Once a family loses adult labor, it can have serious effects on the family’s operation.

The Cleaner Division definitely can’t sit idly by, they need to provide funds to address the issue.

With a reported loss of 90 billion Dragon Rising Coins, the Sanitation Workers Headquarters could only provide 60 billion Dragon Rising Coins for post-disaster reconstruction.

The remaining 30 billion would have to be secured by themselves.

As a Spirit Forging Master, Feng Lin should have ample funds.

However, Feng Lin had invested all her savings into research on Vine Beasts, hoping to cultivate special Vine Beasts to remediate polluted lands.

Even if Feng Lin hadn’t been cultivating these Vine Beasts, she couldn’t possibly fund the gap with her own money.

The more Feng Lin thought about it, the more worried she became. Suddenly, she thought of Fang Mu, who was sitting in front of her.

Feng Lin tentatively asked Fang Mu.

“Fang Mu, how much money can you provide? I would like to negotiate a deal on behalf of the JingHai Province’s Cleaner Division.”

Feng Lin’s intention to draw on Fang Mu was not to take advantage of him.

Many resources collected by the Cleaner Division could be discounted to Fang Mu.

The 30 billion funding gap was too large. If they were to go to the coastal merchants and other established forces in Jinghai Province,

somewhat like the Coastal Merchants would definitely be willing to help.

However, these forces are relatively greedy, and once they converted resources into financial aid, it would mean greater losses for the Cleaner Division.

Furthermore, such transactions would result in the Cleaner Division’s resources being exfiltrated to Jinghai Province.

Fang Mu was one of their own; swapping resources for capital with him would be tantamount to moving funds from the left hand to the right.

The Cleaner Division would retain control over the resources.

Fang Mu understood Feng Lin’s intention from the moment she spoke to him.

“Aunt Fang, I have some money, but it’s definitely not enough to make up for the Sanitation Worker’s Division’s losses in this disaster,”

Fang Mu said with a smile, before confidently continuing.

“Aunt Fang, even if I can’t provide all the money, I can provide some, depending on the amount you need.”

Feng Lin was relieved to see Fang Mu willing to help and directly stated the financing gap.

“At least 30 billion Dragon Rising Coins are needed to fill the gap,”

“There’s no hurry for this money, as long as you can scrape it together in two months!”

“I won’t expect this money from you for nothing, I will convert all the funds you supply into contribution points at each ten thousand Dragon Rising Coins,”

“You can use these contribution points to exchange for materials at the Merit Pavilion.”

Fang Mu’s eyes brightened at her words.

If exchanged at a rate of ten thousand Dragon Rising Coins per contribution point, 30 billion Dragon Rising Coins could provide him with three million contribution points.

Ever since Fang Mu visited the Merit Pavilion and saw the treasures within, he had been coveting many of the materials there.

However, having only been a part of the Cleaner Division for a little over two months, Fang Mu hadn’t managed to accumulate many contribution points.

Previously, when Fang Mu wanted to exchange for the Eden Greenfield, he had used Feng Lin’s points, and he certainly couldn’t always rely on Feng Lin to help him exchange for resources in the Merit Pavilion.

No matter how you look at it, the points of the Merit Pavilion are incomparable to Dragon Rising Coins.

In his last visit to the Merit Pavilion, Fang Mu had taken a fancy to a special beast called the Dust-eating worm.

The Dust-eating worm, an Earth System beast, feeds on dust.

After ingesting dust, Dust-eating worms build houses on their bodies out of hardened dust according to their preferences.

In several provinces in the northwest of the Dragon Rising Federation, there had once been a trend of guesthouses built from the dust on the backs of Dust-eating worms.

Fang Mu wasn’t actually interested in the Dust-eating worm because of its abilities, but because after being induced by a large amount of pure spatial energy, the Dust-eating worm could potentially mutate when it evolved to legendary quality.

This mutation would give rise to a beast called the Abdominal Territory Worm.

Wild Abdominal Territory worms are equivalent to living, mobile castles.

Not only does the Abdominal Territory Worm retain the Dust-eating worm’s ability to build houses on its back, but it also has a significantly larger space inside its abdomen.

The abdominal space of the Abdominal Territory Worm can be used to grow plants and breed animals.

The Abdominal Territory Worm supplies its internal animals and plants by absorbing nutrients through the walls of its abdominal cavity.

There are Dust-eating worms available within the Merit Pavilion of the Cleaner Division.

Fang Mu plans on purchasing the Dust-eating worm and inducing it to evolve into the Abdominal Territory Worm, then nurturing the Abdominal Territory Worm with Blood Aged Wine.

The Abdominal Territory Worm would then become the best vehicle for Fang Mu when he goes on field explorations.

Fang Mu could comfortably live on the back of the Abdominal Territory Worm while on an expedition.

Apart from the Abdominal Territory Worm, Fang Mu was also interested in a Mechanical Beast from the Merit Pavilion known as the Mechanism Fortress.

The Mechanism Fortress wasn’t significantly different from the Ingenious Round Tent that Fang Mu previously used.

However, compared to the Ingenious Round Tent, the Mechanism Fortress had a much larger area.

The Ingenious Round Tent was just a small tent; even when it was upgraded to the gold level, it only took up about ten square meters.

The Mechanism Fortress, however, was the size of a small building even at the copper level and covered at least 800 square meters when it was upgraded to the gold level.

After purchasing the Mechanism Fortress, Fang Mu could place it within the abdominal cavity of the Abdominal Territory Worm.

This would provide Fang Mu with a stable living environment while on his expeditions, saving him from camping rough.

Unlike the relatively common Dust-eating worm, the Mechanism Fortress, a mechanical beast, is extremely rare.
