23: Chapter 23 Inquiry Before Improving Strength

Lin Xiao naturally did not know that at this moment, a certain deity in a distant galaxy was harboring "ulterior motives" toward him.

He was currently browsing the trading section for information on pills of the five systems. These corresponded one-to-one with foundation accumulation, origin expansion, meridian clearing, and physical tempering.

Martial Dao System: great restoration pill, Five Spirit Pill, Meridian Clearing Pill, Bone Strengthening Pill.

Battle Qi System: Battle Qi Foundation Solidifying Potion, Surging Battle Source Power Potion, Battle Meridian Clearing Potion, Battle Body Bone Forging Potion.

Magic Energy System: Magic Energy Spirit Condensing Secret Potion, Abyss Magic Source Surging Potion, Magic Pattern Meridian Clearing Potion, Magic Body Tempering Potion.

Savage System: Savage Blood Settling Secret Brew, Savage Strength Heaven Swallowing Stock Solution, Savage Tendon Activating Ointment, Sturdy Bone Thick Skin Savage Ointment.

Shadow System: Nether Energy Essence Condensing Secret Dew, Nether Qi Source Surging Powder, Dark Meridian Clearing Nether Ointment, Nether Skin Essence Condensing Ointment.

Just as he had thought before, the cost of these pills and potions was ninety-five thousand per bottle.

Even if he only bought the seeds, wanting to fully stock just one type of pill would require spending 114 million. Fully stocking the four pills of one system would cost 456 million.

Then, to fully stock all five systems, it would cost a total of 2.28 billion. This was with the material costs reduced by ten times.

Normally speaking, if the buildings for all five systems were running at full capacity, producing sixty thousand bottles a day, the material cost would only be 5.7 billion.

Of course, his situation was quite special, needing to fully stock all pills for all five systems. Only this way could he conveniently switch according to his needs.

This time, Lin Xiao couldn't be bothered to buy medicinal herb seeds either; 6 billion in material costs wasn't even a fraction of his daily income.

"The daily production of each building is 12,000 bottles, and the production of five is 60,000 bottles. Pills like the great restoration pill that enhance cultivation are basically used as consumables in the early stages."

"It is mainly to maintain the daily consumption of the Believers and to provide sufficient energy support for their bodies to become stronger."

"Excluding the great restoration pill, each Believer needs to consume three pills from each system per day, which is 15 pills per day for five systems, calculated based on 100 pills per bottle."

"For one Believer, over 365 days a year, it would require 54.75 bottles of pills. My Divine Kingdom's daily settlement reward is 60,000 bottles."

"In other words, under normal circumstances, I can already support 1,095 Believers for a total of one year of Divine Kingdom time."

"Subtracting 95 people, let's round it to 1,000 people. The surplus pill quota can be used to refine a small amount of great restoration pills and other such pills used to provide energy."

Rubbing his chin, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

"As expected of Brother System. I originally thought it would take 40 days, waiting for the number of Believers to increase before I could start."

"Now it seems that once the reward is settled tomorrow, I can start formal cultivation. The normal cost is 6 billion faith points per day."

"I don't know how many days they have to eat like this to cultivate a so-called heaven-defying demigod. I'll buy two more sets of five-system buildings after the settlement tomorrow."

"Although 100 Believers can break through, since I have enough resources, there's no need to push things to the limit. I'll just have them cultivate 1,000 Believers."

"I still need to ask for the teacher's (an experienced player) opinion to see if there are any tricks to this. It's best to avoid pitfalls if I can."

He sent messages directly to his two subordinates, telling them to wait in the classroom. Then, Lin Xiao sent a message to the teacher, indicating that he had questions to ask.

As the saying goes, do not trouble two masters for one matter; regardless, he would remember this favor.

While the three were sitting in the classroom chatting about the development of their Divine Kingdoms, the figure of Teacher Tong Qian appeared on the podium.

First, she locked the virtual classroom as usual, and then she looked at Lin Xiao with some curiosity.

