Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate - Chapter 269 - 267: Barter

Chapter 269: Chapter 267: Barter

Early the next morning.

As the sky just began to lighten, Lin You got up as usual to arrange for Xue Changgui and the others to handle the Magic Energy Airship matters.

Then he made another trip to the Dwarf Tribe, handing over the Tier Eight materials collected yesterday to Mageon for crafting equipment.

However, this first batch of equipment, Lin You did not plan to sell.

Instead, he intended to use it to arm the city’s cultivator team.

Especially the convoy guards responsible for protecting the trade route must each be equipped with a set of Tier Eight gear.

After all, he couldn’t always dispatch heroic species for escorting.

So soon, he sought out Wei Gang to notify the cultivators under him.

Anyone who reached Tier Seven and had served Yellow Sand City for over a month could apply to join the Guard and directly receive a set of Tier Eight gear.

Those who just joined Yellow Sand City could also apply with a life token guarantee, to be returned after passing the assessment in a month.

“Lord, is everything you said true?”

Outside the Training Ground, Wei Gang widened his eyes in disbelief as he looked at Lin You.

A set of equipment crafted by the Dwarf Race was highly tempting even for him.

Although he already had a set of Tier Eight gear previously rewarded by Lin You, one could never have too much of it.

Moreover, it’s a complete set!

He was sure that if he spread this news among his subordinates, those cultivators would be ecstatic.

Lin You knew exactly what he was thinking and smiled: “Alright, no need to envy. If you want, just ask the dwarves to craft you a set as a reward for your hard work in training the soldiers.”

“Really?”

Wei Gang trembled with excitement.

“Thank you, Lord!”

“Alright, go take care of this. It would be best if you can have it done by tomorrow.”

“Yes! Mission guaranteed to be accomplished!”

Wei Gang’s body instantly straightened.

After Lin You turned and left, walking away, the cultivators hiding and eavesdropping finally couldn’t hold back any longer and immediately rushed up to encircle Wei Gang.

“Commander, what did the Lord just say to you? You look very excited.”

“Is something big about to happen again?”

“I just heard the Lord mentioned something about equipment.”

A group of people, all talking at once, surrounded Wei Gang.

Many of them had already reached Tier Seven.

Some had achieved this level through the Cultivation Field’s enhancements, while others had recently joined Yellow Sand City and worked under Wei Gang.

They could be considered the backbone of Yellow Sand City’s current defenders.

In response to their inquiries, Wei Gang didn’t keep them in suspense; he directly relayed what Lin You had just instructed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted.

“Commander, is it true? We can really get a set of Tier Eight gear!?”

“Did the Lord truly say that just now!?”

“Hahaha, this is great! I just advanced to Tier Seven and need a set of equipment.”

“Hurry, Commander, sign me up. I want to go!”

“I’ve been here for over a month too, sign me up as well!”

“Damn! I estimate I only need a few more days to reach Tier Seven. No, I must rush to the Cultivation Field for seclusion training!”

“Wait for me, I’m coming too!”

The cultivators exclaimed repeatedly, with some rejoicing and others worrying.

Those who met the application criteria were glad they had been serving in Yellow Sand City early on.

Those worried were either slightly short of Tier Seven requirements or had just joined Yellow Sand City.

However, after consideration, many were willing to use their life charts as a guarantee for the application chance.

After all, a set of Tier Eight gear crafted personally by the Dwarf Race was extremely enticing to them!

If they could get it, they would at least have a chance to fight a Tier Eight Demon.

A temptation strong enough to stir their hearts fiercely.

Before long.

News of Lin You recruiting a large number of Tier Seven and above cultivators to form an escort team spread like wildfire throughout Yellow Sand City, causing quite a stir.

“As long as you join the team, you can directly receive a set of Tier Eight gear!?”

“That’s… that’s too unbelievable, right?”

“Is this news true?”

“Absolutely, the square is already filled with notices, and many people have gone to see it.”

“Wow! What a generous move!”

“Let’s go! We’d better hurry over or there might be no spots left!”

Whether they were residents of Yellow Sand City or newcomers, everyone was shocked by the sudden news.

Each of them dropped what they were doing and rushed to the central square.

Even in the streets, cultivators were calling their friends and hurrying to sign up.

This spectacle left several representatives from Shuangye City, who had just arrived with a food shipment, astonished and deeply shocked.

Because just a moment ago, they also heard the discussions around and learned about Yellow Sand City’s mass recruitment of cultivators.

“Gulp…”

The manager leading the Shuangye City team couldn’t help but swallow hard.

Tier Eight gear was rare even in their entire Shuangye City.

But in this Yellow Sand City, it’s directly used to recruit subordinates??

This is way too extravagant!

