I plan to get it fixed after we weather this economic crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: In the company group chat, several of your family members' avatars seem to have gone dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xin: With the recent economic crisis, jobs are too hard to find, so they've frozen themselves first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xin: Don't worry, Boss Zhang. If anything comes up with the company, the remaining four generations of us will work hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xin: If we're short-handed, I'll wake them up right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Shi Yunxiang on the other side was also sending messages to Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Yunxiang: Senior, do you want to buy some meat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Yunxiang: A lot of people are so desperate for money now that they're trying to steal my meat to sell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Yunxiang: I figure instead of living in fear, I'd rather sell it to you. When I have hardly any meat left on me, no one will bother me anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with the Earth Fiend gravitational force swirling around him, Zhang Yu's floating body flickered and he appeared right in front of the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the weariness in Shi Yunxiang's eyes, Zhang Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, \"It's alright. After today, when everyone sees I'm looking out for you, not many will still try to take advantage of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep the meat for yourself. Train hard—it still has room to appreciate in value.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, before the two could react, Zhang Yu reached out and grabbed each of them, sending a surge of magical power into their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling Zhang Yu's pure, refined magical power flowing through their bodies, both Ying Xin and Shi Yunxiang showed expressions of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, while Zhang Yu spent an hour each day overseeing the construction site, he also regularly fed them some magical power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time, Ying Xin and Shi Yunxiang would patiently wait nearby until Zhang Yu finished his work before he fed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu initially thought they were waiting for him on time, but one day, when he arrived at the site at night due to work arrangements, he found Ying Xin and Shi Yunxiang immediately appearing nearby, quietly waiting off to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Zhang Yu learned that the two had been hanging around the construction site all day looking for work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During these days, Zhang Yu also ran into Su Yanyang, who managed to snatch jobs thanks to his exceptional strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, from what Zhang Yu observed later, Su Yanyang would work one day and then disappear for several days—whether because he couldn't get work every day or had other things to do, Zhang Yu wasn't sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, seeing Shi Yunxiang and Ying Xin again, their condition seemed to have worsened considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Yunxiang's fur was badly matted, and he had lost even more weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both he and Ying Xin were missing one leg, one arm, and one eye—clearly they had removed all the detachable Dharma skeletons from their bodies just to reduce their energy consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling how Shi Yunxiang and Ying Xin had fought alongside him on the arena, struggling fiercely to secure their rankings, and remembering the ashes Ying Xin had given him… Zhang Yu gradually made a decision in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After work, Zhang Yu went up to them and asked, \"You two—do you have a place to stay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them nod, Fuji couldn't help but say, \"Boy, you're not thinking of bringing more people home again, are you? There are already too many poor wretches in the dorm! Every time I go in, it stinks of poverty. Doesn't it bother you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, they helped you before, but now they can't help you anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are plenty of college students like that. You can hire as many as you want with money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring Fuji's remarks, Zhang Yu looked at the two and said, \"Let's go squeeze into my dorm for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xin was momentarily stunned, then quickly said, \"No need, Boss Zhang. I don't want to rent a place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Yunxiang nodded repeatedly beside her: \"Rent is way too expensive now. We'd rather stay at the construction site and tough it out until the economic crisis is over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu smiled and said, \"Come on. I won't charge you rent. Stay until the economic crisis ends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stared at Zhang Yu in shock, their faces filled with disbelief. Only after Zhang Yu explained further did they confirm that he really was letting them stay for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thud,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two knelt down together, looking at Zhang Yu with gratitude in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President Zhang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, gratitude from several elders of the Ying family appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji said, \"Alas! Lost money, lost money, damn it, lost money again. Zhang Yu, you're just meddling!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, under the surprised gazes of his other roommates, Zhang Yu brought the two back to the dormitory, making the originally spacious room feel a bit cramped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xin and Shi Yunxiang were also startled when they saw the people in the dormitory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a round of pleasantries, they each settled into different corners of the dormitory. Ying Xin and Shi Yunxiang sat closest to the door and hurriedly began to absorb spiritual energy through breathing exercises.\u003C\u002Fp>",964,"2026-05-29T04:54:59.518Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","0574b4bd0955db05c5ad34fc38f4624542930fb3f156f0f1315b8fbd196cd0f1","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-524","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-522",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
