The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

Zeng Shen knew from the information provided by Mo Si that the main currency circulating on his home planet was Abyss Credits, not Divine Source Coins.

However, the importance of Divine Source Coins far surpasses that of Abyss Credits.

After all, each Divine Source Coin is mined and refined from a rare and special Divine Source Mine formed after the core of a planet that nurtures billions of divine energies erupts.

As for its function, it is naturally not as simple as being a currency.

Instead, it's about enhancing the potential of the divine realm.

Each deity can invest a certain amount of Divine Source Coins into their own Divine Realm based on its potential level, thereby integrating them into the Divine Realm and increasing its potential by 1 point.

Therefore, in the world of gods, Divine Source Coins became the only universally accepted hard currency that circulated between different boundary universes, equivalent to gold in the ordinary world.

One gram of Divine Source Coin can be exchanged for 2000 to 2500 Abyss Credits on Abyss Star, depending on the market conditions, which is equivalent to more than 2,000 yuan in purchasing power.

After Zeng Shen sent Xiao Ai a complete list of materials needed to build the monitoring starship via WeChat, Xiao Ai opened it, looked up, and asked:
"Master, do you want to go to Abyss Star to buy these materials?"

“That’s right. Help me calculate how many Divine Source Coins this would cost on Abyss Star,” Zeng Shen nodded and said.

"Okay, Master, please wait a moment," Xiao Ai said, her eyes gleaming with an electronic light. Strings of digital codes kept surging from the depths of her pupils as she began to calculate frantically, combining this with information about prices on Abyss Star.

Zeng Shen's consciousness slightly focused, and he opened the divine realm gate located in the river stream pool.

Inside the Gate of the Gods, by the river and pond, the green lizard girl Xini'er and others were chatting while picking buds of the flowering fir.

Upon seeing the gate to the divine realm appear, and Zeng Shen standing across it, they immediately exclaimed happily, "Master!"

"Master," the green lizard girl, Xini'er, called out happily as well.

"Okay, everyone stop what you're doing and come out," Zeng Shen said.

"Yes, Master."

Xini'er and her people immediately jumped off the back of the monstrous dragon, and then followed Bai Xia and Bai Ying out of the gate of the divine realm. They filled the entire reception room, their eyes curiously glancing at everything around them, as well as the windows outside the twenty-story building.

"Master, is this your home planet?" Xini'er asked, looking at the buildings outside the window.

"Correct."

"Strange, Master, why is there no aura of divine energy on your home planet?" Xini'er asked, puzzled.

"Because it will be several months before the master's home planet erupts with divine energy to help the master become a god. Now, I have called you out so that before the divine energy erupts, you can follow Little Di to learn about the master's home planet and use the electronic technology here."

Zeng Shen paused slightly as he spoke, then took out a box of unopened Huawei phones from his backpack. Using his telekinesis, he distributed one to each of them, saying, "These are phones. Xiao Di, you teach them how to use them, and have them apply for WeChat to join the core group. Then download information about this world." Xiao Di nodded, took out her own Huawei phone, and said, "Sisters, I'm Tina, a member of the Machine Race. I'll now teach you how to use the phone. Press and hold this button to turn it on, and then..."

While Xiao Di was teaching the Green Lizard Girl and Bai Xia and Bai Ying how to use mobile phones to learn about the Blue Star world, Xiao Ai had also calculated the construction cost of a monitoring starship on the Abyss Star:
"Master, these materials will cost a total of 100 million Divine Source Coins, which is equivalent to 2000 Divine Source Coins to build a surveillance starship."

"What? So many!" Zeng Shen exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Ai thought for a moment and suggested, "Master, if you expand the raw material refining in the Lingnan region of the Divine Realm, you can reduce the cost even further."

“Production capacity must be expanded, but I need to collect these raw materials as quickly as possible before the divine energy erupts, so that Lisa can build a global surveillance starship. Calculate for me how many Divine Source Coins I can exchange for these on Abyss Star.”

As Zeng Shen spoke, he took out a 100-unit divine energy card, a divine energy rocket launcher, a divine energy chariot, and a small weather station card from his divine realm and placed them in front of Alice.

Looking at these cards, Xiao Ai quickly retrieved and stored the information about the prices of goods on Abyss Star into the mechanical core, and then said: "Master, two Divine Energy Cards can be exchanged for 1 Divine Source Coin, a Divine Energy Rocket Launcher Card can be exchanged for 3 Divine Source Coins, a Divine Energy Chariot Card can be exchanged for 10 Divine Source Coins, and a Small Weather Station Card can be exchanged for 10 Divine Source Coins."

"I heard from Hua Kali that the small weather station is stuck on their home planet and hardly ever goes out. How come it can only be exchanged for 10 Divine Source Coins?" Zeng Shen asked in confusion.

“Master, there are alternatives with similar functions, but at a lower price. Therefore, this miniature weather station on Abyss Star has more collectible value than practical value,” Xiao Ai said.

"Okay, I understand. Now check the exchange prices of these white cards." Zeng Shen said, opening the exchange shop and starting to exchange the white cards he had drawn.

Xiao Ai looked at the cards Zeng Shen had taken out and said, "Small Iron Ore Card, 2 Divine Source Coins; Divine Energy Smelting Copper Furnace, 8 Divine Source Coins; Small Copper Ore Card, 3 Divine Source Coins; Small Silver Ore Card, 4 Divine Source Coins; Small Jadeite Ore Card, 3 Divine Source Coins; Pheasant Chick Card, 0.02 Divine Source Coins; Bull Card, 1 Divine Source Coin; 5 Intelligent Mining Vehicles, 1 Divine Source Coin; Space Warehouse, 10 Divine Source Coins; Small Multifunctional Mining and Refining Machine, 1 Divine Source Coin; Intelligent Mechanical Worker, 6 Divine Source Coins."

After Zeng Shen listened to Xiao Ai report the exchange prices of all his white cards and several special green cards, he exchanged them all.

He began to mentally calculate which white or green card to use to exchange for Divine Source Coins at the same price as Hua Kali, and then exchange those for raw materials.

Soon, he set his sights on small iron ore cards and bull cards.

“A small iron ore card has 380 survival points, which can be exchanged for 2 divine source coins. That means 190 survival points can be exchanged for 1 divine source coin. On the other hand, a bull card has 180 survival points, which can be exchanged for 1 divine source coin.”

"It seems like it's more worthwhile to use the Bull Card to exchange for Divine Source Coins, since it costs 1000 survival points to draw a card."

Zeng Shen muttered to himself, then shook his head and said, "No, the calculation doesn't seem to work that way. I need a lot of Divine Source Coins, not just a few, but 100 million Divine Source Coins. So I need at least 18000 million Survival Points."

"Damn it, with so many survival points, I might as well draw high-quality cards to exchange for them; that would definitely be more cost-effective."

Think of this.

Zeng Shen opened his Divine Realm interface, glanced at his nearly 90 survival points, and while summoning the Purple Card Lottery Wheel to draw high-quality cards, he said to Xiao Ai, "Xiao Ai, draw up a production capacity plan for the Lingnan Industrial Zone for me. All raw materials should be produced at least 500 per day."

"Yes, Master." (End of Chapter)
