It is said that it was founded by several disciples of the Transformation God realm. In its early days, it only recruited the wealthy. Relying on a corporate culture that valued wealth above all, it developed vigorously and became a well-known enterprise of Immortal Soldier University.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhang Yu walked along, he noticed that everywhere on the road were students wearing Extreme Tiger brand eye skeletons, making their group seem like outliers instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu remarked, \"It seems every student at Immortal Soldier University uses Extreme Tiger brand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Shangjin said, \"It's said that for every ten people at Immortal Soldier University, three work for Extreme Tiger, and the school's procurement of magical skeletons is mainly Extreme Tiger brand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Price is also an important factor. You can take a look at the magical skeleton platform here; Extreme Tiger brand is sold very cheaply.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu glanced around casually and found that they were indeed much cheaper than the Extreme Tiger brand at Ten Thousand Methods University, making him can't help but want to buy a batch to take back and sell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after calculating the taxes and fees, Zhang Yu chose to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he noticed that there were many high-end models of Extreme Tiger brand here, and the more he looked, the more familiar they seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu said, \"These high-end models seem...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Shangjin said, \"Copied, obviously. Extreme Tiger is known as a low-end brand precisely because their mid-to-high-end models are all plagiarized from others. Lawsuits are fought year after year. The plagiarized models have always been banned from sale by other universities, and only in the territory of Immortal Soldier University can they be bought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu said to himself, \"So Immortal Soldier University is protecting Extreme Tiger's plagiarism.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji said, \"What's so new about that? The companies in Kunxu now, like Vajra Mystic Forge, Myriad Dao Craftsman Clan... which one didn't copy their way up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The same goes for universities and sects. How can they become stronger without copying? The weak copy to catch up to the strong. The strong cannot cover all aspects, so to maintain their status, they must absorb resources from all sides, creating original works while copying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Copyright can restrict ordinary people, but how can it restrict factions with real backing? Of course, they still have to save face for the Heavenly Court. Usually, they deconstruct and reconstruct, copying close to the line so that no one can catch a handle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself, \"When I have the ability later, being able to deconstruct and then reconstruct various techniques... I'll copy to my heart's content too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Zhang Yu sighed again that the power of the Feather Book was still too weak to keep up with his unbridled ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, the group had already arrived at the Civil Engineering Competition venue. Zhang Yu looked at the messages sent by Magnetic Pole True Lord and Director Gao, knowing in his heart that these two teachers were also watching from the Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the competition venue, in the audience seats of the Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The projections of Magnetic Pole True Lord and Director Gao descended together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnetic Pole True Lord sighed, \"Immortal Soldier University... I really haven't been to this lousy place in a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Gao asked, \"As you mentioned last time, the championship prize for this Civil Engineering Competition, the design drawing for that military-grade armor—how valuable is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was considering whether, if Zhang Yu couldn't take down the opponent in this match, he should have Mo Shangjin buy back in and appear on stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnetic Pole True Lord said, \"This military-grade armor offered as a reward, though specialized for the Civil Engineering system, was leaked from above.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giving out such a design drawing costs those above no resources at all, yet it can further increase the intensity of competition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But even knowing that, many people will still jump into it, I suppose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnetic Pole True Lord gave a sigh of emotion, then continued, \"After all, who wouldn't want to get a glimpse of the sect's technological development direction?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If one can see even a fraction of the future technological path from the design drawing, that would be an infinite gain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it's also possible that after painstakingly obtaining it, one might find nothing gained—that there isn't much intelligence on future technological routes from above.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How it actually is can only be known once the design drawing is obtained, so its value cannot be estimated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But at least it can fill a gap in the school's military-grade armor capabilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Director Gao nodded slightly. He also knew that although universities were updating various immortal cultivation technologies every year, it was just micro-updates and micro-innovations patching up existing frameworks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And every truly earth-shattering technological revolution often came from the diffusion of sect technologies, triggering huge disturbances and even altering the ecology of a certain layer of Kunxu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to glimpse the future paths and directions of technological development in advance clearly offers various intangible benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Gao thought to himself: \"The value of this design blueprint seems to have surpassed that of the military-grade armor itself. Would the Artifact Refining Department of Immortal Soldier University also be interested...? Plus, with the lure of the Spirit Transformation Arcane Relic experiments...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a projection from the Spirit Realm, taking the form of a puppet with a metallic sheen, appeared and said, \"Magnetic Pole, long time no see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnetic Pole True Lord's eyes flickered, and he said calmly, \"Thousand Puppets, you've come to watch the Construction Competition too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Gao's heart stirred. A quick search through his eye database brought up the other party's information: \"Thousand Puppets True Lord of the Artifact Refining Department at Immortal Soldier University, head of the Artifact Refining Department. Over the past three years, he has been involved in... over two thousand copyright disputes. One of Immortal Soldier University's kings of plagiarism.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousand Puppets True Lord smiled slightly and said, \"I heard that your Myriad Methods University recently copied Nectar Divine Lord's Arcane Relic, so I came over to see the fruits of your plagiarism.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnetic Pole True Lord snorted coldly, \"All projects under my command are independently developed. Don't slander me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousand Puppets True Lord shook his head. \"Fine, fine, fine. If you say it's independent development, then it's independent development. Let's just watch the competition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1280,"2026-05-29T04:54:59.518Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","ce1b2bc6719357b3eecf60bb40f5099f7e33eee2853d918daf9a3def7cf0c3a8","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-486","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-484",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
