107: Chapter 107 Daily Revenue Soars: 1.6 Billion!

"Alright, you're right. Price is indeed an issue at the moment; let's discuss this again in a few days..."

Temporarily setting this issue aside, Lin Xiao checked the online discussions for a while longer. He discovered that even after he had released a statement, there were still people constantly smearing and attacking him.

He instructed Jiang Ling to record the IDs of these people and, after confirming their identities with the county magistrate, block them all.

The temple had been busy until late at night. By the end of the day, the final number of registered people had reached a staggering 1.3 million.

Just past midnight, the System settlement arrived on time.

[Divine Kingdom Believers: First-order (80,000), Second-order (15,000), Unranked 400,000,034. Reward: 4.3 divine power points]

[Divine Kingdom Resources: Mortal Realm top-tier Medicinal Pill, 350,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, marrow cleansing pill, Law fragment]

[Subordinate Deities: 1.3 million (omitted), Total divine power points reward: 31 million, Mortal Realm beast meat, Spirit Rank beast meat, Medicinal Pill, Puppet, Magical Artifact, Mortal Realm equipment, Law fragment (omitted)]

"It really is just as I guessed. The divine power points from the Believers alone are enough to cover all expenses with a large surplus left over..."

Skipping the divine power points, Lin Xiao began to organize the resource harvest. The ordinary first, second, and third-order resources accounted for 70% of all resources.

According to market prices, the total value of these 70% of resources was about 300 million divine power points. The remaining 30% of Spirit Rank resources were worth a full 1.5 billion!

If all these resources were sold, after deducting 10% in taxes, Lin Xiao could net a full 1.6 billion or so!

Although he had long guessed that the harvest would be extremely lucrative, after actually finishing the calculations, Lin Xiao was still shocked by the settlement rewards for this day.

"1.6 billion divine power points in a single day, and this is just Anping County. If I were to go to those first-tier or even super first-tier Star Domains, how much would there be? If I could get all the Intermediate Gods, or even High-rank Gods, to register at my temple, how many resources would be settled in a single day?"

Thinking about a day in the future when his temples would cover the entire Divine Realm, Lin Xiao felt a bit breathless. If that were truly the case, he alone could buy the entire Divine Realm!

Of course, he also knew this was just the most ideal state. If he really dared to do that, he was certain that countless top-tier Families would come to cause him trouble that very day.

With only resources and no strength, he would just be a piece of fat meat in the eyes of others.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiao immediately sent a message to all his subordinates in his mind.

"Everyone, come to the meeting hall on the second floor. There are some things we need to discuss."

Soon, deities like Pavilion Master Yan Yao and Divine Beings like Hu Rong all appeared in the meeting hall on the second floor, not a single one missing.

Meng Ning and the other deities looked very serious at this moment. With the Lord calling them all over so late, he must have already made some plans.

Lin Xiao's gaze swept across the faces of these subordinates one by one; these people would be his core team in the future.

"Thank you all for your hard work yesterday. I know you are all anxious about what is about to happen today. There are some things that are difficult for me to explain clearly to you, and I don't really want to explain these things either. In my opinion, no amount of explanation is as reassuring as action."

"I previously promised you that I would reward those whose Believers improved the fastest and who had the largest scale. Although it hasn't been long, since I said it, I must honor it! Let's start calculating the rewards now."

Meng Ning and the others didn't expect the Lord to suddenly mention this matter at this time. If Lin Xiao hadn't brought it up now, they would have forgotten about it.

The statistics were completed quickly: Jiang Ling was first, Pavilion Master Yan Yao was second, Jiang Meng was third, and Meng Ning only managed to get sixth.

"First place, one complete Divine Artifact. Second place, 2 million divine power points. Third place, 1 million divine power points. Fourth to tenth, 200,000 divine power points each!"

As Lin Xiao spoke, he took out the rewards and distributed them. Jiang Ling stared at the Divine Artifact in his hand, his eyes wide.

Even Meng Ning, who only managed to get 200,000 divine power points, was somewhat excited at this moment. 200,000 divine power points was not a small amount, even for him.

Those deities who didn't make the top ten couldn't help but feel envious, and internally, they couldn't help but secretly regret it. If they had known the rewards would be distributed in such a short time, they definitely would have put in more effort.

"First, congratulations to those who successfully received their rewards. For those who didn't, don't be discouraged, because our next activity is about to begin!"

"The events that happened earlier made me see our shortcomings. Just a single Third-order Deity almost forced us into a desperate situation. This feeling is simply terrible, so it is time for us to improve our strength. Meng Ning, as a First-order Deity, with full benefits provided, how many divine power points do you think you need per day? Hmm, or let me ask it another way: how many divine power points per day do you think would allow you to quickly improve your Realm without any worries? It's not just Meng Ning; everyone can share their thoughts."

Lin Xiao's words left his subordinates feeling a bit confused, but since he asked, everyone started thinking carefully.

After thinking for a while, a wry smile appeared on Meng Ning's face.

"Lord, your question is too general. After all, for anyone, the more divine power points, the better. There are ways to spend thousands a day, and ways to spend tens of thousands. Even hundreds of thousands, if one were truly willing, could be spent. So..."

"That is indeed true, Lord. The expenditure of divine power points is actually directly proportional to the improvement in strength. The more you spend, the faster the Divine Kingdom develops, and the faster the Believers' strength improves. Take Divine Artifacts, for example; if the Believers didn't consider the consumption of the Divine Artifacts, their insights could actually be faster, but in that case, just maintaining the Divine Artifacts would require consuming tens of thousands of divine power points..."

Listening to the deities explaining all at once, Lin Xiao pressed his hand down, then gestured with his chin towards Wang Tao.

"Wang Tao, you tell everyone how much your Believers need to consume every day now."

Wang Tao, who was in the back, clearly didn't expect to be suddenly called upon. After being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly answered.

"Previously, one thousand Believers consumed a fixed 60 divine power points worth of Medicinal Pills daily. The Lord now has me not forget the cultivation of other Believers. Adding the consumption of the other 400 million Believers now, I have to consume over 100 divine power points daily..."

"Hiss!" Hu Rong and the other Divine Beings couldn't help but gasp when they heard this. It seemed Wang Tao was only a Divine Being right now, right?

With Believers who hadn't even reached the Third-order, in this situation, he was actually consuming 10 billion faith points every day?

10 billion faith points every day—even the direct descendants of their Families who were key cultivation targets wouldn't dare to spend like this!

Actually, this was still without counting the Magical Artifacts, Puppets, Talismans, and other resources Lin Xiao had given him. Not to mention things like Spiritual Veins.
