2: Chapter 2 SSS-level Talent [Fate's Magic Dice]

"Destiny is never fair, but it occasionally gives survivors a chance to roll the dice and awaken the hidden talent [Destiny Magic Dice]."

"Detected that the host Fang Yun is only a Divine Creature. Current talent effect: gain one dice-rolling chance and one refresh chance daily, randomly obtaining extra boosts."

Fang Yun's heart surged with turbulent waves at this moment. An SSS-Rank talent???!!!

How was that possible?! The highest recorded rank in the Federation's history was only SS-Rank, so where did this SSS-Rank come from??

All subsequent information regarding the SSS-Rank talent formed directly in his mind, yet the highest intelligent life form of the Federation, which supervised and witnessed the awakening, remained completely oblivious.

Fang Yun felt a bit unsettled, but he still calmly walked back to his seat without revealing the slightest flaw.

"Holy crap, how does the simp have such a high talent? A B-Rank rating, and it's a resource-type talent."

"Tsk tsk tsk, didn't you guys notice? What Fang Yun awakened is a divine creature with a maximum awakening area of one million square kilometers."

"Tch, what's so great about that? In the early stage, the Divine Kingdom's area is completely useless. It's all wasteland and relies entirely on resource investment. Besides, with such a small population in the early stage, such a large area can't be used at all."

With Su Qianqian's brilliant performance serving as a precedent, Fang Yun's display wasn't all that remarkable.

Seeing Fang Yun's talent, Su Qianqian was also somewhat surprised. She secretly pondered that this simp had always been utterly obedient to her and catered to her every whim.

Now that he had awakened a resource-type talent as well, it seemed her hopes for future development lay with him.

The mere thought of having a Divine Kingdom serving her wholeheartedly made her so comfortable she almost cried out.

"Oh God, this is wonderful."

Yet Su Qianqian, lost in her fantasy, failed to notice that Fang Yun, who usually looked at her with burning eyes, seemed to have never once given her a serious look today.

Fang Yun didn't care about the classmates' discussions. Previously, due to his simp behavior, not a single boy or girl had a good relationship with him.

The boys thought he was too shameless, bootlicking a girl so unprincipledly just for her sake, bringing her breakfast every day and racking his brains to send gifts, only for her to completely ignore him.

She accepted the breakfast with peace of mind and took all the gifts, but the great simp didn't even get to hold her hand, which had also become a major laughing stock in Sunshine High School.

As for the girls, they thought Fang Yun was blind. How were they inferior to Su Qianqian? Fang Yun was so handsome, yet he insisted on fixating on Su Qianqian to the death, which infuriated them quite a bit.

Therefore, Fang Yun failed to please either side.

Oh right, it wasn't everyone. The only one in the class who would give Fang Yun a pleasant look should be his deskmate, Wang Xinrou.

Wang Xinrou came from a poor family and had a soft personality. However, her parents passed away early, leaving her and her younger sister to depend on each other for survival. Even her schooling expenses were funded and guaranteed by the Human Federation.

To take care of her sister, she would go to the Haitian Grand Hotel to work part-time washing dishes every day after school. That was the most high-end hotel in Linjiang City, where the per capita consumption was at least ten thousand Faith Points.

Once, she accidentally broke an expensive piece of tableware and was scolded by the manager, right when Fang Yun happened to go there for dinner.

Understanding the situation, Fang Yun paid the compensation for Wang Xinrou without a second word, while also telling Wang Xinrou that she must never reveal anything about him.

Fang Yun, who did it casually, didn't know how much help this matter was to Wang Xinrou. Her family didn't have any money to begin with; if she really had to pay the compensation, she and her sister probably wouldn't even be able to afford meals.

Therefore, deep down she was extremely grateful to Fang Yun, and would usually lend her notes and such for him to read.

Ever since then, she quietly paid attention to Fang Yun every day. She found that this deskmate of hers was handsome, came from a powerful background, and was quite kind, but there was one thing that wasn't quite right: his brain wasn't working right.

Otherwise, why would he persistently and shamelessly chase Su Qianqian? Looking at Fang Yun, who had finished awakening his talent, she genuinely felt happy for him.

