2: Chapter 2 Let's Break Up!

"Lin Yunfei, let's break up!"

Liu Ting looked straight ahead, her speaking speed extremely fast.

"Over the past three years, my choice to walk alongside you was entirely to absorb the deduction methodologies of deity laws."

"Now that the assessment has concluded, I have attained A-grade talent, and you have fallen into the F-grade Wasteland. To me, you are useless and no longer worthy of me!"

"I came to find you purely out of regard for our past friendship, to point out a bright path for you. The outer city logistics department is currently recruiting psionic vein prospectors."

"Taking advantage of the fact that a large batch of failed candidates are still waiting and watching, you should go queue up immediately; perhaps you can snatch an internship position. Living securely as a mortal is your only path to survival."

Lin Yunfei stood quietly in place, his gaze sweeping across Liu Ting's cold face.

"You and I are separating peacefully, without forming a deadly feud. Why must you make the situation so awkward?"

Lin Yunfei's tone was sincere and earnest.

"The great road stretches to the sky, and each walks their own side. As the saying goes, a hundred days of grace for a single day as spouses, a hundred days of spouses are deep as the sea, a hundred years of cultivation bring people to share the same boat, and a thousand years of cultivation allow them to share the same pillow!"

"It would be fine to part on good terms, why bother using a few harsh words to trample upon our past friendship?"

Hearing these words, Liu Ting's expression stiffened slightly.

That deliberately put-on, superior aura suddenly deflated.

Thinking back on these past three years, whenever her law theories encountered a bottleneck, it was always Lin Yunfei who stayed up all night helping her sort out the deduction models. Today, just as she had flown up to the branches, she turned back and pierced the other party with the most hurtful words, indeed appearing cold and thin.

A trace of guilt crawled up from the bottom of her heart.

Liu Ting lowered her gaze, her tone involuntarily softening a bit.

"I was only afraid you wouldn't recognize reality clearly, which is why my words were a bit heavy."

She bit her lower lip and raised her head again to look at Lin Yunfei.

"If you encounter obstacles, you can well come find me. With my current status in the special training class, helping you arrange an easy errand in the logistics department is completely effortless. We can still count as friends in the future."

Lin Yunfei decisively refused.

"We've already broken up, what kind of friends are we still going to be? Once broken up, we are strangers; from now on, each cultivates on their own and we have nothing to do with each other."

The crisp and neat refusal was like a cold, hard slap.

Liu Ting's face felt hot.

The trace of guilt that had originally arisen was immediately swallowed up by the humiliation of her wounded self-esteem.

"Kindness is treated like a donkey's liver and lungs."

Liu Ting sneered aloud, her humiliation completely transforming into sharp mockery.

"Do you really think you can still make a comeback? A month later is the initial test of the divine kingdom."

"Just relying on your ten-square-kilometer F-grade Wasteland, what are you going to use to pass the test?"

"When the time comes, you'll fall into the mortal dust, reduced to a cripple who can't even perceive psionic energy, and you can just go begging on the streets. Don't blame others for refusing to save you."

"Take care of yourself!"

Dropping this harsh conclusion, Liu Ting turned and strode away.

Lin Yunfei glanced at her back, then turned and walked toward the alleyways of the slum district.

Fighting for momentary verbal satisfaction was completely meaningless. The initial test a month later, resource plunder, and data crushing were the only truths of the star sea laws.

Pushing open the iron door of the old apartment.

The indoor light was bright, and the rich aroma of braised pork rushed to meet him.

In the narrow dining room, the edge of the wooden table was wiped very clean.

Mother Fang Min walked out of the kitchen holding a plate of steaming pork belly, casually untying her apron and hanging it on the back of a chair.

Father Lin Changhai sat beside the table, holding a kettle and pouring water into a set of old porcelain-fired tea sets. The boiling water churned, the emerald-green tea leaves quickly unfurled, and the tea fragrance mixed into the aroma of the food.

"Yunfei is back, wash your hands quickly and let's eat. Today your mom specially went to the South District market to pick out top-quality black pig pork belly."

Lin Changhai poured a full cup of hot tea and pushed it to the opposite seat.

Fang Min filled a large bowl of white rice and placed it in front of Lin Yunfei.

The two elders did not mention a single word about the assessment data at the Awakening Plaza.

Information in the civilian district was not closed off. The data leaderboards of Tianwu No. 1 High School had long spread throughout the outer city via the starnet.

