Live Strong in the Wilderness
Chapter 475: A Big Deal
"Opportunities are created by people. As long as you persist, there’s still hope." Xu Yi offered a bowl of chicken soup, but he couldn’t very well say, "Yeah, you’re all out of luck. Just give me your Star Charts, and I’ll still have a chance to fight."
"Xu Yi, you didn’t come here just to tell us this, did you?" Li Kang glanced at Xu Yi, thinking he couldn’t possibly be so bored as to bring a Level 4 Fierce Beast just to mess with them.
Xu Yi smiled slightly and said, "Do you want a Level 4 Fierce Beast? I can help you tame it."
"We want it!" Jerry exclaimed excitedly.
"We really want it!" Ivica looked at Xu Yi with intense desire, as if they couldn’t wait to snatch Xu Yi’s Level 4 Fierce Beast immediately. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"What’s the price?" Li Kang was more straightforward, asking directly about the cost.
"One Star Chart per beast." Xu Yi quoted his price.
The three were silent for a moment, seemingly weighing in their minds whether to agree or not.
They were only Level 3 Mages. If they could have a Level 4 Fierce Beast, they could dominate in a Level 3 Fierce Beast Territory. It would also allow them to train in a Level 4 Fierce Beast Territory.
"I want it; we can trade now." Jerry saw this as a chance to turn things around; after all, strength is an advantage.
With that, Jerry handed over a Star Chart.
Xu Yi didn’t expect Jerry to be so straightforward and even carry a Star Chart with him.
"Deal." Xu Yi took the Star Chart, completing the transaction.
Then, Xu Yi used his Spiritual Power to ’communicate’ with the Level 4 Fierce Beast.
A while later, it went over to Jerry’s side and nuzzled against him.
"I need two," Li Kang stated his demand after some thought.
"We also need two," Lei Jie felt that Level 4 Fierce Beasts were still very important.
Now, with only about 40 days left, it was 200 days.
Maybe they needed to face Level 5 Fierce Beasts at the end, so having Level 4 Fierce Beast mounts might still be useful.
"No problem, I’ll tame four Fierce Beasts as soon as possible." Xu Yi smiled happily and then continued, "Besides that, I have another business deal. Are you interested?"
"What kind of business?" Jerry asked enthusiastically.
"Do you want to become Level 4 Mages? We can protect you in a Level 4 Fierce Beast Territory. Train there for a while, and you will become Level 4 Mages. It’ll be four Star Charts per person. I guarantee your safety in the Level 4 Fierce Beast Territory."
This was Xu Yi’s big deal.
They couldn’t reach Level 4 Mages on their own.
Especially since their team included Level 2 Mages, this temptation was even greater.
Here, strength is everything.
With strength, others will willingly follow you.
So, when they heard Xu Yi say this, they held their breath for a moment.
This was more tempting than other deals.
"Four is too expensive; I don’t have that many Star Charts," Li Kang frowned. Although he was tempted, the cost was too high. They could reach Level 4 Mages by training slowly.
Going with Xu Yi to the Level 4 Fierce Beast Territory was merely a time-saver. But Xu Yi couldn’t guarantee that they’d break through within ten days.
"Two charts; four Star Charts are too expensive, we can’t afford that," Ivica looked pitifully at Xu Yi. After all, she knew Lei Jie definitely wanted to go, and she didn’t want to miss the chance to become stronger. Eight Star Charts was just too much; she really didn’t want to.
"Two is impossible, too cheap. How about three? I can offer your subordinates a camp with plenty of food. Also, you need to pay me two Star Charts first." Xu Yi said as he looked at them.
That huge lake could indeed provide them with plenty of food; as long as they could hold it, they could store enough food for hundreds of days.
After a minute, Li Kang said immediately, "I agree, wait for me a moment while I go get the Star Charts."
"Can we do five for both of us?" Ivica still wanted to bargain a bit; saving one Star Chart was still saving money.
Xu Yi shook his head, refusing Ivica.
Why should I give you a discount?
Because you’re foreign, should I grovel?
My team isn’t submissive; not raising the price is generous enough. You want it cheaper?
Jerry chuckled, thinking Xu Yi was too clueless about romance.
If he were willing to give Ivica a discount, he could enjoy her company that night.
"I’ll go get the Star Charts, and forget about the other Fierce Beasts." Jerry couldn’t let Li Kang gain an advantage on his own; he had to scrape together three Star Charts.
If he hadn’t already secured that Fierce Beast, Jerry might have reconsidered.
A Level 4 Fierce Beast isn’t as dependable as upgrading himself to Level 4.
"We don’t want the Fierce Beasts either," said Ivica with a bit of resentment, before turning to get the Star Charts.
Less than ten minutes later, Li Kang and the others returned, each giving Xu Yi two Star Charts.
"Alright, come with me, that camp is perfect for your team," Xu Yi happily collected the seven Star Charts. Now his team had twenty-five Star Charts, with four more coming when they upgraded to Level 4 Mages.
So, not only could everyone get a chart, but they’d also have some left for their mounts.
Like Lu Ke’s White Feather and Xu Yi’s Black Qilin.
Xu Yi’s Lightning already had one Star Chart, with its food stored inside.
With a few more deals like this, all their mounts could have a Star Chart.
Such a luxurious setup was only something Xu Yi’s small team could accomplish.
Everyone followed Xu Yi to the lakeside.
Seeing the huge lake, they almost felt duped.
After all, such a big lake would’ve been found soon enough.
But since they agreed to the deal, there was no turning back.
"This lake is full of fish; you can catch as many as you want," Xu Yi pointed at the lake before stepping into it.
Now with seven Star Charts, his Storage Space was empty, perfect for storing fish.
Lu Ke and Qin Fan joined Xu Yi, using Telekinesis to fish on the lake.
Seeing fish flying out of the lake, it taught Li Kang and his team a lesson: Telekinesis had such a use.
They attempted to walk on the lake but sank into the water after a few steps.
Without enough power, they couldn’t walk on water.
Half an hour later, Xu Yi and the others caught plenty of big fish.
After all, the fish were large and abundant.
"Alright, we can head to the Level 4 Fierce Beast Territory," Xu Yi said happily. With so many Star Charts, food was no longer an issue.
