Chapter 449: The Five Wonders (Thanks to '爱上fiji' for sending Bai Zhenzhen 10 pairs of stockings)
The chaos caused by the Qiongjiang Coin lasted for several days in Wanfa City.
But perhaps it was because university life was too fulfilling, or perhaps people had too many issues to worry about, the chaos in the university town gradually subsided after a few days.
The streets are still filled with people, the construction sites are still bustling with activity, and the various scars caused by the financial crisis on the city have been repaired overtime.
The entire university town seemed as busy as usual. Whether it was on people's faces or on the streets... there was no trace of the financial crisis.
This even gave Zhang Yu an illusion, as if the financial crisis had never happened.
Only when Zhang Yu looked at the withdrawal information in the class group and the decreasing number of people, could he truly feel that all this was not an illusion. Not only had the financial crisis come, but it also brought many people from the material world to the spiritual world.
At this moment, news came from the Songyang fellow villagers group that Hu Yuntao's memorial service had begun.
Zhang Yu clicked on it and saw Hu Yuntao's black and white portrait floating in front of his eyes. He said, "Everyone, I'm sorry to bother you. I asked everyone to come to my farewell party."
"I was born on the first floor, in the breeding base of Songyang City's protected area. I was admitted to Hongta High School at the age of 18, and Tianyao University at the age of 20. I worked hard all my life, but in the end, I did not die peacefully. I was filled with pain, unwillingness and regret."
"They say the first year after death is the most important year. I hope everyone can take care of me if they have business..."
Listening to Hu Yuntao's speech, Zhang Yu shook his head with emotion. This was not the first memorial service in the spirit world that he had attended.
Usually it is hosted by the deceased himself, who reminisces about the past and promotes his soul cultivation business to his fellow villagers and classmates, hoping to get more job opportunities after his death.
"The immortal path is impermanent."
Watching these things happen, Zhang Yu could only secretly remind himself that he must be cautious at every step on the path to immortality and must not participate in things like cryptocurrency speculation without reliable insider information.
Arriving at the construction site, he continued to work while practicing the Dragon Vein Sensing Chapter.
After these days of training at the construction site, Zhang Yu has already pushed this martial art to level 19.
After he had worked for a while, Feng Tingting sent a message: Zhang Yu, have you heard? Ping Han from your department stayed at Hehuan University to work and pay back the money.
Zhang Yu had already blocked Ping Han and really didn't know the other party's situation.
Hearing what Feng Tingting said, Zhang Yu asked curiously: What kind of job can he do at Hehuan University?
Feng Tingting sent a photo: [Phallic] No... Zhang Yu cursed in his heart, "Why the hell did you send this to me? Harassment, right? Do you still have any sense of boundaries between classmates?"
But Feng Tingting's next sentence shocked Zhang Yu.
Feng Tingting: This is Ping Han
Zhang Yu: Ah?
Feng Tingting: This is what he posted on his WeChat Moments. Didn’t you see it? He still has to attend the next fellow practitioner conference.
Zhang Yu: What happened? Feng Tingting: After the high-intelligence spirit went berserk, Hehuan University was short of a large number of spirits. Feng Tingting: And there was a distrust of high-intelligence spirits.
Feng Tingting: So after a new batch of Yin instruments were produced, a group of soul cultivators were recruited to temporarily serve as instrument spirits. Feng Tingting: This is Ping Han
Feng Tingting: To be precise, [genitals] this is Ping Han
Zhang Yu looked at the circled part in the picture and was shocked: Huh? Feng Tingting: This is a high-level genital organ. How can Ping Han control it alone?
Feng Tingting reminded again: By the way, Ping Han is looking for people to borrow money now, don't lend it to him, he can't pay it back.
Feng Tingting: If he still hasn't redeemed his body by the end of the tenth year, he probably won't be able to graduate.
Feng Tingting: At that time, maybe we can only take the route of "undergraduate to junior college". Zhang Yu knows that the so-called "undergraduate to junior college" route is a joke. It belongs to the contestants who cannot graduate from the top ten and end up getting a junior college diploma. After all, for many junior colleges, even the talents eliminated from the top ten are also very coveted by them.
After closing the conversation with Feng Tingting, Zhang Yu felt even more sad, and was once again glad that he did not fall into the trap of Qiongjiang Coin because of his momentary greed.
…
Ji Yuanshu looked at the repayment reminders that kept popping up in his eyes, and his whole body slowly fell to the ground.
“I can only continue to seek help from the evil god.”
"The evil god must have a way to save me."
Just as he was thinking about what to do next, several notifications appeared in front of him. Before he could read the content of the notifications clearly, a call came from outside the door.
Looking at the patrolman outside the door, just when he was confused, he heard the other party say: "Have you been contacting this person online?"
Looking at the content projected by the other party, Ji Yuanshu's heart sank, because the other party's portrait was exactly the evil god he had always been in contact with in the spiritual world.
Just when Ji Yuanshu thought he had been caught for believing in the evil god, he heard the patrolman in front of him say: "This person is suspected of recruiting believers in the name of the evil god and committing fraud, with as many as hundreds of victims."
