Chapter 550: Five Taxes on Heaven and Man (asking for monthly ticket)
"After becoming a true god, Zhang Pianpian's tiny memories became like a fleeting experience in a dream to her. They were too insignificant and insignificant to be mentioned."
"Whether it's for you or Zhang Pianpian, by then... she will just be a righteous god with Zhang Pianpian's memories."
"The real Zhang Pianpian is considered dead."
"Or rather... your sister has already died a long time ago, and she is no longer the sister you knew since childhood."
Zhang Yu was slightly surprised when he heard this, but did not answer.
But he knew in his heart that for him, a soul from Earth, the sister he knew was the sister after high school, the Zhang Pianpian of today. What happened to the Zhang Pianpian in the past... was not important to him.
And the future Zhang Pianpian... is not something he can control at the moment.
Only by becoming richer and more powerful can he participate in it.
Looking at Zhang Yu's calm appearance, Fu Ji nodded slightly, thinking that this boy has indeed matured.
After listening to Fu Ji's speculation, Zhang Yu had another question in his mind: "Reincarnation... Gods can inherit memories, authority, and resources to reincarnate, but what about others?"
He recalled the information the Heretic God and his companions had relayed: "If a person is reincarnated, can't their cultivation be inherited? Is that why they need the help of the Qiongjiang Divine Lord? To secretly transfer the cultivation of the reincarnated people within the sect?"
Fu Ji chuckled: "Reincarnation is of course very different from reincarnation."
"High-ranking righteous gods can inherit their past authority, memories, and resources after reincarnation because immortals need such righteous gods."
"These righteous gods serve as tools for the Heavenly Court and the ten major sects to govern Kunxu. Each of their reincarnations is like a self-renewal, adapting to the current situation of Kunxu once again."
"Just like a magic weapon, reincarnation is one of the ways these righteous gods constantly update and improve their performance, in order to prepare for the immortals to govern Kunxu."
"As for human reincarnation..."
Fu Ji thought for a moment and said slowly, "I haven't seen the real situation in detail."
"I just heard from an evil god king that now... human reincarnation is an extremely complex system. It is the result of countless iterations of the immortals' transformation of Kunxu and nature."
"In this system, wealth is equally important. The richer you are, the better off you are."
Zhang Yu took a deep breath. "The richer you are, the better your reincarnation will be... Doesn't that mean that the poor will remain poor for generations?"
Fu Ji smiled and said, "Do you think that everyone in Kunxu, whether it's the Ten Great Sects or the Heavenly Court, has never promoted the true meaning of reincarnation?"
"Even the true information about reincarnation... has always been banned. If you dare to talk about what I told you today, you will be hunted down by the righteous gods."
Zhang Yu then asked, "What about the Yuhua Sect?"
Fu Ji chuckled and said, "The Yuhua Sect preaches a false reincarnation."
"Kunxu does not preach true reincarnation, because the truth will only sever hope."
"The Demonic Cult can promote false reincarnation only because such an afterlife is still a hope, even if it is false. But while it does not conform to the interests of some people, it can conform to the interests of others. That is why it has not been banned so severely."
"In true reincarnation, even when members of a sect are reincarnated, they have to secretly transfer their cultivation."
Zhang Yu asked, "People in the sect, don't they have enough money to reincarnate?"
Fu Ji shook her head and said, "How much money is enough? Besides, even if it is enough, reincarnation still requires taxes."
"The higher your cultivation, the higher the taxes you'll need to pay for reincarnation. There are five taxes for heaven and man, and each tax represents a different level of heaven."
"In this way, they will naturally calculate."
"How much of my assets do I have to use for my official reincarnation? And how much do I keep hidden away before reincarnation to avoid the five taxes of heaven and man?"
"What's the most cost-effective ratio? What's the risk? These are all big questions for them."
"If it weren't for the fact that these are illegal activities that the Heavenly Court is cracking down on, I'm afraid your university would have to open a special major related to reincarnation, specifically studying reincarnation."
Zhang Yu nodded thoughtfully, "Jade Wine Goddess actually participated in such a major event. Now that these evil gods have set their sights on her, it seems they have big plans."
Upon hearing this, Fu Ji nodded solemnly. "It's more than just a grand ambition. The Lord of Qiongjiang was already the Lord of Qiongjiang before Hehuan University was established."
"God knows how many sect disciples she has helped transfer their cultivation? How many people have she helped escape the Five Heavenly and Human Taxes? The number is probably shocking."
"And I don't know how much protection she has in the sect."
Thinking of this, Fu Ji was also terrified: "These evil gods... wanting to do such a dangerous thing is definitely not just their own idea."
