Although they had been classmates throughout high school, both Yang Fan and Li Shuhao were quiet by nature, so they had never been particularly close.
“Li Shuhao has the C-rank talent, Steel Body, so he’s destined to develop a Combat God Kingdom.
That means he’ll need Subordinate God Kingdoms to stabilize his supply lines and secure his rear.” “He has already invited several students in our class with decent talents and offered them very generous terms.” “I think you should consider it.
Li Shuhao is now recognized as a genius by the Li family, and his future development is far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.
If you attach yourself to someone like him, your God Kingdom will be much safer in the future.” “My father also joined forces with his old classmates back then.
Everyone had known each other since childhood, so there was naturally more trust between them,” Zhang Pang explained patiently.
“I understand, but I’ve been quite busy lately.
Let’s talk about it when I have some free time,” Yang Fan replied.
He didn’t want to reject Li Shuhao outright.
To everyone else, Li Shuhao’s recruitment was clearly an opportunity.
Refusing too directly would also go against Yang Fan’s principle of keeping a low profile.
“Alright.
You also received a C-rank evaluation, so you can afford to look around a little more.
Maybe even those favored students from Class One will extend an olive branch to you.” “Anyway, I’ve passed the message along.
Oh, right, come over and hang out when you have time.
Not in the Virtual World this time—come to my house for dinner.” “Sure,” Yang Fan agreed.
Zhang Pang’s father did business in Mingyue Community, and the two families had often visited each other when they were children.
That was why Yang Fan and Zhang Pang had become such close friends.
After ending the call, Yang Fan tapped his watch and opened the Federal Fund Loan page.
“Citizen Yang Fan, your current loan limit is 5 million Faith Points.
Please review and sign the informed consent form.” Yang Fan opened the document.
The informed consent form contained dozens of pages of terms and conditions.
To make it easier for students to understand the important points, the Federal Government had highlighted the key clauses.
One of them concerned the consequences of failing to repay the loan.
If the debt could not be repaid, the borrower would be forcibly sent to the front lines, where they would work without pay to produce resources for frontline God Kingdoms until the entire debt was cleared.
When the countdown reached its final seconds, Yang Fan decisively clicked Confirm.
With his Evolution Talent, he was confident that he could at least double the principal within a year.
For him, this level of risk was practically nonexistent.
“Loan successful.” “The Federal Government recommends that this startup capital be used entirely for the development of your personal God Kingdom.
Do not squander it on entertainment or transfer it to others.
If you encounter any suspected fraud, please contact the official Federal Fund Loan hotline.” Unlike the rewards distributed by the Ministry of Education, the Faith Points obtained through the loan could be used freely.
Faith Points: 5,014,988 Daily Faith Point Income: 0.006 Looking at his suddenly swollen balance, Yang Fan immediately opened the Federal Mall.
“Search for buildings similar to the Moon Well.” “Requirements: They must not consume the believers’ energy, should generate a stable income through the natural passage of time within the God Kingdom, and preferably should gradually improve the believers’ physical aptitude.” Yang Fan entered his requirements into the search bar.
Searching…
C-rank Building: Sun Spring Every ten years, the Sun Spring produces one drop of Sun Essence.
Sun Essence can strengthen the body, increase physical strength, and remove toxins.
Current market value: 1,000 Faith Points per drop.
Building price: 300,000 Faith Points.
— C-rank Building: Ghost Spring Every hundred years, the Ghost Spring condenses one drop of Ghost Poison.
Current market value: 50,000 Faith Points per drop.
Building price: 100,000 Faith Points.
Merchant’s Note: If the believers are not sufficiently strong, long-term exposure may cause chronic poisoning.
The poison must be removed once every thousand years in the God Kingdom.
Otherwise, it may eventually form a toxic fog zone.
— C-rank Building: Skeleton Tower Input animal remains to automatically produce Skeleton Soldiers.
Each Skeleton Soldier is worth approximately 0.1 Faith Points.
Building price: 500,000 Faith Points.
Based on big-data calculations, the average return rate is 36%.
“…” Then the search results suddenly reached the B-rank category.
B-rank Building: Hundred Weapons Tower Input iron ore to automatically produce various cold weapons that can be sold for Faith Points.
Building price: 200 million Faith Points.
Based on big-data calculations, the average return rate is 16%.
“…” Seeing B-rank buildings appearing in the results, Yang Fan immediately pressed the pause button.
“I want stable investments for my God Kingdom.
With my current capital, I can only afford C-rank buildings at most.
