After a discussion with the school leadership, Han Wu found himself holding two contracts.
The first was an employment contract for 30 million Skeleton Soldiers. The school intended to hire these 30 million Skeleton Soldiers to remain in their original plane and mine for the school.
Although Skeleton Soldiers were weak and unintelligent, they were tireless, required little upkeep, and could work 24 hours a day.
They were practically the dream employees of any unscrupulous boss.
Originally, the school leadership had planned to purchase these Skeleton Soldiers directly from Han Wu.
However, Han Wu, considering the long-term benefits, decided to only lease them out, not sell.
The school leadership had no choice but to sign an employment contract, agreeing to give Han Wu a share of the mining profits daily.
As for the second contract, it was a sales agreement for the Demonic Locusts.
The Abyssal Realm was not a suitable environment for weak lifeforms like Locusts.
However, Han Wu's Locusts were an exception.
After being summoned to the Abyssal Realm, they not only adapted to the environment but were also able to reproduce normally.
According to the school's backend statistics, in less than a hundred days, the Demonic Locust population had already grown to over 30,000.
While these Demonic Locusts were not as strong in combat as Skeleton Soldiers, they were prolific breeders.
With proper cultivation, the principals on the front lines would no longer have to worry about the contamination from Flesh Puppet corpses.
And 30,000 Demonic Locusts were nothing to Han Wu.
His Divine Realm contained billions of Locusts.
30,000 Demonic Locusts were merely a drop in the ocean.
These two contracts initially brought Han Wu 300,000 Divine Power, with substantial amounts of Divine Power flowing into his account daily thereafter.
Han Wu could now, barely, be considered to have "a mine at home."
Exiting the conference room, Han Wu saw Qin Shuang waiting outside the door.
It seemed she was waiting for him.
"After I cultivate a Lord Lifeform, I'll go to a top-tier university as a preparatory student. The resources there are more suitable for my growth," Qin Shuang said out of the blue.
"Congratulations," Han Wu replied.
"Are you going to Imperial Capital Academy in the future?" Qin Shuang asked.
"Yes, I will definitely go to Imperial Capital Academy," Han Wu stated firmly. He intended to go to Imperial Capital Academy's Sea of Chaotic Stars to find his lost parents.
"Alright, I'll choose Imperial Capital Academy too. However, as a preparatory student, I'll definitely receive a lot of resources and achieve rapid growth. When we meet again then, you might not be my opponent," Qin Shuang said with hidden meaning. "So, you still have time to become my slave before I become a student at Imperial Capital Academy."
"When you get to Imperial Capital Academy, I can look out for you and make sure no one bullies you."
Han Wu gave a wry smile. "Can we please not bring up the slave thing? With my current assets, I can live very well without being anyone's slave."
Qin Shuang looked a bit disappointed. "Fine."
With no further words, they walked down the corridor. Han Wu then said, "I still need to sort out my gains from this trip, so I'll be leaving now. Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Qin Shuang looked reluctant. Watching Han Wu's receding figure, she let out a long sigh. "What a dummy. But his little skeleton form is quite cute."
As she spoke, she summoned her interface. The screensaver on the interface was precisely Han Wu's little skeleton form as a Skeleton Lord.
Meanwhile, Han Wu teleported back to the Abyssal Realm.
Due to the contracts, the Skeleton Soldier legions had to stay behind to mine.
Han Wu could only bring some elites back to his Divine Realm.
Among them, the Heroic Lifeforms Bone Controller and Bone Reviver had to be taken.
The Skeleton Knights, who could summon Skeleton Soldiers, also had to be taken.
The Minotaur tribe was also brought along in its entirety.
Carrying his substantial gains, Han Wu returned to his Divine Realm.
The rewards for the assessment had already been credited to Han Wu's account.
The Divinity Card glowed brilliantly, exuding an aura of nobility.
Han Wu did not hesitate this time and immediately absorbed the point of Divinity contained within.
His information also changed accordingly.
Name: Han Wu Level: Divine Being Divine Talent: Chosen One (Unique) Divine Abilities: Growth Acceleration, Life Sacrifice (Unique) Divinity: 2 points Divine Power: 3.5 million (Self-produced) / 76 million (Externally produced) Faith Power: 79.03 million
Core Level: Level 3 (Level 2 Holy Relic Law of Gluttony (Damaged), Level 1 Holy Relic Poison Mist Orb).
