Void Overlord: Ten Thousand Races Struggle For Hegemony

The third floor of the Overlord's mansion.

Ye Fei lay on his comfortable bed, checking the information about his territory. Today, the territory expanded by nearly a thousand square meters, while his Origin Points were almost depleted.

"Border Expansion and Devour Talent have not been upgraded, Void Crossbow has not been upgraded either, and the Void Fishing Rod has not been fully upgraded. The two promotions are only at Rank Two ordinary level, and it will cost quite a few Origin Points to reach Perfect Grade," Ye Fei thought.

"But now the territory can increase by more than 900 square meters a day. If both Territory Talent and Void Crossbow are upgraded to Rank Two Perfect Grade, the territory can increase by about 2.8 hectares a day. If the Void Fishing Rod is also upgraded and the fishing team is efficient, it could reach 3 hectares a day. The total area of the territory is currently only 1.3 hectares."

Thinking about this, Ye Fei's heart started beating faster, and he became excited.

"But how many Origin Points will it cost?" Ye Fei calculated the Origin Points again.

"Promoting Territory Talent to Rank Two requires 100 Origin Points, reaching Perfect Grade requires another 180 points, so one talent is 280 points, two talents are 560 points. Upgrading one fishing rod or Void Crossbow to Rank Two Perfect Grade also costs nearly 280 points. In total, there are six items to upgrade, even after deducting the already spent amount, it will still be close to 1500 points, plus the Origin Points consumed by Territory Talent."

"In total... it's about 2100 points, 2100 points..." Ye Fei's mood became heavier as he calculated the amount of Origin Points he needed to spend.

"Damn it, everyone is saving a little bit every day, and here I am starting to spend thousands. Not to mention the miscellaneous expenses for Territory Talent and Void Crossbow and Fishing Rod upgrades. How long do I have to save without eating or drinking to have enough?"

Ye Fei calculated his daily income of Origin Points again, fluctuating around 60 to 70 points.

"In other words, it will take at least a month to complete the upgrades."

"A month, it's neither long nor short."

Ye Fei suddenly felt that he had been too eager for quick results recently, always wanting to solve everything in one or two days.

"Ah!"

He pressed his throbbing head and sighed.

"It seems that the increasing number of deaths in the channel has made me impatient."

"I can't let my emotions control me. Nothing can be achieved overnight. A tall building starts from the ground. Stick to the plan, and there's no need to rush."

Ye Fei reflected on himself, adjusted his mindset, and stopped worrying. He went to sleep.

The next morning, Ye Fei spent 15 Origin Points to recruit a high-level talent named Li Letian, who specialized in the Void Market.

Leading Li Letian to the Void Market, Ye Fei granted him secondary access to the Void Mall.

"How is it, Letian? How do you feel?" Ye Fei asked.

Li Letian felt the feedback from the Void Market and answered after a moment.

"Lord Overlord, I have received all the information. I am familiar with all the functions of the Void Market."

Li Letian explained, "The entire market revolves around the Void Gate. I can buy and sell normally on the Void Trading Platform without any restrictions. However, I have no information about the Void Mall you mentioned, so I cannot use it."

Upon hearing Li Letian's explanation, Ye Fei understood that secondary access meant access to the Trading Platform, while the Void Mall could only be used by the Overlord himself.

"But it's enough. The items in the mall are fixed and can be purchased with Origin Points. There's no need to keep an eye on it all the time. The Trading Platform is different, it has high liquidity, and only professionals can maximize its benefits."

After understanding the rules of the Void Market, Ye Fei let Li Letian familiarize himself with it first, and then operate it himself.

"Letian, I'll leave the Void Market to you. I have already told Zhou Heng that you can manage the Rank One items in the territory's warehouse. Use the market to enhance the strength of the territory. I look forward to your performance."

"I will do my best to bring rich returns to the territory. You can rest assured, Lord Overlord."

Li Letian is full of confidence and has a good understanding of the virtual market. He realizes that there is a lot of potential for manipulation inside, and as long as he utilizes his professional knowledge well, he will definitely receive a considerable return.

"Well, you go ahead and busy yourself. You can stay on the second floor later, and everything is arranged for you, including meals at Xiao Anzhi's canteen." Ye Fei finished speaking and walked out of the market.

