Chapter 9 - Chat

[You have unlocked the following functions:]

[Chat]

[Auction]

"It came as expected, now I'll exchange my things at the Auction for resources."

Qin Tian had a total of four functions now.

[Attributes]

[Chat]

[Auction]

[Lord's Ranking]

In the Lord's Ranking, there was only the [Lord's Level Ranking]. He felt curious and wanted to see who caught up with him.

[1. Name: Lord [Hidden] ]

[Territory: Immortal Realm]

[Level: 15]

[Nothing follows..]

Qin Tian expected it. To be eligible to get onto the [Lord's Level Ranking], one must first be Level 10, and it is estimated that most of the Lords right now are between Level 3-6. He was a special case because he could upgrade his level through cultivating.

Qin Tian also noticed that he was now Level 15, or Foundation Building V. It seems that he received a lot of EXP when he slew the enemies using his ability. Qin Tian also glanced at the Soldiers, and they were now all Foundation Building I or Level 11, and Bai Qi was slightly ahead, being Foundation Building II. 

"Well, they have killed at least two thousand monsters even though they were all level 1, it wouldn't be surprising if they level up a few or more." Qin Tian nodded when he saw this.

Qin Tian felt curious and decided to open the [Chat] first and see what was going on with the other lords.

[SaltyGamer: Bruh! How the heck is Lord of the Immortal Realm level fifteen now?!]

[OttoHater54321: WTF! I'm still stuck at level 4, man]

[SaltyGamer: He's gotta be cheating!]

[TeemoFanboy: Bro, your mom's cheating!]

[SaltyGamer: Chill out, dude. And no, it was my dad who cheated.]

[TeemoFanboy: LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, your whole family's in shambles (doggo face with tears of joy)]

[SarcasticSally: LOL, his name says it all. You must have no family who loves you to name yourself as TeemoFanboy]

[WorldTyrant69: Seriously, how did Lord of the Immortal Realm snag that territory name?! My family's been gunning for naming our territory [Immortal] or anything closely related to it since the Global Lords began, dreaming of immortality. It was always restricted. And now, this dude just grabs it?]

[PixelPanda: Maybe he found a loophole?]

[AtomicBlaze: Are you crazy? A loophole? Do you think this is a game?]

[OttoHater54321: I bet he got some special hidden achievement we don't know about.]

[NoobMaster69: Guys, what's the secret to leveling up fast? I'm still level 1…]

[SaltyGamer: Git gud, NoobMaster.]

[TacticalTurtle: Why are y'all so salty?]

[TeemoFanboy: Yeah, let's focus on the real issue. Why does my goblin troop look like he wants to do me…]

[PixelPanda: LOL, that must be retribution.]

[SarcasticSally: Accept your fate as a Goblin Lord.]

[WorldTyrant69: This chat is wild. I still want that [Immortal] title, though.]

Qin Tian chuckled at the chaos unfolding in the chat. It was always amusing to see how people reacted to unexpected events. He was already the topic of [Chat]. In [Chat], you can choose to use your real name or territory name. Or, you can also set up a nickname so that others won't recognize you.

However, Qin Tian felt strange seeing the message sent by WorldTyrant69. Restricted? But he did it seamlessly without any problem.

'I may have some secrets to uncover,' Qin Tian mused. From reincarnating into this world, getting the Taboo Talent: Immortal, his familiarity with the Ziwei Emperor Palace, and now this. It felt as if he was just a chess piece.

"I need to become stronger to defeat all who will stand in my way." Qin Tian clenched his fists and said to himself.

Just then, the chat took another turn.

[TasteMyUnholySword7: Anyways, how many beasts did you guys kill in the Beast Siege event?]

[InvisibleDragoon: I managed to kill 1,000 1-star beasts this time, not bad.]

[ShiningDarkKnight: wtf?!]

[SaltyGamer: Awesome!]

[APinchofSalt: How did you do it? I only managed to kill 350 1-star beasts, and around 32 of my werewolf troops died.]

[InvisibleDragoon: My initial troops are Green Dragons. A fifty of my Green Dragons was enough. It was too ez for them.]

[PixelPanda: Oh wow, Green Dragons? Fancy.]

[TeemoFanboy: LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, must be nice having Green Dragons! (doggo face with tears of joy)]

[TacticalTurtle: Yeah, I'm here struggling with Turtle Orcs and this dude has Green Dragons.]

