"You are steady enough, but you are indeed worth praising. I really haven't seen a student whose theoretical knowledge is as solid as yours.
But don't be too proud. You are only ahead of those ordinary students, but compared to the descendants of those major families, this is actually a disadvantage.
Like the Luo Family and the Li Clan, they all have their own actuaries, and these people will specially help the younger generation set up their divine kingdoms.
They have been immersed in this Dao for hundreds or even thousands of years, and there are plenty of people in this batch whose Prosperity Rating is higher than yours," Li Qingying reminded.
"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher."
"You won first place in this assessment, and I promised to give you a D-rank building. What type do you want?"
"Are there any buildings that can slowly change the Aptitude of believers?"
"Not pursuing rapid growth in strength, but paying more attention to the Foundation of believers—you are very good.
But the thing you want is certainly not something a D-rank building can have. Let me think." Li Qingying narrowed her eyes slightly, her consciousness connecting to her divine kingdom.
After a moment, she seemed to have found her target.
"I don't have the building you want, but I have an adult Taisui. Do you want it?"
"Taisui!" Yang Fan was stunned in place.
Yang Fan had seen it in books before. This thing called Taisui is not a Demonic Beast, but livestock cultivated by top livestock breeders.
Its body is like a small hill and cannot move. After the meat is cut off, it will grow back next month.
The meat of Taisui indeed has the effect of changing Aptitude, but it is very weak. Most deities just treat it as a meat-producing machine, the same as the D-rank building Pool of Wine and Forest of Meat.
However, the value of an adult Taisui is as high as 2 million Faith Points. Even among C-rank buildings, it is in the relatively expensive tier.
"Teacher Li, isn't this too precious?" Yang Fan said.
"I bought this in my early years. Now even those mortal believers in my divine kingdom find its taste too poor. It is useless to me now, so consider it an investment in you.
If you have the conditions in the future, you can also buy the B-Rank Building Hundred Spirits Blood Pool, and then putting Taisui into it can steadily produce Blood Pills."
An adult Taisui was of immense help to the current Yang Fan. Once put into the divine kingdom, his believers could eat meat to their hearts' content, which would be of great benefit to Cultivating the Federal Body Refinement Technique.
"Before leaving, let me give you another piece of advice. Just now, Intelligent Lifeform only judged your divine kingdom's Prosperity Rating, while what I gave is investment advice.
The investment returns of the Moon Well, Sun Spring, and Water Lotus are all too low. Your Clan conditions are not good, so you must learn to let believers learn some skills and do high-return work.
The development of a divine kingdom requires huge Resources support. After leaving the Virtual World, quickly pack these things up and sell them, and find some other investments to do.
At such a young age, this investment style is even more steady than those old antiques. How can this do?
One more thing, ordinary people shouldn't even consider forcefully generating the Fountain of Life. The probability of this is even lower than you going out, running into an old man who takes a fancy to you, and casually transferring one hundred million Faith Points to you."
"Yes." Yang Fan's expression was a bit awkward.
Yang Fan hadn't thought about making high-return divine kingdom investments, but for him, the gains did not outweigh the losses.
The higher the threshold, the higher the investment return. This not only requires believers to have corresponding life skills, but Yang Fan also has to constantly stare at the believers working.
Just like his parents, every day they have to descend Divine Decrees to command believers to mine. If the mine is hollowed out, it will instead harm the Foundation of the ore vein.
And under the ten-fold Evolution Talent, this consumes too much energy.
One day of his own could top ten days of others. Even low-yield assets would become super profitable, and his energy should be more focused on improving the strength of believers.
If it weren't for the fact that Yang Fan was born into an ordinary Clan and was hardworking and studious, Li Qingying, being a deity, would not have given him alone pointers.
After Li Qingying left, Yang Fan did not immediately return to the Real World, because he received an invitation.
"Brother Yang, I booked a private room in Heavenly Fragrance Club. The coordinates are '369, 110, 1742'. You can teleport over by clicking the coordinates directly."
Yang Fan tapped the blue coordinates, and his entire person turned into data and arrived in a private room.
If he didn't know he was in the Virtual World, Yang Fan would almost suspect that all this was real right now.
The light fragrance of food, the advanced perfume smell, the sandalwood scent of the tables and chairs made people feel personally on the scene without any sense of anomaly.
"How is it? Coming for the first time, does it feel different from the situation in the classroom?" Looking at Yang Fan's surprised expression, Li Shuhao couldn't help saying.
"Indeed." Find the original chapter at g.com.
"This is the entertainment area. If it's not made realistic enough, who would come here to consume? From the perspective of the cerebral cortex secreting dopamine, this place is no different from the Real World.
Brother Yang, when you have time, you still have to come here often to play. Staring at the development of the divine kingdom with high intensity every day brings a lot of pressure."
"I am not as wealthy as Classmate Li; all my Faith Points have been used for divine kingdom investments," Yang Fan showed weakness and said.
"Brother Yang's personality really gets along with mine. This seems to be called 'Delayed Gratification'. Previously, when reading books on divine kingdom investments in the library, every book would mention this point.
The books say that if a deity wants to become wealthy, they must learn delayed gratification. The Faith Points we earn must be reinvested in the divine kingdom; compound interest is the first major miracle of divine kingdom investment.
Even if the annualized return on investment is only 10%, as long as you persist for 100 years, the return you finally obtain will be 13,780 times.
Brother Yang, do you think it's very magical? If an ordinary Clan can really achieve delayed gratification, can they also become wealthy one day in the future?" Li Shuhao took a deep breath and asked.
"It should be possible."
"A month ago, I thought the same way. I even planned that once the divine kingdom Awakened, I would let believers learn various life skills, and then make investments with peace of mind. After a hundred years, I would become a rich man and let my parents enjoy their old age in peace."
Speaking of this, Li Shuhao stood up, picked up a glass of red wine from the table, and looked out the window.
"Until I Awakened the C-rank talent Iron Body, and the Li Clan approached me, a collateral disciple, did I realize at that moment how ridiculous my thoughts were."
"I am a second-tier Genius of the Li Clan, and at that time I directly received the reward of one B-Rank Building and twenty C-rank buildings. If this were placed in the past, it would be wealth that I wouldn't dare to dream of by working hard for a lifetime.
In addition, I also have a Clan subsidy of 2 million Faith Points every month, and can enjoy a dividend of 10 million Faith Points from the Li Clan Genius Investment Fund every year.
Not afraid of Brother Yang laughing at me, at that time when I saw the Li Clan's legal team take out this contract for me, I almost fainted with happiness.
What bullshit compound interest investment, what delayed gratification can make you rich.
In this world, choice is far more important than hard effort, and luck often makes reality more dramatic."
"Congratulations to Classmate Li on ascending to the heavens in a single step." Yang Fan sighed with emotion.
Yang Fan also gained some insight today; he didn't expect that the wealth of these major families would be so immense.
