Chapter 7, the baseline assessment begins

Once again entering the divine realm, during this time, more than ten new fishmen were added. However, more than ten old fishmen also perished, resulting in a net balance. Nevertheless, he lost a few of his followers.

The teacher is truly biased

Not to mention that the transactions between players in the divine realm are either through barter or using faith points, nor to discuss the upgrading of factions and other expenses, but rather this five hundred thousand faith points, in fact, is not much at all, as converting it into divine power is barely sufficient for a fraction.

In summary, Lin Xiao relies on this group of fishmen to earn approximately 350 points of faith value each day

He paused for a moment, and amidst the astonished and expectant gazes of his classmates, he said

This time, due to the increased difficulty of the assessment, the rewards will be additionally enhanced compared to previous occasions. Students ranked from eleventh to twentieth in the class will receive one designated one-star card, while the top ten will receive one designated two-star card. The third place will receive an additional three-star card on top of the two-star card, and the second place will receive an additional four-star card on top of the two-star card

However, this is the most ideal situation; in reality, he is currently earning a stable amount of faith points around two hundred seventy to eighty each day

This ratio is already quite good, considering that the lifespan of a fish person is too short, with a life expectancy of just over ten years, not even reaching twenty years. There is simply no opportunity to gradually strengthen their faith, and generally, one reaches the level of a true believer before reaching their peak.

However, even so, he accumulates two hundred seventy to eighty points every day. Combined with what he had previously, he has now accumulated a total of over five hundred thousand faith points.

As of now, the tribe has a total of 654 fishmen, among which there are 19 zealots, 68 devout believers, 116 shallow believers, and the remaining 451 fishmen are all true believers

This further strengthened Lin Xiao's determination to perform well in this test. Whether the teacher pays attention or not is one thing; the main point is that five-star card that can specify a type. This is indeed a valuable item

After finishing his words and with a flick of his large sleeves, Lin Xiao felt a tremendous force surge towards him, propelling him uncontrollably out of the hall. Before leaving the hall, he vaguely noticed that a few classmates did not leave like he did; Wu Hai and Zheng Wenzhuo were still remaining in the hall.

A devout believer can provide 1 point of faith value in a day. Currently, the Fishman tribe has 68 devout believers, who can provide a total of 68 points of faith value in a day

A fervent belief can provide 10 points of faith in a day. He currently has 19 fanatics, which can yield 190 points of faith daily. To provide the maximum amount of faith with the least number of followers, it is said that high-quality believers are the most valuable asset for a deity

Although I have long been accustomed to it, I still feel quite angry to be overlooked in this manner

Currently, the consumption is not significant; however, as the number of believers increases in the future, the consumption will become substantial. If there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of believers, a single divine revelation would yield tens or hundreds of millions of faith points

It seems like there is a lot, yet it is hardly durable

At this moment, the voice of the homeroom teacher sounded again

Lin Xiao thought the same and immediately entered the Divine Realm login device to begin connecting to the Divine Realm

According to the conversion ratio of faith value to divine power, one million points of faith value can be converted into one point of divine power, while five hundred thousand points cannot yet be converted into any.

In the past, it took over a hundred years to accumulate a small amount of divine power, but now, in less than eight years, half a point has been accumulated, a speed that is many times faster. Moreover, this speed will continue to increase as his divine realm develops. In another two years, by the time of the upcoming college entrance examination, it is not impossible to reach a point of divine power per year.

The rules for this preliminary test are no different from those in the past, and you may now return to prepare

Therefore, a shallow believer of the Fishman can provide 0.02 points of faith each day, which can almost be considered useless

Fortunately, with the birth of a new generation of fish people, they receive education in tribal beliefs from a young age. Upon reaching adulthood, the newly born fish people possess at least a shallow belief, with nearly one-third having a genuine faith and becoming true believers

As they age, all true believers can acquire the preloaded skill of the Salty Fish Spike, significantly enhancing their strength. This greatly stimulated the shallow believers, a considerable portion of whom experienced a surge in faith and became true believers

Therefore, at that time, there are generally divine omens that directly convey messages to the voters

Although it is still less than a bit of divine power, having five hundred thousand points of faith value is quite good for them, as newly emerged divine beings who have just opened their divine realm for less than a year

True believers can provide 0.2 points. Although this is still quite limited, at least the number of fishmen is substantial and they reproduce quickly. Currently, there are 451 true believers, and they can accumulate 90.2 points of faith value for Lin Xiao in a day

To understand beings like them, who have just opened up the divine realm and are not even demigods, the highest level of cards that can be used is the five-star card. Cards above five stars are referred to as demigod cards, while true gods generally use divine cards

Primarily, it is the believers who provide faith value, and it is essential to pray earnestly according to the rituals prescribed by the church in order to maximize the effect. However, it is well known that the nature of the fishmen as a race makes it exceedingly difficult for them to adhere to the prescribed rituals and pray earnestly; this is inherent to their nature and cannot be changed. Therefore, the faith value that Lin Xiao harvests daily can only reach about sixty to seventy percent of the theoretical maximum.

Indeed, underperforming students are not given due attention

Feeling a bit emotional, Lin Xiao gathered his spirits and first consumed 654 units of faith value to issue a divine oracle, which is equivalent to one believer needing to consume one point.

Each student has a limited number of cards available during their high school years, which necessitates the use of advanced cards to maximize their strength

This time, the difficulty of the assessment test will be somewhat higher than in the past, but it is generally within your capacity to handle. Considering that some students do indeed have varying levels of ability at this moment, if you feel unable to pass during the test, you may contact the teacher to withdraw. However, if you choose to withdraw, it will signify the termination of the test, and I will score based on your results prior to the withdrawal.

Lin Xiao noticed that the teacher's gaze was fixed on the top five students in the class who had consistently performed well, while students like him, who ranked in the middle or lower, were overlooked at a glance

A standard human lay believer can provide 0.1 points of faith value each day, while the weak race of fishmen can only provide one-fifth of the faith value that humans can offer

Indeed, once the golden finger is activated, I am about to take off

He shrugged his shoulders and did not respond

Faintly heard the complaints of a certain classmate

According to past testing practices, the teacher will begin the test on the day after the announcement regarding the invasion of the divine realm. Therefore, students can either enter the divine realm immediately to prepare or wait until the next day. However, generally, students choose to enter the divine realm right away to make early preparations

After a brief pause, he took out a stack of slightly thinner cards from his pocket and spread them out, continuing to speak

Wu Hai announced the news with a blank expression, then with a flick of his hand, a stack of cards emitting a faint golden light flew out from his palm and spread out in front of him, saying

The first place in this preliminary test will receive a designated type of five-star card, which will greatly enhance your strength, so students, please... work hard!