"Yes, I will see Overlord off." Li Letian respectfully saluted and watched Ye Fei leave, then began his own work, looking at the mysterious void vortex.

Outside, Ye Fei looked at the people in the territory busy with their own tasks and couldn't help but sigh, "These people summoned from the mall are really good. They are loyal and capable, but a bit expensive. They all require Origin Points, but other than that, everything is perfect."

The territory was running normally, so Ye Fei returned to the Overlord Mansion to start cultivating. He moved the Spirit Gathering Grass to the courtyard of the Overlord Mansion. The Rank One Perfect Grade Spirit Gathering Grass still had a good effect, and planting it in the small courtyard made the whole place feel much more spiritual.

On the other side, the newly appointed warehouse manager looked at the delivery order in his hand and quickly found Zhou Heng.

"Manager Zhou, this is Li Letian's delivery order. The quantity is huge. Take a look and see if we should approve it."

Zhou Heng looked at the long list on the order and thought for a moment.

"Overlord has already arranged for Rank One supplies, so this new market manager can use them. Currently, these supplies are not being used, so it won't have much impact."

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng instructed, "Overlord has given the order, so he can use these supplies. Go and call Li Lei and the others. Let's deliver them together."

Zhou Heng and his group spent a lot of time delivering the supplies Li Letian needed to the market. Li Letian, who was busy in the market, quickly came out to greet them when he saw them.

"Manager Zhou, you personally delivered them. I'm really sorry to trouble you."

"Manager Li, you're being too polite. The territory is currently short on manpower, and everyone needs to stay busy. Overlord himself is always busy with these things, let alone me."

After Zhou Heng handed over the supplies, he let the others go back to work first and had a separate conversation with Li Letian.

"Manager Li, as you know, the territory is currently lacking in supplies. You've requested quite a lot of things, and if I lose out on this, I won't be able to turn things around. Can you give me some insight into whether the market transactions are stable or if there's a risk of loss?" Zhou Heng asked Li Letian with some doubt.

Seeing Zhou Heng's skeptical expression, Li Letian smiled and explained, "Manager Zhou, I understand your concerns. But when it comes to market transactions, there is no stability or certainty of winning or losing. However, I can guarantee that I will definitely make a profit in the near future, and it will be a substantial one."

Zhou Heng listened to Li Letian's contradictory explanation and was somewhat confused. Li Letian smiled again and said, "Manager Zhou, I studied the Trading Platform this morning and found that there are no rules or order inside. It's chaotic, and there are a huge number of ordinary supplies. There are plenty of opportunities to seize. As long as I invest some time and effort, I can rely on these supplies to gain several times or even dozens of times the returns."

"Really?" Zhou Heng stood up upon hearing this.

"Of course it's true. Just watch my performance. You'll know the results in a few days."

Seeing Li Letian's confidence, Zhou Heng didn't ask too many questions and bid farewell before leaving.

Three days later, Ye Fei accumulated enough Origin Points to upgrade both the [Concealment] and [Border Expansion] talents to Rank Two. When he was ready to start his daily cultivation, Zhou Heng suddenly arrived at the Overlord Mansion.

"Overlord, I have good news to report." Zhou Heng hurriedly said when he saw Ye Fei.

"What's the rush? Sit down and tell me slowly." Ye Fei called out to Zhou Heng, asking him to calm down.

"That manager Li you summoned is amazing. In just three days, he increased the territory's supplies by five times and also exchanged for many good things. Here's the list, please have a look."

"Hmm? Five times? Are you sure?" Ye Fei was also surprised by Zhou Heng's words. He knew there was money to be made in the market, after all, Overlord was not an idle person. The Trading Platform was chaotic, but with ability and time, there was definitely money to be made.

However, he didn't expect the profits to be so substantial. As he looked at the list in his hand, Ye Fei's eyes lit up more and more.

"Where is Li Letian?" Ye Fei put down the list after reading it and asked.

"He's still in the market. He eats and drinks there and never leaves, but it's all provided by Xiao Anzhi." Zhou Heng replied.

"He's a workaholic." Ye Fei thought to himself. The subordinates he summoned were all hardworking, and they didn't even ask for wages. Now he was using the pills and other resources obtained through Wang Qing to reward and cultivate them, treating it as their salary.

"They're all hard workers."

But Ye Fei was happy about it. The more subordinates like this, the better. He could never have too many.
