Traveling Between Two Worlds: From Bread for Maids to Fantasy Overlord

The Qin Family Fortress was bustling with activity in the early morning. The trading post on the back mountain had become the heart of the fortress, and the cross-border trade agreement finalized by Huang Yiming and Qin Cang had officially become a regular practice. Temporary shelves were set up at the post, and refined salt, sugar, cloth, and Western medicine transported from the modern world were neatly arranged in categories: piles of white refined salt formed small mountains, brightly colored cloth fluttered in the wind, and Western medicine was neatly stacked in wooden boxes. Each item amazed the fortress residents.

Mountains of otherworldly gold, jade, spiritual herbs, and demon beast bones were piled up: the gold nuggets gleamed with a golden light, the raw jade was incredibly translucent, various spiritual herbs emitted a faint fragrance, and the demon beast bones were hard and heavy. Guards carried these treasures back and forth, their faces beaming with smiles, creating a bustling scene. Envoys from surrounding fortresses peeked out from outside the stronghold, their eyes filled with envy as they looked at the mountains of supplies, wishing they could have a share.

Qin Cang wore a brand-new brocade robe—made from modern fabric gifted by Huang Yiming, smooth and delicate, even more presentable than the robes of the sect elders. He grinned from ear to ear, spending all his time at the stronghold, meticulously inventorying supplies and checking accounts, even having his meals delivered to the base. In his eyes, Huang Yiming had exchanged these "ordinary items" for a vast amount of treasure; Qin Family Fort had gained an enormous advantage, its strength skyrocketing, and its stockpiles of grain, weapons, and medicine multiplied several times over. Hearing of Qin Family Fort's wealth, surrounding smaller forces flocked to them, offering gifts and seeking protection.

Qin Cang, dressed in a brand-new brocade robe made from modern fabric gifted by Huang Yiming, beamed from ear to ear. He spent every day at the stronghold, busy taking inventory of supplies and checking accounts. In his eyes, Huang Yiming had traded these "ordinary items" for a vast amount of treasure, giving Qin Family Fortress a tremendous advantage. Their strength had skyrocketed, and their stockpiles of grain, weapons, and medicines had multiplied several times over. Hearing of Qin Family Fortress's wealth, surrounding smaller forces flocked to them, offering gifts and seeking protection.

"Young Master Huang, this is this month's trade list. We've acquired another fifty catties of gold nuggets, twenty pieces of high-quality jade, and three large baskets of spirit herbs!" Qin Cang handed the list to Huang Yiming with a beaming smile, his tone full of admiration. "Thanks to you, Young Master, my Qin Family Fortress is now the leading force in the surrounding area, and we no longer have to suffer the wrath of bandits and small sects!"

Huang Yiming took the list, glanced at it, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. Qin Cang thought the Qin family had made a fortune, little did he know that these otherworldly "miscellaneous items" were priceless treasures in modern times, and the price difference he earned was a hundred or even a thousand times greater. Each time he traveled back and forth, his bank account balance would skyrocket, making him a hidden millionaire; "making a fortune every day" would be an understatement. This was the ultimate example of playing dumb to outsmart others—exchanging the lowest cost for the highest profit.

"You're too kind, Lord. It's just a mutually beneficial arrangement." Huang Yiming said calmly, casually putting away the list. With a thought, he stored all the treasures into his expanded storage space. The fifty-cubic-meter space still felt spacious enough to continue stockpiling.

Qin Hu, holding a large piece of monster meat and gnawing on it with grease dripping from his mouth, leaned over and said, "Brother Huang, now everyone around here calls you 'God of Wealth Huang.' They all say you have extraordinary abilities, and many girls want to marry you!" He chuckled and teased, causing Qin Yuling and Yang Xiu, who were standing nearby, to blush.

Qin Yuling now oversees military affairs within the fortress, managing the guards with remarkable efficiency and displaying remarkable poise. Upon hearing Qin Hu's words, she gave him a cold glare, yet couldn't hide the smile playing on her lips. Yang Xiu stood obediently beside Huang Yiming, head bowed and a slight smile, her eyes brimming with pride.

Huang Yiming shook his head helplessly, directing the guards to continue transporting supplies. At the same time, he used his newly unlocked spiritual plant identification function to filter out high-value spiritual herbs, intending to sell them to traditional Chinese medicine shops or collectors upon his next return to the modern world to earn more wealth. He also specifically selected a few low-grade cultivation herbs, planning to try cultivating them and break through to the mortal realm.

Outside the stronghold, envoys from smaller factions flocked to Huang Yiming, bringing generous gifts and respectfully requesting an audience, hoping to establish trade cooperation with Qin Family Fortress. Huang Yiming received them one by one, setting the rules: cooperation would only be with Qin Family Fortress, completely monopolizing trade between the two worlds and firmly holding the power of discourse in his own hands.
