Chapter 513 Ascension Refinement System

Although Ying Xin had heard about this from her ancestor before, she was still shocked to see Zhang Yu's ranking change from the Civil Engineering Department to the Weapon Forging Department.

"Ascension in broad daylight!" Ying Xin was deeply shocked. "Senior Brother ascended from the construction site of the Civil Engineering Department to the Weapon Forging Department!"

On the other side, Gongshu Jin burst into laughter, trembling with excitement: "Great! My friend, that's wonderful!"

Seeing everyone's gaze, Gongshu Jin quickly clenched his hands, which were starting to slip out of control, and said repeatedly, "I...I'm happy for my senior brother!"

Gongshu Jin suppressed the smirk that kept creeping up his lips and shouted, "I'm so happy for Senior Brother to switch to the Weapon Forging Department!"

Yu Xinghan, who was standing to the side, watched this scene and said with a sneer, "Damn it... anyone who didn't know better would think you had successfully changed majors."

He thought to himself, "Isn't it just that you think you can get first place in the class now that Zhang Yu left? Everyone knows what you're thinking."

While taking photos, Shi Yunxiang wondered whether he should post them on his WeChat Moments.

“Zhang Yu previously defeated Xiangshan, which drew countless curses from the demons. If the demons find out that I am friends with him, I will definitely be called a traitor.”

"But things are different now. Before, it was Zhang Yu of the human race beating up Xiang Shan of the demon race. Now it's the weapon-refining master beating up the earthwork dog... Who has anything to say?"

Although he didn't attend the Heavenly Demon University, Shi Yunxiang still knew a lot about the university and the demon race. It was a world where race equals major, major equals race, and different races belonged to different majors.

Zhang Yu's switch of factions was, in the eyes of the demon race, equivalent to a lower-class race becoming a higher-class race. Not to mention defeating Xiangshan of the Earth and Wood faction, any insult to Xiangshan would be perfectly reasonable.

Ying Xin looked at Gongshu Jin and said, "Don't call me Senior Brother anymore. After all, we're not in the same department. I think it's fine to just call me Senior."

Gongshu Jin immediately realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, that's right. We should change our way of addressing it."

Meanwhile, many workers and security guards around watched this rare scene with envy and jealousy.

"Sigh, having this weapon crafting skill hanging on my head makes a difference."

"Look at the 48th person in the weapon crafting department, aren't their names all a bit bigger?"

"It's not a matter of the name. Look at weapon refining and civil engineering. One has both refining and weapon making, while the other has both earth and wood. Just from the names, you can tell that weapon refining is more cultured than civil engineering."

Upon hearing the surrounding workers' discussions, Ji Yuanshu also rushed over and stared at Zhang Yu's departing figure for a long time without saying a word.

His eyes were fixed on the top of Zhang Yu's head, as if trying to see whether it was the weapon crafting system or the earth and wood system.

But the distance was too far, and the Tiger Brand Fa Hai couldn't see it clearly.

"Can't see clearly."

"I just can't see clearly right now."

On this day, Ji Yuanshu did not work overtime. He found the free Fuxin Medicine and vented all his unhappiness, jealousy, resentment, and hatred.

"Zhang Yu! What makes you think you can transfer to the weapon crafting department?!"

"You've worked on construction sites for three years, what do you know about weapon crafting?"

"It's all a cover-up, a complete cover-up! This Wanfa University is so corrupt I can't see anything clearly."

As Ping Han listened to Ji Yuanshu's words, he was repeatedly shocked by the intense news, both physically and mentally.

"Zhang Yu... transferred to the Weapon Forging Department?! How could he get into the Weapon Forging Department?!"

Upon hearing this news, Fu Xinyao frowned: "Damn it, what a waste of time on these civil engineering students. I should try to get in touch with the weapon crafting department next."

"The weapon crafting system... Sigh, this is a bit troublesome."

……

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu, after leaving the construction site, discovered that the world was indeed much wider after changing his major.

As his professional ranking was displayed above his head, passersby always showed a hint of respect in their eyes, silently stepping aside and not daring to block Zhang Yu's way.

Zhang Yu was constantly receiving friend requests through his eye sockets, forcing him to disable friend requests altogether.

Even the advertisements appearing in the eye sockets are different now.

The advertisements for various brands like Jihu and local brands have disappeared, replaced by high-end brands such as Wandao Jiangzong and Jingang Xuanzao.

The various messy advertisements on the street have all changed. The neon signs have been replaced by high-end, classy billboards with dazzling light and shadow effects, clearly targeting wealthy people in the weapon crafting industry.

Even the terrain has changed.

"Was there a shortcut here before?"

"This is... a special anti-gravity tunnel for weapon crafting?"

"So there's a magic item shop that's only accessible to those specializing in weapon crafting?"

"Hmm? Was there originally a street on this floor?"

"Wait...why does it feel like so many things have gone up in price?"

After walking around as a member of the Weapon Forging Department, Zhang Yu was shocked to discover that the Wanfa University City was viewed very differently by the Civil Engineering Department and the Weapon Forging Department.

"In the eyes of students majoring in weapon crafting, the university town is bigger, more luxurious, more convenient, and also more... expensive!"

"Looks like I'll have to ask someone from the Civil Engineering department to buy things for me in the future." At the same time, Zhang Yu received apologies from several foremen at the construction site.

