5: Chapter 5 Improving the Ecological Cycle

He spoke to his smart watch: "Set an alarm for me, reminding me once every hour."

"Alarm has been set, reminder time is once every hour."

One day in the outside world was one year in the Divine Kingdom; in the early stage, he certainly didn't dare to let these believers develop completely unmonitored.

For the Divine Kingdom to develop, population was the primary resource. Subsequent sources of Faith Value, Divine Kingdom wars, and even the improvement of his own strength all relied on the believers' strength.

Therefore, the more population there was, the higher the probability of geniuses appearing, and the faster the speed of civilization's progress would be.

Although his father had given him a large amount of resources, there were actually still many detailed resources and issues that had not been resolved.

For instance, the Divine Kingdom was currently filled with a massive number of herbivores. Aside from the thousand believers within the Divine Kingdom, they had no natural predators at all. Heaven knows what they might develop into.

Moreover, with the blessing of his [Abundance] talent, the growth rate of fauna and flora within the Divine Kingdom increased by 50%.

Therefore, he had to introduce a certain number of carnivores to suppress the Qingye Rabbit herds and Moonlight-Patterned Deer herds, preventing their numbers from expanding too much, which would otherwise eat up the grasslands and damage the Divine Kingdom's ecology.

Logically speaking, his father should have known this, yet he didn't equip him with them. Could it be a deliberate test for him?

Fang Yun didn't think too much about it. Anyway, besides those resources on hand, he had also additionally acquired early-stage development funds: one million Faith Value.

This was enough for him to pick whatever he wanted in the virtual mall.

He directly tapped his smart watch, and his consciousness instantly arrived inside the virtual space. Within the virtual space, as long as one had coordinates, they could teleport to any place.

Coordinates for places like malls were public and allowed direct teleportation to the entrance, whereas some private buildings were confidential and could not be entered unless invited by the other party.

Fang Yun did not choose to go straight to the mall; instead, he directly teleported to the ancestral territory of the Fang Family within the virtual space, where he also had his own exclusive room.

Opening the online mall directly, the dazzling array of goods left him dazzled.

"Citizen Fang Yun detected logging into the mall. Target identity: high school student."

"Citizen authority: low-level."

"Goods within authority have been filtered. Happy shopping."

Fang Yun didn't mind the prompt. According to differences in citizen talents and strength, the Federation naturally had its own set of rating methods.

Moreover, due to the strategic value and rarity of certain items, the sale of many goods was restricted by authority.

If your authority was insufficient, you didn't even have the qualification to know about them.

The mall Fang Yun logged into was the largest mall in the Federation, the Alliance Mall.

"Recommend E-grade carnivorous animals suitable for a newcomer pioneering a Divine Kingdom for me."

"Please wait a moment. 1325 matching animals have been found for you. After sorting, the following three are recommended to you first."

"Shadow Wind Wolf, E-grade carnivorous animal. Moves swiftly, takes herbivores as its main food, and its fur can be used as material for making clothes."

"Quantity: 1000, selling price: 10,000 Faith Value."

"Red-tailed Nether Fox, E-grade carnivorous animal, mainly feeds on rabbits while also capturing rodents. Its fur can be used as material for making clothes. Quantity: 1000, selling price: 20,000 Faith Value."

"Black-feathered Eagle, E-grade carnivorous animal, predator of the sky, huge in size, feeds on herbivores. Hot-selling product for novice Divine Kingdom pioneers. Quantity: 500, selling price: 10,000 Faith Value."

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yun chose to purchase 1,000 Red-tailed Nether Foxes and 1,000 Black-feathered Eagles.

He didn't buy the Shadow Wolves. Firstly, he already had Red-tailed Nether Foxes; introducing Shadow Wolves as well might even lead to mutual slaughter between the two, which was not what Fang Yun wanted to see.

He was only doing this to control the number of herbivores and had no need for such complications. Furthermore, supplementing the sky with Black-feathered Eagles would combine nicely with the terrestrial Red-tailed Nether Foxes to jointly curb the numbers of Qingye Rabbits and Moonlight-Patterned Deer.

Next, he continued filtering resources. Although he hadn't developed very well in his past life, avoiding the pitfalls he had stepped on before wasn't much of a problem.

"Help me search for insect resource cards from F-grade to D-grade, requiring them to promote ecological circulation and complete the food chain, including terrestrial and aquatic organisms."

"Searching, please wait. 529 creatures have been found for you. Based on your situation, the following creatures are recommended."

"E-grade Pollen Bee, helps with pollination, increases plant yield. Quantity: 1,000, selling price: 5,000 Faith Value."

"E-grade Black Soil Ant and Red-line Earthworm, improve soil, increase soil fertility. Quantity: 1,000 each, bundled for sale at 10,000 Faith Value."

"D-grade Decomposition Insect, feeds on rotting corpses and decaying matter, cleans up the environment, avoids the generation of diseases. Quantity: 10,000, selling price: 10,000 Faith Value."

"F-grade aquatic organisms, Long-bearded Shrimp and Blue-armored Crab. Blue-armored Crabs are omnivorous animals, while Long-bearded Shrimps can reproduce quickly and feed on microorganisms, algae, etc. Quantity: 5,000 each, bundled for sale at 5,000 Faith Value."

With a wave of his hand, Fang Yun directly purchased 5,000 Pollen Bees, 10,000 Black Soil Ants, 10,000 Red-line Earthworms, 50,000 Decomposition Insects, 10,000 Long-bearded Shrimps, and Blue-armored Crabs, spending a total of 165,000 Faith Value.

In addition, he bought 10 D-grade Population Breeding Cards, which could increase population reproduction speed by 100% and reduce newborn mortality by 50%, costing 100,000 Faith Value.

Now, adding his previous living expenses, he only had about 800,000 Faith Value left in hand.

He did not continue purchasing. He prepared to wait with the remaining Faith Value to see what kind of dice tomorrow's Destiny Magic Dice would refresh, which would determine how he used the subsequent funds.

After all, the family's investment in each person during the early stage was only this once. Unless they showed extraordinary potential later on, it would be impossible to continue receiving investments.

After exiting the virtual space, Fang Yun immediately distributed the purchased insect resources evenly across the grasslands, farmlands, and forests.

The Red-tailed Nether Foxes and Black-feathered Eagles were all released onto the grasslands to curb herbivores.

The Blue-armored Crabs and Long-bearded Shrimps were released into the eastern fishery. After using a D-grade Population Breeding Card, Fang Yun contentedly reviewed his Divine Kingdom.
