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

Chapter 295 Construction Site
Interrupted by Li Xiao's shout, Zhang Yu stopped gazing at the starry sky and looked at the construction site in front of him.

A quick glance revealed that the entire 666th floor resembled a construction site, with roads and buildings under construction everywhere, and a constant stream of vibrations and explosions.

Zhang Yu asked with some surprise, "Is the entire 666th floor being used for construction?"

Yu Xinghan had already inquired about this and knew something about it. Upon hearing this, he explained, "Wanfa University City wasn't originally 666 stories high."

"Instead, with the expansion of the population and with each urban redevelopment plan, Wanfa University City is constantly building new floors every year."

“Previously, floors below 50 were considered the mortal zone, but now it has risen to floors below 100.”

"The teaching floors for departments like finance and civil engineering, as well as the student dormitories, will also continue to move upwards."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "Doesn't this mean there's always a huge demand for construction work throughout the Wanfa University City? Civil engineering is indeed a good major for finding a job."

Just then, Tu Lishan led three students to Zhang Yu and his two companions.

Tu Lishan greeted them with a smile and then began to assign tasks for the construction site.

Zhang Yu and two others worked with the construction team, while Ying Xin and two others participated in quality inspection internships.

Li Xiao looked at Ying Xin and the others behind Tu Lishan in surprise, thinking to himself, "Ying Xin came to the construction site too? Why didn't they mention this to me?"

Tu Lishan continued, "The six of you will be a training group from now on, and Ying Xin will be the group leader for now..."

After giving a few more instructions, Tu Lishan led everyone through a series of procedures, including registration and onboarding.

Along the way, Tulishan's vision flashed, and he saw a message sent by Li Xiao.

Li Xiao: Teacher, weren't there limited spots? Why are there so many students here?

Tulishan: Xiao Li, Zhang Yu's grades are better than yours, so it's reasonable for him to come in, right?
Tu Lishan: Not to mention Ying Xin, her family has been civil engineers for six generations. She is a prodigy who grew up on construction sites and has an elder who is a Golden Core cultivator.

Tu Lishan: Moreover, he himself is excellent. After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in high school, he began to practice various earth and wood cultivation techniques. As you know, he is now ranked third in the class.

According to Tu Lishan's explanation, these students either had better grades than Li Xiao or had elders in their families who worked in the civil engineering field, giving them an advantage that Li Xiao could not match.

The more Li Xiao listened, the more he felt the gap between himself and the other students, and his mood became increasingly depressed.

But suddenly, he thought of someone...

Li Xiao: What about Yu Xinghan? He came from the first floor, right? His grades aren't as good as mine...

Tulishan: He also knows people and has spent a lot of money.

Tu Lishan: Compared to Yu Xinghan, the spirit coins you gave me are much less.

Tulishan: I gave you this opportunity because I think highly of you. But just keep the details to yourself and don't tell anyone else the amount, or it will make things difficult for me later.

Tu Lishan: Keep up the good work. As long as we in the Civil Engineering department are willing to work hard, we'll earn an endless amount of spirit coins.

Looking at the message from Teacher Tu, Li Xiao thought to himself, "I must seize this opportunity, work hard, earn more spirit coins, pay off my loan, and strive to improve my grades."

After completing the onboarding process, a projection of the spirit world appeared above the heads of the six people, adding a layer of radiance.

A layer of red light shone above the heads of Yingxin and the other two, signifying their status as quality inspectors.

Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan, and Li Xiao had a layer of blue light above their heads, representing their status as skilled workers.

Tu Lishan looked at the students and instructed them: "Once you enter the construction site, the color of your clothes represents your status."

"Gold and silver are leaders. You must not be disrespectful in the slightest when you see them. You should also be careful to control your size. It is best not to become bigger than the leaders. Also, remember to hide your Foundation Establishment Domain."

"You already know about the red and blue ones. The yellow ones are the most ordinary Qi Refining laborers. If you kill or injure them, you'll have to pay compensation. Remember to be careful when you're working."

Just then, a Qi Refining laborer passed by. Tu Lishan pointed to the number above the man's head and said, "See that? According to the latest construction site safety regulations, each Qi Refining laborer has a compensation price marked above their head. Since we started using this method, the number of casualties on the construction site has been greatly reduced."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Damn it... So the main casualties on the construction site come from the foundation workers? It's not that we're being told to be careful and not get injured, it's that we're being told to be careful and not hurt anyone, right?"

Just then, a voice came: "Manager Tu, you're here."

Zhang Yu looked over upon hearing the sound and discovered that it came from a puppet of a Yellow Turban warrior.

Tulishan nodded to the other party without responding, and the puppet of the Yellow Turban Warrior had already carried a large pile of steel away quickly.

Yu Xinghan asked curiously, "Does that Yellow Turban Warrior have sentience? Is there a spirit inside it?"

Upon hearing this, Tu Lishan laughed and said, "How could that be? Don't you know how expensive a high-level artifact spirit is? This Yellow Turban Warrior is just a Taoist's soul inside."

Tu Lishan then explained, "This man is named Huang Yun, and he is a college graduate who just graduated this year."

