Chapter 519: Dragged into Soul Cultivation (Thanks to 'Geineer' for rewarding the leader)
True Lord Lei Ji is a being whose body is shaped like glass, without a trace of flesh and blood on his body.
This is because almost 99% of his flesh and blood have been replaced with magic weapons.
There are countless spiritual energy circuits all around connected to Master Lei Ji from the ground and walls, transmitting a large amount of inspiration and information.
Layers of light from the formation enveloped him, making it difficult to see the details on his body.
It is said that the real body of this True Lord Lei Ji sits in the office all year round and almost never goes out. He only travels through the spiritual world with his thoughts and projects himself to various places.
In Zhang Yu's eyes, the other person's motionless appearance made him look more like a statue in a temple than a living person.
Zhang Yu knew that Master Lei Ji followed the magic weapon school of the weapon refining system, which was also the old antique school that Feng Tingting had mentioned before. They viewed flesh and blood as backward, believed that Dharma skeletons were evil, and insisted that the transformation of humans into magic weapons should be the future direction of advancement for the immortals.
Zhang Yu did not comment on this theory. After all, his level of knowledge in the way of immortality and refining equipment was not enough to evaluate whether it was good or bad.
What Zhang Yu is worried about now is: "Will this Master Lei Ji discriminate against human beings?"
Zhang Yu recalled several incidents of discrimination he had encountered after coming to the Equipment Refining Department. These were either because of his original civil engineering student status or because of his original physical body.
"In the weapon refining department, the law skeleton faction discriminates against the original flesh body. Those with more law skeletons discriminate against those with fewer law skeletons. Those with expensive law skeletons despise those with cheap law skeletons. And the magic weapon faction discriminates against both law skeletons and flesh bodies."
"Isn't this Master Lei Ji delaying my payment for the project because he is discriminating against me?"
Just as thoughts were pouring out of Zhang Yu's mind, Master Lei Ji spoke.
The mouth on the glass-like face could not be seen moving, but the vibration in the air had already formed a sound that rang in Zhang Yu's ears.
"Zhang Yu, what do you want?"
Zhang Yu smiled politely and said, "It's about the project payment..."
Lei Ji Zhenjun said coldly: "I told you not to urge me again, didn't I?"
Zhang Yu explained: "Master, our company is small and has difficulty in turnover. I am currently paying for all the employees' salaries..."
Master Lei Ji said calmly, "Who doesn't pay some money when doing a project? You can't do it? If you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, leave."
Zhang Yu was stunned. Just as he was thinking about how to point out his identity as the disciple of Master Ciji, so as to prevent the other party from flooding the Dragon King Temple, he heard Master Leiji continue, "I know you are Master Ciji's new disciple."
"But whoever comes to my place must follow the same rules."
Zhang Yu said: "Uncle Master..."
Master Lei Ji: "Who told you to call me uncle? I don't care about personal relationships here. Wanfa University is ruined because of this kind of thing."
After saying that, a cold snort sounded in Zhang Yu's ears like a thunder, making Zhang Yu feel a little dizzy.
Lei Ji Zhenjun continued, "As long as I follow the procedures, you will get the project payment you deserve."
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, just go ahead and don't stay here and affect my work."
Zhang Yu walked out of the office with a gloomy face, thinking to himself: "Is what Master Lei Ji said true or false? Is there such an iron-faced and selfless leader in Kunxu?"
"Do you want to ask Master for help?"
Zhang Yu shook his head. He decided not to act rashly until he had a clear understanding of the whole situation.
After all, he didn't know the extent of the relationship between Master Ci Ji and Master Lei Ji, and he didn't know whether Master Ci Ji had any interests in this.
When he wanted to get some information, the first person Zhang Yu thought of was naturally Zhang Pianpian, followed by the weapon-refining student Feng Tingting, and finally his senior sister Ye Xingli.
Shortly after Zhang Yu asked, a response popped up on the eye shell.
The first person to reply to him was Feng Tingting.
Feng Tingting: You're not going there in your original body, are you?
Zhang Yu: Yes, you know I only have this body, what else can I wear if not this?
Feng Tingting: Master Lei Ji is a well-known stubborn person in the department, the one who insists on the theory of magic weapon only.
Feng Tingting: In his class, even a dog passing by has to be put in a magic collar
Feng Tingting: How can he like you when you go there with your fat body?
Looking at Feng Tingting's reply, Zhang Yu thought to himself that Master Lei Ji was indeed a human discriminator.
Just after Zhang Yu thanked Feng Tingting for telling him the news, the other party said again: Zhang Yu, when can we rent a laboratory together and refine equipment together?
Feng Tingting: Sigh, ever since I started studying civil engineering, fewer and fewer people in the Equipment Refining Department are willing to pay attention to me...
Looking at Feng Tingting's answer, Zhang Yu sighed in his heart that Feng Tingting and he might be the ones who are most likely to be viewed with tinted glasses in the weapon refining department.
At this moment, Ye Xingli also sent a message.
Ye Xingli: Did you give the money?
Zhang Yu: Give money?
Ye Xingli: I really don’t know whether the Civil Engineering Department spoiled you too much in the past, or you are really ignorant.
Ye Xingli: The so-called equipment refining department is just a few floors and a few laboratories. The money still needs to be earned separately.
Ye Xingli: With so many projects and so many engineering works, who will come first and who will come later, who will have more and who will have less, and how to divide them?
