Chapter 130: The Child is Born—Yang Chengrou
One month later.
Outside Taichu City.
Yang Fan and Tang Yue returned together.
Arriving at the entrance of the small courtyard, Tang Yue looked at Yang Fan with a slightly strange expression. She hesitated for a moment but decided not to speak up.
“Your Highness, I will be heading back first.”
Yang Fan nodded.
Tang Yue turned to leave, but a flurry of complex thoughts couldn't help but surface in her heart.
A month, an entire month.
Time in Taichu City was so precious; every second was enough to widen the gap between geniuses.
Yet Yang Fan had stayed at the Vacation Star Hotel for a full month.
Tang Yue had long since reached her limit; this wasn't relaxation, it was clearly… indulging in pleasure.
Divine Kingdom development, Formation insights, resource trading, and networking with various geniuses—these priority matters were all things Yang Fan hadn't done.
Tang Yue had even dropped hints several times, but Yang Fan merely smiled and never responded.
Over time, she stopped saying anything.
After all, Yang Fan was not her junior, and the path of Divine Kingdom development primarily relied on oneself.
This Highness was different from every other Genius she had ever met.
After returning to the small courtyard, just as Yang Fan sat down, Yang Yi's notification sounded in his mind.
“Purchase Request: One hundred immortal breeding towers, fifty Spiritual Veins.”
Yang Fan glanced at it, his expression normal.
“Request approved.”
He had already grown accustomed to requests of this level.
Almost every few days, similar notifications would appear, and his handling method remained the same—approve them all.
With the support of his Evolution Talent, he didn't need to delve into complex or obscure paths; he only needed Yang Yi to conduct Divine Kingdom investments in the most orthodox and stable manner.
After all, his investment returns were amplified a hundredfold.
Investment in his believers thus became extremely simple—
As long as it was good, use it.
As long as it was expensive, provide it.
Currently, the largest expense within the Divine Kingdom was concentrated on Medicinal Pills.
Most of these pills came from high-tier Cultivation Divine Kingdoms, including Taixuan Spirit-Nourishing Pills, Nine-Revolution Body-Tempering Pills, Profound-Origin Qi-Condensing Pills, Purple Mansion Meridian-Opening Pills, True Spirit Origin-Returning Pills…
The grades of these pills were not low, so their prices were naturally staggering.
For this reason, Yang Fan had specifically conducted a statistical analysis.
Calculated by real-world time, in just one month, his consumption of pills approached sixty million divinity points.
The reason it was so expensive was that under the Evolution Talent, this actually corresponded to three thousand years of total resource consumption for the believers in the Divine Kingdom.
Because resources were so abundant, Yang Yi no longer even distinguished between talent Ranks when allocating them.
All believers were given the maximum ration uniformly.
Spirit Stones were unlimited, spiritual grain was unlimited, Dragon meat served as a standard supply, and Medicinal Pills were similarly distributed on demand.
If not for the limits of what the Physical Body could bear, even those Mortal-level believers could have consumed high-tier pills infinitely.
It could be said that the living standards of the believers in the Divine Kingdom now far exceeded those of the vast majority of Divine Beings in reality, even surpassing many demigods.
And even so, the Divine Kingdom's expenditures still didn't even reach half of its total income.
The reason was also simple.
First, he earned enough.
Second, the overall strength of the current believers was not yet strong enough.
The higher the strength of the believers, the more terrifying their resource consumption. As the believers' strength rose, resource expenditures would increase geometrically. Perhaps one day, income and expenses would gradually reach a balance.
By then, what Yang Fan would need to consider would no longer be 'how to spend money crazily,' but rather continuing to expand more Divine Kingdom assets.
Just as Yang Fan finished processing the previous request, Yang Yi's voice rang out in his mind again.
“Expansion Request: Martial Cultivation system construction.”
“Request Details: wonder Worlds Number One Martial Arts Arena, quantity increased to fifty.”
“Request approved.”
Yang Yi's voice continued.
“Purchase Request: B-Grade Building Prison-Suppressing Body-Refining Tower (similar to immortal breeding tower buildings), price 1,000 divinity points.
Through the superposition of gravity fields and Spiritual Pressure, it continuously tempers the Physical Body, increasing bone strength and the blood-qi limit, while also providing auxiliary effects for martial comprehension.”
