Reincarnated as the Death Spider Queen, sacrificing Bibi Dong at the start

Nan Feng looked around at the open spaces that Zi Zhenzhu had temporarily sent people to clean up: "You didn't see how disgusting this place was when I first arrived on the island a while ago. It was full of filth and garbage. That was truly an eyesore. Now, at least we can still stand here."

At this point, Nan Feng turned around and looked at Ning Fengzhi and the others behind him, a very calm "hands-off manager" smile appearing on his small face:

"Alright, now that I've told you everything, and you've seen the potential of this island with your own eyes."

"Next, according to our agreement, how to plan the port, how to build shops, and how to construct fortifications will all depend on the top craftsmen and funds you have brought."

Nan Feng pointed to the pirates who were being gathered together by the Purple Pearl and standing ramrod straight not far away, and said boastfully:

"If it's manual labor like moving stones, cutting down trees, or building roads, don't be shy. You can order these pirates around on the island around as you please."

"With me here, they'll be absolutely obedient when they get to work!"

The top craftsmen brought by Ning Fengzhi were incredibly efficient. After conducting a very detailed survey of the terrain and hydrology of Purple Pearl Island, a massive infrastructure construction boom was launched on this pirate island.

According to the rule set by Nanfeng—if you want to get rich, build roads first!

The craftsmen directed the group of shirtless pirates to begin their work by laying wide and straight main roads on the deserted island using flat and hard bluestone slabs, perfectly connecting the originally scattered residential areas with the future port work area.

Of course, if the goal is to create the largest maritime trade duty-free zone on the entire mainland, the island's "city appearance" must meet the standards.

Nan Feng directly ordered that all those dilapidated, even leaky, thatched huts be demolished.

With the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's vast funds, rows of clean, tidy, and extremely stable brick and tile bungalows sprang up, completely solving the basic housing problem for the local natives and low-level pirates.

After ensuring the most basic needs of the people were met, the craftsmen began to showcase their true skills, undertaking large-scale development and planning of the core commercial area of ​​Purple Pearl Island.

The deep-water port has been fully expanded, making it capable of accommodating hundreds of giant merchant ships at the same time.

Neatly planned commercial streets are beginning to take shape;

To welcome wealthy businessmen from all over the continent in the future, a dedicated high-end residential area for the public is under construction.

In the very heart of this commercial district, a "floating auction house" of immense scale and prestige, comparable to the grand auction house of Tiandou City, has already laid a solid foundation.

Planning precedes construction, and everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

After such an enormous amount of manpower and resources were poured in, a year passed by unnoticed.

In just one year, Purple Pearl Island has undergone tremendous changes and is completely transformed!

The pirate den that used to be filled with the smell of the sea and littered with garbage and excrement is gone.

In its place, a port town has taken shape, is clean and tidy, and is full of vitality.

The island's inhabitants all replaced their old, patched-up tattered linen clothes with clean, tidy clothes brought by the Heavenly Dou Empire; they moved into new houses that could shelter them from the wind and rain and keep them from freezing in winter.

The most basic problems of survival and food security have been completely solved.

Meanwhile, the group of physicians and support-type Soul Masters that Ning Fengzhi brought also played an extremely important role on Purple Pearl Island.

There are many elderly people on this island, and most of them have developed various serious health problems due to living in a precarious environment with poor medical conditions for many years.

Malnutrition and rheumatic pain are chronic ailments that affect almost every islander.

With the arrival of these doctors, a large number of precious medicinal herbs were decocted into medicinal soups and distributed free of charge.

The elderly living alone who used to suffer and die in agony have seen their conditions greatly alleviated; the emaciated children have finally regained a rosy complexion.

This tangible and visible change struck like a heavy hammer blow to the hearts of every Purple Pearl Island inhabitant and pirate.

It wasn't until this moment that they truly realized—the mysterious and unpredictable "Demon God Douluo" Nan Feng had never been deceiving them from the very beginning!

He not only actually obtained mountains of gold and silver from the great emperor and the number one sect in the inland, but he was also truly fulfilling his original promise, giving everyone a way to survive, an unprecedented bright path!