Not to mention those freelance cultivators, even those of them belonging to Shuangye City can’t help but want to sign up, and they’re secretly discussing it among themselves.

“Ahem…” The General Manager of Shuangye City lightly coughed twice, interrupting their daydreams, “Let’s go, we’ll talk after we get inside, remember to be polite later.”

After saying this, he led the grain transport team into the city, slowly heading inward.

Not long after, Lin You, who had already returned to his territory, received news of a large shipment of grain from Shuangye City.

“Are you saying they directly transported five hundred thousand pounds of grain to us?”

Lin You, who was in the midst of recruiting species, looked up in surprise at Xu Zhong, who came to report.

Five hundred thousand pounds of grain is no small amount, enough to feed the people of his city for a while and immediately solve the recent food shortage caused by population growth.

“Yes.” Xu Zhong, who was standing by, replied respectfully.

“Not only did they deliver five hundred thousand pounds of grain, but they also offered it to us at the lowest price, saying it was to deepen the friendship between the two cities.”

“Oh? Meng Qing’an does have some interesting ideas.”

Lin You slowly stood up, a slight smile appearing on his face.

While others are eager to hoard resources like grain, which is crucial yet basic for territorial development, he is generously giving it to Yellow Sand City.

He really went all out.

But since the other party helped him such a great deal, he naturally couldn’t let them suffer a loss for nothing.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “In that case, go back and tell the envoy from Shuangye City that I can sell them some Tier Seven and Eight equipment in the future. Let Manager Xue discuss the details with them.”

“Alright, I’ll go relay the message immediately.”

Bowing once, Xu Zhong left the territory.

…

On the other side.

After discussing matters with Xue Changgui, the General Manager of Shuangye City quickly brought the news back to Meng Qing’an.

“What did you say? He really said he could sell us some equipment!?”

Upon hearing the report, Meng Qing’an stood up from his chair, his face filled with ecstatic joy.

Months ago, when he personally visited Yellow Sand City, he had expressed his intention to purchase Dwarf Race equipment from Lin You.

Unfortunately, Lin You did not agree at that time.

Little did he expect that today he would agree, and with extremely precious Tier Seven and Eight equipment no less!

“Good, excellent, you’ve done a great job!”

Meng Qing’an sat back down, gripping the chair’s armrest tightly, then stood up again, his excitement unmistakable.

He is currently only a Tier Six territory.

If he can obtain those Tier Seven and even Eight equipment, it would undoubtedly be an immense upgrade for him.

At the very least, it would greatly increase his survival rate in the next Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms.

Looking further ahead, he could also use this equipment to recruit subordinates or acquire other resources, which would be incredibly beneficial for his territory’s enhancement.

This batch of grain was indeed not sent in vain!

He couldn’t help but cheer in excitement for his wise decision.

…

Secret Sanctuary.

Main Island of the Floating Islands.

After spending over a million Magic Energy to replenish the lost species, Lin You visited again, preparing to collect more Tier Eight materials.

After all, having opened so many air routes at once, the manpower required is not a small number, so the more crafting materials, the better.

However, before heading to the Main Demon Plane, he first set up a stall on the platform, displaying the newly acquired Beast Type Token and Sacred Artifact, labeled as exchange-only.

Then he sat to the side, organizing items in his personal space.

After leveling up to Tier Seven, the capacity of his personal space increased from the original 250 units to 500 units.

It was enough to store the corpses of 50 medium-sized wild beasts without any issue.

Yet now he mostly only had some daily necessities and various miscellaneous tools left, unknowingly occupying several dozens of space units.

Many of these were left behind from before and are no longer useful.

Such as hemp rope, flint, tree wax, and fur coats.

He planned to organize them first, then dispose of or destroy them later to free up space.

This way, he wouldn’t have to make multiple trips when there’s no room for crafting materials.

As he sorted through, a few Lords soon passed by his stall, drawn by the two items displayed.

“Huh? This species is actually matched with a Territorial Sacred Artifact?”

“Indeed, and the effect of this Territorial Sacred Artifact is so strong!”

“Each level increases damage by 5% for two attributes?”

“It even comes with a burst skill!”

Those few Lords exclaimed in low tones, all shocked by the attributes of the Poisonous Fire Raging Wild Sacred Artifact.

Among them, a Beast Type Lord was particularly tempted, staring intently at the two items.

But he hesitated, as he had nothing of equal value to trade.

“Um…”

The Beast Type Lord called out softly.

“What’s up? Interested in these two items?”

Lin You closed his personal space, looking up at him.

The Beast Type Lord hesitated for a moment and said, “I don’t have any treasures to trade; do you think this would be okay?”

As he spoke, he took out a peculiar item from his personal space.
