Although some were snatching up business and trading food at market prices, Xiao Mo was not worried about his inflated food prices going unsold. How many lords had transmigrated? At least billions! Even if it was the second day and some lords had summoned their second wave of troops, significantly increasing their strength, the food they gathered was still a drop in the bucket. There were definitely many lords and their subordinates still starving, so they would naturally come to trade! Moreover, some troops would consume more as their strength increased. As troop numbers and appetites grew, the current food supply would remain insufficient. After all, at times like these, lords feared their troops going hungry the most. Starving troops would lead to a decrease in loyalty. Once loyalty dropped below 50 points, it would result in betrayal and even backlash from the troops. That would truly be a case of losing the wife and soldiers. It was better to honestly hoard food now; it would merely double the resources needed for trade! This was precisely why, in the World Chat channel, some lords verbally declared they would boycott Xiao Mo, yet were still rapidly trading on the Myriad Races Trading Platform.
With the information from the World Chat channel, Xiao Mo immediately dismissed the idea of trading for clothes. At this time, many people were likely waiting for him to be in need of something, hoping to extort a hefty price from him. He wasn't going out anyway, and wrapped in a tiger skin, he wasn't cold. If he really needed to go out, he would figure something out then. Lounging in a chair in the attic, basking in the gentle sunlight, Xiao Mo felt a sense of peace in this world for the first time. His Immortal-Demon squad was busy around the territory, hunting more and more magical beasts. Xiao Mo, having nothing to do, appeared quite leisurely. He was probably the most carefree lord at the moment. How formidable was that Fairy Jin Xuan? Her subordinates were Endless Battle Puppets, and from what could be seen, they belonged to the top tier among all lords. Yet, even she had to honestly lead her battle puppets on hunts. On the edge of a dark forest, tens of thousands of miles away from the Endless Abyss region, an extremely beautiful mixed-race woman with flowing golden hair, a tall and graceful figure, and a stunning face was riding a battle puppet. Three battle puppets in front had just finished dealing with several magical beasts. The beautiful woman finally got a moment to catch her breath and quickly commanded the battle puppets to defend, allowing herself a brief rest. As soon as she opened the trading interface, a trade posted by someone named Qian Mo was at the very top. Upon seeing the almost inhuman exchange price, the beauty rolled her eyes. "You shortsighted fellow, are you blocking your future development path for this little bit of immediate gain?" "Never mind! For the sake of being among the top lords, I, this lady, will advise you." She muttered to herself and opened her friend message interface. The next moment, this exquisite beauty was stomping her feet among the battle puppets. "This damned scoundrel! He actually rejected my friend request!" That's right! This long-legged beauty was precisely the Fairy Jin Xuan who had been highly praised by many in the World Chat channel. Looking at her appearance, she certainly lived up to the title of "Fairy." In the past two days, her friend requests had never been rejected. After all, she was a lord with top-tier troops and a bright future. As long as no unforeseen circumstances arose, she was destined to be among the elite on the Primordial Continent. Moreover, she was a beauty, wasn't she? How many lords were scrambling to get on her good side? And now, she had been rejected by this shameless scoundrel with a merchant's greedy face. "Hmm... no! He must not have noticed my message!" "Yes! It must be like this!" After her high chest heaved violently for a moment, Jin Xuan slowly calmed down and began to console herself. It had to be said, her brand of Versailles-esque optimism was quite healing. As for her original intention for adding him as a friend, it was not far from what Xiao Mo had guessed. Despite being a girl, she harbored great ambitions. The reason she traded food at market price was not because she was particularly generous or kind. In such a world, so-called kindness and a saintly heart were truly the paths to ruin. Besides, she understood the principle that if one doesn't act for oneself, heaven and earth will destroy them. She did this to quickly build cohesion and recognition among the lords. Only then, when the Myriad Races Hegemony began, would she have enough connections to win over many lords and protect her own territory. The higher her cohesion and recognition, the more lords would be willing to join her, and the stronger her territory would become. In essence, her idea was quite similar to Xiao Mo's. However, the difference was... Xiao Mo wanted to rely on his own efforts and development, utilizing all advantages that could foster his growth. Jin Xuan, on the other hand, wanted to use some harmless little tricks to unite everyone and thus become powerful. After all, it cost nothing but a bit of food to gain the favor of many lords, so why not? She noticed Xiao Mo the first time he traded food. Therefore, she knew he possessed top-tier troops, just like her. Thus, she naturally wanted to befriend him. Even if she couldn't win him over, at least forming an alliance would be good. Unfortunately, Xiao Mo had rejected her. "Never mind! There will be opportunities in the future!" "For now, let's see if I can find an elite magical beast!" "If I'm lucky, I might even get a soul crystal!" Jin Xuan didn't dwell on it further. She looked up into the depths of the dense forest and commanded her battle puppets to advance slowly. Xiao Mo, naturally, was unaware of all this. At this moment, Xiao Mo was lurking in the World Chat channel, gathering crucial information from the lords' banter. This continent of Primordial Origin was indeed vast, many times larger than Earth. Most importantly, as the initial prompt in his mind had stated, this was a world where myriad races coexisted! All the lords, when transmigrating to this continent, were actually on the fringes. They were mostly in six major regions such as the Endless Abyss, the Dark Forest, and the Extreme Cold Snowfield. These were located in the east, west, south, and the southeast and southwest directions. However, these regions, according to the local inhabitants, were considered six forbidden zones! The empires that originally existed on this continent seemed incredibly powerful, deterring the magical beasts from these six forbidden zones. This demonstrated the immense strength of the original empires on the continent. The lords were also fortunate not to have transmigrated inland, otherwise, they might have perished in an instant! Xiao Mo was also filled with emotion upon hearing this news. Based on the information gathered so far, it was a long and arduous journey to dominate the entire Primordial Continent!
