26: Chapter 26 Talent Amplification

On the morning of a new day, Fang Yun woke up from bed.

A month had passed since the last big procurement. Since then, the fixed assets within Fang Yun's divine kingdom had reached 460 million, which did not yet include the value of buildings and mineral vein resources.

The annual return rate for E-grade assets was around 15% to 20%, while D-grade assets ranged between 8% and 12%. Averaging it out, Fang Yun's overall asset return rate was roughly around 10%.

This return rate was calculated after deducting the consumption of believers within the divine kingdom. In other words, relying solely on the divine kingdom's own production capacity every month could bring Fang Yun an annual faith value income of 46 million, or about 3.83 million faith value per month.

At the same time, because Fang Yun once again descended an oracle in the divine kingdom, bringing many rare spirit beasts and spiritual plants for the believers to enhance their strength,

and even breakthroughs of some believers into extraordinary creatures, the believers' faith in him grew increasingly devout.

There were basically no shallow believers left within the divine kingdom; ordinary believers accounted for 80%, devout believers 16%, fanatic believers 3%, and saints 1%.

This transformation greatly increased the daily faith value harvest of Fang Yun's divine kingdom. Coupled with nearly thirty years of development within the divine kingdom over the course of one month in the outside world, the number of believers surged, resulting in a net monthly faith value income from believers of over 12 million.

That meant Fang Yun's current net monthly income was roughly around 16 million faith value.

16 million faith value a month seemed like a lot, but he still couldn't afford slightly more expensive resources. For instance, with the previous C-grade crops, 16 million could only buy about 800 plants.

In Fang Yun's original imagination, he should next be solidifying a green amplification every day, a favored child of heaven walking on the path of invincibility.

But ideals are plump, while reality is skeletal.

When he rolled a green amplification on the first day and prepared to solidify it, he found that the 1.65 million faith value in his account was completely insufficient for solidification, forcing him to temporarily give up.

At the same time, this made him realize his previous misconception: he had only focused on the power of solidifying amplifications while ignoring the massive faith value consumption required to solidify them.

Solidifying a green amplification started at a minimum of one million faith value, and slightly better ones could even reach five to six million. It was impossible for him at his current stage to have an income of millions of faith value every day.

Thus, our classmate Fang Yun missed the opportunity once again due to insufficient faith value.

In the end, Fang Yun could only wait for the divine kingdom's resources to slowly mature and obtain faith value before proceeding with solidification.

Over the course of a month, Fang Yun solidified two green-tier amplifications, Life Enhancement and Shennongs Blessing, as well as one white amplification, Intelligence, costing a total of 11 million faith value.

[Intelligence: Believers learning speed +5%.]

[Life Enhancement: All believers vitality +10%, injury recovery speed increased.]

[Shennongs Blessing: Spiritual plants yield +15%]

It was precisely because of this amplification, [Shennongs Blessing], that Fang Yun's divine kingdom faith value income for this month saw a slight increase, reaching 17 million.

Aside from the 11 million spent on solidifying talents, he currently still had over 6 million faith value left in his hands.

Realizing that he could not infinitely solidify talents every day, Fang Yun decisively stopped after rolling a purple dice amplification, [Land of Prosperity], two days ago.

Because wanting to solidify a talent required choosing a talent first, Fang Yun could only temporarily maintain the amplification of [Land of Prosperity] until he rolled a better talent.

After all, this amplification could genuinely and solidly double his divine kingdom resource income right now.

Fang Yun cast his consciousness into the divine kingdom to check his current divine kingdom panel.

[Divine Lord: Fang Yun.]

[Divine Kingdom Area: 2 million square kilometers.]

[Initial Believers of the Divine Kingdom: Extraordinary Tier 1 Martial Artists (50,000), Homo Sapiens (4.5 million), Barbarians (9.5 million), daily faith value income 400,000 points (after deducting 50% maintenance consumption for the divine kingdom).]

[B-Grade Talent: Abundance, resource growth speed within the divine kingdom +50%]

[SSS-Grade Hidden Talent: Destiny Magic Dice. Want to place a bet? (Note: Magic Dice Tiers: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Gold, Red).]

[Effects: One, Random Magic Dice: Three magic dice are randomly refreshed every day, and one of them can be chosen at will to obtain the amplification effect, total refresh count: 1; Two, Permanent Solidification: Faith value can be consumed to solidify the one-time magic dice effect into a permanent rule of the divine kingdom. (Current solidifiable magic dice tiers: White, Green.)]

[Permanent Talent Amplifications: Martial Dao Root Bone, Intelligence, Life Enhancement, Shennongs Blessing.]

