6: Chapter 6: This late-night snack is something you can't avoid even if you want to!

8:00 PM.

Xinghai City center, a detached small villa allocated by the Alliance.

Lin Feng sat on the sofa. With a slight movement of his will, he summoned his exclusive Godhood Panel.

[Godhood: Lin Feng]

[God Rank: First-Order Deity]

[Divine Office: Chaos Overlord]

[Divine Realm Area: 103,000 square kilometers (Desolate Land 100%, chaos purple qi 80%)]

[Resource Output: Zero]

[Faith Race: Taotie Sub-entities (106)]

[Core Lord: Taotie Larva (Fourth-Order)]

[Divine Realm Comprehensive Combat Power: 61,800]

[Divine Power Reserve: 1,080 drops (618 drops automatically converted daily)]

[Inventory: Ancient Topography Modification Card]

When combat power breaks ten thousand, the Divine Fire ignites spontaneously.

At this moment, he had completely stepped into the ranks of the gods.

By closing his eyes, he could clearly perceive every blade of grass and tree in his exclusive territory, no longer limited by a clunky Login Pod.

His gaze swept across the panel.

Lin Feng keenly noticed that the reserves of chaos purple qi had dropped by 20%.

This companion resource was being depleted as it was used, and he hadn't found a way to replenish it yet.

However, the biggest headache right now wasn't the purple qi, but the problem of feeding.

The jump from Fourth-Order to Fifth-Order was a natural chasm.

Ordinary First-Order races needed to reproduce tens of thousands of individuals before there was a slim chance of a Second-Order being born.

The difficulty of advancement was harder than ascending to the heavens.

If the Taotie wanted to continue leveling up, it had to frantically devour high-concentration flesh and blood.

Lin Feng closed the panel and sighed helplessly.

Opening the Star Net Mall, the cheapest Basic Reproduction Stone was priced at a thousand drops of divine power.

His entire net worth added up was just enough to buy one.

"Place order, purchase Basic Reproduction Stone."

Confirm payment.

In less than three minutes, the hum of a miniature drone came from outside the window.

A silver metal box was precisely delivered onto the balcony.

In the Main World, technology and the supernatural coexisted.

Although high-order deities could tear through space to deliver packages, obviously no one would do that; fully automated mechanical delivery remained the mainstream.

Getting the crystal stone, Lin Feng immediately sank his divine sense into his territory and crushed it.

A soft white light flashed across the wasteland.

As the light dissipated, a large group of herbivores covered in white fur appeared on the ground, slowly lowering their heads to eat dirt. There were at least three hundred of them.

"Prompt: Reproduction successful, obtained Zero-Order species — Fat-Wool Sheep."

Lin Feng's face turned dark.

His luck was really bad; he actually randomized a pure meat-hog species with zero combat capability to speak of.

Fortunately, they were meant to be used as fodder anyway.

Sensing the scent of fresh flesh, the mother beast dozing in the valley opened its vertical pupils.

It didn't even move its body; it simply opened its abyssal giant mouth and took a sudden breath.

Over three hundred Fat-Wool Sheep instantly soared into the air, turning into a rain of blood that flew into the giant mouth.

It chewed twice and swallowed them into its stomach.

The mother beast snorted and changed to a comfortable position to continue sleeping.

The aura of its rank didn't fluctuate in the slightest.

"What a spendthrift!"

Lin Feng's heart bled.

An income of over six hundred drops of divine power daily would definitely make him a tycoon among ordinary high school seniors.

But using it to raise this ancient glutton was simply a drop in the bucket.

He couldn't afford high-order crystals, and low-order crystals weren't enough to fill the gaps between its teeth.

In the final analysis, he was still short on money.

The children of major clans had countless resources piled up, while he could only start from scratch.

He had to find a way to get a huge sum of money.

A flash of inspiration struck his mind, and Lin Feng suddenly remembered next week's unified exam.

The Xinghai City Ten-School Joint Mock Exam.

This major exam was not only to gauge their levels but was also a highlight for major universities to fight over educational resources.

Besides the regular tests, the ten middle schools would also hold a 'Friendly Combat Competition.'

Rumor had it that the top prize for this combat competition was a full one million drops of divine power!

"One million divine power reward..."

Lin Feng's eyes completely lit up.

Wasn't this an ATM custom-made for him?

With this huge sum, the Taotie's food expenses would definitely be covered!

...

The morning light tore through the night curtain.

Lin Feng rolled out of bed, his mind filled with the one million divine power prize money.

Today was the day he was to report for his transfer to the Special Training Class.

He went out and found a roadside stall to buy breakfast.

The stall owner was a young man with a weathered face, operating an old mechanical pancake cart.

These low-level laborers were all failed gods who had failed to ignite their Divine Fire back then.

The Main World seemed glamorous, but in reality, it was incredibly cruel.

