Live Strong in the Wilderness
Chapter 434: 4 Star Charts
Xu Yi pinched his fingers and then said, "Star Chart, I only need the Star Chart now."
On the ground, there were some supplies like food, weapons, salt, night vision devices. These held no attraction for Xu Yi at all.
Because he already had those things. The ones he didn’t have, he didn’t want.
"Star Chart?"
Jerry thought to himself, how bold of you.
But he didn’t say it aloud.
After all, he wanted a mount too.
After hesitating for a while, Li Kang asked, "How many Fierce Beasts can you tame for one Star Chart?"
Xu Yi held up one hand and said, "Five."
Li Kang shook his head and said, "Too few, the mount can only be used for 60 days, but the Star Chart lasts more than 500 days."
Xu Yi smiled slightly and then grinned, "But if you can’t survive, the Star Chart will end up belonging to someone else or be reclaimed by the Spirit Race. But with five Fierce Beasts, you’ll have five loyal guards. Night watch will be much easier with them." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Ivica naturally knew the benefits of having a Fierce Beast mount, she thought Xu Yi and his team dared to move in the jungle with so few people because they had these beasts.
"Five is too few; a Star Chart has 0.5 cubic of space, which can store many supplies, this is more important to us and concerns the next hundred days." As she spoke, Ivica flipped her hair and continued, "If you can do twenty, then I can accept it. After all, we have to capture the Fierce Beasts ourselves."
"Eight, no more. Although I can tame Fierce Beasts, it’s not an easy task. Look at us, 12 people and only 7 beasts." Xu Yi couldn’t possibly agree, taming 20 Fierce Beasts might take over ten days, would they still be willing to trade the Star Chart then?
So, Xu Yi felt it couldn’t be too many.
Having too many would also devalue himself.
After all, this isn’t a one-time deal; in the next hundred days, they could still trade again.
But at that time, it might not be level 2 Fierce Beasts, it might be level 4 or even 5.
Li Kang said helplessly, "Fifteen."
Xu Yi appeared calm, "Six."
"Fourteen," Li Kang continued bargaining.
"Eight," Xu Yi was unwilling to back down, his bottom line was actually six, but considering there were only 60 days, he added two more.
He really couldn’t add more than that.
After all, taming eight Fierce Beasts would still take three to five days.
Li Kang glanced at Xu Yi and suddenly asked, "How long will it take to tame eight?"
"Three to five days if quick, seven to eight if slow. It doesn’t depend on me, but rather how easily the Fierce Beasts are tamed." Xu Yi offered an explanation.
Li Kang extended his hand to Xu Yi and loudly said, "Alright, deal, I want eight, I’ll send the Fierce Beasts over before dark, and you’ll get the Star Chart the day after they’re tamed."
"Alright."
Xu Yi hadn’t expected Li Kang to stop bargaining, although there was no use in it.
After all, the initiative and pricing were both in Xu Yi’s hands, the other side could either accept or refuse.
For Xu Yi, there wasn’t any loss.
All he would give was his skill.
And using Spiritual Power and skill was a form of training in itself.
Ivica also didn’t expect Li Kang not to haggle, her estimate was ten. Anyway, the Star Charts were left by challengers who died in the team, not theirs.
Xu Yi was right, the role of a Fierce Beast mount is significant, it’s important for a team. They are not just mounts, but also warriors, and they can help locate more Fierce Beasts.
After all, letting beasts find beasts is easier than finding them oneself.
Ivica said to Xu Yi, "Xu Yi, can’t you speed it up a bit. If it takes you nine days to tame Li Kang’s beasts, our riding time will only be fifty days, which would devalue it."
Xu Yi nodded, admitting this.
"If you don’t want to wait, six per Star Chart, I can trade you right now."
"If you are willing to wait, I can tame nine for you."
Li Kang gave Xu Yi a look but said nothing.
Waiting a few more days would still be better than only getting six, right?
"Seven," Ivica gritted her teeth, five was just too few.
"Wouldn’t Li Kang disagree then?" Xu Yi looked at Li Kang, since he was the one who had first discussed it with him. If Li Kang agreed, Xu Yi wouldn’t mind.
Li Kang was silent for a while, and then said, "How about this, still eight, as soon as one is tamed, it’s given to us, and we decide the distribution. We can give you the Star Chart now, what do you think?"
Ivica nodded forcefully, gratefully looked at Li Kang, and immediately said, "Okay, this works."
Jerry also thought Li Kang’s suggestion was good, that way everyone could get a beast in turns. He thought if Li Kang’s and Ivica’s groups had beasts, he must have them too.
Otherwise, what would his team members think?
After all, he had extra Star Charts on hand too.
Xu Yi naturally had no objections to this suggestion.
Three Star Charts, 1.5 cubic of space, if he went back for equipment, he could still bring quite a bit.
After all, taming 24 Fierce Beasts wasn’t particularly difficult for Xu Yi.
Jerry stood up and decisively said, "Then it’s settled, I’ll go back now and have some Fierce Beasts sent over to you."
There were three Fierce Beasts that hadn’t been killed at his camp, which could be sent to Xu Yi for taming. The remaining five would be caught later and then sent to Xu Yi.
At this time, Li Kang pointed at the Fierce Beast Black Mink and asked, "How about exchanging it for a Star Chart, is that acceptable?"
Xu Yi was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes, but it can’t be tamed. Currently, I can’t tame level 3 Fierce Beasts."
Li Kang nodded and said, "I guessed as much."
As to what Li Kang was going to do with the Fierce Beast Black Mink, Xu Yi didn’t ask.
Exchanging one level 3 Brain Crystal for a Star Chart seemed worth it to Xu Yi.
He directly gave the Fierce Beast Black Mink to Li Kang and received another Star Chart. Naturally, the Star Chart was empty, which also indicated they had prepared to trade with Xu Yi using Star Charts.
After completing the trade, Li Kang and Ivica immediately left, preparing to return and send the Fierce Beasts for Xu Yi to tame.
Once they left, Xu Yi finally looked around at his team members.
