Chapter 70: The Strong Have Always Been Lonely
After finishing all this, it was already evening. Yang Fan was about to organize his assets within his Divine Realm and then go to the mall for a shopping spree, but he received a message from Luo Chengfeng.
"Little Yang, let's meet in the Virtual World."
Yang Fan didn't dare to delay and immediately put on the helmet.
Inside the room, Luo Chengfeng's expression was a bit unsightly.
"Grandfather," Yang Fan said.
Looking at Yang Fan, Luo Chengfeng's expression softened quite a bit: "Before this midterm exam, because you had comprehended the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin Array to the Great Success stage, I went to see the Family Head. He promised that as long as you could make it into the top ten, he would convene an Elders' Meeting to strive for a first-class genius cultivation slot for you."
"What's the situation now?" Seeing Luo Chengfeng's expression, Yang Fan guessed that the result might not be good.
"The Elders' Meeting just ended, and ultimately, the resolution did not pass." Luo Chengfeng sighed, his expression somewhat unwilling.
According to the final exam results, Yang Fan could be said to have exceeded his task, but the methods he used were too opportunistic, and additionally, somewhat embarrassing. This became a point of attack for many elders.
Even if the Family Head intended to agree, there were too many opposing elders, so he had no choice but to drop it.
"It's fine, Grandfather did his best." Yang Fan smiled indifferently.
If it were before, becoming a Luo Family first-class genius would definitely have been timely help, but now it could only be considered the icing on the cake at most.
The biggest investment for a first-class genius is those strategic-level buildings, like the Ice God Temple in Luo Bing's Divine Realm.
He naturally wouldn't complain about having too many such buildings, but the Penglai Island, Spirit Peach Mountain, and enlightenment stone in his Divine Realm weren't bad either.
One can't have every benefit; Yang Fan was already very satisfied with this harvest.
Next, as long as he gave himself time, his Divine Realm would undergo rapid development. Within a year or two, Yang Fan was confident he could become a demigod.
Luo Chengfeng seemed to think of something and spat, saying: "Luo Xuan and Rao Mingming, that couple is really annoying. It was fine that I didn't cause trouble for them after they humiliated me back then, but they actually dared to trip me up. Truly shameless to the extreme!"
"Who are these two?"
"Luo Mingxuan's parents, First-Order Gods. We used to be on good terms, but because of their beast of a son, some unpleasantness arose. I didn't expect it to affect your evaluation this time," Luo Chengfeng explained.
If it hadn't been for these two leading the charge against him, most of the other elders would have given him some face.
Yang Fan realized. Aside from a bit more disgust for Luo Mingxuan, he wasn't particularly moved.
Without Luo Chengfeng, he probably wouldn't even have had this chance.
Having received benefits from others, one must naturally bear the corresponding karma.
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Once he graduated from school, he would find an opportunity to settle the score.
Looking at Yang Fan's calm expression, Luo Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Although I didn't manage to get you the first-class genius cultivation, the Family Head still decided to increase the investment in you: 2 billion Faith Points plus a B-grade building, the Sea of Flesh and Blood Pool."
"Faith Points have already been transferred to your Divine Realm. This is the building card for the Sea of Flesh and Blood Pool." Luo Chengfeng placed the card in Yang Fan's hand.
Seeing that the other party had once again secured investment for him, Yang Fan asked: "Grandfather, the school rewarded me with 10 billion Faith Points. Perhaps I can help Rou'er repair her Divine Realm!"
Hearing this, Luo Chengfeng's gaze toward Yang Fan gradually softened.
"That was something I told the girl Rou'er to give her some hope. Perhaps one day, when I, her grandfather, have saved enough money, her Divine Realm can be restored to its original state. If it were really that simple, I would have sold the buildings in my own Divine Realm to cure her long ago."
"Is there really no way?" Yang Fan's face looked grim.
Spending time with Luo Rou, he had truly come to accept her, and now they even had a child. No matter what, Yang Fan didn't want to give up.
"It's not that there's no way, but that we lack the connections and resources. It would require at least a Fourth-Order or even a Fifth-Order God to take action, and they would have to be skilled in healing. The Luo Family is just a small family in Yang County; it's very difficult to come into contact with such experts." Luo Chengfeng sighed.
Perhaps the Family Head, Luo Hai, could reach them, but it was impossible to ask for such a favor for this kind of matter.
Looking at Yang Fan's solemn expression, Luo Chengfeng reminded him: "Develop your Divine Realm well and get into a good university. If you can take a powerful god as your teacher, there might be a way to solve Rou'er's problem."
Yang Fan's eyes couldn't help but light up at these words.
"Having this intention is enough. Rou'er wouldn't want you to put all your energy into something so ethereal, after all, the two of you have a child."
"Yes, Grandfather."
"Rou'er has already contacted me, saying many people want to buy the wonders in your Divine Realm, the Spirit Peach Mountain and enlightenment stone. Remember, don't sell them to anyone. Once these things are sold, they can never be bought back."
"You are still a student. Under the protection of Federal Law, even a god wouldn't dare to move against you," Luo Chengfeng reminded.
"I understand."
Even if Luo Chengfeng hadn't said it, he wouldn't have agreed.
Earning Faith Points was for the sake of investing in his own Divine Realm. Selling these rare buildings for a large amount of Faith Points just to buy ordinary resources to invest back in—wasn't that insane?
"During this midterm exam, you really made that girl Luo Bing quite angry. If it weren't for the Family Head's broad-mindedness, you might have had a hard time later. If you get the chance, remember to ease the relationship."
"This…" Yang Fan's expression was a bit troubled.
Luo Bing was like a block of ice, and plus, he had already offended her to the core. He really couldn't think of any way to ease the relationship.
He'd be thanking the heavens if she didn't come looking for trouble.
"A person is good at wisdom but not at strength. Our human race can stand tall among many alien civilizations mostly by relying on the collective strength of everyone. Your harvest this time is so great that even gods are envious, but you've lost people's hearts."
"You'll be going to university after the College Entrance Examination. You're all from Yang County and should be the best candidates to support each other and progress together. If you can't ease the relationship, I'm afraid you'll have to fight alone once you go out." Luo Chengfeng sighed deeply, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.
As a god himself, he understood the importance of friends best.
If your Divine Realm is attacked by alien races, the family's gods will come to support you.
When going out to reclaim land, no matter how strong your believers are, war will consume a lot, and the overall strength of your Divine Realm will be slowly weakened.
Having a few friends to act together and share the pressure will greatly reduce the risks of Divine Realm wars.
And these allies who can defend and reclaim land together don't just rely on interests. They are either in the same family offensive and defensive alliance, or they have known each other since childhood and trust each other deeply.
After this exam, Yang Fan's reputation is completely ruined. Who would dare to cooperate with him in the future?
"I'll try!" Yang Fan said awkwardly.
After Luo Chengfeng left, Yang Fan also felt that what he said made sense. So he opened the Genius Exchange Group.
"I'm sorry. How about I treat everyone to a meal at Heavenly Fragrance World to apologize?"
Yang Fan clicked send.
"You have been kicked out of the group chat by the deputy group leader Li Tianheng and cannot receive or send messages."
A red exclamation mark and a system notification popped up simultaneously.
Yang Fan fell into silence for a moment.
"Forget it, the strong have always been lonely!" Yang Fan thought to himself, only able to comfort himself this way.
Unfortunately, he had lost another source of information.
