Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 371 Leisure
As the chairman of the War Committee and the highest authority in the federal government, arranging a top-of-the-line laboratory for Chen Yunye would not have been difficult.

Moreover, long before the violent energy factors of that bottle of "divine water" became ineffective outside the fog, Ji Fuyou and Fang Qiyun had already begun preparations to delve deeper into the power of the divine water. Currently, the relevant personnel, equipment, and funds are all ready.

Chen Yunye can directly enter the laboratory.

Whether he can subdue other industry experts and truly take control of the laboratory depends on his personal abilities.

……

Ji Fuyou did not return to Yunjing Garden immediately, but instead went to the office of the Heavenly Ranking Committee.

"This is the spirit crystal refining technique compiled by Chen Yunye."

Fang Qiyun said, "I have had the relevant people calculate that although the technical difficulty is not high, the cost is not low. It costs more than a million to refine one spirit crystal... It is not something that ordinary people can afford."

"million……"

The population of Dalian is 16 billion.

Even if we exclude minors and the elderly, the number of people who could potentially enter the Realm of the Gods still exceeds 10 billion.

If we were to equip everyone with the Void God Realm helmet centered around spirit crystals, the final investment cost would be...

1000 trillion!

Even selling the entire Shang Dynasty wouldn't raise that much money.

"Try to reduce costs as much as possible. Also... I heard you say that the Griffin Republic and the Black Gold Empire have both sent delegations, wanting to introduce the technology from the Void God Realm?"

Ji Fuyou inquired.

"Yes, especially the griffins. During this period, tens of thousands of people have tried to enter the country and come to Chiyang City, just to experience whether the Void God Realm is really that magical."

Fang Qiyun smiled as she spoke, "And the final result was a pleasant surprise to everyone."

After listening, Ji Fuyou sensed the Void God Realm briefly.

As the master of the Void God Realm, he could perceive the spiritual fluctuations of the entire Void God Realm with a mere thought.

Total quantity...

"123,117 people?"

Ji Fuyou was somewhat surprised.

12 people were online at the same time.

Although at first glance he couldn't distinguish which were Federation people, which were Griffin people, and which were Black Gold people, among these 12 people, those who provided relatively large amounts of high-quality mental energy accounted for nearly 1%.

The number of master-level spiritual beings has exceeded 100.

A great deal of information was also provided.

"Everyone has already experienced the wonders of the Void God Realm. There is no need for further promotion. All mental power users spontaneously want to enter it. Ordinary people who have not cultivated mental power are also under the temptation of the system and have devoted almost all their energy to meditation."

Fang Qiyun said.

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuyou quickly replied, "Since we have enough personnel... the technology of the Void God Realm will remain within the territory of Da Shang for the time being. We will not release it to Griffin and Black Gold for now, but we will grant visa-free entry to spiritual beings from both countries, allowing them to enter and leave Da Shang and experience the Void God Realm."

After saying that, he added, "This time, the Northern Kingdom, Griffin, and Black Gold not only compensated us with a lot of Source Crystals, but I also focused on their Limitless Profound Crystal resources. Therefore, I will try my best to set up base stations in more than a dozen first- and second-tier cities in China to ensure that people can freely enter and exit the Void God Realm in more than a dozen first- and second-tier cities."

"That would be perfect."

Fang Qiyun said, "Although spiritual beings don't have a bad status, not all of them can stay in Chiyang and Xingguang for a long time without working. They also need to work and go to work. And their status... makes it possible for them to settle down in first- or second-tier cities."

She smiled and said, "If the Virtual God Realm were to cover all first- and second-tier cities across the country, more than 80% of spiritual beings would be qualified to enter the Virtual God Realm at will. At that time, the peak number of active users could probably reach 200,000."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

He continued, "Spirit crystals... should be produced as soon as possible. The first batch should be priced at 1000 million. I believe that once the refining technology is mature, there will be room to reduce costs. As for the helmets of the Void God Realm made from these spirit crystals, there is no need to give them away for free. People will not cherish them if they are free. So, we will price them at around 50."

"50?"

Fang Qiyun was taken aback: "Isn't that too high? Many people in China simply can't afford 50..."

“Our first batch consisted of only 1000 million Virtual God Realm helmets, which were targeted at less than 1% of users.”

Ji Fuyou said, "In addition, the Void God Realm helmet is not bound to any particular type of helmet. Ordinary people have limited energy and cannot stay in the Void God Realm for a long time. It can be used by families in rotation."

Fang Qiyun considered the issues of production capacity and cost...

50 is indeed a reduction in costs for the people.

"In addition, 100 million of the final batch of Void God Realm helmets will be sold to foreigners at a price of 500 million."

Ji Fuyou said, "I believe that with this price comparison, the Federation will be able to accept the price of 50 very quickly."

500 million!
The price is very high!

But a single white spiritual crystal costs as much as 100 million!

Although the price of low-level source crystals has dropped due to the surge in the number of hunters, the lowest trading price for white spiritual source crystals this month still exceeds 5000 million, which is 10 times the price of a Void God Realm helmet.

A single white spiritual crystal may not be enough to directly cultivate spiritual power, but it can grant entry into the Void God Realm...

However, the probability of developing mental strength will increase significantly.

Those foreign tycoons naturally know which is more important and which is less important.

"I will personally oversee this matter and see the finished product of the Void God Realm Helmet as soon as possible."

