162: Chapter 162 Promotion Channels

It was not just Fang Yuanming whose face was hot and heart was racing; even Patriarch Fang Hong, the head of the family, felt his throat go dry.

According to this calculation, as a Second-order Deity, he was missing out on a full 4.5 million divine power points a month just by not being an Enforcement Elder! That was over 50 million divine power points a year!

Damn it!!!!

Their Fang Family's total annual income was less than 20 million divine power points! And he could lose the equivalent of two and a half times the Fang Family's total annual revenue in just one year?!

What a joke!!!

Losing his life was one thing, but losing divine power points—especially such a terrifying amount—was absolutely out of the question!

Enforcement Elder! He had to become an Enforcement Elder! Not just himself, all the Elders of the Fang Family had to strive to be promoted to Enforcement Elders!

If even the head of a powerful family was this fanatical, let alone the classmates who had joined less than a day ago.

At this moment, they were frantically shaking each other, appearing completely unable to contain their excitement.

"It's too crazy! Simply too crazy! If we become Enforcement Elders, that's 90,000 divine power points a day!"

"That's 2.7 million divine power points a month! If I could have 90,000 divine power points a day, I could eat Law fragments like meals!"

"Forget about promoting to Third-order, we might even have a chance at becoming an Intermediate God!"

"Don't forget, this is just the treatment for a First-order Enforcement Elder. A Second-order Enforcement Elder gets 200,000 divine power points a day, and a Third-order one gets a million!"

"A Third-order Enforcement Elder can save up 360 million divine power points in a year! Good heavens! Even our academy instructors don't have this kind of treatment, right?"

"Forget academy instructors, I even doubt if an Intermediate God's income is as high as a Third-order Enforcement Elder's?!"

"You tell me, if a Third-order Enforcement Elder has this kind of treatment, then what about an Intermediate God…"

Magistrate Mei Fang quietly did the math for Lord Lin. Counting himself as a Third-order, one Second-order, and five First-order in the Seven Great Pavilions, that was 1.65 million divine power points.

Over a thousand Divine Guards, among which 10 were Second-order. That was nearly 11 million divine power points.

The Fang Family had two Second-order Deities, and the remaining nine hundred plus were all First-order. Together, that was considered 10 million divine power points.

Counting everyone else, the Master had to pay out around 25 million divine power points every day! That was 750 million a month, and what about a year? Ten years?

After reaching this conclusion, even as a Third-order Deity and Magistrate, Mei Fang felt a wave of dizziness.

Theoretically, Deities have endless Lifespan, but most Deities in the Divine Domain die somewhere for resources before they can reach the end of their lives.

But now, it seemed the Master had solved the resource problem?

If the Master could maintain this level of treatment, what would they look like in ten years? A hundred, or a thousand years later?

A force composed entirely of Intermediate Gods, or even High-rank Gods?

Wasn't this the configuration of a super first-tier Star Domain…

At this moment, Mei Fang suddenly began to doubt the Master's background. The current situation could no longer be explained by a third-generation member of a great family.

Let alone the third generation, even the second or those of the first generation. Or to put it another way, even the Lin Family of Xuanyuan Star probably wouldn't dare to throw around divine power points like this…

Mei Fang didn't dare to think further. With his experience, it was hard to imagine what kind of existence could treat divine power points as if they weren't money.

At this moment, Patriarch Fang Hong no longer needed Fang Yuanming's hint. He was already impatient to know how to get this Protector Elder position!

The dignified head of the Fang Family was now like a good student listening in class. He raised his right hand high, and after receiving the Lord's permission...

His lips couldn't help but tremble. He was a Second-order Deity, after all. To be unable to control his own expression showed just how excited he was.

"L... Lord, this subordinate wants... wants to know. What are the rules for this Protector Elder position? How can we subordinates be promoted to Protector Elder?"

"Suppose a First-order Protector Elder is promoted. When he reaches the Second-order, does he need to be promoted from an ordinary Elder again, or is he directly a Second-order Protector Elder?"

Watching the Second-order head of the Fang Family speak with a trembling voice, Lin Xiao was secretly satisfied; this was the effect he wanted.

"I can see that everyone is very curious about this Rank promotion? Then let me give you a rough explanation here…"

At this moment, everyone's ears pricked up, fearing they might miss a single word. But as Deities, how could they possibly miss anything?

In the corner of the private room, a group of alien races looked at Lin Xiao in the center of the room with strange expressions.

The bald cow, which had previously been disciplined by Yan Cang, spoke in a muffled voice, asking Yan Cang.

"Boss, does what Lord Lin said include us? Can we also have the treatment mentioned above…"

Before Yan Cang could speak, a wolf-type alien demigod beside the bald cow yanked his tail hard.

"What kind of silly talk is that? If we weren't included, why would Lord Lin call us over?"

"Besides, have you forgotten the resources you get every day now? If not given by Lord Lin, did they fall from the sky?"

Yan Cang's pair of flaming eyes glanced at the bald cow.

"I know you have no brain, so can you speak less? This is the Human Race's territory; be careful, or you might be treated as Artifact Refining Materials or ingredients and stewed."

"Boss, you're scaring me again. Besides, my meat is too tough and bad for the teeth; it doesn't taste good…"

At this moment, all the subordinates in the room were focused on Lin Xiao; as for these alien races, no one had paid attention to them from the beginning, or rather, they had deliberately ignored them.

"First, let me answer your second question. If a First-order Protector Elder is promoted, then when he is Second-order, or even Third-order, he remains a Protector Elder."

Only after promoting to an Intermediate God will it start over from the beginning.

As for the promotion issue everyone is concerned about? I consider it from several aspects. First, naturally, is external warfare, slaying enemies, capturing, seizing spoils, and so on.

These all count as your personal meritorious service; once accumulated to a certain degree, you will naturally be promoted. However, for now, this channel has not yet been opened.

After all, it seems we don't have any enemies for the time being?

Besides this, another aspect is the improvement of skills. For example, the first three people to refine a Magic Treasure or Spirit Treasure.

Or, for example, having ideas and refining special Magical Artifacts or Magic Treasures with good functions that don't exist in the outside world? Or simply cracking certain restricted-sale special Magic Treasures, and so on.

Roughly two directions: skill improvement and innovation/cracking.

In addition to these two aspects, offering special resources, treasures, or even talents that don't exist in the outside world can also earn corresponding individual contributions.

I will list out a contribution list later, and everyone can compare and take a look. In short, it's one sentence: those who contribute to our force can obtain individual contributions.

And individual contributions are the necessary condition for your Rank promotion."

Hearing this explanation, the subordinates were naturally happy or worried.

The Pavilion Masters of the five great pavilions and the Deities with relevant sub-professions were naturally rubbing their hands, wanting to make a big move to promote their Rank.

Even though they were all already Second-Rank Executive Elders, wasn't there still a First-Rank above them? No one would find divine power points to be too much.

As for those who didn't have relevant sub-professions or lacked confidence in their professional skills, they wore worried expressions.

It seemed they had no channel to promote their Rank?

After carefully ruminating on Lin Xiao's last sentence, a light slowly appeared in Patriarch Fang Hong's eyes.

"Lord! I have a lead to report! Someone wants to act against you and the Temple!"
