Massive Shopping Spree

Looking at the introduction to the Federation Body-Tempering Art, Yang Fan could not help saying, "No wonder the teacher once said that after awakening a Divine Kingdom, even if I had to take out a loan, I should buy a copy of the Federation Body-Tempering Art. I never expected it could actually alter a believer's aptitude."

Yang Fan had done well in his high school theory classes, so he naturally understood how precious something that could change aptitude and be passed down to the next generation was.

After the 50% discount, it only cost 50,000 Faith Points. Yang Fan did not hesitate and directly clicked purchase.

"Help me search for creatures that can provide large quantities of meat. They need to have decent Breeding abilities," Yang Fan said softly.

At present, his Divine Kingdom only contained scattered ungraded wild beasts such as antelopes, rabbits, and tigers. Under the current circumstances, they could naturally maintain an ecological balance, but if the believers cultivated the Federation Body-Tempering Art, they would probably no longer be enough.

With his Evolution Talent, time flowed far too quickly within the Divine Kingdom. Yang Fan could not possibly keep watch and keep investing Resource Cards forever. Maintaining ecological balance and self-sufficiency was the best choice.

Searching:

Option 1: 10,000 Red-Eyed Rabbits, ordinary beasts, worth 10 Faith Points. Their advantage was their extremely strong Breeding ability, and they only needed to eat grass. They had no offensive ability. Their disadvantage was that they reproduced too rapidly and could easily damage the ecosystem. A Divine Oracle would need to be issued for believers to cull them regularly and keep their numbers within a reasonable range.

Option 2: 10,000 Western Cattle, ordinary beasts, worth 200 Faith Points. Their advantages were delicious meat, a grass-based diet, and docile temperaments. However, Western Cattle did not like gathering in herds, had no fixed habitats, and were less efficient to hunt.

Option 3: 1,000 Bodhi Treasure Snakes, Level 1 demonic beasts, worth 5,000 Faith Points. Their advantage was that their flesh and blood were extremely nutritious, making them highly suitable for cultivating the Federation Body-Tempering Art. Their disadvantage was average Breeding ability. If a Divine Oracle was not issued to restrain believers from hunting them, they could easily be driven extinct. They also posed a certain degree of danger during the early stages of Divine Kingdom development.

Option 4: 100 Deep-Sea Demon Wolves, Level 2 demonic beasts, worth 50,000 Faith Points...

Option 5...

The Artificial Lifeform offered more than a hundred choices in total, but Yang Fan quickly settled on the Bodhi Treasure Snakes.

Although the Bodhi Treasure Snakes had weaker Breeding abilities, he only had 200 believers right now. Once these 1,000 snakes were released into the Divine Kingdom, Yang Fan did not even dare place them too close to the Moonwell, lest his believers suffer losses.

There was absolutely no need to worry about them being hunted to extinction in the short term.

Once his believers had gained an initial grasp of the Federation Body-Tempering Art in the future, he could simply issue a Divine Oracle.

Yang Fan browsed the marketplace for a while longer, spending 10 Faith Points to buy ten stone houses. He then spent another 1,000 Faith Points on 100,000 antelopes, and picked up some of the cheapest construction manuals, basic tool-use ability, basic weaving ability, basic planting ability, and basic gathering ability.

Yang Fan bought whatever was cheap. With his Evolution Talent, as long as the believers got started, they would naturally sum up experience, learn, and improve. There was absolutely no need to spend large amounts of Faith Points on advanced skills.

Even if Yang Fan had not bought these basic skills, the believers in the Divine Kingdom would gradually have figured them out over time. However, he could no longer bear to look at these believers who were barely clothed, so he chose to give their progress a small push.

All told, he had spent 60,000 Faith Points. Of the resources awarded to him by the Ministry of Education, less than 40,000 remained.

Yang Fan took a deep breath and continued, "Help me search for spiritual plants that are in relatively high demand on the market. They need to be easy to cultivate but have long growth cycles, and their purchase costs must be within my means."

Scanning. Two spiritual plants found.

Wood Lingzhi seeds, 1,000 in total. They mature once every 100 years and can be harvested repeatedly, but must be planted beside fertile soil and require the roots of century-old ancient trees. Cost: 30,000 Faith Points.

