I've decided to sell my spot on the competition team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the message from Che Yufei, Zhang Yu naturally chose not to interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, whether it's continuing to participate in the competition to get a better resume and higher overall score, or exchanging it for money now to have more spirit coins to spend on other things, it's all a personal choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since Che Yufei was already a senior-year student, he had his own will and judgment and could decide what path was more suitable for his future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhang Yu's reply of agreement, Che Yufei sighed inwardly: \"If I stay on the team with my strength, I won't be able to make much money, and in the end I'll just become more and more annoying, right? Better to exchange for spirit coins early and leave everyone with a good impression.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, if I had met Zhang Yu a few years earlier, my life might have turned out very differently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Zhang Yu looked at the person who had ultimately bought the team spot and asked in the competition team group chat: \"Is this okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu: No problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu: It goes to the highest bidder, and he's already compensated me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Zhang Yu asked this was because the person who had bid for the spot this time was Su Yanyang. Although Su Yanyang, as a neutral party, had already received Director Gao's approval to join...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering the conflict between him and Shi Huaiyu in the past, Zhang Yu asked the group for their opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But obviously, to the students of Wanfa University, whoever pays more gets heard... It was so natural that even past conflicts were just a bit of wind and frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the competition group chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Che Yufei has left the group chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanyang has joined the group chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warning: Su Yanyang has multiple legal and credit risks. Please be cautious about property safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the warning that appeared after Su Yanyang joined the group chat, Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"Just how many people does this guy owe money to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanyang: Hello everyone, I'm honored to join the competition team. Thank you all for the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu: Less talk, send the money first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Su Yanyang didn't delay and quickly transferred a total of 26.7 spirit coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One-third of this money went to Zhang Yu, one-third to Che Yufei, and the remaining third was split equally among the four regular teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending this money, Su Yanyang felt a bit pained, as his finances over the past year had not been very abundant. He had only recently managed to earn some spirit coins through Jade Nectar Coins, and now in an instant, most of it was spent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I finally earned some money, and it all went to Zhang Yu and the others.\" He thought hesitantly: \"The Jade Nectar Coin has been rising lately. Maybe I should add some leverage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Zhang Yu saw his savings rise to 51.05 spirit coins and couldn't help but marvel at how fast his savings were growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With Director Gao's investment and the continuous increase in my part-time income, my monthly surplus keeps growing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where should I spend it next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first option that came to Zhang Yu's mind was to invest in artifact refining techniques, piece by piece putting together the Chain Diagram Set of the Refining Genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, because these kinds of Dao arts techniques were expensive to cultivate, it was hard for Zhang Yu to afford learning those artifact refining techniques while also studying various magic tool production skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now I can afford some, but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu then thought of his sister Zhang Pianpian's Taiqing Realm. If he could scrape together a bit more spirit coins and directly transfer 100 spirit coins to her, he could upgrade the Taiqing Talisman to level 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Taiqing Realm has always been a great help to me. If I upgrade it to level 2, I wonder what improvements it will bring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking it over, Zhang Yu decided to invest in his sister first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, upgrading the Taiqing Realm only costs 100 spirit coins. Once the upgrade is complete, it will definitely be of great help to my development.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And to collect the full set of the Refining Genius, the cultivation costs of these techniques added up far exceed 100 spirit coins. I don't know how long it will take.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matters of the competition team and savings flashed briefly through Zhang Yu's mind, and he had already made his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attention returned to the present, back to the simulation lab in the spirit world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw various materials and equipment being skillfully operated and refined by him. This was Zhang Yu practicing a new artifact refining skill—the Myriad Treasure Box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the number of magic tools on him had gradually increased, Zhang Yu had begun to feel the inconvenience of carrying them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Myriad Treasure Box was a magic tool capable of storing other magic tools. It was shaped like a person-height box, could perform subsonic anti-gravity flight, and could also launch magic tools at supersonic speeds to achieve rapid response and rapid support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time quickly arrived in early November.