Qin Xiao lay in bed, his headache worsening with each passing thought.

In particular, there are the resources of Jianmu's new power fruit, as well as the fusion resources of Qianyun and Yunyun.

The required psionic energy and treasures are too numerous and bizarre; I have no idea when I'll be able to collect enough.

As he pondered the matter, Qin Xiao set his sights on the prize money for this World Youth Championship.

If the reward dungeon is decent this time, will it be possible to sell it?

While ownership of a secret realm was satisfying, that was in the past.

With his current strength, he could easily find some secret realms in the wild and not need to station any guards. He could simply let the Jianmu tree occupy and erode them.

Now that you think about it, it seems like this secret realm isn't so unattainable after all.

How much would an entire secret realm be worth if sold?

I think I have all the resources I need, right?

However, Qin Xiao felt that this secret realm probably wouldn't sell so easily. Although it was a reward, it wasn't something he could do recklessly.

There will certainly be accompanying responsibilities, such as managing the secret realm, guarding the secret realm, and so on.

"Brother Xiao, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Qin Xiao was behaving himself and not making any movement, Ye Qingya felt a little uncomfortable and looked up to ask.

Qin Xiao looked at the woman in his arms and suddenly remembered that Ye Qingya was the mayor. Although her cultivation level was a little lower, she knew much more than he did.

"Well, Sister Qingya, as you know, I won first place in this World Youth Championship, so there should be quite a few rewards."

One of the rewards is a secret realm, and I estimate its quality is quite high. Can I sell this secret realm?

Ye Qingya's eyes widened. "Why did you sell it?"

Qin Xiao awkwardly pinched the other person's neck, "It's because I don't have any money. I was thinking of buying you some things, and I'm also short of a lot of spirit crystals."

Ye Qingya laughed and stopped his mischievous hands, "You really are picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. This secret world cannot be sold."

"Oh, why?"

Ye Qingya forced herself to concentrate and said,

"First, this secret realm is a reward from the Divine Palace of Huawu Kingdom, but it also comes with corresponding responsibilities. Such a secret realm cannot be bought or sold."

Secondly, these secret realms are generally good resource realms, containing either minerals, organisms, or rare and precious materials.

Third, the management and security of these secret realms are the responsibility of the realm owners, but all the resources produced within them also belong to the realm owners.

Qin Xiao's eyes lit up after hearing these words.

"Honey, you mean you want to manage this secret realm yourself and then exchange resources for other resources?"

Ye Qingya nodded. "Of course, I know that many people are granted secret realms or are stationed in secret realms. It's basically the same pattern."

"Besides, those people don't own the secret realm, yet they still eat their fill. How could you, who owns the secret realm, possibly sell it?"

Qin Xiao looked excited, but then became somewhat frustrated. "But there are just too many resources in these secret realms for me to use. There's not enough market to absorb them all."

Hearing this, Ye Qingya looked at him with some surprise.

"Brother Xiao, you don't know?"

Qin Xiao was taken aback. "Know what?"

Ye Qingya covered her forehead. "I'm sorry, honey. It's my fault. I didn't think to talk to you about these things. I thought you had already known after going through so much."

This only made Qin Xiao more confused, and he didn't even notice the word "husband".

"Tell me quickly, you've got me itching to talk."

Ye Qingya covered her mouth and smiled, "Actually, I don't know either. I've only heard people mention it."

At this point, Ye Qingya changed her approach.

"Brother Xiao, what do you think of the strength of our Blue Star Huawu Kingdom?"

Qin Xiao pondered, "It should be alright, I think. When I entered the secret realm for the competition before, those forces seemed to still know about it."

Moreover, our Huawu Kingdom has so many demigods, and even gods; we're certainly not pushovers.

Ye Qingya nodded, "Yes, although our Huawu Kingdom is not the strongest, it is definitely a major power."

So many secret realms, so many worlds, and so many foreign races and worlds that depend on the Huawu Kingdom.

How many people do you think there are in all these worlds combined? How many treasures? How big is the market?

Qin Xiao was stunned, and the more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became.

Some of these super-large secret realms, or even entire planes, are comparable to the universe itself. The vassal states and friendly worlds of the Huawu Kingdom are countless.

All these worlds combined... are terrifying...

"So, are you still worried about not being able to sell good products? Although I'm not entirely sure, I do know that such a market exists."

Ye Qingya said with a smile, "So, the stronger you are, the faster our resources will grow, beyond your imagination."

Ye Qingya didn't say it directly, but Qin Xiao's idea just now was really petty.

But you can't blame him, because he had never thought about it in that way before.

In Qin Xiao's mind, the Huawu Kingdom was nothing more than a small country, managing some secret realms to plunder resources, and subconsciously didn't regard the races of other worlds as human beings at all...

In that case, this secret realm definitely needs to be managed well.

Moreover, once Jianmu has rested, it can aggressively invade and occupy unclaimed secret realms, consolidating its own resources...

Thinking about it this way, Qin Xiao instantly understood the organizational structure of these large families in Huawu Kingdom, and even some of the organizational details of the Evil God Cult.

No wonder, in Huawu Kingdom, one rarely encounters any top-tier powerful families bullying and dominating the market, manipulating the country in various ways.

Even in these cities, the mayor is in charge, with only simple oversight and resource allocation on a daily basis.

Compared to the outside world, Huawu Kingdom and Blue Star are nothing more than a 'small pond'.

His vision is too narrow, and his stage is too small; he has always been confined to one realm and one field.

However, Qin Xiao quickly perked up again.

I'm not afraid of how big the world is, I'm afraid it's not exciting enough!

"Brother Xiao, has the reward secret realm been confirmed?"

Ye Qingya was also happy for Qin Xiao and asked softly.

Qin Xiao shook his head, "Not yet, I guess it will have to wait until the commendation meeting is over, or until the higher-ups have seen me?"

Qin Xiao himself was also a little unsure. When he returned, he communicated with Sun Lingbo and also talked with Brother Li Yu.

They all said I should go see them tomorrow, so I guess there should be a result by then.

Qin Xiao shook his head, deciding not to think about these things anymore; he would know after tomorrow.

However, a thought popped into his head as he looked at the beauty in his arms.

"Honey, why don't you resign from your mayoral position and come help me?"

Ye Qingya was taken aback, somewhat surprised that Qin Xiao would suddenly say such a thing.

"This...I'm afraid my strength isn't enough?"

Qin Xiao chuckled, "You're managing the secret realm on my behalf, so you don't need to worry about safety or combat."

Besides, it's our own family property; do you really trust anyone else to manage it? I certainly don't have the inclination to.

Hearing him mention his home, Ye Qingya's face flushed.

"Well... I'll give it a try. But you can't blame me if I don't do a good job!"

"I trust our mayor, and besides, these are all our things, so don't mess with them as you please..."

Qin Xiao said nonchalantly, which moved Ye Qingya deeply.

"Honey, I want you..."
