God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 405: Three Days Straight

Golden Spike Grain was quickly processed by agricultural clerics, ground into flour, then prepared by chefs and finally brought to the tables.

When people tasted it, when it appeared in the livestream, everyone was shocked.

Wheat was currently the most delicious grain in this world and was also considered the highest-grade grain. It was mainly used to make bread for nobles to eat.

The price was quite expensive.

Ordinary people mainly ate barley, rye, oats, buckwheat, and such.

During famines or natural disasters, or the lowest-level slaves, would eat acorns, ferns, dried bean pods and other foods mixed with some grain. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

You could say that most people in this city had never eaten wheat. When they ate bread and pancakes made from Golden Spike Grain flour, they were stunned. There was actually such delicious, such fine food in this world!

They’d never imagined that Golden Spike Grain could taste this good.

But what they didn’t know was that those wealthy families and nobles were also stunned at this moment.

This Golden Spike Grain actually tasted even better than wheat.

With such huge yields, and it was still the most delicious—they seemed to already see Golden Spike Grain becoming completely popular, with almost everyone eating it.

But... didn’t that mean everyone could eat the same grain?

For traditional nobles, this was unacceptable.

They often liked to make huge distinctions from ordinary people in everything. It was like only by making distinctions could they count as nobles.

But now, nobody was thinking about these nobles’ weird thought processes. More and more people were shocked by Golden Spike Grain’s existence.

Early the next morning.

Harvesting continued.

Agricultural magic-powered machinery and manual labor started running almost simultaneously.

Although agricultural magic-powered machinery’s efficiency was extraordinary, unfortunately humans were more numerous, so when it came to harvesting, nobody knew who was actually faster.

As these grains were harvested, the Southern Development Corporation’s stock price kept rising continuously, seemingly tireless.

Close to noon, it had already reached a terrifying 0.9 gold coins per share.

You have to know that the Southern Development Corporation had completed a stock split before.

This 0.9 gold coin stock price was 90 gold coins before the split.

Already way ahead of everyone else.

After reporting the results to the livestream viewers at noon, at Viscount Roster’s signal, the convoy leader suddenly asked, "Lord Knight, what are your plans for the Southern Development Corporation in the future?"

"Of course, agriculture and magic-tech industry in parallel."

Viscount Roster said with a smile, "Agriculture solves the problem of people eating, but just solving the eating problem isn’t enough to let everyone live relatively prosperous lives, right?"

"So I’m planning to maintain agricultural development while gradually establishing some factories and such. For example, the magic-powered vehicles you’re driving—the magic-powered vehicle factory has already reached cooperation with the Southern Development Corporation to mass-produce magic-powered vehicles here."

"Producing magic-powered vehicles naturally requires companies like steel mills."

"When the entire supply chain is assembled, I estimate everyone in our Southern Territory will be able to get a decent job."

Viscount Roster chatted freely with the convoy leader, once again painting a rosy picture.

The core message was: we had a great grain harvest, we’re going to sell most of the grain and just keep enough for ourselves to eat.

The money earned from selling grain wouldn’t be wasted on living it up, but would be used to cooperate with Viscount Roster’s other company, Roster Territory Group Company, to start building factories one after another...

Agriculture, industry, mining, services... Viscount Roster precisely mentioned aspect after aspect. The convoy leader was getting a bit giddy listening, let alone the viewers in the livestream.

Who knows how many people were full of confidence and expectations for the world Viscount Roster described.

Behind Viscount Roster was the Church of Technology!

Everyone had witnessed the Church of Technology’s power firsthand.

Such a powerful force wanting to transform the world into that form, plus the Southern Grand Duke now also listened to Viscount Roster, basically meant that the Southern Development Corporation would definitely act according to Viscount Roster’s design.

This world was going crazy!

Trading ended.

The afternoon stock trading market just opened, and instantly, the Southern Development Corporation’s market value started soaring.

When it rose to 0.9 gold coins per share in the morning, many people already thought it was unbelievable. Didn’t that mean the circulating stock on the market was already worth 90 million gold coins?

Didn’t that mean the Southern Development Corporation’s actual value had reached 360 million gold coins?

Even the Emperor of the Gray Fort Empire probably didn’t have that many gold coins, right?

No, the entire Gray Fort Empire couldn’t come up with that many gold coins without touching the warehouses of those top-tier nobles.

But even so, it still seemed like it was undervalued.

As soon as the stock trading market started trading, it instantly surged a wave, directly reaching 1.2 gold coins.

Compared to when the stock was first issued, this price had already increased a hundredfold.

But the momentum didn’t seem to be slowing down. The price kept rising. Viscount Roster gradually released the shares he held and his acquaintances held. Each time he released them, he’d raise the price a tiny bit, but as long as he dared post an order, it was instantly purchased.

Just from this round of selling, Viscount Roster pocketed 27 million gold coins!

Just like that, for three days straight.

The stock kept skyrocketing.

All the Southern Development Corporation’s circulating shares in Viscount Roster’s possession had been completely sold out.

At this time, people finally realized something seemed off.

In reality, the grain prices at markets and grain vendors around them started continuously dropping.

Only then did people realize that the Southern Development Corporation held way too much farmland. With such huge yields, everyone would probably never worry about food again. At that point, how could grain prices hold up?

Seeing the stock starting to show a downward trend, Viscount Roster simply went straight for the big move.

The fourth day, around 4 PM.

After organizing some materials, Viscount Roster found the convoy leader.

Then he said to the camera, "I just got word that the Southern Development Corporation’s over 20 million acres of farms have basically been completely harvested. It’ll take some more time for the grain to be fully stored, but through estimates, we’ve roughly calculated how much grain the Southern Development Corporation holds."

"Due to Golden Spike Grain’s super strong yields and the large-scale input of druid potions, average yield per acre can reach about 2,050 pounds, which can produce about 1,780 pounds of flour."

"In other words, the Southern Development Corporation will soon possess 35.6 billion pounds of flour, enough to feed 70 million adults for a year!"
