10: Chapter 10 Extraordinary Potential

"The initial investment of one million Faith Points needs to go through the family's approval process. It will be very fast, and it should arrive before long," Fang Yun knew the procedure inside out and explained it to his deskmate first.

"Mm, thank you, Fang Yun." The girl could hardly suppress her excitement at this moment, her hands tightly clutching the hem of her school uniform with some force.

After the contract was signed, the relationship between the two took a step closer, so Fang Yun asked Wang Xinrou about the current development status of her Divine Kingdom.

Hearing this, Wang Xinrou had a terrible headache. Her willow-like eyebrows knitted together, and she said somewhat dejectedly, "Right now, I've just cleared a 100-square-kilometer grassland, which was rewarded to me by Teacher Feng. In addition, the school also rewarded me with two E-rank Ecology Cards—one is a normal forest, and the other is primitive farmland, both of which are 100 square kilometers."

"I also spent a few thousand Faith Points to plant 500 magic grasses for Planting. This kind of grass can slowly increase the believers' magic affinity. Besides that, there are 500 stalks of Golden Spike Rice used as food."

After saying this, Wang Xinrou paused and said no more. Fang Yun took a sip of his coffee and said, "Mm, pretty good. And then?"

Wang Xinrou lowered her head and stammered, "Th... that's all. Th... there's nothing else."

Fang Yun looked at her with a strange expression. "Classmate, your resources are way too scarce. It would be a wonder if the believers in this Divine Kingdom didn't starve to death."

On the one hand, the Federation's approach of protecting geniuses could indeed ensure their safety, but on the other hand, wasn't it also restricting the outlets of those students who were naturally gifted yet from impoverished backgrounds?

With a slight sigh, Fang Yun didn't say much more. He wasn't qualified to evaluate the pros and cons of the Federation's policies, but he could still give his deskmate right before him a helping hand.

"Mm, the investment is indeed a bit low, but it doesn't matter. Since you are my person from now on, I naturally won't treat you unfairly."

Wang Xinrou's cheeks turned slightly red, and she secretly complained in her heart: "What do you mean by 'my person'? Stop talking nonsense here! I clearly signed the contract with the Fang Family, why make it sound so misleading."

Fang Yun didn't notice these details. In his mind, Wang Xinrou would definitely work for him after graduation. Because in the allocation of such geniuses, the side responsible for recommendation within the family had the right of first choice, and the resources were also provided by Fang Yun's branch.

His old man would naturally assign her to his side, so he had zero burden in cultivating Wang Xinrou.

It wouldn't be like in his previous life, where resources were given away for nothing and nothing was gained in return.

"I'll transfer 100,000 Faith Points to you first. Go buy some resource cards first so as not to delay the development of your Divine Kingdom. When your subsequent subsidy arrives, you can pay me back. Send me your bank account number."

"Thank you, thank you, I don't even know how to thank you properly."

Soon, Fang Yun transferred the 100,000 Faith Points to her. Wang Xinrou's heart trembled slightly, her eyes turned a bit red, and her hands shook uncontrollably.

Now the overdue rent could be paid off, and the lives of her and her younger sister wouldn't be so tight anymore.

A huge sum of 100,000 was something she had never seen before. In her eyes, this was already an astronomical figure, yet the other party transferred it to her without even blinking an eye.

Furthermore, according to what he said, her early development resources would also be taken care of by the Fang Family. She secretly made up her mind to follow Fang Yun from now on—she, Wang Xinrou, was definitely hugging this thigh tightly!

When leaving, Wang Xinrou kept thanking Fang Yun, which made him quite embarrassed.

Not long after the two separated, the personnel from the Fang Family responsible for liaising with her contacted her. All kinds of D-rank Ecology Cards and resource cards were of top configurations.

Wang Xinrou couldn't believe that she could actually receive so many resources. In her impression, getting some E-rank animal and plant seeds would have been about her limit.

She hadn't expected the other party to be so domineering and generous as to give so many Ecology Cards and resource cards. She couldn't imagine how wealthy the Fang Family actually was!

Feeling anxious, she sent a message to the contact person, asking, "Did something go wrong with so many resources?"

