Chapter 85: B-Rank Technique, Everlasting Spring Technique
Although Yang Fan was currently ranked first, the gap between him, Luo Bing, and the others was narrowing. It was only a matter of time before his points were surpassed.
He was not surprised by this. During this period, following Yang Fan's instructions, Yang Yi had primarily used resources for the development of the Divine Kingdom, while the support given to Yang Er mostly consisted of Mortals without talent who served as expendable materials.
Even if Yang Er possessed powerful exploration capabilities, the progress remained slow if the believers lacked sufficient strength.
Only when the believers were strong enough would Yang Fan finally have the qualifications to explore the depths of the Divine Kingdom.
Relying on the support of intelligent life, he was already very satisfied with having achieved these gains on the outskirts of the Divine Kingdom.
Bringing his consciousness into the Divine Kingdom, Yang Yi and Yang Er immediately appeared before Yang Fan.
"Master." The two spoke in unison.
"Yang Er, I will allocate another ten thousand Tier 3 Beings and two hundred thousand Tier 2 Beings to you. In the time remaining, there is no need to continue sweeping for resources; do your best to head towards the core of the Divine Kingdom," Yang Fan instructed.
"Reporting to Master, there are already many Tier 1 demonic beasts where the army is currently located, numbering between thirty thousand and fifty thousand. If we continue to advance, the losses will likely be too great. Given the current population of the Divine Kingdom, we cannot replenish our troops, and it would be counterproductive," Yang Er reminded him.
"It doesn't matter, just do as I say."
Due to special rule restrictions, even with such significant changes in the Divine Kingdom, intelligent life forms like Yang Yi and Yang Er still had not noticed the anomaly in the Divine Kingdom's time flow.
Therefore, Yang Fan had to take the initiative and give the order. Exploration time was limited; if they continued to collect resources on the outskirts, he feared he would truly miss out on first place this time.
"Yang Yi, based on the current development speed, within 300 years of the Divine Kingdom's time, what is the most likely range for the number of high-tier believers?" Yang Fan asked.
Since the other party could not comprehend the existence of his Evolution Talent, Yang Fan could only estimate the future development of the Divine Kingdom in this way.
As a high-level intelligent life, Yang Yi possessed immense computing power and might be able to provide him with a relatively accurate judgment.
"Assuming the Divine Kingdom's environment is maintained, resource investment is maintained… Big data simulation calculates the believer aptitude change curve, the curve acceleration decreases year by year based on the large model, designing random variable x…"
"According to Master's request, the following conclusion is reached: In 300 years of the Divine Kingdom, the range for Tier 5 believers is 5 to 20; the range for Tier 4 believers is ten thousand to forty thousand; the range for Tier 3 believers is three hundred thousand to six hundred thousand."
Hearing this answer, Yang Fan did not continue to issue orders and returned his consciousness to reality.
"Once the number of Monkey Wine Springs reaches one hundred, I will start investing all resources into the believers themselves. There is still enough time," Yang Fan muttered to himself.
On the eve of the College Entrance Examination, for others, it would certainly be a race against time to pour resources into their believers and increase their strength as much as possible.
But Yang Fan was different. His Divine Kingdom's development time was ten times that of others, so he had no need to worry about whether his believers would have time to absorb the resources.
Five days later, Yang Fan was pushed down on the resource collection leaderboard by both Luo Bing and Li Tianheng.
Over the past twenty days, both their points had exceeded 20 billion, while Yang Fan's name had dropped past the top ten.
"Brother Tianheng, you were right. That guy Yang Fan just had good luck in the early stages. I actually sent people to gather intelligence on him; I was so stupid," Li Chengze said, his face full of shame.
"No need to blame yourself; you did it for the sake of the whole team. There is no need to pay attention to Yang Fan in the future; our main opponent is still Luo Bing. I am determined to win first place in this resource collection," Li Tianheng said, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"Defeat the Luo Family and help Brother Tianheng take first place."
"Take first place."
"Let's go!"
Everyone shouted, all cheering and boosting morale.
Li Tianheng's group consisted entirely of direct descendants of the Li Family. In this exploration of the resource points provided by the school, collecting resources was secondary; the core goal was to help Li Tianheng secure first place.
