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

Chapter 395 Zhang Yu's Victory

Within the spirit realm.

As the match time expired, the final results of all five matches were determined.

The most unexpected result for the many teachers present was naturally the outcome between Zhang Yu's team and Su Yanyang's team.

It could even be said that Zhang Yu and his team had been surprising many teachers present ever since they defeated Ma Xuan's group.

Jiao Lei Zhenren looked at Zhang Yu, Gongshu Jin, Ying Xin, and Yu Xinghan from his class, who had achieved a top 7 ranking in the Civil Engineering Department's competition in their sophomore year, and thought to himself that his prize money this year would be substantial.

But as soon as a smile appeared on his lips, he glanced at Director Lin, who stood to the side with an indifferent expression and remained silent, and immediately suppressed his smile.

On the other side, Tu Lishan had no such concerns and laughed, saying, "It seems that no matter how much money Su Yanyang throws at it or how fancy the smart buildings are, it's not as practical as Zhang Yu and Shi Huaiyu doing their jobs honestly."

Tu Lishan was clearly pleased that his disciple Shi Huaiyu had achieved seventh place.

Originally, after this disciple went bankrupt in the stock market, he thought that the other party lacked the affinity for immortality and had limited future potential. He also thought that the resources he had invested in the other party would not yield much return. But now it seems that things have turned around.

"However, we really can't lend Huaiyu any more money for stock or cryptocurrency trading in the future."

Recalling Shi Huaiyu's two instances of exploding her kidneys during the competition, Tu Lishan thought to himself, "I originally thought that after suffering so many losses, she would be able to change her impulsive personality, but now it seems that this problem will not be changed in a short time."

Wolf Friend remarked with feeling, "I feel that Zhang Yu made another subtle breakthrough in both his mind and body in the final stage, which shows that the greater the pressure, the better he can perform."

Tu Lishan nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. He also noticed that Zhang Yu, in terms of construction style, construction system, cultivation path, and his own personality, seemed to be the type who became stronger when facing stronger opponents and performed better under pressure.

"Those of us in civil engineering need this kind of resilience."

Tu Lishan thought to himself, "If we want to further unleash his potential, we should give this kid some really tough challenges."

"For example, unfinished buildings, forced demolitions, underground historical sites, environmental protection projects, or those projects that have been unfinished for hundreds of years... might further accelerate his growth."

"But judging from the current situation, this kid is able to push the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal to level 10 or above in a short period of time, and push the Zhanmo Yunshou Gong and Jiuxiao Yunkong Jin to level 20. This talent is really rare. Director Gao probably won't feel comfortable letting him go to a dangerous place in the short term."

As he pondered, Tu Lishan came up with some plans on how to maximize the potential and profits from Zhang Yu.

Meanwhile, Director Gao was scrolling through Zhang Yu's chat history in the competition group, and thought to himself, "This kid, is he actually spending his own money to support his teammates? He only has a few spirit coins, and he's trying to act like a rich person and throw money around?"

What surprised Director Gao even more was that three of his classmates also joined in spending money.

Looking at Zhang Yu, Director Gao suddenly felt a strange yet nostalgic feeling, a feeling he hadn't had for a very long time.

On the other side, Magnetism True Lord was also browsing the communication information of the two competing teams.

"Su Yanyang knows very well how to achieve the best results with the lowest cost."

“Give him a budget of 5 spirit coins for a project, and he might be able to achieve the effect of 10 spirit coins.”

"If he were under my command, I might put him in charge of a group of soul cultivators."

“And Zhang Yu…” Magnetism True Monarch thought to himself, “This kid is clearly not a rich man, yet he is very trusted by his teammates.”

"He may have a talent for attracting investment and funding."

Magnet Lord knew that compared to talents in martial arts, weapon crafting, alchemy, and so on, the ability to inspire trust and persuade people to invest more under high pressure and risk was far more precious.

Giving this kind of person 5 spirit coins might be a loss, but it could also create the effect of 100 spirit coins.

Today, all the powerful figures in Kunxu who have become incredibly wealthy by creating currency possess unparalleled talent in this area, enabling them to leverage massive amounts of resources on their own.

"interesting."

Magnetism True Monarch thought to himself, "But there's no rush in this regard. Let's continue to train him and see how far he can go. Anyway, it's Old Gao's money that's being burned."

Thinking of this, Magnetism True Lord was even more satisfied. Free... was the part of Zhang Yu that Magnetism True Lord was most satisfied with.

Meanwhile, Director Lin on the other side repeatedly reviewed Zhang Yu's several special performances in the competition at a hundred times the speed, thinking to himself, "This is not Gao Chongguang's style. The person behind Zhang Yu's guidance... is either from the architecture department, or the weapon crafting department or the talisman department."

"They're even throwing money at people to win them over? It seems Gao Chongguang really gave him a lot of spirit coins."

Thinking about this, Director Lin had an idea: "I wonder what the price would be for bringing him under my wing?"

