28: Chapter 28 The Demigod's Hatred

"This is your villa jade token, sir. You can contact us for anything through this jade token."

Looking at the vast complex of buildings before him, which was shrouded by a giant magic array, he activated the jade token in his hand, causing it to emit a beam of light.

A door slowly appeared in the array before him. After stepping inside, an extremely dense and pure spiritual energy instantly surged into Lin Xiao's body.

It felt as if he were soaking in a comfortable hot spring. Lush greenery surrounded him on both sides, and various A-grade Spirit Fruit on the trees emitted a fresh, fruity fragrance.

A light shuttle with an extremely comfortable interior modification appeared before him, and its doors opened. A synthesized mechanical voice rang out at the perfect moment.

"Welcome home, Master. Since the villa grounds are quite large, you may ride me to the central area."

Inside the light shuttle, he could barely feel any sway, and the scenery on both sides flashed by rapidly. In just over ten seconds, the light shuttle arrived in front of the massive building in the central area.

As the jade token was activated, the villa gate opened inward. Two rows of mechanical constructs were neatly arranged on both sides inside the door, bowing in unison toward Lin Xiao.

"Welcome home, Master."

A female mechanical construct, which looked no different from a real person, walked up. A pleasant female voice emanated from her mouth.

"Greetings, respected Master. I am your villa housekeeper assistant. I am very happy to be of service to you. You can come to me for any issues within the villa."

Looking up at the ceiling hundreds of meters high, Lin Xiao was speechless. No one mentioned this villa was so huge before, right?

A massive villa capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people, yet now only he lived here. It felt a bit strange.

"Good thing there are these mechanical constructs, otherwise I'd be afraid of getting lost just walking around my own home."

"Housekeeper, right? I've just arrived at my new home and need to take a bath, then find me some new clothes. Finally, prepare a rich Spirit Meal for me."

Upon hearing this, the mechanical housekeeper bowed slightly to him, then waved her hand gently, causing a magic array to light up beneath Lin Xiao's feet.

"Master, please do not move. The array will transport you to the bathing area. There will be specialized mechanical constructs there to serve you, including fresh clothes. I will arrange the Spirit Meal for you immediately, guaranteeing that it will be ready as soon as you finish bathing."

Just as Lin Xiao nodded to indicate he understood, his surroundings shifted. He arrived beside a massive pool steaming with heat.

Two female-shaped mechanical constructs were currently bowing respectfully toward him.

"Welcome, Master. We will now assist you with your bath..."

About five minutes later, Lin Xiao sat at the huge long table, looking content. Dishes of Spirit Meal were being served continuously like a flowing stream.

"Housekeeper, stop for a moment. I probably won't be able to finish all this. Don't serve the rest; it's a waste."

He picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and the next moment, a familiar scene unfolded. A small portion of a dish appeared in his bowl.

Seeing him stunned, the housekeeper immediately bowed to the side and explained.

"Master, there is no need for surprise. The villa is covered by a spatial array. It not only allows you to quickly reach any area, but you also don't need to get up to enjoy these Spirit Meals."

After eating two bites, Lin Xiao finally remembered. He had been so focused on buying buildings, ingredients, and medicinal pills earlier that he had forgotten to buy cultivation techniques for his two subordinates.

Thinking of this, he performed a series of operations on his wristwatch. He bought three copies each of the two cultivation techniques his teacher had mentioned.

After sending one copy to each of his two subordinates, he thought about it and simply transferred 100 million faith points to them.

"Remember to load the cultivation techniques. You two go ahead and use these faith points first. Buy whatever you lack, and if it's not enough, ask me for more. Hmm, for now, don't pay off your families' loans yet."

He added that last sentence mainly because Lin Xiao didn't want to clash with the War Deity behind their parents just yet.

After knowing that gods could be used as secret realms, he became a bit more cautious. While his strength had yet to grow, he would try to offend as few gods as possible.

"We will strictly follow your instructions, my Lord."

