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

Chapter 422 Final Exams Over, Instant Riches (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Looking at Zhang Yu's appearance in the video, Tu Lishan thought to himself, "These magical treasures must have cost a lot of spirit coins, right? Director Gao really values ​​this kid."

Just then, Director Gao, who had finished watching Zhang Yu's video, replied: "Now that we've confirmed he got first place, let him finish early."

Tu Lishan pursed his lips, thinking to himself, "Isn't that too biased? Can't Zhang Yu do more unpaid work?"

Tulishan: Understand
Tulishan: Don't worry, I've been watching.

So, Gongshu Jin, who was engrossed in his work, soon discovered that Zhang Yu's salary statistics had stopped appearing above him on the leaderboard.

"Huh? Zhang Yu has stopped working?"

Gongshu Jin initially thought something had happened, but he soon received news that Zhang Yu had submitted his paper and left early.

"You handed in your paper so early?!"

But Gongshu Jin quickly understood Zhang Yu's intention, because even though Zhang Yu had stopped working, the salary data hanging above everyone's heads was still enough to suppress everyone.

Seeing this, Ji Yuanshu gave a wry smile: "It's just a simple math problem."

"Even with the remaining time, multiplied by each of our work efficiency and salaries, we still cannot surpass Zhang Yu."

At that moment, the students in the examination hall felt as if the lofty names and numbers on the leaderboard were like a sky-covering hand that suppressed them all with a single blow, making it impossible for them to surpass them no matter how hard they tried.

……

Soon after, the final exam rankings were calculated and converted into a composite score, resulting in a new class ranking.

Ji Yuanshu looked at Zhang Yu, who was still first in the class, Gongshu Jin, who was second, Ying Xin, who was third, and Yu Xinghan, who was fourth, and slowly let out a breath.

"competition……"

Although he knew before the exam that he couldn't surpass these four people without competition points, he still felt a pang in his heart when he actually saw the rankings.

In particular, Zhang Yu's overall ranking in the department jumped from 95th to 62nd after this final exam.

The remaining Gongshu Jin, Ying Xin, and Yu Xinghan also received their respective overall rankings, placing them in the eighties and nineties.

"call……"

“It’s not my fault,” Ji Yuanshu thought to himself. “It’s just that the war faction’s push has given Zhang Yu an unimaginable amount of resources, and has also allowed Gongshu Jin and the others to reach a position far beyond their true strength.”

"As long as I win the next civil engineering competition."

The new Civil Engineering Competition is approaching, and this time Ji Yuanshu has joined an incredibly strong team, the result of Ma Xuan and Su Yanyang working together.

As they enter their junior year, the previous graduating class of ten students has already graduated.

"The team is stronger this time than last year, and the original 10 students have all graduated. As a result, we even have a chance to break into the top 5."

He believed that he would definitely get a ranking in the competition this time, and he had to get a ranking in the competition.

After all, the seven credit cards in his mind were already the limit of what he could handle. If he couldn't achieve a breakthrough in his performance and accumulate more luck before the end of the year...

"It's alright, it's just a technical adjustment, we'll definitely succeed this time."

"Once I achieve something, I can show it off everywhere and regain my luck."

Ji Yuanshu desperately wanted to use common financial methods... to show off and consolidate his luck.

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough points or ranking to show off at that moment.

……

Inside the luxurious dormitory.

Zhang Yu looked at the chat history in various groups, and every now and then the corners of his mouth would curl up and reveal a slight smile.

"Zhang Yu is too amazing. He ranked 62nd in the entire department in his sophomore year. I think he will be able to master the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering in the future."

"Wealth, talent, physique... possessing just one of these three is already an unparalleled genius. I never expected that someone in the Civil Engineering Department would possess all three. They're too strong, just too strong, so strong they're not even human!"

"My Dao heart has collapsed. Looking at Zhang Yu's results and then at mine, I feel like I'm just trash."

As soon as Yu Xinghan returned to the dormitory, she saw Zhang Yu staring at the air and grinning foolishly. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?"

Zhang Yu licked his lips and calmly said, "I have gained some insights into cultivation, and I am overjoyed."

At this moment, Zhang Yu felt the greatest regret that he could only watch others praise him, but had no reason to show off himself.

"Going out of your way to show off seems a bit low-class."

"Fine, I'll just post it on WeChat Moments."

"Sigh, it's still more fun to be in the finance department. If you're strong, you can show off to your heart's content. When you go around showing off, people will just say that you're doing it for cultivation or for luck."

Soon Zhang Yu received many congratulatory messages from friends. He read them one by one, replying to those he knew well and ignoring those he didn't.

Che Yufei: Wow, that's awesome!

Shi Yunxiang: Lao Che and I have discussed it. Zhang Yu, if you want to hire other people, just let us know.

Shi Huaiyu: Congratulations, junior! Your reputation in the Civil Engineering Department is growing. Our teachers were talking about you in class today.

Li Xiao: [0.1 Spirit Coins] Bro, can you take me with you in this year's competition?

Yingxin: Senior Brother, I see you have quite a few magical treasures today? Do you need soul cultivation?

Gongshu Jin: [1 Spirit Coin] I am grateful for the silent companionship of my friends. I sincerely wish you happiness and lasting friendship!

