Chapter 107: Prodigy Classmates
Opening the contract, Yang Fan's expression suddenly turned to one of pleasant surprise, followed by a tight frown, before he finally threw the contract directly into the trash can.
The investment from the Yuan Dan Co., Ltd. was truly not low; once signed, he would first receive a capital subsidy of one hundred thousand divinity points, along with ten resource-type buildings valued at no less than three thousand divinity points each.
This was only the initial investment; as Yang Fan achieved his Breakthrough to demigod, the rewards would increase significantly.
As expected of a company from Taichu City, they were generous with their offers, but the conditions were equally harsh.
The other party required Yang Fan to sign a thousand-year labor contract with Yuan Dan Co., Ltd. after becoming a god, and 20% of all proceeds from the Divine Kingdom Battlefield would have to be handed over to the company for free.
With such draconian terms, no matter how lavish the investment, Yang Fan would never choose to agree.
“As expected, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. It’s a pity no one is recruiting me to be a live-in son-in-law anymore!” Yang Fan laughed self-deprecatingly.
Yang Fan was no longer that poor kid from Mingyue Community; he already had enough capital. Under his Ten-fold Evolution Talent, the resource output of his Divine Kingdom could now easily cover the expenses of his believers.
Under such circumstances, why would he give up long-term freedom for short-term interests?
“Ding-ling-ling,” the bell rang again.
“Are there really this many investment companies?” Yang Fan sighed and pulled open the door.
“You… you are?” Yang Fan looked at the visitor with some curiosity.
Standing before him was a massive fat man, 1.8 meters tall and weighing over three hundred catties.
The other party was a Divine Being just like Yang Fan, but the clothes he wore displayed runes at every moment, and his divine aura was fully revealed; one could tell at a glance they were no ordinary items.
“Sima Bang, I live next door. Just coming over for a visit,” the other party responded.
Yang Fan glanced at the small attic next door and said politely, “Yang Fan, I just enrolled today.”
“Come on, let's go eat. There are only four Prodigies in this area, and now that we're all here, let's have a small gathering.” Sima Bang pointed behind him, signaling for Yang Fan to follow.
The other party didn't seem to have considered that Yang Fan might refuse, and immediately led the way, waddling his backside which was three times the size of a normal person's.
“What did this brother grow up eating? At this rate, surpassing Luo Tietie is just around the corner,” Yang Fan complained inwardly.
Since he had nothing to do anyway, Yang Fan naturally wouldn't refuse to give the other party Face.
Not far from where they lived, there really was a restaurant.
“Greetings, Your Highness Sima.” The waiter in front of the restaurant was all smiles.
“Bring out a serving of your signature Phoenix Feather Feet; don't worry about anything else,” Sima Bang said with a wave of his hand.
“Right away, Your Highness, this way please.”
Yang Fan followed him and soon arrived at the most luxurious private room on the third floor.
Pushing open the door, two people were already sitting inside, one man and one woman.
The man had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and the aura emanating from him was incredibly powerful, appearing to be just a step away from a Breakthrough to demigod.
The woman had a quiet temperament; sitting there, she was like a pool of seawater, calm and without waves.
“The last brother has arrived, so I called you guys over for a gathering. In the future here in Taichu City, there will be many places where we’ll need to cooperate, so let’s get to know each other and make friends.”
Sima Bang took the seat of honor and gave Yang Fan a look, gesturing for him to sit down and talk.
“Ye Jianfeng, from the direct line of the Beihai Ye Family, S-rank talent Myriad Sword Body, Cultivation path.”
“Wen Yushui, of the Wen Family from Tiannan City, S-rank talent Water Deity, Cultivation path.”
“I've already told you my name. I am the 107th son of the head of the Sima Family in Taichu City. My talent is S-rank Devour, Martial Arts path.”
The three of them introduced themselves respectively.
“I am Yang Fan, S-rank talent Ten-fold Temporal Order, Cultivation path,” Yang Fan introduced himself as well.
“Surname Yang? From the Lingnan Yang Family?” Sima Bang asked curiously.
