BXBX NOVEL Chapter 131 - 131: A Negotiation.
Yawn!
With a yawn, The Overlord Turtle woke up and stretched his limbs.
"This is a good place. The amount of pure spiritual energy here is good. If I could practice here for two years or so then I would have entered the transformation realm...hehe at that time I could finally return to the tribe…" The Overlord Turtle mumbled to himself without even realizing that there was someone besides him.
"Tsk tsk but I have to say that these brats have some good luck. They encountered the training ground of the Millennium sect and one with the Spirit Pool… This spirit Pool absorbed the spiritual energy of the surrounding area for almost a thousand years which resulted in the formation of High-Level spiritual Essence…." The overlord turtle continued to talk to himself. He looked at the purple water in the pool with a deep yearning in his eyes, If he could consume this spiritual essence then his cultivation would increase by leaps and bounds.
But he did not do so as this is someone else property…
"Anyway let\'s leave this spiritual essence for those brats. When they arrive at the Spirit realm they would need this and after one year I should enter the Transformation realm. At that time I can return to the tribe and in the tribe, there are plenty of spirit pools." Overlord Turtle shook his head and said to himself.
"But I am indeed taking advantage of them so to repay I need to do something… But what should I do?" Overlord tilted his head in confusion. He is not the kind of ungrateful turtle who takes advantage of others and gives nothing in return.
"How about you working for Taotie restaurant for ten years? That should suffice right?"
Just as he was wondering to himself, He heard a voice from behind which startled him.
He looked back and his face stiffened. Behind him was Robert who was standing there with his arms crossed as there was a big smile on his face.
"Well little brat, How long have you been here? And what do you mean?" The Overlord turtle has a trace of luck that Robert didn\'t hear in his previous talk but according to the suggestion, he said it\'s extremely unlikely.
"When I came here you were still sleeping." Robert showed a wide smile and said.
"...."
The Overlord Turtle was speechless after hearing this and knew that this brat has heard everything.
"So what do you want in return?" Since he knows there is no point in avoiding it.
"Oh, The spiritual energy around the Spirit pool is extremely important to you as it can increase your strength in a short time." Robert didn\'t answer him but said this.
"With the increase in strength you will have more self-protection ability and you can return to your home, right? So you must understand the preciousness of the Spirit Pool right?" Robert looked at Overlord Turtle and said in an extremely exaggerated expression.
Overlord Turtle became speechless after hearing him as his mouth twitched. This brat is purposely raising the bar by stating all the benefits…
"Not only that, by living under a Taotie restaurant you can eat a lot of delicious food daily. So you should understand the number of benefits you are getting, Right? So to repay it\'s not too much to help us for ten years right?" Robert listed a few more benefits and said his condition.
"Ten years? Why don\'t you say hundred years? I can\'t remain here for ten years. In this period I can enter the Transformation realm even without the help of a Spirit pool." Hearing the condition Overlord Turtle resolutely shook his head and disagreed.
"At most I can stay here for one year!" Overlord Turtle said his suggestion.
"Are you trying to fool me? In one year you would have maximized all the benefits and then you will pat up your ass and leave? How can there be such a good thing? Eight years! This is my limit!" Robert immediately ridiculed him after hearing his suggestion.
The Overlord Turtle felt a little guilty after hearing Robert, Yes he is taking advantage of these guys it is indeed ungrateful to leave after getting all the benefits.
But still, he was extremely unwilling to live here for eight years. After all, there are a lot of turtle cuties waiting for him at the tribe. In one year he can enter the Transformation realm fulfilling the agreement made with the tribe.
So he didn\'t have any intention to stay for longer than one year but if he doesn\'t then he would be deemed as an ungrateful turtle...
"Two years! I can stay here for two years! After that, I will leave. In addition, to repay you I will train your friends." The Overlord Turtle gritted his teeth and decided to be cruel and extended the timeline by one year.
"Training us is the original promise you made with Aunt Rosy and that\'s a separate agreement so don\'t try to bring it here. Eight years, You have to stay here for eight years. " Robert"s decision did not waver as he insisted on this condition.
"Is there no other choice?" The Overlord Turtle wanted to slap the crap out of this guy. He is so annoying! For god\'s sake this is a negotiation, At some point, you have to lower your bars too!
"There is a way!" Suddenly Robert thought of something and said.
"What?" The Overlord Turtle became energetic after hearing Robert. As long as he doesn\'t have to stay here for eight years then every condition is fine.
"Two years! You have to stay here for two years. In this period you have to speed up the growth of Grains, vegetables, and spiritual herbs every day. You have to teach us with the best of your abilities and you have to hunt some high-level beasts for us as nutrition." Robert was like an incarnation of a black businessman as one after another he stated many inhuman conditions.
"Eight years, was it?" The Overlord Turtle replied weakly. What is the difference between this and the slave contract? Am I your nanny to do all these things? And daily?
He would rather stay here for eight years…
....
After ten minutes Robert left the training ground with satisfaction. Besides him is a turtle with a black face.
The Overlord Turtle glared at Robert, In the end, he has to accept the slavery contract as he can\'t remain in this place for too long.
But he mentioned some conditions like he should get food every day and his powers cannot be abused.
After all, he didn\'t want to be deprived of his basic turtle rights…
Unlike the Overlord turtle who is extremely depressed, Robert was in an extremely good mood as he had such a strong bodyguard for two years. And an all-rounder bodyguard on that who can do anything!
He can be a gardener, farmer, teacher, and bodyguard… eh? This reminds me of a living legend of the P-universe… That guy was the same. He can be a plumber, doctor, delivery man…
"Oh! One more thing, what\'s with the trial ground? Earlier when I came here it was not functioning!" Thinking of this Robert remembered something and asked.
"I have stopped the supply of spiritual energy that\'s why it stopped functioning." The Overlord Turtle replied in a bitter tone.
"It would work right?" Robert looked at
Overlord Turtle and asked.
"Of Course, it would work." The Overlord Turtle rolled his eyes and replied in a bad mood.
"As long as it works." Robert breathed a sigh of relief. Then he raised another question, "Say, is there any way for those beasts with the lower talent to achieve high cultivation?"
He remembered the conversation with the members of the corn hunt tribe. He felt that\'s better to find a solution for it.
"Of course there is, Us Spiritual beasts mainly focus on the path of bloodline awakening, Although this path is good there are other options too which do not require much talent or bloodline level."
"After all, not every spiritual beast has the inheritance of strong spiritual beasts. Like ferocious beasts, They don\'t have strong bloodline inheritance but from that group, many strong individuals have emerged and joined the ranks of Spiritual beasts."
"In conclusion, the path of Bloodline inheritance is not absolute as there are other options too like cultivating strong physical bodies, training the soul, Or just pure compression of Spiritual energy."
"These are some methods but they focus in the extreme so if you try it then your powers would not be balanced as you will lack in one way or another. This is the reason why most of the spiritual beasts take the oath of bloodline inheritance.." The Overlord Turtle said the information he knew without any reservations, Since he has agreed to help another party then he must do it with his full capability and it\'s just answering some questions.
