All-out Tower Defense: My Card-Drawing Talent is a Bit Strange

Chapter 151 Xu Yu

Getting back to the main point, seeing the succubi still bowing to him, Yang Fei didn't make any extra movements, just nodded. Not knowing what to say, he simply told the succubi to go back and rest, while he led the succubus sisters back to the core cabin. After an earth-shattering battle, Yang Fei fell into a deep sleep once again.

Meanwhile, at a makeshift inn in the port of Qixiang Village's floating island, Xiao Yu was clinging to a young and beautiful woman. Since returning from that floating island, Xiao Yu had managed to go there and meet the current leader of the Fengqi Town Merchant Guild, the beautiful woman before him, Xu Yu.

"Sister Xu, could you please let me use the inter-town trading platform? I can pay the usage fee myself." Xiao Yu looked at Xu Yu with teary eyes, her voice almost pleading. This left Xu Yu, who was used to Xiao Yu's carefree personality, speechless. What's wrong with this little girl? She was only summoned once as a merchant by those people from another world, and this is how she is? It shouldn't be like this.

Moreover, no matter how Xu Yu asked, this girl wouldn't say what happened to that person from another world, nor how many slaves she sold. She just kept clamoring to see him after she came back, but even after seeing him, she still wouldn't say anything, only wanting to borrow the trading platform, which was a bit suspicious.

"I can trade across towns, but you must let me see the contents of your transaction, and I must be present during your transactions with others." Knowing that his inquiries were fruitless, Xu Yu changed his approach. This little girl was the joy of his merchant group, everyone's darling, and he couldn't let her be taken advantage of.

"This~" Xiao Yu's eyes darted around, knowing that Sister Xu had relented. If she tried a little harder, there might be a chance. As for showing her the details of the transaction, that wasn't out of the question. Anyway, there was nothing to keep secret about her transaction with the slave traders. As long as she didn't go with her to that big shot's sky island, it would be fine. Otherwise, the surprise she had prepared for her wouldn't be a surprise at all.

"If you don't let me see it, I won't lend it to you!" Xu Yu saw Xiao Yu hesitate and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up. He knew that the little girl was wavering, but he couldn't back down. He had to be firm in his tone.

"Well, alright!" Seeing that Xu Yu's face was serious and he had no intention of compromising any further, Xiao Yu knew that she couldn't push her luck any further, so she could only agree for now.

But this isn't so bad; it's something I expected. It's just a bit troublesome, but I still have to keep acting pitiful and unwilling, otherwise this older sister might easily see through my true thoughts.

"Sister Xu is a top merchant, the leader of a green-level merchant group that commands more than twenty void merchant ships. In addition, she has already reached the peak of martial arts at a young age. She must have a lot of tricks up her sleeve. I have to be careful."

Xiao Yu's mind raced as she calculated, forcibly controlling every movement to make herself appear unwilling without putting on an act.

"Hmph! Little girl, you're still too green as a businesswoman. Although I don't know what you did with those people from another world or what deals you made, I can still deduce some things from your dealings with your superiors. Besides, I know better than you how much money you have."

Xu Yu's face remained expressionless, but his inner calculations were no less sophisticated than Xiao Yu's. He calmly took out a compass-like object from his storage bag, handed it to Xiao Yu, and then found a chair to quietly watch Xiao Yu's next move.

Seeing Xu Yu sitting upright, clearly intending for her to operate directly on her behalf, Xiao Yu reluctantly continued, "Sister Xu, the first principle of a businessman is not to disclose his trading channels to anyone, especially his competitors. At least let me connect with my supplier first, and then you can supervise our transactions."

"Hmph! You disobedient little girl, you dare talk to me about business principles? I was the one who introduced you to your supplier, I'm more knowledgeable than you..."

"Get to know them, stop talking nonsense, and get it done quickly!"

Speaking of this, Xu Yu couldn't help but feel speechless. When he first introduced this little girl to the business, he introduced her to all sorts of merchants, some selling toys, some selling snacks, and even some selling hard currencies like grain and defense towers.