F-grade talent and a cut-off of resources; for an ordinary family, this matter was equivalent to severing the ladder for crossing social strata.

Yet Lin Changhai and Fang Min tacitly avoided this topic. They were more concerned about whether their son could eat a bite of hot food.

Lin Yunfei pulled out a chair and sat down, picked up the exquisite porcelain cup, and drank a mouthful of lukewarm green tea.

The tea entered his throat, driving away the chill stained from the streets.

The braised pork on the table was glossy in color. Lin Yunfei picked up a piece, sent it into his mouth, and swallowed it in large gulps.

Halfway through the meal.

Lin Changhai put down his teacup and felt out a starnet savings card with encrypted patterns from his inner pocket.

He pushed it to Lin Yunfei's side.

"The family already knows the test results."

Lin Changhai looked at his son, his tone gentle yet extremely firm.

"The path of deities is too dangerous. Outsiders all say that the F-grade Wasteland can only be used to mine. But the initial test still has to be walked through."

"There are 100,000 faith points in this card. The savings of your mother and me for most of our lives are all inside. Take it to the black market to buy a batch of elite high-tier guards, and then furnish a decent set of law armor. We don't force a ranking in the initial test; preserving your life and coming back safe and sound is what matters most."

Fang Min nodded and echoed from the side.

"Our family has a thin foundation; this is all we can do to help you. Take it all to arm the divine kingdom. At worst, our whole family will move to the South District to farm in the future and live a down-to-earth life."

Lin Yunfei looked at the old savings card on the table.

100,000 faith points.

This huge sum was merely meal money to the outer city conglomerates, but to a civilian family, it was half a lifetime of blood and sweat.

In a conventional start, the F-grade Wasteland had no hope of a comeback; smashing these 100,000 into it was purely throwing money down the drain.

Lin Yunfei tucked the heavy savings card into his palm.

"Dad, Mom, I will definitely not let you down!"

The meal ended.

Lin Yunfei double-locked his bedroom door. He drew the curtains tightly, cutting off all external light sources and prying eyes.

Sitting cross-legged, his spiritual power directly connected to the creation terminal.

"Load divine kingdom."

Vision inverted, space transitioned.

Consciousness descended above a dead, silent continent. Ten square kilometers of black frozen soil, barren of grass, with withered spiritual energy.

Pulling up the starnet trading terminal.

Transferring 100,000 faith points, plus the 1,000-point basic subsidy issued by the Federation.

Current available balance: 101,000 points.

Lin Yunfei's brain operated at high speed, his gaze rapidly shuttling through the massive catalog of materials.

Conventional deities primarily chose Orcs or Goblins in the early stage. The manufacturing cost was low, and combat power took shape extremely quickly, but their later-stage potential was not large!

"Filter target, human refugees."

The starnet interface rapidly shifted.

The human race. A race with extremely high potential, moderate reproduction speed, and comprehensive comprehension within deity civilizations.

Although newborn entities were extremely frail, lacking the brute strength of Orcs and the magical affinity of Elves, humans possessed extremely strong organizational and learning abilities. Once the base number took shape, the legion's combat power would be unrivaled among all races.

Lin Yunfei entered the purchase command.

Spending 90,000 faith points, he bought 10,000 [basic human embryos] in full.

Spending 10,000 faith points, he purchased ten carts of [High-Yield Cold-Resistant Rye Seeds] and [Tier-1 Forging Table Blueprints].

All resources turned into a data stream, floating above the F-grade Wasteland.

"Deploy materials."

The rye seeds fell into the frozen soil, and human refugees were born on the wasteland.

Ten thousand ragged humans looked around blankly, shivering in the face of the unknown, barren continent.

Lin Yunfei looked down on all living beings, hanging high above the sky dome.

The dark golden system panel unfolded with a boom.

[Transcendent Breeding Activated]

[Effect One: Flourishing and Prosperous. The dependent races under the host's divine kingdom permanently gain a tenfold boost in reproduction rate and basic resource production base]

Lin Yunfei decisively shattered the time acceleration card distributed for free by the Federation.

"Evolution, begin."

The flow of time fluctuated crazily. One day outside, 10 years in the divine kingdom.

The dark golden divine power turned into a rain of light and fell.

The frozen soil met spring, and the rye headed and grew joints at an extremely terrifying speed. Sufficient food rations cut off the starvation crisis of the human refugees.

Under the blessing of the tenfold prosperity, the human race began a crazy reproduction and multiplication...
