast arrives, just don't resist. It's only a loss of some trees and crops. If it really comes to you, I'll lend you some money to help you grow." Qin Fanshuang suddenly comforted Yi Tian.

Yi Tian was speechless; this big sister didn't know how many resources he had in his territory.

Just the high-level trees total more than 420,000. Various fruit trees and ordinary to medium lumber also amount to nearly 100,000, with top-level bamboo numbering over a thousand.

There are 15 plants of medium and high-level Spirit Fruit, over a hundred plants of medium Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Other vegetables are not counted.

The Spring Beast is coming, Yi Tian knows that it's a life-and-death battle with it, no room for negotiation.

However, Yi Tian also realized that Qin Fanshuang indeed deserves to be the one who owns a gold mine; she speaks with wealth and confidence.

"Qin Fanshuang, about how many units of gold can your gold mine produce?" Yi Tian suddenly became curious about this.

"It's easy to estimate from the distribution of the veins in the small mountain range. After refining the ores, about 100,000 units of gold can be obtained," Qin Fanshuang replied.

Yi Tian's eyes gleamed.

Logically, each gold mine owner's yield is the same. A hundred thousand gold is a lot but also not much. As everyone's strength increases, almost everyone rushes to mine, but it won't last long.

Currently, auction houses have a lot of gold because there are too many people among the Cosmic Ten Thousand Races, and at least each zone has one gold mine owner.

Gold is worth 100 Celestial Dao coins per unit; this balance has been maintained for a long time. The owners of gold mines have tacitly kept this balance, neither lowering nor raising prices.

Wait until everyone's gold mine is mined out, wait until the auction house's gold slowly decreases...

Of course, it will take time for the price to go up. Even if someone realizes the importance of gold, when people haven't the ability to buy large quantities of gold yet, it's difficult for the price to rise.

"Qin Fanshuang, do you have slaves?" Yi Tian asked again.

"No slaves! I've checked auction house slaves, the attributes are too low, so they don't add much to me. Attributes that are too high, I can't control. I don't dare to buy," Qin Fanshuang replied.

"[Brass Mechanized Guard Technology Crystal]. Do you need this? If you're willing to provide the materials, I'll make it for you for free. It won't betray, very suitable for gold mine owners." Seeing the evaluation approaching, Yi Tian gets along well with Qin Fanshuang, consider her a friend.

In the district, there's only one Earthling of the same race, Yi Tian really wants to help her a bit.

To be honest, the Brass Mechanized Guards worth 50,000 value for someone with Qin Fanshuang's wealth is just barely affordable.

Although she has a vein worth 100,000 units of gold, it's not cash.

"Ah... this guard is amazing! With it, I can definitely pass this month's big evaluation. Thank you so much, Yi Tian. Let me prepare." Qin Fanshuang replied excitedly. She looked at her balance and could barely make two. Originally planned to upgrade attributes at the end of the month, she immediately decided to purchase Brass Mechanized Guards.

"[Copper*10000, Gold*500, Silver*1000, Top-level Stone*20, Celestial Dao Coin*20000.] Trade [None]."

After a while, Qin Fanshuang sent the materials to Yi Tian.

"Why did you add 100 units of gold? I really want to help you, I don't need a reward. You doing this makes me unhappy... Forget it, don't do it next time." Yi Tian said upon seeing the extra hundred gold.

Once the materials were ready, Yi Tian quickly made two Brass Mechanized Guards using the Weapon Platform.

The Brass Mechanized Guards only obey the orders of the territorial Lord.

Guard! Represents that within the rules, it can't leave the territory.

When it is traded to any territory, it will only recognize the territorial Lord as its master.

Warriors, however, are different; they only listen to the creator's orders and can't be traded, once outside the territory, they still fight for the Lord.

For instance, the Wind Elemental Warrior, at the moment of its awareness's birth, Yi Tian is its eternal master.

"[Brass Mechanized Guard*2] Trade [None]." After completing manufacturing, Yi Tian sent them to Qin Fanshuang.

"Alright, I'm off to do other things, goodbye!"

When Yi Tian finished speaking, his Hundred Power Divine Crossbows were completed.

The auction house's price for Hundred Power Divine Crossbows matched Yi Tian's expectations, having already surpassed 20,000 Celestial Dao Coins, reaching 25,000.

Higher than Yi Tian's estimate.

Maybe tomorrow, or the day after, it might go up another thousand.

However, Yi Tian didn't wait any longer, listing 6,000 Hundred Power Divine Crossbows with a unit price of 25,000.

This quantity of Hundred Power Divine Crossbows left those who saw it greatly shocked.

The numbers are there; if all sold, it would be 150 million Celestial Dao Coins.

What concept is that?

Wealthiest in the World.

Yet another Wealthiest in the World!

Who exactly is this big shot bearing Human Race information?

If someone previously claimed to be worth over a billion, they were scoffed at; now they have to believe it. Ordinary living creatures fret over a few thousand Celestial Dao Coins, while some already deal in the billions.

People are infuriated by comparisons!

Those selling Hundred Power Divine Crossbows beat their chests, thinking if they had tens of millions of funding, they could also act as boldly as the Wealthiest in the World. They make one Hundred Power Divine Crossbow and might sell in half a day, barely able to quickly roll up a snowball.

As soon as a few Hundred Power Divine Crossbows are bought, post-trades surge, Yi Tian's crossbow gets pinned in the Hundred Power Divine Crossbow trading area, followed by the Bow and Crossbow area, ending at the Weapon area.

This is Yi Tian's advantage. Ordinary merchants remain at the bottom of the zone upon listing, only cheap enough can they climb up.

"Great Emperor requests to chat with you."

While Yi Tian was observing the prices of resources across various industries, a chat request suddenly arrived.

"Hello, Wealthiest in the World!" The Great Emperor started the conversation.

"Hello, what do you need?" Yi Tian, used to chats like this, connects to see if there's anything needed; usually, a couple of lines then he hangs up.

He's encountered all sorts of outrageous requests before, even ones from self-proclaimed Earthlings asking for loans, of which Yi Tian has seen several times.

Not to mention those who aren't Earthlings, even if they are, Yi Tian wouldn't lend money.

"I have a batch of Human Race slaves; are you interested?" The Great Emperor was straightforward.

"What's their strength?" Yi Tian did not answer immediately but counterasked.
