Chapter 568: Simplest Way to Beat Double-Week Virus

Zhang Yu, after consulting with Ciji Zhenjun and then discussing with Fuji, ultimately handed the matter over to Mosha Zhenren to handle.

In any case, he could still receive updates on the entire negotiation process at any time, and the final profit distribution would inevitably have to consider his opinion.

And what Mosha Zhenren said about the time and mental effort involved truly struck a chord with Zhang Yu’s concerns.

At this moment, all of Zhang Yu’s focus was on preparing for the Top Ten League, and he truly had no interest in wasting time on such business negotiations.

After finishing the exchange with the Investment Management Office, Zhang Yu’s gaze shifted as he looked at the message appearing in his eye socket, a faint smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

His new assistant was coming.

…

Inside Bei Wufeng’s laboratory.

Liu Xiangqiao said, “Boss, I’m planning to leave.”

Bei Wufeng tried to persuade her to stay: “Xiangqiao, you’ve been doing well here, why do you want to leave…”

Liu Xiangqiao interrupted, “Doing well where? How long have I been stuck doing odd jobs?”

“I’m not valued here at all!”

“I don’t want to keep following you and living this kind of life anymore.”

Bei Wufeng frowned slightly. Over the past few days, Liu Xiangqiao had suddenly become irritable in all sorts of ways, throwing tantrums, and even getting into arguments and noisy conflicts with the other assistants.

At first, Bei Wufeng simply thought she was in a bad mood because she had lost money somewhere, not expecting that today she would suddenly bring up leaving the project group.

Bei Wufeng couldn’t help but say, “Once you leave, you won’t be able to come back easily.”

Liu Xiangqiao said, “Trying to threaten me again? How many times have you threatened me since I started following you?”

“I won’t give in this time.”

Bei Wufeng stared blankly at the scene, feeling that the woman before him had simply gone mad.

But an assistant who wouldn’t obey orders was indeed of little value to him, so Bei Wufeng eventually let her go.

As soon as Liu Xiangqiao left the laboratory, she immediately sent a message to Zhang Yu: “I’m coming.”

Zhang Yu: “He didn’t notice?”

Liu Xiangqiao: “No.”

Once Liu Xiangqiao arrived at the laboratory, she reorganized the laboratory rules, made a new lab schedule, and arranged the order of personnel using the various equipment and instruments in rotation.

Ziyun Zhen looked at these new regulations and couldn’t help saying, “Isn’t it enough to just finish the task? Why go through all this trouble?”

Liu Xiangqiao said coolly, “If you want to go far on the path of artifact refinement, just finishing isn’t enough—you have to do it right and do it well.”

“Before, you prioritized efficiency, seeking speed and saving time and effort, but you skipped too many standard steps. As the project scales up next, with eleven more Taihao Sheng Lü Flying Swords to forge, working like this won’t do.”

With Liu Xiangqiao’s series of actions, the project group’s efficiency initially dropped a bit, but soon picked up faster and faster. Zhang Yu also felt that during the flying sword forging process, the assistants’ help became more and more seamless, and he thought to himself that he hadn’t wasted his effort poaching her.

…

In the Anling Realm.

Fuji and Zhang Yu were there exchanging intelligence with the evil gods.

In particular, they paid close attention to matters concerning the Shuangxiu Cult.

Whether it was the situation at Dazhuan or the incident in Shui Haiyu, both of them felt that the ripples stirred up by the Shuangxiu Cult were gradually spreading.

Fuji said, sounding somewhat complaining, “Who exactly is behind the Shuangxiu Cult? They’re spreading their doctrine everywhere now—they really don’t understand the rules.”

Xi Shen of a Thousand Hands and a Thousand Feet’s eyes flickered as he said slowly, “Those Shuangxiu Cult fellows are too insane. We’ve never seen such crazy proselytizing.”

Fuji said, “To be able to preach so crazily on the territory of Wanfa University, there must be an inside agent, right?”

“Just like the last time you attacked the university town.”

Xi Shen smiled but did not answer.

Fuji continued, “What exactly are they trying to do? Will it affect us?”

Hearing this question, Xi Shen also became slightly serious, clearly this was a concern of his as well.

Only listen as Xi Shen said: "To tell the truth, I don't know why the Double Rest Sect is spreading so crazily. I only know they are likely connected to the Finance Department of Wanfa University."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu's heart stirred, recalling the last time the evil god asked them to obtain intelligence on the Finance Department.

Zhang Yu thought to himself: "Could the unfamiliar account that the Finance Department used to send money be meant for the Double Rest Sect?"

"What exactly are these guys up to, contacting the Double Rest Sect and introducing demonic materials at the same time?"

Just as Zhang Yu was pondering, Xi Shen continued: "Those madmen in the Double Rest Sect have even developed something called the Double Rest Virus to further boost their spread."

Fu Ji's heart moved: "Double Rest Virus? The same kind that was in the divine skeleton of transformation before?"

Xi Shen said: "It's more advanced now."

"Besides dual cultivation, it can now spread through information exchange via the divine skeletons."

"And after spreading through the skeletons, it will also propagate into a person's physical body. It's a troublesome thing."

Fu Ji said: "Since it's a virus, there must be a way to block it, right?"

Xi Shen said: "The Double Rest Virus is a kind of heart demon. Our evil god rituals can certainly counter it."

"Apart from that, the righteous gods have probably already been developing an antidote."

"Of course, there is also the simplest way to deal with the Double Rest Virus, but it's a method no one has used so far."

Fu Ji asked curiously: "What method?"
