Chapter 49: Luo Family Additional Investment
Upon hearing the notification sound, Luo Chengfeng doubted for a moment if his ears were playing tricks on him, so he specifically went to check the data.
"Good lad, I really didn't misjudge you." Luo Chengfeng was overjoyed and stood up right in front of everyone.
"Old Fifteen, back then when I wanted to increase Yang Fan's benefits, you disagreed. What do you have to say now?"
Luo Chengfeng pointed at the old man sitting next to him and demanded an answer.
The contract benefits Yang Fan had signed with the Luo Family did indeed exceed those of an average second-tier genius; this was a decision Luo Chengfeng had made by overriding everyone else's objections.
At the time, many people had opposed it, but considering the situation of his granddaughter, Luo Rou, they gave him some face.
Looking at it now, it had actually recruited a true genius for the Luo Family.
Those ordinary people without resources would experience an explosive growth in strength in the short term after receiving investment from a large family. The greater the magnitude, the stronger the plasticity of their Divine Kingdom.
It had been less than two months since the Luo Family and Yang Fan signed the investment contract, with his Divine Kingdom having developed for about sixty years. Being able to reach 80th place in the Divine Kingdom Simulation Battle made him a dark horse worthy of attention.
"It's indeed not bad. I watched the recording of the Yang County No. 1 Middle School exam, and it seems I underestimated his potential."
"I recall the initial funding provided by the family was only 100 million plus one B-grade building, right? Can his strength really have improved that much? Chengfeng, you didn't give him the 'Immortal Cultivation Tower' from your own Divine Kingdom, did you?" Another elder asked with a look of suspicion.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chengfeng couldn't help but spit, "Do you think I'm a fool? The Immortal Cultivation Tower is my core building, the capital I rely on for survival. He is my granddaughter's husband, not my ancestor."
Hearing this, the elder who had just spoken also felt it made sense and waved his hand awkwardly.
It was indeed so. The core buildings in a Divine Kingdom were too important. Unless one was nearing the end of their lifespan, it was impossible to give them away even to one's own children, let alone an outsider.
"Everyone, although Yang Fan has a different surname, he is now considered part of the Luo Family. Furthermore, my granddaughter is pregnant, so I believe the Luo Family can increase our investment."
After all, Yang Fan was his granddaughter's husband. Since he had talent, Luo Chengfeng naturally wanted to take this opportunity to secure another wave of investment for him.
This was the family council, and with the intelligent life broadcasting the news, it was truly a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.
"Does Elder Chengfeng have any suggestions?" asked Luo Hai, the head of the Luo Family, who was sitting in the main seat.
"I believe that given Yang Fan's rate of progress, he is not inferior to a first-tier genius. The family could establish another first-tier genius quota." Luo Chengfeng took a deep breath.
"Damn it, Luo Chengfeng, you are too shameless. Based on Yang Fan's current performance, he is probably a hundred thousand miles away from being a first-tier genius. Even though he is your granddaughter's husband, you can't be this biased."
"That's right. First-tier geniuses are a matter of great importance, and each one requires the investment of strategic resources. Leaving aside the fact that his current potential isn't enough, just the fact that his surname is Yang? That alone is a non-starter."
"This is simply nonsense. The family head asked you for an opinion, not for you to daydream!"
The Luo Family gods present all started to complain.
Family resources were limited; if an extra first-tier genius were added, everyone else's resources would decrease, so naturally, they were unwilling.
"Alright, Elder Chengfeng, we've known each other for thousands of years, so stop playing those games of asking for the moon and bargaining on the spot. Yang Fan's performance is indeed good. We will allocate 500 million from the family accounts to him. If he shows more impressive results in the future, the Luo Family will naturally add more investment."
"The family needs fresh blood. Even if his surname isn't Luo, as long as he demonstrates enough value, we won't be stingy." Luo Hai stated his decision.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chengfeng sat back in his seat, but he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from curling up.
"500 million in investment is enough for this kid to develop for a while." Luo Chengfeng was in a great mood.
Luo Hai continued, "Back to the main topic, the family's recent reclamation efforts have yielded significant results. Let's discuss the resource allocation."
Hearing this, all the elders present put on serious expressions.
New resource points involved significant interests; this was the main purpose of today's meeting. A genius who was still just a Divine Creature was not yet worthy of too much attention from this group of gods.
After receiving the Luo Family's resource reward, Yang Fan had been browsing the mall and the God Forum, researching what his Divine Kingdom needed most at the moment.
Recently, accompanied by her mother, Sun Rong, Luo Rou had been frequently going to the hospital for prenatal check-ups. Although her health hadn't improved, her spirits were clearly much better, perhaps because she now had hope for the future.
Luo Rou pushed open the bedroom door and said in a slightly urgent tone, "Husband, Grandfather wants us to go to the Luo Family's base in the Virtual World to find him together."
"Okay."
Yang Fan nodded, took the helmet from the nightstand, helped Luo Rou put it on first, and then their consciousnesses entered the Virtual World together.
"I'll ask Grandfather to send me the coordinates, and we'll go directly to his studio," said Luo Rou.
Since her Divine Kingdom was damaged, Luo Rou had rarely entered the Virtual World and had never been to the Luo Family base, so as to avoid running into people she used to know.
Now that she was a cripple, if she ran into acquaintances, she wouldn't dare to step forward to greet them, as it would only increase the awkwardness.
Following the coordinates, Yang Fan and his wife teleported directly in front of Luo Chengfeng.
"Little Yang, you really gave this old man a huge surprise this time. At today's family council, the way those old guys looked at me was full of envy." Luo Chengfeng laughed loudly.
Upon hearing this, Luo Rou was a bit confused; she had no idea what her husband had done to make her grandfather so happy.
Luo Rou looked at Yang Fan with a confused expression, seemingly waiting for an explanation.
Looking at his own granddaughter, Luo Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If Luo Rou's Divine Kingdom hadn't been damaged, the two would truly have been a match made in heaven.
"I wonder what Grandfather is referring to?" Yang Fan had some guesses in his heart but couldn't be sure.
"You kid probably don't even know what an amazing thing you've done. It hasn't even been three months since you joined the Luo Family, and you've already climbed to 80th place in the Divine Kingdom Simulation Battle family rankings. Even I misjudged you." Luo Chengfeng was full of gratification.
Upon hearing this, Luo Rou's eyes were filled with shock.
"8… 80th place!"
As a direct descendant of the Luo Family, Luo Rou knew best the value of the family simulation battle leaderboard.
She had only barely squeezed into the top 100 before her College Entrance Examination, and now her husband had already surpassed her best achievement.
One must know that the third-year midterm exam hadn't even started yet; the disparity between them was clear to see.
Luo Chengfeng continued, "Alright, the timing of your participation in the Divine Kingdom Simulation Battle was excellent. The family's intelligent life broadcast it publicly, and even the family head remembers your name. I have secured a direct investment of 500 million Faith Points for you this time. The family head has already signed off on it, and your Divine Kingdom will receive it shortly."
"Thank you, Grandfather." Yang Fan was overjoyed.
This was the benefit of having someone behind him. If it weren't for Luo Chengfeng, a First-Order God, standing behind him, the Luo Family might not have gone out of their way to give him such a large reward.
After all, his surname was Yang, not Luo.
