After sending off the congratulatory guests, Zhan Lingfeng sat alone in the room.
Currently, Zhan Lingfeng was in a good mood; all his anxieties had vanished. Previously, he worried that major forces at the municipal or provincial level would come to seize his interests, but now that concern was completely unnecessary. Anyone wanting to take from him would have to be at the Central Level.
Of course, ever since the three tribulations passed, Zhan Lingfeng had noticed that his Starry World had expanded significantly, now many times larger than before, filled with immense power.
With his current combat strength, he estimated that even those Big Shots at the Central Level might not be able to defeat him.
Zhan Lingfeng looked around the Starry World; after Calamity Thunder passed, the entire Starry World had calmed down.
What surprised Zhan Lingfeng was that he had originally worried about the things planted within it disappearing. However, he now found that nothing had vanished; instead, those things appeared to be thriving and growing even more lush.
Calamity Thunder did not destroy everything inside!
This was a mysterious situation. Zhan Lingfeng did not know what caused it; it seemed as if everything here was shielded when Calamity Thunder arrived or perhaps moved to another place.
Regardless, this was truly a good thing for Zhan Lingfeng.
He quickly set aside everything here. As the old man said, he was now on a new path—one different from others, a path of Poverty Alleviation.
Since it was a path of Poverty Alleviation, he needed to take this matter seriously.
Eastern County?
Zhan Lingfeng found information regarding Eastern County and began to study it carefully.
It was a coastal area where people had always relied on fishing for their livelihood. There were hardly any crops grown there. However, due to continuous resource extraction over time, the fishing resources were now depleted, leaving the fishermen in greater poverty.
Indeed, it was a very impoverished place!
Zhan Lingfeng shook his head inwardly; making that place prosperous would not be an easy task.
However, his Beverage Factory was currently yielding good profits, allowing him to establish many Poverty Alleviation villages. He believed that with thorough research after arriving in Eastern County, he could still achieve something worthwhile.
While he was deep in thought, he heard a knock on the door.
When Zhan Lingfeng allowed someone to enter, he was immediately taken aback as he saw the Cai Family's Three Sisters walk in.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
The Three Women all performed a bow, one that was customary for a princess greeting a prince.
Zhan Lingfeng felt somewhat awkward. Although the eldest and second sisters of the Cai Family shared a certain understanding with him, the youngest sister did not have the same rapport. He had even declared her his princess, and now seeing this youthful beauty, Zhan Lingfeng's face flushed slightly.
However, what pleased Zhan Lingfeng was that the beauty named Cai Xiangyou, despite her blushing face, clearly showed genuine joy in her heart.
"Your Highness, now that you are in Eastern County, I would like to ask if we need to move our properties here as well?" Cai Xiangzhi was in a very good mood; she had not expected that she would actually become a princess.
"It’s not easy to move the properties here, so let them stay. I believe no one would dare touch my assets. You three can come by occasionally to check on them. As for the properties here, I will leave them in Ning Zhishan's care."
"Understood," she replied.
After finishing her words, Cai Xiangzhi smiled and asked, "Your Highness, when will we head to Eastern County?"
"Naturally, we will go immediately. You all should go ahead and prepare our palace."
Hearing that they would first prepare the palace, the Three Sisters were delighted and quickly agreed.
Zhan Lingfeng looked at the Three Women and said, "I did not consult you before declaring you as my princesses. I wonder if you have any objections to this matter, especially you, Cai Xiangyou."
Upon hearing Zhan Lingfeng's inquiry, Cai Xiangzhi smiled and said, "Your Highness, don’t worry. My sister has long wished for this."
Cai Xiangyou's face turned even redder as she bit her lip. Knowing this was a crucial moment and disregarding her shyness, she said, "Your Highness, I am willing."
"Good. Since you are my women, I will certainly not treat you poorly."
Cai Xiangzhi giggled and said, "Your Highness, we will take our leave now and ensure that a beautiful palace is prepared."
After the Three Women left, Zhan Lingfeng also felt amused; he had indeed taken all three Sisters under his wing!
Of course, right now, Zhan Lingfeng is not overly concerned with many things. For him, achieving the title of Dao Master is both a goal and a possibility.
Looking back at the Merit Column, Zhan Lingfeng was calculating that the First Tribulation corresponds to one village, the Second Tribulation to Thirty-Six Villages, the Third Tribulation to seventy-two villages, the Fourth Tribulation to one hundred forty-four villages, and the Fifth Tribulation to two hundred eighty-eight villages. Therefore, the Sixth Tribulation should be five hundred seventy-six villages, the Seventh Tribulation one thousand one hundred fifty-two villages, and the Eighth Tribulation, which is when he becomes part of the Emperor's Trial, would require two thousand three hundred four villages for Poverty Alleviation. Above the emperor, there exists a quasi-dao level that requires four thousand six hundred eight villages for Poverty Alleviation. Finally, when he becomes a Dao Master, it would be nine thousand two hundred sixteen villages for Poverty Alleviation, and perhaps even more, potentially reaching ten thousand villages for Poverty Alleviation.
If he didn't calculate carefully, he wouldn't worry much. However, after doing some serious calculations now, Zhan Lingfeng was somewhat shocked; he didn't expect that so many villages for Poverty Alleviation would be needed to achieve Dao Master.
It seems that he still has a long way to go!
Zhan Lingfeng could only shake his head in silence.
Looking at the situation with Merit, it was already displayed on the Merit Column.
It was evident that besides the Merit used up this time, the Merits from various villages and those earned by people would also contribute to his share. Altogether, there were actually forty villages' worth of Merit accumulated.
To reach the Sixth Tribulation requires five hundred seventy-six villages for Poverty Alleviation. This means he still needs five hundred more from Thirty-Six Villages' Poverty Alleviation to achieve this.
Given his current earnings situation and continuously investing in Poverty Alleviation efforts, he believes completing this task should not be too difficult.
Zhan Lingfeng still has confidence in his next steps for development.
Of course, Zhan Lingfeng has also discovered a new situation: it seems that the money earned from his Beverage Factory cannot fully realize his goals. He needs to explore some new avenues for making money. Only by having more income-generating projects can he continuously invest the money he earns. The most important thing is to have projects that allow the Villagers to keep obtaining benefits.
