What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 278 University Rankings
I saw an ordinary-looking young man walked in. Not only was he not tall, but there was not even a trace of Dharma on his body.

But no one present dared to look down on him, not only because of the other party's foundation building field, but also because his entire body was wrapped in a layer of bubble-like thing, shining with the brilliance of magic weapon.

The next moment, the other party's voice appeared in everyone's ears: "I am Ji Yuanshu."

Ji Yuanshu: I don’t want to come into contact with the air on the second floor, so I used the Wind-Fixing Beads to isolate myself from the changes in the surrounding airflow. Please don’t get too close to me.

Ji Yuanshu: I can hear you talking, and I can also transmit messages to you directly.

Everyone looked at Ji Yuanshu somewhat at a loss, and finally Gongshu Jin stood up, took the initiative to welcome him, and then introduced each other.

Gongshu Jin frowned inwardly: "Why did the guy from the 6th floor come to the Civil Engineering Department? Tsk, if this happens, he will definitely be the top student in the class."

Ji Yuanshu looked around and thought, "Except for Gongshu Jin, there is no one worth paying attention to. These people and I are no longer in the same field."

"As for Gongshu Jin... In order to avoid unnecessary consumption, I should talk to him."

Looking at Gongshu Jin who was surrounded by the crowd, Ji Yuanshu directly transmitted his voice: "I will transfer to the Finance Department after I get first place in the Foundation Building Class for three full years in the Civil Engineering Department."

Gongshu Jin smiled slightly and nodded when he heard this.

He knew that after the other person left, he would be number one in the class, and he would monopolize the rewards for being number one in the class every year.

As for the first three years...

Gongshu Jin thought: "It's not a bad idea to reduce the three years. At least it guarantees the remaining seven years and can avoid conflicts with the other party."

"Besides, after this guy joins the Finance Department, maybe he can help me a little..."

Three years before Ji Yuanshu and seven years after Gongshu Jin, as soon as the two met, it seemed that the reward for the first place in the foundation-building class for the next ten years had been decided.

As for the other people in the class, they naturally didn't take them seriously.

When Zhang Yu was looking at the sixth-level master, he suddenly found Yu Xinghan patting his shoulder and said in surprise: "Zhang Yu! Look, there is a sixth-level foundation building student coming in!"

Zhang Yu rolled his eyes and whispered, "How long did it take for the delay to happen? Why did you only see it now?"

On the other side, as everyone started chatting again, Li Xiao suggested, "After the class meeting today, let's have dinner together?"

He really wanted to develop relationships with these upper-class students and integrate into their circle.

But Ying Xin just sneered and said, "Wanfa University doesn't have dinner parties."

Gongshu Jin smiled and took out a pill, saying, "In addition to taking medicine every day, I only take the Bigu Pill."

Ji Yuanshu said calmly: "I can control my body's digestive system. I don't need any external assistance and I don't need to eat."

Feeling the teasing gazes from the people around him, Li Xiao blushed slightly. He knew that he had made a fool of himself again, and he hated his identity as a first-level person even more.

At this moment, along with the arrival of a golden elixir field, the teacher of the foundation-building class arrived.

Jindan master Jiao Lei has entered within 10 meters of you. Please remain still to avoid accidental injury.

Just like the foundation-building fields of the previous few people, this Jindan Zhenren also took the initiative to shrink the scope of the Jindan field.

This was a human figure wrapped in electric light. As soon as he appeared in the classroom, his eyes locked onto Ji Yuanshu.

Messages about their friends instantly appeared in their eyes.

Master Jiao Lei: Yuan Shu, long time no see, how is Master?

Ji Yuanshu: Master’s life span has recently increased by another 100 years, and he is in a very good mood.

Through the connection of their eyes, the two of them exchanged greetings without anyone knowing.

Master Jiao Lei then looked at the many students present and said, "I am Master Jiao Lei, your future homeroom teacher."

