Global Farming: I Activated The Heavenly Market - Chapter 31

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Tianxiang’s eyebrows trembled slightly. He did not know how the elves of this world grew.

However, 100 elf years was equivalent to 10 human years. This was probably referring to their physical age, not their mental age. Since that was the case, it was not impossible for them to work on his farm.

As he thought about getting these little elves to help him, Li Tianxiang suddenly woke up and gently patted his face.

He had fallen. Truly, he had fallen to the level of a landlord in an instant. He was thinking about exploiting children.

Linné stared in bewilderment as Li Tianxiang slapped his face twice. Then, Linné asked a question.

“Is there anything wrong?”

“No, but can you accept my employment offer on their behalf?”

Li Tianxiang seamlessly changed the topic.

Linné nodded.

“In that case, everyone is to gather here tonight. I’ll bring everyone back to the farm.”

After discussing this matter, Linné happily ran back to inform the little elves.

Meanwhile, Walt looked thoughtful.

“Dear customer, are you from an outer region?”

“An outer region?”

This new term was of interest to Li Tianxiang.

Upon seeing the curious look on Li Tianxiang’s face, Walt was certain.

“Our world is connected to countless other worlds. Those other worlds are called the outer regions.”

Li Tianxiang was slightly startled. He thought of his own Heavenly Market System. Speaking of which, this Western Fantasy World should be an outer region in the Heavenly Market System.

Li Tianxiang nodded his head immediately, admitting that he came from an outside world.

Walt’s expression became very serious. He bowed to Li Tianxiang and said.

“If that’s the case, please don’t come back anytime soon after you leave.”

“Why?”

Upon seeing the serious expressions on Walt and Warren’s faces, Li Tianxiang couldn’t help but feel very curious.

“Apart from what I told you about the succubus priest, the most important thing is…”

Warren explained gravely.

“The reason why we know about the succubus priests is that many demons, who should have been in the Void Abyss, have come to this world. Thus, in response to this, we stopped the exploration team. Then, we asked them to head to the Void Abyss and find out why these demons appeared.”

“In the end, we discovered that almost all the demon tribes were preparing for war. The exploration team painstakingly sent a message.”

“The Lich King is going to invade this world.”

Li Tianxiang was dumbfounded. Then, he asked.

“Is this the Burning Crusade?”

In the end, Walt just looked at him with a confused expression, as if he didn’t understand the meaning of this short phrase. Meanwhile, after a moment of silence, Warren nodded.

“You’re right. According to the records, when the Lich King previously invaded the world, the ground seemed to be burning. To them, it was a Burning Crusade.”

Li Tianxiang cleared his throat and tried to cover up his embarrassment. After all, he had no way of explaining that he had mentioned this short phrase because of a game he had been playing for a long time.

“Cough, do you need my help then? I might be able to provide you with some supplies.”

Warren thought about it before taking out a palm-sized four-edged awl from his pocket and handing it to Li Tianxiang.

The moment he touched it, a system notification sounded.

[Heavenly Communication Crystal: The wielder can communicate across worlds.]

Li Tianxiang’s eyes lit up. This was good stuff. After all, what he was most worried about in the Heavenly Market was the situation at his farm.

After all, the Heavenly Market was only a subsidiary system of the farm. Furthermore, that farm was his.

If he could not complete the goal from the system within a year, it would not be as simple as losing gold coins.

Sure enough, Warren explained how to use this thing.

He said, “Since you have purchased so many slaves, your farm in the outer region must be quite large. In that case, food is a strategic resource in war. If possible, I would like to make this deal with you.”

Li Tianxiang was taken aback before questioning the system.

“Can the crops I grow be sold in the Heavenly Market System?”

[Yes.]

This simple word made Li Tianxiang excited. The reason was simple. He originally thought that the crops from his farm could only be exchanged for a relatively fixed amount of gold coins in the system. Furthermore, this amount of gold coins was very low.

Moreover, if he was able to trade with other worlds, since this world was about to enter a state of war, food would become a form of hard currency. Originally, one ton of crops could only be sold for one gold coin in the system. If the crops were now sold in the Western Fantasy World, he could probably sell one kilogram of crops for one gold coin.

Li Tianxiang began to realize the true function of the Heavenly Market System.

Other than obtaining power from various worlds, the greatest use of the system was probably related to a previously popular concept — the Planar Merchant.

This system would become a huge treasure vault. Li Tianxiang was slightly surprised. After all, he had only typed a few things into the chat window, but he had received huge benefits.

Could it be that his luck had finally turned for the better?

After asking the system, he found that if he had a close relationship with the current world, not only could he buy local products, but he could also sell items from other worlds and crops from his farm for a high price.

Most importantly, he did not need to transmigrate to this world. He only needed to make transactions in the system interface.

Li Tianxiang was ecstatic. Thus, he immediately agreed to Warren’s request to supply food in the future.

After bidding farewell to Warren and Walt, he picked up the completed narrow-necked flask from Edison’s Alchemy Workshop and quickly returned to the alchemy workshop of the Schariac family.

After an entire afternoon of hard work that involved crystallization and recrystallization, Li Tianxiang condensed a total of 25 earth crystals, as well as three Level-2 elemental crystals. Then, he returned to the slave market.

When he finally saw the 100-year-old elves that Linné had mentioned, he finally understood what Linné meant when he said that they were roughly equivalent to a 10-year-old human child.

Other than Linné, seven children who were about to reach Li Tianxiang’s waist hid behind him in fear.

This made Li Tianxiang feel extremely guilty about his future child exploitation.

Meanwhile, the bandits who had been previously subdued by him also squatted obediently in a corner of the slave market. Many of them even “consciously” put on their handcuffs and leg shackles.

Li Tianxiang had no choice but to step forward to declare his stand.

“Although we’re in the slave market now, as I’ve said before, I’m only hiring you to work at my farm. You don’t have to worry about your future. There’s no need for shackles either.”

“From today onwards, not only will you have enough for three meals, but you will also be provided with housing and various basic services as long as you work hard..”