“Requested Quantity: Twenty.”
“Request approved.”
A moment later, another notification sounded.
“Construction Request: wonder building Myriad Manifestation Battle Stele, price 10,000 divinity points.
It gathers Battle Intent and martial traces for believers to comprehend Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques, enhancing combat comprehension and the compatibility between the Physical Body and will.”
“Requested Quantity: One.”
“Request approved.”
A series of resource mobilizations were all completed in an instant.
For Yang Fan, as long as it was an investment for the growth of his believers, there was almost no need for deliberation.
Since funds were sufficient, the only correct choice was to convert them into strength.
If resources were merely piled up there, they were meaningless in themselves.
Only by being consumed and transformed could they truly generate value.
Otherwise, no matter how much wealth there was, it was just a pile of burdens that no one could protect.
After all, wealth was never the source of power. It was merely an accessory allowed to exist by power.
Another month passed.
On this day, Yang Fan received a message from Luo Chengfeng.
“Come to the Virtual World, coordinates ***”
Yang Fan put on the helmet, his consciousness connected, and in the next instant, he appeared in a private hospital room.
Luo Chengfeng stood to the side, his expression carrying a rare gentleness; Luo Rou lay on the hospital bed, her complexion slightly weak, yet unable to hide the softness in her eyes; Yang Tiexin and Sun Rong were also there, their faces filled with irrepressible joy.
And by the bedside, an infant lay quietly.
Yang Fan was slightly startled. “The baby's been born?”
Luo Chengfeng laughed. “Just a short while ago. We were waiting for you.”
Yang Fan's gaze fell on Luo Rou, his tone softening a bit. “It must have been hard on you.”
“Then you have to compensate me,” Luo Rou said softly.
“How should I compensate you?”
Luo Rou tilted her chin, indicating the child by the bed. “You get to choose the name.”
“And—” She paused, her tone becoming a bit more serious: “The child will take your surname.”
“My surname?” Yang Fan was stunned for a moment.
According to the original contract, this child should have been surnamed Luo.
“This is Grandfather's wish,” Luo Rou said.
Luo Chengfeng nodded. “Whose surname the child takes is a small matter. Once he awakens his Divine Kingdom, regardless of his talent, he will enjoy the treatment of a Luo Family First-Class Genius. You don't need to overthink it.”
Hearing this, Yang Fan naturally understood. The Luo Family had considered even this detail, not wanting him to feel like he had 'married into' their family, to avoid any resentment.
Luo Chengfeng looked at the two of them and suddenly smiled. “Alright, we old folks won't disturb you anymore. We're going out to take the child with us.”
Sun Rong and Yang Tiexin also smiled and agreed: “You two young ones chat.”
The three of them quickly exited the Virtual World.
In the hospital room, only Yang Fan and Luo Rou remained.
Luo Rou smiled. “Come on, pick a name.”
“This… I'm not very good at this.” Yang Fan coughed dryly.
Luo Rou raised an eyebrow. “Try.”
Yang Fan thought seriously for two seconds. “Then… how about Yang San?”
The air instantly went silent.
Luo Rou stared at him for a moment, then unceremoniously rolled her eyes.
“Are you serious?”
Yang Fan remained expressionless. “It's simple and easy to remember.”
Luo Rou couldn't help but laugh, then shook her head. “Forget it, I'll do it.”
She looked down at the child, her eyes softening. “He shall be called—Yang Chengrou.”
“What do you think?”
“It's fine,” Yang Fan nodded.
Every detail in the hospital room was extremely realistic, almost indistinguishable from reality.
After Yang Fan reached out to play with the child for a bit, he placed him back by the bedside.
“You should rest well.”
Luo Rou suddenly spoke up: “Husband, those forty thousand divinity points you gave me before were too much. I only used two thousand.”
“Now the Divine Kingdom is recovering very quickly. Within a year, it should return to the level it was during university.”
“I heard that expenses over in Taichu City are very high. Can you use these resources now? I can transfer the rest to you.”
After hearing this, Yang Fan smiled and reached out to gently stroke Luo Rou's head. “No need. You need to break through to become a demigod as soon as possible. After that, we'll find a way to push for godhood. You still have to stay by my side for a lifetime.”
Luo Rou was slightly startled, her eyes unconsciously softening.
“Okay.”