Zhang Yu: Then I should transfer the money directly to Master Lei Ji?
Ye Xingli: Master Lei Ji is upright and a stickler for rules. He will not take your money directly.
Ye Xingli: [Bian Hao] This is Master Lei Ji's student, go find him.
Looking at the business card sent by Ye Xingli, Zhang Yu thought to himself: "After all this, it's still a matter of money."
Zhang Yu added Bian Hao and explained his purpose. After some discussion, the other party sent him a donation link.
"Public Welfare Laboratory?" Zhang Yu looked at the content on the link and suddenly became annoyed: "10 spirit coins?"
"Fuck... My pre-tax engineering payment is only over 20 spirit coins. After distributing it to my employees and paying taxes, I can only make a dozen spirit coins at most. Why are they asking me for 10 spirit coins all of a sudden?"
Zhang Yu took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and replied to Bian Hao asking if he could give less.
Bian Hao: Junior, it is not up to me to decide how much money is paid.
Bian Hao: Everyone donated a lot, so those who donated less couldn't get a number.
Bian Hao: If you donate too little, I'm afraid your donation will be in vain.
Bian Hao: In the final analysis, if you don’t do it, there are plenty of people who will. If you don’t donate, there are plenty of people who will.
Zhang Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes: "It's all rolled up?"
Looking at the donation link of 10 spirit coins, Zhang Yu did the math in his mind.
Of his current stable monthly income, the largest portion is the 40 spirit coins subsidy from the laboratory, followed by the 30 spirit coins reimbursement from the company of Magnet Master and Director Gao, followed by the repayment of more than 10 spirit coins from his sister, and the monthly subscription of 10 spirit coins from Wen Wuya...
Originally, Zhang Yu thought that the civil engineering projects in the Equipment Refining Department could also become a stable source of income every month in the future.
But now it seems that not only is it unstable, but after deducting the donations, the money earned is far less than expected.
Looking at the numbers appearing on his eyes, Zhang Yu cursed in his heart: "Damn it, in the end, I can earn 40 spirit coins from fraud every month, 30 spirit coins can be reimbursed by using connections, more than 10 spirit coins can be recovered from family loans, and 10 spirit coins can be earned from rewards from rich people."
"And after working hard for more than three years to accumulate civil engineering strength, gather a bunch of technology and magic weapons, and hire a bunch of employees, in the end you earn the least?"
Zhang Yu also thought that it would be better not to do the civil engineering project of the equipment refining department.
But if you think about it, you will know that it is not possible.
On the one hand, there are so many mouths to feed in the company, and on the other hand, although his income is high now, he also has many places to spend money. Every extra money he makes from the civil engineering project of the refiner is very important to him.
Zhang Yu sighed inwardly: "If you want to gather a genius in refining equipment, you have to rely on the number of times to stack up the level of the refining skills."
"Alas, to practice 10 weapon-refining techniques to level 20 in a few months is equivalent to practicing 10 Taoist arts to level 20..."
"Not to mention that normal weapon refiners don't spend money like me, I'm afraid there are not many people in the Taoism department who can spend money like me."
Zhang Yu knew that most weapon refiners could not practice as many weapon refinement techniques as he did. They usually chose their own specialization and would hire others when they were needed.
Just like Zi Yunzhen had hired him to use the Dragon Vein Treasure Forging Technique to strengthen the Five Elements Flag.
"If I just want to burn money to gather a genius in refining equipment, it's fine. The money I earn now can afford it, and I can save some spirit coins every month, but I still have to prepare for military-grade magic weapons next."
After Zhang Yu knew that the weapon-refining geniuses had gathered together, he would then begin preparing to refine the prototype of the Tianri Huangshen.
It costs a lot to refine the prototype of this military-grade magic weapon, from the early technical preparations, to the purchase of materials, and to the rental of various equipment and laboratories.
Zhang Yu and Fu Ji had calculated the cost before, and it would cost at least 300 spirit coins.
If certain losses and mistakes are taken into account, it is not impossible that the price will eventually increase to 500 spirit coins.
And how many of these projects can perfectly meet the budget and not go over budget?
The more Zhang Yu thought about where he would need the money next, the more he wanted to make money.
"They say that 1,000 spirit coins are enough to reach the Golden Core stage, but if I want to win the top ten leagues and enter a sect, how can ordinary Golden Core satisfy me?"
Just as Zhang Yu was thinking about it, his sister Zhang Pianpian also replied.
Zhang Pianpian: This Lei Ji Zhenjun delayed a lot of project payments, bankrupted many companies, and dragged out hundreds of soul cultivators.
Zhang Yu: So there is no way to solve this problem?
Zhang Pianpian replied with a sigh: If this were ancient times hundreds of years ago, I would definitely advise you to forget it.
Zhang Pianpian: But in this era, as long as he is in Kunxu, as long as he is still in the university sequence system, whether he is a golden elixir or a primordial infant, he needs to act according to the rules.
Zhang Pianpian: Within the rules, he can suppress you without any words
Zhang Pianpian: But if he breaks the rules, even if he is a Yuanying Zhenjun, he will still be struck by thunder.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu replied thoughtfully: What you mean is... he broke the rules?
Zhang Pianpian: I haven't found out what it is specifically, but judging from the information available, this person definitely has a huge mine under him.
Zhang Yu: Why?
Zhang Pianpian: Have you ever thought about the fact that other companies spend so much money, or even more than you, so how do they make the money back?
