After all everyone has the same time in the day, so a resource like this can allow Lords to take multiple steps further than their peers.
''Let's go!''
Tang Gao glanced at the pitiful amount. This is the distribution from the Council to all Orphans. A starting fund if you will.
Soon Tang Gao headed out of the Orphanage and into the city. And soon made it to his target this time. The Dong Chamber of Commerce. It was a huge multiple story office with a lot of lords walking in and out.
''Greetings, what are you looking for today.''
When Tang Gao walked through the door, a ringing sound came in his ear, it was an automatic helper.
''Mortal Population.''
''Of course! Your Room number is 1077, please enter in the next 10 minutes or we will distribute it to the next customer.''
Tang Gao walked through the main hall, and soon came to a large elevator. Before long he was at his assigned room. A room the size of a gymnasium!
''What is it you wish to purchase?''
The voice came again, and this time an ipad came from the ground.
Tang Gao scanned it quickly and selected the first option.
'1,000 Random Mortals for 1 Divine Source.'
''I want to purchase these!''
''The Population Orbs will be sent shortly.''
Such a quick process made Tang Gao slightly stunned. But when he thought about it, it made sense. Mortal Population is one of the least valuable things for Lords.
A majority of these Random Mortals were captured by a Lord in an invasion, they are difficult to subdue so they simply seal them in an Orb and sell them off.
Some battle-oriented Lords can make thousands of Divine Sources per invasion just by using this method!
''Thank you.''
Soon Tang Gao received four orbs, and after cracking them in his God's World, 5,000 random people appeared.
[Ding]
[Gained 5,000 Population. A total of 10 Candidates have been selected suitable for becoming officials. And 13 with Cultivation Talent suitable for the Army.]
''Once they become Loyal issue them with the rights and the tokens.''
After a busy day, Tang Gao fell asleep. But the protagonist, Lin Fan, wasn't sleeping so well.
''Shit! Who are these people?''
Lin Fan was sitting in his bedroom, just a few doors down from Tang Gao. And tapping on the table nervously.
He had noticed that Warriors had suddenly started appearing around him! They were checking his actions. He even noticed the quantity had skyrocketed after he purchased a few Ancient Materials for Maid Xiao.
''Is it possible she has been exposed? Not good. If the fact that I have a Supreme Talent subordinate gets leaked, I will definitely be hunted endlessly!''
''No! I have to go to the Chen Family. Only they can help me.''
Less than three hours later, Lin Fan was standing in a luxurious home study. Beside him, Chen Zue stood looking quite nervous.
As for why? Patriarch Chen was sitting on the table in front of them. His deep eyes staring through their bodies.
''So you got lucky and found a Supreme Warrior? Now you are suspicious that one of the Major Families found out. Haha it's brave of you to come here.''
Patriarch Chen tapped his table rhythmically. His deep eyes seemed to hold a plentiful amount of thoughts.
''My daughter seems to like you very much. So I won't kill you. However we have to come to an agreement.''
''A Supreme Talent is likely to give birth to some very talented descendants. I promise I will protect and cover up this secret for you the best I can. However the first descendants of the Supreme Talent will belong to our Chen Family.''
Lin Fan was slightly shocked. But he quickly weighed the pros and cons. And in the end he definitely came out on top. But he quickly spoke out.
''Of course Patriarch Chen. The only issue is that the Supreme Talent has to remain pure until her physique is completely awakened. Otherwise it will interfere with the process. So it might take a while to awaken her fully…''
Patriarch Chen smirked slightly.
''Very well, our Chen Family will do the best we can to help support the awakening process for this Supreme Talent.''
''Now… do you know why this Supreme Talent is so important?''
Lin Fan was slightly shocked, but quickly shook his head.
Patriarch Chen seemed to expect this and slowly began to speak.
''Levelling up as a Lord brings great benefits to a person. A greater starting point in resurrections, more opportunities for resurrections and the ability to master Rules and other great powers.''
''But more importantly, with each level you can awaken a Talent.''
''These Talents create a terrifying gap between every Lord. Take City Lord Ding. His awakened talent guarantees a Genius Talent will be nearby every resurrection, with a chance for an Overlord Talent.''
''Otherwise how else would he be so lucky to find an inheritance based genius.''
''So every lord's greatest goal is to level up.''
''After all, the higher the level the stronger the talent awakened.''
''However when you reach Level 3, the requirements to level up change. It's no longer enough just to invade other lords. While you do have to invade others, there's a difficult hurdle to cross first.''
''And it's this Hurdle that stops so many people from Levelling up.''
''The requirement for becoming a Level 4 Lord, is to have an Ancient Warrior that ranks in the top 10,000,000 out of every Ancient Warrior alive right now.''
''Ah?''
When Lin Fan heard this he was stunned. What is the concept of the top 10 Million? There are more than a billion Lords in the human race right now! Not to mention the countless other races!
Patriarch Chen seemed to expect his reaction but continued talking.
