38: Chapter 38 Procurement

Item Five, Resource Optimization and Upgrades.

Eve began pulling up the Divine Kingdom's resource distribution map, and a large number of E-grade resources instantly turned red.

"Master, these resources have already begun to drag down the Divine Kingdom's revenue. It is recommended to sell all E-grade resources, with an estimated recovery of 120 million Faith Values."

"At the same time, make an additional purchase of 200,000 catties of star-patterned spirit wheat, 30,000 Nine-Sun Spirit Fruit Trees, 20,000 Profound-Sun Blood Ganoderma, 10,000 hundred-year-old Red-Blood Ginseng, 50,000 Obsidian Bone-Tempering Grass, 100,000 Scarlet-Flame Spirit Peppers, and 50,000 Jade-Bone Flowers, with an estimated cost of 610 million Faith Values."

It is recommended to purchase 10,000 D-grade spirit plants "Purple Firmament Thunder Bamboo" and 10,000 D-grade spirit plants "Dragon-Blood Red Pine Wood", with an estimated cost of 100 million Faith Values.

Expected investment: 710 million Faith Values."

"An additional purchase of 50,000 D-grade spirit beasts "Dragon-Horn Mountain-Treading Oxen", 100,000 Iron-Backed Savage Ox, 50,000 Rock-Armored Giant-Horned Sheep, and 50,000 Golden-Scale Spirit Carps."

Estimated investment: 600 million Faith Values."

Item Seven, Divine Kingdom Regional Planning.

With a wave of Eve's hand, the entire Divine Kingdom's current regional planning was rearranged by her.

"Currently, the believers live very scattered, and the land utilization efficiency is extremely low. Combined with the planning of the Divine Kingdom's total area, it is expected that in the future, one divine capital, twelve major cities, and thirty-six sub-cities will be established."

In the early stages, the divine capital and each major city can accommodate a population of 3 to 5 million, while each sub-city can accommodate 1 to 2 million.

At the same time, space for subsequent upgrades and expansions will be reserved to avoid repeated migrations due to population expansion.

The Divine Kingdom currently has a population of about 14 million. Residential buildings are relatively cheap and can be purchased as finished products directly from the Alliance Mall.

However, due to funding issues, only four D-grade buildings "Black Tortoise Boundary-Suppressing City Walls" will be purchased, so it is recommended to build one divine capital and three major cities in the early stage.

All farmlands will be designated for Planting surrounding the outer periphery of the city, while the herb gardens, orchards, pastures, forests, and fisheries will develop specialized operations according to their respective locations.

Establish transportation roads, arrange for believers to build roads according to the plan, and ensure that all roads cover all major areas.

Establish professional storage warehouses, store resources by category, reduce non-artificial losses, and recommend purchasing large constant-temperature storage warehouses.

It is estimated that after adjustments according to the above plan, the transportation distance will drop by 60%, the degree of resource intensification in the Divine Kingdom will increase, efficiency will be greatly improved, and the overall revenue of the Divine Kingdom will increase by 20%."

Finally, having finished saying all this, Eve flew back to Fang Yun's shoulder and said earnestly,

"Master, if all of the above plans are implemented, it is estimated that an investment of 2.13 billion Faith Values will be required."

After listening, Fang Yun nodded with satisfaction. What Eve said was indeed what he urgently needed to do at present.

According to Eve's planning scheme, the overall pattern of the future Divine Kingdom will have the divine capital as its center, with twelve major cities and thirty-six sub-cities guarding the divine capital.

The resource zones will closely surround the urban areas. This part will be the core region of the Divine Kingdom, greatly reducing the space required for defense.

"Make a list of the above-mentioned required supplies and send it to me."

"Okay, Master." Eve quickly organized the list and sent it to Fang Yun.

The reason Fang Yun wanted this list instead of letting Eve purchase it directly from the mall was that buying it from the Fang Family would be much cheaper.

There were no so-called platform handling fees, additional taxes, and other extra Faith Value expenses.

Previously, he was afraid of exposing his strength and could not explain the source of his large amount of Faith Values. Now, with the endorsement of his father's support, he could make purchases from the Fang Family without any scruples.

