He listened to the system notifications.
Zeng Shen felt a little surprised.
He had never expected that accidentally leaving these stray cats hungry for a day would turn every last one of them into a true believer.
At once, Zeng Shen opened his stats interface and glanced at his survival points, now over ten thousand. Delighted, he went straight for his third ten-pull.
"Ten-pull."
The moment Zeng Shen spoke, white, green, and blue light, tinged with purple, red, and gold, began revolving slowly with the pointer on the lottery wheel before him, visible to him alone.
A few seconds later.
Several streaks of white light burst out of the wheel.
[Congratulations, host. You drew 1 white card: Aquatic Plant Card.] [Congratulations, host. You drew 2 white cards: Wild Bull Card.] [Congratulations, host. You drew 1 white card: Common Fungus Card.] [Congratulations, host. You drew 1 white card: Common Insect Card.]
Listening to the notifications in his ears, Zeng Shen quickly opened his inventory space and examined the white cards.
[Aquatic Plant Card: A cluster of aquatic plants containing divine energy. Once placed in a divine realm, they will begin producing various aquatic plants suited to the local waters, improving water quality and helping aquatic species adapt to the area.] [Wild Bull Card: A group of wild bull calves containing divine energy. They have a long growth cycle and tremendous brute strength, and can be raised as mounts. Eating their meat regularly strengthens the body and increases strength.] [Common Fungus Card: Once placed in a divine realm, it will propagate common edible mushrooms. These mushrooms grow quickly and taste delicious, but contain only minute amounts of divine energy.] [Common Insect Card: Once placed in a divine realm, it will gradually produce common insects containing a small amount of divine energy.]
As Zeng Shen examined the white cards, streaks of green light flashed before his eyes alongside blue light.
[Congratulations, host. You drew 2 green cards: Divine Energy Rocket Launcher.] [Congratulations, host. You drew 1 green card: Divine Energy War Vehicle.] [Congratulations, host. You drew 1 green card: Breeding Flower Shrub.] [Congratulations, host. You drew 1 blue card: Skill Card, Potential Empowerment.]
"More Divine Energy Rocket Launchers. If I get another seven, wouldn't I be able to form a ten-believer rocket launcher squad in the future?"
Looking at the Divine Energy Rocket Launcher cards, Zeng Shen imagined having a rocket launcher squad that swept through all kinds of mutant beasts in the early days of the apocalyptic catastrophe.
But he soon turned his attention to the other three cards.
[Divine Energy War Vehicle: A war vehicle equipped with multiple hyper-intelligent technologies and an integrated defense system. It can withstand attacks from tier-two mutant beasts and change its form.]
"I needed a vehicle to get around, and here I am drawing a Divine Energy War Vehicle Card. Judging by the description, it can even change its appearance to suit my needs."
Reading the vehicle's description, Zeng Shen immediately took a liking to it. Still, he did not bring it out right away, instead turning his attention to the other two cards.
[Breeding Flower Shrub: A plant mutated by exposure to divine energy. Drying its flowers and adding them to feed can greatly increase a species' growth rate and reproductive capacity. It is also one of the main ingredients commonly used in strength-multiplying potions and stamina potions.] [Potential Empowerment: Low-tier skill card. Consume 20 faith points, or heavily overdraw physical stamina and mental energy, to empower the potential of yourself or a target, increasing the four attributes of strength, speed, physique, and spirit by one to three times for one minute. Cannot be stacked with other support skills.]
"With this Breeding Flower Shrub, wouldn't I be able to speed up the growth and reproduction of my Bastet catfolk, along with the other species I've placed in my divine realm?"
At that thought.
Zeng Shen wasted no time. With a slight focus of his mind, his consciousness condensed into a projection that appeared tens of thousands of meters above his divine realm in an instant.
Immediately afterward.
He placed the Aquatic Plant Card, Wild Bull Cards, Common Fungus Card, Common Insect Card, and Breeding Flower Shrub he had drawn this time into the realm, one after another.
[Host placed 1 Aquatic Plant Card in your divine realm. Some common aquatic plants will begin reproducing and evolving in your divine realm. Divine rank experience +1.] [Host placed 2 Wild Bull Cards in the plains of your divine realm, obtaining a group of 20 wild bull calves. Divine rank experience +2.] [Host placed 1 Common Fungus Card in your divine realm. Some common edible mushrooms will quietly begin to grow in areas suitable for fungi. Divine rank experience +1.] [Host placed 1 Common Insect Card in your divine realm. Some common insects have begun quietly appearing in your divine realm. Divine rank experience +1.] [Host placed 1 Breeding Flower Shrub beside the rivers, streams, and ponds in your divine realm, obtaining two Breeding Flower Shrubs. Species in this area will receive a tremendous increase in growth rate. Divine rank experience +1.]
After placing all the newly obtained cards that could be deployed, Zeng Shen looked at the three white Pheasant Chick Cards still available for placement in his inventory space.
"Now that there are insects in the divine realm, these pheasant chicks should be able to find bugs to eat on their own once I put them in, greatly improving their chances of survival, right?"
Zeng Shen murmured to himself and placed them in the realm.
He put one in the forest, one in the mountains, and one on the plains.
Each Pheasant Chick Card contained ten chicks, five males and five females.
Once he finished placing them, Zeng Shen withdrew his consciousness and returned to his body, then learned the Potential Empowerment skill card as well.
Afterward, he watched the Bastet catfolk beside him eagerly eating their cat food for a while. He reached out to pet Xiao Hei and a few other kittens, then walked toward Xiao Bai, who was guarding the entrance to the divine palace.
Xiao Bai was curled up asleep in his doghouse. The bowl Zeng Shen had filled to the brim the night before no longer held a single piece of kibble.
When he saw Zeng Shen approaching, Xiao Bai opened his eyes, crawled out of the doghouse, and barked happily.
"Hehe, missed your owner, huh? Hungry too, aren't you?"
Zeng Shen crouched down and stroked Xiao Bai's fluffy fur, then took out a bag of dog food and filled his bowl. He left the remaining half-bag nearby so Xiao Bai could help himself after finishing the bowl, then left the divine realm.
As for the Divine Energy War Vehicle Card.
Zeng Shen planned to buy a car and get it registered tomorrow, then swap it out.
By the time he left the divine realm, it was already past nine at night.
"Time flies. I wonder if Li Yuqing and Liu Tongtong have finished their discussion." Muttering to himself, Zeng Shen picked up his phone and placed a video call.
The call soon connected.
Li Yuqing was in the bathroom, wearing a thin bathrobe.
With his sharp eyes, Zeng Shen caught a fleeting glimpse of Liu Tongtong's naked figure as she darted past beside Li Yuqing.
"Hubby, are you done?"
"Yeah. You should be finished too, right?"
"Yep. Liu Tongtong and I were just taking a bath together when you called."
"Then should I hang up and call back later?"
"No need. That girl doesn't mind, so why should I?"
"Get lost."
Liu Tongtong's sharp voice suddenly came through the video call from a corner Zeng Shen could not see.
