Being first in his class and 23rd in the department brought him a low-interest scholarship loan of over 20 spirit coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although Zhang Yu’s current income was high, his expenses were also considerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the manufacturing and maintenance costs of magical artifacts, the purchase and practice of artifact forging blueprints, and the cultivation of artifact forging techniques—each of these items was enough to employ quite a few civil engineering students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, with this additional loan of 20 spirit coins, the balance in Zhang Yu’s account approached 60 spirit coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the scholarship loan, a high ranking naturally brought various other benefits, such as a weekly food distribution and discounts on various school facilities. These were benefits that Zhang Yu had gradually become accustomed to and even considered a bit stingy, but they were still things that other students envied immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that there were more spirit coins in his account, in Zhang Yu’s view, they naturally had to be used to continue improving his cultivation, because improving his cultivation meant improving his ability to earn money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t spend money, how can you improve your strength? How can you earn more money?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying his longing for the peak of the immortal path, Zhang Yu once again plunged into the artifact forging laboratory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him now, the primary goal of improving his strength was naturally the new military-grade power, but this path could only continue once he transferred to the Artifact Forging department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although the new military-grade power was temporarily out of reach, in Kunxu… even if all basic data had reached the realm’s limit, as long as one had money… one could always continue to improve one’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially for Zhang Yu, who wanted to pursue the path of artifact forging, as long as he had money… while continuously honing his forging abilities, he could also create more magical artifacts to help him earn money, steadily improving his earning capacity and his immortal cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, at this very moment, on the 669th floor of the University City, Ying Xin’s grandfather was leading company employees like Zhao Tianxing and Che Yufei, using Zhang Yu’s magical artifacts to carry out work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Earth Fiend Bottle under his control continuously produce concrete, Zhao Tianxing thought contentedly: “I never imagined that a college graduate like me could now be working on projects from the Ten Thousand Methods University every day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking every day on the construction site of floor 669, especially when sometimes controlling artifacts and walking alongside other students, Zhao Tianxing felt as if he had become a student of Ten Thousand Methods University himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on his current connections in the Civil Engineering department and the many artifacts he provided, Zhang Yu could, even when he wasn’t working himself, have his company take on some simple small project subcontracts inside the University City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After deducting employee salaries, taxes, the mana charging costs for the artifacts, maintenance fees, and the intermediary fee to Tulishan, Zhang Yu could still earn about 0.1 or 0.2 spirit coins per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although it’s a bit little… but this doesn’t require me to move a muscle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever he thought about how when he was doing experiments in the lab, his company employees were still earning money for him and his account balance was quietly rising, Zhang Yu felt that this spirit coin was even more satisfying than the ones he earned himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji nodded in agreement: “Cooking for yourself tastes better, but money earned by employees is more satisfying. This kind of passive income is more valuable than the active income from working yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu nodded repeatedly: “Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji reminded him: “Recently, thanks to my efforts, the company’s efficiency has improved again…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu said: “Keep up the good work, President Fu. Once the company grows, I definitely won’t treat you unfairly. I hope you can grow well with the company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji cursed inwardly: “You damn bastard… you just refuse to pay wages, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Zhang Yu was rushing back and forth between the construction site and the lab every day, Jiutian Liu from the Finance department added him as a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiutian Liu: Hello, classmate Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiutian Liu had added Zhang Yu as a friend through Tianzhang Zhenjun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this top student ranked 1st in the Finance department and 2nd in the entire school, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but feel a sense of gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time he had seen a student with such a high ranking was Yan Qianji, who was 1st in the Artifact Forging department and 3rd in the entire school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: Is there something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiutian Liu: I want to rent a part of your body, just a part. The specifics will depend on the test results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: What do you mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiutian Liu: I know it’s a bit abrupt, but to prepare for this year’s Ten Greats League, my time is very tight, and I need to improve my cultivation faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiutian Liu: The yin organ experiment of Magnetic Pole Zhenjun seems like a good opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiutian Liu: I want to rent a part of your body to undergo the experiment in your stead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu directly refused: Sorry, not interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu knew he couldn’t possibly agree, because the experiment was exactly how he whitened his cultivation level. If he let Jiutian Liu go in his place… the lie might be exposed at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhang Yu’s refusal, Jiutian Liu’s eyes flickered slightly, a hint of surprise in his heart: “Refusing so bluntly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiutian Liu: Aren’t you going to ask about the price?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: Sorry, really not interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiutian Liu: Classmate Zhang Yu, I think you should reconsider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiutian Liu: The storm around the Yin Device Experiment is growing. Standing at the forefront has many benefits, but the risks are by no means small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiutian Liu: The last descent of the Qiongjiang Divine Lord was only the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiutian Liu: I think rather than continuing to take risks, you should secure your gains now and take the money and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Jiutian Liu could send the rest of the message, Zhang Yu replied again: I'm really not interested, you don't need to say any more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing a hint of impatience in the other's tone, Jiutian Liu paused for a moment, then chuckled: \"Heh, this kid... quite greedy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let me see, with you sitting in that position, how long you can hold out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to back out then, the price might not be what it is now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1139,"2026-05-29T04:54:59.518Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","1e52d99953b09160ee28db369c416e3de69e990bac5a744f03ac03ead212c835","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-485","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-483",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