Unfortunately, some things cannot be avoided just because you don't want them to happen. At this moment, at a certain workstation in the sales office.

A male demigod had a gloomy expression on his face, and a line of data was appearing on the projection before him.

"Tianjing Divine Mansion" Courtyard No. 6: Rented. Resident: Lin Xiao (Divine Being) Verified.

"Damn it! Out of all the places to choose, why did he have to choose mine! A mere Divine Being... Hmph!"

After finishing his meal, he teleported to his bedroom. Lying on a bed spacious enough for ten people without feeling crowded, Lin Xiao began to observe his divine kingdom.

At this moment, one thousand people were already training inside the spirit gathering martial arts hall. In the time it took for a brief moment in the outside world, several days had already passed within the divine kingdom.

Just from their appearance, one could tell the difference between these selected Believers and those in the outside world who hadn't undergone training.

In a certain training room, a wooden dummy used for training shattered instantly under the attack of a Believer.

The scattered wooden splinters hit the Believer, but didn't leave even a single mark.

In another body-tempering room, a Believer was shirtless, currently confronting several mechanical constructs holding blades and swords.

He found an opening and launched a fierce attack on one of the mechanical constructs. With each punch and kick, the construct's mechanical metal body was forcefully dented.

The other machines surrounding the Believer struck him with their blades and swords, but only left white marks on his body.

In the array practice field, one hundred Believers had formed a large array and were battling over a dozen Tier 1 beasts.

Fighting with their bare hands, these dozen or so beasts were quickly slaughtered by the Believers. Then, more Tier 1 beasts appeared in the space.

Watching all this within the divine kingdom, Lin Xiao nodded secretly.

"I've been so focused on improving the Believers' strength, I actually forgot to buy them some arrays..."

Since he had remembered, he immediately began browsing the shopping section.

"Eight Directions Golden Lock Array" Price: 1,000,000 faith points. Trapping array.

"Nine Curves Interlocking Array" Price: 1,000,000 faith points. Defensive array.

"Ten Directions Slaughter Array" Price: 1,500,000 faith points. Killing array.

He bought three sets at once and incidentally sent one set to each of his two subordinates. Naturally, he received another round of gratitude from them.

The next day, counting the daily income of 1.8 million divine power points, the amount of divine power points in Lin Xiao's hands had reached 1.93 million again.

After enjoying a rich breakfast in the villa, he lay on the bed and entered the virtual classroom.

The teacher had taught almost everything that needed to be taught over the past ten-plus days. Now, entering the virtual classroom every day was more about the students learning from each other.

Calling it learning was actually more like showing off to one another. For example, what realm their Believers had reached, what resources had been added to their divine kingdoms, and so on.

Because Lin Xiao didn't participate much in these showing-off activities, those idle rumors were spread under such circumstances.

"Greetings, my Lord."

Compared to the past, Wang Tao and Su Xue's faces today were filled with unconcealable excitement. Seeing Lin Xiao appear, they immediately stepped forward to greet him.

It wasn't surprising they were so excited; the effect of 6 billion worth of medicinal pills had simply left them stunned.

In just one day, the one thousand Believers they had selected could already engage in head-on combat with Tier 1 beasts.

If it weren't for them suppressing the Believers, making them reach their own limits before breaking through, those one thousand Believers might have even reached Tier 2 by now!

How could the two of them not be excited? With this kind of effect, they had no doubt. If they hadn't restricted the Believers...

They would be able to promote to become demigods in at most half a month!

Half a month! Their extravagant wish before had been to break through to demigod within thirty years.

Just at this moment, a few classmates came over with smiles on their faces.

"The class assessment is coming up soon. Wang Tao, Su Xue, how is the development of your Believers going? Tell us about it."

"Yeah, yeah. You two have been acting all mysterious for so many days and haven't been interacting with everyone. How can you improve like this?"

"They've pledged allegiance to classmate Lin, so I assume they've been training in secret all these days. Planning to stun everyone during the assessment, huh? Hahaha!"
