Chapter 254: Cannot Endure Anymore

Wang Yin thought to himself: "If a person doesn't even dare to fight for his own interests, how can he dare to fight for the company? To seize for the company?"

"If Zhang Yu is also so submissive and timid, and when something happens to his own people, he doesn't even have the guts to come and ask me, then his achievements in this life will be limited."

Wang Yin knew very clearly that in Kunxu, one must dare to contend and dare to seize; that is the only way to have a chance to stand out.

If the dogs under your command are all submissive, how can you let them out to bite people?

But biting wildly and being reckless won't work either.

"We must neither grind away his nature so that he has no courage at all."

"But also cannot be ignorant of the rules and bite wildly without my orders."

"This time, it's just right to temper Zhang Yu's nature, let him know that the company's interests are the bottom line, and he must not even touch them."

Wang Yin planned to suppress the other party for a while, then give him some benefits later, thoroughly train this promising talent, so that when he is brought up in the future, he will be useful.

……

Time passed intermittently, and in the blink of an eye it had already arrived at September.

As Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen officially became senior high school students, a new batch of freshmen appeared in Songyang High School.

Zhang Yu looked at the many new students entering the school, as if seeing his former self—equally poor, equally weak, equally anxious.

He lowered his head and looked at the number in his bank account: 43 million.

The deposit did not continue to grow this month; instead, it decreased somewhat due to his spending and debt repayment over the past month.

This was because the money for this month... President Wang had not yet transferred it.

Zhang Yu understood that President Wang was clearly waiting for him to come and apologize.

If he wanted to continue getting money from President Wang, he would probably have to follow the other's rules and obediently act as his dog.

What about going to Xinghuo Zhenren and choosing the Wanfa University?

That would mean giving up President Wang's four million per month for the next few months, a total of tens of millions in wealth.

At this moment, in Zhang Yu's mind, whether he operated the Jinyu Mantang Heart Method or the Can Niu She Shen Xinjue, the effects were all poor.

It was as if two different forks in the road were laid before him, but he didn't want to choose either.

Zhang Yu thought of when he first arrived in Kunxu, countless times dreaming of escaping poverty and becoming a rich man who didn't have to worry about loan interest.

But now with 43 million in hand, he found that the difficulties he faced were still the same as before.

Either keep suffering, or suffer a little less and become a rich man's dog.

Zhang Yu could only keep reminding himself.

"You have to endure, Zhang Yu."

"Just like you endured Zhou Chechen and Lan Ling before."

"With my talent, as long as I endure, there will surely come a day when I am strong enough."

Just then, with the vibration of his phone, Zhang Yu found that it was a message from Chi He, the general manager of the Lvzhou Group, actually inviting him and Bai Zhenzhen to a gathering tonight.

……

At the gathering, as soon as Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen arrived, they were welcomed in by President Wang, who kept them close by his side to take drugs and drink.

Then he even took them to a huge blood pool, and looking at the human-like reliefs on the outer wall of the blood pool, he introduced: "This is a qi-blood pool built on the foundation of eighteen Qi Refining peak cultivators."

"The qi and blood in the pool are connected to their bodies, and these eighteen people are constantly using their skills to move the qi and blood."

"If a person soaks in it, they will naturally be driven by the qi and blood inside. It's like these eighteen people are moving the qi and blood for you. Just by soaking in it, it is equivalent to day and night hard cultivation."

"If you establish your foundation in this pool in the future, as soon as you enter Foundation Establishment, you can increase your physical strength to level 12 or above, saving at least a year of hard work."

Looking at the human figures on the outer wall whose chests were still heaving and hearts still beating, Zhang Yu did not feel as uncomfortable as when he saw the living clothes rack last time.

After all, through his time with President Wang, he had basically understood the artistic style and immortal cultivation style of the Youming Sect.

Basically, it was a wild sprint on the track of "being born" — there is nothing you can't imagine, and nothing they can't do.

Although Zhang Yu still didn't really like this style, at least he no longer showed it on his face.

And what shocked Zhang Yu even more was: "These items are obviously worth a fortune."

"Wang Yin sending such valuable gifts..."

Besides the Underworld Sect's artistic style and immortal path style, Zhang Yu was gradually getting to know Wang Yin's way of doing things.

Without any apology from him, the other party actually gave him such expensive gifts... which immediately gave Zhang Yu a bad feeling.

After introducing the Qi-Blood Pool before them, President Wang patted Bai Zhenzhen's shoulder and said with a doting look: "Azhen, there's something I need to tell you."

He stroked Bai Zhenzhen's hair and said somewhat regretfully: "There's a distinguished guest upstairs who's very interested in your physical body and offered a high price to buy it."

"Although this deal came out of the blue, the price definitely won't disappoint you, so I took the liberty of accepting it for you."

"Azhen, just switch to another body."

Hearing what President Wang said, both Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were stunned, as if thunderbolts were exploding in their minds.

President Wang slowly stroked Bai Zhenzhen's head, looking at her like his most beloved pet, and said: "Don't worry, after you switch bodies, I won't treat you poorly."

