The medal glimmering with a red bronze hue solidified in Ma Ran’s vision—[Xuan’s Faith Network].

With a slight focus of attention, Ma Ran understood all the abilities of this medal clearly.

In general, the feedback from the [Role-playing] ability brought forth a medal that materialized part of the powers associated with the "Game Main God" in the minds of the global Main God Game players and audience.

It consumes the Power of Faith to bestow corresponding mystical divine techniques upon the "Believers".

Indeed.

Using the term "divine technique" is more accurate.

[Game Divine Skill]—composed of a data panel with three major elements: Level, Skills, Attributes, along with an upgrade path through gaining experience points by defeating monsters.

The character level corresponds to the recently unified extraordinary power tier levels in China, whether they are Superpower Users, Burning Martial Cultivators, Genetic Tinkerers, or Mecha Pilots, reaching VIP3 allows them to clearly see their corresponding tier and current upgrade progress through the data panel bestowed by Xuan.

Of course, the [Prophet Card Testing System] Ma Ran created earlier can also serve the same purpose.

The peculiarity of the [Game Divine Skill] lies in the aspect of gaining experience points from defeating monsters.

The experience points gained from defeating monsters also serve the role of "skill points".

They can be directly used to enhance one’s own Power, Agility, and Endurance, strengthen Burning Martial cultivation, improve control over superpowers, refine genetic defects, and can even be used to enhance mecha driving skills; simply put, they have numerous applications.

In terms of players, roughly one experience point is equivalent to a day’s worth of effort.

If any underachiever with too much time and sufficient experience points in hand desires, they could even dump experience points into cultural subjects like [Chinese], [Mathematics], [English], and forcibly turn themselves into a top student.

Of course, such a foolish endeavor is unlikely to be pursued by anyone.

If there truly were so many experience points, pouring them all into Burning Martial cultivation would at least guarantee admission to Tsinghua and Peking University, if not more; advancing into the academic societies of various provinces is certainly possible.

In the Main God Game, players who reach VIP Level 3 are roughly equivalent to the devout believers in the eyes of other deities.

Perhaps these players are not so devout to the individual named "Game Main God Xuan", but their loyalty and obsession with the game enable Ma Ran to gain a substantial amount of Power of Faith every day.

To this day, players across various countries worldwide are acutely aware that the VIP level in the Main God Game doesn’t just go up indefinitely; means must be found daily to maintain it, otherwise the VIP level may drop.

Not long ago, the Main God Game section of the Earth Super Forum was filled with players lamenting how their hard-earned VIP levels dropped again.

Things have improved significantly now.

People have discovered that Xuan doesn’t require respect and admiration; as long as they maintain a continuous focus on the Main God Game in their daily lives, their VIP level can remain stable, or even rise another step.

While devout believers are hard to find, the number of game enthusiasts is vast, and with Earth’s large population base, the number of V3 players in the Main God Game broke ten thousand in just a few days.

This rapid increase also caused Ma Ran’s stock of Fruits of Faith to soar in a short amount of time.

Simultaneously, many slaughterhouses providing "experiential services" have become bustling with business.

...

Guangyu Academy.

In the dormitory.

"Father, you and Aunt Qiangwei will be returning to the Grass Hut Academy tomorrow. Do you need to make any arrangements in advance?"

The voice of the Super Data Lifeform [Hong] rang in Ma Ran’s ear.

"No need."

Ma Ran shook his head: "The academy will handle these matters."

Clearly a single noble, yet constantly being called father by a data lifeform. Initially, Ma Ran was not used to it, but over time, he accepted it without correction.

Collecting his thoughts, Ma Ran spoke calmly: "Hong, for the time being, you just need to handle the players of the Main God Game. They are a crucial part of my plan, and I trust you will manage them well."

In the Extraordinary Era, what is most precious?

Talent!

Undoubtedly, [Hong] is the most precious and rare top-tier talent!

Though he’s not human and lacks a human body, he’s certainly helped Ma Ran alleviate a great deal of pressure and tedious tasks.

Showing prowess publicly, controlling trends behind the scenes, and pushing developments is easy to say but hard to do.

Without omniscience and omnipotence, no one can meticulously control everything.

At least for now, Ma Ran can’t.

He generally entrusts public affairs to Jiang Tai. For tasks unsuitable for academic society members to handle, Ma Ran mostly hands them off to [Hong], and thus far, [Hong] has never let him down.

The life created by the Demon Child Medal, though less potent in developmental potential compared to natural life forms, will execute any order issued by Ma Ran without reservations and devoid of personal emotions or thoughts.

With the assistance of Hong and numerous Inner Qi and Star Power lifeforms, the image of the [Game Main God Xuan] has been firmly established in the hearts of Earthlings. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Moreover, they help Ma Ran preserve a significant amount of Power of Faith!

Unlike other deities, who, despite constructing a divine technique network and possessing a fixed Faith Ranch, need to consume substantial Divine Power daily to maintain the connection with believers and ensure the existence of the Divine Technique network, as well as respond and fulfill devotees’ prayers; otherwise, it risks losing believers.

Ma Ran does not need to worry about this issue.

The functions of the divine technique network are fixed by the medal.

And [Hong] will monitor global players’ reactions and respond promptly.

This allows for a 90% saving in daily Power of Faith expenses.

As for...

What use is the accumulated Power of Faith, apart from locking onto enemy positions?

A simple answer—a sentence: through the [Xuan’s Faith Network] medal, Power of Faith can be proportionally converted into experience points!

Ma Ran possesses [Role-playing], as long as the script is well-written and the acting is competent, he rarely needs this.

But he can use surplus experience points on 98725 and his comrades, swiftly strengthening his team.

...

Three days have passed.

The privileges held by the V3 players of the Main God Game have already become widely known.

Many V3 players, by earning experience points through killing, have swiftly improved their real-world strength and also mastered several skills they deem useful.

Furthermore, this has caused some minor troubles.

Some lawless outlaws, after killing numerous artificially bred animals like chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle, fish, and sheep, have turned their gaze to their own kind.