With the class assessment approaching, the other party hadn't made any moves for so long. She couldn't help but wonder if she had bet on the wrong person.

"Speak up, what do you need to ask?"

Wang Tao and Su Xue had already stood up when they saw the teacher. Lin Xiao was only a beat slower, and upon hearing the question, a standard faint smile hung on his face.

"It's like this, the class assessment is approaching. The number of Believers for both me and them has exceeded 10,000."

"I think it's time to start preparing to enhance the strength of the Believers. I asked the teacher to come today because I want to ask if there are any points to pay attention to when enhancing the strength of the Believers."

"Also, without considering faith points, which resources and buildings should we buy to enhance the strength of the Believers faster and more stably?"

Is it finally starting? Hearing this question, Teacher Tong Qian breathed a slight sigh of relief internally. What she feared most was the other party remaining inactive.

"I thought you would never be in a hurry. If it's just for the class assessment, if you work hard and spend more faith points, you still have a chance to catch up."

"But wanting to catch up with family descendants like the Chen family is extremely difficult. After all, it's been nearly 20 days, which is close to twenty years in the Divine Kingdom..."

She stopped at that; Teacher Tong Qian was afraid that Lin Xiao would be discouraged if he couldn't compare to the Chen family descendants later. In her view, even if he was an illegitimate son of the Lin family, he had been forgotten for so many years.

It was uncertain whether he had any family blessings, or how much he had left.

"For you, it is naturally best to take the War Path, as you are a member of the Lin family. If you want to return to the main family in the future, the support and Logistics Support paths are definitely not acceptable."

"As for the two of them, you can consider having one specifically responsible for cultivating Spirit Plants and Spirit Fruit to supply your alchemy room."

"The other one should focus on alchemy, cultivating proficient-level alchemy Believers as quickly as possible. With their full supply..."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao had to raise his hand. After receiving permission, a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"I am very sorry to interrupt your speech, Teacher, but you may have misunderstood my meaning. I do not intend for them to take the Logistics Support path."

"They are my first batch of subordinates, so they must take the War Path. Only then does it fit my identity as a member of the Lin family."

"So please take this factor into account, Teacher. Also, so that your subsequent considerations can be more comprehensive."

"Assume... ahem. I mean, assume that they, including me, all calculate consumption based on each Believer eating a full 15 pills from the five systems every day."

"Well, we are not in a hurry to break through to demigod for pills like the great restoration pill. So just treat them as an energy source..."

Hearing this, even with Teacher Tong Qian's self-control as a deity, she couldn't help but interrupt Lin Xiao's words for the first time.

"I need to interrupt. Believer cultivation concerns your future development. On this point, even the direct descendants of the Lin family dare not be the slightest bit careless."

"The assumption that Student Lin just mentioned is, in my opinion, meaningless. Rather than indulging in wishful thinking, it is better to be down-to-earth and take it one step at a time."

[Tsk, being a big tycoon but not being able to say it openly. This is really troublesome.]

Although he knew the other party was doing it for his own good, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He now had a daily income of 1.8 million divine power points.

He didn't know the situation of high-order deities, but he didn't think this daily income would be insufficient just for cultivating some Divine Beings.

That side-branch descendant of the Chen family with A-grade talent was only rewarded with 100 million at once. And himself? 1.8 million divine power points every day! This was divine power points!

He now wanted to use a massive amount of divine power points to directly smash out two ultimate heaven-defying geniuses! So faith points were never a problem.

Restraining the standard faint smile on his face, Lin Xiao's expression became serious and earnest.

"I know you are doing this for my own good, Teacher. But please believe that I value my own future more than anyone else, so please make reasonable arrangements according to the conditions I have given."

"Calculating based on 15 pills from all systems per Believer per day, and a scale of 1,000 people. Without considering faith points, which resources should be bought?"

"What buildings should be bought? And so on. I ask that you, Teacher, please provide a specific professional plan. Thank you."
