Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Bao Bingqing and Ye Ge stood together in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the entire Dark City.

The dark city standing in the vast black wilderness before us is enough to make one marvel beyond measure.

Although the city isn't large in terms of area alone—this Dark City was originally a lost, low-level dark race town in this desolate land—what's astonishing is the speed at which its technology has advanced, a speed that can only be described as divine! From any perspective, this place is undoubtedly a miracle!

Even today, when Bao Bingqing looks down at this city, he still occasionally has a sense of unreality.

"Eight years ago, when you first proposed building a hub city in this place that could connect all races, I thought it was somewhat unlikely..."

Bao Bingqing couldn't help but sigh.

Having built his own fortune in the wilderness, he knew all too well how difficult it was to establish a city in such a barren place.

Night Song said, "Yes, it cost us a lot of money to establish ourselves here."

Even though it's just a small town, the initial investment exceeded 300 billion Imperial Coins!

This 300 billion is basically Ye Ge's own money; Ye Ge didn't move much of the Ye family's assets.

Ye Ge took the many treasures he obtained from system check-ins and missions and exchanged them for a considerable amount of money at the Myriad Races Merchant Guild, which enabled him to accumulate such a sum of start-up capital.

Bao Bingqing had no idea where Ye Ge got so many pink and red quality treasures, but when Ye Ge said he was going to sell them all, he was initially surprised and reluctant.

That was a red-quality treasure! Even the imperial family doesn't have many of those! Although Ye Ge said he wouldn't need most of these things in the short term, selling them so casually... it's really...

Ye Ge knew very well that even the best treasure would be worthless if it stayed in a warehouse collecting dust for ten years.

Eight years ago, when Ye Ge sold his two top-grade Spirit Gathering Pills for the first time, he knew very well what he needed to do in the future.

Then there's the issue of transportation. Even with money, it's difficult to transport various building materials to such a remote area, and a large number of construction workers are also needed.

However, this actually made things easier. Ye Ge quickly found a group of demonic creatures from the demon realm to do his hard labor, saving him the labor costs...

After the initial establishment of Dark City, and through several years of development and business dealings with various races, it has now long since earned back the initial 300 billion, including interest.

With the extra money, Night Song continued to invest in infrastructure, expanding the territory of Dark City and completely transforming it into a super city that combines extraordinary power with future technology.

“However, sir, I still don’t quite understand.” Bao Bingqing turned his head: “How did you know that there was a ‘Fountain of Life’ hidden in this place that could solve the problem of demonic energy pollution in this area?”

Ye Ge smiled faintly and did not answer his question.

As a top-tier veteran player of the game, he had memorized all the map resource points of "Ten Thousand Races Map" in his previous life.

The decision to build Dark City in this neutral zone among all races was naturally made after careful consideration.

"knock knock"

A beautiful female dark elf guard with long hair appeared at the door, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Boss, the press conference is about to start, and the representatives of all races have arrived at the venue and are waiting."

Bao Bingqing turned his head and glanced at him: "I understand."

Ye Ge smiled and said, "Go ahead, don't keep our guests waiting too long."

"Yes, sir." Bao Bingqing nodded slightly, then turned and left.

The female dark elf guard couldn't help but glance at Nightsong in the room again.

Ye Ge stood in front of the French windows, hands behind her back, leaving him with only a handsome, tall figure.

'Could this be the powerful figure behind the boss?'

'The true master of Dark City?'

The dark elf guard was slightly taken aback.

She seems much younger than I expected...

Bao Bingqing and the Dark Elf guards both left.

Ye Ge stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, continuing to admire the scenery outside.

Bai Xueling sat quietly on the sofa in the room, watching Ye Ge's back.

Over the past eight years, she has personally witnessed how Ye Ge has worked her way up.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, her master in this life was indeed a remarkable, powerful, and charismatic figure...

Bai Xueling once wondered if she, the former Spirit Demon Empress, were placed in Ye Ge's position, could she do better than Ye Ge?

The final answer we envisioned was... obviously not.

Of course, I'm not idolizing him! I don't see him as an idol at all! I just think... I think he's worthy of being my master in this life! At least I'm not so resistant to it now...

Bai Xueling pouted.

Who would have thought that she, a once-powerful empress of the Spirit Demon Clan in her past life, would be reduced to a subservient servant to her master in this reborn life...

"Lord Ye Ge!"

A cheerful and melodious female voice rang out from behind.

Ye Ge slowly turned around and saw a purple-haired girl standing smiling at the door.

The girl was clearly delighted to see Ye Ge arrive, but her naturally quiet and dignified personality and elegant demeanor made her appear somewhat reserved. Only her tone and eyes betrayed her joy: "You've come?"

"Ququ," Ye Ge said with a handsome smile on his fair and handsome face, "long time no see."

"Hmm...long time no see."

You've become even more beautiful.

"No way, you're just good at saying nice things!"

Although the girl said this, her tone clearly revealed her pleasure.

"How have you been lately?" Ye Ge tilted her head. "Your mischievous little sister hasn't caused you any trouble, has she?"

"No, she's always been very well-behaved, and she's been teaching me how to cultivate lately."

The girl gave a bitter smile: "But my talent is too weak compared to hers, no matter how I cultivate, I haven't made much progress..."
