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

Chapter 309 Mortality and Morbidity Rates

A large area of ​​ruins was cleared away, the ground was leveled again, and then, with the help of many Foundation Establishment cultivators, a series of simple houses were built.

Zhang Yu was assigned to a six-person room. As soon as he carried his luggage in, he saw the white-haired student named Che Yufei and a demon student with a full mane.

Upon seeing Zhang Yu's appearance, Che Yufei smiled and said, "A freshman? I'm Che Yufei, a sixth-year student."

He then pointed to the demonic offspring beside him and said, "This is Shi Yunxiang, a senior."

As he spoke, Che Yufei shoved a handful of Dao Heart Buffer Capsules in front of Zhang Yu: "Want some?"

Zhang Yu shook his head and smiled, "This is too addictive; I don't really like it."

Despite having an incredibly high tolerance for medication, Zhang Yu rarely takes drugs that help to calm his mind.

Che Yufei was slightly taken aback and gave Zhang Yu a strange look, seemingly not expecting that a college student, especially a civil engineering student, would not eat this.

Shi Yunxiang, who was standing next to Che Yufei, grabbed the buffer capsule from Che's hand and swallowed it. He then gave him some advice in a tone of someone who had been through it all: "Kid, when I was a freshman, I felt just like you, thinking that I had suffered so much in high school that I wouldn't be afraid of anything in the future."

“Heh…” He chuckled coldly, feeling the buffer capsule stimulating his brain, and said with a sense of satisfaction, “But once the project officially starts, you’ll understand that all the hardships and exhaustion you experienced in high school are nothing compared to what you went through in college.”

"I really can't get through this without eating some of this stuff."

Zhang Yu did not refute or argue, after all, Shi Yunxiang meant well in giving him advice, but Zhang Yu really did not like taking Dao Heart Buffering Drugs.

Seeing Zhang Yu's attitude, Che Yufei and Shi Yunxiang didn't say much. In their opinion, it wouldn't be long before the other party was exhausted to the point of ecstasy, and he might even need more Dao Heart Buffering Drugs than they did.

Next, all the other students in the six-person room arrived one by one. Zhang Yu observed them and found that Che Yufei, a sixth-year student, was the oldest one.

Four of them were from the second floor, only Zhang Yu was from the first floor, and there was another student from the third floor.

After introducing themselves, the group did not engage in further conversation. Each person either studied, practiced breathing exercises, or went outside to cultivate their skills.

After circling around outside, Zhang Yu asked with some doubt, "Isn't there a toilet here?"

Che Yufei glanced at him with a smile, thinking to himself that he was indeed a delicate freshman: "You didn't modify yourself? You didn't install the Dharma Body? But it's okay..."

He pointed outside and said, "Aren't there toilets everywhere on the construction site? Find a secluded spot outside and go wherever you want."

After a period of rest, everyone enjoyed their first dinner at the construction site.

Zhang Yu looked at the list of drugs that appeared in his eyes. Each drug had a detailed description of its effects and side effects, and the parts of the body affected by the side effects were displayed on the human model next to him.

The Burning Heart Pill can improve the speed of blood and qi accumulation and enhance muscle training, but its side effect is increased heart load. Long-term use can easily lead to cardiovascular diseases. A large area of ​​red is marked on the human model next to it, indicating the heart position.

The Yin Sha Corrupting Marrow Pill, which increases magical power and coldness, can destroy bones and erode marrow. Long-term use can easily cause anemia, fever, or even leukemia.

There is also the Muscle-Corroding Powder, which tears and reshapes meridians and increases the flow of mana, but it will put pressure on the liver and cause bacterial and viral infections in the body.

Zhang Yu also discovered that every time he selected a medication, the numbers under the human body would change.

The probability of sudden death is 0.06%.
The probability of leukemia is 0.012%.
Sepsis 0.034%
Zhang Yu understood; this was based on the medication he ordered, calculating the risks he would face after taking it.

Every day thereafter, as he took more medication, the probability of various diseases and death would continue to increase.

Through Zhang Yu's physical body, Fu Ji also saw the interface for selecting medicines and remarked, "You've thought this through quite thoroughly. You're telling me not to focus on harming one part of the body, but to squeeze out as much as possible evenly so that I can live longer."

"The Civil Engineering Department is quite humane; this one service alone greatly extends the lifespan of students."

After Zhang Yu selected a five-item medicine set meal, the medicine and meal were delivered after a short wait.

Seeing Zhang Yu eat so much at once, Che Yufei couldn't help but say, "Freshman, take it easy."

Zhang Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I'm pretty good at taking medicine."

Che Yufei shook his head dismissively. Which student who could get into Wanfa University could have poor medication?

He thought to himself that once Zhang Yu went to the infirmary, he would learn his lesson.

Zhang Yu first switched the Chain Magic Diagram set to the University Sacred Body, then swallowed the medicine. He felt waves of scalding medicinal power spreading from his lower abdomen, surging towards his limbs and bones, crashing against his internal organs, muscles, and bones like a raging torrent.

Feeling his body burning hot, Zhang Yu felt as if a ball of fire was about to burst out of his chest.

He thought to himself, "What a potent drug."

