Chapter 40: Profitable Investment — blood condensing flower
Zhang Pang had already made up his mind; even if he had to sell his Divine Kingdom's resources at a 50% discount, he wouldn't care.
At most, it would only limit the development of his Divine Kingdom in the short term. As long as Yang Fan became a god in the future, he could open a grain shop in Mingyue Community just like his father, and entering the middle class wouldn't be a dream.
"No need to sell them to me at a discount. Keep the grain grown in your Divine Kingdom for your own development!" Yang Fan shook his head with a smile.
He didn't think much of the meager resources in Zhang Pang's Divine Kingdom at all.
Letting the other party become his Subordinate God wasn't based on benefits either; he just wanted to look after his best friend.
"Brother Yang, isn't that bad?" Zhang Pang was stunned.
"If you can grow spirit rice or crops that help improve the aptitude of believers, you can sell them to me then. My Divine Kingdom is developing very well; I don't need to bleed you dry for now," Yang Fan said in a serious tone.
Yang Fan grabbed the other party's right hand and connected his consciousness to the Divine Kingdom.
"Let's go through the process," Yang Fan said softly.
"God Yang Fan and God Zhang Pang sign a Subordinate God contract. Once the other party's Divine Kingdom is invaded, troops must be sent to support. Other requirements: None."
"God Yang Fan agrees."
"God Zhang Pang agrees."
A force of rules appeared in both their Divine Kingdoms. Yang Fan could feel a one-way passage appearing between his Divine Kingdom and Zhang Pang's Divine Kingdom; he could send troops to station in the other's Divine Kingdom at any time.
"Foster father, you are truly too good to me." Zhang Pang was so moved he almost shed tears.
"Get lost. Finish eating and hurry back to class. My house doesn't have an extra virtual helmet for you to use."
"Alright. Although this contract is signed, if Brother Yang has any needs, just let me know anytime. My Divine Kingdom can produce 100,000 tons of grain annually, along with some C-grade and D-grade spirit plants. Just say the word if you need anything."
After Zhang Pang left, Luo Rou looked at Yang Fan with a hint of something inexplicable in her eyes.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm a bit surprised by what you did."
"I often went to his house to bum meals when I was a kid, so I'm just helping a friend. I don't think much of his Divine Kingdom's resources anyway," Yang Fan explained.
Luo Rou shook her head: "I just feel like you seem different from what I thought."
Willing to sign such a Subordinate God contract for a friend, he didn't look like a profit-seeking person at all.
At this moment, Luo Rou felt a sliver of trust in Yang Fan. Perhaps he wasn't a scumbag who preyed on the desperate, and there really was a reason for demanding those assets back then.
Returning to the room with Luo Rou, Yang Fan put on his helmet and began today's study.
In the following days, Yang Fan's life began to stabilize.
Besides attending classes, he spent his time in the Genius Exchange Group and the God Forum. After paying the 'public grain' at night, he would check on the situation in his Divine Kingdom before resting.
Since being scolded by Luo Bing last time, Luo Mingxuan rarely spoke in the group.
To fully utilize resources, Yang Fan would directly post questions in the group whenever he had doubts about the development of his Divine Kingdom, not caring at all if others said he was ignorant.
By being so humble and eager to learn, Yang Fan actually obtained quite a bit of useful information.
Ten days passed, and a hundred years had already passed within Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom.
Supplied with blood pills and a large amount of taisui meat, the believer population was slowly recovering over these hundred years, and there were even several more Tier 1 Beings.
"Believers: Tier 1 Being (14), Mortal (100,000)"
Yang Fan understood that with the current resources in his Divine Kingdom, the believer population would continue to grow, but all of this would take time.
Virtual World, Yang County Genius Exchange Group.
"I received some news. The war with the alien gods on the front line is extremely fierce. The demand for the healing medicine 'Top-Quality Hemostatic Powder' is huge, and this medicine requires a D-grade spirit plant, the blood condensing flower. It will be profitable in the short term."