As a result, this young girl directly chose slavery as her entry-level commodity. I really don't know if this was her original intention. Why did she have to choose such an inhumane thing of all?

Although they are not selling humans, it is still inhumane and will not be of any benefit to one's future mental cultivation.

I tried to persuade her countless times, but she still chose this option. Even after that, when I and some other members of the merchant group tried to secretly change the product for her, she refused and made a huge fuss. I really don't know what to say about this girl!

"Sigh, blame it on why I said it back then. I knew she was just a little girl under ten years old, but I still spoke of the advantages and disadvantages of the slave trade out of my merchant instincts, and the result was—"

Watching Xiao Yu skillfully connect with those slave traders using the trading platform, Xu Yu felt a pang of self-reproach. He wished he could travel back in time and slap his past self. Why did your occupational hazard have to flare up now of all times? Wasn't that just plain stupid?

Soon, Xiao Yu contacted her superior and began ordering the items needed by that important person: "1 entry-level spirit, 10..."

One hundred non-ranked spirits, one hundred spirits at the Qi Sensing Realm, and as many ordinary spirits as you can get! Preferably with minor injuries, pretty, and well-behaved. Oh, and ideally, they should be from the same place as the previous batch!

Xiao Yu quickly placed the order and then quietly waited for the goods to be shipped to her. The quantity requirement for the elves was from that person.

The first requirement was for the item itself, and the subsequent requirements were added by myself. Although the important person didn't mention them, I had to bring them up myself in order to leave a good impression on that important person.

Needless to say, the injuries were minor. Last time I bought so many Pokémon, I didn't make this request, and quite a few of them died on the way. So it probably doesn't matter to me.

But if that important person happens to run into him, it won't be good. After all, I sold it to him. What if he gets angry about this and refuses to trade with me? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

The idea that they are prettier and more sensible is based on the deductions made by normal lords who buy elven slaves. Although these elven races are not human, they are unable to reproduce with humans.

But they were all stunning beauties, and usually served as the lord's personal maids to make a good impression. So it was necessary for me to help that important person screen out some troublemakers in advance, so that those ignorant people wouldn't upset him and then blame me.

As for why the elves had to come from the same place, it was actually out of Xiaoyu's own selfishness. Xiaoyu had heard the stories of these elves, and although she didn't empathize with them as a fellow creature, she felt a little sorry for their plight.

If these elves were with other lords, Xiaoyu couldn't imagine their fate, nor did she want to. In any case, the lords in this world, including those from other worlds, basically had little sense of responsibility towards such alien races; they bought them to serve as decorative vases that were good to look at but not to use.

But even if you're just a decorative figure, it depends on who you're with. With ordinary lords, those elves might truly be just decorative figures, but with that great figure, being his decorative figure is a noble one, with the potential for further advancement and even revenge!

Therefore, since he has established a connection with these elves and has indeed used them, he must do something to make amends. Otherwise, his path of cultivation will likely become increasingly turbulent.

Looking at the "goods" Xiao Yu had ordered, Xu Yu frowned slightly. "Why is this little girl buying so many slaves? Has she already sold them all? Did she really come to me this time just to restock?"

"That shouldn't be the case. I remember she bought over three hundred slaves before she left. Now she needs at least another hundred. Does she have enough confinement cards?" Xu Yu was full of doubts, but she didn't show it. She just watched silently to see what the little guy would do next.

Soon after, the trading platform responded, saying that it had prepared all the martial arts realm spirits that Xiaoyu needed. Without hesitation, Xiaoyu generously sent over her confinement card.

Soon, the message showed that the goods were packed and the transaction could continue. Xiao Yu nodded and used gold coins to trade for the imprisonment cards that were already full of her.

After using her true energy to examine the most precious rank-up and non-rank-up spirits and finding that they met her requirements, Xiao Yu could no longer control the corners of her mouth and revealed a slight smile behind Xu Yu's back.

Xu Yu was speechless. She didn't want to know what this girl was doing behind her back, but she actually managed to produce those cards that could imprison spirits at the martial arts realm. She knew very well how many of these things this girl had.

