Everyone Became Lords: I Became A Base-Building Fanatic - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: All Items Are Sold Out

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Night fell. Fang Ping sat in the living room of the Shadow Dragon Villa. After having a delicious barbecue dinner, he lay on the sofa comfortably. He opened the Trading Area in the World Announcement panel and browsed through the information of various Overlords hawking their wares.

“Everyone seeing this, you can’t miss it. You’ll find the lowest prices here. For one unit of meat or clean water, you can obtain 20 units of wood and ten units of stone.”

“Don’t miss out on the opportunity to trade for a good profit!”

“From the south to the north, whether you need it or not, come and take a look!

“High-quality iron ore, coal mines, and gem mines are on sale. One unit of meat or clean water can be exchanged for any five units of minerals.”

“Brothers passing by, take note. You can obtain meat in exchange for resources!”

“You can obtain one unit of meat by exchanging 50 units of any material. There are only 200 units. First come, first served!”

After Fang Ping quickly scanned the entire Trading Area, he roughly understood the situation of the living creatures in the Trading Area.

In the entire Trading Area, food and water were the most popular goods that made up the first tier.

Meanwhile, the second tier consisted of rare minerals such as Spirit Stones, refined iron, or processed minerals.

The third tier consisted of the most worthless sand, wood, and stone. These were materials that could be found everywhere and could be mined with a little ability.

Food and water, which others thought were scarce, were not a problem for Fang Ping at all.

After all, they were undead Skeleton Soldiers. They would not be tired and did not need to eat. As for himself, a unit of meat was enough to feed him for two to three days.

In addition, the number of Skeleton Soldiers would increase every day. Moreover, they would take the built traps and go out to hunt. With this snowball movement, the amount of food would increase in the future. There would not be a lack of food.

Therefore, Fang Ping simply placed more than half of the meat in the food storage warehouse and clean water in his shop within the Trading Area. After setting the exchange conditions that were three to four times higher than the market rate, he sent an advertisement in the message board of the Trading Area with a sinister smile.

“Big brothers and big sisters, little sisters and little brothers, lolis and boys, pay attention.

“My food store has opened. Although I supply a lot of goods every day, I definitely can’t withstand the crazy rush of customers.”

“Therefore, it’s first come, first served. I’ll stop after everything sells out.”

After Fang Ping sent this message, the message board of the Trading Area, which was originally bustling with activity, actually stopped for a few seconds.

Then, the entire message board exploded. It was filled with all kinds of doubts, questions, and surprise toward Fang Ping.

“Is it true?”

“Is there really a lot of meat and water in your shop?”

“Is this person stupid? It hasn’t even been two days, and he’s already saying that he can provide a large amount of meat for everyone to trade. In that case, after you pass the seven-day novice period, won’t you directly ascend to the heavens and become a god?”

“That’s right, that’s right. Don’t you have any bottom line when it comes to bragging and advertising now?”

“Can you say whatever you want and brag as much as you want?”

“Wow, his shop really has a lot of meat and clean water. I’ve already exchanged for ten units of meat and clean water.

“P.S.: I’ve attached a picture to prove my innocence.”

Everyone looked at the attached picture. It was a blanket on the ground in a desert. There was a pile of meat on it and ten five-liter buckets of water on the ground.

Therefore, all the doubts and questions disappeared. The entire message board was cleared, and a large number of new Overlords rushed into Fang Ping’s shop.

When they saw the amount of meat and clean water on sale in Fang Ping’s shop, there was an uproar.

“Which god is this? He actually has so much food and water on the second day. How powerful is he?”

“God, please guide me. I have all kinds of knowledge. As long as you can protect me, I will do anything you want.”

“The user above is a dead demon. Please don’t be fooled.”

“For a god to be able to obtain so much food and water, what level is his army?”

“According to the classification of the six types of soldiers in the Myriad Races Battlefield — Cannon Fodder, Extraordinary, Elite, King, Epic, and Mythical — this God should at least be an Epic. They might even be the strongest Mythical Overlord.”

“Wow, doesn’t that mean that he’s miles ahead of us? This God will definitely be able to easily pass the first test of the Myriad Races Battlefield. I’m really envious of this God’s good luck. He simply started off with an advantage…”

In the face of the frenzied private messages from the new Overlords who were discussing what level of soldiers he had, Fang Ping only smiled and did not respond to them. Even his private messages were set such that only the people he added as friends could send him messages.

Since most of these new Overlords could not even eat at this stage, they could forget about an extremely rare resource like Spirit Stones.

The only resources he requested for exchange were wood, stone, refined iron, and some other construction materials. He did not mention those very rare mineral resources.

After an exhausting day, Fang Ping checked the time on his watch and saw that it was already past 10pm. He took the opportunity to stretch his back and close the virtual interface while yawning. He no longer paid attention to those people who were constantly harassing him. Instead, he put on earmuffs and covered his eyes before slowly falling asleep.

After Fang Ping fell asleep, the message board of his shop in the Trading Area did not stop even for a moment. However, when the new Overlords saw the required materials for exchange that Fang Ping had indicated, they were instantly silent.

[Meat]

[Stock: 989]

[Materials required for exchange: Two units in exchange for any of the following.]

[Two hundred units of wood, 200 units of stone, 200 units of iron ore, 100 units of refined iron, 100 units of mithril, or 100 units of refined coal.]

[Water]

[Stock: 989]

[Materials required for exchange: Two units in exchange for any of the following.]

[Two hundred units of wood, 200 units of stone, 200 units of iron ore, 100 units of refined iron, 100 units of mithril, or 100 units of refined coal.]

By the time everyone reacted, the message board was in an uproar. It was filled with dissatisfaction and reprimands aimed at Fang Ping.

“This is almost three times the market rate. How can I feel at ease with such a high exchange price!

“Aren’t you worried about making a fortune out of your compatriots!?”

“That’s right. If it’s only double the market rate, we can still accept it with gritted teeth. However, if it’s three or four times the market rate, how can we afford it?!”

“Who is this new Overlord!?”

“In the future, don’t expose your coordinates. Otherwise, after I pass the first test and the territory war starts, I will definitely find your location and let you know what it means to use virtue to convince people.”

However, even though they kept condemning Fang Ping’s actions on the message board, they were not slow in exchanging resources at all.

From the moment the first person started to buy the items until the shop showed that all the items were sold out, only a minute had passed.

Those who did not manage to snatch it began to lurk in Fang Ping’s shop. While waiting for Fang Ping to put up items for trade again, they urged the soldiers under their command to mine all the resources inside and outside their territory. It was best to prepare for the next purchase.

On the other hand, the people who managed to snatch the resources were very satisfied. After bringing their troops for a meal, they began to mine the resources in their territory crazily, hoping that the next time Fang Ping’s shop sold food and water, they would have more materials to buy food and water.
