The Fire Barbarian King looked at the Demon Emperor with gratitude. "Your Majesty, you truly are my savior. Actually, I wanted to replicate these production lines from the start, but unfortunately, succeeding was simply beyond my abilities. I couldn't make heads or tails of them."
"If Your Majesty lets me sell the production lines, I'll do everything I can. I won't slack off."
And so, over the next few days, the Demon Emperor and his people kept expanding their production lines, throwing all their efforts into making them.
Meanwhile, the Fire Barbarian King began peddling the replicated production lines.
Mechanical Warriors consumed a great deal of resources and weren't worth much, but production lines were different. An Overlord-level production line could already sell for five thousand five-star origin.
And that price kept rising.
Super Overlord-level production lines could sell for over ten thousand origin, while apart from the technology involved, each only cost as many resources as it took to produce a single Mechanical Warrior. Selling even one brought ten-thousandfold returns on a tiny investment.
The Fire Barbarian King had his own connections, too. Ever since becoming a blogger on the Forum, he had built up a following and even formed his own little Borderland Alliance. These small Borderland Worlds were all relatively weak powers. Borrowing the Demon Emperor's reputation, the Fire Barbarian King played the big shot among them and did quite well for himself.

Production lines, however, were genuinely good business.
For instance, in just these past few days, many Microcosm Overlords had already placed orders for Counterfeit Production
