Hidden Crisis, Dark Tutoring
Just as Zhang Yu was satisfied, Bai Zhenzhen said, "I remember the school has a lot of cultivation equipment, and even Law Treasure, right? Can I borrow them?"
Hearing this, Zhou Chechen felt helpless again, a pained expression on his face, and asked, "What do you want?"
Bai Zhenzhen said, "The Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set."
"Hehe, can I borrow this set of cultivation Law Treasure imported from the Second Layer to play with?"
Bai Zhenzhen had long coveted this cultivation Law Treasure at the school, but she simply couldn't afford to rent it before.
Hearing this, Zhou Chechen sighed helplessly and said, "Although this Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set is an old Law Treasure that was eliminated from the Second Layer, it is still an extremely rare item in our Songyang City."
"Even if I were to suggest that the school lend you the money for free, it would come at a considerable cost."
He said with a pained expression, "If I hadn't truly wronged you two this time, I would never have done such a thing."
"I can only rent it to you for 80 hours a month; that's the limit I can do."
This Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set consists of 999 intelligent silver needles that can release the electricity stored within the needles to stimulate flesh and nerves, with Body Tempering effects reaching even the most minute parts of the body.
For Bai Zhenzhen, who possesses Thunder Magical Power and True Spirit Root, this Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set not only allows her to Body Tempering with electricity at all times, but also replenishes her Thunder Magical Power, accelerating the efficiency of her cultivation Cultivation Method.
In particular, this Law Treasure also has a built-in basic artifact spirit, which can automatically perform different acupuncture techniques to achieve different levels of Body Tempering effects.
Fu Ji commented, "This Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set has been phased out up above, but it's still a decent cultivation Law Treasure in this Kunxu First Layer. Once we borrow it, Zhang Yu, you can use it too to enhance your nerve reflex speed and explosive power."
"Unfortunately, this basic artifact spirit is connected to the internet; without paying, you can't use the advanced Body Tempering techniques developed by the company."
"If there were a skilled weapon refiner, they could potentially eliminate the weapon spirit and bypass the advanced services after disconnecting from the internet."
"But don't even think about it, especially since you borrowed it."
"By the way, the Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set consumes a lot of electricity, remember to charge it at school."
Bai Zhenzhen then added, "I'll keep this Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set at school to recharge it from now on."
Zhou Chechen nodded slightly. Having already paid such a high price, he didn't mind paying a little electricity.
But a question arose in Zhang Yu's mind, and he typed on his phone. "Speaking of which, this kind of Law Treasure needs to be charged. Can't it be charged with lightning?"
Fu Ji looked at the words appearing on her phone and laughed, "Lightning charging?"
"How many times have you seen it rain or thunder in Songyang City?"
"All natural climates are planned in advance by the Eight Divine Departments, and changing the climate would require a huge amount of money."
"Besides, lightning contains a massive amount of Immortal Dao elements and energy. You think you can get away with striking me for free? You're dreaming."
Zhang Yu was speechless for a moment. He then recalled his own and the original owner's memories and realized that he hadn't really seen thunder and rain. It was just that he was too weak and poor in the past, and Kunxu had too much information about him, so he knew nothing about the inside story of these weather phenomena.
When Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, and Zhou Chechen reached this point, they all felt that they had basically reached the other party's limit in terms of price. No matter how much they negotiated, Zhou Chechen couldn't offer any more resources.
However, both of them were very satisfied with what they had gained.
More flexible class times, practical sparring with Martial Dao instructors, and access to all Cultivation Method at Songyang High School.
There are also slots in the Spirit Domain for cultivating Dao Heart, which can match the Grievance Spirit Root of the Grievance Fiend Art, and the cultivation Law Treasure Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set.
In addition, each person received 1.5 million in cash.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "With Zhou Chechen's support, my chances of passing the Foundation Establishment Certificate exam next time have greatly increased."
Zhou Chechen said wearily, "If there are no problems, you two... shall we sign the contract?"
Fu Ji then reminded her, "Wait a minute, ask Deng Bingding again, and ask her if this is acceptable."
"Remember this, these are the techniques for dealing with the Orthodox God. Always consult them on matters related to money."
"Also, remember to tell her that you and Bai Zhenzhen should give her the 3 million you received."
Zhang Yu's fingers, which were typing, froze, and his heart was suddenly filled with reluctance.
Fu Ji laughed and said, "Hehe, don't be reluctant, Deng Bingding won't want it."
Zhang Yu sent a message to Deng Bingding with some skepticism, explaining his side's compensation agreement.
Deng Bingding replied: I understand.
Then Zhang Yu expressed his intention to transfer 3 million to Deng Bingding.
