Chapter 577 (Latest Version): The Invisible Heart Weapon of Heaven and Earth's Calamity

Wanfa University.

In the laboratory.

Jin Jun looked at Zhang Yu's award-winning design drawings, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

As the design competition awards ceremony concluded, more and more people learned that Zhang Yu had won the championship.

Although Jin Jun lost to Zhang Yu in the last head-to-head competition for the Heavenly Sun God, he still had the idea of ​​making a comeback.

After receiving Zhang Yu's award-winning design this time, he harbored a slight urge to find fault with it.

However, after studying it several times, Jin Jun had to admit to himself that his skill level was not enough to fill in the gaps in the design drawings.

Thinking of this, Jin Jun let out a soft breath and sighed, "I wish I had won first place in the design competition."

Upon hearing this, the assistant beside him slightly pursed his lips, thinking to himself, "I wish it were me."

The assistant thought to himself that if he had won first place in design back then, he might not know who would be whose assistant now.

Meanwhile, the assistant glanced at his email, checking if he had received a reply to the resume he had sent to Zhang Yu. He also wanted to switch jobs from Jin Jun's team to Zhang Yu's project team.

……

As news of Zhang Yu's award continues to spread.

Within the weapon crafting department, more and more people are downloading Zhang Yu's award-winning blueprints with different purposes such as envy, learning, finding fault, and analysis.

Zhang Yu paid no attention to the rumors circulating outside and continued to devote himself wholeheartedly to the forging of the Taihao Sacred Law Flying Sword.

Just now, he ended his call with Bai Zhenzhen.

To Zhang Yu's surprise, Bai Zhenzhen didn't ask too many questions about the Nascent Soul Dharma Body, rendering his prepared explanation useless.

Just then, accompanied by a surge of true fire, the sword embryo in front of them gradually transformed into the shape of a sword.

Before participating in the design competition, he had already completed the forging of his first level 20 Taihao Sacred Law Flying Sword. Now, to complete the sword formation, he needs to forge 11 more level 20 Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords.

Not long after, Zhang Yu, who was forging flying swords in the laboratory, received a Class B military certificate.

However, this time the certificate was not specially instructed by Magnetism True Lord, and the whole process was very low-key.

Aside from the military identification flashing in Zhang Yu's eyes, even the surrounding experimental assistants were unaware that Zhang Yu had already achieved another leap forward amidst this calm and uneventful situation.

With a thought, three military credentials appeared before Zhang Yu.

Looking at the three military certificates, Zhang Yu felt a sense of satisfaction from the inside out, and felt that his efforts over the past few years in college had not been in vain.

"Time rewards those who persevere; what a true testament to the power of hard work."

Shortly after receiving the military certificate, Zhang Yu's eyes flashed again. It was Magnetism True Monarch who sent him the electronic version of the secret manual "The Formless Heart Weapon of Heaven and Earth's Destruction".

After scanning through the contents of the manual, Zhang Yu was pleased to see that a new entry had been added to the manual: "Heaven and Earth Calamity: Formless Heart Weapon Level 0 (0/1)".

"With my talent, my speed in cultivating this technique will definitely not be slow."

"But the essence of this weapon-refining technique is Taoist magic, and the cost of cultivating it is quite high."

Having scanned the contents of the manual, Zhang Yu already knew the general outline of "The Formless Heart Weapon of Heaven and Earth's Destruction".

To cultivate this technique, one needs to collect all kinds of calamity energy from heaven and earth.

The so-called calamity energy can be collected during various natural disasters, as well as during man-made calamities.

In ancient times, just collecting all this calamity energy would have required a massive undertaking, taking decades and countless human and material resources.

But in Kunxu today, you can simply buy it with money.

However, because it is now Kunxu, the power of the "Heaven and Earth Calamity Formless Heart Weapon" has become increasingly vast after years of updates. In addition to a larger amount of calamity energy, it also requires more and more auxiliary materials to cultivate.

The more one invests in cultivation, the more wondrous the power becomes when the technique is activated, capable of unleashing various calamities such as wind, water, fire, and mental disturbances.

Looking at the description in the electronic manual, Zhang Yu thought to himself: "Wind disasters symbolize flow, which can enhance the spiritual energy flow of magical artifacts with ultra-high speed, or interfere with the spiritual energy flow of other people's magical artifacts."

"Fire symbolizes energy, which can enhance the power of magical artifacts, quickly restore their power, and even activate an overload mode, causing the power of magical artifacts to increase exponentially."

"Floods symbolize the nourishment of all things, and can temporarily transform ordinary grass, trees, bamboo and stones into magical treasures."

"The Heart Disaster is a major focus of the recent updates to the cultivation method, emphasizing the interconnection of all things and the integration of heaven and earth magic treasures."

Zhang Yu flipped through the pages and could see the follow-up introduction to "The Formless Heart Weapon of Heaven and Earth's Destruction," which described the development of this technique after level 20. It was said to directly reach the level 80 realm, achieving the interconnection of heaven and earth, where the atmosphere, spiritual energy, thoughts, memories... were all connected into one, creating the Wisdom Kunxu, the world of the mind.

What level this technique can ultimately reach is not what Zhang Yu is currently concerned about.

He is now more concerned about how many spirit coins it will cost to cultivate this technique to level 20.

