118: Chapter 118 Your Vision Saved You

He also checked the progress of the altar in passing.

[E-Rank Divine Building: blessing of the sacrificer]

[Current probability of breaking through to the next Transcendence level: 3.73066743%]

[Blessed Race: Ant-man Race]

[Triggered: 2 times]

It seems it was also exerting its power during the last collective Transcendence.

Gu Han rubbed his chin and did a quick calculation. Based on the current size and Reproduction speed of the Ant-man Race, it would only take about seventy-plus days to gather 9.6 billion to max out the blessing probability.

It could have been faster, but after the Ant-man Race as a whole entered the first level of Transcendence, the average lifespan of the Fine Black Ant-men increased significantly from the original ten years to twenty years.

The lifespans of other combat-type Ant-men also increased by ten years, and longevity meant that the frequency of voluntary sacrifices before dying of old age was lowered.

Originally, large groups of Ant-men who reached the age limit would line up to jump into the altar every day, but now that everyone could live ten years longer, the queue had visibly shrunk.

Some might say, then just breed a shorter-lived Ant-man Race, or some other race.

That is possible, but unnecessary; the new Ant-man Race would still be born transcendent due to their Transcendence traits. It is hard to say that other races would be willing to sacrifice themselves for the tribe.

Gu Han had tried the Bee-man Race, which had similar social characteristics, but they often died of overwork—dying outside, dying on the way to and from collecting flowers—which was not suitable for sacrifice.

It was only seventy days, which was worth waiting for. Besides, now that the area of the Divine Kingdom had expanded, the population would surge in the future, and it might not even take seventy days.

Gu Han opened the trading platform.

He typed "blessing of the sacrificer" into the search box.

Ordinary people steered clear of this item, and it had been listed for sale for years without anyone buying it; there were only six units left across the entire network.

Gu Han did not hesitate and bought them all immediately.

He planned to use the [blessing of the sacrificer] to bring every blade of grass and tree in the Divine Kingdom to the Transcendence realm.

With his reputation and strength as the "Loan King," there would definitely be no shortage of Divine Sources delivered to his door in the future. Once there was more Divine Source, the area of the Divine Kingdom would skyrocket, and he would be able to raise more kin to enrich his combat power.

As long as there were enough transcendent creatures breaking through within the Divine Kingdom, he could not only collect the power of faith on a large scale but also roll for rare Transcendence traits through the massive population base.

His handheld device suddenly rang.

Gu Han glanced at the screen; it was a string of unknown numbers with no name attached.

In this day and age, everyone was surfing the internet, yet someone was actually calling.

He pressed the answer button.

"Hello, who is this?"

A resonant male voice came from the other end of the line: "Is this student Gu Han? I am President Du Fanghai of the Duhai Group. Do you remember me?"

Gu Han raised an eyebrow.

That was the person who had handed him a business card on the podium, the boss of the sponsor who provided 10,000 square kilometers of Divine Source.

"Oh, it's President Du." Gu Han switched to a slightly more polite tone. "How did you get my number?"

"Oh, you never contacted me, so I asked your principal for it." President Du Fanghai's laughter came through the speaker.

Gu Han muttered to himself, thinking that the old geezer of a principal must be a treacherous official; just moments after bragging on TV about waiving his tuition, he turned around and sold his contact information.

"Does President Du have something to discuss with me?" Gu Han went straight to the point.

President Du Fanghai's tone became somewhat earnest: "Student Gu Han, I have seen the news on TV. I heard that those powerful plant followers of yours were developed using a self-service crossbreeding machine?"

Gu Han did not respond, waiting for the other party to continue.

"It is like this, our Duhai Group also works in biotechnology." President Du Fanghai continued, "Could you publicly claim that the crossbreeding machine you used is a product under our Duhai Biotechnology? I have already made arrangements with Principal Zhang. As long as you nod, I can give you an advertising fee of 5 billion credit points. What do you think?"

5 billion credit points would be a huge sum of money that could knock out an ordinary freshman, but Gu Han was a freshman carrying over 200 billion in loans.

In the battle where Gu Han tortured Tang Wuying, even Chu Yue had received quite a few investments from financial groups because of it. If the Duhai Group took the opportunity to announce that they were the equipment supplier for Gu Han's research on the Mushroom Person followers, then Duhai Biotechnology's stock could hit the daily limit as soon as the market opened tomorrow.

For a large group with a market value of trillions, the profit brought by a few daily limit increases would make 5 billion look like pocket change.

A big boss who could casually pull out a 10,000-square-kilometer Divine Source card as a prize, trying to buy this hype for 5 billion—he was too shrewd.

"President Du." Gu Han sighed, his tone filled with the clarity and innocence of a college student. "Isn't this deceiving people? Although I didn't pay attention to what brand that self-service crossbreeding machine was, my grandmother often said..."

"20 billion." President Du Fanghai interrupted cleanly; how could he not understand what Gu Han meant?

Gu Han's voice did not pause for a second, and he continued at a very fast pace: "I just took a look and realized that the machine seems to really be produced by your Duhai Biotechnology. However, that machine has been broken by me now." Gu Han changed the subject. "Can President Du sponsor a new model?"

"Easy, easy." President Du Fanghai let out a hearty laugh on the other end of the line. "I will have someone send you the top-of-the-line model later."

Everyone was a smart person; many things did not need to be stated explicitly. Gu Han did not act coy either; he added the boss on WeChat and sent him the one-time coordinate of the Divine Kingdom.

President Du Fanghai was also incredibly surprised; he did not know if this young man was feigning intelligence or truly genuine, as he had actually sent him the one-time Divine Kingdom coordinate directly.

It was rare to have such boldness at a young age. He immediately arranged for the payment and the shipment of the new crossbreeding machine.

After receiving the 20 billion payment and the new crossbreeding machine, Gu Han turned around and listed the principal's old one on the Zhuanzhuan second-hand platform.

He was slightly disappointed; it seemed that this President Du's cooperation with the Tang Family was not very deep, as he had not developed evil intentions to invade the Divine Kingdom to take back the Divine Source just because Gu Han had taken it.

Your perspective saved you, President Du.