She remembered that before coming out, the little girl had already filled all the cards. Even if there were any damages on the way, they would only damage ordinary elves. For elves that have entered the martial arts realm, their lives are so tenacious. There shouldn't be so many empty spaces.

Then, something even more surprising happened to Xu Yu. Xiao Yu took out fifteen more cards that could imprison ordinary Pokémon and sent them to the other side. She remembered that each of these imprisonment cards could imprison hundreds of ordinary Pokémon, and they were all her possessions.

When Xiaoyu set off this time, she felt sorry for those Pokémon and only used three containers to hold the hundred or so ordinary Pokémon, not taking them all out. But this time, she managed to take them all out? That doesn't make sense, does it?

No, that's not right! That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that all those cards are empty! That means Xiaoyu has already sold all those elves? How is that possible? Even if those lords liked them, they wouldn't buy so many vases. This doesn't make sense!

After paying again to retrieve her imprisonment card, Xiao Yu didn't stop. Instead, she continued to place orders. Since she no longer had cards to imprison ordinary Pokémon, she bought cards along with them this time. She used all her money to exchange for five more imprisonment cards filled with ordinary Pokémon before reluctantly returning the trading platform to Xu Yu.

Xu Yu accepted it expressionlessly. He was about to ask a question, but he held back. The little girl had grown up, and he could no longer lecture her. Even if he did, she probably wouldn't listen. So, it was better to let nature take its course and let her experience the harsh realities of society.

Anyway, trading with those otherworldly lords would only result in losing some gold coins at most, and spending some gold coins would allow a little girl to see through those people, which is a good thing with acceptable consequences.

At five o'clock in the morning on May 7th, Yang Fei broke free from the succubus sisters' attack. After rubbing his eyes, Yang Fei went outside the cabin, took a deep breath of the morning air, stretched his tired back, and then officially began his lord's life for the day.

First, there's the daily card draw and jellyfish summoning. Because I've been staying on the Sky Island for the past two days and haven't returned to my home on Azure Star, some of my habits have started to change. There's even a precedent of almost forgetting to use summoning and card draws before, so I have to adapt as soon as possible.

Yang Fei's unique card-drawing talent grants him special items, and coupled with the need to train his direct soldiers, the first thing Yang Fei does every morning is to complete these two tasks, which has almost become an instinct for him.

There's not much to say about summoning tentacle monsters. As expected, Yang Fei's sky island gained two more tentacle jellyfish, bringing the total number of tentacle jellyfish to 19, which is considered a small team.

As for whether they can use the Elegy Tower to gain experience, Yang Fei asked the banshees yesterday and the answer was yes, but the experience would be given priority to the banshees guarding the Elegy Tower. The experience that the banshees could not absorb in a short time could be controlled by the banshees and distributed to these tentacle jellyfish.

Since the banshees themselves are only level 0 beasts, the experience they can withstand and absorb from a wave of monster attacks is very limited, so the experience given to the tentacle jellyfish will not be small.

Relieved, Yang Fei directly spent copper coins to exchange for 1100 gray magic cores. After the currency exchange function was unlocked, one gray magic core required 11 copper coins to exchange, which was similar to the exorbitant level of the Heavenly Dao Shop, but barely acceptable.

The 1100 gray magic cores cost Yang Fei 12100 copper coins, which is equivalent to 121 silver coins. The price was acceptable overall, so Yang Fei didn't hesitate and used all 1100 gray magic cores to summon 11 new tentacle jellyfish, allowing all the Elegy Towers to provide experience to the jellyfish and help them grow.

After completing this task, Yang Fei turned his attention to the daily card-drawing talent. Because this talent was quite unpredictable, and given the pleasant surprise it had given him yesterday, Yang Fei didn't have high expectations for it today. As long as it didn't...

It's fine as long as it's a negative effect.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Fei activated his daily card-drawing talent. A flash of white light appeared in Yang Fei's hand, and another blueprint appeared in front of him. Yang Fei was stunned, somewhat incredulous. Moreover, it seemed to be a blueprint he had seen before!
