Chapter 42: Luo Rou is Pregnant
After reaching this level, Yang Fan gradually realized that the way the wealthy played was truly different from ordinary people.
Unlike ordinary people, they had no survival worries; their families provided monthly subsidies, and every bit earned from investments in their divine kingdoms counted. Ninety-nine percent of their energy was focused on strengthening their believers.
These families who possessed gods relied on monopolizing trade and gaining information advantages to earn vast resources. Their descendants, meanwhile, relied on the support of their elders to quickly improve their strength and become the new generation of gods.
The strong remain strong, and it is always those ordinary Divine Creatures who are exploited.
Yang Fan did not feel indignant about this. The strong were merely utilizing the rules, not breaking them.
Those so-called heretics who wanted to overthrow the privileged class were merely opportunists looking for a shortcut.
If they succeeded, they would become the new privileged class; if they failed, most of those who died were just mindless pawns following the crowd.
Yang Fan was now a second-tier genius of the Luo Family and could be considered to have entered this system of the privileged, so the development path of his divine kingdom had undergone new changes.
"100,000 Bodhi Treasure Snakes, 50,000 Dark Night Vultures, 200,000 Spirit Fish Babies, 80,000 Dapeng Birds, 80,000 Peregrine Falcons, water lotus seeds… 1,000 pieces of thousand-year soul nourishing wood."
Yang Fan directly put his resources on a massive clearance sale. He no longer cared about the ecology of his divine kingdom, considering more the growth rate of these assets.
For example, with the Bodhi Treasure Snakes, Yang Fan would determine the environment that would yield the highest reproduction rate based on the amount of food around Snake Valley and the population density.
Once the number of these low-level demonic beasts was reduced to a certain level, Yang Fan could feel that the overall pressure on his divine kingdom had eased significantly.
Subsequently, Yang Fan spent another 60 million Faith Points to purchase 100 moon wells and sun springs respectively, leaving only emergency funds.
After completing the task, Yang Fan entered the Virtual World and sent a location invitation to Zhang Pang.
The Virtual World was much more interesting than reality; people in modern society, apart from sleeping, spent most of their time in the Virtual World.
Within just a few breaths, Zhang Pang arrived at the location.
"My Lord Main God, for what reason have you summoned this lowly one?" Zhang Pang put on an act of worship.
Yang Fan was speechless at this; the nicknames this kid came up with for him were becoming more and more numerous.
"Alright, let's talk business. I know of an investment for a divine kingdom that currently has high returns and low risk. You and Uncle Zhang should both consider giving it a try."
"What kind of investment?" Zhang Pang's face lit up with joy. The quality of information Yang Fan could access now was far higher than his own.
What is the easiest money to make in this world? Information asymmetry, of course!
"blood condensing flower. Go search for it yourself and discuss it with Uncle Zhang when you get home. The excess profits will only last for about a year, and you should be able to harvest two or three crops. Goodbye." Yang Fan explained.
Zhang Pang nodded subconsciously, his attention now entirely focused on the shopping mall.
"Damn, such huge profits!" Zhang Pang did not dare to delay. He immediately returned to reality and pulled his father, Zhang Wanshan, out of the Virtual World.
"Dad, that's the situation. Should we engage in Planting the blood condensing flower? Isn't the rate of return a bit too high?" Zhang Pang swallowed his saliva, looking at the high rate of return, and found it hard to believe.
If it hadn't been his brother Yang Fan who said it, Zhang Pang would have thought he had encountered a scam.
Zhang Wanshan took a deep breath: "I saw a few words on the God Forum. It should be related to high-grade hemostatic powder. These are frontline supplies; I'm afraid the war against the alien races is not looking optimistic."
"In other words, this is war profiteering?"
"Exactly."
"How did Brother Yang know such important information?" Zhang Pang was shocked.
"He is a genius of the Luo Family now, so it's normal for him to have many sources of information."
"Then should we cultivate it?"
"Of course! Why wouldn't we do an investment that is essentially picking up money? I'll mortgage the house and the grain shop in a while, and go get some high-interest loans. After finishing this deal, we'll go buy a house in the county center." Zhang Wanshan slammed the table, a look of greed flashing in his eyes.
"Doing it on such a large scale, is there any risk?" Zhang Pang swallowed his saliva. After all, he was still a high school senior and couldn't quite gauge the situation for a moment.
"What do you know? How can we ordinary people climb up without taking risks? By the way, you haven't told me how much profit we are going to share with Little Yang for this investment."
"He didn't say."
"???"
Luo Rou had gone out with her mother, Sun Rong, this morning and didn't return until noon.
Feeling the door being pushed open, Yang Fan logged out of the Virtual World.
At this moment, Luo Rou was in a good state, and a smile could not be hidden from the corners of her mouth.
Perhaps because of the abundance of water of life, her health had improved significantly during this period, and her face was no longer as gaunt as it had been at the beginning.
Yang Fan stood up, took her right hand, and transferred this month's 5 million Faith Points to her.
Luo Rou did not refuse this time, but looked up and said with a serious expression: "Husband, I went to the hospital for a check-up today. It's a boy."
Hearing this, Yang Fan was stunned, feeling both joyful and sentimental in his heart.
The theoretical lifespan of a Divine Creature is 500 years. Many people only have offspring after the age of 100 or even 200. Someone like Yang Fan, at 20-something, could definitely be considered to have married and had children early.
"By the time the child grows up, I feel like he could call me 'big brother'." Yang Fan grumbled inwardly.
Luo Rou hugged Yang Fan and asked: "Husband, what do you think would be a good name for our child?"
After interacting during this period, Luo Rou discovered that Yang Fan was not as unbearable as she had imagined, and the relationship between the two had become much more harmonious.
"I don't have a talent for naming things. You can just decide for yourself." Yang Fan said.
Luo Rou gave a soft acknowledgement, then said: "Grandfather wants to see you. It's in the Virtual World, and I've sent you the address."
"Alright, then I'll go there first. You should rest well. If the Faith Points are not enough, you can tell me. Since you are pregnant, you cannot have less water of life, so as not to affect the fetus."
"Rest assured, Husband, I know what I'm doing."
Yang Fan nodded and immediately put on the virtual helmet.
Luo Chengfeng was a First-Order God. Yang Fan dared not keep him waiting too long.
Tapping the coordinates, Yang Fan felt his consciousness pulled by a powerful suction force, instantly crossing space to arrive in the distant starry sky.
Just after arriving, he felt an extremely thick smell of blood.
"This is! A divine kingdom war!" Yang Fan's eyes widened like copper bells.
At this moment, Yang Fan's consciousness was at an altitude of hundreds of thousands of meters, yet he could clearly feel everything happening on the ground.
A Goblin, standing fully a hundred meters tall, held a giant axe and let out terrifying roars, while in front of it was a human flying on a sword.
With a flash of sword light, the Goblin's head was severed directly, and its body fell backward with a thunderous sound.
"Cultivation path. Is the strength of this believer at the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stage?" Yang Fan swallowed his saliva.
He could feel the powerful strength possessed by the believer below; I'm afraid that this one person alone could sweep through his own divine kingdom.
"Little Yang, you've arrived." Luo Chengfeng's voice appeared behind him.
