A system notification chimed in his mind.
Zeng Mo felt a little surprised.
He hadn't expected that, after accidentally eating those demonic beasts for a whole day, he would end up converting all of them into his own devout followers.
Immediately, Zeng Mo opened the interface and looked at his points. Delighted, he drew ten cards.
"Ten draws."
As soon as Zeng Mo spoke, the only thing he could see before him—a panel visible only to him—began to glow with a white light streaked with purple and gold.
A few seconds passed.
Whoosh!
Several beams of white light shot out from the panel.
[Congratulations, Master. You drew 1 Water Grass Card.]
[Congratulations, Master. You drew 2 Blue-Eyed Buffalo Cards.]
[Congratulations, Master. You drew 1 Common Mushroom Card.]
[Congratulations, Master. You drew 1 Common Mineral Card.]
Hearing the system's notifications, Zeng Mo quickly opened his inventory and looked at the cards he'd drawn.
[Water Grass Card: Contains divine energy. When placed in your divine realm, a variety of aquatic plants suited to the environment will begin to grow, increasing the water element in your divine realm and improving the living conditions for aquatic creatures.]
[Blue-Eyed Buffalo Card: Contains divine energy. A group of young blue-eyed buffalo with a long growth period and astonishing strength. They can be trained as mounts or raised for food. Once grown, they are naturally robust and their strength improves.]
[Common Mushroom Card: When placed in your divine realm, it will grow a group of edible mushrooms that reproduce quickly and taste delicious, though they contain only a trace of divine energy.]
[Common Mineral Card: When placed in your divine realm, it will gradually produce a variety of common minerals containing only a trace of divine energy.]
Just as Zeng Mo had finished reading the cards, another beam of blue light, accompanied by a streak of white, flashed before his eyes.
[Congratulations, Master. You drew 2 Divine Energy Crystal Cards.]
[Congratulations, Master. You drew 1 Divine Energy Armament Card.]
[Congratulations, Master. You drew 1 Reproduction Flower Card.]
[Congratulations, Master. You drew 1 Skill Card: Energy Burst.]
"Another Divine Energy Crystal Card. If I get seven more, then someday I might be able to build a Divine Energy Crystal Mine for my devout followers."
Zeng Mo looked at the Divine Energy Crystal Card and imagined having a whole mine of them in the early days of this new world, enough to crush all kinds of hostile forces.
But he quickly turned his gaze to the other three cards.
[Divine Energy Armament: A piece of high-tech equipment combining an intelligent control system with a defensive system. It can withstand two full-power attacks from a demigod. It is also known as an armament that can be modified to change its form.]
I was just short one step from finishing a piece of equipment, and now I've drawn a Divine Energy Armament Card. Judging by the description, it seems I can even tell it what shape I want it to take.
After reading the introduction to the Divine Energy Armament, Zeng Mo was thrilled. But he didn't summon it right away. Instead, he turned his attention to the other two cards.
[Reproduction Flower: A plant that grows in areas rich in divine energy. Its flowers can be added to feed to greatly increase the growth and reproductive rates of livestock. It can also strengthen their bodies, increasing their strength and vitality. It is one of the most commonly used auxiliary plants.]
[Energy Burst: A low-tier skill card. Consume 20 points of faith, or sacrifice a large amount of physical strength and mental energy, to activate Energy Burst on yourself or a designated target. For two minutes, it increases four attributes—strength, speed, vitality, and spirit—by one to three times. It cannot be used again until the cooldown ends. Using other auxiliary cards can increase its effects.]
"Now that I have the Reproduction Flower, won't my Basque beasts—and the other species I put in my divine realm—grow and reproduce faster?"
At the thought, Zeng Mo couldn't help smiling. With a thought, his divine consciousness spread out above the rice fields in his divine realm.
Then he began placing the cards he'd drawn: the Water Grass Card, Blue-Eyed Buffalo Cards, Common Mushroom Card, Common Mineral Card, and Reproduction Flower Card.
[Master placed 1 Water Grass Card in your divine realm. Several common aquatic plants will begin to reproduce and evolve in your divine realm. Divine Realm Area +1.]
[Master placed 2 Blue-Eyed Buffalo Cards on the plains in your divine realm. A herd of 20 young blue-eyed buffalo appeared. Divine Realm Area +2.]
[Master placed 1 Common Mushroom Card in your divine realm. Several mushroom beds suitable for growing fungi will slowly produce edible common mushrooms. Divine Realm Area +1.]
[Master placed 1 Common Mineral Card in your divine realm. Several common minerals began appearing in your divine realm. Divine Realm Area +1.]
[Master placed 1 Reproduction Flower Card beside the river in your divine realm. Two Reproduction Flowers bloomed. The growth rate of the species in your divine realm has greatly increased. Divine Realm Area +1.]
After placing all the cards he'd drawn, Zeng Mo checked his inventory. He still had three white cards left: the Wildcat Cub Card.
"Now that there are wildcats in my divine realm, if I place these Wildcat Cub Cards here, they'll be able to find their own food. That should greatly improve their survival rate, right?"
Zeng Mo thought for a moment, then placed them.
He put one in the forest, one in the mountains, and one on the plains.
Each Wildcat Cub Card produced ten wildcat cubs, five males and five females.
Once he'd finished placing them, Zeng Mo withdrew his divine consciousness and returned to his chair. He used the Skill Card, Energy Burst, too.
Then, for a while, he sat back and ate the delicious Basque beast meat. He picked up the little black cat and played with it for a while, then guarded the little white dog sleeping at the entrance to the shrine.
Little White was curled up in the doghouse, fast asleep. It had spent the previous night barking at the cats, and now it was completely exhausted.
When Zeng Mo got up to leave, Little White opened its eyes and crawled out of the doghouse, wagging its tail eagerly.
"Aw, you missed your master, huh? You're hungry too, aren't you?"
Zeng Mo crouched down and rubbed Little White's fluffy head. He took out a bag of dog food and filled its bowl. Then he put the half-empty bag down beside it. After Little White finished eating, he would have some food himself before returning to his divine realm.
As for the Divine Energy Armament Card—
Zeng Mo planned to wait until tomorrow, after he'd successfully completed the armament, before secretly having a look around.
Once he left the divine realm, it was already past nine in the evening.
"Time sure flies when you're busy. I didn't even realize that Teacher Zhang and Yang Ying had finished their livestream."
Zeng Mo yawned, picked up his phone, and called Yang Ying.
The call connected quickly.
Yu Lin was wearing a thin bathrobe and was in the bathroom.
Zeng Mo frowned, silently watching Yang Ying's restless figure as she walked quickly back and forth in the bathroom.
"Honey, you're finally done."
"Mm. What about you? I guess you're done too."
"Oh! Yang Ying and I were taking a bath together, and then you suddenly called."
"Then I'll hang up. I'll call you again later."
"No need. She doesn't mind, and I don't mind either."
"Mm."
On the other end of the call, where Zeng Mo couldn't see, Yang Ying suddenly covered Yu Lin's mouth.
Before you continue