"This time, because of the collapse of Qiongjiang Coin, his flaws were discovered."
"When we searched his chat history, we found that you were also fooled..."
Ji Yuanshu gradually couldn't hear clearly what the other party said next. Only one sentence kept echoing in his mind: "Fraud? Being fooled?"
"Impossible! I performed a ritual and gained luck!"
"How could it be a scam?"
Just as Ji Yuanshu was in shock, the patrolman continued, "Do you have time? Come back with us and make a statement."
When he came out of the Inspection Bureau, Ji Yuanshu was still in a daze, and what the inspection team members said kept coming to his mind.
"This fraudster is a finance graduate, but he has no background or resources, and he committed fraud just to make money."
"We have recovered some of the stolen money and will return it to you. You can keep it for yourself."
"When you go back, study hard and work overtime. Don't have unrealistic dreams. Evil gods are just deceptive urban legends. Don't believe them."
Looking at the returned portion of the stolen money, Ji Yuanshu felt that the whole process was like a dream.
However, with this small amount of spiritual coins, he no longer needs to practice soul cultivation and can continue to live as a human being, but he has to be a real poor person.
But Ji Yuanshu still felt a strong sense of something being wrong about the whole incident. He was like a chess piece in some bigger game, but everything in front of him was shrouded in a layer of fog, making it difficult for him to see clearly what was happening.
…
Ping Han: "Brother Yu, I was wrong!"
Ping Han: "Please forgive me."
Ping Han: "I'll kowtow to you right now! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Ping Han: "Please lend me some money..."
Listening to the apology voice message that Ping Han sent using another account, Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly and silently chose to block him.
He heard that Ping Han was now looking for people to borrow money everywhere, and even the freshmen who were practicing Qi Refining were not spared.
Just then, Zhang Yu heard laughter from the side. He turned around and saw Yu Xinghan with a look of happiness and fear on his face.
Before the Qiongjiang Coin collapsed this time, Yu Xinghan made a small profit of 12 spirit coins, and finally withdrew in time, so he escaped unscathed.
Looking at Zhang Yu's eyes, Yu Xinghan couldn't help but say, "It's really exciting to snatch the spirit coins and run away under the big hand of the God of Transformation."
He sighed, "But if I come again next time, I'm afraid I won't dare to do it."
Zhang Yu shook his head: "Be careful, it's best not to touch this thing."
A moment later, Zhang Yu arrived at the construction site on the 669th floor and met Director Gao.
Director Gao said, "The seven civil engineering tests I'm going to give you are very simple. You just need to complete the floor in front of you within one hour."
Listening to Director Gao's request, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this backdoor was really outrageous. Finishing one floor in one hour would be considered passing?
But if it was me who took the backdoor? That would be fine.
After easily passing the test assigned by Director Gao, Zhang Yu was awarded the fifth ultimate skill of civil engineering - turning the ground into steel.
This is a skill that can use magic power and internal energy to temporarily increase the strength of mud and sand, and even turn the earth into a weapon.
In addition, Zhang Yu is also eligible to purchase a magic corpse, called the Earth-shaking Steel Wave, which is a magic corpse specially used to cooperate with the finger-turning-the-ground-into-steel skill.
Zhang Yu had no interest in the purchasing qualification, so he asked another question: "Teacher, can I buy the blueprint of this Dharma Relic?"
Director Gao: “Drawings?”
Zhang Yu said, "I was thinking... if I ask the students in the Refining Department to help me refine this Dharmakaya, would it be much cheaper?"
Director Gao nodded slightly and said, "That's fine, but you can only buy the rights for small-scale private customization, not large-scale commercial production..."
When Director Gao was halfway through his words, he laughed and shook his head. How could Zhang Yu engage in large-scale commercial production? Zhang Yu looked at the blueprint he had purchased and thought to himself, "It involves three refining techniques that I haven't mastered yet. For the time being, I can't directly learn the contents of this blueprint."
Although Zhang Yu did not plan to equip the Dharma Skeleton, he was still very interested in mastering the drawings and production capabilities of this Dharma Skeleton.
On the one hand, he wanted to transform this Dharma body into a magic weapon in the future to complement his own Seven Wonders of Earth and Wood.
On the other hand...
"If I really encounter a critical moment and need to improve my combat power..." Zhang Yu thought to himself: "Then I can temporarily install the Dharma Skeleton to temporarily improve my combat power, that's not impossible."
"At worst, we can just put the peeled body parts back after we're done using them."
After Director Gao taught Zhang Yu the skill of turning the ground into steel, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have already discussed with another professor. Next month, I will arrange for you to take another test of the seven civil engineering items. If you succeed, you can practice the sixth skill of turning earth into gold."
Zhang Yu couldn't help but nod excitedly when he heard that. Unknowingly, the day when he would gather Tian Kunlun's divine power to move mountains was getting closer and closer.
Director Gao then added, "Next month, you will follow Mo Enjin to participate in the inter-school league."
"However, two guys in Mo Enjin's team saw their worth plummet due to the Qiongjiang Coins. They sold a lot of their magic corpses and are no longer strong enough to continue participating in the competition."
"I'm currently recruiting new people. If you have any recommendations, you can tell me."