Recommend the best combination.” “According to big-data calculations, the optimal combination is Moon Wells and Sun Springs.” “Based on current market prices, the combined return rate is approximately 12%.” “Furthermore, long-term placement of these buildings will positively affect the surrounding environment, gradually improving the physical constitution of nearby believers and assisting them in practicing the Federal Body Refinement Technique.” “When placed together, Moon Wells and Sun Springs will gradually fuse over time.” “After one thousand years in the God Kingdom, there is a one-in-ten-thousand chance that they will evolve into a special building: the Fountain of Life.” “If a Fountain of Life is successfully formed, the investment return will increase significantly.” “Check the price of the Fountain of Life,” Yang Fan said curiously.
Special Building: Fountain of Life Official recommended transaction price: 1 billion Faith Points.
Current status: Severely out of stock.
Unavailable for purchase.
Effects: Lifeforms below the fifth rank can rapidly recover from injuries when immersed in the Fountain of Life.
Every ten years, it produces one drop of Water of Life.
Current market value: 1 million Faith Points per drop.
Current status: Severely out of stock.
Unavailable for purchase.
Looking at the description, Yang Fan couldn’t help but gasp.
This was practically the equivalent of buying a lottery ticket.
If he got lucky, he could make an enormous fortune.
Yang Fan suddenly remembered something from one of his textbooks.
Some people would arrange large numbers of Moon Wells throughout their God Kingdoms.
Now that he thought about it, there were probably Sun Springs among them as well.
As long as even one Fountain of Life successfully evolved, it could completely offset the previous investment costs.
He also remembered the day they awakened their God Kingdoms.
Li Tianheng, the genius of the Li family, already possessed a Fountain of Life in his God Kingdom.
At the time, Yang Fan had been deeply shocked by it.
“I wonder how far those geniuses with powerful backgrounds have already developed their God Kingdoms.” Yang Fan rubbed his temples, feeling a sudden surge of pressure.
Although he possessed the SSS-rank Evolution Talent and didn’t believe his potential was inferior to those geniuses, the gap between them right now was probably far greater than he had imagined.
“Others have the accumulated resources of several generations, while I have a cheat.” “The future is still long.” “Let’s wait and see.” Yang Fan encouraged himself and then made his decision.
“Buy four Moon Wells and five Sun Springs.” He pressed the purchase button.
2.7 million Faith Points deducted.
Yet Yang Fan didn’t feel the slightest bit of heartache.
With these buildings combined with his Evolution Talent, his monthly net income would reach approximately 300,000 Faith Points.
“Continue searching for high-yield Spirit Plants.” “Requirements: They must improve the environment of the God Kingdom, be easy to plant and harvest, not consume the believers’ energy, and cost no more than one million Faith Points.” “Search successful.” Recommended: C-rank Spirit Plant — Soul Nourishing Wood Extremely easy to cultivate and suitable for alchemy.
The older the Soul Nourishing Wood becomes, the greater its value.
Long-term cultivation can improve the surrounding environment, clear the minds of nearby creatures, and slightly increase their comprehension.
1,000 Soul Nourishing Wood seedlings — 500,000 Faith Points.
Merchant’s Reminder: Soul Nourishing Wood has an extremely long growth cycle, making it vulnerable to attracting the attention of others.
Investment risk is extremely high.
Unless you possess a strong family background or sufficient power, it is not recommended to cultivate them on a large scale.
Current market prices: Ten-year Soul Nourishing Wood: 510 Faith Points Hundred-year Soul Nourishing Wood: 700 Faith Points Thousand-year Soul Nourishing Wood: 5,000 Faith Points Ten-thousand-year Soul Nourishing Wood: 1 million Faith Points Looking at the description of the Soul Nourishing Wood, Yang Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart.
“Would cultivating one thousand Soul Nourishing Woods be considered a large-scale investment?” “According to big-data surveys, it would not.” “Then buy them.” Transaction successful.
“Also buy 20,000 Water Lotus seeds.” Transaction successful.
“Randomly include 1 million unranked herbivores.” Transaction successful.
“Buy one F-rank Breeding Card with a duration of 100 years.” Transaction successful.
“…” In the blink of an eye, Yang Fan had spent another million-plus Faith Points.
After thinking carefully, he couldn’t think of anything else his God Kingdom needed for the time being.
Only then did he stop shopping.
Once all these resources entered his God Kingdom, a massive wave of development would inevitably begin.
With his God Kingdom developing at such an astonishing speed, Yang Fan, as its god, would have to keep a close eye on everything.
As for the remaining Faith Points, he decided to keep them in reserve for emergencies.
