On his way back to the dormitory, Zhang Yu kept trying out different combinations of gravity.

In the end, we used the custom mode.

Since less physical exertion occurs during daytime study and classes, he uses 20 times the force of gravity to temper his body to the extreme without causing physical damage. Zhang Yu calls this the Daytime Study Mode."

When working on construction sites, the mode used is 10x gravity, and for certain strong parts, it is 12x, 15x, and 18x gravity, which Zhang Yu calls the Night Work Mode.

Zhang Yu understood that as his Physical Strength continued to increase, the multiplier of the gravity he trained would also be gradually increased, and he had to try to maintain a state that was as close to his limit as possible!

Amidst the blazing flames, Zhang Yu felt his muscles gradually deteriorate under the intense heat, and his powerful physique slowly turned to ashes!

Under immense pressure, Zhang Yu felt his bones shattering inch by inch, his entire body gradually turning into a pile of mud!

In excruciating pain, Zhang Yu felt blood flowing from his seven orifices, his organs gradually decaying and rotting, and he felt himself walking step by step toward death!

Inside the classroom, Zhang Yu suddenly woke up, removed his Spirit Realm Mask, and saw in his Eye Remains that there were 10 seconds left before class started!

Zhang Yu took a deep breath, trying his best to recover from the ordeal he had just experienced in the Spirit Realm!

By purchasing a monthly subscription to the Spirit Realm Service from Hammer Heart Residence, coupled with the consciousness acceleration function, Zhang Yu was able to experience death more than ten times during each class break!

Under that extreme pressure of death, Zhang Yu could feel his Level 20 Remnant Ox Self-Sacrifice Heart Art being frantically activated each time, tempering his Dao Heart time and time again!

"Damn it... this is really paying money to suffer!"

Zhang Yu's account balance Physical Strength: 7.3 Dao Heart Spirit Coin. With the Spirit Root Fusion of Magical Power Quality Spirit Coin, Zhang Yu could feel his strength growing rapidly again!

He couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be rich!"

In the blink of an eye, a month and a half had passed. By the end of October, Zhang Yu's Dao Heart had reached level 12 (51.5%), his Mana was 379.3, and his Physical Strength was level 12.01!

In addition, the Spirit Root Fusion has reached 80%, which provides Zhang Yu with a stronger ability to mobilize magic power and physical strength, and also improves the efficiency of Body Tempering and magic power refining!

After absorbing high-quality mana time and time again, the Magical Power Quality reached 127%, which made him feel that his Movement Method was more durable when he Martial Dao martial arts, and the power of his Gang Qi also increased!

The rapid improvement in his basic data also caused Zhang Yu's ranking to rise again in the past month and a half, from seventh place to fourth place!

Now, only Ying Xin, Gongshu Jin, and Ji Yuan Shu remain in front of Zhang Yu!

With his overall improvement and the gradual manifestation of higher-level Body Refining Cultivation Method, Zhang Yu's work efficiency at the construction site naturally increased as well!

When he returned from the construction site that night, he had earned 0.049 Spirit Coin!

"0.049 per day, 1.47 per month!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "It's still too slow. I need to be faster!"

Although his strength has increased rapidly and he has more Spirit Coin, Zhang Yu knows that he has spent even more Spirit Coin in the past month and a half!

There are now only 2.69 Spirit Coin left in the account.

The income and expenditure are still unbalanced!

"But we should be able to make it until next month!"

"If we borrow another sum of money, we should be able to last another month or two, right?"

"That should be about right!"

Besides the improvement in basic data and the increase in daily salary, Zhang Yu's biggest gain was the Civil Engineering Sacred Body!

After a month and a half of training, in addition to pouring concrete, he also did other work on the construction site, such as arranging steel bars, filling formwork, and moving materials!

During this period, by changing jobs and searching for suitable Body Refining Cultivation Method, he also advanced the Cultivation Method required for the Three Civil Engineering Sacred Body to Level 20!