"There are students here who have been studying for a few years, and there are also freshmen who have just graduated from high school."

"I just treated everyone as freshmen and said everything I needed to say."

"After school starts tomorrow, the next three months will be a unified foundation-building course."

“After the three-month course, you can start choosing your own courses.”

"During the 10 years at school, as long as you complete the credit requirements, you can graduate..."

"But now that you have entered the foundation-building class, I think graduation is only your minimum requirement. Postgraduate entrance exams and certification exams should be your first goals. The first year of foundation-building is the most important year. You can start planning for the future now..."

Zhang Yu listened carefully to what Master Jiao Lei said about credits, course selection and other matters.

Then the other party began to talk about the things to pay attention to when ranking schools.

“The rankings…are a reflection of your academic achievements at school.”

"The ranking is based on the credits and grades of completed courses, as well as extracurricular competitions, projects, and so on."

"Then according to different realms, starting from the most basic... For example, the class ranking of our foundation-building class."

"Next is the ranking of the entire civil engineering department regardless of grade. Starting from here, it is generally the domain of senior students. It will be your turn to compete in a few years."

“Then there is the overall ranking of the School of Architecture and Civil Engineering, and then the university-wide ranking across departments.”

"The rankings are updated every day and finalized at the end of each school year. Then, awards are given to the top-ranked students..."

"Everyone is in their first year of foundation building, so don't worry about the other lists, they are all senior fields, so it mainly depends on the class ranking."

"Every year, if you rank first in your class, you will receive a scholarship of 3 spirit coins and a set of skills."

"The technique is selected from the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering of Wanfa University." Master Jiao Lei said with some pride: "The Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering are the unique techniques of the Civil Engineering Department of Wanfa University. Each of the Seven Wonders is a top-notch expert-level technique."

"And if you master three of them, they can be combined into one, becoming a martial art that is close to military grade."

He said encouragingly, "And if you can master seven in a row and pass the military civil engineering certificate, you will be able to unite the seven energies into one and master the military-grade technique - the Tian Kunlun Mountain Moving Power."

Although Master Jiao Lei's words were encouraging, the students he mainly focused on were only Ji Yuanshu and Gongshu Jin.

He thought that Ji Yuanshu should get all the rewards from the previous three years, and then transfer to another department when he had enough for three-in-one.

On the contrary, Gongshu Jin has a great chance of mastering the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering in the remaining seven years.

"I just don't know if he will be able to pass the military civil engineering exam in the future, and finally unite the seven energies into one..."

In the corner where Master Jiao Lei didn't notice, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up: "This Tian Kunlun Mountain Moving Power... sounds awesome."

Fu Ji said, "But seven years is too long. Won't it delay your transfer to another department? Unless you finish your undergraduate degree in civil engineering and then take the exam for a master's degree in weapon refining."

"And to get this thing, you have to compete with a sixth-level player and a fourth-level player."

Zhang Yu said, "When we come to the top ten, shouldn't we compete with these people?"

He looked at the black symbol on his palm, which had already been half charged, and thought to himself, "Give me some strength, Yushu, don't let my talent down."

Then Master Jiao Lei talked about some routine matters that should be paid attention to in the university town.

“…Whether you know it or not, I have to reiterate that planting is strictly prohibited in the university town.”

"In the past, some students secretly practiced soilless cultivation in their dormitories and were expelled directly. They were stripped of their university qualifications forever, no matter how much spiritual coins they paid."

"So don't let me find any leaves in your dormitory. No one can protect you if I find out."

"Also, if you eat cement with medicine to save money, remember to eat it when your stomach is too full. If you feel your stomach is burdened, vomit it out. Eating a piece of cement and vomiting it out like this can maintain your stomach for a month. Don't just eat it without vomiting, or you will end up vomiting cement and hurt yourself internally."

"Don't laugh. Do you think there's no one who has gone bankrupt by hauling cement? Even though you're Qi Refiners from the first level, even though you've already established your foundation, you should take this as a warning and not make such a fool of yourself."