Believers need intermediate cultivation skills, and the roots of century-old ancient trees must be purchased. Each planting costs 6,000 Faith Points.

If cultivation succeeds, each Wood Lingzhi is worth Faith Points at the current market price, with a three-month return rate of %.

"The cultivation is too complicated, and the initial investment is too high. Give me the second option," Yang Fan said, shaking his head.

Water Lotus × F-grade spiritual plant, worth 20,000 Faith Points. Its maturation period ranges from 100 to 300 years. It can be harvested repeatedly, and each Water Lotus Seed is worth 2,000 Faith Points. Its annualized return rate fluctuates between 10% and 30%.

Water Lotus takes too long to mature. As a senior high school student who has just awakened a Divine Kingdom, this Artificial Lifeform does not recommend cultivating Water Lotus on a large scale as an investment. Remember this.

As Yang Fan looked over the introduction to Water Lotus, his eyes instantly brightened. Other than its long growth cycle, Water Lotus had almost no flaws and happened to complement his Evolution Talent perfectly.

Unlike others, he could harvest 2,000 Faith Points in at most a month. In less than a year, he could double his money. It was absolutely a windfall profit.

"The rivers in the Divine Kingdom cover quite a large area. Perhaps I can plant them on a large scale. It's just a pity that the initial investment is still too high," Yang Fan sighed inwardly before clicking purchase.

20,000 Faith Points was no small sum. Given his family's circumstances, even if they neither ate nor drank, they would probably need half a year to save it up. If not for the Ministry of Education's reward, Yang Fan likely would not even have been qualified to make this investment.

"Federal Government law stipulates that as long as students do not actively invade another person's Divine Kingdom during their schooling, their own Divine Kingdoms are protected by law. There is still one year left of high school and four years of university. I have enough time to develop."

"I'll use my Evolution Talent to make all kinds of Divine Kingdom Investments, then use the Faith Points I earn to strengthen my believers. Finally, I'll charge toward Demigodhood and even godhood," Yang Fan planned.

Just as Yang Fan was thinking, the Artificial Lifeform's mechanical synthesized voice sounded from his wristwatch. "According to the law, the Faith Points currently spent by citizen Yang Fan came from rewards issued by the Ministry of Education. All purchased items must be used in his own Divine Kingdom and may not be resold or gifted to others. Once discovered, this will result in criminal liability. Do you wish to sign the informed consent form?"

"Sign it." Yang Fan wrote his name on the light screen with his finger.

"Purchase successful. Flying Bird Data Express is wholeheartedly at your service. All Resource Cards will be placed in your mailbox within thirty minutes. Please collect them promptly."

Less than five minutes after placing the order, Yang Fan discovered dozens of new messages in his mailbox.

With one click to collect them, the items in the mailbox transformed into streaks of pale blue data and materialized in reality, falling into Yang Fan's palm.

"Is this the method of higher gods? It really is incredible. With my Evolution Talent, perhaps one day I'll be able to reach this level too." Yang Fan looked at the cards in his hand with some emotion.

In this day and age, people basically never needed to leave home.

They could attend classes at home, work at home, and as long as they had Faith Points, they could even enjoy all kinds of entertainment at home by projecting their consciousness into another Virtual World.

Virtual objects could likewise be materialized into reality through blank cards.

This exponentially growing efficiency was all thanks to the emergence of Divine Kingdoms.

Yang Fan projected his consciousness into his Divine Kingdom and first placed the Bodhi Treasure Snakes one hundred kilometers away from the Moonwell.

Next came the 100,000 antelopes. He placed 50,000 on the eastern and western sides of the Moonwell, while the other 50,000 were placed around the Bodhi Treasure Snakes.

The Bodhi Treasure Snakes needed to eat as well, and these antelopes were the food Yang Fan had prepared for them.

Antelopes themselves also possessed a certain degree of reproductive ability. More importantly, their current base population was large enough. Even at the very bottom of the food chain, they should be able to reproduce normally.

Next came the Water Lotus. Yang Fan placed it in a large river closest to the tribe. Once it matured, the believers would still need to harvest it.
