Chapter 336: Everyone Misses President Wang

Beginner - Qi Meridian Eternal Flow (6/6): The more breathing techniques you master, the faster your mana recovery.

Looking at the first level effect of Qi Meridian Eternal Flow, Zhang Yu's heart stirred slightly.

"It's rather simple and crude."

"Given the number of breathing techniques I currently have, I wonder how much my recovery speed can increase."

Zhang Yu wanted to test it out, so in an instant he erupted with surging Gang Qi inside his body, transforming into arms that grabbed at the steel bars all around.

Originally, when using Gang Qi for long-distance work, the farther the distance, the more severe the consumption of Gang Qi.

So to save mana, while he breathed, Zhang Yu would keep the Gang Qi working within short to medium distances.

This time, in order to consume more mana in a short time, Zhang Yu directly sent the arms formed from Gang Qi out to a distance of over thirty meters.

Mist-like Gang Qi transformed into eight arms in one breath, surging wildly from his back, shooting out in all directions like eight giant pythons.

These Gang Qi arms either built walls, twisted steel bars, or cleaned up trash... making Zhang Yu seem like multiple people working on this construction site.

Such large-scale, long-distance consumption also made Zhang Yu feel that his mana was being rapidly drained.

"Under such full-power consumption, I'm afraid my mana will be exhausted in at most ten minutes."

Thinking this, with a thought, Zhang Yu opened the Chain Method Diagram on the Feather Book and switched from University Saint Body to Qi Meridian Eternal Flow.

In an instant, Zhang Yu felt that with each breath, the intricacies of one breathing technique after another flooded into his mind.

The meridians used by each breathing technique seemed to be completely opened at this moment, accommodating spiritual energy at higher speed and greater breadth.

He felt his dantian had turned into a giant black hole, accompanying the mana circulation throughout his body, devouring all the surging spiritual energy and then spitting out mana...

The rate of mana recovery was skyrocketing.

"If just now at full consumption, ten minutes would exhaust my mana... now I can last at least an hour."

Thinking this, Zhang Yu's heart shook, and he grew even more anticipatory of the later two levels of Qi Meridian Eternal Flow.

"Pity, I can't rely on this to sell large amounts of mana."

Zhang Yu thought to himself: 'After all, this recovery effect is too astonishing. Such a large output would inevitably attract unnecessary attention.'

"But while large-scale output is not feasible, selling a small amount each day should be fine."

"And then there's Le Mulan's side..."

Zhang Yu thought that from now on, he could feed more mana to Le Mulan every day, speeding up the improvement of her mana quality.

"Looking at the current progress, with my diligent infusion, plus her own constant spending to improve mana quality, next month Le Mulan's Deep Cold Dharma Vein can be completed."

Amid his thoughts, Zhang Yu still switched Qi Meridian Eternal Flow back to University Saint Body. After all, he was still in the developmental stage and needed University Saint Body more to accelerate cultivation progress and improve cultivation effects, rather than quick mana recovery.

So the next moment, Zhang Yu pulled back the waves of Gang Qi, restored his short-to-medium range working style, and tried his best to maintain a balance between mana consumption and recovery.

In the following days, Wang Yin never appeared again. He neither launched offline revenge, threatened a refund, came to argue, nor even contacted them, as if nothing had happened.

And without Wang Yin's sponsorship, Zhang Yu could no longer eat and get massages every day. He felt that his cultivation speed had suddenly slowed down a lot, making him very uncomfortable.

"No word from Boss Wang yet?"

That day, Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask Tian Yang the same question again.

Tian Yang shook his head: "He blocked me. At least I can't reach him anymore."

"Based on the information I have so far, he should be offline now, focusing on studying and cultivation, preparing for graduate school exams."

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, feeling like a streamer who had lost his top donor. Not only did the big spender stop watching the stream, but he also blocked the person who chatted on his behalf.

Especially since the spirit coins he had earned from Wang Yin during this time were far more than all his wages since coming to University Town, making Zhang Yu deeply feel that streaming was much faster for making money than working.

And a similar realization had already surfaced in Yu Xinghan's heart.

"No word from Boss Wang yet?"

Seeing Zhang Yu shake his head, Yu Xinghan sighed and thought to himself that the days of freeloading on massages every day were probably gone from now on.

"Oh well, anyway, I've accumulated enough material in the massage shop. It should be sufficient for a short time."

During this time, besides using his Third Eye divine ability to learn massage skills, Yu Xinghan also recorded a lot of material for store-review videos, and every week he took time to edit and upload them.

"My daily civil engineering content and store exploration videos have seen a slight increase in views recently, but making a living from video creation isn't something that can be achieved in the short term."

"I still need a job that can bring in some quick cash right now."

"But my massage technique is newly learned, and I still need some practice..."

Thinking this, Yu Xinghan glanced at Li Xiao beside him and said, "Want to try out the massage technique I learned?"

Li Xiao naturally nodded and agreed repeatedly. He lay face down on the ground, enjoying Yu Xinghan's inexperienced massage skills while chatting casually.

