God of Wealth First; Universities and Junior Colleges

"Among the Eight Departments, the first one established by the immortals was the Department of Finance and Taxation, and the first great god of the Department of Finance and Taxation was the Billion Wealth Sea Creation Great God."

"The currencies of all the different factions and levels in Kunxu were all issued by this Billion Wealth Sea Creation Great God."

"It can be said that among the Eight Departments, finance and taxation are the most important, and this Billion Wealth Sea Creation Great God, can be called the god among gods, the god above gods, and is also revered as the God of Wealth."

"But later, the Ten Great Sects gradually realized that simply controlling the issuance of currency was not enough."

"We must control the scale and circulation of currency at each level in order to better control Kunxu."

"If problems arise, it could trigger a Heaven and Earth Tribulation, leading to endless corporate wars, widespread death and destruction, and ultimately, countless people jumping off buildings, the collapse of powerful families, and the fall of numerous companies..."

"Even the immortals of the Ten Great Sects are not perfect and without flaws. In the many years they have ruled Kunxu, there have been many Heaven and Earth Tribulation that have shaken Kunxu to its core, causing chaos and upheaval."

"However, those Flawless True Immortal who are outside the three loans, outside the five insurances, and even able to issue their own currency can always avoid the impact of this Heaven and Earth Tribulation, and can always come out to rebuild Kunxu after the Aeon Tribulation ends."

"Later, the immortals of the Ten Great Sects began to have the Eight Divine Departments collect all the wealth in the world."

At this point, Fu Ji sighed with immense longing and envy, "With such a system of giving and receiving money, the profits of the entire Kunxu Thirty-Six Layers are entirely under their control. The life and death, fortune and misfortune, wealth and poverty of billions of lives are all in their hands."

Bai Zhenzhen listened to Fu Ji's long rant and let out a sigh of relief.

Although she, as a high school student, couldn't understand everything, she grasped one thing: making money... or rather, currency recycling was very important to the Orthodox God.

Fu Ji said, "Every Orthodox God has an annual performance evaluation target, which is to make money, or rather, to recoup a certain amount of currency."

"So, as long as that Sixth-Rank God is given an opportunity to make money off the Zhou Family, it would be a great achievement for her."

"But even Orthodox God cannot act arbitrarily, let alone a Sixth-Rank God."

"So what we need to do is give her an opportunity, create a foothold, and then she will naturally turn to the Zhou Family."

Several hours later, while Zhang Yu and his two companions were making their plans, their anticipated enemy struck first.

As Zhang Yu's phone vibrated, it was a message from Yun Ni, the Patrol Team of Songyang City.

Yun Ni: The higher-ups suddenly want to check for redundant staff. If you and Bai Zhenzhen don't want to be demoted to Divine Assistant positions, you'll have to start working every day next week.

Zhang Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. If he had to sit in an office every day, where would he find the time to cultivate and make money?

But Zhang Yu was reluctant to give up his outsourced Divine Assistant role, so he immediately asked, "Is there any way to avoid working regular hours?"

Yun Ni: There's nothing I can do, the investigation is very strict this time, and I can't protect you all.

Fu Ji suggested from the side, "Ask her if she knows the reason."

After Zhang Yu asked her a few questions, Yun Ni finally replied with the word "Zhou".

Zhang Yu understood immediately. "Has the Zhou Family made their move again?"

"After the school's curriculum reforms and extra tutoring, now they want me to work regular office hours?"

Zhang Yu could sense that this was gradually compressing his time for studying, cultivating, and making money. If an ordinary student encountered such a situation, they would probably gradually lose their mental balance, their grades would drop, and their cultivation would regress.

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Yun Ni's response and snorted coldly, "What exactly does the Zhou Family want? They're not going to fight, they're just trying to annoy us step by step?"

Fu Ji said thoughtfully, "This is putting pressure on you."

Zhang Yu said, "In short... it's impossible to just sit in the office obediently. Since the Zhou Family has the ability to influence the Upper Level of the Patrol Team, if we go to sit in the office, we will only fall into their rhythm and be targeted again and again."

"We must proceed at our own pace and leverage the existing information gap to deal with the Zhou Family."

Shortly after Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen returned to school the following morning after taking the overnight train.

After activating the power of the Detection Ritual within his body several times to test it, Zhang Yu once again sensed the camera that had been secretly monitoring him.

"So, as expected, they started monitoring us again soon after we returned?"

However, neither Zhang Yu nor Bai Zhenzhen showed any reaction, acting as if they hadn't noticed anyone watching them, and continued attending classes, practicing, training, and taking extra lessons at school as usual...

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a building not far away.

A young man is using a webcam to observe Zhang Yu's life at school.

This young man had handsome features and was only 1.9 meters tall, which was considered short even among Immortal Cultivation, yet he exuded a fierce and courageous aura from within.

The young man's name was Yue Jincheng, and he was a new employee of Wanxing Group's Security Department, having joined less than a year ago.

