Global Lords: My Territory Heart Is a World Tree

Chapter 293: Chapter 169: Leaving Again

An hour later, the number of people in the World Chat Channel plummeted until it stopped at 10,000.

[World Chat Channel (10,000)]

Ding Dong: "Phew~~ Those depressing guys are finally gone!"

Ding Dong: "Seriously, they already quit, so why come back to stir up emotions? It made me afraid to even look at the chat channel."

Ding Dong: "Alright, alright, let’s liven things up! We’re all allies in the next stage, so let’s talk strategy."

Zhang Jing: "Ding the Ninth, what’s there to discuss? We don’t even know who our opponents are yet. Any discussion is just armchair strategizing. Isn’t it better to just adapt as we go?"

Zhang Jing: "We have a lot of big shots this round. Besides traditional tech-stream powerhouses like Qian Duoduo, we’ve now got guys like Yun Qihao on the religious path, Lin Yu on the Magic path, and Lord Li with his Extraordinary Territory. We have a huge advantage! We’ll just steamroll everyone."

Ding Dong: "That’s true. Hey, all you big shots, want to give an acceptance speech for the ’Big Shot Certification’ Zhang Jing just awarded you?"

Zhang Jing: "Holy crap, they’re our publicly acknowledged powerhouses, alright? Are you saying you think you’re stronger than them?"

Ding Dong: "Fuck, don’t make baseless accusations."

Ding Dong: "Oh, right. We can check points and rankings now. Any whales wanna report their stats so we can all look on in awe?"

Zhang Jing: "That’s so rude. Asking about something so private in public like this, who’s going to answer you? That’s just asking for people to get jealous. Take me, for example. I’m ranked 2,564th. Did I say that out loud?"

Zhang Jing: "Besides, first place has to be either Yun Qihao or Qian Duoduo. As for that ’Anonymous 1’ guy, he disappeared after the third month. And considering his advantage was already shrinking back then, his development since must have been pretty poor."

Ding Dong: "In the following months, rankings were only shown during the legion competitions. Maybe it was too hard for him to hide his identity then?"

Zhang Jing: "With his twisted sense of humor, I bet he just didn’t develop well enough and was too embarrassed to keep using his alternate ID."

Ding Dong: "I bet his focus shifted. Maybe, like Lord Li, he got a building that can turn his territory into an Extraordinary Territory and is hiding somewhere developing it in secret!"

Li Hua: "You two, argue all you want, but can you please leave me out of it? I’ve got a headache over here!"

Ding Dong: "Aha, Lord Li, you’ve shown yourself! So, how about it? Selling your territory? The price is negotiable. My family would definitely sell the farm to support me in buying it."

Qian Duoduo: "Don’t listen to his nonsense. If you’re selling, consider my offer. I’ll pay a high price!"

Qian Duoduo: "Also, I noticed the competition added some new features. We can build sub-bases now, and even recruit other lords to form a team. If you don’t want to sell, you could also join my team. The pay would be lower, but I can protect you and let you upgrade your territory in peace."

Li Hua: "Not selling, not selling! Everyone, stop trying to persuade me. My territory isn’t as great as you think. I just got ahold of a distributable Cultivation Technique, and that’s how I created those heroes."

Li Hua: "After I get back, I’m going to sell the Cultivation Technique to the Cuiwei Star Government. When that happens, if any of you need it, you can buy it from the government yourselves!"

Qian Duoduo: "Why sell to the government? Sell to my Qian Family! We’ll definitely pay more than the government."

Qian Duoduo: "@Li Hua, you still there?"

Qian Duoduo: "@Li Hua, say something!"

Ding Dong: "Lord Li, so generous! I’ll definitely support you and buy a copy later. It’d be great if it could get me a few more heroes for my territory."

Zhang Jing: "Let me see it after you buy it. One price, two people get to see it. What a bargain!!"

Zhao Yunxiang: "Count me in!"

Zhao Yunfei: "Me too!"

...

The conversation in the chat group was instantly derailed. Lin Yu, for his part, breathed a sigh of relief. When Ding Dong and Zhang Jing were talking about "Anonymous 1," he had been worried they’d continue the topic and expose his identity. It wasn’t that being exposed was a huge deal; he was just afraid of ruining the current harmonious atmosphere.

Luckily, their chatter had drawn Li Hua out, and the topic immediately went off-track.

Now, everyone was discussing how to spend the least amount of money to get their hands on that Cultivation Technique.

’But, Li Hua actually managed to divert the conflict just like that? Not bad!’

Lin Yu had been debating all day whether he should sell a one-time-use teleporter to Li Hua. After all, their partnership had been pretty good so far, and Li Hua’s territory had immense potential.

Li Hua’s territory was bound to follow a cultivation path in the future, and there were many areas where they could help each other out.

Lin Yu (Private Message): "Lord Li, you there?"

Li Hua (Private Message): "Shouldn’t you be setting up your territory? What do you want with me? I happen to know your territory is quite large."

Lin Yu (Private Message): "Just wanted to ask which Cultivation Technique you’re planning to sell."

Li Hua (Private Message): "My own *Star Technique*, of course! Don’t worry, I’m not going to sell your *Sun and Moon Breathing Technique*."

Lin Yu (Private Message): "That’s not what I meant. I’m mainly worried that if I get exposed too, I’ll also plan on handing over a Cultivation Technique to save my skin. It’d be awkward if I handed over the same one as you!!"

Li Hua (Private Message): "Don’t worry, they won’t be the same."

Lin Yu (Private Message): "By the way, Brother Li, you don’t happen to have any other Cultivation Techniques, do you?"

Li Hua (Private Message): "Nope, none!"

Lin Yu (Private Message): "Don’t be so absolute. What if your plan doesn’t work this time? Keeping them would be useless, right? They’d just end up benefiting someone else!"

Li Hua was silent for a moment before continuing his conversation with Lin Yu.

Li Hua (Private Message): "I don’t have any! Now that I have your *Sun and Moon Breathing Technique*, I don’t need any other Cultivation Techniques."
