Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 906 Old Deng, we'll see!
Bai Pu cursed inwardly, "Blood Boiling Karamango is no good!"
However, on the surface, Bai Pu smiled and bowed: "My lord, yesterday I was just a slave. That necklace should have ended up in the pocket of my master, Lord Karamango."

"I am not begging."

Gallius's calm smile was enough to captivate countless young women.

He slowly said, "I'm just very curious. My wife comes from a prestigious family and received strict ladylike education from a young age; she's always been very reserved. How could she possibly take a liking to a gladiator..."

Bai Pu quickly realized what was happening.

As Gallius said, it is very likely that she is the most conservatively dressed lady in the deep V purple dress from the last "birdwatching group"!

Although her attire was conservative (not revealing most of her breasts), it was a very elegant purple, and she even had a deep V-neck that showed off her cleavage... It seems that Lady Gallius is quite the repressed flirt.

Bai Pu sensed a faint, shimmering green light above Gallius's head.

However, considering the unrestrained lifestyle of the imperial nobles and socialites in the Dark Tide world... there are probably many nobles with green hats on their heads, and it may even be a common practice.

Gallius then said, "Steelheart, although your current strength is average, it seems that there is a very powerful potential hidden within you, just waiting for the moment to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly."

Bai Pu sensed that there was still a chance for things to turn around.

Could it be that Gallius really doesn't care about the 10000 silver coins his wife gave him?
Seizing the opportunity to strike was Bai Pu's instinct as an Awakened. He immediately said, "I don't know how to proceed next... I hope Lord Gallius can give me some guidance."

"Hehe, if it's just a casual suggestion, it's fine out of respect for Boss Karamango. But such casual advice will be of almost no help to you."

Gallius said slowly, "I have a notebook from my youth on how I practiced spear throwing, which I believe will be helpful to you in your current situation. However, why should I give you that notebook?"

Bai Pu looked at Blood Boiling Karamango.

—Old Deng, if you have any conscience left, hurry up and say something to help!
Karaman and Bai Pu met eyes, and Karaman saw the hope in Bai Pu's eyes.

He chuckled and said, “Lord Gallius, your combat notes might be too difficult for Steelheart. However, I do have some combat experience. Why don’t you give me your notes, and I’ll pass them on to Steelheart?”

Gallius laughed heartily, waved his hand, and walked back to the cabin.

Karamango didn't try to stop him, but just shrugged helplessly at Bai Pu:

“Steelheart, you’ve seen it too. It’s not that I don’t want to help, but you’re not qualified to obtain Lord Gallius’s notes! You’re a restricted citizen now, and in terms of status, you’re not even as good as a legionary soldier, only slightly better than a slave.”

"If you can become a gold medal gladiator and a gladiator noble, it will be easy to seek guidance from Lord Gallius."

I don't believe you for a second; you're a wicked old man.

Bai Pu cursed inwardly.

Karamanco was wary of the silver-medal gladiators becoming too powerful and threatening his own position.

Gallius was naturally wary of a top gladiator noble like Karamango becoming too powerful and threatening his own position!
Therefore, it was impossible for Gallius to pass on his combat notes to Karamango, or to any of Karamango's gladiators.

Just now, Karamango seemed to be helping Bai Pu get the notes, but in reality, he was reminding Gallius.

—Steelheart is one of mine. You really want to hand over your combat notes to my people? If you do, don't blame me for stealing your skills.

Bai Pu, on the other hand, was calm and composed, seemingly convinced by Karamango. "Okay, I will do my best to advance to the gold medal."

"Hey~ that's more like it!"

Karamango was still very concerned about Bai Pu's mental state, his cash cow. He put his arm around Bai Pu's shoulder and said with a smile, "Steel Heart, you're a born champion, whether in the arena or in bed. In the 'New Iron City' of the Lost Continent, there are many migrating families, noble ladies and socialites whose husbands are developing in other places, leaving them alone in their empty rooms... If you want, you can be a groom every day without any problem."

Bai Pu's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "I really like the two female bronze-level gladiators from the Rose Arena. Could I buy them back?"

"Are they the two women who cooperated with you in yesterday's match to kill the Naga leader?"

Karamango said with some reluctance, "After yesterday's battle, those two women have shown their talent. I'm afraid the owner of the Rose Arena won't be willing to release them, and the price will be very high."

Bai Pu was utterly speechless at the stingy Gladiator boss.

It seems that the reward for that B-rank silver side quest is completely gone.

From "a reasonable wish" to "a verbal promise to seek guidance from a true expert".

Karamango did introduce Bai Pu to the "real strongman"—the legion commander Gallius, but he already knew that Gallius's wife had given Bai Pu a necklace worth ten thousand silver coins, and was certain that Gallius harbored hostility towards Bai Pu.

After Gallius's advice failed, Bai Pu wanted to take advantage of Karamango's desire to compensate him and bring the two witches over to reunite.

But once again he underestimated Gallius’s stinginess!
The initial good impression that the bone and tooth necklace (imitated) had given Bai Pu had completely vanished.

"Lord Karamango, you have misunderstood."

Bai Pu was seething with anger, but on the surface he was even more humble and polite, and said with a smile, "I just asked you to inquire about the price... Once I make money in the New World, I will pay for them."

"Oh, I see."

Karamango laughed, “Steelheart, I have to remind you that as a silver gladiator, you can have your own legal property, but your legal property is limited to the salary I pay you!”
"As for the magic crystals you dug up in the New World with the help of slave laborers, and even the magical beasts you killed and the treasures you plundered... legally, they all have to be handed over to me."

"Of course, if you do well, I'll give you a bonus! Maybe one day you can use your bonus to buy those two women, hahaha!"

Bai Pu sneered inwardly, but nodded in agreement on the surface.

What Bai Pu valued most in his promotion to Silver Gladiator was the right to "limited freedom of action within the legal framework of the Empire."

For the Awakened, the Empire's legal framework is extremely important. To leave this framework means becoming a runaway slave, unable to use the Empire's war machine for protection, and instead becoming a target for its pursuit!

Bai Pu didn't want to become a runaway slave, and in the perilous New World, he also didn't want to lose the foundation he had built up at the Crimson Blood Arena, so for the time being, he could only feign compliance with Karamango.

Once I have the strength to challenge a level 13 leader, once I connect with higher-ranking figures in the empire… Bai Pu clenched his fist.

Old Deng, we'll see!
P.S.: The following word count is free.

I recommend a new book, "My Talent Panel Can Add Points," which also has an Earth psionic background. It's already over 100,000 words long and is currently high on the new book charts. It's more successful than Old Asia! ≧≦
