Chapter 64: Life in This World Depends Entirely on Acting Skills
"I was originally searching for resources on the periphery, but for some reason a while ago, the demon monkeys suddenly went mad and chased me everywhere. In my panic, I ended up here," Yang Fan explained hastily, his eyes filled with bitterness.
"Brother Tianheng, and Sister Bing, I still have three or four hundred thousand believers. Although they aren't very strong, they can help you scout the way ahead. This ghostly place has quite a few traps and defensive structures." Yang Fan demonstrated his value.
Luo Bing nodded, wanting to agree, but the four from the Li family were unwilling.
How many believers could scouting possibly consume? There was simply no need for them to bring along a dead weight.
Yang Fan carefully observed the changes in everyone's expressions. Without waiting for them to speak, he immediately took out resources from his Divine Kingdom.
"50 C-rank grain storage silos, countless spiritual fruits of various kinds, and one Medium-sized mineral vein."
The massive mineral vein appeared suddenly, causing the mountain peak to tremble.
"This is my biggest harvest from this trip. I hope Brother Tianheng can lead this little brother; this place is far too dangerous!" Yang Fan bowed respectfully to Li Tianheng.
Seeing this, everyone's expressions softened considerably.
This was worth nearly a billion points. They hadn't expected the person before them to have such a large harvest. If he could safely wait until the end of the assessment, with these resources, this person should be able to squeeze into the top ten.
"You are a member of our Luo Family; it is only right to take you out with us. There is no need for this," Luo Bing spoke up.
Hearing this, the four members of the Li family clearly looked displeased.
Although their group had harvested quite a bit, they hadn't managed to get any of the core assets of the Divine Kingdom in the end. A fire of frustration was currently suppressed in their hearts.
"Sister Bing, what you're saying isn't right. I'm asking for your protection, so how could I offer nothing? Divine Kingdom wars are too dangerous. After this experience, I've finally understood that I must never do things beyond my capabilities in the future."
"Although I've handed over most of my harvest, I've gained valuable experience from it."
"Most importantly, it's about making friends with all of you. In the past, even if I wanted to curry favor with you, I never had the chance!"
Yang Fan scratched his head, a shy look appearing on his face.
Seeing this, Li Tianheng hurried forward and, with a wave of his right hand, collected those resources into his Divine Kingdom.
"Brother Yang, don't worry. I'll guarantee your safety."
Seeing how sensible Yang Fan was, Li Tianheng's impression of him improved significantly.
Wasn't it perfectly normal to collect a little protection fee for taking him out of the core area of the Divine Kingdom?
"Thank you, Big Brother Tianheng. If you have any requests in the future, just let me know," Yang Fan stepped forward, looking at Li Tianheng with a face full of gratitude, appearing as if he would follow the other's every lead.
Seeing this scene, the three members of the Luo Family looked a bit upset, but they didn't say much. After all, this place was fraught with danger, and they still needed everyone to work together.
At this moment in the outside world, the Li Family elder, Li Yuan, could no longer control himself.
Li Yuan slammed his hand on the bench, stood up, and pointed at Luo Chengfeng, cursing, "Is this your grandson-in-law? He is simply shameless to the extreme!"
Li Tianheng and the others didn't know the real situation. They were currently being sold out without even realizing it.
Although Luo Chengfeng's expression was a bit awkward, he still said defiantly, "In a matter of life and death, how can one talk about the moral code of the martial world? Besides, your Li Family genius seems very satisfied with this protection fee!"
"Satisfied my foot! Why didn't he take out that Wonder?" Li Yuan was so angry he nearly spat blood.
By bringing Yang Fan along, Luo Bing and Li Tianheng would have to face the full firepower of the Demi-god. These few resources would likely not even cover their eventual losses.
This kid Yang Fan literally eats people without spitting out the bones!
"This kid's heart is a bit too black," Tie Wuqing said, caught between laughter and tears. He had already decided in his heart that after returning, he would have his son, Tie Feng, stay far away from this classmate.
"Hahaha, I actually admire this kid's shamelessness a bit!" Wan Sanqian laughed until his stomach hurt.
His strength clearly wasn't much, but by relying on acting skills, he had played the first and second-ranked students of the grade like fools. This could be considered a kind of talent.
Most of these gods had lived for thousands of years. Watching such a farcical scene unfold among the younger generation, they couldn't help but smile as well.
After joining Luo Bing and Li Tianheng's team, the pressure on Yang Fan lessened significantly.
As for letting his believers scout the way, he had no complaints and always took the lead. Moreover, because he didn't fear the loss of believers, the scouting efficiency was much higher, and the group's speed in leaving increased.
"Damn it, why has our luck been so bad these past few days? The number of these demon monkeys has increased two or three times over!"
"It is indeed strange."
Seeing everyone's confusion, Yang Fan quickly said, "The demon beasts here suddenly went mad a month ago. Did you guys steal the core structure of that Demi-god Demon Monkey?"
Hearing this, Li Tianheng's face twitched, and he didn't respond.
They had tried to steal it, but they hadn't succeeded.
Everyone's expressions were downcast. They all guessed that they were probably close to succeeding, which was what had caused the Alien Demi-god to go mad.
They hadn't gotten the goods but had ended up covered in trouble instead. It was embarrassing even to talk about.
"What do we do now?" one of them asked. After all, their losses during this period had been too great. Those remaining were the elites among their believers, and their numbers had already plummeted by five hundred thousand.
"Go to the periphery and regroup with the other students. We can only wait for the school teachers to take action!" Luo Bing sighed.
"Fuck those school teachers! Is this a damn midterm exam? They're playing me!"
"Stop complaining and leave quickly. I keep feeling like danger is approaching." Li Tianheng looked toward the core area of the Divine Kingdom, a trace of worry rising in his heart.
"Right, let's run quickly!" Yang Fan echoed.
If they were caught by that group of monkey soldiers from the valley, even Luo Bing and Li Tianheng's team wouldn't fare well.
"Big shots of the school, just how much longer are you going to keep watching the show? Hurry up and take action!" Yang Fan prayed incessantly in his heart.
Li Tianheng was true to his word. During this time, aside from letting Yang Fan scout, the demon monkey soldiers they encountered were all handled by the seven of them.
Relying on the recuperation during this period, Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom gained quite a few more Mortal believers.
"Just a bit further and we'll almost be at the periphery!" Luo Bing breathed a soft sigh of relief, her eyes now also filled with exhaustion.
At that moment, everyone instinctively turned around.
Thick smoke billowed, and towering ancient trees made rustling sounds. Millions of monkey soldiers, like ants, were chasing after them.
"Fuck your mother! I didn't even grab a single B-rank structure, yet they're chasing me all the way here!" Li Tianheng was furious.
"This Alien Demi-god is a psycho. Our consumption is too high; don't go head-to-head, leave quickly." Another person's face was grave.
Just then, a fifth-rank general among the monkey troop suddenly let out a sky-shaking roar.
"Humans, put down the structure, and we shall spare your lives."
Seeing this, Yang Fan rushed out and pointed at the demon monkey army, saying, "A pack of beasts! Your god is already a prisoner of my human race. Instead of obediently offering up structures to beg for mercy, you still dare to bark like dogs?"
Looking at the culprit before them, the demon monkey army could no longer endure it.
"Kill."
"Kill all the humans."
"For the god, kill all the humans."
No more dialogue; those demon monkeys charged straight at the army as if they had gone mad.
Seeing this, Li Tianheng instantly activated his talent, 'Mad Blood,' and an excited power covered all his believers.
"Maintain formation! Kill them all for me!"