In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire Purple Pearl Island underwent an extremely subtle yet profound change.

Even those once unruly and rebellious pirates who only knew how to kill and rob no longer looked at Nan Feng with the simple fear of absolute force they had at the beginning.

Many people, especially mid-to-high-level leaders like Old Soul Emperor John and Purple Pearl, and even the lowest-ranking ordinary pirates, began to sincerely believe in and even fanatically worship this new leader with extraordinary abilities.

After all, when people become pirates, isn't it all just to make a living and live like human beings?

Now you don't have to risk your life at sea every day, fighting the wind and waves, or worry about being killed by your enemies. As long as you do your job according to the rules and stand guard, you can eat your fill and stay warm every day. In the future, you can even follow this boss to show off your power in front of chambers of commerce across the continent and earn a lot of gold coins!

Working for a leader who is skillful, decisive, and capable of leading everyone to wealth is truly a promising career path!

Chapter 162 Poseidon's Attention

……

Nan Feng stood on the edge of the newly built deep-water port, facing the slightly salty sea breeze, looking down at the brand-new port city in front of him.

Looking at the rows of neat and uniform shops, the wide and flat bluestone road, and the grand auction house on the sea that was beginning to take shape in the distance, a hint of admiration flashed in Nan Feng's heterochromatic eyes.

Nan Feng was quite satisfied with the terrifying efficiency displayed by the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

According to his initial estimate, even with ample funds, it would take at least three to five years of painstaking work to transform Purple Pearl Island, a pirate slum rotten to the core, into a modern port that meets the standards of a special trade zone.

However, he clearly underestimated the potential of feudal empires to concentrate resources on major undertakings, as well as the terrifying nature of Soul Masters as the top productive force in this world.

In just one year, with the immense financial power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the strong coordination of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, this isolated overseas island was transformed into the prototype of a large commercial port!

"Now that the hardware is in place, it's time for the software to get running."

Nan Feng's gaze fell upon the merchant ships flying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda flags in the port area: "The time to come will be Ning Fengzhi's show."

For this island to officially launch large-scale trade, it needs to attract chambers of commerce from all over the mainland, establish a complete banking and warehousing industry, and formulate extremely complicated commodity transaction tax rates and commission rates...

Nan Feng unceremoniously handed over all these meticulously crafted business operations, which required immense effort, to Ning Fengzhi to manage entirely.

After all, he is the undisputed leader of the number one chamber of commerce in the entire continent. It would be a real waste to leave such top-notch free labor unused.

As for the internal development, security management, and implementation progress of the special zone plan of Purple Pearl Island itself, Nan Feng has not let Purple Pearl Island be idle in the past six months.

He practically crammed a series of forward-thinking trade zone management concepts into Zizhenzhu's mind.

Although Purple Pearl had a fiery temper and was easily provoked, and still retained some of the bandit spirit of pirates, she was indeed very bright and quick to learn.

Although she still hasn't fully grasped the extremely profound and advanced economic theories that Nan Feng occasionally spouts, such as "macroeconomic control," "trade deficit," and "capital leverage," she has one major advantage—she's obedient!

Even without understanding those profound theories, Purple Pearl could still recite them perfectly from the book.

She executes whatever Nan Feng plans; she takes up her knife and leads her men to break the rules.

Now, with Purple Pearl as the absolutely obedient enforcer of force maintaining order, and Ning Fengzhi, that cunning and shrewd business veteran, in charge of strategizing on the surface, everything is in order.

Purple Pearl Island is now fully prepared to begin initial maritime trade!

With the political backing of the Heavenly Dou royal family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the number one sect in the world, leading the way by pouring real money into the game.

There is no doubt that the snowball of maritime trade will soon grow at an alarming rate.

Once maritime trade routes are opened and a huge hub of interests is established, related industries such as shipbuilding, security escort agencies, and coastal inns and restaurants will naturally spring up and grow rapidly.

"call……"

Nan Feng stretched comfortably and then turned and walked down from the harbor's observation deck.

