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

Chapter 512 I'm Stop Pretending, I'm the Weapon Refiner Master
Seeing Zhang Yu accept the blueprints, Magnetism True Monarch nodded secretly, thinking to himself, "It's not a bad thing if he can solidify his foundation, study diligently for a few years to obtain a Class A military certificate, and then turn to cultivate weapon-refining techniques."

"If you can't keep going, you can always try participating in the weapon crafting design competition."

Magnetism True Lord was not surprised by which path Zhang Yu ultimately chose, but was curious whether Zhang Yu would change his mind and how far he could persist on this path.

"Alright." Magnetism True Monarch waved his hand and said, "I've already told you everything that needed to be told."

"The specific procedures for changing departments will be handled by someone later. Just follow along."

"Go."

Zhang Yu nodded and then turned to leave.

But just before he left, his gaze shifted, and his eyes were fixed on the chest of the Magnet True Lord.

Just now, Zhang Yu felt a flash before his eyes, as if a few words floated across the chest of the Magnetic Pole True Monarch.

Sensing Zhang Yu's movements, Magnetism True Monarch tilted his head and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Zhang Yu quickly shook his head and said, "It's alright."

He thought to himself, "Is it a Dao Seed?"

"Was what I just saw the Dao Seed on the body of True Monarch Magnetism?"

"Unfortunately, it flashed by so quickly that I didn't even get a clear look at what it was."

"But if it's a Dao Seed, then the Dao Seed of True Monarch Magnetism should be very helpful for refining weapons, right?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I should visit my master more often in the future, and try to copy his Dao seed as soon as possible."

Then he looked at the design drawings of the prototype of the Heavenly Sun God and felt a little excited.

At the same time, he instructed, "Fuji, please take a good look at the design drawings of this prototype of the Heavenly Sun God and summarize all the technologies that need to be mastered as summarized by the Magnetism True Monarch."

"Then, based on this information, we will compile a list of the treasures that contain these technologies."

In this way, Zhang Yu can save a lot of time searching for information. He will only need to follow the list to practice the magic weapon blueprints.

"Huh?" Fukuhime said, "Me?"

Zhang Yu said, "The company is in a critical situation right now. Shouldn't you take the initiative to help the boss out of his predicament?"

As for Zhang Yu himself, he didn't rush to study the contents, but instead turned around and ran towards the construction site on the 669th floor.

Since finishing the finals of the civil engineering competition, Zhang Yu has had very little money in his account, and he feels extremely insecure.

As soon as the competition ended, he rushed back to the university to attend the celebration banquet, visit the finance department, and meet with Magnetism True Lord... It was almost one thing after another that kept him from catching his breath.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This little bit of money... I could go bankrupt if I just hit a few people on the street."

"No, I need to make some money first to calm my nerves."

So he went to the construction site on the top floor, familiar with the area, and started working there as an individual.

Although the finance department used its connections to cut off his company's projects, it still couldn't stop Zhang Yu from doing odd jobs.

However, many people on the construction site were whispering among themselves in the spirit world as they watched this scene.

"Zhang Yu is doing odd jobs too?"

"Sigh, who told him to offend the finance department? He clearly possesses military-grade strength, like the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, yet he still has to come here and do the same work as us."

"They're still too arrogant. They think they can challenge the finance department just because they got first place across schools? No matter how strong the civil engineering department is, it's still just the civil engineering department."

Ji Yuanshu, who was not far away, heard similar rumors and made a special trip to see Zhang Yu.

As the opponent unleashed a palm strike from afar, the steel bars and cement seemed to come alive, each breaking, twisting, shaping, and being poured...

Ji Yuanshu's expression was complicated as he watched this scene.

The news that Zhang Yu had rejected the Finance Department's invitation had now spread throughout the Civil Engineering Department, and Ji Yuanshu was certainly not blind or deaf to it.

He watched Zhang Yu working hard on the construction site and thought to himself, "What is this guy thinking? He actually turned down an invitation from the finance department? Doesn't he know how big an opportunity this is? Is this a chance to rise to the top in one step?"

Ji Yuanshu felt that he could not understand the other person's thought process at all.

Zhang Yu, however, was completely unconcerned about the onlookers around him at the construction site.

For him, it didn't matter where he worked. With the blessing of the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, he earned a considerable wage on the construction site, and the piece-rate pay that appeared in his eyes was increasing almost every minute and every second.

Just then, several foremen ran up to Zhang Yu, looking apologetic, and said, "Zhang, I'm sorry, we made a mistake. Your job has already been assigned, and there may not be any suitable work for you on the construction site..."

Zhang Yu frowned slightly and said, "Are these temporary workers on the 669th floor also under the jurisdiction of the Finance Department?"

A foreman said helplessly, "The real estate company that invested in the construction of the university town has always had a background in finance, so please don't make things difficult for us."

Zhang Yu shook his head, too lazy to talk to the foremen in front of him anymore. After settling his current salary, he planned to switch to a project without a finance background.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "These guys in the finance department are really vengeful."

