I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

Upon hearing this, Sonia immediately brought up a projector, showing the overall size of each island and explaining the future plans to Mr. Kassadin.

The Cult of the Void had only been established for a few years, and Mr. Kassadin had no intention of directly conquering other worlds.

The members of the Cult of the Natural Void, including Sonia herself, would not want to rashly sound the call to conquest.

However, since they cannot be directly conquered, it is certainly impossible for them to catch up with some of the most famous powers in the universe so quickly in a short period of time.

Examples include Asgard, Olympus, the Xandarian Empire, and the Kree Empire.

However, Sonia knew that a tall building starts from the ground up, so she planned to gradually expand her territory and use a more gentle approach to strengthen her power.

Moreover, expanding territory is inevitable for Sonia.

Because the members of the Void God Cult consume an enormous amount of food every day, even though they travel to different planets and are not always on Void Island.

But when they return, they will still consume a lot of food.

Therefore, only by having a larger territory can one engage in farming and animal husbandry.

The foundation for becoming a truly powerful force is to establish a cycle of internal production and consumption.

Although others hoard food while I buy guns, and I can just rob them, it's not a long-term solution to keep robbing.

Leaving aside the issue of the Void God Cult's reputation being damaged by the excessive looting—that's not a major concern—the problem lies in the fact that it easily breeds the Void God Cult's dark side.

This caused them to gradually lose their original humanity and become monsters who only knew how to burn, kill, plunder, and devour.

Chapter 207: Is this really going to burn through money?

Harvey listened patiently to Sonia's explanation while he ate.

He himself didn't have much of an idea about building a large power, because he was recruiting people to enter the starting point of the void.

This is because while he bestows blessings upon others, he also gains a large amount of void energy, which benefits him in return.

However, after establishing the Cult of the Void, Harvey discovered that becoming the God of the Void was not such a simple matter.

After all, these members are not like those on Earth, who continue to pray even if God doesn't respond, just seeking some comfort is enough.

All the members of the Void God Cult are gluttons; if they aren't properly managed...

Anyone who intends to wreak havoc on the world can become a king and dominate in some backward world.

However, after experiencing Xandar's advanced technology, few people would be willing to go to those backward and primitive planets to become kings and conquerors.

It's not that it can't be done, but that doing it wouldn't make much sense.

Not all of the universe is like Xandar, which bears a striking resemblance to human appearance.

Many planets have strange-looking races, including some that look like insects.

Putting aside whether races and aesthetics are compatible, the wealth of a civilization that is not connected to interstellar civilizations is worthless to other civilizations in the universe.

He wasn't exactly incredibly wealthy on Earth, but he had a considerable amount of money. However, once he came to the universe, he had to start earning it all over again.

Tony is the same. He's a super-rich man on Earth, but he still needs to rethink how to make money in space.

As for things like burning, killing, looting, and seizing women, there was absolutely no need for them.

Because the universe is full of women, of all styles, and there are even plenty of custom-made robot beauties.

And the way to get intimate with these women is not difficult; all you need is money.

Given the strength of each member of the Void God Cult, there are countless ways to make money.

"The plan is good, but we can also consider not hiring outsiders to do it all."

We could also consider assigning it to other members of the Void God Cult.

After listening to Sonia's future plans, Harvey considered them for a moment and then spoke.

“I’ve thought of that too.”

"However, the Void God Cult has not yet fully established its power."

"There is nothing that is unique to our Void God Cult and that would be tempting to other members."

"So the original plan was estimated to take shape ten years from now."

Upon hearing this, Sonia shifted the projection to a more distant plan.

"The Void God Cult currently has nothing unique, but it does have something tempting."

"Just offer them higher pay so they'll be willing to do it."

“Some members of the Void God Cult are capable of directly undertaking bounty missions. Even if we disregard the fact that bounty missions will eventually be completed, a very small number of them will inevitably become idle.”

"Most members of the Void God Cult probably rely on their strong physical abilities to do various jobs outside."

“Since they can work for others, they can naturally work for the Cult of the Void.”