Zhang Yu immediately went outside the room and began practicing the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen to digest the effects of the medicine.

He also discovered that many students in the poor classes began a period of spiritual practice after taking their medicine.

As Zhang Yu practiced the endless Zen of spring and autumn, he felt the medicinal power surging through his body. Under the catalysis of this medicinal power, his muscles and bones showed signs of growth and development.

At the same time, Zhang Yu could feel his heart pounding violently, and minor damage appearing in different parts of his internal organs.

He immediately focused all his energy on circulating the "Remnant Ox Shelter Body and Mind Technique" in his mind, constantly revitalizing his body to heal himself and counteract the side effects of the medicine.

While Zhang Yu and Che Yufei were digesting their dinner, Gongshu Jin was also having his first dinner at the construction site.

However, it was different from the various drugs that Zhang Yu and the others took, which had the potential to be stimulated and had huge side effects.

The medicines that Gongshu Jin and his seniors were taking at this moment had not only been filtered by multiple people, resulting in very few side effects, but each one was also tailor-made according to their physical condition and cultivation method, protecting their bodies like precious treasures and accumulating their potential, all for the sake of a late-blooming breakthrough.

Of course, this one-on-one medication service is also very expensive.

Gongshu Jin looked out the window at Zhang Yu and the others who were practicing body tempering, as if he were looking at a bottle that clearly had no water, but was being squeezed repeatedly, trying to squeeze out a little water from it.

"The potential is insufficient, which is why such stimulation is needed to squeeze out even a little bit of it through all sorts of means."

Feeling his body naturally strengthened under the influence of the drug, Gongshu Jin thought to himself, "With enough potential, even if I do nothing... my potential will slowly overflow."

……

After dinner, a surge of divine power mixed with spiritual energy swept across the entire construction site.

Fuki's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "The spirit world network is now set up."

Zhang Yu's eyes flashed as he received a notification from Tulishan that the network had been restored.

Then, following the construction site's work schedule, everyone began their online classes for the day.

With the connection to the spirit world network, Zhang Yu was overjoyed, realizing that the construction site in the secret passage could indeed connect to the internet.

But the next moment, seeing the tenfold increase in internet charges, he cursed inwardly, "This is way too expensive!"

Zhang Yu quickly sent messages to Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Pianpian to let them know he was safe, then asked Yu Xinghan for his class notes and online course materials, and finally shut down the spirit world network.

The so-called online course materials are actually just the course videos from today's daytime classes.

Zhang Yu and the others were required to watch the entire day's lessons at 10x speed so that they could make the most of their time to continue their training and work at the construction site.

Watching the teachers speaking rapidly in the video and seeing their figures flashing by at high speed, Zhang Yu studied and absorbed the knowledge while thinking to himself, "This... seems pretty good. It can save me a lot of class time."

"But did Yu Xinghan send me the wrong video? This is a video of him recording a class, right?"

Watching the class video recorded by Yu Xinghan using his magical artifact, Zhang Yu couldn't help but curse, "This guy... why does he always record Ying Xin? I want to see the teacher!"

……

As Yu Xinghan watched the changes in the number of views for her short videos, she thought to herself, "Is it always the videos featuring Ying Xin that get the most views?"

He suggested, "How about we take some photos of massage parlors next time?"

……

Just as Zhang Yu, Che Yufei, and the others finished their online classes quickly and were preparing to start working.

Gongshu Jin's course has only just begun.

Because their daily workload was not as heavy as Zhang Yu's and the others, Gongshu Jin and his group had more time to attend classes.

At this moment, Gongshu Jin's consciousness had already arrived in the depths of the spirit world to receive guidance from his teachers.

After paying more, he could not only receive one-on-one guidance from the teachers, but the spirit world classroom in front of him had a simulation level of over 99%, making Gongshu Jin feel as if he were receiving guidance from the teachers face-to-face in reality.

As Gongshu Jin continued to add money, the operation of the entire teaching space began to accelerate, first to 2 times, then 4 times, and finally, as Gongshu Jin's consciousness gradually adapted to the operation, it increased all the way to 10 times.

This means that in the consciousness space of the spirit world, he has ten times more time to learn than in the material world.

Gongshu Jin was used to this; as long as you have money, you can speed up time, and you can buy time.

……

On the ruins, the students from the poor class had already begun their first night's work—continuing to clear the rubble.

According to the plan, they need to clear the entire factory site within half a month to prepare for the construction of the new factory.

Tu Lishan's reminder surfaced in Zhang Yu's eyes: This place used to be a puppet factory established by Shanhe University. After being attacked by several criminals at the Golden Core stage, all production lines were destroyed.

Tulishan: Although some time has passed, there may still be residual Golden Core realm magic power within the arena.
Tulishan: In addition, the protective formations and feng shui formations of the puppet factory itself may also be partially effective.

Tulishan: Also, in the process of making the puppets, some heavily polluting materials are used, which require extreme caution in handling...

Zhang Yu took a deep breath, circulated his internal magic power once, and unleashed the Mountain True Form Technique, causing his body to swell slightly.

He walked cautiously through the ruins, channeling his inner energy to shatter the remaining fragments and clear them away.
