Am I going to be controlled by the players too?

The brick piles stand tall, and the blazing sun hangs high in the sky.

Tong Chuxue stood in the center of the construction site, tens of thousands of blue bricks suspended in mid-air, densely packed and arranged in a square formation. The wind swept by, carrying sand and dust, but the bricks and stones remained motionless, and more and more were constantly appearing!

100,000 yuan, 150,000 yuan, 200,000 yuan...

In the blink of an eye, all the bricks, building materials, and steel bars on the entire construction site were lifted up by the girl alone, densely packed and blotting out the sky!

Xiao Chunan stopped applying the glue, and the glue gun in her hand fell to the ground with a thud. Wang Zhiming looked at the girl with a mysterious "I knew it" expression and pulled down his mask. Only the counselor took a half step back, his eyes full of shock: "This, this magic weapon can actually move hundreds of thousands of bricks and building materials as easily as an arm. It's simply a Nascent Soul Heavenly Treasure, no, it's a Divine Transformation Divine Treasure!"

These blue bricks are not ordinary bricks. In order to build air defense facilities, each brick was filled with mithril filings, and each brick weighed six or seven kilograms. Tong Chuxue alone lifted more than 200,000 bricks, as well as countless other building materials, with a total weight of more than 1,500 tons!

Such power is something that even the Gold Ancestor might not be able to achieve, let alone Silver!

"How could a mere college graduate possess such a powerful magical artifact?!" Xiao Chunan asked in bewilderment.

"Could it be that the Jinling First Saint Demonic Sect hasn't declined as much as rumored?" The counselor muttered to himself, recalling Tong Chuxue's identity. "Perhaps this magical artifact is a family heirloom of the First Saint Demonic Sect... Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; the Demonic Sect's foundation is terrifyingly powerful!"

The Chu Sheng Demonic Sect is long gone. The former number one power in Jinling can't even last three months with its cash flow. It's no secret in the industry that the company is about to go bankrupt.

The counselor works for a company affiliated with the university and is also a civil engineering teacher; he knows these things better than anyone else.

But what I'm seeing now...

He looked up at Tong Chuxue, who was stacking bricks and building materials to the designated location: the girl was thin, her school uniform was washed and faded, and a few strands of sweaty black hair were showing from the edge of her safety helmet. She seemed ordinary, but she had the ability to move mountains and fill seas, and her work efficiency was comparable to dozens of large transport machines!

Tong Chuxue's magical fluctuations were only at the level of an ordinary college student!

What does this mean? It means that the ring can unleash power surpassing that of gold without needing magic!

In the past, the Golden Ancestor of the Demonic Sect was based in Jinling, with Silver Immortals in command, and his businesses spanned three cities. After the Empress issued the order to crack down on organized crime, the Ancestor was captured, the Immortals scattered, and the vast family business collapsed overnight. Everyone thought that the First Saint was finished.

but no.

They possess this ring, which is comparable to a divine treasure of the Nascent Soul stage. With it, the Chu Sheng family will be invincible in the construction industry!

The counselor's only question was: why would the Chu Sheng family entrust such a precious magical artifact to this good-for-nothing who only got into a junior college? Why not use the artifact to contract out business and make money to cover the losses? Could it be that this girl wasn't as ordinary as everyone thought?

"But... if she's not ordinary and possesses such a powerful weapon, why did she only get into a junior college?"

"A good junior college is no worse than a bachelor's degree!" the counselor immediately retorted. "Maybe she saw the future potential of the civil engineering department?"

Wang Zhiming pulled down his mask, making a slight guess: "It must be the civil service group causing trouble."

The crowd immediately began to discuss the matter.

The blue bricks still hung in the air, blocking half of the sunlight. The construction site was quiet, with only the dull thud of the pile driver in the distance.

Tong Chuxue lowered her arm, and tens of thousands of blue bricks slowly fell to the ground, stacking into neat square piles. She patted the dust off her hands and walked towards the next pile of building materials.

With Cheng Cheng's help, her work efficiency surpassed that of tens of thousands of people. She finished processing all the bricks and building materials in just a few minutes and suddenly had no work to do!

