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

Chapter 594 Pre-match Advertising Placement

Originally, Zhang Yu had a huge sum of money in his hands and was focusing all his energy on the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor.

So, in the last month before the top ten leagues, he had absolutely no interest in coming to work on the construction site.

However, this time it was Director Gao who came to ask for help because Mo Shangjin has been preparing for graduate school, and there are more and more large-scale projects on the construction site, so he is too busy to handle everything at once and needs Zhang Yu to fill in for half a day.

Since it was Director Gao who personally invited him, Zhang Yu naturally wouldn't refuse.

Since the construction team consisted of demons, and Zhang Yu wanted their cooperation to avoid any discriminatory issues causing them to waste his time, he decided not to be too lenient.

According to some of his demon friends, being ruthless is far more effective than being polite when it comes to getting lower-level demons to obey; the more you scold them, the more obedient they become.

However, to avoid any discriminatory incidents, Zhang Yu asked Shi Yunxiang for help.

A rat demon glared angrily at Lion Cloud, shouting, "Lion demon! We are all of the same demon lineage, how can you help outsiders bully your own kind?"

"Same kind?" Lion Cloud Soar sneered, thinking to himself, "Let's not even talk about whether rat demons and lion demons are considered the same kind. Even if you are all lion demons, you are all my kind, and even if you were born from the same mother as me..."

"But Zhang Yu and I committed a shocking crime together and fought to the death together with the Golden Core cultivator of the Demonic Sect."

"Besides, he even gave me a raise!"

Zhang Yu, standing to the side, said, "Everyone..."

Lion Cloud Flying glared at the demons and then said, "You little beasts!"

Zhang Yu: "We've started work."

With his two military credentials, the prestige of being ranked first in the entire school, and the assistance of Shi Yunxiang, Zhang Yu mobilized the power of the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Art, and the demons on the scene cooperated in unison, managing to avoid causing any trouble.

After successfully completing the task, Zhang Yu made a grabbing motion from a distance, and with the activation of the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, he quickly flew towards the university town with Shi Yunxiang.

As he flew through the deserted skies, Zhang Yu looked at the peaceful land under a cloudless sky, and the bustling campuses that passed by. He thought to himself, "The scars left by the last economic crisis are finally being erased."

"The finance department at Wanfa University has also been temporarily suppressed by the teachers."

"The demon race isn't causing as much trouble anymore."

"The conspiracy of the 'Two-Day Cult' has failed and has been swept up by a joint operation across various regions. The inspection of the 'Two-Day Virus' has also gradually become routine."

"The civil engineering department has more and more projects, and the business is getting bigger and bigger."

"The ten universities controlled the intensity of the struggle, and there was no more war of transformation."

"The evil gods have no immediate plans to take any action; they've all gone into hiding..."

Zhang Yu felt that everything seemed to be developing in a positive direction, and the entire second floor of Kunxu appeared calm.

Having experienced the economic crisis caused by the Transformation Gods, Zhang Yu felt more deeply how important the opportunity for peaceful development was.

Hopefully, this calm will last a little longer.

……

Time flies, and it's already late August.

A glint seemed to flash in Zhang Yu's eyes; he had already retreated from the Taiqing territory.

After a period of intensive study and weapon-refining simulation, he has mastered all the knowledge and techniques needed to refine the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor.

"Besides enhancing physical performance, the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor's greatest ability is to condense water vapor, generate water fields, create torrents, and rapidly breed demonic beasts within these torrents, creating a vast aquatic army."

"If this were ancient times, wearing this Azure Crystal Armor would be equivalent to leading a large aquatic army that could fight and run, ready to engage in battle at any time."

"In modern times, these rapidly bred monsters wouldn't be suitable for fighting, but rather for making money."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Is this Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor just a portable breeding farm?"

"I don't know if aquaculture is profitable."

Zhang Yu was unfamiliar with aquaculture, but he could sense that the techniques contained within the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor were hidden within the technology for rapidly breeding a large aquatic army.

However, he still failed to extract it and form it into a martial art.

"Is it because we haven't mastered enough?"

Looking at the design drawings, Zhang Yu secretly speculated based on his current knowledge and skills: "Perhaps I need to master the blueprints of the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor to level 20, or actually forge the armor, wear it, and use my body to participate in its operation... only then will I have the opportunity to extract the cultivation technique from the technology."

"Then let's get started."

Zhang Yu glanced at Liu Xiangqiao, Zi Yunzhen, and other assistants who were ready to go, and walked over to begin refining the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor.

In the days that followed, Zhang Yu either practiced the crafting techniques for the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor in the Taiqing Realm or crafted the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor in reality. As his crafting skills improved rapidly, a magnificent suit of armor gradually took shape.

……

In early November.

In a conference room in the spirit world.

The school team's coach, An Zhenzhen, is introducing the team's participants to the advertisers.

"Zhang Yu, a disciple of the Magnetism True Monarch, defeated Bei Wufeng, the second-ranked weapon refiner, in a sword duel. He is skilled in both weapon refining and earth and wood engineering, and is adept at using weapon refining techniques to enhance earth and wood..."

