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

Chapter 507 Financial Rescue (Thanks to '樱书ing' for the generous donation)
Just a few months ago, Lian Shu Zhenjun had absolutely no recollection of Zhang Yu, a student in the civil engineering department.

Even if Zhang Yu passed the military certificate exam in his junior year of college, it would probably only be a name that sounds familiar to him.

After all, for students, passing the military certificate exam is incredibly difficult, challenging, and rare. In a class of so many students, perhaps not a single one will pass it after ten years.

However, for Lian Shu Zhenjun, although obtaining a military certificate is difficult, there are quite a few people with military certificates in the entire grade and the entire school.

For example, almost half of the students in his friend list have military ID cards.

What truly drew the attention of the Chain Pivot True Lord to Zhang Yu was the experiment with the Divine Body Transformation Technique.

After all, anything that involves the Nascent Soul stage is a big deal, no matter how small.

Moreover, this time it involves the core technology of the Divine Soup Master.

In the project teams of Magnetism True Lord and Heavenly Chapter True Lord, apart from Zhang Yu... no other experimental subjects were successfully tested.

Even though the school and project team have recently increased their investment and recruited more students for testing, there has still been no real success story.

It's not just the Nascent Soul Remains in the hands of Magnet Pole True Monarch that are like this; according to Chain Pivot True Monarch, the Nascent Soul Remains hidden in the Financial System have also failed to find a successful experimental subject.

Therefore, after Jiutianliu failed to rent Zhang Yu, recruiting Zhang Yu into the finance department gradually became a new option.

If this option was originally just a backup plan, then after Zhang Yu won the inter-school championship in the civil engineering competition, Lian Shu Zhenjun decided to put the plan into action.

Even disregarding the matter of the Nascent Soul Reincarnation, given Zhang Yu's demonstrated abilities, investing in it would definitely not be a loss.

At this very moment, True Lord Chain Pivot descended his projection, intending to personally recruit Zhang Yu.

In his view, with his status as a top figure in the finance department, personally recruiting the other party would be a piece of cake.

As for the Civil Engineering Department's reputation? Or Director Gao's reputation? In Lian Shu Zhenjun's opinion, when have they ever had any reputation to speak of?
At the same time, upon hearing Lian Shu Zhenjun's words about sparing no effort to recruit Zhang Yu, the scene immediately erupted in chaos.

Especially among the many students present, although they did not speak on the surface, the amount of information they communicated with each other in the spirit world suddenly surged.

Someone posted photos of the scene in the class group chat.

"Chain Pivot True Lord from the Finance Department is here to snatch Zhang Yu!"

"It was when Director Gao wanted to recommend Zhang Yu for postgraduate studies."

Yingxin: It looks like my senior brother is going to be promoted to the finance department.

Li Xiao: Can we all ask our senior brother for loans from now on?
Ji Yuanshu, who was working overtime at the construction site, was slightly taken aback and stared at the messages in the group for a long time without making any move.

In the inter-school competition group.

Shi Huaiyu: It's a talent war!
Xiao Yunji: It's not just Director Gao who wants to take Zhang Yu; the weapon crafting department and the finance department are also vying for him.

Su Yanyang: If it were me, I would definitely choose the finance department. The finance department is the richest, and they even cover the penalty for breach of contract.
In the department's competition group.

Gongshu Jin: You missed a great show because you didn't come to the banquet!
Gongshu Jin: When Director Gao announced Zhang Yu's recommendation for postgraduate studies, the Chain Pivot True Lord of the Finance Department descended upon him.
Gongshu Jin: We should recruit Zhang Yu directly into the Finance Department!
Yu Xinghan: Zhang Yu, are you going to become a financial tycoon?

Lion Cloud Soaring: Ascended

In the weapon crafting department's group chat, Feng Tingting sent a message: "At the Civil Engineering department's victory celebration banquet, a big shot from the Finance department suddenly appeared and snatched away my disciple on the spot! A slap in the face to the entire Civil Engineering department!"
In that instant, countless messages about the finance department poaching talent spread wildly throughout the spirit world. Even the image of Director Gao, Zhang Yu, and True Monarch Lian Shu together was constantly being photographed and sent out.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Director Gao snorted coldly, stood in front of Zhang Yu, and looked at True Monarch Lian Shu, saying, "Zhang Yu is a student of my Civil Engineering Department, and my disciple. I am grateful for True Monarch Lian Shu's kindness, but let's forget about him joining the Finance Department."

Lian Shu Zhenjun smiled indifferently and said, "Whether to change departments or which teacher to study under is a student's free choice. Why not ask Zhang Yu himself?"

"Director Gao has just taken over the civil engineering department, so it's best not to act arbitrarily, lest it damage the relationship between the civil engineering and finance departments and delay the projects at hand."

Director Gao's gaze sharpened slightly, and he realized that True Lord Lian Shu was using various means of threatening him, such as loans, debts, and investments from the financial system.

After all, many projects in the Civil Engineering department require a lot of funds for turnover, and a lot of the spirit coins are obtained from the Finance department.

It can be said that once the finance department starts to hold the civil engineering department hostage, many construction sites in the civil engineering department will be unable to pay wages, and the projects will come to a standstill.

In the past, the Finance Department has used this tactic to control many affairs within the Civil Engineering Department. Often, with just a little pressure, many professors and experts within the Civil Engineering Department would surrender. However, in Director Gao's view, repeated compromises would only embolden the Finance Department to become increasingly demanding.