Core Kin: Locusts. (219 Extraordinary Lifeforms, 49.08 million Elite Lifeforms, 2.38 billion Normal Lifeforms)
Subordinate Kin:
Sword Wind Tribe (Heroic Lifeform: Sword Wind Iron Cutter)
Ember Dwarf (Heroic Lifeform: Divine Hammer, 2 Extraordinary Lifeforms, 58 Elite Lifeforms)
Skeleton Race (Skeleton Lord, 2 Heroic Lifeforms: Bone Controller, Bone Reviver, 190 Extraordinary Lifeforms)
Minotaur Tribe (Heroic Lifeform: Minotaur Shaman, 14 Extraordinary Lifeforms, 2,589 Elite Lifeforms).
Divine Realm Buildings: Level 1 Great Forge, Level 2 Insect Nest, Level 1 Temple, etc.
Special Facilities: Life Fountain, Decomposition Machine, Hope Holy Fire, etc.
Han Wu smacked his lips. After adding a bit more Divinity, he seemed no different than before.
Perhaps it was because the current amount of Divinity was still too little.
Without dwelling on the issue of Divinity, Han Wu consolidated all the gains from this assessment.
Including the grade rewards and quest rewards, Han Wu received a total of 1800 Class Points, several Holy Relics, several skills, and several weapons.
The spoils from conquering the tribes were also considerable. The three Hero Templates he assembled were used on the Skeleton Race (two) and the Ember Dwarf Divine Hammer (one). Over ten Extraordinary Seeds remained unused. There were also many skills, Holy Relics, weapons, and special facilities that could cause a life leap.
Overall, Han Wu's gains from this assessment were even greater than from the unified exam.
However, this did not mean Han Wu's life would become easier, as the number of kin he had to raise had also increased.
It was too crowded for five races with different living habits to coexist in a Divine Realm of nearly 200 square kilometers.
With a wave of his hand, Han Wu spent 1 million Divine Power to expand his Divine Realm to 1000 square kilometers.
This was the limit of a Divine Realm for a Divine Being at this stage.
Of course, simply purchasing Divine Realm land would not cost so much Divine Power.
The majority of this expenditure was used to modify the Divine Realm's environment, making it more comfortable for each kin.
As for items like Extraordinary Seeds, Holy Relics, skills, and weapons, Han Wu would generously provide them as long as the kin needed them.
Han Wu put all the remaining resources that no one wanted into the mall for sale.
This brought in 500,000 Divine Power.
After doing all this, Han Wu still had two tasks left.
The first was to strengthen the power of the Heroic Lifeforms. For example, purchasing suitable skill crystals for Sword Wind Iron Cutter and equipping him with four powerful Divine Power Weapons. Or finding special totems for the Minotaur Shaman. And also, restoring the Skeleton Lord and providing abundant resources to the Bone Controller and Bone Reviver, adding means for their survival.
This step alone cost Han Wu 30 million Divine Power.
But Han Wu did not feel pained; instead, he felt it was worthwhile.
Once these Heroic Lifeforms were fully strengthened, their overall strength would at least increase severalfold, and their future help to him would be even greater.
The second task was to continue building the path for a life leap for his core kin: the Locusts.
Although the Locusts were weak, they were always Han Wu's core kin, the foundation of his existence.
More resources needed to be allocated to them.
In addition, Han Wu had obtained several special items related to life leaps during this assessment.
He decided to try them out, allowing the Locusts to develop in more directions.
After investing a large amount of time, energy, and resources, Han Wu, as he had hoped, created two more life leap routes suitable for the Locusts.
One was called the Path of Corruption. Led by the Heart of Corruption obtained from the Fallen Demon tribe, it granted the Locusts the ability to ignore demonic energy erosion and enhanced resistance, with a success rate of up to 95%.
Locusts that passed through this life leap route would directly advance to the Elite Lifeform rank and would be called Fallen Insects by Han Wu.
Fallen Insects possessed stronger resistance, more tenacious vitality, and significantly improved resistance to negative status effects and magical attacks. Overall, it was an evolution in the defensive direction.
The other route used the spoils from the Dark Frogman tribe as its core, granting the Locusts the ability to blend into darkness and carry curses, with a success rate of 90%. Han Wu called it the Path of Curses.
Locusts that passed through the Path of Curses would also advance to Elite Lifeforms, capable of stealthy flight and inflicting various negative effects on enemies, following an assassination route.
Han Wu called them Curse Insects.
Coupled with the Heavenly Demon Insects, which had horns on their heads and extremely strong piercing power, following an offensive route.
The three types of insects cooperated with each other based on their respective advantages, greatly enhancing Han Wu's overall combat power.