The girl instinctively took out her phone, connected it to her helmet, and checked her work report for the day:

"420,000 bricks, 780 bundles of steel bars, and 351 tons of cement have been moved."

Work efficiency rating: SSS

"Daily settlement: 170,000 credits."

With a work efficiency exceeding that of dozens of large cranes in just a few minutes, he directly earned 320,000 credit points, which is equivalent to half a lifetime's income for many workers.

Tong Chuxue was overjoyed and whispered her gratitude to her divine master in the ring.

"Don't thank me, 90% of this money is mine, you can only take 30,000 at most."

Cheng Cheng yawned inside the ring.

"Master, you're amazing!" Tong Chuxue was now completely convinced of Cheng Cheng's legendary status. "Thirty thousand is a lot. I probably couldn't earn that much in a year if I did it myself!"

"Is that impressive?" Cheng Cheng grinned crookedly. "I have even more amazing skills that I haven't shown you yet!"

"Really? I want to see! I want to see!"

Tong Chuxue was filled with anticipation.

Under the girl's anticipation and flattery, Cheng Cheng couldn't help but get a little carried away. He smiled at Tong Chuxue and said, "Then I'll grant you special permission to show you my skills!"

Tong Chuxue nodded repeatedly.

To the astonishment of the counselor, steel rods flew up under the girl's control. She then shouted, "Fire!" and black flames descended from the sky to melt the steel. She then shouted, "Electricity!" and lightning struck down, welding the building materials and instantly completing a week's worth of welding work on the construction site!

Burning at the stake! Lightning!

Using fire for iron smelting and welding is such a drastic and overwhelming approach that Tong Chuxue exclaimed in shock as she looked at the work report on her phone: "It's full... so many credit points! I feel like my bank card limit is already full, and I have so many credit points that they're about to overflow!"

As the eldest daughter of Chusheng Construction Co., Ltd., Tong Chuxue is not unfamiliar with construction site business and work; she has even experienced life on a construction site before.

But now, in her eyes, what kind of work was that before?

Working with her master was so easy! She had worked for so many years, but she felt more happy than she was at this moment!

"This is nothing! There are many other tricks, do you want to try them all?" Cheng Cheng laughed heartily.

Tong Chuxue nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that Tong Chuxue was about to continue working, the counselor, students, and workers finally panicked and rushed forward to plead, "Please, Tong Chuxue, you're rolling up too much stuff! We can't take it anymore. This construction site isn't used to rolling up so much stuff. Before you came, we were always slacking off, but now you're rolling up too much stuff!"

"Yes, you work so hard! One minute of your work is equivalent to a whole day's work for me. If you keep doing this, we'll have no work to do!"

"Lady Tong Chuxue, you've done all our work, so what are we supposed to do? What use are we? Aren't we going to get laid off by the higher-ups?"

Huh? Did we do too much?

Tong Chuxue hesitated. She felt that since the work was paid by the piece, it was only right for her to do more work since she was capable.

"...Besides, I can't possibly finish all the work by myself." Tong Chuxue said seriously to her coworkers, "Why don't you all try your best to take the work back from me?"

"No, that's too difficult!" the coworker said. "Even if we rent magical artifacts, we still can't keep up with your speed!"

"Oh? So you find work difficult when you're working?" Tong Chuxue tilted her head. "But work is completely different for me, you know? If you can accept it, then keep watching."

After saying that, he continued to immerse himself in his work!

Bricklaying! Wall building! Welding! Plastering!

Waterproofing! Reinforcing steel! Plumbing and electrical work! Plastering!

Under Cheng Cheng's legendary power, working on a small construction site is a piece of cake!

"Please, don't take my job away! No, don't do it so fast! It doesn't like it when it's fast!"

"It's too curly! It's way too curly!"

"I can give you money, please let me keep working!"

The workers wept bitterly.

At this moment, in the eyes of her fellow workers, Tong Chuxue was no longer an ordinary college student—every movement and every glance of hers seemed to be born for carrying bricks; every speech she gave and every use of her magical artifacts was equivalent to dozens of large civil engineering machines; an earth-shattering pressure of performance emanated from her, as if she were to complete all the work in the world.

