After the teacher left, Zhang Pang couldn't help saying, "Brother Yang, now that we've awakened our Divine Kingdoms, the Federal Government has granted us a lot of permissions. Do you want to go hang out in the entertainment district together?"
"Hang out doing what?" Yang Fan asked with a suspicious look on his face.
"Let me tell you quietly, I checked out quite a few places yesterday. There's a club called Heavenly Fragrance Club where people with our status can spend at the first level, for just 2,000 Faith Points..."
"Pardon me, but women will only slow down the speed at which I draw my blade. Let's catch up another time." Yang Fan hurriedly exited the Virtual World, afraid of being tempted by Zhang Pang.
Returning to reality, Yang Fan opened the shopping panel once again.
"My believers are already cultivating the Federal Body Refinement Technique. What methods are there to enhance their strength?" Yang Fan input his requirements.
"According to the citizen's requirements, the following solutions are now provided:
First, purchase Spirit Plants that can alter Aptitude, which will significantly accelerate the believers' Cultivation progress.
Example: 100 D-Level Spirit Plant blood lotus seeds are priced at 10,000 Faith Points. Believers need to consume them long-term, one per person every month in Divine Kingdom time, and persist for decades to see results."
Seeing this, Yang Fan's face couldn't help twitching: "This is way too expensive."
He currently had 600 believers, so taking it once would cost 60,000, and twelve months in a year would be 720,000, yet only a single day had passed in the outside world.
"Spirit Plants that alter Aptitude are all extremely expensive. This is already the cheapest tier I retrieved."
"Isn't there any kind that slowly alters believers' Aptitude over time? This burns through money too fast."
"You can choose to purchase a Cultivation Technique to enhance the believers' strength. Considering you've just awakened your Divine Kingdom, for long-term development, the chosen Cultivation Technique should ideally subtly enhance the believers' Aptitude aside from boosting strength."
"Recommend some to me."
"Muscle-Tendon Changing and Marrow-Cleansing Technique, C-Level Cultivation Technique, valued at 2 million Faith Points.
Yijinjing, C-Level Cultivation Technique, valued at 5 million Faith Points.
Everlasting Spring Technique, B-Level Cultivation Technique, valued at one point of Divinity; current identity has no permission to purchase.
..."
Intelligent Lifeform recommended over a hundred types of Cultivation Techniques, but not a single one was something he could afford. More importantly, it seemed his permissions were insufficient, and many of the later ones were censored. He could only see that such items existed, but didn't even know what their names were.
"I might as well continue farming, wash up, and go to bed early." Yang Fan gave a bitter laugh.
In the ensuing real-life routine, things began to return to peace.
Yang Fan entered the Virtual World on time every day for class.
How should a Divine Kingdom develop? What kind of resource cards have the highest cost-effectiveness in the Early Stage? How to maintain the ecological balance of the Divine Kingdom and keep a virtuous Evolution going? Cultivating believers in diverse directions.
As the head teacher of Class 7, Li Qingying covered everything comprehensively in every class. However, perhaps because the students of Class 7 all had ordinary backgrounds, she leaned more toward logistics.
Even so, Yang Fan listened very attentively. With his Evolution Talent, his Divine Kingdom could completely undergo all-around development. This story is hosted at g.com.
In the blink of an eye, another 10 days passed. Under the effects of the Evolution Talent, another century had elapsed within the Divine Kingdom.
"Divine Lord: Yang Fan
Divine Kingdom Area: 1 million square kilometers
Talent: F-rank Resource Acceleration Talent (All Resources within the Divine Kingdom accelerate growth by 10%)
SSS-Rank Talent: Evolution (Unique Talent, can accelerate Divine Kingdom Evolution, hidden.)
Believers: Barbarians (5,230)
Technique: Federal Body Refinement Technique
Faith Points: 7,788 (Daily provision of Faith Points: 0.006)
Building: Moon Well (Produces a drop of Moon Dew every ten years)
Assets: Bodhi Treasure Snake (X5,311, Level 1 Demonic Beast), Water Lotus (X1,000, F-Level Spirit Plant)"
Over a century, the Divine Kingdom had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Centered around the Moon Well, the tribe had built hundreds of stone houses around it, and the occupied area had even reached 5,000 square kilometers.