[InvisibleDragoon: Well, you know, not everyone can handle the power of Green Dragons. It takes a certain finesse, a je ne sais quoi.]

[ShiningDarkKnight: Bruh, did you just say 'je ne sais quoi'?]

[SarcasticSally: Oh great, now he's a dragon whisperer.]

[InvisibleDragoon: Laugh all you want, but it's true. You have to understand their needs, their dreams, their hopes...]

[SaltyGamer: Their hopes? Dude, they're dragons, not Disney princesses.]

[PixelPanda: Do they sing too? Do you have a dragon choir?]

[InvisibleDragoon: Hey, don't knock it till you try it. Dragon Ballads are a thing.]

Qin Tian looked silently at his outstanding record of 22,800 1-star beasts killed, and 12 2-star beasts. He thought to himself "I must be too OP…"

"It seems that ordinary Lords only face around 200 to 400 beasts, and some Lords with powerful talents face a thousand. Then using this as a reference, the so-called Noble Families must have more, maybe around 5 to 10 thousand, but not more than mine."

Qin Tian took one last look at the Chat before he left, smiling at the ridiculousness of it all. The world of Global Lords was vast and filled with opportunities, but moments like these reminded him to enjoy the journey, no matter how chaotic it got.

Online: 30,954,231

"So many people got their Lord Crystal destroyed on the first day of the Beast Siege event?"

If he remembered correctly, there were a total of 32 million people who participated with him. However, it had now dwindled down to 31 million. At least a million were eliminated and would become ordinary people from now on.

Or unless they were born from a rich family and could get their hands on a special item that could rebuild their Lord Crystal and allow them to participate again in the next Novice Trial.

This was the fate of this world. If you are born with strong parents who become Gods, you can also quickly become strong under their care. However, if you are born into an ordinary family, there is nothing you can do except grind.

But, there was also a second option for ordinary people looking for opportunities, and that was the military or the academy.

People who applied to the military would get their support and resources, allowing them to also become strong quickly, on the premise that they would be soldiers and fight on the frontlines against foreign races in Global Lords. 

If you also decided to join the academy, you were also required to support the academy once you became strong. Like Qin Tian's case, once he joins the Heavenly Immortal Academy, he would quickly become strong under their resources, but in exchange, he must do something for them. The academy was a place of learning. It was a haven for those with potential, but it also bound them to its cause.

Qin Tian knew that both paths had their merits and challenges. The military demanded loyalty and sacrifice, often throwing its soldiers into the most perilous battles. The academy, while offering vast resources and education, required a debt to be paid, often involving missions or quests that served the institution's interests.

There was no free lunch in the world. To become truly free, one must become strong first so that they could get the restraints off. Qin Tian clenched his fists. He would use every opportunity, every resource at his disposal to climb higher.

Qin Tian got out of his state of pondering and decided to do his main agenda, which was exchanging his meat.

He decided to check out the [Auction] and saw that everyone was selling resources such as wood, stone, and beast meat. He decided to buy everyone who was selling wood or stone in exchange for meat or spirit coins.

However, after 10 minutes had passed, Qin Tian quickly grew tired of repeating the same action again and again. He nicknamed himself [Immortality] and decided to list all the 1-star and 2-star beast meat that he got and set the conditions for exchanging them to be resources on a 1:1 ratio.

Unbeknownst to him, as soon as he listed the beast meat that he got, [Chat] suddenly exploded.

[TacticalTurtle: HOLY MOLY! Did you see that listing?]

[CyberKnight: Whoa, who's dumping all that beast meat on the market?]

[TeemoFanboy: WWWWWWWWWWW, it's raining meat, boys! (doggo face with tears of joy)]

[PixelPanda: I'm gonna get fat just looking at it.]

[TeemoFanboy: As if you're already not fat enough]

[SarcasticSally: Someone's been busy!]

[SaltyGamer: That amount... it has to be Lord of the Immortal Realm!]

[TasteMyUnholySword7: Dude, he's just flexin' on us now.]

[WorldTyrant69: This is insane. To have that much beast meat, he must've slain 5 digits of 1-star beasts or even 6 digits. In addition to that, he also must've slain 2 digits of 2-star beasts.]

[InvisibleDragoon: I wish I had his problems.]

Qin Tian couldn't help but smile at the sudden surge of activity. The chat was in a frenzy, and everyone was trying to grab a piece of the action. He knew that this would draw attention, but it was all part of his plan to establish his dominance early on.
