Chapter 192: Changes in the Hometown

Yang Fan didn't hesitate and put on the virtual helmet directly.

His consciousness blurred for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to Yang County, surrounded by the familiar urban scenery.

However, compared to before, the entire Yang County was clearly much more prosperous now.

Streets were widened, buildings were renovated, and there were even many patrol machines in the sky.

Upon arriving at the Yang City Villa area, as far as Yang Fan could see, the security force had greatly increased.

There was a post every three steps and a sentry every five. He could even see people from the Federal special departments patrolling nearby.

After entering the villa, Yang Fan swept his gaze and found that many people were already sitting inside.

Yang Tiexin and Sun Rong sat in the main seats. Although they tried their best to remain calm, their eyes still carried a hint of hard-to-conceal excitement and pride.

Luo Rou and Luo Bing sat quietly to the side. When the two women saw Yang Fan, their eyes clearly lit up.

Besides them, there were many familiar faces.

Luo Family head Luo Hai, Luo Rou's grandfather Luo Chengfeng, High School Principal Hong Bing, Yang County Magistrate Wang Yun, and Yang Fan's former friend Zhang Pang.

At this moment, however, the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat strange. Even Principal Hong Bing and Magistrate Wang Yun, who were Third-Order Gods, sat quietly in the side seats with constrained expressions, faintly carrying a hint of nervousness.

Seeing Yang Fan enter, the people who were originally talking almost all stood up at the same time.

"Fan'er is back."

"Sit down quickly."

"Haha, long time no see, Great Genius."

Everyone showed smiles, but those smiles clearly had an added layer of caution.

Even Magistrate Wang Yun and Principal Hong Bing subconsciously lowered their voices when they spoke.

Today's Yang Fan was no longer the Yang County student he once was.

Although no one knew exactly how far he had gone in Taichu City, based solely on the subsequent series of actions by the Federation, everyone could guess that Yang Fan's current status was already higher than they could imagine.

…

"Actually, I didn't want to disturb you," Yang Tiexin spoke first. "Attending school in Taichu City, there must be many things to do."

Sun Rong also nodded quickly, "Yes, we just wanted to see how you've been lately."

Yang Fan smiled, "I'm doing okay."

Hearing this, Magistrate Wang Yun immediately took over the topic, his face full of emotion: "More than just okay, the entire Yang County has benefited immensely because of you. The Federation has recently allocated several batches of resources; all educational institutions have been renovated, and teachers' salaries have doubled. Even several neighboring counties have benefited by association."

"Now, let alone Yang County, even in the entire Tiannan City, no one doesn't know your name, Yang Fan. During our school's recent enrollment, the number of students has tripled," Principal Hong Bing sighed.

Speaking of this, the gaze with which Principal Hong Bing looked at Yang Fan also carried an irrepressible, complex expression.

Who could have imagined that the student who originally awakened an F-rank Resource Talent would reach such a height.

Luo Hai said with a face full of smiles: "The Luo Family has also received a lot of support from the Federation recently. Not only has the approval for our industries been fast-tracked, but we can even purchase a batch of strategic-grade resources fixed every year."

This far-sighted family head's voice was even trembling slightly at this moment.

Strategic-grade resources—previously, the Luo Family could only try their luck during land reclamation by invading alien gods.

But now, the Federal Government had taken the initiative to open up quotas.

Just based on this point alone, it wouldn't be long before the Luo Family could completely leave the Li Family behind.

Zhang Pang, sitting in the corner, was clearly somewhat nervous. Facing the current Yang Fan, he didn't even dare to speak, as the gap between them was now indescribably large.

However, Yang Fan took the initiative to smile and say, "What, you don't recognize me anymore?"

"It's mainly because you're now… too intimidating," Zhang Pang said, scratching his head awkwardly.

This one sentence immediately eased the atmosphere in the hall quite a bit.

Subsequently, Yang Fan also learned about the recent events from everyone's mouths.

Because he had signed a Subordinate God contract with Zhang Pang, the Federal Government had even sent special personnel to contact him. Subsequent resettlement and protection work were all arranged properly, and they even let Zhang Pang enter government work.

As for Luo Rou and Luo Bing, the two women's school records had been transferred to the Starry Heavens Favored Academy, and there were even gods protecting their safety.

In addition, the Divine Kingdom safety of Yang Tiexin and Sun Rong had long been secretly taken over by the Federation, and special personnel were also arranged to protect them in the real world.

It could be said that as long as someone was related to Yang Fan, they had been placed on the Federal Government's highest priority protection list.

…

This meeting did not last very long. Most of the time, everyone was accompanying Yang Fan in conversation, their words always carrying a hint of flattery and awe.

Yang Fan also felt some emotion about this; changes in strength and status could indeed change everything.

After the chat ended, Yang Fan's consciousness exited the Virtual World.

He slowly opened his eyes, and after a brief relaxation, he picked up his books again to continue studying.

Another five days passed in reality. Since the start of cultivating the soul-nourishing wood, the Divine Kingdom had developed for three thousand years.

Yang Fan's consciousness entered the Divine Kingdom, and with a thought, he pulled up the specific information.

"Divine Lord: Yang Fan

As the Divine Kingdom's area continued to expand, Yang Da also began to purchase corresponding amounts of Divine Kingdom assets to continue investing, but compared to the income from the Spirit Vein Stars…

Whether it was raising Dragon Fish or the spirit wine industry, the income had already become somewhat insignificant.

But even so, the Divine Kingdom's resources would still be utilized to the extreme.

For intelligent life, something like "waste" almost could not exist.