Fang Qiyun responded.

"Not in a hurry."

Ji Fuyou said, "Gather our forces and let's take down that biological laboratory inside the connecting passage to Ten Thousand Snake Valley."

Then, he thought of something: "This time, call Chen Yunye along."

"Aren't you... going to rest for a bit?"

Fang Qiyun hesitated for a moment.

"Time waits for me."

Ji Fuyou shook his head.

"The Heavenly Ranking War?"

Fang Qiyun thought of the competition that was about to begin in less than a month and couldn't help but wonder: "It's said that the first round of the Heavenly Ranking War isn't very difficult. With your seventh-level strength, Captain, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Why..."

“Seventh rank…” Ji Fuyou did not refute.

In reality, if we take into account the power of authority, his actual combat strength should be considered to be at the eighth rank.

but……

Authority cannot ultimately be used as a regular means; it can be considered a near-eighth-order or top-tier seventh-order power.

Theoretically, a Tier 6 squad could survive the first round of the Heavenly Ranking War.

His top-tier seventh-tier status is comparable to three or four sixth-tier squads, making him truly infallible.

but……

In the Heavenly Ranking War, if there is such an extraordinary being as him, then there can't be any other equally extraordinary figures.

For example, the Mountain and Sea Realm had a total of eight eleventh-level cultivators in the fifth round of the Heavenly Ranking War, yet they still suffered a crushing defeat.

therefore……

"Strength is never enough."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Thinking of the Mountain and Sea Realm, he couldn't help but think of the Griffin Kingdom and the Black Gold Kingdom.

To this day, their two countries only have one or two sixth-tier Martial Saints, and with such strength, there is almost no chance of them withstanding the Heavenly Ranking War.

At that moment, Ji Fuyou said again: "Send a message to the martial saints of the two countries, and I will allow them to download all the cultivation experiences and insights of the Heaven-Man Interaction, on the condition that they also upload all their own cultivation experiences."

He added in a deep voice, "They should know that time is running out."

Fang Qiyun nodded upon hearing this: "I was just about to tell you about this. The delegations from the Griffin and Black Gold countries raised this issue and said they were willing to pay a sufficient price. However, we were just discussing the matter of spirit crystals, so I haven't had a chance to say anything yet."

"It seems that the leaders of both countries are somewhat aware of the situation."

Ji Fuyou said, "The Heavenly Ranking War is a calamity for the entire Crimson Star. If we cannot put aside our prejudices, unite as one, and overcome the crisis together at this time... then they are truly beyond saving."

Fang Qiyun nodded.

Next, the two discussed the personnel needed to go to the real and fake laboratory.

Afterwards, Fang Qiyun gathered his men and went to collect them.

Ji Fuyou finally had time to return to Yunjing Garden.

In Yunjing Garden, Ji Qingqing is instructing Lu Jianxi on how to film an instructional video about Danjin cultivation.

Lu Xingchen, who was practically the head steward of the Ji family, watched from afar, protecting the safety of Yunjing Garden.

On the lawn further away, Yu Xiaoyu was pushing a small cart, taking Ji Xinghe to bask in the sun, chatting occasionally with Lu Yao, Yu Ling, and another woman beside her.

Ji Fuyou recognized the woman after a moment; she was Yi Qingyu.

Su Zhen's wife.

In Starlight City, they mostly had Su Zhen, who had become a high-level mental energy user, and Jiang Yubai and others handle the trivial matters. Over time, their relationship naturally became much closer.

However, as Ji Fuyou got out of the car and walked over, almost everyone stopped what they were doing and came to greet him.

"Mr. Ji."

"Xiaoyou."

"Mr. Ji."

"Floating".

People came up one by one to greet him.

Ji Fuyou nodded slightly in response.

Next, they came to the stroller and looked at Ji Xinghe, who had grown up a bit and was quite adorable.

"Thanks for your hard work."

He said something to Yu Xiaoyu.

"Compared to your protection of the safety of the entire Chu Province, what we have done is just a trivial matter."

Yu Xiaoyu said.

While teasing Ji Xinghe, Ji Fuyou asked Ji Qingqing, "Is everything alright at home?"

"No."

Ji Qingqing said, "If it weren't for the occasional news about mist and strange beasts, this kind of life would be the perfect realization of my dream life."

"Mist, alien beasts? You don't need to worry about these things... In the future, pay less attention to information in this area, and don't cause yourselves unnecessary conflict."

"I know."

But how can we not truly pay attention?

Ji Qingqing responded.

She naturally didn't say the second half.

As the chairperson of the War Committee, Ji Fuyou was obviously someone who specialized in dealing with fog, alien beasts, and even the Heavenly Ranking War. Since her close relative was engaged in this industry and was the main person in charge, how could she not learn about the relevant information?

"Your most important task is to live your own lives well. Only then will everything I do be meaningful and valuable."

Ji Fuyou smiled at Ji Qingqing.

“I understand. We are doing really well now. In our spare time, we post videos and occasionally teach at the First Martial Arts University of Chuzhou. It’s very comfortable.”

As Ji Qingqing spoke, a smile appeared on her face.

This is indeed the kind of life she wants.

"That's good."

Ji Fuyou stayed at home for a day.

Fang Qiyun and the others did not disturb him at all that day, which was quite rare.

The next morning, she sent word that everyone had arrived and was ready to depart at his command.