Director Gao: Same place tomorrow, I'll teach you the third secret technique.
Upon seeing the message from Director Gao, Zhang Yu felt a surge of excitement: "Finally, the third masterpiece!"

"In this way, we can make a small three."

When Zhang Yu first saw Ma Xuan use the Lesser Three Harmonies technique, he was already incredibly envious.

After experiencing a series of fierce battles in the civil engineering competition, he realized that in the civil engineering world of Kunxu, the "small three-in-one" skill was an essential skill for civil engineering masters.

"After mastering the three key points, I have a much better chance of passing the military exam."

In the following days, Zhang Yu continued attending classes and working, quietly waiting for the next day to learn his cultivation techniques. Meanwhile, with the end of the final exams, the results for each department and grade were released, and naturally, Zhang Yu wasn't the only one who stood out.

Each department has its own legend, and each grade has its own number one.

After this exam in the Civil Engineering Department, besides Zhang Yu, another person suddenly emerged.

Ping Han is the student who graduated from the previous graduating class and has now entered the graduating class, ranking second in the entire department.

Feng Tingting: Junior, I heard that a student named Ping Han from your Civil Engineering Department made a fortune?

Feng Tingting: They say they got rich from cryptocurrency trading.

Feng Tingting: When she took the exam, she was equipped with top-tier magical artifacts and magical remains.

Feng Tingting: Later, he contacted one by one the people who had refused to lend him money before so he could trade cryptocurrencies.

Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and he noticed that Ping Han had already sent him a message.

Pinghan: Screenshots of cryptocurrency trading profits. Image file
Zhang Yu stared at the numbers in the screenshot, slightly taken aback: "A profit of over 400 spirit coins?"

"You made so much money?"

Pinghan: Sigh, junior, I was genuinely poor when I asked you for money.
Pinghan: So poor that we can barely afford medicine.

Pinghan: If you had lent me the money back then, you would be part of the profits now.

Looking at the message Ping Han sent, Zhang Yu finally understood what Feng Tingting meant.

Soon, Zhang Yu found Ping Han's chat history or messages in many groups.

……

Ping Han: Mo Shangjin, have you seen my profits?

Pinghan: Do you regret not lending me money?

Pinghan: Otherwise you would earn more than this.

……

Ping Han: Xiao Yunji, do you regret it now?
Ping Han: If you had lent me money back then, I could have helped you earn more than 1000 spirit coins.

Ping Han: I'm earning all the money myself now. I'm definitely getting the military certification this time; you're out of luck.

……

Pinghan: @Everyone, screenshot of cryptocurrency trading profits. (image file)
Ping Han: Where are the people who usually advise me against trading cryptocurrencies?

Ping Han: As it turns out, my cryptocurrency trading skills are top-notch in the Civil Engineering department.
Ping Han: My earning power has surpassed that of 99.99% of you.
Ping Han: I won't go to the construction site anymore after I get my military ID.
Ping Han: Because a much wider world awaits me, called the investment circle.

……

Seeing the various comments that Ping Han had left behind, Su Yanyang's heart sank, and he clenched his fists tightly.

"This guy... he actually made that much money?"

"Damn it!"

Su Yanyang thought to himself, "Ping Han was already very strong, but because he owed too much debt and lacked the assistance of magic bodies and magic treasures, his strength has greatly deteriorated."

"Having earned so many spirit coins this time, his strength has probably increased by leaps and bounds... He can truly be called the second strongest in the entire system."

The thought of competing with such a monster for the military certification exam next month made Su Yanyang feel a surge of bitterness.

He sighed deeply, thinking to himself, "The chances of getting the military certificate this time are probably slim."

……

"Brother Ping, could you teach me how to trade cryptocurrencies?"

"Senior Pinghan, I want to learn cryptocurrency trading from you."

"Senior, you can take this money. If you lose, it's on me."

As Ping Han looked at the messages sent to him by his classmates, a slight smile appeared on his lips. He felt as if all the pent-up frustration in his heart had been released.

Ping Han replied to each person and began to add everyone to his investment group.

"Mo Shangjin, Xiao Yunji, and... Zhang Yu, haven't they replied to me yet?"

Ping Han thought to himself, "Hmph, they don't know how to answer, do they?"

"I'll show it to you when I get my military certificate next month."

"We'll ask you for investment again later, and see if you'll still invest."

……

Zhang Yu glanced at the screenshots circulating in various groups and thought to himself, "Has Ping Han been suppressing his emotions too much before?"

Fuki commented, "That's just how some people are, especially cryptocurrency traders. When they're poor, they're looked down upon and feel like everyone despises them. But once they suddenly become rich... they tend to show off and flaunt their wealth everywhere."

"Moreover, in the process of showing off, one can accumulate more spirit coins, control more funds, and then start snowballing..."

Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and he said, "You mean, he can keep making money?"

Fu Ji asked uncertainly, "I'm neither a Nascent Soul God nor a financial expert, how would I know these things?"

“We don’t even know how he made so much money from this cryptocurrency trading.”

"However, if he really wants to raise funds, he will definitely boast about how he made his money."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, then sighed, "It just so happens that he became rich at this time."

"Then Ping Han should not be underestimated in next month's military certification exam."
