Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1270 - 690: Sober in the Human World

Even now, the liquid capital that Gaven has at his disposal amounts to five million at most—this refers only to cash, excluding fixed assets or unsold goods, such as the Regeneration Ring Series. Up to now, Gaven has only sold the fast-healing series publicly; the more advanced versions are either consumed internally or given away as gifts, while the rest remain in his inventory. These items do not depreciate and are sometimes even more liquid than money. They’ll only be considered for liquidation when the cash flow becomes truly strained.

The speed at which Gaven generates income these days is indeed incomparable to before, so much so that he doesn’t have time to meticulously calculate how much profit his enterprises earn daily. Suffice to say, the number is extremely high—it’s no exaggeration to say he’s literally earning gold daily.

However, he spends even faster than he earns.

To Katherine, the First Chosen under Lady Strategy, Gaven donated resources worth two to three million at a single stroke.

Establishing the Conqueror Caravan cost about two million for start-up capital and supplies.

The investment in swamp husbandry and planting Styrak bush cultivation started at one million. While the Blackscaled Lizardfolk didn’t require money, purchasing and stockpiling Styrak bushes from the Komeer Kingdom did require significant funds.

The debt arising from the beast berserk incident in the King’s Forest caused by Gaven’s actions hasn’t been settled yet. However, initial estimates suggest the bill won’t fall below a million. Despite this, Gaven has no intention of paying compensation in cash and plans to settle it through supplies or reconstruction assistance instead.

This approach not only alleviates cash flow pressure but also provides an opportunity to deploy his construction crews externally. In particular, the Gnoll Construction Crew could benefit from enhanced acceptance among humans in disaster relief scenarios. This gradual integration into the Komeer Kingdom would subtly influence public perception, turning adverse situations into advantageous ones.

King Yasan did not object to this proposal, as he understood that multi-racial collaboration is a defining feature of Gaven’s faction. It is what sets him apart from others and is one of the core reasons for his rapid development. Anyone seeking to utilize Gaven’s abilities must adapt to this characteristic. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

In truth, the largest drain on liquid capital comes from Gaven’s preparation to sell war funds to the Komeer Kingdom. Before the conflict fully erupts, this portion of the funds cannot be recuperated, as the Komeer Kingdom only provides free maritime transportation services and no monetary support.

This is also why Gaven presented the second proposal to the Nimiel Village. Compared to throwing money directly at the villagers, Gaven hopes they can adopt a long-term perspective, sacrificing short-term gains for much greater future benefits.

At present, however, this idea seems far ahead of its time. The concept of co-founding a factory and earning dividends is far beyond the villagers’ comprehension. Unable to fully grasp such matters, Gaven’s insistence on pushing the proposal risks being counterproductive. In the short term, the villagers might even see him as a swindler, further hindering the establishment of the Glass Water Lamp Factory.

"Wait, everyone, don’t rush into a decision. Compared to receiving one million Golden Lions directly, I believe Lord Gaven’s second proposal is more worth considering—we could gain far greater benefits from it." The elderly Mage Haransen finally broke his lengthy silence and loudly intervened to stop the villagers from Nimiel Village.

Although he is merely an Intermediate Mage who hasn’t stepped into Transcendence, Haransen has traveled extensively and experienced much. While Gaven’s proposed business model is indeed innovative, it is not overly difficult to analyze, and he quickly identified the advantages and disadvantages of the two plans.

"Father, what nonsense are you spouting now? Do you even know what you’re saying?"

"Old Haransen, don’t ruin this rare opportunity. It’s not every day someone offers a high price for our water channels!"

"Haransen Mage, please rest—our entire village will always remember your kindness. There’s no need to meddle further; this would be your greatest contribution to our village."

"Father may be the most experienced among us, and he has never truly endangered us—at most, he’s merely made a few unintentional mistakes. Perhaps we should hear his thoughts this time."

"Let’s hear him out—it won’t hurt to listen anyway."

The villagers of Nimiel Village were now divided into two distinct factions. One faction had completely lost confidence in the elderly mage and refused to entertain his suggestions, while the other believed that, despite his flaws, Haransen had worked hard and made a significant contribution to the development of the glowing water channels. Thus, he still had some authority, which could not be entirely dismissed.

The gathered villagers weren’t just the initial few dozen able-bodied men—most of the village had now convened, surrounding the area in densely packed layers. Even the spokesperson for the group had shifted to the village’s most respected figure.

This was a quintessential village community, lacking formal administrative structures and instead governed by family-based collective autonomy. Decisions were made by clans with influence, their leaders and elders meeting to deliberate. Haransen, though marginalized, was still a member of this group.

"Would the two esteemed ones give us some time to discuss the matter and reach a unified decision?" Haransen did not rush to counter the objections but instead turned to Gaven and Miss Goser with the request.

"Alright, you have one night. I’ll return tomorrow at dawn." Gaven waved his hand, retrieved the three ornate chests, and activated a Teleportation Spell with Mother Gao Ser, disappearing instantly without a trace.
