As soon as the teacher finished speaking, she vanished without a trace.
"Is this the power of a god? I hope I can do something like this someday too."
"Stop dreaming. Without good talents and resources, we'll probably remain Divine Lifeforms our entire lives, unable even to break through to Demigod, let alone become true gods."
"Let's go. I may not have any talent, but my Divine Kingdom Area is fairly large. Later, I can let my dad engage in Animal Husbandry in my Divine Kingdom, raising cattle and sheep, and things at home will improve a little."
Yang Fan did not join the surrounding discussion. After saying goodbye to Zhang Pang, he quickly left school and took a ride home.
"Please lie down in the safety pod. The Nuclear-Powered Bus is about to depart. Maximum speed: 800 kilometers per hour."
Yang Fan lived in Moonlight Residential Community at the southernmost edge of Yang County, more than three hundred kilometers away from Yang County No. 1 High School.
This Nuclear-Powered Bus had been produced in the Divine Kingdom of some Mechanical God. Though it was an outdated model discarded by the city, it was extremely cost-effective for poor families like Yang Fan's.
"We have arrived at Moonlight Residential Community Station. Fare: 100 Faith Points."
After getting off, Yang Fan quickly went upstairs and returned home.
Yang Fan's father was named Yang Tiexin and possessed the F-Rank Resource Talent, Excavation, while his mother, Sun Rong, happened to have a tiny mineral vein in her Divine Kingdom.
The two had hit it off at once and started living together. Yang Fan came afterward.
At that moment, Yang Tiexin and Sun Rong were sitting cross-legged in the living room. Blank cards lay before them, and they picked them up, set them down, then passed them to each other.
Yang Fan had long since grown used to the sight. This was his Parents' work.
His father sent believers with the Excavation talent to work in his mother's Divine Kingdom. They stored rare ores in blank cards, then listed them for sale online.
It could be said that Yang Fan had grown up and still been able to attend Yang County No. 1 High School entirely because of the tiny mineral vein in his mother's Divine Kingdom.
"Fan, you're back. There's fresh steak and salad in the fridge. Wait until your father and I finish excavating today's mineral vein output, then we'll talk about your awakening," Sun Rong said.
Yang Fan nodded to show that he understood.
Their family's life was tight. Yang Fan's tuition, living expenses, the rent at Moonlight Residential Community, and all sorts of taxes left them unable to save much in Faith Points each month.
It would not be wrong to say that their family had always lived at Kill Online. Therefore, the most important task every day was to excavate every bit of output from the mineral vein.
Yang Fan came to the dining table and opened his smart wristwatch, where he saw a conspicuous email from the Ministry of Education.
Student Yang Fan, initial Divine Kingdom area: one million square kilometers. F-Rank Resource Talent. The Ministry of Education recommends taking the logistics resource transfer route. Reasons are as follows: the Divine Kingdom Area is large enough to serve as a warehouse, and it possesses the F-Rank Resource Talent. Resources have a certain capacity for appreciation and value preservation. Believer development should primarily focus on livelihood-oriented fields such as planting, Animal Husbandry, mining, hunting, and herb gathering. For early Divine Kingdom development, it is recommended to purchase a Breeding Card. The Divine Kingdom Area is too large, and its initial population is severely insufficient. As the student has received a C-Rank Rating, the Ministry of Education awards 100,000 Faith Points. (Note: These Faith Points have been marked and may only be used to develop the student's own Divine Kingdom. They may not be used for taxes, entertainment, or other purposes.) A random C-Rank Building Card is awarded. (Note: It cannot be sold.)
Yang Fan tapped the attachment collection button in the lower-right corner with his gaze, and immediately felt an inexplicable energy appear within his Divine Kingdom.
Divine Lord: Yang Fan Divine Kingdom Area: one million square kilometers Talents: F-Rank Resource Talent (all resources within the Divine Kingdom grow 10% faster) SSS-Rank Evolution Talent (unique talent, can accelerate Divine Kingdom Evolution) Faith Points Building: C-Rank Building Card (unused)
"As expected of an awakening reward that only comes once in a lifetime. It's truly generous," Yang Fan sighed.