Fang Yun didn't notice Wang Xinrou staring dazedly at him. He was still studying his new talent; this talent could actually deceive the Human Federation's supreme superintelligence, which was simply too exaggerated.

"Wang Xinrou."

"Divine Kingdom awakening area: 400,000 square kilometers."

"..."

"Awakened S-Rank Talent: Heart of Elements. All believers within the Divine Kingdom have their perception of elemental energy significantly enhanced, making it easier for mages to be born. Recommended path: Magic Civilization."

"Comprehensive potential evaluation: S-Rank."

Wang Xinrou widened her eyes, standing in place at a loss, looking somewhat adorable and dorky. Her light blue hair hung naturally down to her waist, and a few unruly strands of hair hung beside her cheeks.

The oversized school uniform covered her body, and her small hands tightly clutched her cuffs.

She had an S-Rank talent?

Right at this moment, head teacher Feng Qingchen's physical body descended instantly. Although she had tried her utmost to restrain her coercion, it still brought a slight sense of oppression to everyone.

The faces of quite a few people suddenly turned pale, though fortunately, it lasted for only a very brief moment.

The sudden appearance of two S-Rank talent students in a class was obviously still rare. The entire Linjiang City had about twenty million high school students, and roughly one in ten thousand people could awaken an S-Rank talent every year.

She hadn't expected to actually run into two of them; it seemed her luck was quite good.

Generally speaking, students with S-Rank talents could basically become at least Tier-1 deities in the future as long as no accidents occurred.

However, as for subsequent development, it would depend on the growth of the Divine Kingdom. After all, talent only represented potential, and the most important thing for the development of the Divine Kingdom was resources.

"Not bad, both you and Su Qianqian have awakened S-Rank talents. As a personal reward, I will give each of you an E-Rank Ecological Card. This is an Ecological Grassland Card."

Feng Qingchen took out two cyan cards, while the rest of the classmates looked on with envious expressions.

"An E-Rank Ecological Grassland Card can generate a one-hundred-square-kilometer grassland within your Divine Kingdom territory. It is basically an essential card for early-stage pioneering. I hope you guys develop your Divine Kingdoms well and break through to Demigods as soon as possible."

The two girls who received the cards were extremely excited and quickly expressed their thanks: "Thank you, Teacher Feng."

Meanwhile, the awakening in the honor class of Sunshine High School had completely concluded. Sunshine High School was one of the top three high schools in Linjiang City, and the honor class was filled with students possessing extraordinary talents or deep backgrounds.

Although two S-Rank talent students were rare, it wasn't like they had never appeared before.

After doing all this, Feng Qingchen also took a rough glance at the evaluations of the students in the class. Aside from Fang Yun who was B-Rank, most of them had talents around C-Rank.

"Alright, everyone, you've all worked hard today. However, after the awakening, your tasks will become even heavier, because competition starts from this very moment."

"The more resources you invest into the Divine Kingdom, the faster it will develop. The higher the Faith Points contributed by believers, the stronger the feedback to your strength will be."

"Right now you've just awakened, and my suggestion is to prioritize building the ecosystem and self-sustaining system within the Divine Kingdom. Otherwise, you'll find that the Divine Kingdom is a bottomless pit no matter how many resources you throw in."

"These things were all mentioned back in the first year of high school, so I won't emphasize them again."

Finishing this, Feng Qingchen directly vanished from the spot, and the classmates were long used to it.

However, ever since their awakening, future classes would be conducted within the virtual space. In the Era of Gods, virtual space technology had long developed to its absolute peak.

Many high-level deities specializing in mechanical Divine Kingdoms had long been able to create their own virtual spaces, yet no one knew who created or controlled the Federation's virtual space.

Trillions of citizens across the entire Human Federation could connect to the virtual space, needing only their smart wristwatches to log in.

Everything felt 99.99% similar to reality inside the virtual space, with 100% freedom; you could do anything within the virtual space.

Moreover, due to the vast distances between various star systems, even traveling between native planets was rather troublesome. Centuries ago, humanity had already placed most of their activities entirely within the virtual space.

But awakening activities like today's definitely had to be conducted by going to school in person.

Yet at this moment, Fang Yun, who had just finished awakening and was studying his own talent, was agonizing over a problem.
