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

Chapter 437 Signing the Contract

Director Gao: [Magnetic Pole True Lord]
Director Gao: It's this teacher from the weapon crafting department.
Director Gao: Didn't I invite someone to give you guidance during the last civil engineering competition?
Zhang Yu: Oh, it's this person? So you're from the weapon crafting department? I didn't know that until you told me.
Zhang Yu: After all, he wasn't a teacher in our civil engineering department. We haven't been in contact since that guidance session, and I don't even remember his name.
Director Gao: So what's your opinion on weapon crafting?
Zhang Yu: I'm quite interested in weapon crafting.

Feeling Zhang Yu move slightly in his arms, Magnetism True Monarch smiled and said, "Be good, don't move around."

"Is it uncomfortable for me to hold you?"

Zhang Yu: "No...no."

Magnetism True Lord's lips curled slightly: "So it's very comfortable?"

Seeing Zhang Yu's stunned expression, Magnet True Monarch asked again, "Is it more comfortable in Teacher Gao's arms or in mine?"

Zhang Yu: "Huh?"

Seeing Zhang Yu's dazed expression, Fu Ji sighed, "Zhang Yu, you're finished. I think this girl is the natural counter to your civil engineering class. Even you and your master can't beat her."

Zhang Yu responded to Fu Ji in his mind: "I just didn't react for a moment and didn't know how to reply."

Fuki said, "Anyway, be careful. This guy is obviously a ruthless person. The way he talks to you now is very targeted. He must have studied your temperament and habits in detail."

Meanwhile, Director Gao on the other side replied: You want to learn weapon crafting?

Zhang Yu: I think that magical artifacts and magical treasures are indispensable on the path of immortality.

Zhang Yu: Learning more about weapon crafting is definitely beneficial; it will help me avoid being ripped off when buying magical artifacts.
Zhang Yu: As for learning real weapon-refining techniques, how could I possibly have the means to do so?
Zhang Yu: Teacher, right now I just want to focus wholeheartedly on learning the things in our civil engineering department, quickly master the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, and make a name for myself on the construction site in the future.

Director Gao: [Smirking] Don't worry, you'll have your chance to learn.
Zhang Yu: Teacher, does that mean that after I get my military certificate this time, I can try the civil engineering heptathlon?
Director Gao: Look, it's urgent again.

Director Gao: As long as the Heavenly Court hasn't announced the results, everything is still unsettled.
Director Gao: Before that, we need to be careful about the impact and not spread the news about the military certificate everywhere, understand?

Zhang Yu: I understand, teacher.
Zhang Yu: I just really want to learn the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power.

Watching the conversation between Magnetism True Monarch and Director Gao, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Is Magnetism True Monarch making Director Gao think... that I'm wholeheartedly going to stay in the Civil Engineering Department to learn the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power?"

Meanwhile, after chatting for a few more minutes, Director Gao asked: Did Director Lin look for you?
Magnetism True Lord looked at Zhang Yu and asked, "Have you searched for it?"

So Zhang Yu immediately told him in detail about Director Lin and the old director coming to see him and the quote they had given him.

Magnet Master also told Director Gao everything.

A moment later, Magnetism True Monarch closed the chat box and looked at Zhang Yu, saying, "Next, Old Gao should be asking you to sign a contract soon and officially accept you as his disciple."

"You can just sign it with him when the time comes."

Seemingly sensing the doubt in Zhang Yu's eyes, Magnetism True Monarch said calmly, "Don't worry, this contract will be quite lenient and won't impose too many restrictions on you."

"As for your relationship with me..."

Magnetism True Monarch's lips curled slightly as he looked at Zhang Yu in his arms, revealing a smile of complete control: "Compared to titles, I care more about the actual results."

"From now on, until you master the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, you'd better be a good disciple of Lao Gao."

"My civil engineering prodigy, Zhang Yu."

Zhang Yu asked, "What if I had mastered the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power in my junior year of college...?"

Magnetism True Lord said dismissively, "Let's talk about it after you've mastered it."

Although this possibility was identified, it was clear to Magnet Lord that the probability was not high.

Meanwhile, Ye Xingli, who was following Magnetism True Lord, was getting closer and closer to Zhang Yu's dormitory floor, and she was getting more and more anxious.

"We're almost at Zhang Yu's place."

"Are you still talking?"

Should I remind you?

But seeing that Magnetism True Lord and Zhang Yu were having a great time chatting, Ye Xingli hesitated whether or not to interrupt.

……

A deserted street corner.

With a loud thud, Zhang Yu landed heavily on the ground like a truckload of cargo.

Magnetism True Lord smiled and said, "Kid, you ate quite well in the examination hall this time."

Zhang Yu smiled awkwardly; he had indeed managed to grab something to eat during the exam.

Zhang Yu: "True Lord, I'll head back now."

Magnetism True Lord said calmly, "Okay, go ahead and get busy."

Watching Zhang Yu's departing figure, Magnetism True Monarch's figure flickered slightly and disappeared without a trace.

"Xingli, you can still give this kid more guidance on weapon crafting techniques in the future."