"Xinghan, what eye prosthetics are you using?"

"Tiangong's."

"What a coincidence? I'm using Tiangong eye prosthetics too. Then what eye prosthetics does Brother Yu use?"

"Time-Crippled Demon Eyes."

"Oh~ So where are you planning to go for your next construction site? Can I come with you?"

After spending several days—either practicing on Li Xiao or on Zhang Yu—Yu Xinghan quickly fully digested the massage skills he had stolen via the Third Eye Divine Ability, merging and mastering the accumulated techniques of those multiple skilled masseurs.

Then he contacted Li Xuelian.

Yu Xinghan: Senior sister, I want to join the dark massage underworld.

Li Xuelian: You want to do unlicensed massage? Are you good enough? When did you learn how to massage?

Yu Xinghan: My technique is absolutely fine! If you don't believe me, Senior Sister, you can try it!

Li Xuelian: It's not that I don't trust you.

Yu Xinghan: Senior Sister, just give it a try! Try it and you'll know!

Li Xuelian: No need. I'll arrange it for you.

Yu Xinghan watched disappointedly as Li Xuelian refused his massage invitation, but thinking that he would soon be joining the dark massage underworld, he still breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Both the civil engineering videos and the store exploration videos have great potential, but they're also long-term investments that require a lot of time to accumulate—maybe one or two years, or three or four years before seeing any returns."

"So I still need a job that can earn some quick cash."

And the dark massage underworld, unlicensed massage, was the solution Yu Xinghan came up with after acquiring the Third Eye Divine Ability and visiting stores repeatedly.

"With my quickly mastered massage technique, I'll first earn some quick cash in the dark massage underworld. If my videos blow up later, I can wash my hands and go legit."

That day, after once again practicing his massage techniques on Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan followed Li Xuelian's instructions and started his first job.

The location was relatively shabby, because the assignments arranged for beginners were of poor quality—an outdoor massage below the 100th floor of the university city.

Yu Xinghan: "I have to go out for a job. Don't wait for me for anything today."

Zhang Yu watched Yu Xinghan's retreating figure and thought to himself, "This guy's massage skills have improved so fast. Could he have used the Third Eye Divine Ability to learn them?"

"How many massage shops has he actually visited?"

Shaking his head, Zhang Yu also stood up, feeling his relaxed body, and temporarily left the construction site.

His figure flickered several times, and in moments he had jumped into the anti-gravity channel, then shot all the way up to the dormitory floor, soon returning to the bedroom.

At the same time, on the other side, Le Mulan was also on her way back to the dormitory, and a message from Zhang Yu appeared in her eye prosthetics.

Zhang Yu: Yu Xinghan has to work today, and Senior Sister is also preparing for a competition with her classmates, so neither of them will be back. Let's make the most of our time.

Le Mulan: Mm, I'll be there soon.

Just then, a burly man with dark skin and a sturdy build blocked Le Mulan's path, smiling broadly. "Classmate Le, please give me a chance. I promise I'll satisfy you."

Le Mulan frowned as Xuange stepped in front of her, snorting coldly, "Get lost."

The big man took a few steps back and said with a bitter smile, "Classmate Le, just think of it as doing me a favor. I can offer 1 Spirit Coin..."

Seeing the increasingly icy gleam in Xuange's eyes, the big man sighed helplessly and turned to leave.

Xuange thought to himself: "Le Mulan's mana quality has been getting higher and higher lately. Her innate ice mana is gradually drawing the attention of many students, all wanting to dual cultivate with her to improve their cultivation."

"Once she goes to the Foundation Establishment class next semester, she is likely to attract even more attention, and the number of people wanting to dual cultivate with her will only increase... But..."

Xuange felt the faint chill emanating from within Le Mulan's body and thought, "They don't know that the man behind Le Mulan is actually the more superior dual cultivation partner."

Thinking about the rapid improvement in Le Mulan's magical power quality these days, Xuan Ge couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

"It must all be thanks to Zhang Yu."

Watching Le Mulan's back disappear through the dormitory door, Xuan Ge looked wistful and disappointed: "When will it be my turn to go in..."

Just then, the dormitory door opened again, and Le Mulan's head poked out: "Xuan Ge, could you help take out the trash?"

"Sure!"

Le Mulan turned around and handed the unboxed medicine to Zhang Yu: "This is the discounted tonic you bought at the School of Pharmacy. I brought it over for you."

"The medicine can wait. Let's begin first."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, sat down impatiently behind Le Mulan, pressed a palm against the other's back, and transmitted his own magical power over.

Feeling the endless stream of magical power from Zhang Yu, Le Mulan sensed that this time Zhang Yu was transmitting it fiercely and urgently, and the amount far exceeded before.

After a long while, just as Le Mulan felt that the inside of his body was almost at its limit, Zhang Yu withdrew his hand.

Le Mulan couldn't help but say: "So much... is it really okay?"