As for how many gold soul coins the trade zone can bring in each day, how the chambers of commerce will argue over disputes over interests, and which shipping routes need additional escorts...

Of course, these extremely tedious and trivial matters were not issues that Nan Feng should have to consider.

He is a chess player who sets the rules and directions. He is only responsible for providing the grandest and most lethal strategic plans, and using absolute force to build this chessboard that can change the landscape of the continent.

As for the specifics of how to place pieces and fight on the chessboard, and how to run yourself ragged for a few gold coins...

That's the kind of thing that subordinates and collaborators should worry about and work hard for.

……

Meanwhile, far away in the vast ocean, lies Poseidon Island.

The earth-shaking changes that have taken place on Purple Pearl Island in the past year have naturally reached this sacred land protected by the sea god without any omission.

In fact, as early as a year ago, Poseidon Island's intelligence network had already detected the unusual activity on Purple Pearl Island.

Initially, the intelligence network on Poseidon Island only received information that a mysterious powerhouse calling himself "Demon God Douluo" had suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the lawless land of Purple Pearl Island.

The opponent's strength was extremely terrifying. With overwhelming force, they forcibly took control of the entire Purple Pearl Island, and even those unruly and bloodthirsty pirates were all incorporated into their ranks.

When Poseidon first learned of this news, he originally planned to send someone to reprimand and warn this uninvited guest.

After all, a significant portion of the residents of Purple Pearl Island are believers or their descendants who once left Poseidon Island, and there are countless blood ties between the two islands.

If that powerful outsider were to act recklessly and commit massacres on Purple Pearl Island in order to establish his authority, Poseidon, as the sea god's representative on earth and the guardian of the sea, could not stand idly by, for both moral and logical reasons.

However, as more and more information came back, the development of events left this high priest, who had lived for a very long time, completely bewildered.

There was no bloodshed, no brutal oppression.

Instead, there was a massive influx of construction materials and a huge amount of funds comparable to the imperial treasury.

It's a massive infrastructure project that benefits every resident at the bottom of society;

There are even a large number of senior doctors from the mainland who have moved in to provide free medical treatment and medicine for the islanders.

Each and every one of these incidents sounds like a fantastical fairy tale!

At first, Poseidon was adamant about not believing such nonsense about a free lunch.

In the dog-eat-dog world of Soul Masters, how could there be any peerless powerhouse with nothing better to do than go to a lousy pirate island to do this kind of pure charity?

To ascertain the truth, she personally dispatched the island's guardian beast—the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark King "Little White"—to infiltrate and conduct close-up reconnaissance.

However, the survey results that Xiaobai brought back a few days later were even more shocking and unbelievable than the rumors that Poseidon Island had previously gathered.

Xiao Bai witnessed firsthand that Purple Pearl Island, a lawless place originally controlled by pirates and filled with stench, has now been transformed into a modern harbor in just one year, with a level of prosperity that is in no way inferior to the seven holy pillar cities of Poseidon Island!

The resettlement of the island's residents, which was of utmost concern to Poseidon, has been perfectly resolved, and everyone is now living a more stable and better life every day.

At the same time, Xiaobai also brought back an extremely important piece of intelligence: the next grand goal of Purple Pearl Island is to be completely transformed into a "maritime trade zone" connecting the inland and the open ocean!

These tangible changes are undoubtedly a great thing, but there is one core issue that left Poseidon puzzled and even felt a bit absurd.

According to the information Xiaobai gathered, the mysterious "Demon God Douluo" claimed to be from Seagod Island!

Furthermore, the other party even confidently claimed to be her "High Priestess Poseidon," asserting that they had received her personal instructions to go to the inland to seek cooperation with the Heavenly Dou royal family and single-handedly promote the development plan of the entire Purple Pearl Special Zone!

"What on earth is going on..."

Poseidon frowned.

Who exactly is this Demon God Douluo? Why is he acting under the guise of Seagod Island and her name?

If the other party were using the Island of Poseidon as a pretext to commit arson, murder, and looting, and to tarnish the reputation of the sea god, then Poseidon would have already personally crossed the sea and suppressed them in the deep seabed.