Deng Bingding replied: What nonsense are you talking about? Don't get me into trouble. Keep this money safe for yourself. We, the Orthodox God, uphold Kunxu and manage the world for the sake of countless lives. Don't say such things in front of me again.
Fu Ji said, "Hehe, those guys from the Orthodox God monitor all ordinary transfers, so they won't accept any transfers other than Goodwill Talisman."
"She knows you won't use Goodwill Talisman, but just expressing your feelings will still increase her favorability."
Zhang Yu typed on the screen, "Did the Zhou Family also give Goodwill Talisman this time?"
Fu Ji denied it, saying, "The Goodwill Talisman are probably only a small part, just a little gift for the Orthodox God."
"The fines that can be handed over to the God Department are probably the main thing. This kind of cash recovery performance is probably more important to Deng Bingding."
After signing the contract in the Mediation Room, Zhou Chechen finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sent a message to his father to inform him of the situation.
Then he said to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, "Gentlemen, I've already had the money transferred. I'll send someone to take you back to school later to fulfill the contract."
Watching Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's departing figures, Zhou Chechen slumped into his chair, gripping his phone tightly, a look of bitterness and frustration on his face.
Then he saw Yue Jincheng and Si Zhouyu still kneeling to the side and said coldly, "What are you still doing here?"
"The company has advanced so much money for you this time, aren't you going to start working right now to pay it back?"
After Yue Jincheng and Si Zhouyu were driven away, Lan Ling received a call. He angrily shouted, "President, why was my spot in the Spirit Realm canceled? I'm in the crucial final year of high school right now..."
"You've heard about the Wanxing Group, haven't you?" Zhou Chechen sneered and said, "Sixth-Rank True God sealed off the entire group and even tracked down the Zhou Family."
Do you know why?
Lan Ling was slightly taken aback. He had indeed heard the news, which gave him the confidence to question Zhou Chechen.
Zhou Chechen continued, "Because of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen."
"The one backing them is this Sixth-Rank True God, a Orthodox God who can directly seal off the entire Wanxing Group without giving any reason."
At this moment, Zhou Chechen naturally had no idea that Deng Bingding was able to do this because he had invoked the banner of the Foundation Establishment Exam.
Of course, since those in the know could not disclose relevant information, to Zhou Chechen and Lan Ling, who were unaware of the situation, it seemed that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had incredibly powerful backers.
Zhou Chechen said, "Lan Ling, you don't want Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen to target you, do you?"
"I remember you also said something about hiring someone to run them over and cripple them..."
Lan Ling quickly said, "Guild Master! I've thought about it and decided I don't want the spot from the Spirit Realm."
Zhou Chechen added, "I just lost five million to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen..."
Lan Ling said, "I understand. How about I offer 800,000?"
"This is all the cash I have on hand."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chechen sighed inwardly again, "Lan Ling, if everyone in Songyang City were like you, how wonderful this world would be." "Sigh, I wonder how much the Lineage lost this time."
"The losses are severe."
Inside a ward on the Layer 333 of the Central Building.
Looking at the empty wardrobe, Zhou Yang thought to himself that half of his lower body had been sold off, and sighed inwardly, "The Foundation Establishment Exam, this banner is really useful."
"Once the pole is used, no one can stop it, and no one dares to block it."
"Deng Bingding bit off a large chunk of flesh."
As the main person in charge of this incident, Zhou Yang bore the brunt of the losses alone, suffering a significant financial blow, but he ultimately survived this ordeal.
After all, he had already obtained information that the other party was participating in the Foundation Establishment Exam. If he hadn't had this information advantage and hadn't given in from the beginning, he probably would have paid a much higher price.
Of course, his status as the Purple-Gold Merit Lord, as well as the mediation of the Orthodox God he knew, also played a significant role.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
Although the losses were huge, Zhou Yang believed that this matter was not without its gains.
Through inquiries with familiar Orthodox God, Zhou Yang was highly certain that this Deng Bingding was mainly using the Foundation Establishment Exam to make money, and was not a backer of Zhang Yu or Bai Zhenzhen.
"In the end, the Foundation Establishment Exam turned out to be ten times more troublesome than I had anticipated. It's something I absolutely cannot even get involved in."
"However... Hmph, what will happen to Orthodox God if she finds out that Zhang Yu, whom she's helping, is a follower of an Evil God?"
Zhou Yang thought to himself, "Let's wait until the Foundation Establishment Exam is over before we talk about it."
"It would be even better if Zhang Yu could pass the Foundation Establishment Certificate; this fish would be even fatter, fresher, and more valuable."
A ruthless glint appeared in Zhou Yang's eyes. "Heh heh, as long as I still hold Zhang Yu, the follower of the Evil God god, as leverage."