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day, the simulated battlefield roared with sound, and smoke and dust soared into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu, stepping on the Formless Spirit General, crashed hard into Xiao Yunji, who had three heads and six arms. The Formless Spirit General moved all four arms at once, each wielding a golden weapon formed from Taiyi Golden Liquid Pills, clashing into a chaotic battle with Xiao Yunji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In collision after collision, Xiao Yunji was shaken back repeatedly, and various warnings sounded from his Dharma framework and treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back to how Zhang Yu had been running all over the field being chased by him last year... a trace of emotion involuntarily appeared on Xiao Yunji's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, on the other side, Su Yanyang, Shi Huaiyu, and Xiao Qingxuan broke through to the rear and stirred up trouble on the construction site of Xiao Yunji's team, completely messing up the newly built structures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Xiao Yunji, who was being completely suppressed by Zhang Yu and constantly beaten on the other side, a look of gratification appeared on Su Yanyang's face: \"That money wasn't wasted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Zhang Yu's team won this match with an absolute advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the end of this competition, the internal department ranking battles for the top ten also completely concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu checked the rankings; his team had placed second, second only to the first-place team of Mo Shangjin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"Second place is pretty much the limit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had the right to challenge, Zhang Yu understood that challenging Mo Shangjin's team was meaningless, because Mo Shangjin alone, with Tiankunlun's Mountain-Moving Divine Power, could sweep them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought: \"After next week's challenge matches finish and the rankings are settled, I'll officially obtain the Seven Ultimates slot and be granted the Fourth Ultimate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Zhang Yu was studying, cultivating, and participating in competitions as planned, the Nectar Coins were still climbing steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The school leaders of Wanfa University, as well as the department heads of Civil Engineering, repeatedly issued warnings about the risks, advising students to withdraw as early as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most of the students, already caught up in their frenzy, paid no attention to these opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after the second round of the Nectar Dual Cultivation lottery results were announced, and several students from Wanfa University also won prizes, this frenzied atmosphere surged to its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ping Han: Junior Zhang Yu\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ping Han: Did you see my Moments post?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ping Han: I won the lottery, and after a while I'm going to Hehuan University to attend the Thousand-Disciple Joint Cultivation Convention [proud]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the message he sent, Zhang Yu curled his lip and thought, \"This guy really loves to show off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the side, Yu Xinghan said with full envy, \"Damnit... I'm so jealous, I really want to kill Ping Han and take his place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu said, \"Lord Nectar has so many incarnations; not all of them are female. Who's to say the one assigned to Ping Han might be male?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan sighed, \"Zhang Yu, in dual cultivation, gender shouldn't be such a rigid boundary. This outdated thinking carried over from a single gender—we should get rid of it as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the finalization of the department rankings, Zhang Yu's team successfully obtained second place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with the increase in composite score, Zhang Yu's internal department ranking also shot up to 25th in the entire department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, bidding began in the group chat for the second slot of the Seven Ultimates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu checked his account and ultimately did not cash out the Nectar Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanyang had already spent a lot of spirit coins to join the competition team, and the remaining money had recently been invested in Nectar Coins, so he had no funds to participate in the bidding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the second Seven Ultimates slot ultimately fell into Gongshu Jin's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this result, Gongshu Jin was extremely excited: \"I never got first in the class even once, but now I'm about to obtain the second Civil Engineering Seven Ultimate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Zhang Yu, under the guidance of Director Gao, studied the Dragon Vein Sensing Method, the fourth Civil Engineering Ultimate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This technique allows one to sense earth veins and, by borrowing the pulse of the earth, enhance one's own power. As long as one stands on solid ground, one can exert greater physical strength and explosive force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a little over an hour, seeing that Zhang Yu had already learned the Dragon Vein Sensing Method, Director Gao nodded with satisfaction and then said, \"Prepare yourself well. Starting in December, you'll team up with Mo Shangjin and the others to get ready for the intercollegiate league.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the reform of this intercollegiate league's format, matches are played once in a while, and the whole thing might take several months from start to finish. Follow Mo Shangjin and the others, learn well, and take the opportunity to see the situation at other universities...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After obediently listening to Director Gao's instructions, Zhang Yu asked eagerly, \"Teacher, what about the remaining Seven Ultimates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Gao said, \"Among the seven Civil Engineering techniques, the one I'm in charge of—come participate in it in a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the other technique, I've already negotiated with the professor in charge. He'll call you over before the end of the year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The last item...\" Director Gao frowned. \"Director Lin has the final say on it, and I'm still trying to find a way for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be anxious either. Focus on training well in the martial arts you've already acquired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the training room, Zhang Yu did not go to practice artifact refining today. Instead, he went to the construction site to work while simultaneously cultivating the Dragon Pulse Perception Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Zhang Yu suddenly received a message from Zhang Pianpian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian: You didn't buy any Qiongjiang Coins, did you?\u003C\u002Fp>",1877,"2026-05-29T04:54:59.518Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","fee6ab258e0bc4d417329df8dcab7546ad3df43701bc7c1ca7350f7f0ff8aede","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-438","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-436",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