The other party replied very quickly: "There is no problem, Classmate Wang. According to the contract, we are fully responsible for all your basic development resources in the early stage."

For a genius recruited and invested from the outside, the other party was actually willing to make such a hefty investment. Still, unable to quite believe it, she placed a comms call to Fang Yun.

"Oh, just accept them. These resources are all necessary for the early stage. If they're not enough, just apply for more."

Hearing his reply and his casual tone, Wang Xinrou was certain in her heart that she had definitely struck gold. Was her sycophantic deskmate actually a hidden, wealthy, tall, rich, and handsome man?

Then why had he always pursued Su Qianqian before and acted so humble? Wang Xinrou couldn't figure it out.

"It's enough, it's enough. I'll treat you to a meal when there's a chance, Fang Yun. Thank you."

After hanging up the comms, she stopped letting her imagination run wild and immediately poured the resources into her Divine Kingdom. She could finally spread her wings and show her skills.

At this moment, a notification that funds had arrived also appeared—it was the subsequent subsidy of 1 million Faith Points sent by the Fang Family. This time, Wang Xinrou wasn't as ecstatic and excited as she was at first.

She first transferred 100,000 Faith Points of it to Fang Yun, and then began to supplement the resources and buildings she had long had her eye on. She wanted to make full use of every single Faith Point and prove that she was by no means inferior to anyone else.

Wang Xinrou knew deeply that all these changes were brought about by Fang Yun. Since she was young, her father and mother had taught her to be grateful and repay kindness. She knew that verbal gratitude was too pale and powerless, so she simply silently kept Fang Yun's kindness engraved in her heart.

...

Federation's Western Front battlefield.

Inside the Fang Family's encampment.

In the military camp, Marshal Fang Qing and the Fang Family's First Elder, Fang Hualian, sat together discussing around a military operations map of the Western Front.

"First Elder, this encirclement and killing of the Dragon-Elephant Clan's leader still requires your utmost assistance. We must not let him escape," Marshal Fang Qing said with a solemn expression.

"Rest assured, Patriarch, this battle will be fought with all our might," the First Elder replied firmly.

The First Elder, just like Marshal Fang Qing, was an Eighth-Order Deity. The Dragon-Elephant Clan leader they were encircling and suppressing this time was also an Eighth-Order.

Wars between high-order deities were generally conducted through Divine Kingdom wars. After all, once they reached the high ranks, very few were willing to continue taking risks and enter the fray to fight in person.

Affected by the laws of the universe among deities, the Divine Kingdoms of deities of the same rank were located in the same layer of the Divine Domain. If a high-order deity wanted to make a move against a low-order deity, not only would their own strength be suppressed to the same rank,

but in the process of the divine war, the strength of their believers would also suffer tremendous suppression and weakening. Therefore, it was basically difficult for high-order deities to attack low-order deities.

Unless they took action with a determination to die, and this often had a high possibility of failure.

The Divine Domain was vast and boundless. No matter how it was formed or how large the space was, everyone's Divine Kingdom possessed a unique Divine Kingdom coordinate, and a connection could be established by virtue of those coordinates.

Therefore, every deity's coordinates were their greatest secret, which would not even be disclosed between close relatives or husbands and wives.

Because once the coordinates were mastered, the other party could establish a spatial channel through the coordinates at any time to invade the Divine Kingdom and start a Divine Kingdom war.

But at the same time, there were also many means and methods to detect coordinates. For example, the Divine Kingdom coordinates of the Dragon-Elephant Clan leader had been obtained by Marshal Fang Qing after paying a heavy price to hire someone to calculate them.

After the First Elder left, Marshal Fang Qing's gaze passed through the military tent to look at the distant void, murmuring to himself, "Yuner, wait a little longer. When Father goes back, I'll give you a big surprise."

Far away on Canglan Star in the Federation, Fang Yun naturally knew nothing of all this. He only knew that his father stayed on the borders year-round and rarely came back to see him, and most of their meetings took place in virtual space.

At this moment, Fang Yun was browsing and selecting buildings in the Human Alliance Mall. Reminded by his teacher's class, he realized that he hadn't yet deployed architectural resources.
