Chapter 114: Do You… Want It?
Due to the unique atmosphere of Taichu City, both the resident gods and the newly joined students spent most of their time living in the real world.
Yang Fan also noticed that it had been quite noisy outside lately. After checking the group chat, he realized that the College Entrance Examination had ended, and many freshmen had arrived in Taichu City.
'Beep beep beep,' a notification sounded from his wristwatch.
It was Wen Yushui speaking in the group: "The living environment in Taichu City is just too poor; it's so noisy outside!"
Ye Jianfeng: "The dormitories for Grade A students are too close to us. I just went over and taught them a lesson; it's much better now."
Wen Yushui: "It's a bit of a hassle."
Sima Bang: "The population density of Taichu City is about a hundred times that of the outside world, so noise pollution is serious. You can buy Formation Plates for Soundproofing Formations in the mall."
"You can do that? Thanks, Big Brother Sima, you really are knowledgeable." Wen Yushui sent the message along with a 'heart' emoji.
"I've lived here since I was a child, so I naturally have more life experience." Sima Bang added, "I have slots for a Yellow-Grade Secret Realm. Do you guys want them? Ten thousand divinity points per person."
Ye Jianfeng: "So cheap?"
Sima Bang: "Internal Family price. Participants follow a fixed route for exploration; what you get depends entirely on luck."
Ye Jianfeng: "I want it. At the very least, I can harvest tens of thousands of divinity points. As expected of the Sima Family, one of the five giants—they are truly generous in nurturing the youth. This little brother is impressed!"
Wen Yushui: "I want it too. Long live Big Brother Sima."
At this moment, Yang Fan was checking some information.
"Secret Realms refer to ownerless Divine Kingdoms that have broken away from a god's control but still maintain a complete structure.
In essence, a Divine Kingdom is like an independent 'island' floating in the Void Realm, maintained by the will of a god.
When a god dies, some Divine Kingdoms do not collapse but stabilize themselves, drifting in the Void Realm to form special accessible spaces—Secret Realms.
The interior of a Secret Realm retains a complete ecosystem and resource cycle. Its operation is often more active, and the growth rate of resources far exceeds that of the outside world. spiritual plants multiply rapidly, and the recovery cycles for minerals and Yao Beasts are extremely short, giving them high development value.
Based on the tier of the original Divine Kingdom, Secret Realms are divided into four grades:
Heaven-Grade Secret Realm—Originating from high-tier gods' kingdoms, massive in scale with perfect rules and dense resources; extremely dangerous;
Earth-Grade Secret Realm—Originating from mid-tier gods, stable structure, rich in resources, suitable for long-term development; high danger;
Mystic-Grade Secret Realm—Originating from low-tier gods, moderate resources and moderate danger;
Yellow-Grade Secret Realm—Originating from demigod-level kingdoms, smaller in scale, mostly basic resource production areas; low danger.
Due to the immense value of Secret Realms, major powers usually dispatch legions to guard them long-term, establishing strongholds for blockade and continuous development."
After figuring out what a Secret Realm was, Yang Fan immediately messaged the group: "I want one too, thanks."
"Just transfer the divinity points to my Divine Kingdom, and I'll send you the entry permits."
Sima Bang wasn't worried about Yang Fan and the others defaulting on payment; he sent the entry permits to their inboxes first.
Sima Bang continued messaging: "This Secret Realm is a resource point for my Sima Family. There's no danger inside; just arrange for intelligent life to collect resources."
"Got it, thanks Big Brother Sima."
"Got it, let's get together again sometime."
Ye Jianfeng and Wen Yushui expressed their thanks.
A profit of tens of thousands of divinity points made even children of great families like them excited.
Perhaps only someone of Sima Bang's status would use such an opportunity to grant a favor!
"Received."
After replying, Yang Fan immediately transferred the divinity points to the other party and then began studying the entry permit.
"Yellow-Grade Secret Realm Exploration Permit (Coordinates: ***) — Sima Family Seal."
Yang Fan placed the permit into his Divine Kingdom and then tapped the coordinates. His consciousness was instantly sucked away by a spatial force.
"Please present your permit, sir!"
A person wearing a purple robe, stepping on a Flying Sword, floated in mid-air.
Yang Fan recognized at a glance that the other party was a believer, and at the very least, at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The aura emanating from him was much stronger than that of the Foundation Establishment Tree Demon King in his own Divine Kingdom.
Yang Fan took out the permit.
"One-time permit. Sir, please proceed to Channel 864."
An irresistible force suddenly descended!
In the next moment, Yang Fan found himself in another world.
The Spiritual Qi here was abundant, and the air carried a distinct vitality. The terrain was not very undulating, and Spiritual Plants were distributed neatly, showing faint signs of cultivation.
Further away, the aura of Yao Beasts roamed, but it wasn't chaotic; instead, it followed a certain pattern of "domestication."
Yang Fan's eyes flickered. "As expected of a Secret Realm guarded by a major power. It seems they come here periodically to harvest."
As the thought faded, the space vibrated slightly.
Yang Er's figure appeared first, followed closely by exactly five million believers, spreading out like a tide and quickly forming an array.
"Collect resources along the channel," Yang Fan arranged.
"Yes, Master." Yang Er nodded and then organized the believers to start working.
Clearly, whether it was the spiritual plants or the Yao Beasts, these were resources previously released and nurtured by the Sima Family.
To Yang Fan, he didn't care much about this small amount of resource profit; the main reason he agreed was to broaden his horizons.
As expected of the Sima Family, one of the five giants—they truly have many ways to nurture the younger generation.
His consciousness quickly withdrew.
When he opened his eyes again, Yang Fan had returned to reality.
He put on his helmet, and his consciousness entered the Virtual World.
Soon, he received three invitation messages from Luo Bing, Li Shuhao, and Zhang Pang respectively.
Yang Fan first clicked on Luo Bing's coordinates.
Looking at the location, a flash of disappointment crossed Yang Fan's mind.
It was actually the Luo Family conference room. He had originally thought this ice beauty missed him, but now it seemed he was being over-affectionate.
"Bing…" Yang Fan started, unsure of how to address her.
Luo Bing bit her lip slightly. "Just call me Luo Bing. How is Taichu Academy?"
"It's alright, quite free."
"The College Entrance Examination is over, and my results are out. I'm going to Tianshui University in the Luotian Star Domain." Luo Bing seemed to be reporting for work.
Yang Fan nodded to show he understood.
In this era, one didn't need to apply for university themselves. Instead, the moment the exam results came out, an intelligent life would automatically assign them.
Luo Bing suddenly stared into Yang Fan's eyes. "Do you… want it?"
"Cough, cough, cough, why would you say that?" Yang Fan's old face turned red.
"Then why have you been staring at my chest?"
"Sorry, force of habit!"
"Pervert!"
Before Yang Fan could answer, Luo Bing had already left the Virtual World.
Seeing this, Yang Fan was completely stunned.
"Damn, I do want it! The conference room is fine too! Why run so fast?" Yang Fan complained.
He shook his head with a bitter smile and then clicked on Zhang Pang's coordinates.
"Godfather, your son missed you to death!"