"With this Qi-Blood Pool here, I'll pick a powerful new body for you, and you'll quickly recover your physical cultivation."

"Just bear with it this time. In the future, I'll definitely invest heavily in you and won't let you down."

President Wang comforted: "When you both enter Netherworld University later, you'll see that switching bodies is a common thing, nothing major."

Looking at President Wang's gaze, which held no malice, and sensing the matter-of-fact tone in his words, both Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen could feel the seriousness behind what he was saying.

The other party truly intended to sell Bai Zhenzhen, and truly believed he was doing it for her own good, believed he wasn't treating her unfairly, believed he had paid a sufficient price, and furthermore believed that switching bodies was no big deal.

Just as Bai Zhenzhen's body began to tremble with nervousness, Zhang Yu grasped her hand. Zhang Yu smiled at President Wang and said: "No problem, President Wang. I'll accept on Azhen's behalf."

"But could you give us a few days to prepare?"

Seeing their calm demeanor, Wang Yin nodded slightly: "Then go ahead."

Walking out of Oasis Tower and all the way back to the apartment, the two held hands but remained silent.

It wasn't until they entered the apartment that Bai Zhenzhen broke the silence.

She tightened her grip on Zhang Yu's hand, pulled him around to face her, and said: "Yuzi, don't do anything reckless."

"I'll give you my True Spirit Root, and I'll just switch to another body."

"As long as the Spirit Root remains, switching bodies is no big deal. Like President Wang said, I'll quickly train it back..."

Zhang Yu said calmly: "What if you can't train it back? What if during these two semesters of senior year, you can't recover? What if the new body doesn't suit you? What if it's incompatible with your spirit?"

Zhang Yu shook his head: "Azhen, I've already made up my mind..."

!

Bai Zhenzhen said helplessly: "Then what do you plan to do? Fight President Wang? Not to mention how much money and how many people Oasis Group has, we can't even defeat his semi-automated talisman book! How can we fight?"

Bai Zhenzhen had extensive combat experience and the keen observation ability brought by her True Spirit Root.

And precisely because of this, she had simulated the possibility of fighting Wang Yin countless times, and the result was always zero.

Win rate 0%

This was the conclusion she had drawn from countless life-and-death battles in the past.

Zhang Yu slowly said: "Azhen, I wanted to endure too."

"When he messed around in Songyang City, I endured."

"When he stirred up trouble on the first floor, I endured."

"When Old Zhao was sold off, I still endured."

"I just thought that if I kept enduring, once I had money and my strength improved, I wouldn't have to endure anymore."

"But of all things, the one thing he shouldn't have done... now he's even planning to sell you!"

Layer upon layer of cold light appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes, and a fierce fighting intent began to gather in his mind.

"Azhen, I really wanted to endure, but this goddamn Kunxu, this goddamn world, this goddamn company, these goddamn rich people... they keep pushing us, pushing us until we can't endure any longer."

"So I've figured it out."

In Zhang Yu's mental visualization, the crippled ox that had been silent for a long time seemed to slowly open its eyes.

"To President Wang, as long as someone offers enough, he will definitely sell us out."

"This is Oasis Group, this is Nether Sect, and this fucking hell is Kunxu."

"To them, we're not even pets—just part of their property."

"Telling us beforehand, giving some compensation, and setting a high price—that's already their great mercy."

At this moment, Zhang Yu's face looked extremely cold, yet also extremely calm. The sharpness that had gradually faded with his comfortable life seemed to return to him all at once.

"But the reverse is also true."

"If someone offers him enough, he'll sell us."

"If someone offers us enough, we can sell him just the same."

Zhang Yu said coldly, "This fucking hell is Kunxu."

Upon hearing this, Fuji suddenly burst into laughter: "Not bad, kid. Your understanding of Kunxu has gone a step deeper."

She knew Zhang Yu couldn't give up on Bai Zhenzhen, and talking about it like before would only make him resentful, so instead of trying to persuade him, she decided to help him plan.

Bai Zhenzhen, listening to Zhang Yu's words, had a flicker in her eyes.

If she could avoid having her body sold, how could Bai Zhenzhen be willing to swap for a different body?

Now, seeing Zhang Yu's earnest expression, she felt his determination and his will.

"Yu, I understand what you mean."

"I... don't want to sell my body either."

She let out a breath, and the sword intent in her eyes gradually condensed: "Then I won't hold back anymore."

"At worst, we'll fight to the death."

"After all, we poor bastards have to carve out a path in this world, and fighting to the death is always part of it."

"For the past half year or more, we really have been living too comfortably."

"Tell me, what do you plan to do?"

Fuji reminded him: "From your previous conversations with Starfire Real Man and Deng Bingding, the sect above is using the Righteous God and this Golden Core Real Man to deal with Oasis Group."

"You need to borrow their influence."

Zhang Yu opened his phone contacts and found Deng Bingding's number.

He directly contacted Deng Bingding and asked, "How do you plan to deal with him?"

Deng Bingding's heart stirred: "Looks like... the time has come?"