When he was first assigned to monitor Zhang Yu, he was very serious and diligent, not wanting to miss a single movement of Zhang Yu. He carefully scanned every second of the surveillance footage, hoping to make a contribution, get promoted and get a raise as soon as possible, and become the security captain.

After all, in this day and age, there are more and more college students on the Kunxu Second Layer, making it extremely difficult for someone like him, who comes from the first floor, to stay on the Second Layer.

As a result, more and more college graduates are returning to their hometowns, leading to an increasing number of college graduates in Songyang City each year, making it increasingly difficult to find jobs.

Yue Jincheng also cherishes this hard-won job. Since joining the company, he has lived there day and night, paying for his own meals and overnight stays at the company. He follows his superiors closely and never misses an opportunity to work overtime.

He was initially full of ambition when he got the surveillance job, but the more he monitored Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, the more helpless he felt. Especially watching their daily lives, Yue Jincheng felt that his time and life were being constantly wasted.

Without realizing it, he found that his workday was getting slower and slower, and he was spending more and more time on his phone.

Looking at Zhang Yu, who was Body Tempering on camera, Yue Jincheng sighed inwardly, "At least you're still cultivating. What am I supposed to do, watching you cultivate every day?"

After observing Zhang Yu for several hours with utter boredom, Yue Jincheng finally couldn't help but say into the walkie -Walkie-talkie, "Senior Si, waiting like this isn't going to work."

Should we take the initiative?

On the other side of the rooftop, a woman was listening and monitoring Bai Zhenzhen.

It was Si Zhouyu, who had once followed Bai Zhenzhen when she delivered takeout.

Upon hearing Yue Jincheng's words, Si Zhouyu frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Yue Jincheng said, "Whether it's Zhang Yu or Bai Zhenzhen, no matter how powerful they are, they're still just two high school students."

"With our skills, dealing with them, whether it's stealing their phones or breaking into their apartments, is a piece of cake."

"Then we'll know what secrets they hold."

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Although Si Zhouyu shared similar thoughts with him and felt that dealing with two high school students would be a piece of cake with their combined cultivation levels, as a long-time employee who hadn't received a promotion or raise in twenty years, she wanted a promotion, but she also understood that she couldn't act on her own initiative when given a task by the company's leadership.

Si Zhouyu immediately said, "The leader's arrangement has its own reasons; don't be ridiculous."

Yue Jincheng frowned, glanced at Si Zhouyu who was still listening, and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.

He already looked down on Si Zhouyu, a senior colleague who hadn't been promoted in over 20 years, and after learning a few days ago that she only had Junior College, he looked down on her even more.

After all, Yue Jincheng was a proper graduate of the 72 Lower Schools, a true college student.

As for Jinzhou College, which Si Zhouyu graduated from, does it even deserve to be called a university?

"I can't waste my precious time like she does, squandering every day."

"In a year or two, my rank will definitely be above hers."

Time flew by as Yue Jincheng idly watched.

That evening, watching Zhang Yu walk towards the subway station after school, Yue Jincheng was slightly taken aback. "This kid usually runs home to save money, why is he taking the subway this time?"

Yue Jincheng had no choice but to follow Zhang Yu onto the subway and begin changing trains along the various railway lines.

However, as an employee at the Qi Refining Peak, and having been sent to track and monitor his opponents, he naturally possessed unique methods.

His figure shifted and his muscles writhed, and combined with the clothes in his backpack, he could change his appearance every time he approached Zhang Yu.

After riding the subway around and around, Yue Jincheng followed Zhang Yu to a subway station in the suburbs.

Seeing the other person running towards the distant suburbs, Yue Jincheng, who was following behind, suddenly perked up.

"Could it be that this kid has finally made a move today?"

"It's time for me to make a contribution."

Just as he was wondering whether to notify Si Zhouyu, who was monitoring Bai Zhenzhen, he received a message from her.

Surprisingly, Bai Zhenzhen also took the subway to the suburbs.

Soon after, Yue Jincheng and Si Zhouyu met up, both looking at Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen who were still moving quickly ahead not far away with some excitement.

More than half an hour later, both Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen frowned as they watched Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen enter the Protected Area after buying tickets.

Yue Jincheng couldn't help but ask, "Shall we go in?"

Si Zhouyu said, "Nonsense, we have to go in and see who they met."

Yue Jincheng looked at the Protected Area's expense list with a hint of regret and said, "The company will reimburse us, right?"

Si Zhouyu: "Of course."

She thought to herself, "But it's hard to say when I'll be able to get reimbursed. I just hope Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen can give me some surprises this time."

But shortly after the two entered the Protected Area, when they found Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen again, they discovered that they had each put on oxygen masks.

"This is... could it be a package they received at school today?" Si Zhouyu exclaimed in surprise, "It seems they were prepared."

Yue Jincheng watched Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen breathe through oxygen tanks, and then looked at himself and Si Zhouyu breathing in the Protected Area 'Protected Area air, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.

"Hopefully these two won't be here long."

But it was clear that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, who were carrying oxygen tanks, did not intend to leave immediately.

Yue Jincheng and Si Zhouyu could only follow the two of them, watching their spending records increase with every breath, making their hearts bleed.