If your god rank stagnated or you failed to open a divine realm, you could only do manual labor phased out by automated equipment, earning meager survival supplies.

If he hadn't awakened the system, he would have eventually had to push a tricycle on the street selling grilled sausages too.

After finishing the pancake, Lin Feng walked quickly into the gates of No. 1 Middle School.

The Special Training Class was located on the top floor, with a fixed quota of fifty people, and the school's resources were heavily skewed toward them.

Just as he pushed open the classroom door, several ill-intentioned boys walked toward him.

"Oh, the newcomer is here?"

The boy in the lead was wearing high-end designer clothes, his eyes full of contempt. "And who did I think it was? Isn't this the Great Trash Lin who hasn't cultivated a single hair in three years?"

Zheng Yu.

The young master of the Zheng family in Xinghai City. Relying on the fact that his family owned mines, he had always looked down on commoner students.

"If you have something to say, say it. Don't block the way." Lin Feng didn't even lift his eyelids.

As expected, no matter where you go, there's no shortage of idiots delivering themselves like takeout.

"Quite a temper, huh?"

A lackey nearby sneered, "Brother Yu, he's a martyr's orphan. His parents went to the Outer Realm Battlefield and became cannon fodder. The school has to give the dead some face; what's a spot in the Special Training Class to them?"

Making fun of the dead?

Lin Feng's gaze instantly turned to ice, and a sliver of killing intent spread in his heart.

"What's the matter? Not convinced? Have the guts to have a go on the Divine Realm Duel Platform?" Zheng Yu said mockingly.

He didn't believe that a poor kid who got in through connections could have any combat power worth mentioning.

Just as Lin Feng was prepared to take action.

A petite figure suddenly dashed out, spreading her arms to stand in the middle.

"Zheng Yu! You're leading the bullying of a classmate again!"

The girl had twin ponytails, and her cheeks were puffed with anger, looking just like a little hamster protecting its food.

Tang You, a genius support-type deity in the Special Training Class.

"Tang You, this is none of your business. Stop meddling!" Zheng Yu frowned, somewhat wary of the family behind the girl.

"The school explicitly prohibits private fighting. If you're so capable, let's see the real deal during the unified exam!" Tang You didn't back down an inch.

The two were at a standoff.

"What are you all doing? Back to your seats!"

A deep, powerful voice drifted in from outside the door.

Principal Qin walked onto the podium with his lesson plans.

The Special Training Class had a special status, and it was common for the principal to teach the classes himself.

Seeing the big boss appear, Zheng Yu and his group could only obediently retreat to the back row.

Lin Feng also suppressed his anger and found an empty seat to sit down.

"Don't be afraid, classmate."

Tang You leaned over and lowered her voice, "Zheng Yu is just all talk. As long as you're in school, he won't dare to do anything reckless."

Lin Feng looked at the warm-hearted girl in front of him, feeling speechless.

Big sister, you're not protecting me.

You're protecting my extra meal rations for tonight.

...

The morning's theory class was full of useful information.

Principal Qin focused on analyzing the rules of the Ten-School Combat Competition.

Special Training Class students were exempt from the basic tests and would directly participate in the final combat slaughter.

The first-place winner would be rewarded with one million drops of divine power.

Ordinary children from clans might not care much about this huge sum, but for a pauper like Lin Feng, this was the evolution fodder for the Taotie's next stage!

The school bell rang.

Principal Qin called Lin Feng alone to the corridor: "Can you keep up with the pace of the Special Training Class?"

"It's good, I've learned a lot of new things." Lin Feng nodded.

"If you run into trouble, find me anytime." Principal Qin patted his shoulder, "Don't let me down in next week's combat competition."

"Rest assured."

...

Night fell, and the lights of Xinghai City were brilliant.

Lin Feng took a comfortable shower, leaned on the sofa, and closed his eyes.

His will pierced through the void, precisely locking onto the coordinates of Zheng Yu's divine realm.

The school indeed didn't allow private fighting.

But that didn't stop him from doing something big outside of school.

Just as his weak divine sense was about to penetrate, it was bounced back by a transparent energy shield.

This was the protection mechanism of the Login Pod.

The will of a First-Order Deity couldn't yet break through the Alliance's specially made physical protective shield.

Was he not going to be able to eat this late-night snack?

Just as Lin Feng was calculating how to break the defense, a burst of wild laughter suddenly came from the void.

"Hahaha! This is truly strange!"

"I haven't even gone to settle the score with you, yet you trash actually came to my door to seek death yourself!"

Zheng Yu had obviously sensed Lin Feng's intentions, his tone full of arrogance. "Today, this young master will show you what it means to walk right into a trap!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

There was a crisp 'click' sound.

Zheng Yu actually took the initiative to turn off the Login Pod's protection mechanism.

The boundaries of the two divine realms were instantly connected.

Lin Feng was slightly stunned and almost laughed out loud.

"Holy crap..."

"There really is such a 'genius' in this world."