Moreover, in Director Gao's view, the threat from the finance department is not insurmountable. After all, if the civil engineering department's projects suffer losses, it means that the finance department's loans will also be at risk. The two should be in a relationship where they rise and fall together.

However, the Civil Engineering department has too many spineless individuals, and the Finance department can achieve immediate results with just a slight threat, which has gradually become a habit for both sides.

Just like at this moment, before Director Gao had even responded, many professors, experts, and teachers at the scene sent him messages, telling him to calm down, not to act impulsively, and to have a proper talk with the Department of Finance.

Director Lin: Calm down, Lao Gao. Do you want a bunch of companies in the Civil Engineering department to go bankrupt?
Wolf Friend: Director Gao, the work of so many teachers and students is important; it can't conflict with the Finance Department's work.

Old Director (Soul Cultivator): Don't fight with the Finance Department. How will we make money if we do? The Civil Engineering Department has so many mouths to feed.

Jiao Lei Zhenren: Director, if a student really wants to change departments, you can't stop them forever. It's not worth getting into a conflict with the Finance Department over this.
As he looked at the messages that appeared in his eyes, Director Gao felt as if his body was bound by invisible chains, and a look of helplessness gradually appeared on his face.

Just then, Zhang Yu, who was behind Director Gao, stepped forward.

He looked directly at the Chain Pivot True Lord before him and said, word by word, "Chain Pivot True Lord, I have made myself very clear just now. I have no interest in the Finance Department and will never switch there."

Lian Shu Zhenjun narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled and said, "Zhang Yu, you are still young. You usually bury yourself in construction sites and may not be aware of the difference between the civil engineering and finance departments."

"It's a waste for someone with your talent to stay in the Civil Engineering department. You should reconsider..."

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, Zhang Yu interrupted Lian Shu Zhenjun's words directly, saying decisively, "I will not go to the finance department."

Seeing his words interrupted and hearing Zhang Yu's decisive refusal, Lian Shu Zhenjun's originally smiling face instantly turned expressionless.

Director Gao, standing to the side, looked at Zhang Yu with surprise, seemingly astonished by the latter's decisive rejection of the Finance Department, and also as surprised by Zhang Yu's unwavering stance in the face of the Finance Department.

At the same time, lines of text messages started popping up in front of Director Gao.

Director Lin: Old Gao! Aren't you going to talk to your disciple? How can you speak to True Monarch Lian Shu like that? It's so impolite!
Old Director (Soul Cultivator): Quickly make your student apologize to True Lord Lian Shu! Where is your responsibility as director? Don't ruin everyone's business!
Director Gao chuckled and said, "Lian Shu, my student has made his meaning clear. Aren't you leaving?"

Lian Shu Zhenjun said expressionlessly, "Zhang Yu, it seems that the contract you signed is indeed very harsh, which is why you reacted this way."

"At the same time, it also shows that you really know nothing about the finance department."

"Come with me to the finance department. You can make your decision after you've seen it."

Director Gao shouted, "Lian Shu! My student has already refused, how long are you going to keep pestering me?"

Lian Shu Zhenjun smiled faintly: "Qingmu, I am only inviting your student to visit the Finance Department. Why are you in such a hurry? Are you afraid that he will not return? If you have so little confidence in the Civil Engineering Department, why are you holding onto him so tightly now?"

Just then, Director Lin stepped forward, walked to Director Gao's side, and said with a helpless expression, "Old Gao, it's just that True Monarch Lian Shu is taking Zhang Yu to visit the Finance Department. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Another teacher stepped forward and advised, "Director Gao, it's a good thing that Zhang Yu can visit the Finance Department. How can we civil engineers not deal with the Finance Department? The sooner Zhang Yu goes to build a good relationship, the better it will be for his future."

Looking at the civil engineering professors who were trying to persuade him, Director Gao felt both angry and helpless.

Lian Shu Zhenjun smiled faintly and watched the scene quietly, as if he were watching a farce.

Just then, a slight tremor was seen in the spirit realm, and the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower appeared, instantly blocking the transmission of information in the spirit realm.

Magnetism True Monarch's cold voice echoed throughout the venue: "Enough, stop spreading this news. Do you want other universities to laugh at our Myriad Laws?"

Chain Pivot True Monarch looked at Magnet Pole True Monarch and smiled, "Alright, Magnet Pole, you finally couldn't hold back anymore and are going to make your move?"

Magnetism True Monarch sneered, "Chain Pivot, today is the Civil Engineering Department's commendation ceremony, and you, a Finance Department student, are singing and dancing here, dressed like you're covered in ghost money. What are you so smug about?"

The projection of True Monarch Chain Pivot changed, his body shimmering with spiritual coins. In the spirit realm, rays of spiritual coin light appeared, rivaling the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower and showing no sign of yielding.

Chain Pivot True Lord: "Magnetic pole, what does it have to do with you that the Finance Department and the Civil Engineering Department are exchanging ideas here? You should be thinking about whether you can pay your loan next month."

Magnetism True Lord: "Did we create the deficit in the accounts? The weapon crafting department and the civil engineering department worked diligently overtime, but the school debt increased year by year, and the money in the accounts decreased year by year. Our weapon crafting department's salary has been decreasing year by year. Some people earn the most, but they want to blame us for the deficit and use loans to hold us hostage?"