Combined with the previous Earth Eating Divine Skill, Battle Demon Lifefall Skill, and Limitless Vibration Zen, I have finally collected 6 sets of Civil Engineering Sacred Body Cultivation Method!

Beginner, Civil Engineering Sacred Body <6/6) Significantly increased resistance to earthquakes, dust, toxins, noise, pressure, cancer, radiation, pollution, high temperatures, low temperatures, impacts, chopping, punctures, and hunger!

With your incredibly strong Sacred Physique, you're born to be a natural -Civil Engineering engineer; even suicide would be a very time-consuming process for you!

Looking at the initial effects of the Civil Engineering Sacred Body, Zhang Yu knew that this thing could offset many of the side effects of the Civil Engineering Cultivation Method and fight against various vibration syndromes, pneumoconiosis, radiation sickness, noise-induced hearing loss, cancer, and the like!

"But... is it merely to offset the side effects of the Cultivation Method?"

Although this Sacred Physique seems capable of offsetting various side effects, most of its resistances are currently useless for Zhang Yu, who has a strong self-healing ability. Instead, it's better for him to continue using the University Sacred Body to improve the efficiency of his Cultivation Method!

"Speaking of which, this novice Sacred Physique has so many resistances... Is there really any construction site this dangerous?"

Zhang Yu shook his head and swallowed the small piece of steel bar that had protruded from his sleeve. With the operation of the Earth Eating Divine Skill and the super digestive power provided by the University Sacred Body, he instantly transformed it into nutrients to strengthen his bones!

After finishing his bite, Zhang Yu sighed, "The only food we have on this construction site is cement bags; other materials are really hard to find!"

Over the next few days, Zhang Yu continued to study hard during the day and work hard at night. But one night, accompanied by a strong tremor, Zhang Yu felt the floor beneath his feet rise and fall slightly!

Although the tremors came and went quickly, they still surprised Zhang Yu: "Was this... an earthquake?"

A moment later, Zhang Yu saw a reassuring notice in his Eye Remains, saying that a dangerous goods explosion had occurred in the Lower Level of the University City, but everything would soon return to normal as rescue efforts continued!

Just when Zhang Yu thought it was all just an ordinary accident!

Half an hour later, all the construction workers on the 666th Layer were gathered together!

Tu Lishan's figure came into everyone's Eye Remains!

He then said, "Gentlemen, there is an urgent task that requires us to gather manpower!"

"An accidental explosion has occurred in the Lower Level, and a team of workers is needed to carry out repairs!"

"This job is urgent and somewhat dangerous, but we are willing to offer five times the salary, and it will last for about half a month!"

Upon hearing about the five-fold salary increase, some people in the room became excited. For example, Li Xiao clenched his fist, and an eager look appeared on his face!

But some people frowned and quietly retreated, like Ying Xin who shook her head, thinking to herself, "University is not a charity!"

"Five times the salary! What exactly happened next?"

Yu Xinghan hesitated before saying, "Zhang Yu, should we go? Five times the pay...! One day's work is equivalent to five days' work, but the offer is so high... I have a feeling this isn't as simple as it seems!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yu contacted Zhang Pianpian directly to inquire about the situation.

Zhang Pianpian replied, "An explosion occurred at the Underground Pharmaceutical Factory. The Fire Calamity has been extinguished by several teachers working together, but the site has been severely damaged, and a large amount of raw materials have leaked. We need you to go there to carry out repair work!"

After asking his Elder Sister about the situation, Zhang Yu looked at the registration notice that popped up, and thinking about the resistance brought by his Civil Engineering Sacred Body, he finally chose to register!

He turned to Yu Xinghan beside him and said, "Don't rush to register. Let me go down and check the situation first. If things don't look good, we'll leave!"

Twenty minutes later, following the directions in the Eye Remains, Zhang Yu arrived at the Layer 2 of the Ten Thousand Laws University City!

Not far away, a large gate was broken, twisted, and lay crookedly on the ground!

Beyond that was a vast expanse of ruins, so unrecognizable from its original state!