"He rented a Yellow Turban Warrior, poured his soul into it, and used it to work on the construction site."

Yu Xinghan asked, "Then what about his physical body?"

Tu Lishan said, "They rented it out to the pharmacology department for drug testing." Zhang Yu was also shocked upon hearing this: "The physical body was used for drug testing? The soul is used for construction work?"

Tu Lishan sensed the surprise in Zhang Yu's tone and exclaimed, "Yes, it's really impressive to be able to find two jobs right after graduation."

"Although your level of understanding is higher than Huang Yun's, you should also learn more about his fighting spirit."

"The construction site has facilities for renting out mortars, which can improve your work efficiency."

"It's okay if you don't have enough money, we offer preferential rates for work loans here."

Seeing the meaningful look in Tulishan's eyes, Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan immediately turned their heads away, pretending not to see it.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Damn it, I haven't even made any money yet and they're already trying to get me to take out a loan..."

Yu Xinghan thought to herself, "My senior sister said that a college student's first job loan is very important, so we can't make a decision lightly."

Behind the two, Li Xiao thought to himself, "Is Teacher Tu hinting at something? When I have time... I should go and see what kind of magical remains are on the construction site."

Tu Lishan continued, "By the way, there are surveillance cameras everywhere on the construction site. Don't take any materials from the ground. If you get caught stealing materials... the fines will be huge."

Zhang Yu nodded secretly upon hearing this, thinking to himself that there were indeed surveillance cameras everywhere on the construction site, so it wouldn't be easy to find some materials here.

After giving a brief overview of the construction site, Tu Lishan pointed to his eyes and said, "You should now be able to see your work through the spirit world network."

"After you join the company, all the tasks on the construction site will be issued directly through the spirit world network. You just need to follow along."

"Salaries will also be settled through this platform."

"Alright everyone, let's get to work! As long as you're willing to work your butt off, there's plenty of money waiting for you in the Civil Engineering department."

After Tulishan left, Zhang Yu looked at his eyeball and found a line of words written on it.

Today's task: Pouring concrete
Salary received: 0 Spirit Coins
Please arrive at your work location immediately. Countdown: 23 seconds.

Zhang Yu also saw dotted lines projected from the spirit world, guiding him to his specific work location.

As he watched the countdown tick away, Zhang Yu flashed forward and followed the dotted line he saw in his vision to a concrete mixing tower.

Standing at the soil receiving point, Zhang Yu gently received the more than ten tons of concrete as he circulated his concrete-reinforcing energy.

The next line of text appeared in his eyes: Please proceed to the pouring location immediately, countdown 15 seconds.

Enveloped in a powerful aura, the concrete resembled a giant, dark gray dragon, following Zhang Yu as he raced forward, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the pouring site.

Following what he had learned in class, Zhang Yu used his internal energy to vibrate and pound the concrete, releasing the air bubbles, and then injected them into the template in front of him.

At the same time, the array diagrams around him also appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes.

Zhang Yu recalled the content of the engineering formation drawing class and thought to himself, "Pay attention to the location of the spiritual energy pathways marked on the formation diagram. These are reserved for the formation nodes."

"Only by forming a spiritual pathway within the building, becoming part of the Great Array of the City of Ten Thousand Laws, can it conveniently enhance its functions such as load-bearing, reinforcement, magnetic field, anti-gravity, air circulation, and temperature regulation..."

As Zhang Yu continued to pour in the concrete, which he controlled with his inner energy, it cascaded down like a waterfall, and the numbers on his eyeballs gradually changed.

Today's task: Pouring concrete
Salary received: 0.000001 Spirit Coins
Salary received: 0.000002 Spirit Coins
Salary received: 0.000003 Spirit Coins
As the concrete began to be poured, the spirit coins continued to increase with the continuous pouring of concrete. Although it was only a small increase of so many zeros after the decimal point, Zhang Yu still felt a surge of joy.

"Finally, I've made money."

This was the first time Zhang Yu had earned a salary through his own abilities during his university years, which made him feel that he was no longer a rootless duckweed and that he finally felt a little more at ease.

As Zhang Yu continued to vibrate the concrete with his qi, he thought to himself, "This process... seems perfect for practicing a martial art."

His eyes flashed, and the Great Library appeared. Then, under his control, he quickly switched to a cultivation technique that he had collected for a long time.

Foundation Establishment Stage Expert-Level Cultivation Technique - Wuji Zhenchan

This is a martial art that tempers the body through vibrations of the body and internal energy, and can unleash astonishing destructive power through high-frequency vibrations in actual combat.

However, it is now widely used in the civil engineering industry for various vibration-related tasks.

Just like Zhang Yu's current vibration of concrete, this Wuji Zhenchan technique can be used to accomplish it.

"Since I'm about to cultivate the third technique, the Earth and Wood Sacred Body, I'll cultivate this Limitless Tremor Zen."

Zhang Yu snapped up the Wuji Zhenchan, originally priced at 0.8 spirit coins, for 0.48 spirit coins after a 6% discount.

After briefly glancing through the electronic version of the manual, Zhang Yu circulated his internal energy, controlling his physical body and internal energy to gradually vibrate.

A moment later... Limitless Zen Level 1