She's practically the Queen of Civil Engineering!

When they saw that the jobs that originally belonged to them were taken away by her, and were handled by her in a way that was much better and faster than their own, the coworkers were completely devastated.

Seeing the pleading expressions on the faces of her fellow workers, Tong Chuxue sighed and finally stopped.

With such great power, Master can make money anywhere, so there's no need for him to stick to this construction site; besides, all the workers have families to support, and one person can't do everyone's work.

"Sigh, it's the livelihood of millions of migrant workers again..." Wang Zhiming shook his head at the sight. "That despicable civil service group is using this trick again to slow down the project, just to make more money... The civil service group's desire to destroy our empire is still alive and well!"

…………

Gradually, it got dark.

The construction site operates on a two-shift system. Even if the workers wanted to continue working, the foreman would pull them off their posts and force them to leave.

The workers put down their tools, took off their hard hats, and walked towards the canteen in twos and threes. The students gathered at the entrance of the construction site, wiping their sweat and staring at the payment notifications on their phones. Some excitedly patted their companions on the shoulder, while others planned where to have a good meal that evening.

"I heard that doing civil engineering involves a lot of massage work." Xiao Chunan was excited as he held his several hundred yuan in wages for the day. "Wang Zhiming, want to go challenge the Hehuan Demon Sect together?"

"No, thank you." Wang Zhiming shook his head. "I need to go back and study stocks, funds, and imperial history. You and Tong Chuxue go ahead."

"But Boss Ke Tong is a girl!"

Xiao Chunan was disappointed. Although he longed for it, he didn't dare to do it without someone to guide him.

"Speaking of which, Boss Tong's work efficiency was off the charts today, he must have earned hundreds of thousands of credits!" Xiao Chunan said with a smile. "We're in the same group, how about we have dinner together to celebrate..."

"It might not work."

Tong Chuxue looked at the notification on her phone, her face turning ashen.

The work report system showed that I earned a total of 980,000 credits today, but I couldn't withdraw them for some unknown reason!

Wang Zhiming and Xiao Chunan peeked over and were immediately at a loss. Xiao Chunan comforted them, "Maybe the boss earned too much and the cashier needs time to calculate it?"

"No, I suspect it was the civilian government that did it..."

Regardless, we must find out the truth.

If it's a bank transfer for salary payments, and you have too much money and get scrutinized, that's one thing—you can just wait. But what if you encounter salary arrears…

Then let the construction site see what she's been suppressing for years!

Tong Chuxue walked towards the cashier's office. Wang Zhiming and Xiao Chunan exchanged a glance, worried that Tong Chuxue might do something irreversible due to severe salary pressure, and followed behind her.

The cashier was a middle-aged woman wearing silver-rimmed glasses. She looked down at the terminal, tapped a few keys on the keyboard, and then said, "Tong Chuxue, right? This money of yours..."

"You can't pay this money."

A voice came from the side.

Wearing a gold safety helmet, a white shirt, and sleeves rolled up to his elbows, he was the person in charge of the school-enterprise partnership, surnamed Cao, whom the workers all called General Manager Cao.

He had a smile on his face, followed by two foremen.

The cashier and other employees quickly stood up and bowed. General Manager Cao, without any ceremony, plopped down in the cashier's leather chair, holding a stack of printed papers, and leisurely flipped through them.

“Article 19, Paragraph 3 of the Imperial Special Magical Instruments Management Regulations—” He tapped the paper with his fingertip, “Unverified special magical instruments shall not be used in national-level projects. Violators shall have their illegal gains confiscated and be fined twice the amount of the illegal gains.”

After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at Tong Chuxue across the desk:

"Where did you get this ring?"

Tong Chuxue was slightly taken aback, but did not answer.

Mr. Cao smiled, leaned back in his chair, and tapped his fingers twice on the armrest:

“Young lady, I know your family has some connections. The First Saint Demonic Sect, a well-established name in Jinling.” He paused, “But this is a society governed by law now, the Demonic Sect’s methods don’t work anymore. If you don’t report or inspect this stuff, and an accident happens on the construction site, who will be responsible?”
