Florida Man's General Store in Cultivation World

Chapter 200 – Income Disparity! Ohio Man Earned 100 Million by Selling Information to Cartel Lord While Florida Man Genetic-Engineered Cabbage DNA to Create Ultimate Pet Food and Earned Nothing.

On the artificial star, a bright meadow was situated in the middle of a cyberpunk city. In the middle of the grass field was the castle of a realm master, aka an overlord.

Sitting on the throne was a 50-meter-tall black werewolf. While waiting for a certain visitor, he leaned on his armrest and closed his eyes.

In the throne room, 5,000 werewolves of various sizes stood in formation. Everybody was fully equipped with cyan plate armor from head to toe. Their red aura revealed their cultivation base of celestial kings and emperors. A few of them were true immortals.

As for their leader, the black werewolf, his strength transcended the immortals, deities, and sages. Just like Leo, he was also an entity fate crystal's owner.

Overlord Milo ignored the anxious looks of his minions. He discovered the approaching human and a werewolf's aura. Noticing their arrival, Overlord Milo opened his eyes.

The brown muscular man was still in his human form. He waltzed to the throne room with Milo's messenger in tow. However, the poor messenger still had a gun pointing in his mouth.

Milo smirked at the guest.

"Human Ohio Man. I see that you've accepted my invitation."

Ohio Man snorted. "Pay up, or else. I want 100 million years of lifespan."

The messenger widened his eyes and refuted, "You said 10 million earlier!"

"You didn't pay upfront, but you asked me to pick up the pay here. Obviously, the price is different."

"YOU BASTARD NU'EARTHE-"

BANG

Ohio Man pulled the trigger. The head of the messenger exploded, including his soul.

The immortals in the throne room bore fangs and barked at Ohio Man. They pulled their weapons and were about to jump him.

Overlord Milo snapped his fingers.

RUMBLE

The werewolf immortals suddenly sensed a great pressure falling on them. They fell to their knees and sweated profusely.

Overlord Milo warned them.

"As I always warned you – Ohio Man is an entity like me. He only needs to wiggle his fingers and you lots will die without knowing what hit you. Stand down!"

Everybody lowered their heads. Even if they disagreed with their overlord, nobody had enough strength to resist the pressure.

Overlord Milo snapped his fingers again, and the pressure was lifted. He looked at the brown man next.

"Ohio Man. Is 100 million years of lifespan the final price of your allegiance?"

"No. This price is for a piece of information."

"That's quite expensive for a piece of information."

"You asked me to betray my kin. That is a reasonable price."

"Fair enough."

Overlord Milo deeply inhaled. Then, a large system screen appeared in front of him. He pressed a few buttons, ticking the names of all immortals in the throne room.

The overlord uttered and warned his men.

"Your troops retreated first when our army clashed with Overlord Nyan Meo's Army. As a punishment for deserting, I'll be taking half of your lifespan. Consider yourself lucky that you won't be trialed!"

5,000 werewolves gritted their teeth and looked at the flow of life force escaping from their bodies. A flow of white lukewarm air moved toward Overlord Milo.

The average lifespan of these soldiers was 30,000 years as their cultivation base was high. Thus, everybody lost about 15,000 YOL.

The life force of 5,000 werewolves accumulated into millions. Instantly, Overlord Milo secured over 75 million YOL to pay Ohio Man.

The brown man frowned as he found Milo's method disgusting. However, he didn't voice his dissatisfaction as it was none of his business.

Meanwhile, Milo rechecked his YOL balance and found that he still lacked 20 million YOL to pay Ohio Man. He glanced at the men and smirked.

"Second punishment, how dare you lose to the Cathulhu?! The DEZNUTS senators clearly ordered us to produce results, but you couldn't even raze one of their planets! The price of this humiliation will be your death!"

The werewolves in blue armor widened their eyes. They pleaded with their lord.

"CHIEF! PLEASE DON'T! WE FOUGHT WITH ALL OUR MIGHT! PLEASE FORGIVE US!"

"WE DID EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER, CHIEF! WE HAD TO RETREAT TO SAVE OUR INJURED COMRADES!"

"DON'T KILL US, CHIEF!"

Milo snorted, "Silence! DIE!"

"NOOOOOO!!"

Again, Milo snapped his fingers. This time, all troops in the throne room collapsed and dissipated into dust. Their soul returned to the karma river while their life force gathered inside the overlord.

Ohio Man closed his eyes. This wasn't Overlord Milo's first time, and Ohio Man had seen it before. Still, it left a bad taste in his mouth.

Overlord Milo sneered at the lone human.

"What? Do you pity them?"

Ohio Man smacked his lips, "No loyal soldiers deserve this. They fought for you. You just mistreated them. How are you going to explain to their families?"

"Nothing. I'll just kill them all and take their lifespan."

"…"

Ohio Man glared at the overlord. His killing intent exploded while his cold expression remained the same. However, he chose not to antagonize the werewolf entity.

He changed the subject.

"What do you want to know? Also, pay up, and I'll answer."

"Good."

Overlord Milo smirked and waved his finger. A system screen appeared in front of the brown man, showing a drafted contract between an employer and a freelancer.

The freelancer silently bit his fingertip and signed the contract with his blood. The system screen then produced golden chains, which entered both Milo's and Ohio Man's bodies.

Milo didn't scam him. He operated his system and transferred 100 million YOL to Ohio Man. Afterward, he asked the main question.

"Give me the coordinates of Florida Man's home planet."

"…"

The brown man narrowed his eyes. Then, he closed them. After a minute of long pause, he opened his eyes and summoned his system screen. He typed a few words into his system and pressed the [Send] button.

DING

"The coordinate of Florida Man's "HOME PLANET" is there. I complete the contract."