Zhang Yu asked, "They revealed the news to us during this transaction. Are they trying to get us on board as well?"
Fu Ji said, "I guess they think we have a lot of intelligence channels in the university town, so they want to recruit us to participate in their plan."
"In short, let's keep our distance, continue probing, and slowly figure out just how far they're going."
"It's fine to exchange intelligence with them, but we must not get involved in their specific actions."
"The water here is too deep."
While Fu Ji and Zhang Yu were communicating, Zi Yun was taking pictures of the Level 1 prototype machine in front of them.
This was the task assigned to her by Zhang Yu, and it was also something she liked to do.
After all, in the process of recording information in this way, she can also obtain information about the prototype machine. If she wants to start such a project in the future, the information in front of her will be an important reference.
Looking at the humanoid puppet in front of her, which was shining with light and flames constantly emerging, Zi Yunzhen felt a flash of excitement in her heart.
"It's so fast! The skeleton, nervous system, spirit world module, mana core, transforming armor... all completed in just over a month. All we have to do now is continue to improve it and upgrade the prototype..."
"A prototype at level 11 can apply for review."
"If you're at level 15, you can pretty much pass it."
Zi Yunzhen thought to herself, "There's a chance, there's really a chance to defeat Jin Jun and the others."
At this moment, Zhang Yu and Fu Ji beside them had already finished their conversation in their minds at lightning speed.
Fu Ji glanced at Zi Yunzhen and said, "Are you going to give her money next time? I think if you ask her for tuition next time, she will be willing to pay you to work for her."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Forget it. The prototype project is too important. I don't want anything to go wrong over this little bit of money, affecting my participation in the Top Ten League next year."
Then Zhang Yu looked at Zi Yunzhen and said, "That's all for today. Go back and prepare well. Tomorrow we will begin improving the prototype. Remember to go to the lab in advance and prepare well."
When Zi Yunzhen heard this, she was shocked: "It stopped just like that? How can it be paused?"
She just said, "Boss! We are now at a critical moment in our competition with Jin Jun and the others. Let's hurry up and get on with it."
Zhang Yu said casually, "I have projects to deal with and experiments to participate in today, so I don't have time to stay here."
At the same time, Zhang Yu had already taken a few photos of the prototype machine in front of him and posted them on his Moments.
Zhang Yu has never stopped witnessing the manufacturing of the prototype machine step by step, leaving traces of his work from time to time, since he started refining the prototype machine.
However, in the past, each time he only showed a certain refining part and process of the prototype machine, and people who didn’t know about it might not be able to see Zhang Yu’s progress.
Today's complete prototype image has enabled even the most layman to see that Zhang Yu's work has reached an important point, and it has also aroused more and more discussions.
…
Inside Jin Jun's laboratory.
Su Yunni was doing repetitive basic work while watching the information jumping out of her eyes.
When she saw Zi Yunzhen's video about the prototype machine, she was slightly stunned.
"Done?"
"How is that possible?"
Su Yunni looked at the laboratory in front of her. They worked 24 hours a day with Jin Jun. After several months, they had just reached the final step and were about to start assembly and debugging.
"Zhang Yu only started refining it more than a month ago, right? Only a month..."
Thinking of this, Su Yunni couldn't help but send a message to Zi Yunzhen.
Su Yunni: Yunzhen, is your video real?
Su Yunni: Is this really the prototype of the Tianrihuangshen refined by Zhang Yu?
Seeing the inquiry from Su Yunni, Zi Yunzhen certainly couldn't deny it. This was an important work experience for her and was related to her future reputation in refining equipment.
Ziyunzhen: It couldn't be more true
Zi Yunzhen: I refined it step by step with Zhang Yu
Zi Yunzhen: We just finished debugging today, and all performance has reached the level of a Level 1 prototype.
Zi Yunzhen: Among the assembleable functions of Tianri Huangshen, two have been completed, meeting the requirements of a Level 1 prototype.
Looking at Zi Yunzhen's confident response, Su Yunni felt her heart sink.
Could it be that with so many of them? So many seniors, so much funding... they were going to lose to Zhang Yu and Zi Yunzhen? To a transfer student from the Civil Engineering Department who had been there less than a year?
Just thinking about it, Su Yunni felt a chill all over her body.
So Su Yunni immediately reported the situation to Jin Jun.
Of course, she did not report it to Jin Jun in front of everyone in the laboratory, but secretly sent a message to him.
Su Yunni: Zhang Yu and his team have completed the refining of the first-level prototype today.
When Jin Jun saw the first message sent by Su Yunni, he just felt it was absurd and funny.
But when he saw the pictures, videos and other information that Su Yunni sent next, his face gradually became gloomy.
