Chapter 53: Believer Population Explosion
Speaking to this point, Li Shuhao's gaze became a bit more solemn.
With the school rewards being so generous this time, nothing can withstand the test when faced with such immense interests.
During the assessment within the Alien Divine Kingdom, one must not only be careful of the alien god's believers but also be cautious of those classmates.
Li Shuhao had a feeling that Yang County No. 1 Middle School seemed to be raising Gu this year; they didn't want a high average strength for the students, but rather to cultivate one or two monsters.
"Brother Yang, the Divine Kingdom of a living Demi-god holds risks beyond imagination. This is essentially the final stages of a reclamation project. It wouldn't be an issue to interpret this as a job for a Demi-god powerhouse; I didn't expect the school to actually let us go this time."
"It is indeed very dangerous." Yang Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.
He had seen that mountain-high Goblin before, but he just didn't know what kind of believers the Demi-god involved in this assessment possessed.
"Cooperation between you and me can be a win-win. After all, we are classmates, and the level of trust is higher, isn't it?" Li Shuhao said seriously.
Yang Fan fell into deep thought, weighing the gains and losses.
A moment later, Yang Fan still shook his head and said, "For now, I have no intention of cooperating. Sorry."
After saying this, Yang Fan turned and signaled to Zhang Pang, then rose to exit the Virtual World together.
Li Shuhao was right about one thing: in this midterm exam, besides being careful of the Alien Demi-god, one must also be careful of their classmates.
In the Divine Kingdom of an Alien Demi-god, there naturally wouldn't be a lack of good things. When the time comes, how would the spoils be divided? Would someone stab another in the back? Was it possible for someone to slack off while others worked?
These were all problems; the human heart is far more complex than fighting against aliens.
With his SSS-rank Talent, Yang Fan naturally had more sources of troops than others. Cooperating with someone else to explore a Divine Kingdom would bring more disadvantages than benefits.
Looking at where Yang Fan disappeared, Li Shuhao felt it was a pity, but he could understand in his heart.
Now that the other party was part of the Luo Family, he would naturally prioritize the Luo Family when looking for partners.
Although he and Yang Fan were classmates, in the face of such major events, one must naturally prioritize personal interests. Li Shuhao didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
On the other side, in the second-floor loft of Mingyue Community, Zhang Pang took off his helmet and started going downstairs to eat.
Zhang Pang didn't take the midterm exam to heart; anyway, he was now Yang Fan's Subordinate God, so he just had to follow him.
After entering the Alien Divine Kingdom, he would follow all of Yang Fan's arrangements. As a logistics person, there was no need for him to feel so much pressure.
What Zhang Pang cared about most every day now was the growth of the blood condensing flowers in his Divine Kingdom; the midterm exam had to take a backseat.
"What a pity. That rich guy Li Shuhao didn't treat us at Heavenly Fragrance World today; I made a trip for nothing," Zhang Pang grumbled while eating.
During this period, he had benefited from Yang Fan's light and had gotten quite a few free meals.
In his Yang City villa, Yang Fan listed all the stock of mature blood condensing flowers, moonlight dew, and yang essence for sale online.
"After-tax profit of 275 million has been transferred to the Divine Kingdom."
"Faith Points: 352 million."
This time, Yang Fan only chose to buy 6 million blood condensing flower seeds because he wanted to clear out all the empty land around the four main cities.
The midterm exam had disrupted Yang Fan's deployment; he had to start vigorously developing his population.
To avoid letting his believers waste time, Yang Fan chose to directly purchase finished buildings from the Mechanical Divine Kingdom in the mall.
"F-rank Steel City: Adjustable size range, maximum 10,000 square kilometers, price 2 million."
"Merchant's Note: The city's perimeter is cast from refined iron and possesses basic defensive capabilities. It is equipped with a large number of houses and office buildings, with complete living facilities, and can be put into use immediately."
Yang Fan directly spent 10 million to load five Steel Cities into his Divine Kingdom.
This was considered the most expensive type of building among ordinary cities, but with Yang Fan's current income, he didn't care about this small expense.
As the Steel Cities were loaded into the Divine Kingdom, the living area for the believers expanded tenfold.
Such a massive city only cost 2 million Faith Points; basic materials and ordinary buildings in this era were truly cheap.
Subsequently, Yang Fan handed down a Divine Oracle.
"My believers, there will be a battle of life and death in 300 years. During this time, everyone must cultivate diligently, teach the younger generations well, and must not kill one another."
"We thank our God for His grace; we shall naturally strive our hardest."
After doing all this, Yang Fan bought another 300-year E-rank Breeding Card—fertility increased by 50%, infant mortality rate reduced by 50%.
He loaded it directly into his Divine Kingdom.
300 years was enough time for Yang Fan to push the believer population of his Divine Kingdom to the limit.
Under these drastic reforms, the believers in Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom were developing rapidly.
In the first decade, a total of 600,000 newborns were born.
With sufficient food, an excellent living environment, and enough living space, plus the boost from the Breeding Card, female believers basically gave birth to two children every three years.
By the third decade, the population in Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom had already surpassed one million.
In the real world, he continued to attend classes and study step-by-step every day.
Over the past few days, Yang Fan had also received invitations from other geniuses.
Some were from the Blacksmith Association, some from Zhongyuan Mansion, and of course, even more were from the geniuses of the Luo Family.
In just a few days, the entire third-year class had already formed several teams.
Some organization leaders personally sent invitations to Yang Fan, while others did so through intermediaries.
Li Shuhao also invited Yang Fan again, but this time he represented another genius from the Li Family.
Yang Fan naturally chose to reject them all.
These cooperating people either had a massive disparity in strength and were in a subordinate relationship, or they were of similar strength and were wary of each other.
Right now, they seemed full of enthusiasm and momentum, but when it came time to allocate resources, they would either resort to treachery or haggle incessantly.
There are no true friends in this world, only absolute interests.
Since he had enough support from his own troops, why would Yang Fan bother playing mind games with these people?
Furthermore, after so much time, Yang Fan hadn't heard of monster-level geniuses like Luo Bing or Li Tianheng making any moves.
Either they had enough confidence in their own strength and didn't need to cooperate with others, or their circle was higher, and Yang Fan didn't have the status to know yet.
Yang Fan continued to live as usual, unaffected by the outside world.
There was no lack of resources in the Divine Kingdom; he could rely on natural Evolution. Aside from interacting with his genius classmates, he spent an hour every day reading in the school library.
Whether it was the development of Human Divine Kingdoms or information on alien gods, Yang Fan still had too much knowledge to learn.
As a god, the road ahead was very, very long. He needed to be down-to-earth, taking it one step at a time, as long as the direction was right.
During this period, Yang Fan harvested another round of blood condensing flowers for a net profit of 120 million. Combined with the income from moonlight dew and yang essence, his Faith Points once again broke through the 400 million mark.