Relying on the tiny mineral vein in Sun Rong's Divine Kingdom, their family earned only a little over 3,000 each month, yet this time the Ministry of Education had directly awarded 100,000 Faith Points.
Such an enormous sum naturally tempted people in the past. There had even been cases of people crazily having children, then severing the father-son relationship immediately after obtaining the reward. That was why the Ministry of Education introduced new rules: the rewards issued could only be used to develop the student's own Divine Kingdom.
"Fan, did your Divine Kingdom awakening give you a talent?"
At some point, Yang Tiexin and Sun Rong had already finished their work for the day and sat down beside Yang Fan.
"F-Rank Resource Talent," Yang Fan said.
"Is that so? That's not bad either. It's a versatile talent. Your Divine Kingdom will develop much faster than ordinary people's in the future, and there will be many ways for you to earn Faith Points," Yang Tiexin said, nodding with satisfaction.
Sun Rong placed a steak before Yang Fan and continued, "That's good news. Our family's burden will be much lighter in the future. Fan, what did the Ministry of Education award for an F-Rank Rating today?"
"I don't know."
"What, don't tell me your versatile talent earned you an E-Rank Rating?" Yang Tiexin laughed.
"I got C-Rank."
Pfft! Yang Tiexin sprayed out the freshly squeezed fruit juice in his mouth and began coughing violently.
"You little brat, don't brag in front of your old man. A C-Rank Rating? Take a look at what kind of family we are. With your mother's and my genes, could we produce that kind of genius?"
"I'm telling the truth." Yang Fan looked serious.
Seeing their son's expression, Yang Tiexin and Sun Rong finally turned serious.
They knew their boy was not someone who talked big.
"Could it be that you have dual talents?" Sun Rong asked.
"Not that, but my Divine Kingdom is one million square kilometers," Yang Fan said.
The existence of the SSS-Rank Evolution Talent was too important. Even to his biological Parents, Yang Fan was unwilling to mention it. It was not that he did not trust them, but that he wanted to reduce the risk.
"One million square kilometers? You're serious?!"
Yang Fan did not explain. He directly forwarded the Ministry of Education document to his Parents.
"My goodness, think of how many Divine Kingdom Expansion Cards that saves! And with so many rewards, this is worth three or four years of our net income, isn't it?" Yang Tiexin swallowed hard.
Yang Tiexin stood up and excitedly patted Yang Fan on the shoulder. "Use that C-Rank Building Card quickly! If you can draw a Small Mineral Vein, I'll take out a loan to buy a Breeding Card. Then our family can move out of Moonlight Residential Community!"
At those words, Yang Fan willed it and used the C-Rank Building Card.
As Yang Fan's consciousness entered his Divine Kingdom, he discovered a crescent-shaped pool of well water at its center.
Moonwell: Produces one drop of Moonlight Dew every ten years. Moonlight Dew: Has weak detoxifying, healing, and body-strengthening effects. Long-term consumption can alter one's physique.
"So? Did you draw a resource-type building?" Yang Tiexin and Sun Rong asked expectantly in reality.
"It's a Moonwell," Yang Fan said. After studying Divine Kingdom fundamentals for so many years, he naturally knew of this building.
"What a pity it isn't a mineral vein. Otherwise, our family could trade the bird gun for a cannon," Yang Tiexin sighed.
Sun Rong rolled her eyes. "Don't be so insatiable. The market price of a Moonwell is around 300,000 Faith Points. Families like ours will probably only get one chance in a lifetime to obtain something like this—during our first awakening.
"Besides, the Moonwell's output is stable. One day in reality equals one year in the Divine Kingdom. In just ten days, it produces a drop of Moonlight Dew worth 1,000 Faith Points.
"With this Moonwell, even if Fan does nothing, he'll still earn 3,000 a month. Even in the future, if he does nothing and lies flat, he'll have enough to get by."
"Your mother's right. The Ministry of Education's reward only comes once in a lifetime. Luckily, you didn't draw some consumable or combat-type building. Since the law says it can't be sold, that would've been a real pitfall."
"Dad, Mom, with this income, life at home will be much easier. Don't squeeze the believers too hard either. It's bad for their health," Yang Fan said seriously.