Thanks to the basic skill cards invested ten days ago, the believers had generally become much smarter. They even enclosed a large area to raise antelopes in captivity for convenient hunting.
There were also believers who transplanted the wild fruit trees within the Divine Kingdom near the tribe for centralized harvesting, improving efficiency.
The elderly did chores in the tribe, young women picked wild fruits, adult males formed teams to hunt, youths played in the fields, and infants cried out for milk in the rooms.
Under Yang Fan's gaze, a team of fifty adult males in the mountain forest was carrying a Bodhi Treasure Snake that was fully twenty meters long back to the tribe.
"The hunting team is back, and it's an adult Bodhi Treasure Snake!" A half-naked little boy high up in the tribe shouted loudly.
Hearing this, the entire tribe sprang into action.
"Ada, how come only you guys returned?" An elderly man stepped forward to ask.
"Lord Chieftain, in the past we always captured young snakes. Perhaps because we did it too many times, these beasts have grown smart. Today, an adult Bodhi Treasure Snake actually ambushed us from the shadows, and only half of our hundred-man team returned." The leading man replied calmly, his eyes devoid of sadness, instead feeling quite satisfied with this harvest.
"It's fine as long as we didn't return empty-handed. The medicinal efficacy of an adult Precious Snake is powerful; dilute it with more water for the children to take. For the next few months, do not go to Snake Valley to hunt and kill; properly digest this harvest. If another warrior like you can appear in the tribe, we can actively hunt adult Precious Snakes."
"Everything for the tribe," the man said with excitement. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
"Everything for the deities," the Chieftain raised both hands high with utmost piety.
In the Void, Yang Fan watched all of this, a look of satisfaction showing on his face.
Over a century, the overall strength of the believers had multiplied by far more than 10 times.
The number of Bodhi Treasure Snakes had also greatly increased, with mature Precious Snakes numbering around 1,500, while the rest were mostly young snakes.
Seeming to notice something, Yang Fan furrowed his brow slightly.
"How come the number of antelopes has decreased by so much? There are less than 200,000 left."
After all, it was Yang Fan's own Divine Kingdom, so he quickly found the reason.
The main reason was that the believers were cultivating the Federal Body Refinement Technique, coupled with the population explosion, causing the consumption of meat to grow geometrically.
About thirty years ago, the previous Chieftain discovered this problem, began restricting the villagers from hunting them, and even raised a portion in captivity.
The second reason was the reproduction of the Bodhi Treasure Snakes; their consumption of meat was equally terrifying, being several times more than that of the entire tribe.
Although they were Level 1 Demonic Beasts, these beasts did not possess high intelligence, nor did they understand the principle of draining a pond to catch fish; basically, they ate when hungry, slept when full, and continued eating upon waking up.
If not for the tribe going to hunt and kill young snakes every interval of time, their numbers would only be greater, and they might have already started disrupting the ecological chain.
"The biodiversity within the Divine Kingdom is still too sparse, and the chain is not very stable. Furthermore, I need to buy some grass seeds so that herbivores like antelopes have more food."
Figuring out the shortcomings of the Divine Kingdom, Yang Fan returned to reality and began shopping.
"Six-leaf clover grass seeds can cover 100,000 square kilometers, grow extremely fast, and require sufficient moisture. Once the growth density reaches a certain level, they will compete with each other for moisture, thus ensuring they won't grow wildly and disrupt the ecology. Priced at 200 Faith Points."
"Buy."
"10,000 unranked wild boars, priced at 300 Faith Points."
"Buy."
"1,000 unranked tigers, priced at 400 Faith Points."
"100,000 hamsters, priced at 300 Faith Points."
"100 million earthworms, can fertilize soil and increase vegetation growth speed, priced at 100 Faith Points."
"..."
Buy, buy, buy.
With a wave of his hand, Yang Fan spent nearly 3,000 Faith Points to purchase various unranked beasts.