Tukayama's figure appeared in the Eye Remains of the many workers. He said, "Everyone, due to the explosion, the Spiritual Energy channels inside the pharmaceutical factory have been severed, and the Formation has been temporarily cut off. You will not be able to connect to the Spirit Realm Network after you go in!"

"So now I'm sending you the factory blueprints and your respective tasks!"

"Everyone, proceed to your respective target locations and begin your work according to the markings on the blueprints!"

"Although the Fire Calamity inside the factory has been extinguished, there is still some danger, so everyone must be careful!"

"And everything in the pharmaceutical factory is classified as a university and company secret, so a confidentiality agreement needs to be signed!"

On the other side, before entering the factory ruins, Zhang Yu had already switched the Chain Law Diagram to the Civil Engineering Sacred Body. Looking at the resistances on the Civil Engineering Sacred Body, he felt a sense of security!

He then stepped into the pharmaceutical factory area while looking at the map. Seeing the collapsed factory buildings and smelling the intense burnt smell in the air, he wondered what had exploded with such power!

Just then, Zhang Yu suddenly stared blankly at a wall, because there was a huge palm print on it!

As Zhang Yu continued to delve deeper, he discovered that the ruins were filled with palm prints, fist prints, sword marks, and the like!

Zhang Yu thought in surprise, "Was this an accidental explosion? Is there some kind of fight going on here?"

Fu Ji said, "Heh heh, it seems it wasn't an accidental explosion; someone attacked this pharmaceutical factory!"

Zhang Yu exclaimed in surprise, "An attack? Who attacked this place? Could someone really attack the pharmaceutical factory in Ten Thousand Laws University City?"

Fu Ji: "Who knows!"

Just then, accompanied by a loud explosion, a wave of heat erupted not far away, engulfing several workers!

Zhang Yu watched as the Qi Refining laborers were rapidly dried out and their skin scorched by the high temperature, eventually collapsing to the ground severely injured.

At the same time, plumes of thick purple smoke rose from the location of the explosion!

Someone shouted, "It's a leak of toxic substances from the pharmaceutical factory!"

Just as some workers were about to flee, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had swelled to five meters in height sneered and said, "What are you afraid of? Don't move! Proceed with the repairs according to plan!"

"Once the Spiritual Opportunity Circuit is repaired and the factory area is restored to its Formation, the situation will be under control very quickly!"

Under his direction, the situation quickly stabilized, and Zhang Yu joined in to clear the rubble!

Zhang Yu quickly discovered that the factory area was fraught with danger!

Explosions and heat waves occur frequently, and various toxic substances leak throughout the factory area like a pot of thick chemical soup!

Outside the factory, Ying Xin thought to himself, "Nothing good is bound to come!"

She came down out of curiosity to see what was going on, thinking to herself, "I wonder if five times the salary will be enough to cover the medical expenses!"

As the high temperatures and toxic environment at the site intensified, a large number of Qi Refining workers chose to withdraw, followed by a small number of Foundation Establishment workers who also chose to give up!

Watching Zhang Yu and Li Xiao rushing in and out, constantly transporting materials and continuing to participate in the repair work under these circumstances, Ying Xin thought to herself, "One floor of people! They're really going all out!"

"But this is gamble!"

Ying Xin didn't care about Zhang Yu and Li Xiao's desperate efforts. In her opinion, such desperate efforts were too self-degrading and a last resort when they were poor. Anyway, she would definitely not participate in such dangerous work that could result in losses!

However, thinking about Zhang Yu and Li Xiao's recent improvement in rankings, a look of understanding flashed in Ying Xin's eyes!

"In just five months, Zhang Yu jumped from the teens to seventh place, and now he's fourth in the class, only one place behind me!"

"It seems he really did spend a lot of money, just like Li Xiao!"

"However, Li Xiao had already been living beyond his means for some time and was on the verge of collapse!"

Thinking of Li Xiao to cultivate together several times recently, making all sorts of excuses, Ying Xin shook her head. "It seems... Zhang Yu is also about to collapse, which is why he's working so hard to make money!"