Fu Ji said, "Following the trend brings prosperity, while resisting it brings ruin. How can we build enough authority without taking ruthless measures time and time again? For the financial sector, it is essential to have this kind of momentum and prestige in order to save time and effort when investing in projects and manipulating fortune."

"But it won't be long before the weapon crafting department comes to your aid, so why are you in such a hurry to make money?" "If you're really worried about not having money in your pocket, just take some from the company."

Zhang Yu said, "Take some from the company?"

Fu Ji said, "Let Zhao Tianxing and Mo Tianyi return their wages. You can use their wages to cover it first, and then pay them later."

Zhang Yu shook his head: "College students and those who cultivate their souls are in dire need of money every day... I'd better not."

"Besides, the company's projects have been suspended, and their income has already plummeted."

Just then, Zhang Yu received a message from Ying Xin's grandfather.

Yingxin's grandfather: Mr. Zhang, I've discussed it with the company's employees.

Yingxin's grandfather: Everyone knows that the company is facing difficulties right now, so everyone will find some odd jobs to do.
Yingxin's grandfather: Mr. Zhang, you don't need to rush to pay the salaries that haven't been paid yet. We can talk about it when the company stabilizes.

Fu Ji curled her lip and said, "Tch, it's already a huge favor that we paid them on time. Why do we have to complain about the slightly delayed payday? Isn't it because they think you're going to join the weapon crafting department and want to latch onto you?"

Just then, a familiar figure appeared in front of Zhang Yu.

Li Xiao, his face covered in ashes, asked, "Senior Brother, are you alright?"

Zhang Yu smiled faintly and said, "What could possibly be wrong with me?"

On the other side, Ying Xin, Gongshu Jin, Yu Xinghan, and Shi Yunxiang also came over at some point, all showing concern for Zhang Yu's situation of being suppressed by the Finance Department.

At the same time, information kept appearing in Zhang Yu's eye sockets.

Feng Tingting: Are you alright? The Civil Engineering department can't stop the Finance department. Maybe we should ask Senior Sister Ye Xingli for help. She can get help from Magnetism True Lord.
As they were talking, Zhang Yu had just passed through the construction site gate when he received another message in his eyes.

His inter-school competition championship record has been successfully registered within Wanfa University, causing his overall score to skyrocket.

In the eyes of the numerous security guards, workers, and students surrounding him, Zhang Yu's aura suddenly surged, and his ranking rose again and again, reaching 20th... 15th... 10th...

Ultimately, it surged to 8th place.

People around were shocked by this amazing scene; some started taking pictures, while others exclaimed in surprise.

In addition to the increase in his overall score, the 20 spirit coins awarded by the school were also directly credited to Zhang Yu's account, which slightly alleviated the urgent financial crisis.

Meanwhile, with the competition results finalized and his overall score and ranking soaring, another message was sent to Zhang Yu.

He is a True Person of Refining Fire from the Weapon Refining Department.

Master Lianhuo: Hello, Zhang Yu. I am your future class teacher in the Weapon Forging Department.

Master Lianhuo: The director asked me to help you with your department transfer procedures. There are some documents I need you to provide.

It was during this process that Zhang Yu learned that transferring from the Civil Engineering Department to the Weapon Forging Department would result in a discount on the overall score.

In particular, the overall score obtained from various competition rankings all had to be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided. It was said to be influenced by various industry factors, but in Zhang Yu's view, it was clearly blatant professional discrimination, which ultimately reduced his overall score by more than half.

Master Lianhuo: Are you planning to change dorms? I can help you arrange it.
Zhang Yu: Not needed for now.

Although Zhang Yu didn't want to change dormitories, considering that the current dormitory was provided by Director Gao of the Civil Engineering Department, he had to ask him about it first.

At the same time, Zhang Yu, who was communicating with Master Lianhuo, suddenly froze on the spot in everyone's eyes.

Li Xiao asked, "What's going on, Senior Brother?"

Yingxin said from the side, "It must be because the overall score of the competition has been finalized that the ranking has skyrocketed. He's probably talking to the department leaders now."

Gongshu Jin sighed, "Sigh, it's probably related to the finance department."

"The financial sector has a very deep reach, and its influence is reflected in all aspects."

The thought that Zhang Yu was one of the top students in the Civil Engineering Department, yet the professors couldn't protect him in front of the Finance Department, made the Civil Engineering students present feel a sense of unease.

But at that moment, Zhang Yu's ranking changed again.

Li Xiao thought to himself, "Can it go up any further?"

But this time it didn't rise, it fell.

Although it was a drop, the surrounding crowd was even more shocked and horrified, feeling that Zhang Yu's aura was surging! Surge! Crash!
This is simply because his ranking has changed from the Civil Engineering Department to the Weapon Forging Department.

From a gloomy 8th place in the Civil Engineering department, he became a dazzling 48th place in the Weapon Forging department.

It's the weapon-refining master!

Li Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Brother! You! You! You! You transferred to the Weapon Forging Department?"

Zhang Yu smiled faintly and said, "I originally wanted to spend some time in the Civil Engineering Department to reflect and grow, but instead I was insulted and bullied by the Finance Department."

"So I've decided to stop pretending."

"I'm coming clean."

"I am a student in the weapon crafting department."
