Global Deities: My SSS-Rank Talent Lets Me Evolve Everything

Chapter 38: Genius Exchange Group

For the rest of the time, everyone began to exchange information about the development of their respective Divine Kingdoms, including Divine Kingdom investments, how to improve the strength of believers, as well as various types of demonic beasts and spiritual plants.

After listening for a while, Yang Fan could not help but frown.

He realized that since receiving the investment from the Luo Family, the things his classmates were discussing seemed to no longer be on the same level as his own, and much of their experience was completely unnecessary to learn from.

For instance, with the Hundred Spirits Blood Pool steadily producing blood pills, there was simply no need to cultivate the low-tier spiritual plants that his classmates mentioned for improving the strength of believers.

Furthermore, regarding Divine Kingdom investments, Yang Fan’s current monthly income was in the tens of millions, so he had absolutely no interest in those small-scale venture investments.

“It seems there is no need to attend these class reunions in the future,” Yang Fan decided in his heart.

People strive for higher ground, just as water flows downward; since these experiences were meaningless to him, he might as well save his time to browse the God Forum more often.

After having their fill of food and drink, Li Shuhao arranged a separate private room for everyone, and soon only he and Yang Fan remained in the room.

“After receiving the Luo Family investment, do you find this gathering boring?” Li Shuhao asked with a smile.

Yang Fan nodded and asked with some curiosity, “You quite enjoy organizing these types of events, don’t you?”

It should be known that Li Shuhao’s circumstances were the same as his; attending gatherings at this level meant he could basically only offer advice to others without gaining any help himself.

Yang Fan could not understand this time-wasting behavior of his.

“The development of a Divine Kingdom mainly relies on its own evolution; pouring resources in and staring at it constantly doesn’t have much meaning. Besides studying in the library, I always have to find some amusement for myself. Don’t you think this feeling of being the center of attention is great!” Li Shuhao said with extreme pride.

Hearing his explanation, Yang Fan felt a headache coming on; it turned out this guy just liked to show off.

“Getting down to business, I received a task from the group leader to invite you to the group, and I have sent you a link.”

“Group leader?”

Yang Fan looked at the message that suddenly popped up, which read: “Yang County Genius Exchange Group (Class of 2026) invites you to join.”

Yang Fan tapped lightly with his right hand, and within a few breaths, the administrator approved it, and group messages began to pop up one after another.

“A newcomer has arrived, is there a red envelope?”

“Welcome, classmate Yang Fan. New members, please change your nickname. This group uses real names: [Affiliation Prefix] + [Personal Name].”

“So it’s Brother Yang Fan. I am Tie Feng from the Blacksmith Association. If your Divine Kingdom’s believers ever need weapons, you can come to me. The prices are favorable, and I guarantee they are cheaper than the mall.”

“Let’s grab a drink sometime; I am Wang Yuan, a member of the Li Family by marriage.”

…

Li Shuhao said, “Since it’s your first time in the group, you could send a red envelope of 100,000 Faith Points as a gesture.”

Yang Fan nodded; he didn’t care about such a small expenditure at all now.

With the newcomer’s red envelope, many people in the group were drawn out.

Yang Fan opened the red envelope himself and discovered that the “Luckiest One” was actually a familiar name.

“Luo Bing, 30,000.”

“The group leader is amazing. Out of 100 people grabbing it, she snatched 30,000 out of 100,000.” Li Shuhao looked at the 199 Faith Points he had grabbed and nearly coughed up blood in anger.

“Are all the people in this group those geniuses from Class 1?” Yang Fan asked.

“Pretty much. It’s mainly the new generation of the major families in Yang County. Of course, there are also geniuses like us who stood out during the Divine Kingdom awakening and the grand competition. The group leader is Luo Bing, and the vice group leader is Li Tianheng; they are the top two prodigies in our No. 1 High School.”

“Didn’t you just feel that our Class 7 gathering was meaningless? The people in this group are the elite of this year’s No. 1 High School, and most of them were born into major families; their Divine Kingdom heritage, personal insight, and sources of information are all above ours. The things I used to show off at class reunions were actually just things I relayed from them.” Li Shuhao smiled awkwardly.

“No wonder. I thought the Li Family had gods giving lectures.”

“How is that possible? Do you think those gods are that idle? No matter how much of a genius we are, at the end of the day, we are only Divine Beings. In the eyes of those gods, we are still ants. Unless it’s a direct family member, for a second-tier genius like me, those elders wouldn’t even greet me if they met me.” Li Shuhao rolled his eyes.

“Whether it’s Divine Beings, demigods, or gods, everyone needs to trade with each other, cooperate to explore unknown realms, and help one another; that is the norm. If one remains isolated and fights alone, they will eventually be left further and further behind by others. This exchange group is like a small circle of mutual recognition where we can trade resources, share news, and sometimes the group even holds events. After graduating and going to university, members of the group can also become allies for offense and defense. Don’t mute the group messages; this group is truly useful for us,” Li Shuhao said with a serious expression.

Yang Fan nodded.

“Thank you.”

“Let’s not be formal with each other; we are both from Class 7, Grade 12, so our relationship is naturally closer than with the others.”

Just then, a prickly group message suddenly appeared.

“He’s just a live-in son-in-law of my Luo Family; since when did the threshold for entering the group become so low?”

The speaker’s nickname was Luo Mingxuan, a direct descendant of the Luo Family.

Looking at the message in the group, Yang Fan frowned slightly.

Li Shuhao couldn’t help but say, “Yesterday, when we were discussing whether you were qualified to join the group, this guy was already being snide. You just joined the Luo Family; how did you offend this person?”

Yang Fan shook his head.

“I don’t know him.”

“That’s strange. Could he be a troublemaker with a mental problem?” Li Shuhao couldn’t help but complain.

Everyone is a classmate; being able to join this group means one has sufficient potential.

The development of a Divine Kingdom is a long-distance run, and no one knows what the future holds.

Therefore, even if people look down on each other, they still greet each other with a smile on the surface; after all, you never know when you might need to cooperate.

Someone like Luo Mingxuan, who openly mocks others, is definitely an outlier.

“His talent is strong enough, and he is qualified to join the group. Do you have an opinion?” It was the group leader, Luo Bing, who spoke up.

Following Luo Bing’s statement, the entire group went quiet.

Luo Bing was the number one person in the third year of high school in Yang County this year, an absolute boss; since she had spoken, who would dare to talk back?

In the real world, in the Luo Family villa area, Luo Mingxuan slammed his virtual helmet onto the floor.

“A bumpkin actually dares to compete with me; just you wait.”

Luo Mingxuan dared not vent his anger at Luo Bing, so he could only transfer his rage onto Yang Fan, who hadn’t said a word from start to finish.

In the Virtual World, Yang Fan suddenly received a private message from Luo Bing.

“Do not worry about Luo Mingxuan. If he causes trouble, you can contact me. Take good care of my cousin.”

The other party speaking up for him was actually out of consideration for Luo Rou.

“My cheap wife actually knows this ice beauty!” Yang Fan was a bit surprised in his heart.

Now that he had a wife, Yang Fan felt embarrassed to spend the night at Tianxiang Renjian.

Under Li Shuhao’s “I understand you” gaze, Yang Fan returned to reality.
