Chapter 186: Young Lord

"The introduction to the new sections of the Virtual World is complete. If you have any questions or needs in the future, you may enter the Virtual World at any time to inquire."

Hearing this, Yang Fan bowed slightly to the federation supreme intelligent life, and then his consciousness returned to reality.

"Yang Da, what are your thoughts?" Yang Fan asked in his heart.

"Reporting to Master, I have received detailed information on all currently purchasable S-Rank Buildings in Taichu City. For the time being, I do not recommend purchasing immediately; you can continue to accumulate your quota," Yang Da replied.

"Reason?"

"First, although the Divine Kingdom's funds are currently abundant, most of the liquid capital has been invested into the F-Rank Evolution Pod procurement plan. It will be difficult to withdraw a large amount of resources in the short term. Even if you wish to purchase, you should at least wait until next month's resource inflow.

Second, the current potential of the Divine Kingdom's believers has not yet evolved to its limit. Whether it is Cultivation, Martial Arts, or the Mechanical Route, there is still immense room for growth.

Particularly regarding the Divine Kingdom's environment, with the support of the eleven earth heart milk source nests and the Spiritual Vein, the Spiritual Qi concentration far exceeds that of demigods of the same rank. For S-Rank Buildings like the 'Myriad Dao Evolution Sanctuary' that lean toward all-around amplification, investing now would not yield high returns.

As for the 'taixu war sky-boat,' if Master continues to choose ordinary-grade Alien God-Kingdom coordinates for war, given the current strength of the enemies, this type of strategic-grade war building is somewhat like using a cannon to hit a mosquito."

At this point, Yang Da paused for a moment.

"At the current stage, I still suggest focusing primarily on raising the overall strength of the believers.

However, if Master wishes to use S-Rank Buildings to accelerate the expansion speed of the Divine Kingdom, then I suggest prioritizing the purchase of two taixu war sky-boats in the future.

This building can directly participate in Divine Kingdom Wars against alien races, significantly increasing the efficiency of obtaining divine kingdom cores."

Hearing this, Yang Fan fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he slowly nodded. "In that case, we will develop according to the original plan. However, after next month's resource output, reserve 5 billion divinity points to purchase one taixu war sky-boat."

"Yes, Master."

Currently, the biggest Bottleneck for Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom was its area. As long as he continued to devour divine kingdom cores, the strength of his Divine Kingdom would continue to skyrocket.

And for an S-Rank war building like the taixu war sky-boat, he naturally wanted to witness its power.

"What are your thoughts on the Virtual World's Gu Family Spirit Domain?" Yang Fan continued to ask.

"I have already screened a large number of resource prices."

"The value of resources in the Gu Family resource bank is extremely high; some strategic materials are even more than twice as cheap as in the Federation Mall.

However, sections like resource planets and special buildings are of little significance to Master at present. With the current scale of the Divine Kingdom's assets, you have not yet reached the entry threshold for the relevant permissions," Yang Da replied calmly.

Yang Fan nodded.

This was the terrifying aspect of an intelligent life. With such a massive data stream, if he had to figure it out himself, it might take months to fully understand it.

"In that case, I will leave all future resource purchase and sales channels to you," Yang Fan ordered directly.

"Yes, Master."

After arranging everything, Yang Fan did not rest. Instead, he opened the 'Outline of Divine Kingdom War' again and began his study for the day.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; knowledge needs to be accumulated bit by bit.

That night, Yang Fan did not close his eyes once. It wasn't until the next morning that a new email suddenly popped up.

The sender was the Gu Family Spirit Domain.

Yang Fan clicked it open immediately: "Respected Young Lord Yang Fan, the Gu Family has preliminary screened marriage candidates for you. Please proceed to the Gu Family Restaurant in Taichu City at nine o'clock this morning. Someone will be there to receive you."

The content of the email was very brief, but Yang Fan did not dare to be the least bit negligent.

He had already accepted the Gu Family's investment, and they were one of the Five Great Giants of the Human Race. He naturally couldn't be rude in such matters.

After a simple wash, Yang Fan left the small courtyard.

The Gu Family Restaurant was not far from the Yuexiang Pavilion, but this was the first time Yang Fan had come here.

In a place like Taichu City, almost all of the Five Great Giants possessed their own properties.

The Sima Family had the Yuexiang Pavilion, and the Gu Family naturally had its own restaurant.

Yang Fan looked up and saw an ancient building hundreds of feet tall standing quietly ahead. The entire structure was a dark gold color, with countless runes flowing across the building's surface, and Spiritual Qi surrounding it like mist.

Above the eaves of the pavilion hung a massive plaque—Gu Family Restaurant.

Just as Yang Fan approached, a middle-aged man wearing a black-and-gold long robe quickly stepped forward from the restaurant's entrance to meet him.

The man's aura was unfathomable; he was clearly a true God.

Despite being a God, the man took the initiative to bow, lowering his posture to the extreme.

"Greetings, Young Lord! I am the manager of the Gu Family Restaurant, Gu Yuanshan. It is truly an honor for the Young Lord to grace the Gu Family Restaurant with your presence. From now on, whenever the Young Lord visits the Gu Family Restaurant, you will receive a seventy percent discount." Gu Yuanshan's voice was full of respect, and even carried a hint of fawning.

His manner made it seem as if he were not facing a demigod student, but rather a future high-level member of the Family.

Meanwhile, the surrounding servers all lowered their heads, not daring to meet Yang Fan's eyes.

After experiencing the scene at Yuexiang Pavilion yesterday, Yang Fan was much calmer about this.

In a place like Taichu City, potential was more important than current strength.

Especially now that he had been evaluated as a peerless prodigy, he belonged to the very top tier of students in the entire Taichu Academy.

"Why did you just refer to me as 'Young Lord'?" Yang Fan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Hearing this, Gu Yuanshan immediately explained respectfully, "A Human Race Prodigy may be called Your Highness, while a peerless prodigy is called a Young Lord."

"The term 'Young Lord' implies a person qualified to rule over a region in the future. The territory of the Human Federation is vast, and every peerless prodigy has the potential to grow into a High-tier God who suppresses a domain and deters all races.

Internally, they can govern billions of believers in their Divine Kingdom. Externally, they can lead armies to war and crush alien races. Therefore, they are addressed with the title 'Lord'."

Hearing this, Yang Fan only gave a faint smile.

The titles Taichu Academy gave to its students were each more resounding than the last.

He didn't care much for it. Whether it was 'Your Highness' or 'Young Lord,' they were just empty names.

Developing the Divine Kingdom and becoming stronger—that was what truly belonged to him.

Afterward, under Gu Yuanshan's lead, Yang Fan went all the way to the top floor of the Gu Family Restaurant.

Compared to the luxury and bustle below, it was excessively quiet here.

The entire floor had only a faint scent of sandalwood drifting about, with Spiritual Qi flowing slowly like mist. One could even faintly see Formation patterns underfoot, and the surrounding sounds became exceptionally still.

Clearly, this place was not just a private restaurant room, but also functioned to isolate any prying eyes.

At the very front, a wooden door was slightly open.

Yang Fan looked up and saw a slender figure from behind, sitting quietly by the window.

The woman wore a light green dress, her waist was slender, and her black hair fell like a waterfall. Just the view of her back gave off an extremely stunning impression.
