82: Chapter 82 If he disagrees, I'll have Commander Wei Zheng go and have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

"Th-this is?" Liu Ruyan's voice trembled slightly.

"Ten 4-Star Believer cards, fifty 3-Star Believer cards."

Fang Chuan's tone was as indifferent as if he were discussing a trivial matter. "The believers in your divine kingdom are of the Elven race, and these cards are all Elves as well. Take them back first and show them to your family so they can assess the sincerity of our Divine Soldier Legion."

"If you agree to join, these won't count as part of your benefits, and you will still be entitled to the benefits I mentioned earlier."

"If you ultimately decide to decline, then... consider these cards a congratulatory gift from me as a friend, wishing you a bright future."

Fang Chuan said these words with effortless ease, yet they stirred up a massive storm in Liu Ruyan's heart.

"Oh my god..."

Liu Ruyan groaned inwardly, feeling her breathing become labored.

The Elven Bloodline belongs to a relatively noble branch among the many divine Bloodlines. Because of their handsome appearance and general proficiency in archery and magic, their market price has always remained high.

A single 3-Star Light Elven Archer card has a market price of at least 100,000 Faith Points. Fifty of them would be five million!

And a 4-Star Elven Magic Archer, or an Elven Druid, costs dozens of times more; you can't get a single one without at least three million Faith Points!

Ten 4-Stars would be thirty million Faith Points!

Combined, this stack of cards that Fang Chuan just pushed in front of her has a total value close to forty million!

Forty million Faith Points!

What kind of concept is that?

Her father works hard managing medicinal herbs in his divine kingdom, supplying materials to the military. At the end of the year, after deducting all costs and expenses, the net profit is only around one million Faith Points.

In other words, these cards that Fang Chuan brought out so casually are equivalent to her family's total income after forty years of working without eating or drinking!

And now, Fang Chuan is telling her so nonchalantly that these things are a "personal investment" in her.

He would even give them to her for free, even if she didn't join!

Liu Ruyan felt her head buzzing; she was completely flustered.

This is no longer just "sincerity"; this is simply smashing someone with money!

Compared to this, the treatment offered by that 4th-Rank deity relative basically amounts to nothing.

Although they are relatives, that 4th-Rank deity hasn't really looked after her family much; on the contrary, he has kept their profit margins quite low. If it weren't for knowing her talent, he probably wouldn't have remembered he had a poor relative like Liu Ruyan.

"Chuanzi... this... this is too valuable! I can't accept it!" Liu Ruyan instinctively wanted to push the cards back.

Although she craved these resources, her reason told her that one should not accept rewards without merit; she couldn't afford such a large gift.

"Take it." Fang Chuan's tone was unquestionable. "I said this is an investment. I believe in your potential, and besides, once you and Chaozi are together, we'll be family, so don't be polite with me."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Ruyan's face flushed red down to her neck, but she still obediently accepted the Believer cards.

He looked at Liu Ruyan's eyes, which were misted over with excitement and shock, and continued: "Your 'Extraordinary Fertility' talent would be a complete waste if only used to breed low-Rank believers. But if you have high-Rank believers as a 'parent stock' in your hands, the effect will be completely different."

"These ten 4-Star Elves are the 'seeds' I am giving you. I believe that before long, you will be able to bring me, and yourself, an Elven Legion."

Fang Chuan's words were like a key, instantly opening a door in Liu Ruyan's mind.

That's right!

The biggest feature of her talent is that it can accelerate the reproduction of believers and has a certain chance to cause beneficial mutations in offspring, raising their talent Rank.

But this talent has a huge limitation: the quality of the "parent stock" determines the upper limit of the offspring.

With these ten 4-Star Believers as parent stock, under the enhancement of her talent, the offspring bred will be at least 3-Star to start, with a high probability of being the same Rank, and a significant probability of having a Breakthrough to 5-Star!

Furthermore, the probability of the Extraordinary Fertility talent increases as Liu Ruyan's strength improves.

What Fang Chuan gave her was not just Believer cards worth forty million, but a broad and smooth path leading to becoming a powerhouse!

Zhang Chao, who was on the side, was also stunned.

He knew Fang Chuan was rich, but he didn't expect him to be this rich!

He knew even better that Fang Chuan was generous, but he didn't expect him to be this generous!

"Damn... Chuanzi, you really went all out!" Zhang Chao smacked his lips, looking at the stack of cards in front of Liu Ruyan, his eyes almost glowing.

If it were him, he would have agreed long ago; after all, he only had one 4-Star Werewolf.

Fang Chuan ignored Zhang Chao's fussing and just looked quietly at Liu Ruyan.

He knew that Liu Ruyan was a smart girl; she would figure out the pros and cons.

Sure enough, after the initial shock and struggle, the hesitation in Liu Ruyan's eyes gradually faded, replaced by an unprecedented determination.

She took a deep breath. "I will go back and explain this matter clearly to my parents immediately. I think they will make the right choice."

At this point, there was actually no suspense left.

Faced with such a huge temptation and a clearly visible bright future, anyone with a brain would know how to choose.

As for the favor of that 4th-Rank deity Lieutenant Colonel...

In the face of absolute benefits, human favors sometimes have to be weighed.

Fang Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good."

He looked at Liu Ruyan and threw out another condition she couldn't refuse.

"I know you might still be worried about offending that Lieutenant Colonel. How about this: if your family agrees, but that Lieutenant Colonel comes to cause you trouble or puts pressure on you because of it, you don't need to worry about it."

"Just give me a call."

"I'll have General Wei Zheng go over and have a heart-to-heart with him personally."

"Ge... General Wei Zheng?!"

Zhang Chao felt his scalp go numb, and his voice even trembled: "Chuanzi, are you talking about... the commander-in-chief of the Zhenxi Military Region, General Wei Zheng?!"

In the eight major military regions of the Dragon Kingdom, every commander-in-chief holds the Rank of General and is a titan truly standing at the pinnacle of the national power pyramid!

General Wei Zheng is even a leader among them, famous throughout the military for his strict discipline and illustrious military achievements.

Such a figure, for Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan, is simply a legendary existence, a name that could only be seen in news and textbooks.

And now, Fang Chuan actually said he could have General Wei Zheng personally go and have a "heart-to-heart" with a Lieutenant Colonel for this "small matter" of Liu Ruyan's family?

"That's right. My current Rank of Major General was also applied for on my behalf by General Wei Zheng to the Sovereign, and the Divine Soldier Legion was also established through the efforts of General Wei Zheng, under direct state control."

"And as the commander of the Divine Soldier Legion, I have the authority to choose my partners independently. As long as the other party agrees, no unit or individual is allowed to interfere!"

"Hiss—"

Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan both gasped in unison.

So that's how it is!

The establishment of the Divine Soldier Legion was actually proposed by General Wei Zheng himself!

No wonder!

No wonder Fang Chuan could have such great power!

At this moment, all doubts seemed to have a reasonable explanation.

With General Wei Zheng as his backer, let alone a small 4th-Rank deity Lieutenant Colonel, even if a 7th-Rank or 8th-Rank deity General came, they probably wouldn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Fang Chuan!

The last shred of doubt in Liu Ruyan's heart completely vanished.
