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

As dawn broke, Huang Yiming activated his teleportation power with Qin Yuling. Enveloped in a pale blue light, the two vanished from Qin Family Fortress in an instant. When they reappeared, they were standing on a street in a modern city, bathed in the warm and bright morning sunlight, a stark contrast to the grim atmosphere of the fantasy world.

"Is this your world?" Qin Yuling looked around curiously. Skyscrapers stood side by side, cars shuttled back and forth, and GG signs lined the streets. Her eyes were full of surprise, and she couldn't help but reach out to touch the street lamp beside her. "These things are so strange, what are they made of?"

Huang Yiming smiled and gently took her hand: "These are all modern things. After we finish our business, I'll take you on a proper tour. Now, let's go to the jewelry market and the traditional Chinese medicine market to convert the treasures of the fantasy world into cash. With money, we can stockpile heavy weapons to deal with the crises from the Black Stone Sect and the Demon Sect."

The two took a taxi to the jewelry market. Huang Yiming took out several pieces of jadeite rough from his storage space. As soon as they entered the market, they were surrounded by many vendors. The rough stones were translucent and had an understated spiritual quality. They shone faintly in the sunlight and were far superior to the top-grade jadeite on the market. The vendors' eyes lit up, and they all offered to buy them.

"Sir, I'll offer one million per stone!" "I'll offer one million five hundred thousand!" "Two million! Sir, I'll offer two million; please sell me these rough stones!"

Huang Yiming's expression remained calm as he didn't immediately agree—he knew the value of these raw stones far exceeded two million. He spoke calmly, "Gentlemen, these raw stones are all top-grade, brimming with spiritual energy. If carved into ornaments, their value could increase several times over. I don't sell individual stones. Interested merchants are welcome to establish long-term partnerships with me; I guarantee a stable and abundant supply."

The merchants exchanged glances, some hesitant, others already tempted. Just then, a familiar voice rang out: "Mr. Huang, long time no see." Su Qingyue, dressed in a white dress, walked slowly and gracefully, followed by two assistants. She looked calmly at Huang Yiming, "I didn't expect Mr. Huang to actually come to the jewelry market to cash out."

Huang Yiming's heart stirred slightly; he hadn't expected to meet Su Qingyue here. "Miss Su, what a coincidence," he said with a slight nod. "I do want to convert these raw stones into cash, but I haven't found a suitable partner yet."

Su Qingyue raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on Qin Yuling. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "This young lady must be Mr. Huang's friend, right? Such an outstanding temperament is quite rare." Qin Yuling nodded slightly, saying nothing more—she could sense that Su Qingyue's gaze towards Huang Yiming carried an unusual emotion.

"If Miss Su is interested, we can talk about cooperation." Huang Yiming got straight to the point. "I have a stable supply of top-quality jadeite and medicinal herbs. Miss Su comes from a family of jewelers and must have sufficient sales channels. It would be a win-win situation for us."

Su Qingyue smiled, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes: "Mr. Huang is quite direct. I was just worried about not having a good source of goods. Since Mr. Huang is so sincere, let's talk. However, I have one condition—your goods must be supplied to the Su Group first, and the price must be 30% lower than the market price."

Huang Yiming quickly calculated in his mind—even if the price was 30% lower, he could still make a fortune. Moreover, with the help of the Su Group's channels, he could quickly cash out and accumulate wealth, so why not? "Okay, I agree." He nodded in agreement. "However, I also have a request. I would appreciate it if Miss Su could help me open up channels for purchasing heavy weapons. I need a large number of guns and explosives."

A hint of doubt flashed in Su Qingyue's eyes, but she didn't ask further. She simply nodded, "No problem. As long as we cooperate smoothly, I can handle it for you. But Mr. Huang, what do you need these heavy weapons for?"

"For self-defense." Huang Yiming didn't tell the truth. "I travel to remote areas all year round. It's not very safe there. I need these weapons to protect myself and the people around me." Su Qingyue didn't press further, but simply nodded: "Okay, I understand. I'll give you an answer in three days."

