Successfully advancing to the Golden Core Realm had brought not only a leap in strength, but also an expansion of his horizons and ambitions.
Benjamin clearly realized that the list of matters he needed to handle had suddenly grown several times longer.
The foremost issue was the energy core of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane—installing a Level 7 Large Elemental Pool.
The operation manuals and user guides for that thing piled up like a small mountain, and the principles involved were complex enough to make one dizzy.
Benjamin made a rough estimate. With his current knowledge reserves and rate of comprehension, fully mastering those materials would likely take a thousand years of dedicated study.
"Forget it, forget it. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Benjamin quickly adjusted his mindset.
He decided not to treat it as an urgent task, but as a long-term research project to be worked on in the gaps between his other research, a "leisure read" for changing his train of thought.
After all, accumulating knowledge was a pleasure in itself.
However, distant water could not quench immediate thirst.
The Plane's current energy shortage, especially the near-stagnation of the Black Giant Incubation Pool, had to be resolved as soon as possible.
At this moment, financial resources played a crucial role.
Benjamin pulled up the Military Merit reserves he had earned over the years through the Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol. Without hesitation, he allocated nearly thirty billion from his total savings of just over thirty billion. Using this enormous sum, he formally hired, through Noren Workshop's internal network, an experienced Plane transformation Engineering Team officially dispatched by Noren Workshop.
Their task was to carry out the planned second and third phases of comprehensive transformation for the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
The second phase mainly involved upgrading the infrastructure
