The Age of Gods: My Entry is Updated Daily

Lu Shenggang looked up and saw his name ranked third on the leaderboard.

"Third place? That's much higher than I expected. Apart from Nangong Wenxue, I've left all the other elite students from Linhai No. 1 High School far behind. Even Hong Chi, the top genius from Linhai No. 8 High School, is only one point ahead of me..."

Lu Sheng suddenly realized that he might have overestimated the students in the elite classes. They had caught up with him in just three months, so it didn't seem like such a big deal.

But when he looked away from the leaderboard and around, he was startled.

At this moment, countless eyes were fixed on Lu Sheng in the stadium, some surprised, some puzzled, some curious—a variety of expressions.

For them, Nangong Wenxue's victory in the Four Schools Competition was beyond doubt, and Hong Chi, as a direct descendant of a powerful faction and possessing A-level talent, was also understandable in achieving second place, but...

Lu Sheng?

A regular student with C-level talent?

Their talent wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly outstanding either. Yet, they were able to crush a group of A and B-level talents among the descendants of gods in this competition. They were very curious about how they managed to do it.

"How is this possible? How is this possible?" In a corner of the venue, Li Yang stared blankly at the name on the stage, unable to accept the result.

Although he outwardly disregarded Lu Sheng as his rival in class, only he knew how much effort he had put in over the past two months to surpass him in this competition.

For the past two months, whenever he had time, he would immerse himself in the small world, constantly observing the development of the divine kingdom, promptly identifying and addressing any shortcomings, and investing all resources into improving the strength of his people.

In order to maximize the strength of his subjects, he was even willing to sacrifice the lives of some elderly dragonmen, just to increase the effectiveness of some A-grade buildings [Dragon Blood Pool] and purify the dragonmen's bloodline.

Furthermore, he didn't sell any of the resources produced by the two A-level buildings he obtained from signing an S-level divine contract with the Nangong family; he used them all within his divine kingdom.

In the war of the divine kingdom, he fought so hard that he wiped out 30,000 elite dragonmen, barely managing to reach the 37th position.

But what about Lu Sheng?

What gives him the right?

Li Yang felt no jealousy or hatred. He just couldn't understand why, despite his best efforts, he still couldn't catch up with that man.

"No, I haven't lost yet. I have S-level talent and the Nangong family's investment... College entrance exam, college entrance exam! When the college entrance exam comes, I will definitely surpass you!" Li Yang gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the strong emotions surging in his heart.

With this thought in mind, his fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.

It's just a temporary setback. His [Qi Sea Martial Body] is pure combat talent, and the increase in strength will be greater in the later stages. He will definitely catch up again when the college entrance examination comes!

"Lu Sheng, you've really given your teacher a huge surprise!" Su Wan'er walked over and said with a big smile.

Lu Sheng smiled slightly: "Just lucky."

"Your strength is evident to all. Being able to train such a powerful army in three months is not something that can be achieved by luck alone."

There was definitely an element of luck in the previous monthly exams, but in this four-school competition, all the students gave it their all. Under these circumstances, Lu Sheng's ability to break into the top three is truly a testament to his genuine strength.

Su Wan'er smiled indulgently at the modest student and changed the subject: "By the way, Lu, you conquered the alien divine kingdom. Have you absorbed the core of that divine kingdom yet?"

Lu Sheng nodded: "I've already absorbed it. My small world has grown considerably, and many new landforms have appeared. I'll have to replan my small world when I get back..."

At this point, Lu Sheng couldn't help but look worried again.

Planning a small world is no simple task; it involves many factors, including calculating new species to be introduced, planning the development direction of the divine kingdom based on one's own conditions, the activity range of one's subjects and followers, and specialized development, among others...

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Perhaps sensing what was troubling Lu Sheng, Su Wan'er offered a suggestion: "Lu, you came in third place in the competition this time. In addition to an A-grade building and an S-grade spiritual plant, the school's reward is also 1 billion faith points. If you don't want to waste time on planning, or if you're worried about not planning well, you can try to hire a planner to help you plan the specific development direction of your small world in the future."

"Planner?"

Su Wan'er nodded seriously: "The so-called planner is a god who is specifically responsible for planning the development of other people's small world. Every planner is knowledgeable and has a wealth of planning experience. They can help you make the most of existing resources, fill in the gaps, and avoid many detours."

"How much will it cost?" Lu Sheng was more concerned about this question.

Even if planning is necessary, it must be based on resources. If hiring a planner requires emptying his entire fortune, then he should just do the planning himself.

"The price of planners is mostly based on their own divine rank and the size and terrain of the small world to be planned, but the cheapest ones start at 30 to 40 million faith points."

"Moreover, this process also carries certain risks."

"If you want a planner to plan for you to the fullest extent, you have to let them enter your divine realm to take a look, and the coordinates of your divine realm will naturally be known to them."

"Of course, the Ministry of Education also has planners who take on jobs. As official deities, each of them has signed the strictest divine contracts, which prohibit them from revealing the client's divine kingdom coordinates in any form under any circumstances, thus completely eliminating security risks. However, the price will be several times higher, which is not cost-effective for you," Su Wan'er patiently explained.

A divine contract, which is similar to a vow made by the Heavenly Dao, can severely deplete a god's vital energy, even posing a risk of his ordeal, even if it is the most ordinary one.

The divine contract signed by officials of the Ministry of Education is bound by even higher rules. Any thought of breaching the contract will be immediately countered by the rules and directly eliminated.

Therefore, even those who don't have much money will mostly choose planners officially appointed by the Ministry of Education.

"Thirty or forty million..." Lu Sheng stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Even if he hired the official planner from the Education Bureau, it would only cost one or two hundred million. Although it was expensive, it was still acceptable for him at the moment.

After all, before the competition, he could earn more than 700 million faith points a month by cultivating the Stone Milk Bamboo and Ice Flower with the [Growth of All Things] technique.

With the world's land area now expanding dramatically, once he expands his planting area again, it's not a dream for his monthly income to exceed one billion faith points!

However, Lu Sheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration. As a teacher and a demigod, Su Wan'er should have some knowledge of small world planning, right?

If Su Wan'er could help him plan, wouldn't that save him hundreds of millions of faith points?

So he mustered up the courage to ask, "Professor Su, I'm really short on funds. Could you perhaps help me with some planning?"