[Current Talent Amplification: Land of Prosperity, growth speed of all life resources within the divine kingdom +100%, including: spiritual plants, spirit beasts, aquatic products, ordinary plants. Extra effect: has a 5% probability of causing ordinary resources to mutate, giving birth to higher-quality resources.]

[Current Buildings: S-Grade primordial dragon-elephant pool, D-Grade Hundred-Refining Blood Pool, D-Grade Body-Forging Grotto, D-Grade ancestors stele, D-Grade qi-blood melting furnace.]

[Resources within the Divine Kingdom: A-Grade Heavenly Spirit Crystal Mine × 1, E-Grade Iron Ore Veins × 2, D-Grade Spiritual Plants (star-patterned spirit wheat, Chiyan Spirit Pepper, Jiuyang Spirit Fruit Tree, Obsidian Bone-Tempering Grass, Jade Bone Flower, Xuanyang Blood Ganoderma, Century-Old Red Blood Ginseng), D-Grade Spirit Beasts (Iron-Backed Savage Ox, Crimson-Blood Tusked Pig, Rock-Armored Giant-Horned Sheep, Black-Scaled Spirit Deer, Cloud-Fleece White-Horned Sheep, Jade-Horned Spirit Dairy Cow, Spirit Jade Pearl Oyster, Green Wood Resin Insect, Qingye Rabbit, Moonlight-Patterned Deer, Rock-horned Beast, Silver-Scaled Trailing-Tail Fish), E-Grade Spiritual Plants (crimson blood spirit-veined fruit tree, Golden Sand Fruit Vine, qingyang spiritual ear rice, White Pulp Potato), E-Grade Spirit Beasts (Red-Crowned Spirit Feather Chicken, Red-tailed Nether Fox, Black-feathered Eagle).]

...

The next morning arrived, which was the day for classes at the beginning of every month. Fang Yun directly entered the virtual space through his wristwatch and chose to teleport straight to the school gates.

Fang Yun now somewhat didn't want to come to class. Every day he soaked in the divine kingdom observing believers grow, browsed the Alliance Mall, or chatted idly on the Deities Forum, living a very cozy life.

After class today, Teacher Feng did not rush to leave like usual; she announced an important piece of news to everyone.

"At the end of this month, our school will conduct the Sunshine High School sophomore class-assignment exam. This exam can be said to be the most important exam before you participate in the divine examination."

"Because quite a few geniuses have emerged in your cohort this year, making it the highest quality batch in the past fifty years, the school is sparing no expense this year to vigorously nurture you all."

"Students who rank in the top thirty of the entire school in the class-assignment exam will participate in the senior year elite class specially established by the school."

"The method of assessment is not yet clear, but no matter how it's assessed, it will definitely be related to the development of your divine kingdoms. Therefore, next, you must raise the strength of your divine kingdoms as quickly as possible—that is the most important thing."

Following that, Feng Qingchen paused for a moment, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously, "In addition, I can disclose to you in advance that it is said the school will pull out at least no less than 5 billion in faith value this time to cultivate the students of the elite class!"

As Feng Qingchen's last sentence fell, the sound of breathing among the students in the class noticeably deepened, and everyone's eyes revealed an incomparably fanatical gaze.

Five billion! Even if divided among everyone's head, that would still be two to three hundred million in faith value! Many people might not even earn this amount of faith value in their entire lives.

Wang Xinrou, Su Qianqian, and some students with better talents all had burning gazes. After all, this top-thirty school-wide quota still offered a huge opportunity for them.

As for some others with poorer talents, they wore expressions of envy. They knew their own level; this kind of reward had nothing to do with them, and no matter how good the rewards were, they could only look on with envy.

At the same time, hearing this figure, Fang Yun couldn't help but feel his heart palpitate with excitement. This was five billion after all!

How wonderful would it be if it could all be given to him? Once the 5 billion was in hand, he would directly start solidifying, solidifying, solidify everything for me!

Hahahaha hahaha!

"Fang Yun? Fang Yun?"

Just at this moment, a melodious voice came from beside him.

Wang Xinrou looked at Fang Yun with somewhat strange eyes and said, "Are you alright, Fang Yun? What are you silly-smiling about?"

Realizing that he had lost his composure somewhat, Fang Yun quickly snapped back to his senses, scratched his head, and smiled somewhat sheepishly.

"It's nothing. Right, why haven't you left yet?" he asked casually.

Wang Xinrou was slightly stunned, the words she had long prepared suddenly stuck at the edge of her lips.

She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously pinching the corner of her clothes.

"I..."
