The demon cult raided the cemetery, causing the underground spirit veins to melt and break! Casualties exceed a thousand! Experts say repairing the spirit veins will cost tens of thousands of spirit coins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demon cult hijacks the spirit realm; university city's defensive formation turns into an accomplice to slaughter! The entire city's formation urgently needs updating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Multiple Yuanci channels severely damaged; what was once the city's lifeline has now become a man-eating beast! University City issues a red alert, suspending all Yuanci channel operations citywide! And promises to complete repairs as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at these news reports, Tu Lishan sighed: \"This demon cult is truly ruthless. Not only have they looted everywhere, they've also destroyed the antigravity channels, Yuanci channels, mana circuits, spirit energy circuits, and various gravity, temperature, and humidity control devices all over University City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They even broke the entire city's formation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They didn't even spare the student dormitories. This demon cult is too wicked, damn it... Why didn't they tear down the teachers' dorms too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow students, in the days ahead, we bear a heavy mission. How soon we can repair the whole city depends on us. We must not disappoint the teachers and students throughout the city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Lishan thought to himself: \"Sigh, if only the demon cult would attack once a year, my Civil Engineering department would definitely become the number one major in the Ten Thousand Methods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the irrepressible smile on Tu Lishan's face, Ying Xin and Shi Yunxiang exchanged glances, their minds filled with shock and alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xin thought: \"Damn... we only destroyed the mana circuit of one Yuanci channel, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Yunxiang: \"Who the hell blew up all the Yuanci channels in the city?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, after the economic crisis, the wave of unemployment had gradually eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And within University City of Ten Thousand Methods University, with many people dead, bankrupt, or missing, there was even a scramble for workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, due to the demon cult's widespread destruction and the initiation of various infrastructure projects, students from the Civil Engineering department were in such high demand that they entered a blissful era of working overtime every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu felt the vibrant energy at the construction site, watching the workers' radiant faces and happy smiles after overtime. At that moment, he had to admit that after the demon cult's attack, the economy in University City seemed more active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji said: \"That's how Kunxu is. Sometimes it's about who can endure longer. If you can survive a great calamity, those who live through it can all reap some dividends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu nodded and resolved to seize this opportunity to earn good money, preparing for his upcoming work on the prototype machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Zhang Yu, in the name of his company, took on quite a few projects from the Artifact Refining Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the reconstruction of various places in University City couldn't do without Civil Engineering's construction, many of the projects were managed with participation from the Artifact Refining Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Yuanci channels and antigravity channels that ran through the entire city were investments by the Artifact Refining Department, which was also responsible for manufacturing and deploying the related equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu, leveraging his identity in the Artifact Refining Department and his relationship with Ciji Zhenjun, was able to take on many projects that required little construction work but offered substantial income.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that there were so many projects across the city, workers had become precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the more workers you had, the higher the construction efficiency, allowing you to take on more projects and complete them sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the number of employees in Zhang Yu's company was clearly insufficient for his needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So with the end of the economic crisis, Zhang Yu began another round of company expansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu first recruited the people from the Civil Engineering department who had shared bankruptcy with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Lishan looked at Ying Xin in front of him and frowned: \"Are you sure you want to leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wages here are about to go up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are more projects than we can handle; I guarantee you'll be working overtime until graduation without getting bored.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And aren't you already working part-time as an accountant at Zhang Yu's place? Isn't that enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the words \"wages about to go up,\" Ying Xin paused slightly, seeming quite tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after thinking it over, she said, \"I've already agreed to go to Zhang Yu's company to work as an accountant while also going to the construction site.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Lishan said helplessly: \"Ah, how can Zhang Yu's new company compare to our long-established one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this: you can go for now, but my door is always open for you to come back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, projects were everywhere in University City, and Tu Lishan was in great need of manpower. Every additional worker meant more money, and his attitude toward students was better than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after Ying Xin left, Shi Yunxiang also came over and made the same request to Tu Lishan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that he too was going to Zhang Yu's company, Tu Lishan couldn't help raising an eyebrow and thought: \"This kid Zhang Yu, how much money did he spend on poaching people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, seeing that Xiao Qingxuan was also changing jobs, Tu Lishan was even more surprised: \"Have you thought this through?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finding a job after graduation isn't easy, especially a department-affiliated company. That's a prestigious name in the civil engineering world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I were you, I would first settle down and work for ten years, accumulate more experience and build up some seniority, rather than jumping ship to a new company with an uncertain future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qingxuan insisted, \"Teacher, I've already decided. Please let me go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past few days, being constantly poached by Zhang Yu, it was impossible for Tu Lishan not to feel uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>",981,"2026-05-29T04:54:59.518Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","1ee8a720481cfe886fdcc0337ebfeb54eef489a69f072ce9ae26e1a93ef7f73b","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-535","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-533",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