Zhang Yu didn't care about this, since the suppression on the construction site was at the behest of the financial sector, and it wasn't something these foremen could change.

Although Zhang Yu joined the weapon crafting department, he could not change the financial department's decision, and the construction project on the 669th floor was ultimately out of reach.

"However, the weapon crafting department also has many factory and building construction projects. I need to get to know my teacher better and find some work for my company."

As Zhang Yu pondered, countless congratulations poured in like snowflakes.

Mo Shangjin: Congratulations, I'll be relying on you for repairing magical artifacts from now on.

Su Yanyang: Senior, I really hate to part with you.
Che Yufei: Mr. Zhang, I'll stick with you from now on. Call me anytime if you need to work overtime.
The class group chat was flooded with messages, filled with congratulations and shocked emojis.

Looking at the constantly updated messages in the Civil Engineering class group, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I'm no longer in the Civil Engineering department. Will I be kicked out next? Should I voluntarily leave the Civil Engineering class group?"

I told my homeroom teacher, Jiao Lei Zhenren, about this idea, and he replied: There's no need to rush to withdraw.

Jiao Lei Zhenren: The school rules don't stipulate that you have to leave the group if you change your major.

Jiao Lei Zhenren: Civil Engineering will always be your home. You can stay in the group and come back to visit anytime you want.

Then Zhang Yu looked at the Songyang fellow townsmen group, and sure enough, the group was constantly updating and people were talking about him.

Mo Tianyi: President Zhang has successfully transferred to the weapon crafting department.

Mo Tianyi: This is the first student in our Songyang City to master the Ten Thousand Laws Refining technique; he is truly unprecedented and will likely never be seen again.

Lanling: Brother Mo, is Boss Zhang still hiring? I also applied to the Civil Engineering Department at Shanhe University.
Mo Tianyi: What do you mean by "you also"?

Mo Tianyi: In the future, when everyone discusses President Zhang in the group, please remember not to treat him as a civil engineering student.

Mo Tianyi: It's best not to discuss his previous work in civil engineering.

Zhang Yu shook his head slightly as he watched this scene: "Xiao Mo is still too hasty in handling things, but it's good that she has the intention."

"Although I don't care myself, having a civil engineering background is still a stain in the eyes of many people."

Fuki said, "If the Civil Engineering major is like a yellowish-brown color, then the Weapon Forging major is like a golden color. Yellowish-brown is nothing special, but compared to gold, it looks like a lump of excrement."

“If you go to the weapon crafting department, people will definitely look at you with prejudice.”

"But it doesn't matter. In a couple of years, once you've made a name for yourself with your weapon-refining skills, people will get used to your identity as a weapon-refining specialist."

"The only thing to worry about is whether it will affect the time when you join a sect."

Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "This has an impact?"

Fuki said, "Of course it might have an impact. If you want to change it... it will be troublesome. At least a powerful being above the Nascent Soul stage is needed to erase the record of your civil engineering background from your file, settle the karmic debt, and hide your origins."

Meanwhile, many more students in the Songyang hometown group were inquiring about Zhang Yu and his company, and many were considering part-time jobs.

Zhang Yu's current status as a weapon refiner has clearly greatly enhanced the company's image and growth potential.

Deep within the spirit realm, Zhao Tianxing watched the constantly refreshing chat history in the group, seeing all the colonels and junior college students envying his job as a college graduate, which made the mosaic at the corner of his mouth involuntarily widen.

Looking up, one can see a low-resolution space where only the group photo of Zhao Tianxing, himself, Zhang Yu, and others on the podium, emits a faint glow, revealing relatively clear content.

Although his income had increased, Zhao Tianxing had not moved to a different place in order to save money.

Upon hearing that Zhao Tianxing's classmate and boss had switched to the weapon crafting department, his roommates all sent messages, and a large number of exclamation marks flashed in the blurry space.

Soul cultivators: !!!

……

Meanwhile, after completing the transfer procedures, Zhang Yu was added to the weapon-refining class group by his homeroom teacher, Master Lianhuo.

As he joined the class group, the students left a few welcome messages, and then started scrolling through other messages.

Zi Yunzhen: I achieved a high score of 56733 in the Golden Core simulation test, surpassing 72% of the students.

Another student commented: Wow, your simulation scores have gone up again recently?

Zi Yunzhen: You've made some progress, haven't you? You all should try running it and see how many points you can get if you forge your Golden Core now.

Su Yunni: I achieved a high score of 79251 in the Golden Elixir simulation test, surpassing 85% of the students.

Zi Yunzhen: Wow, you must be the tallest in our class!

Su Yunni: It hasn't reached the excellent level yet.

Su Yunni: Keep up the good work! My goal is to get at least 25 points in the simulation before I can achieve the Golden Core stage.
Looking at the messages in the class group, Zhang Yu realized that the other party was discussing the Golden Elixir simulation test.

"Sigh, the Songyang fellow townsmen group is discussing part-time jobs, the civil engineering class group is discussing construction projects, but look at the weapon refining department? The third-year students are discussing Golden Core simulation scores and considering the quality of their future Golden Cores."

"This is the gap."

While pondering this, Zhang Yu also curiously clicked on the website shared in the group, wanting to see what score he could get if he were to forge his Golden Core now.
