Chapter 159: Growth, Alien Gatherer

Yang Fan took a deep breath and sat up abruptly from the bed.

Without hesitation, he put on the helmet and his consciousness entered the Virtual World.

"Welcome, Human Race Prodigy Yang Fan. Please select a coordinate." A cold mechanical voice rang out.

Yang Fan raised his hand and tapped on Taichu City.

The next instant, his consciousness was instantly pulled in.

Wen Yushui once said that Taichu City possessed the most complete and massive library system of the Human Race. Every student of Taichu Academy could access it for free.

Yang Fan slowly exhaled; with the SSS-rank Evolution Talent, he was confident he would become stronger in the future.

But he did not want to become a "Puppet" that only relied on intelligent life, a fool who possessed power but was ignorant and foolish.

Yang Da's words today had undoubtedly served as a wake-up call for him.

In this world, just because you possess something does not mean you will definitely be able to keep it.

A person's cognition and vision determine the upper limit of the resources they can command.

Whether it is wealth or power, it is essentially a reflection of one's "height of thought."

When one's ability is insufficient to support everything one possesses, those things that seem to belong to you will eventually slip away in another way.

It is just like a poor person who gets rich overnight; even if they win the lottery and become a billionaire, if their cognition does not change, they may not necessarily be able to keep that wealth in the end.

Yang Fan's gaze gradually became firm; he understood that he could no longer indulge in pleasure and could no longer waste time.

He needed to make up for his own shortcomings and become a god in the true sense.

In the Taichu City library, rows upon rows of classics stretched out of sight.

"《Basic and Advanced Strategies for Divine Kingdom Investment》, 《Comprehensive Explanation of Believer Cultivation Systems》, 《Divine Kingdom Resource Allocation and Revenue Models》, 《Detailed Explanation of Formation Construction and Battlefield Application》, 《Overview of the Human Race and Alien God-Kingdom Power Landscape》, 《Real-world Capital Operation and Equity Structure》…"

Time slipped away unknowingly.

A night passed, but Yang Fan did not feel the slightest bit of fatigue; on the contrary, his eyes were becoming increasingly clear.

Only now did Yang Fan realize that what Yang Da said was true.

His Mental Energy was far superior to before, and he could even remember everything he saw.

In just one night, he had finished reading two classics and had formed his own understanding.

The process of learning was indeed boring and painful at first, but once immersed in it, that feeling of constantly understanding and breaking through the boundaries of cognition would bring a continuous sense of achievement.

In the time that followed, Yang Fan almost permanently resided in the Virtual World, and the Taichu City library became the place he frequented most.

Except for occasionally meeting his family, he never stepped into Tianxiang Renjian again, nor did he go to see that "old friend" Liu Ruyan.

Time flew by, and by the time he came back to his senses, two whole months had passed in the real world.

During these two months, in addition to learning knowledge and broadening his horizons, Yang Fan could feel the changes in his own strength every day.

Six thousand years had passed in the Divine Kingdom; during this time, with Yang Da's full support, Yang San had conquered three demigod Divine Kingdoms.

Their divine kingdom core had also long been absorbed by Yang Fan.

His consciousness entered the Divine Kingdom, and the specific information appeared before his eyes.

With Yang Da presiding over the development of the Divine Kingdom, throughout these six thousand years, the entire Divine Kingdom had already undergone earth-shaking changes.

As it continuously devoured divine kingdom core, the territory continued to expand, and various investment projects were also being loaded and perfected in an orderly manner.

Today, the Divine Kingdom's main operating revenue still revolved around three core sectors: Dragon Fish farming, monkey wine brewing, and Spirit Stone production.

Under the blessing of the Hundredfold Evolution Talent, the monthly revenue from Dragon Fish farming in the real world was about 180 million divinity points, monkey wine was about 60 million, and Spirit Stone production was as high as 500 million.

Coupled with some scattered income, Yang Fan's monthly net income had stabilized at 800 million divinity points.

Unlike Yang Yi, Yang Da would never let divinity points "sit and gather dust."

Excluding the necessary defense system construction, the Divine Kingdom's current largest investment was the F-Rank Evolution Pod.

The total investment reached as high as one billion divinity points!

A full 100,000 Evolution Pods were distributed throughout the Divine Kingdom, and each could be recycled once every thirty years.

In one day of reality, three rounds of use could be completed.

In other words, every day in reality, 300,000 Mortal Believers could leap to become Fifth-order Being.

Even so, the number of Evolution Pods was still far from enough.

The population scale of the Divine Kingdom had already expanded to a terrifying degree.

Under various fertility incentive policies, as early as two thousand years ago, the total population of the Divine Kingdom had already exceeded 10 billion.

And with the continuous investment in Evolution Pods, the future "starting point" for Believers in the Divine Kingdom would no longer be Mortal. It would be Fifth-order Being.

The improvement in overall combat power also directly drove the rhythm of war. Now, the frequency of Divine Kingdom War was becoming higher and higher.

To this end, Yang Da specially configured a batch of mechanical units for Yang Er—Alien Gatherer.

These units also came from the Mechanical Divine Kingdom; their individual combat power was only equivalent to ranked beings, but they were extremely efficient in repetitive tasks such as resource collection, transportation, and dismantling.

Since then, after every Divine Kingdom War ended, the task of resource recovery was entirely undertaken by these mechanical life forms.

Yang Fan's Believers no longer needed to waste time doing this "inefficient labor," and all their energy was focused on Cultivate and combat.

In fact, given the current scale of the Divine Kingdom's output, those resources collected from Alien God-Kingdom were already insignificant.