“No, I come from Yang County, a remote place. I am not from a Great Family,” Yang Fan replied truthfully.
As soon as he entered the room, Yang Fan could see that these three were all stronger than him, and the temperament they exuded clearly marked them as direct descendants of Great Families.
Unlike Luo Bing and Li Tianheng, the temperament of these three was more noble, as if they had occupied high positions for a long time.
Although their behavior was approachable, the pride in their eyes could not be hidden.
“Yang County?” Wen Yushui frowned slightly, feeling as if she had heard of this place before.
“Since we've all introduced ourselves, let's eat first and chat while we eat.”
Sima Bang snapped his fingers, and a card appeared in his hand. Then, a large amount of food manifested from the card onto the dining table.
There were only four people in the entire private room, but it was a large table for twenty, and it was now completely piled high with various dishes.
“I'm starving. Sorry, I'm going to start eating first. Because of my Divine Kingdom talent, not only are my believers particularly big eaters, but I am too. Please don't mind, you three!”
While speaking, Sima Bang first used his chopsticks to put a large piece of meat into Yang Fan's bowl, and then pulled the remaining two-thirds of the meat in front of himself.
“Don't be shy, brother. I already know these two. You guys chat, don't mind me,” Sima Bang said casually.
He seemed truly famished; as he wolfed it down, that large plate of meat was swallowed into his stomach in just two or three bites.
Looking at the unknown precious meat in his bowl, Yang Fan was somewhat shocked.
Although he didn't know what kind of Yao Beast meat it was, the terrifying life energy it emanated made him feel full just by taking a sniff.
It was hard to imagine that Sima Bang could feast on such high-energy food with such gusto.
“Is it because of the S-rank Devour talent?” Yang Fan wondered to himself.
“Brother Yang, this is Water Flood-Dragon meat from a Foundation Establishment stage Great Yao. I ate a bowl of it the day before yesterday and my stomach still feels uncomfortable. We don't have Young Master Sima's good stomach, so take it easy,” Ye Jianfeng reminded him from the side.
“Thank you,” Yang Fan said gratefully after taking a small taste.
With a wave of her right hand, Wen Yushui made a teapot appear on the table.
“This is Mind-Refreshing Tea, a specialty from my Divine Kingdom. Since Young Master Sima is eating such greasy food, why not have some plain tea with it?”
Wen Yushui poured a cup for all three of them.
“This Mind-Refreshing Tea of yours is really not bad; it's refreshing in the mouth. How much stock do you have? Why not sell it all to me, I'll let my believers have a taste too,” mumbled Sima Bang while still chewing food.
“There are still two tons in the Divine Kingdom's stock; I'll just give it to Young Master Sima,” Wen Yushui said indifferently.
Ye Jianfeng also took out a large plate of golden-yellow fruit from his Divine Kingdom.
“This is Sword Spirit Fruit; it tastes pretty good. Young Master Sima and Brother Yang can both try some.”
Yang Fan could see that the primary focus of Ye Jianfeng and Wen Yushui was on Sima Bang, and their intention to curry favor was very obvious.
This was likely related to the Sima Family behind him; the background of a Family that could stand tall in a place like Taichu City could well be imagined.
Seeing that all three had taken out specialties from their Divine Kingdoms to entertain, Yang Fan likewise took out the monkey wine he had brewed.
Smelling the wine's fragrance, Sima Bang's eyes lit up, and he directly snatched the entire wine pot over.
“monkey wine! I haven't drunk this in a long time. I didn't expect Brother Yang's Divine Kingdom to produce this too?” Sima Bang said somewhat nostalgically.
The other party drank the entire pot of monkey wine in one gulp!
Faced with this unconventional behavior, Yang Fan didn't mind at all and took out ten full jars from his Divine Kingdom and placed them on the table.
Seeing this scene, the looks in Ye Jianfeng and Wen Yushui's eyes as they watched Yang Fan changed slightly.
Although Yang Fan had no background, it now seemed that the foundation of his Divine Kingdom was not bad.