"Incidentally, this will also allow them to use their own brains to buy or research all sorts of technologies that are beneficial to production."

"As long as the results of planting and breeding reach the predetermined range, it doesn't matter how they plant or breed them."

Harvey spoke up upon hearing this.

“Mr. Kassadin, your plan can enable the Void Island to establish a cycle ahead of schedule.”

"However, I estimate we'll need to bring Mr. Tony over."

"Because implementing the plan you mentioned would require a lot of money."

After hearing Mr. Kassadin's words, Sonia considered for a moment, calculated the approximate amount of money needed, and then spoke.

"How much revenue does Void Island generate in a year now?"

Harvey asked a question when he heard that Tony needed to be brought in to have enough money.

"Now that the scale has been expanded, Mr. Tony's gravity devices are selling very well, generating about 12.8 billion in revenue per year."

"Last year's New Year pilgrimage generated 1.8 billion in revenue."

"So last year's total revenue was 14.6 billion."

Upon hearing this, Sonia immediately took out a report and showed it to Mr. Kassadin, outlining all the income figures.

"Isn't this already quite a lot?"

Harvey spoke up when he heard that the annual revenue was close to 15 billion.

"These are income figures, not including expenses."

"Last year, we purchased 24 small islands, at an average price of 310 million per island, for a total expenditure of 7.44 billion."

"Establishing connections and fixed routes for entry and exit will cost four million per island per year, totaling one hundred million in annual expenditure."

"Furthermore, in order to expand the scale, it is necessary to develop the island and purchase various equipment."

"We developed three islands last year, with an average cost of 100 million per island."

"The Void Island has the most residents and requires a huge amount of food every day, so we hired sixty more chefs."

"Currently, there are one hundred chefs on the island."

"The chefs' wages can be supplemented by other members of the Void Island purchasing food at their own expense, but the food prices on the island are generally only slightly higher than the original price."

"Therefore, the cost of selling ingredients alone is 100 million a year."

"Seventy-nine billion was spent here."

Sonia began to carefully calculate the accounts for Mr. Kassadin.

"Last year's positive revenue was 6.7 billion."

"In addition, the revenue for the first half of this year was six billion."

"The Void Island has 12.7 billion in working capital."

"But we still have 22 islands that have not been developed. If we want to develop farming and aquaculture, we need to fully develop each island and invest in the initial facilities."

"Let's say 200 million from development to operation. The facilities aren't cheap, so that directly deducts 4.4 billion."

"Considering that many members had no experience in farming or animal husbandry at the beginning, there will still be losses."

"Therefore, initial subsidies are definitely necessary; only in this way will they be more motivated to do it."

"The remaining liquid funds on Void Island are only 8.3 billion."

"This amount of money is clearly insufficient to establish a sound internal circulation."

Sonia was speaking at the end.

Harvey was dumbfounded by all the expenses that Sonia mentioned. Did she really think that building a faction was so expensive?

"However, as long as the Void God Cult establishes the foundation for internal circulation."

"So these initial investments can not only be recouped later, but also bring many benefits."

Seeing that Mr. Kassadin was silent, Sonia thought that she had been too serious and had offended him, so she quickly spoke up.

"I understand. We'll consider establishing an internal circulation system after Tony comes and earns more money."

Upon hearing this, Harvey waved his hand, temporarily abandoning his plan to start large-scale farming and breeding.

Chapter 208 Words That Are Easily Misinterpreted

"Mr. Kassadin, you don't need to be too discouraged."

"According to the original plan, if Mr. Tony does not return."

"These plans of mine will be implemented in ten years, if Mr. Tony returns to Void Island."

"And bringing more technology to the Void Island to make money would accelerate this process."

Upon hearing Mr. Kassadin's words, Sonia realized that her series of remarks had truly hurt him, and quickly offered her words of comfort.

Harvey wasn't really affected by what Sonia said; he just realized he had underestimated the money needed to build up his power.

"Sonia, it's so good to have you here."

However, seeing Sonia comforting him like this, Harvey said with some emotion.

"...Mr. Kassadin, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
