Bulk Purchasing

Looking at the introduction to the Federation Body-Tempering Art, Yang Fan could not help but say, "No wonder my teacher once said that after awakening a Divine Kingdom, I should buy a copy of the Federation Body-Tempering Art even if I had to take out a loan. 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 just how precious something that could change one's aptitude and be inherited by the next generation was.

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

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

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

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

Searching:

Option 1: 10,000 Red-Eyed Rabbits, ordinary wild beasts, worth 10 Faith Points. Their advantages are extremely strong Breeding capabilities, a diet consisting only of grass, and no offensive ability. Their disadvantage is excessively rapid reproduction, which can easily damage the ecosystem. A Divine Oracle must be issued for believers to cull them regularly and keep their numbers within a reasonable range.

Option 2: 10,000 Western Cattle, ordinary wild beasts, worth 200 Faith Points. Their advantages are delicious meat, a herbivorous diet, and a gentle temperament. However, Western Cattle dislike gathering in herds and have no fixed habitat, resulting in lower hunting efficiency.

Option 3: 1,000 Bodhi Treasure Snakes, Rank One demonic beasts, worth 5,000 Faith Points. Their advantages are highly nutritious flesh and blood, making them extremely suitable for cultivating the Federation Body-Tempering Art. Their disadvantage is average Breeding capability. If a Divine Oracle is not issued to restrict the believers' hunting, they can easily be hunted to extinction. They also pose a certain degree of danger during the early stages of Divine Kingdom development.

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

Option 5...

The Artificial Lifeform offered more than a hundred options, but Yang Fan quickly settled on the Bodhi Treasure Snake.

Although the Bodhi Treasure Snake had weak Breeding capabilities, he only had 200 believers at the moment. After releasing these 1,000 snakes 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 a basic grasp of the Federation Body-Tempering Art, he could issue a Divine Oracle.

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

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

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

He had spent a total of 60,000 Faith Points, leaving less than 40,000 from the resources awarded to him by the Ministry of Education.

Yang Fan took a deep breath and continued, "Help me search for spiritual plants that are in high demand on the market. They need to be easy to cultivate but have a long growth cycle, and I need to be able to afford the purchase cost."

Scanning complete. 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 a century-old ancient tree. Cost: 30,000 Faith Points.

Believers must possess intermediate cultivation proficiency, and the roots of century-old ancient trees must be purchased. The cost of each planting is 6,000 Faith Points.

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

"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-rank spiritual plant, worth 20,000 Faith Points. Its maturation period ranges from 100 to 300 years. It can be harvested repeatedly. Each Water Lotus Seed is worth 2,000 Faith Points, with an annualized return rate fluctuating between 10% and 30%.

Water Lotus takes too long to mature. As a high school senior 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.

Yang Fan's eyes immediately lit up as he looked at the introduction to the Water Lotus. Aside from its long growth cycle, it had almost no drawbacks and was perfectly suited to his Evolution Talent.

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

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

20,000 Faith Points was no small amount. Given his family's circumstances, even if they went without food or drink, they would probably need half a year to save that much. If not for the reward from the Ministry of Education, 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 Divine Kingdoms are protected by law. There is one year of high school remaining and another 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 strive for Demigodhood and even Godhood," Yang Fan planned.

Just as Yang Fan was thinking, the Artificial Lifeform's mechanical synthesized voice came from his wristwatch. "According to legal regulations, 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, violations will result in criminal liability. Would you like to sign the informed consent form?"

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

"Purchase successful. Flying Bird Data Express is dedicated to serving you. 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 noticed dozens of new messages in his mailbox.

With a single click to collect them, the items in the mailbox transformed into streams of pale blue data and materialized in reality, landing in 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 that level as well." 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 from home, and as long as they possessed Faith Points, they could even enjoy all kinds of entertainment at home by immersing their consciousness in another Virtual World.

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

Such exponentially increasing efficiency was all thanks to the emergence of Divine Kingdoms.

Yang Fan immersed 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 also needed food, and these antelopes were the prey Yang Fan had prepared for them.

The antelopes themselves also possessed a certain level of reproductive ability. More importantly, their current population was large enough. Even as the 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.