"Once the Foundation Establishment Exam is no longer a cover in the future, I can use that as leverage to control this person."
"This Orthodox God will definitely pay the price."
"As for now..."
Looking at his phone and at the various questions and complaints coming from his Lineage and company, Zhou Yang knew that he would have to keep a low profile for the next three months until Zhang Yu finished taking the Foundation Establishment Exam.
After a busy night, it was just beginning to get light.
Songyang High School.
Zhang Yu received Grievance Spirit Root that could be rented for 100 hours a month for free. He was sensing the soaring Grievance Qi in the campus and trying to use the Spirit Root to absorb Grievance Qi.
Bai Zhenzhen played with her newly acquired Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set, which also offered 80 hours of free rental per month, and smiled slightly as she watched the electric sparks flickering between her fingertips.
Just then, their phones vibrated; an electronic version of all the Cultivation Method from Songyang High School had been sent to them all at once.
At the same time, with the authorization of Songyang High School, the two also had the right to use these Cultivation Method.
Next up is the Spirit Realm User Manual for Songyang High School.
Also included are the contact details of all the Martial Dao Martial Dao, who have all been notified that they will be providing individual tutoring to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.
Of course, the specific class time still needs to be arranged after Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen contact the other party.
Besides that, each of them received 1.5 million.
Taking stock of what he had gained, Bai Zhenzhen satisfaction, "That was awesome!"
"That was fucking awesome."
"Isn't this much more profitable than the back-and-forth work we used to do?"
"Yu Zi, do you think we could extort money from all the powerful clans in Songyang like this?"
Before Zhang Yu could answer, Bai Zhenzhen shook her head. "Sigh, it's impossible. If Deng Bingding really did that, the God Department definitely wouldn't allow it."
Just then, Fu Ji reminded them, "Although the Zhou Family has given you a lot, this matter is not over yet."
"Based on our previous discussions, it seems that there is Evil God behind them. Moreover, judging from the words of Zhou Tianyi, who attacked Zhang Yu, they may even know of my existence."
Zhang Yu asked in confusion, "Speaking of which, how did they know this?"
Fu Ji sighed, "Heh heh, it's probably the guy who betrayed me who passed on this information."
"Now that I think about it, the Zhou Family's disgusting and oppressive treatment of you was probably all to force me to reveal my whereabouts."
But that doesn't matter anymore.
"The important thing is that the Evil God behind the Zhou Family may have something on you, the followers of that Evil God god."
"He's only backing down now because of the Foundation Establishment Exam."
"Once the Foundation Establishment Exam is over, this guy will definitely retaliate."
"That's why I said this isn't over yet, you'd better be prepared."
"Because of your status as a follower of Evil God god, you won't be able to rely on the Orthodox God to completely resolve this hidden danger; you'll need to rely on your own strength to solve it."
Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen nodded, but these matters would have to wait until after the Foundation Establishment Exam was over.
Their most important goal right now is to defeat Ye Lingxiao and Yun Jing in the exam three months from now.
Zhang Yu played with the newly acquired Grievance Spirit Root, and first bought the Grievance Fiend Art, which could be used in conjunction with this Grievance Spirit Root.
-
500,000
Seeing a third of the 1.5 million he had just received disappear in the blink of an eye, Zhang Yu was once again struck by how fast the Immortal Dao could spend money.
Then Zhang Yu selected an Expert-level Cultivation Method called the Thunder Marrow Cleansing Scripture from the Cultivation Method at Songyang High School.
"The Grievance Fiend Art, the Thunder Marrow Cleansing Scripture, and the Boundless Spring Autumn Zen —these are the three Cultivation Method required for the Martial Dao Sacred Embryo."
"If we can gather three more Cultivation Method and upgrade them all to Level 10, then these six level Level 10 Cultivation Method will be able to activate the effect of the Elementary Martial Dao Sacred Embryo."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu felt that he was one step closer to obtaining the Foundation Establishment Certificate.
"But if you want to make money from now on, you'll have to rely on yourself."
Zhang Yu asked, "Fu Ji, according to what you said last time, our current strength should be enough to make a lot of money in the Dark Tutoring World, right?"
Fu Ji: "That's enough."
Zhang Yu asked, "So how exactly do we do it?"
Fu Ji said, "You guys go to the park first and find out which course is the most popular in Songyang City's Dark Tutoring World, and which tutor has the most students..."
So, no longer bound by school discipline, Zhang Yu began practicing the Grievance Fiend Art, while Bai Zhenzhen practiced it while also trying to Body Tempering with the Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set.
The two planned to cultivate until nightfall, then make a trip to the Dark Learning Gang Park, which they hadn't visited in a long time.