Compared to the strategic-level resource buildings provided by the school, the ordinary materials within the Alien Divine Kingdom were not as important.
"Brother Tianheng, this Alien Divine Kingdom is monitored by the school's intelligent life. Resources must be collected by your own believers to count as points. Therefore, the efficiency in this area is too low; we must go deeper," Li Chengze said.
"That's right. Although the core buildings of this Alien Divine Kingdom have already been taken away by the school, there might still be high-value resource buildings left behind. We must reach the core area before Luo Bing."
Li Tianheng nodded: "In that case, from now on, we will focus on marching. There is no need to send believers to collect spiritual plant resources with a value below one hundred thousand."
…
Another month passed, and the foot of Spirit Peach Mountain in the Divine Kingdom was already filled with Monkey Wine Springs.
Under Yang Yi's arrangement, there was a resource house every kilometer across the entire Spirit Peach Mountain.
Semi-automated harvesting machines filled the mountains and forests. The believers only patrolled the mountains, firstly to check if the machines were damaging the spiritual plants, and secondly to perform secondary collection of the spiritual fruits.
The resource houses and the Monkey Wine Springs were connected by fully automated conveyor belts, with spiritual fruits being automatically deposited.
80% of the work in the entire process had been replaced by machinery, saving a massive amount of manpower.
On this day, the number of Monkey Wine Springs finally reached one hundred.
Yang Fan brought his consciousness into the Divine Kingdom. Looking at the Monkey Wine Springs operating at full capacity, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
With an income of one hundred billion per month, it was now time to vigorously develop his believers.
"Believers: Tier 5 Beings (10), Tier 4 Beings (23,034), Tier 3 Beings (420,000), Tier 2 Beings (5.4 million), Tier 1 Beings (18.2 million), Mortals (26.7 million)."
Feeling the current strength and population structure of the believers in the Divine Kingdom, Yang Fan became increasingly confident.
If he were to participate in the Divine Kingdom Simulation Battle now, his results would definitely not be weaker than Luo Bing's.
"Master, the core investment buildings, the Monkey Wine Springs, have all been set up. The current Divine Kingdom has 12.3 billion Faith Points, of which 10 billion is needed to repay this month's interest for Elephant Borrow. Should the Divine Kingdom's resource output be primarily used to repay the loan principal from now on?" Yang Yi asked respectfully.
Yang Fan shook his head: "Not for now. From now on, apart from reserving funds for interest, all other income from the Divine Kingdom will be invested in the believers."
There was less than two months until the College Entrance Examination, and Yang Fan had to improve the strength of his believers as quickly as possible.
This time, Yang Fan's goal was the two top universities of the Federal Government—Tai Chu Academy and Xing Qiong Academy.
"Yes, please grant me the purchase permission for the B-Rank technique, Everlasting Spring Technique, which costs 100 million Faith Points," Yang Yi said.
"Buy a technique?"
Yang Fan's expression was somewhat puzzled. There were quite a few techniques and martial skills in the transmission tower now; they should be enough for the believers to learn.
"Reporting to Master, there are currently 10 Tier 5 Beings in the Divine Kingdom, and they are all following the Cultivation path. Above Tier 5 Beings is the transition from Mortals to the Dao, becoming believers in the Qi Refining Realm. This process requires the assistance of high-level techniques. After searching, the Everlasting Spring Technique is more suitable for the current needs of the believers. As for the believers on the Martial Arts path, their strongest strength is currently only Tier 3, so we will not invest in high-level techniques for them for the time being," Yang Yi explained.
"I see. Yang Yi, can you calculate how much longer it will take for the Divine Kingdom to produce believers in the Qi Refining Realm?"
"The current number of Tier 5 Beings in the Divine Kingdom is extremely low, the believers' aptitude is mediocre to low, and the Divine Kingdom's environment is average. The overall evaluation of the Divine Kingdom does not meet the standard. The conditions for calculation are not met, and it is temporarily impossible to estimate a specific time."
"What? The Divine Kingdom has been developing for such a long time, and my evaluation is not up to standard?" Yang Fan was incredulous.
"That is correct." Yang Yi nodded seriously. "According to a comprehensive evaluation of the current Divine Kingdom operation data, your development level is in the median range of Divine Creatures at the same stage."
He paused slightly, as if retrieving a larger-scale data model.
