12: Chapter 12 Giving Back to Reality!

1,100,000 Faith Points.

Looking at the long string of numbers on the creation terminal, Lin Yunfei sat at the desk of the old apartment with a calm expression, yet his eyes were as deep as an abyss.

For a slum boy who once couldn't even produce a thousand Faith Points, this huge sum of money was undoubtedly an astronomical figure sufficient to defy the heavens and change his fate.

But Lin Yunfei's brain still maintained its rationality and was not dazzled by this wealth!

He knew very well that 1,100,000 Faith Points could only be considered average in the eyes of those lofty conglomerate offspring.

Wang Han, the eldest young master of the Wang family, could casually toss out 300,000 just to hear a splash in order to advance his companion dependents.

The deduction and evolution of the Divine Kingdom was inherently a bottomless pit that devoured resources. The further along it went, the more Faith Points were required, exploding in geometric multiples. This money was only enough for him to get an entry ticket to truly compete in the starry sea.

Lin Yunfei stood up and propped up his body on the floor.

"Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred."

A set of extremely standard push-ups. This was a self-discipline habit he had developed over many years; the body was the cornerstone of everything and could not tolerate the slightest slack.

Walking to the desk, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of warm green tea.

The bitter yet fragrant tea aroma permeated the air, and Lin Yunfei tapped open the communication terminal on his wrist.

Before continuing to deduce the Divine Kingdom, he had to first resolve a matter weighing heavily on his heart.

In this cruel Starry Sea Era, his parents were just ordinary heavy machinery factory workers at the very bottom of Tianwu City.

To support him in awakening his Divine Kingdom and getting through the most difficult initial period, his parents resolutely handed over their savings of half a lifetime into his hands!

That was the entire livelihood and life savings that the two elders had toiled for most of their lives.

Because their savings had completely bottomed out, to maintain the family's daily expenses and Lin Yunfei's subsequent tuition fees, his parents were now working even harder and more desperately than before.

Lin Yunfei dialed the encrypted family communication frequency band.

Beep, beep...

The holographic projection unfolded in mid-air.

In the image appeared a middle-aged woman with a weathered face and deep crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. She was wearing a washed-out factory dust suit stained with a bit of machine oil, and the environment behind her was a roaring assembly line.

She was none other than his mother, Fang Min.

"Yunfei?"

Seeing her son's projection, Fang Min hurried over to a slightly quieter corner, wiped her hands hard on the corner of her clothes, and revealed a tired yet warm smile.

"Why are you calling Mom at this time? Today's school simulation accounting is over, right? It doesn't matter if your grades are not ideal; Mom and your dad's piece-rate wages have increased this month. Even if you can't get into a military university, we can still go study at an ordinary astrology academy..."

Listening to his mother's unreserved nagging full of the earthy warmth of daily life, a soft ripple stirred within Lin Yunfei's state of mind, which was like that of a cold deity.

"Mom, the accounting is over, and I did very well on the test." Lin Yunfei's voice was gentle.

He smiled and continued, "Because of my grades, the school issued a very generous scholarship in advance. I'll transfer tens of thousands of Faith Points back, so you and Dad don't work such desperate overtime anymore. Buy some high-tier nutrient solutions to nourish your bodies..."

"Nonsense!"

Before Lin Yunfei could finish speaking, he was interrupted extremely sternly by Fang Min.

Fang Min stared with wide eyes; even though it was across the holographic projection, that maternal majesty was not reduced by a single bit.

"The bonus issued by the school is for you to build your Divine Kingdom! Your Divine Kingdom has just started. Buying dependents, buying blueprints, buying resources—which of these doesn't cost Faith Points?"

Fang Min's voice softened a bit: "Your dad and I are still quite robust. We're used to doing the work in this machinery factory, and it's not tiring at all. The family's pressure is borne by us. You are not allowed to transfer a single Faith Point home; keep all of them for your own use, do you hear me?"

Watching his mother, who would squeeze out all resources for her son no matter how much she suffered herself, Lin Yunfei's throat rolled slightly.

He knew his parents too well.

If it were a direct transfer, they wouldn't be willing to spend a single penny, and instead would be worried all day long, fearing that it would delay their son's future.

"Okay, I know, Mom. I'll keep the money to build the Divine Kingdom." Lin Yunfei did not refute and obediently nodded.

"That's right. Take good care of yourself, Mom has to go to work." Fang Min smiled with relief and hurriedly hung up the communication.

The holographic projection dissipated, and the room returned to quietness.

Lin Yunfei put down the teacup, his hands turning into a blur of afterimages on the virtual keyboard.

Since giving it openly didn't work, he would change his approach.

He directly logged into the public logistics payment system of the outer city of Tianwu City.

[Ding! Operation successful.]

[Your anonymous account has prepaid the basic utilities and house maintenance fees for the next fifty years for the residence under the names of 'Lin Changhai and Fang Min', totaling 12,000 Faith Points.]

Immediately afterward, Lin Yunfei cut into the largest official logistics mall in Tianwu City.

[Purchase: Military Special-Supply Grade A Stamina Recovery Nutrient Solution × 20 boxes. Cost: 3,000 Faith Points.]

[Purchase: Basic Bone Strengthening Physical Therapy Package × 10 sets. Cost: 2,000 Faith Points.]

After filling in his parents' address in the recipient column, Lin Yunfei unceremoniously forged an extremely realistic official red-headed document in the sender information and postscript:

《Notice on the Distribution of Special Subsidy for Basic Logistics Materials of the Federal Government for Families of Top Students of Tianwu First High School

Click, send.

The series of operations was as smooth as flowing water.

A few minutes later, green receipt notification sounds popped up one after another on Lin Yunfei's wrist terminal.

Spending over 10,000 Faith Points was merely a drop in the bucket for his current total assets, but it solidly cleared away the heaviest expenses in his parents' daily lives, which was enough to greatly alleviate their physical overexertion.

Lin Yunfei quietly leaned back against the chair.

Outside the window, the bone-chilling wind that howled year-round in the outer city slum seemed to have grown much weaker.

Lin Yunfei took a deep breath, turned his swivel chair around, and locked his gaze once again on the creation terminal radiating deep blue light.

"The urgent task is to use this money to make the Wasteland Divine Kingdom undergo a qualitative transformation."

"Load the Divine Kingdom!"

Spiritual power, like a surging tide, crashed into and connected with the terminal interface.