Since gaining the backing of the finance department, Director Lin has become increasingly wealthy and powerful over the years. He thought to himself, "Let Jiao Lei talk to him. At least 2.5 times Ji Yuanshu's salary is definitely worthwhile. Any higher and we'll have to consider other conditions..."

Meanwhile, with the battle results revealed, the post-match rankings also emerged based on each team's building completion rate.

The first place was won by the peace faction's Xuanliangtian team, the second place was won by the war faction's Moshangjin team, and the third place was won by the neutral faction.

The remaining 4th and 5th places were won by the pacifists, the 6th place by the war faction, and Zhang Yu's team ranked 7th. Thus, among the top seven, three teams belonged to the war faction, three teams to the pacifists, and one team to the neutral faction.

Currently, the pacifists appear to be in the lead overall, while the neutrals seem to be lagging far behind.

Therefore, the neutral teachers all thought of Su Yanyang. If Su Yanyang could squeeze into 7th place, the neutral team's results wouldn't be so bad.

Director Lin watched this scene and thought to himself, "We have the overall advantage at the moment, but Mo Shangjin will definitely challenge Xuan Liangtian and the others in the next round."

Director Gao thought to himself, "Next, the other side will definitely try to wear down Mo Shangjin and reduce his chances of success in the challenge."

Magnet Master privately messaged Director Gao: "That's it for today, I'm leaving."
The next moment, Magnet Master's figure had vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Director Gao quickly replied: Don't forget the time for the next performance.
……

Meanwhile, off the field...

"seventh!!"

Seeing that the line had reached seventh place, Yu Xinghan clenched his fists excitedly, and then he and Ying Xin next to him burst into laughter.

Gongshu Jin on the other side also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his spirit coins had not been wasted.

Immediately afterward, Gongshu Jin started borrowing money, thinking to himself, "The team can get two copies of the Seven Wonders, and Zhang Yu is definitely going to get one of them."

"As for the other one... Shi Huaiyu should have had the best chance, but she probably doesn't have the money."

"If I offer enough, I have a chance to win it over, and it shouldn't be too expensive."

Gongshu Jin immediately understood that this was the time to compete in terms of potential for immortality, bloodline bonds, and family heritage.

Meanwhile, Che Yufei, Shi Yunxiang, Tian Yang, and others around them, though covered in injuries, were all in a cheerful mood, taking screenshots, posting on their WeChat Moments, and updating their resumes.

Shi Huaiyu looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Your last steel reinforcement was badly installed... I mean, badly installed well! So that it's difficult for them to dismantle and recycle."

"Stop talking, stop talking." Zhang Yu quickly stopped the other person from speaking: "Although we won this competition, it violated too much of my conscience and integrity as a civil engineer. I will never do such a thing again unless absolutely necessary."

Shi Huaiyu looked at Zhang Yu with some admiration: "This guy... is just as shameless as Teacher Tu. He must have been scavenging for food at the construction site quite a bit."

Just then, a quarrel broke out in the distance; it was Su Yanyang arguing with his teammates.

Shi Huaiyu turned her head with a hint of pleasure and looked at Su Yanyang, who was surrounded by the crowd. A smile appeared on her lips: "Ha, Su Yanyang may have to rebuild his team next year."

A loud shout rang out: "Su Yanyang, what right do you have to fine me?"

"I think the biggest problem is with your command! I always said we should just attack and see what happens."

"The other side can't beat us at all. If we swarm them, we might just win."

"It's all your fault! You insisted on building this smart building, this grand array..."

Looking at his angry teammates, Su Yanyang said coldly, "My command was fine, it's your attitude towards the competition that's the problem, especially you... Your combat time and construction scale are both the lowest in the team, so you should be fined according to the team rules."

The other party retorted angrily, "Isn't it you who made me clean up the evil energy pollution right from the start?"

"Then let me ask you, does the data include how I cleansed the evil energy pollution?"

"Then let me ask you again, does the data include any statistics on your mistakes in soul cultivation?"

"Answer me!"

At the same time, Hun Xiu sent a message to Su Yanyang: "Boss, I haven't paid yet."

Su Yanyang replied: "You have the nerve to ask for money with work like this? I've already applied for a refund."
After blocking the other party, Su Yanyang continued to argue with his teammates, and soon after, he received a payment reminder from the intermediary company behind Soul Cultivation.

Real Estate Agency: Mr. Su Yanyang, if you insist on refusing to pay, we will have no choice but to sue you.

At the same time, the reply from Fahai Company also appeared in Su Yanyang's eyes.

Wan Dao Jiang Zong Customer Service: Mr. Su Yanyang, according to the information from the scene, the Dharma Body did not malfunction; rather, your meridians were invaded. Your claim cannot be processed.
Just then, the substitute players also came over, demanding that Su Yanyang refund their money.

In an instant, Su Yanyang felt his anger growing stronger and stronger.

"A bunch of useless people, each and every one of them is holding me back."

Thinking of this, he didn't bother with the others anymore, shoved his teammates aside with a bang, and left on his own.