After explaining all the precautions, Master Jiao Lei said, "By the way, the scholarship for high school students who are building their foundation will be credited to your account today or tomorrow. In addition, there is another reward..."

Zhang Yu's heart moved. The admission conditions he discussed with the representative of Wanfa University included a scholarship of 2.5 spirit coins.

Master Jiao Lei called out several names, including Ji Yuanshu, Gongshu Jin, Ying Xin, Li Xiao, and Yu Xinghan.

The five of them plus Zhang Yu are all the high school foundation-building students in this foundation-building class.

I only heard Master Jiao Lei say: "You all passed the foundation-building exam in high school. You can enjoy discounts on your skills in the foundation-building class. Basic skills are 4% off, advanced skills are 6% off, and expert skills are 8% off."

"Then there is... Zhang Yu."

Master Jiao Lei only reported this one name: "You are very good. You took the foundation building exam in your first year of high school, and obtained the foundation building qualification certificate in your second year of high school. You are the only one who succeeded in the foundation building exam for the first time in high school."

"If you go to the library to exchange for skills, basic skills are 2% off, advanced skills are 4% off, and expert skills are 6% off."

Zhang Yu was delighted to hear this, thinking that his foundation building exam was not in vain.

After all, all the foundation-building techniques at Wanfa University are sold with spirit coins, so every 10% discount is a huge savings.

After hearing what Master Jiao Lei said, all the students present looked at Zhang Yu with a hint of surprise on their faces.

Even Gongshu Jin, who originally didn't take Zhang Yu seriously, raised his eyebrows: "He got the foundation-building qualification certificate in his second year of high school? Does that mean he beat the students in his third year of high school when he was a second year of high school?"

"But judging from his basic data, he doesn't show the advantage of building his foundation a year earlier than me... Is it because the cultivation conditions on the first floor are too poor?"

"Then it seems that buying his life should be quite cheap."

The first level of people... in Gongshu Jin's impression, are people who can make others grateful and fight for him by just spending some spirit coins.

Ji Yuanshu on the other side also looked at Zhang Yu carefully this time. His eyes swept over the other's body and the model of Shican Demon Eye emerged.

"He actually built his foundation a year earlier than me, but his basic data is about 30% lower than mine."

"Does this mean that he lacks the necessary training conditions, yet he is equipped with a top-notch eye skeleton?"

"What a strange guy."

Thinking of this, Ji Yuanshu searched for Zhang Yu's information in the spiritual world network, and after a while he found a historical record of a product being taken off the shelves on an Oasis Group shopping platform.

Then Master Jiao Lei pointed at Ji Yuanshu and said, "Ji Yuanshu, you will be the squad leader from now on. Create a group and add everyone to it."

Master Jiao Lei thought to himself, "Ji Yuanshu is a sixth-level person after all. He is steady and reliable, and can convince the public. He is not as unreliable as the first and second-level people."

Then he added: "There will be no more class meetings in the future. Any problems will be solved in the spiritual world network."

After saying this, Master Jiao Lei turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared into the air. He came and went in a hurry, and in total he only spoke to the students for more than ten minutes.

After the teacher left, the students present were pulled into the group created by Ji Yuanshu.

Gongshu Jin suddenly seemed to remember something, turned to look at Li Xiao, and asked, "You are from the first floor, right? Are you familiar with Zhang Yu? He should be quite famous among you, right?"

Seeing Gongshu Jin seem to be very interested in Zhang Yu, Li Xiao felt a little jealous and said quickly: "He is from a small place, and he is indeed very famous in our place because he beat up his boss, who gave him hundreds of millions of funds..."

Li Xiao exaggerated the story of Wang Yin, and Gongshu Jin frowned slightly and said, "Is it impossible to tame him?"

Li Xiao quickly added, "The battle between Wang Yin and him was broadcast live to the upper echelons. You may be able to find it if you check."