Milo glanced at the coordinate. Seeing the number and texts, he grinned.

"I need to confirm the information first. The contract hasn't been completed yet."

"I don't think so."

Ohio Man smirked and flickered his finger at the golden chain in front of him. The transparent chain dispersed into nothingness, and their systems prompted them with a notification message.

<The transaction has been completed.>

Milo squinted his brow, but he didn't protest. After all, the golden chain contract was made by the system. It automatically verified the actions of both parties that no one cheated on the others. In addition, according to the contract, Ohio Man had to comply with Milo's request without fail, and he could not lie to him.

Since the contract chains dispersed automatically, Milo believed that Ohio Man spoke the truth.

"I guess you didn't play tricks."

"As I said. I gave you the coordinates of Florida Man's "HOME PLANET" as you requested. I'll be taking my leave now."

"Alright. You may go. I'll ask for your service again… Mister Seer."

"…"

Ohio Man turned around and left the castle. As he left, he snorted and mocked Milo.

"Dumbass. You think I'll harm my countryman? If he's from Florida, he's a family! Nobody messes with my family!"

He returned to his bar, but he didn't resume his business.

Ohio Man rubbed his ears. A second later, they lengthened to the side, transforming into elven ears. His face changed, and his black long hair grew. While the transformation went on, he packed his belongings and opened his system menu. Then, he navigated to a quick travel tab. The brown man then chose a planet, which he nicknamed "WIFE" as his destination.

DING

<Quick Travel requires a million years of lifespan to use, and you can only go to a place where you already visited. Will you really spend ONE MILLION years of lifespan to use this feature?>

"Yes."

DING

<Affirmative. Teleporting to WIFE.>

WHOOSH

Just like that, Ohio Man teleported away from this realm after scamming the local overlord.

When Ohio Man reopened his eyes, he found himself standing in a forest with gigantic tall trees.

In front of him was a humble cabin. A female elf carrying a tone-skinned infant in her arms sat in the garden, singing for her baby.

"Daddy's home, Ester?"

The elf mom turned around. Upon seeing the brown handsome elf with long straight hair touching his back, she smiled at him.

"Welcome home, Simba."

She was Ohio Man's wife. The infant in her arms was also his son.

.

After Ohio Man had left, Overlord Milo made his way to a portal altar behind the throne room. He stood at the center of the altar and operated his system.

DING

<Please input the coordination value of your destination.>

Milo copied and pasted the value that Ohio Man had told him.

DING

<A new planet has been discovered.>

A new system screen showed the image of a frozen world. The atmosphere was full of white ash while the terrain was mostly ash snow.

Milo laughed. He glanced at the cooldown time of his portal.

.

Interdimensional Portal (Level 50)

Number of Travelers (20/20)

Size of Travelers (20/20)

Gate Duration (10/20)

Cooldown Time (0/20)

.

As Milo never upgraded the cooldown time level, this facility could only be used once every year. Thus, he always kept this as an emergency.

But in this case, Leo had a bounty on his head. Moreover, the entity fate crystal in Leo's hands was too precious to ignore. Milo needed to get his hands on it before his colleagues or the elves started making their moves.

"Open it! Bring me to that planet!"

RUMBLE

A dimensional gate appeared. Milo laughed and crossed the realms.

After crossing to the other side, he looked around. Although the local temperature was almost at absolute zero, he had no issue enduring the freezing wind.

GWAAAAAA

While looking around, a lizard-like monster emerged from the ground and stood on two hind legs. The Godzilla breathed an ice laser beam toward him.

Milo smirked at the monster.

"PATHETIC! A deity without a vessel?! You are nothing but food here!"

The beam hit Milo's chest, but it didn't do anything. He punched the Godzilla in the face.

BOOM

The monster's head exploded upon impact. Milo cackled and mocked the monster.

"This is what you get for messing with an entity! Even sages have to bow their heads to me!"

After killing the monster, Milo began searching for Leo and his domain.

"Now, where is Florida Man and his vessels?"

He wasn't aware yet that he was on the wrong planet.

.

.

"ACHOOOO!! ACHOOO!!"

Meanwhile, Leo couldn't stop sneezing. He stood on a farm, watching the newly planted seed growing into a sprout.

It was the newly evolved seed that Leo got from the lab. He waited to see what kind of vegetable he would get from it.

PLOP

It didn't take long for the Floridian Yin Cabbage to mature. Instead of growing up into either a black or green cabbage, it shone in rainbow color.

Leo extracted it. But instead of bringing it to an alchemy workshop, he waved his hand and called over a newly summoned golem.

The farmer rushed to aid Leo. It looked at the rainbow cabbage and waited for Leo's instruction.

.

Farmer Golem (Level 8) (Evolution Material Required)

Rarity: Common

Strength: Quasi-Immortal

Specialty: Agricultural Knowledge

.

Leo gave it to the golem and ordered him.

"Can you multiply this or improve the quality? I don't want to keep remaking the seeds."

The farmer nodded. It then turned toward the greenhouse on top of the shopping mall and jumped. Instantly, it arrived in front of the greenhouse.

Leo followed the golem to see how it would do with the product. Then, he was stunned.

The golem cut the cabbage into pieces. Then, he planted them in the greenhouse. In 10 minutes, they matured. The golem harvested the cabbages and collected them in a basket.

Leo counted the new batch of yin cabbages. It multiplied from one head into 30 heads in 10 minutes.

"I'll be damned."

The farmer didn't stop there. It cut five cabbages and replanted them. Then, the golem turned around and gave Leo a thumbs-up.

It seemed that Leo didn't have to worry about running out of food for a while. However, there was a pressing issue.

"ACHOOOO!!"

For some reason, Leo couldn't stop sneezing.
