Sure enough, on Dragon Island's map, hundreds of Magic Net red dots appeared densely packed. Though calling them "densely packed" might be a bit of an exaggeration, since Dragon Island's area was roughly the same size as the Kingdom of Dawn and a bit smaller than the Gray Fort Empire. But compared to there being none before, these hundreds could definitely be called densely packed. And when you think about the dragon race's birth rate, hundreds is actually quite a lot.

"Looks like we were right to offer DIY options. After getting access to the Magic Net, they're actively integrating," the Goddess of Magic said, looking at the map and finally realizing what Ren was thinking. "But why are you so excited? Even if every single dragon uses our Magic Net, it doesn't seem like enough to get you this worked up, does it?"

One dragon's contribution of faith was definitely worth thousands of ordinary people, but there were only so many dragons on Dragon Island. Compared to the Magic Net's current scale and the mortal realm's population, it really wasn't that impressive, especially since the population would keep growing during Ren's plan.

"If I remember correctly, you once said that adult dragons can cross the entire continent in about a day?" Instead of directly answering the Goddess of Magic, Ren smiled and brought up something else.

"Yeah, dragons are incredibly fast, even faster than legendary magicians who specialize in movement magic. Though of course they're weaker than spatial magic."

"But there are only a handful of legendary magicians proficient in spatial magic across the entire continent, while there are thousands of dragons." Ren's smile grew wider. "I'm thinking we should invite these dragons to become our earliest delivery workers. Sure, we don't have the ability to build an online shopping logistics system right now, but if we invite the dragons to join, we should be able to pull off large-scale auctions. It'll also let users get familiar with online shopping processes. Once the ultra-high-speed train system is up and running, we can transition seamlessly."

"Plus, dragons love gold. I bet they've got a ton of gold, right? Using their gold, we can start rolling out our banking system. The foundation for the online shopping era and virtual item trading era is all tied to these dragons."

"Boss, Lord Ren, you don't have a fever, do you? Gods can't get sick, right? Why are you talking nonsense? Dragons don't even really worship the Goddess, let alone anyone else. They're basically a bunch of faithless creatures. There's no way they'd do this kind of work like church followers who do it out of faith. Unless we had tons and tons of gold and treasure to give them, and not only are you not planning to give them treasure, you actually want to take their treasure to open a bank! How could that possibly work?!"

Listening to Ren's words, Betty showed unprecedented shock. As she talked, her head even flew off, which just goes to show how truly stunned she was by Ren's plan. It was more unbelievable than any of his previous plans, and she was making even more noise than Book usually did.

"Betty spent about two thousand years on Dragon Island, so she knows those dragons pretty well," the Goddess of Magic said, waving her hand to put Betty's head back on. She smiled and explained, "What she's saying is basically true. Dragons really wouldn't come out to deliver packages for us, and they definitely wouldn't hand over their treasure. They only take, never give."

"Only take, never give? That's perfect! Their accumulated treasure must be even more than I imagined. As for whether they'll join my plan..." Ren looked pleasantly surprised. "I've got a clever plan for that."

With that, Ren went off to prepare.

Around the same time, the God of Tailoring left the divine realm of Love and Beauty.

Watching his gradually disappearing figure, the Goddess of Love and Beauty turned her gaze to the clothes floating before her. "Cleric 'Audrey Roland,' you heard what the God of Tailoring said just now, right? Try on these clothes, then return to the mortal realm."

"Me?"

Cleric 'Audrey Roland' was clearly stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. Right in front of the Goddess of Love and Beauty, she quickly removed her clothes and changed into each outfit the God of Tailoring had sent.

Originally a bit confused by these strange clothes and thinking they were some kind of divine blessing, her thoughts changed the moment she put on the stockings.

This wasn't surprising really. For people in any world, the pursuit of beauty is the same. In Ren's previous life, the company that invented stockings became the largest chemical conglomerate in the strongest industrial nation because of this product, and even participated in nuclear bomb research and development later on. That's exactly why Ren wanted to launch this product. It was destined to become a standout product in the magic-tech industrialization process and a true continent-wide bestseller!

The Goddess of Love and Beauty watched all this, somewhat dazed. If her cleric weren't present, she probably would have cried out in surprise. Turns out, just a little clothing made of special materials could hide flaws and make beauty even more beautiful... Beauty used to belong to the few, but with these special clothes, beauty would belong to many more!

Watching as 'Audrey Roland' put on, displayed, and removed outfit after outfit, watching as different styles were continuously showcased, the Goddess of Love and Beauty grew increasingly shocked. She never imagined that technology's understanding of beauty ran so deep, or that the God of Tailoring's impact on beauty could be so great. Though not every outfit suited this cleric, just as the God of Tailoring said, different people suit different styles. It wasn't the clothes' fault.

"Cleric 'Audrey Roland,' when you return to the mortal realm, spare no effort in promoting these new fashions within the church... In fact, you must mobilize the entire church to promote these new fashions to every believer who comes to worship. This is extremely important for spreading the doctrine of beauty. As the new archbishop, you will have the authority to do this."

"My Goddess, after I become an archbishop, may I remain at the church where I currently reside..." Audrey looked at the Goddess of Love and Beauty somewhat nervously.

The Goddess of Love and Beauty paused. A cleric who didn't want to go to headquarters? Her church's headquarters was at the most beautiful seaside location in the world, with unparalleled scenery and endless resources... Instinctively she wanted to ask why, but her divine nature kept her calm. She carefully sensed through the power of faith, and then she understood why this cleric would make such a choice...

"Of course, if that's what you want," the Goddess of Love and Beauty nodded slightly. "Even the Pope cannot command you to do anything... In fact, I think you should expand your church in Roster territory into a second headquarters for my church."