After exiting the Divine Kingdom, Fang Yun directly contacted Uncle Mu and sent the list to him.

"Uncle Mu, are these supplies available in the Fang Family Mall?"

After a few minutes, the other party replied, "The vast majority are available, but there are some resources in which the family does not offer discounts."

Fang Yun thought for a moment and said, "Alright, see how many you have, I want all of them."

In the end, Fang Yun purchased nearly 1.5 billion Faith Values worth of supplies at a 10% discount, saving 150 million Faith Values!

There wasn't too much stock left in the Fang Family warehouse, so Fang Yun purchased directly from the mall.

Since the star domain where the Fang Family's ancestral land is located is not the same star domain as Canglan Star, and Fang Yun was also purchasing a large amount of supplies this time, offline delivery was required.

Cross-star-domain teleportation is relatively slow, so he would have to wait until tomorrow to receive the goods.

Fang Yun was not in a hurry anyway; there was still a full month left before the end-of-month exam.

...

The next morning, Wang Xinrou slept in for a rare change. It wasn't that she was intentionally lazy; the guest rooms in Fang Yun's villa were simply too comfortable.

After lying down last night, the entire bedroom automatically switched to sleep mode, and the heavy curtains slowly closed, completely blocking out the next morning's sunlight.

The air always maintained the most comfortable temperature and humidity, and even breathing became exceptionally relaxed.

The entire villa adopted the highest-grade soundproof materials, isolating all outside sounds.

When she opened her eyes, the time on the wall already showed 10:27 AM.

Wang Xinrou was slightly stunned. She hadn't slept this soundly in a long time.

She turned her head sideways.

Finding that her younger sister was still curled up in the quilt, hugging her pillow and sleeping soundly, with even a trace of faint saliva hanging from the corner of her mouth, Wang Xinrou couldn't help smiling gently.

She didn't wake her sister up, but instead tiptoed out of bed. After a simple wash, she gently pushed open the room door.

As soon as the door opened, a young girl wearing a black-and-white maid outfit slightly bowed.

"Good morning, Miss Xinrou."

"Would you like to dine now?"

Wang Xinrou was obviously stunned for a moment. She hadn't seen any servants around last night.

It turned out that besides Fang Yun and Jiang Wanyin, there were other people in this villa.

"Ah... Okay." She nodded.

The young girl continued to ask with a smile, "Would you like to dine in the guest room, or go to the main dining room?"

"Let's go to the dining room."

"Alright, please follow me."

...

Walking along the way, Wang Xinrou finally learned just how big this villa really was.

Various artworks were placed on both sides of the long corridor. Some looked like sculptures, and some looked like collections from other civilizations, which she couldn't quite understand.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was an endless garden, where fountains, lakes, and woods intertwined with each other.

If someone hadn't led the way, she felt she might have gotten lost. After turning a few corridors, the dining room finally arrived.

But as soon as she stepped inside, she froze again. There were actually two more maids in the dining room who looked exactly like the young girl from earlier! Even their smiles were completely identical.

Wang Xinrou couldn't help asking,

"Them..."

The maid smiled and explained,

"We all belong to the third-generation intelligent bionic service terminals produced by Star Ring Technology Group. Our models are identical, so we default to a unified appearance template."

"Of course, if the master has needs, personalized customization can also be carried out."

Wang Xinrou blinked. "Y... You are robots?"

She really found it hard to believe.

The young girl in front of her had fair and delicate skin, a natural expression, and even subtle emotional changes when speaking. No matter how she looked at it, there was no difference from a real person.

The maid just smiled politely. "Strictly speaking, we belong to bionic intelligent lifeforms. We possess independent learning modules and emotion simulation systems."

Wang Xinrou nodded blankly.

She looked around; she was the only person in the dining room.

"Um... Where is Fang Yun?"

"The young master has already finished breakfast and is currently handling affairs of the Divine Kingdom. However, the young master has instructed that before you and Miss Xinyu leave, we are responsible for taking care of the two of you."

"If you have any needs, please feel free to command us."