As Anzhen Zhenjun introduced Zhang Yu, he could sense that the advertisers were not very interested in him.

In his view, this is quite normal, since the players with the highest potential for success in this top ten league are the ones most sought after by advertisers.

Products like Dao Qiankun, Jiutian Liu, and Yan Qianji are the main targets of advertisers this time.

"Ye Xingli is the third-ranked weapon refiner, specializing in artifact design and live-streaming e-commerce. With our investment and guidance, she already has 8 million followers..."

After Anzhen Zhenjun began introducing Ye Xingli, he could feel that the advertisers' attention had become much more focused.

Putting aside Ye Xingli's potential performance this time, her 800 million fans alone are enough to pique their interest.

However, after discovering that the 800 million followers were mainly college students and junior college students, advertisers' interest quickly waned.

……

Ye Xingli walked inside the weapon-refining factory.

With a surge of magical energy, pillars rose up and then unfolded with a roar, revealing set after set of magical remains within them. Looking at these sets of magical remains, a look of satisfaction appeared on Ye Xingli's face.

In her view, the struggle for immortality... is a struggle for the physical body.

As long as you defeat the opponent's physical body, you will be able to defeat the opponent.

She kept making videos, kept live-streaming to sell products, and kept earning money, finally completing the refining of these sets of magical remains before the competition.

Ye Xingli thought to herself, "My military-grade magic weapon and magic body have reached their control limit."

"To unleash greater strength and achieve better results, we need to target the different opponents from the top ten universities and equip different types of magical bodies against those opponents."

"In this year's Top Ten Leagues... I will never lose in the battle of the Dharma Body."

"This is another opportunity for my fans to surge."

……

Inside the spirit world conference room.

Anzhen Zhenjun continued, "Yan Qianji, the strongest student in the weapon crafting department, a personal disciple of the Myriad Transformations God, has been a member of the Heavenly Sun Radiance God's renewal group for three consecutive years..."

As Anzhen Zhenjun introduced himself, the advertisers' eyes seemed to light up one by one.

Someone immediately shouted, "I want the chest advertisement!"

Someone shouted, "I want the head-mounted advertisement!"

One of them contacted his superior while saying, "What about the Tianri Huangshen brand advertisement? We'll take it no matter the price."

……

In front of the puppet production line.

The Heavenly Sun God, radiating a unique black flame, stood proudly.

Yan Qianji sat on the shoulder of Tianri Huangshen, watching the various puppets being produced at high speed on the production line, a satisfied smile on his face.

"This year's top ten leagues are fantastic."

"If it weren't for the school's additional investment, my puppet production line wouldn't have been completed so easily."

……

Inside the spirit world conference room.

The projection of Jiutian Liu appeared directly.

He looked at the advertisers and smiled slightly, saying, "I will personally discuss my advertising with you."

Faced with the incredibly enthusiastic advertisers, Jiu Tianliu said, "A fixed price is impossible."

"Every one of my ads comes with a link."

"In addition to the slot fee, there must also be a tiered commission system..."

Although Jiutianliu's requirements were extremely demanding, it did not dampen the advertisers' enthusiasm in the slightest.

After all, according to many companies' predictions, Jiutianliu has the potential to be among the top ten in this year's top ten leagues, making it a target sought after by advertisers.

Once all of Jiutianliu's advertising slots were sold out and his figure disappeared, many advertisers turned their attention to Anzhen Zhenjun with covetous eyes.

"The last one left."

"All that's left is the Dao Qiankun..."

"We'll bid on it no matter the cost!"

If Jiutianliu is considered by many companies to be at least in the top ten, then Daoqiankun is at least in the top three, with the potential to compete for first place.

Among the budgets of many advertisers, the advertising expenditure on Dao Qiankun could be ten times that of Jiu Tian Liu!
But faced with the eager eyes of numerous advertisers, Anzhen Zhenjun gave a wry smile and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, everyone."

Dao Qiankun refuses to sell advertising space.

"He said……"

"He doesn't need spirit coins."

……

In the meditation room.

The cold voice of the artifact spirit rang out.

"The 9876th attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage begins..."

As each spiritual circuit opened, spiritual energy, almost tangible, surged forth and converged towards Dao Qiankun's location.

With a crackling sound, like thunderclaps exploding, the blinding golden light gradually dissipated from Dao Qiankun's body.

The spirit calmly reported, "The attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage has failed."

Dao Qiankun casually tossed out a dark, round bead and said indifferently, "This one has been used for so long, it can't hold on any longer. Have someone replace it."

As Dao Qiankun allowed the puppet to recycle the discarded golden core, he looked at his new record.

"Very good. Before the top ten leagues, I will complete the record of 1 Golden Elixir Inch Stops."

"I... will be the strongest below the Golden Core stage!"

"The Heavens Overturn..."

His gaze fell directly on the Golden Core in front of him, and then on the person who ranked first in the simulated benchmark.

At this moment, on the Golden Core Seed Ranking, he surpassed Kuang Tianqing with a high score of 52, taking the top spot.

But Dao Qiankun understood that this was by no means their true strength. At this moment, Kuang Tianqing must also be like him, constantly surpassing himself with the full support of the school.