"Brother Li, where did you get this news? What is the rate of return?"
"My grandfather's senior brother on the front line told me."
Yang Fan watched the chat content in the group, already accustomed to it.
Even children of big families were often keen on Divine Kingdom investments; after all, no one ever had enough Faith Points.
"The blood condensing flower is simple to cultivate; it only needs to be planted in fertile soil. It just has a long cycle, requiring 200 years in the Divine Kingdom. I heard from my grandfather that the shortage of this blood condensing flower might not be filled within a year. Once planted, you can harvest at least twice the excess profit. This investment has high returns and low risk; it is definitely worth a try."
Seeing this, Yang Fan's expression gradually became serious.
A crop that is simple to cultivate with a long growth cycle—isn't this just perfect for him?
Thinking of this, Yang Fan immediately went to the mall to check.
"blood condensing flower seeds X10,000, selling price 100,000 Faith Points.
Merchant's note: Simple to sow, but this flower needs sufficient sunlight and water, so the Planting density is extremely sparse. It requires large-scale reclamation of farmland, and the maturity cycle is 200 years in the Divine Kingdom."
"Mature blood condensing flower X10,000 plants, selling price 300,000 Faith Points, D-grade spirit plant (restocking)."
Seeing this, Yang Fan already believed more than half of what that person said earlier.
200 days in reality, with a profit rate as high as 200%. With the blessing of his tenfold Evolution Talent, Yang Fan only needed 20 days to harvest a round.
Yang Fan's eyes grew brighter and brighter. If utilized properly, he might be able to take this opportunity to make a fortune from the war.
At this moment, a message popped up in the exchange group again.
"I just checked, the news is probably true, but the growth cycle of 200 days in the real world is still too long, and it requires large-scale reclamation of wasteland, which is a bit troublesome."
"Exactly. If you invest too little, it's pointless. If you plant on a large scale, it might severely damage the Divine Kingdom's ecological environment. I'm torn."
"I just placed an order for the seeds. I'm planning to let my Subordinate God plant them. With such a high rate of return, I'll take 90% of the profits, and he'll still make money."
"That makes sense. It's a pity my Subordinate God's focus is animal husbandry and forging; I'm afraid I can't do much with this investment."
Although this message sparked discussion, the heat passed quickly due to the growth cycle of the blood condensing flower and the trouble of reclaiming the Divine Kingdom.
Yang Fan didn't continue to stare at the messages in the group, but instead began to search the God Forum for posts related to Top-Quality Hemostatic Powder and the blood condensing flower.
After verifying the information from multiple sources, Yang Fan no longer hesitated and directly dumped 40 million Faith Points into it.
The first investment was a full 4 million seeds.
After obtaining the resource card, Yang Fan immediately loaded it into his Divine Kingdom and issued a Divine Oracle.
"My believers, for the next period, you must send out all adult males to reclaim all suitable flat land into farmland. Then, plant the blood condensing flower seeds. This flower needs sufficient sunlight and water, and it has a huge growth volume, so there must be a minimum distance of 10 meters between each seed."
"We obey the Divine Oracle."
Even if the believers didn't understand the god's actions, they would not disobey.
The environment in the Divine Kingdom was not all suitable for farming. Besides forests and mountains, there were also large areas of ocean and river basins.
Because Yang Fan hadn't developed in the direction of Planting, the reclaimed farmland was very scattered. It took nearly 100,000 believers several years to reclaim enough area to satisfy the Planting of these 4 million seeds.
It was a full 50,000 square kilometers.
Seeing this scene, Yang Fan couldn't help but sigh: "I thought this area of 1 million square kilometers was already big enough, but it's still not enough."
As a god, Yang Fan naturally knew roughly how much arable land there was in his Divine Kingdom. If he let the believers continue to reclaim land, they could at most clear out another 50,000 square kilometers.
In that case, he could sow a maximum of 8 million blood condensing flower seeds at one time, which meant 80 million in capital.