After exchanging contact information, Su Qingyue turned and left. Huang Yiming took Qin Yuling to the Chinese herbal medicine market, bringing out millennium-old Ganoderma lucidum, century-old ginseng, and other spiritual herbs from the fantasy world, instantly attracting fierce competition from numerous herbal medicine merchants. In just one day, Huang Yiming cashed out tens of millions. Holding this huge sum of money, his eyes were resolute—it was time to establish his own company.

The next morning, Huang Yiming went to the Industry and Commerce Bureau with the relevant documents and registered "Yiming Trading Company," whose business scope covered jewelry, Chinese medicinal herbs, and daily necessities, specializing in the resale of rare materials from the fantasy world. While processing the registration, the staff looked at his young face and couldn't help but exclaim curiously, "Young man, it's impressive that you have so much capital at such a young age."

Huang Yiming smiled, offering no further explanation, only saying, "I was lucky and made some money." After registering the company, he rented an entire floor of an office building in the city center, decorating it in a simple yet elegant style. He also hired several recent college graduates—they were hardworking, honest, and not overly scheming, making them perfect for managing the company's affairs.

The company had barely opened when it encountered suppression from its competitors. Wang Hu, the owner of the neighboring "Hongyuan Jewelry and Medicinal Herbs Store," upon learning of Huang Yiming's company opening, specially brought his men to the entrance of Yiming Trading Company. Arms crossed, he sneered, "Huang Yiming, you're just a poor kid with no connections or channels, and you dare to do jewelry and medicinal herbs business? I advise you to close down as soon as possible, lest you lose everything and embarrass yourself!"

Several employees turned pale with fright and looked at Huang Yiming with worry in their eyes. Huang Yiming, however, remained unfazed, staring coldly at Wang Hu: "Whether I can run a successful business or not is none of your business. Stop meddling in other people's affairs."

"Oh, still dare to be stubborn?" Wang Hu sneered, waving his hand to have his men bring out a stack of flyers, which were then distributed on the spot. "Everyone, come and see! This Huang Yiming is just a poor kid; all the jewelry and medicinal herbs he has are fake. He's just a con artist, don't fall for it!"

Passersby stopped and pointed at Huang Yiming's company. Many potential clients hesitated and left. The employees were frantic, pacing back and forth, saying to Huang Yiming, "Mr. Huang, what do we do now? Wang Hu is deliberately slandering us. If this continues, our company will go out of business!"

Huang Yiming patted his employee on the shoulder, his tone firm: "Don't panic. He wants to suppress me, but he'd better think twice before he gets the chance. Just wait and see the show. In less than three days, I'll make him pay the price." While reassuring his employee, he took out his phone and sent a message to Su Qingyue: "Ms. Su, could you please arrange a tasting event for me as soon as possible? I want everyone to know that all my supplies are genuine."

Qin Yuling walked to Huang Yiming's side, gently took his hand, and said softly, "Yiming, don't work too hard. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I'll be with you." Huang Yiming looked into her gentle eyes, his heart warmed, and he nodded, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll handle this soon." He knew that Wang Hu must have powerful backers, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant. However, he didn't have time to investigate further—the most urgent task was to hold a successful appraisal meeting, completely shatter Wang Hu's rumors, and solidify his position. He then sent a message to Su Qingyue, informing her that Wang Hu might cause trouble at the appraisal meeting and asking her to arrange more security. At the same time, he instructed Qin Yuling to stay at the company to look after the supplies, while he took an employee to the warehouse to retrieve more top-grade jade and medicinal herbs, ensuring that the appraisal meeting would amaze everyone, completely crush Wang Hu's arrogance, and lay a solid financial foundation for stockpiling heavy weapons and dealing with the crises from the Black Stone Sect and the Demon Sect.

Huang Yiming had just sent the message when his phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number. A familiar, cold voice came from the other end—it was Liu Cang, the Foundation Establishment Elder of the Black Stone Sect: "Huang Yiming, I've found you. Your company will soon be reduced to ashes. Prepare to die!"