Looking at the rows of cultivation requirements, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This cultivation technique is updated very frequently, and the cost of cultivation is getting more and more expensive every year." He shook his head helplessly and secretly estimated, "Cultivating the latest version of 'Heaven and Earth Destruction Formless Heart Weapon' to level 20 is a bit more expensive than I expected, probably costing around 300 spirit coins."

Zhang Yu then looked at the sword embryo beside him and thought to himself, "These next 11 flying swords will probably cost me another 200 spirit coins."

At the same time, a balance of 230 spirit coins appeared in Zhang Yu's eye sockets.

"During this period, in order to push the first Taihao Sacred Law Flying Sword to level 20, as well as the design competition, purchasing various blueprints, surveying college students, and hiring assistants... Although it cost a lot of spirit coins, fortunately I also earned a lot these days."

"Next, I'll continue working on the Taihao Sacred Law Sword Formation. After that, I'll cultivate the 'Heaven and Earth Destruction Calamity Formless Heart Weapon.' If we do the math..."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "It's already May. With my monthly income of over a hundred spirit coins, I'll definitely be able to raise the amount of spirit coins needed for this cultivation technique before the Top Ten Leagues in September."

"But if I could earn a few more spirit coins..."

Zhang Yu knew that one of the biggest reasons that had been limiting his cultivation speed was spirit coins.

Even with his unparalleled talent, he has to cultivate this "Heaven and Earth Destruction Formless Heart Weapon" technique because he lacks spiritual coins. The cultivation process will be interrupted due to the lack of spiritual coins.

"At present, it seems that there should be no major problem in completing the Taihao Sacred Law Sword Formation and the Heaven and Earth Calamity Formless Heart Weapon before September."

Zhang Yu thought of the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor: "But whether I can complete another military-grade weapon depends on whether I can earn more money."

Speaking of earning more spirit coins, Zhang Yu thought of the design blueprints he had. Judging from Mo Sha Zhenren's enthusiasm, it seemed that these blueprints could be sold for a sum of money.

He thought to himself, "I just don't know how many I can sell for."

Just then, Mo Sha Zhenren outside the laboratory sent a message.

Mo Sha Zhenren: Zhang Yu, how about adding profit sharing in addition to the patent fees?
Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened, and he thought to himself, "This is interesting."

Zhang Yu replied: Please elaborate.
……

Meanwhile, Mo Sha Zhenren, who was outside the laboratory, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Zhang Yu's reply.

He immediately replied cautiously.

After all, Zhang Yu in front of them was related to the performance of the investment management department and was also under the close attention of Taihe Zhenjun, so Mo Sha Zhenren could not afford to be careless.

If Zhang Yu were to suggest that he take a dual-restoration period, Mo Sha would definitely not dare to do so.

But if you asked him to kill someone, he would seriously consider it.

But if he were to lick the lips of a college student, he would have to be able to tell whether it was salty or bland.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yu no longer makes any demands on him.

"Zhang Yu is not someone who is easily appeased."

Recalling his interactions with Zhang Yu, he thought to himself, "Zhang Yu should have figured it out by now; his designs can fetch a good price."

Master Mo Sha thought to himself, "In his eyes, the Investment Management Office is probably just one of the buyers. He's waiting for the highest bidder to win."

Mo Sha Zhenren knew that Yun Yang Zhenren, a giant enterprise, was now in a hurry to talk to Zhang Yu about the design patent.

If the two parties were to make direct contact, it would be difficult for the investment management office to be involved, because the investment management office would not be able to offer better terms than the giant corporations.

"But this is a situation where we treat giant corporations as competitors."

What if we change the relationship?

"It's not that we're competing with giant corporations, but that we're fighting against giant corporations alongside Zhang Yu."

Master Mo Sha thought to himself, "This way, we can transform our business relationship with Zhang Yu into a mutually beneficial relationship on the same side."

Master Mo Sha replied: "Zhang Yu, according to my latest intelligence, Wan Dao Group wants to buy your design drawings."
Master Mo Sha: But if you're acting as a student, the Wan Dao Group has far too many ways to pressure you into lowering the price.

Master Mo Sha: Moreover, the negotiation process will consume a lot of your mental energy and time.
Master Mo Sha: My suggestion is... to let the school act as your agent and negotiate with Wan Dao Group on your behalf.

Master Mo Sha: We are confident we can help you negotiate a payment method that combines patent fees and profit sharing.

Master Mo Sha: This is a win-win situation.

Seeing that the other party had not replied to the message for a long time, but... Master Mo Sha believed that Zhang Yu would eventually agree.

After all, according to the intelligence he had gathered, Zhang Yu was not only in dire need of money, but was also a weapon-refining cultivator who spent all his time in the laboratory and was too lazy to even attend award ceremonies.

Among the departments at Wanfa University, the most suitable for negotiating with giant corporations is their investment management department. Whether it's discussing profit sharing, litigating, or other kinds of disputes, they are more suitable than Zhang Yu for this task.

In this respect, even Zhang Yu's master, Magnetism True Lord, cannot compare to them.

Zhang Yu provides the patents, and they provide protection, manpower, legal aid, negotiation assistance, and other resources to earn spirit coins from the giant companies.