Upon hearing what Magnetism True Monarch said, Ye Xingli couldn't help but ask, "Master, you seem to treat him... differently from your other students."

Magnetism True Lord said calmly, "Different students should be taught in different ways. This is called teaching according to aptitude."

"Do you know Zhang Yu's roommates?" Zhang Yu's roommates?
Ye Xingli had never really learned about it, nor did she think there was anything worth learning about it.

Magnetism True Monarch continued, "Zhang Yu's roommates are all from his hometown on the first floor."

Ye Xingli asked in surprise, "Huh? They're all from the same floor?"

Ye Xingli believed that she had no prejudice or discrimination against the people of the first level. She just felt that most of them were poor and stupid, and their potential for immortality was extremely weak.

Zhang Yu, a genius who was able to climb all the way up from the first floor, had already greatly exceeded Ye Xingli's expectations.

She never expected that Zhang Yu would still be living with a fellow villager on the same floor... How could they possibly live like that?

Magnetism True Lord said, "In general, based on various information, Zhang Yu is a person who cherishes old friendships."

Seemingly recalling something, Magnetism True Lord sighed, "Heh, nostalgia... How long has it been since I used that word?"

……

After returning to his dormitory, Zhang Yu lay down with a thud.

His severely injured body had long been unable to bear the strain, and now that everything had finally come to an end, he couldn't help but relax completely.

Tulishan: How did the exam go?
Looking at the message from Tu Lishan and recalling the waves of care he received after the military certificate exam today, Zhang Yu sighed in his heart: "Who said Kunxu is heartless? As my grades get better and better, the human touch at Wanfa University is getting stronger and stronger."

Shortly after Zhang Yu lay down, the chilling power of the ritual surged forth again. Zhang Yu sighed helplessly and simply went to the Taiqing Realm to begin learning the subsequent weapon-refining courses there.

Several hours later, Zhang Yu received a message from Director Gao, who intended to accept him as a formal disciple and sign a supplementary contract.

After glancing at the contents of the contract, Zhang Yu thought to himself that what True Monarch Magnetism said was indeed true; the contents of the contract were relatively lenient and did not impose too many restrictions on him.

"But... is it signed with the company?"

"Is this the company that Director Gao owns?"

Zhang Yu continued reading. In general, according to the contract, the company would reimburse him 30 spirit coins per month for his cultivation expenses until he passed the Golden Core qualification exam.

After Zhang Yu breaks through to the Golden Core stage, he is required to take on a certain amount of work, with the profits split 50/50 between him and the company.

As for many other details, they are all based on this.

Zhang Yu sighed, "30 spirit coins a month, that's 360 spirit coins a year. I never imagined that I would become a student who can spend so much money in a year without even realizing it."

Fu Ji commented, "This is a rare, conscientious contract in Kunxu. According to the terms of this contract, Director Gao will only make a small profit after you break through to the Golden Core stage."

"However, once you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, you'll make a fortune."

"It seems that Director Gao is really betting that you can reach the Nascent Soul stage."

"As for when you reach the Nascent Soul stage, then this contract will probably need to be renegotiated."

The next day, under the witness of the righteous god, Zhang Yu and Director Gao signed the contract, and Zhang Yu became Director Gao's formal disciple.

Director Gao looked at Zhang Yu in front of him, nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "I told you to get proper treatment yesterday, why did you run away from the hospital on your own?"

Zhang Yu said, "Teacher, you know my physical condition, there's no need to waste money at the hospital."

"You rascal," Director Gao said with a laugh, "Do I need you to save me money?"

After saying that, he reached out and pulled Zhang Yu over, circulating his magic power within Zhang Yu's body.

At this moment, Director Gao could feel that Zhang Yu's injuries had indeed improved a lot.

Especially after feeling the vibrant life force within his flesh and blood, he became increasingly satisfied with his disciple Zhang Yu.

However, he remained outwardly calm and simply said, "The civil engineering competition is coming up soon, you need to take good care of your health, understand?"

Zhang Yu asked in surprise, "Huh? Isn't the civil engineering competition in December? It's only October now, isn't it?"

Director Gao said, "Starting this year, the competition process will be changed again."

"After all, in recent years, students' practical skills have been getting better and better, and the intensity of competitions has been getting stronger and stronger."

“In this situation, finishing the competition in one or two days makes it too easy to get injured, which increases the cost of the competition and makes it difficult for students to fully demonstrate their abilities.”

"Regarding inter-school competitions, there have always been protests from schools. This year, the inter-school league for the civil engineering competition has been changed to hold a few matches every now and then, with the entire competition taking several months to complete."

"At our university, the departmental competitions are also planned to be changed in the same way."

"The competition started in late October and will continue until December."

Hearing Director Gao's words, Zhang Yu felt that this change was quite good, at least for him it was a huge benefit, giving him more time to recover from his injuries and improve his strength.

Director Gao looked at Zhang Yu and then said, "There's something else I want to give you a heads-up."

"In the departmental competition, you just need to lead your current team into the top seven and secure a spot in the Seven Wonders."

“Once the inter-school league starts, I’ll add you to Mo Shangjin’s team, and you can go with him to see what it’s like.”
