What are my plans for the future?

Upon hearing Director Gao's question, many thoughts flashed through Zhang Yu's mind in an instant, before he finally answered, "I want to participate in the Top Ten League."

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, not only was Tu Lishan stunned, but even Director Gao was slightly taken aback.

Director Gao had anticipated many of Zhang Yu's responses, such as bluntly wanting to make money, staying in his position, or saying something about serving Ten Thousand Laws University...

But he never expected that the other party would actually want to participate in the Top Ten League?

At that moment, Director Gao's gaze towards Zhang Yu became meaningful, and he thought to himself, "This kid... is even more ambitious than I imagined!"

But Director Gao was never afraid of students with ambition and desire; in fact, he believed that the more ambitious and desire-driven a student was, the more likely they were to succeed!

Otherwise, without ambition and desire... why bother cultivating immortality? Wouldn't it be better to just be a mortal, living a life of leisure and waiting to die?

Originally, Director Gao thought Zhang Yu was just a first-year student risking his life for his future, but now that he knows the other party actually plans to participate in the Top Ten League, he actually thinks more highly of Zhang Yu!

"To participate in the competition, you must be among the top in the entire department. Now, looking at Zhang Yu in front of you, Director Gao said calmly: You are still far from being good enough!"

Zhang Yu calmly replied, "I will try my best!"

Seeing the determination in Zhang Yu's eyes and feeling the unwavering resolve under his scrutiny, Director Gao smiled slightly. This Zhang Yu was even more interesting and outstanding than he had originally expected!

"Alright, don't say I didn't give you a chance!" Director Gao said calmly, "From now on, you'll participate in at least one construction site project every semester. Since it's for the department, it's also an opportunity for you to hone your skills!"

However, you are free to choose which project to participate in!

As he spoke, one Civil Engineering Department project after another appeared in Zhang Yu's Eye Remains through the Spirit Realm Projection!

There's the construction of war fortresses on the front lines, the renovation of Cemetery deep in the mountains, the transformation of the Spirit Realm Network Data Center, the expansion of the Joyous Union University Amusement Park, and the construction of the Flying Sword Laboratory!

Looking at these projects, Zhang Yu's mind immediately raced with various thoughts. Staring at one of them, he thought to himself, "They even have this? I definitely have to go."

"But not now!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I'll have to wait until I've recovered from my physical exhaustion before I go back to the construction site to freeload!"

Director Gao continued, "Of course, the department won't just make you do the work!"

"In addition to your salary, you'll have access to medication discounts; you can directly ask the Medicine Academy for discounted medications in the future!"

"We will gradually make some experimental drugs that are not available on the market available to you!"

As they spoke, a list of medicines to purchase, along with the contact information for the Medicine Academy, were sent to Zhang Yu's Eye Remains as a file!

After saying this, Director Gao paused, seemingly considering something, before finally saying, "Starting today, this student dormitory suite on the 318th Floor will be temporarily lent to you. The address, condition, and access key for the dormitory on the 318th Floor have been sent to Zhang Yu!"

This is a 15-square-meter room with one living room, two bedrooms, and Upper Dorm height of 6 meters and comes with a large monthly supply of Spiritual Energy energy. The dormitory floor also provides paid services such as laundry, cleaning, Training Room, and laboratories!

Director Gao continued, "I've also granted you access to the Anti-Gravity Channel; you can use it freely from now on!"

Zhang Yu knew that the central Anti-Gravity Channel was a high-speed passage that ran through the entire Ten Thousand Laws University City. Through the Anti-Gravity Channel, he could quickly reach any floor of Ten Thousand Laws University City in a few seconds. Whether it was the dormitory on the 318th Floor or the Anti-Gravity Channel, it obviously greatly increased the convenience of Zhang Yu's life and cultivation, saving him a lot of time!

But that wasn't all. Director Gao looked at Zhang Yu and offered one last temptation!

Director Gao: "If you can get first place in your freshman class at the end of this semester, then I will accept you as my Registered Disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Lishan was slightly taken aback. "Director Gao didn't mention this before, did he? Could it be a last-minute decision?"

Being a disciple of Nascent Soul True Lord, even just Registered Disciple, is an opportunity that countless students dream of!

In Tu Lishan's view, with Director Gao offering so many benefits and such a huge opportunity, wouldn't Zhang Yu be so motivated that he'd cultivate relentlessly, even to the point of near death?

However, the next moment, the alarm bells in Tu Lishan's mind went off, and he immediately realized what was going on, thinking to himself, "No, Director Gao probably didn't expect Zhang Yu to actually beat Ji Yuan Shu and take first place in the class!"

"He was just using this opportunity as a Registered Disciple as bait to lure Zhang Yu in, so that Zhang Yu would continue to fight desperately without stopping!"

But Tu Lishan also understood that the fact that Director Gao could make such promises was enough to demonstrate Zhang Yu's excellence. After all, ordinary students wouldn't even have the chance to get Director Gao to make such promises!

Seeing Zhang Yu's changing expression, Director Gao patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't get excited. I promised you, and I will definitely keep my word. Just go for it!"

Zhang Yu, however, began to worry about something. "Damn it, if I perform too well in the Civil Engineering Department, will they try to stop me from transferring to the Artifact Crafting Department? Will they force me to find a master? I don't want to spend my whole life on construction sites."

Looking at Director Gao's smile, Zhang Yu finally asked, "Can I live in room 17 with my current roommate?"

This was clearly a minor matter for Director Gao, who casually remarked, "You can handle the dormitory assignment yourself." Leaving the Civil Engineering Department building, Zhang Yu suddenly realized that this agreement hadn't even involved a signed contract!

Fu Ji chuckled and said, "For such a big shot, signing a contract with you would be a constraint! On the contrary, if you don't sign a contract, he has plenty of ways to make you abide by the agreement, but if he doesn't want to abide by the agreement, there's nothing you can do!"

Zhang Yu took a deep breath and thought to himself, "I still need to become stronger, richer, and keep climbing higher!"

Then he shared the news about the new dormitory in the dormitory group chat!

Yu Xinghan: A 15-square-meter luxury apartment?

Le Mulan: This is so much closer to the classroom!

Zhang Pianpian: This Upper Dorm provides a lot of data every month!

That very evening, Zhang Yu moved into the dormitory on the 318th Floor with Yu Xinghan, Le Mulan, and Zhang Pianpian!

Looking at the dormitory room, which had expanded from 5 square meters to 15 square meters, Zhang Yu felt that standing here, his body no longer needed to suppress his muscles so much, and his hands and feet could finally stretch out a little!

Zhang Yu then sent a list of discounted medicines to Le Mulan and asked, "Mu Lan, could you help me see which medicines are the best deal and most suitable for me?"

Just then, someone tagged him in the Foundation Establishment Class group chat!

"Is it Ji Yuan Shu?"

Ten Thousand Laws University City!

A 100-square-meter suite on the 450th Floor!

Ji Yuan Shu's consciousness returned from the depths of the Spirit Realm, concluding his one-on-one finance course!

Although he was a Civil Engineering Department student this past semester, he didn't pay much attention to the Civil Engineering Department engineering courses, but instead focused on the Finance Department courses!

After all, according to the plan, he was merely a passerby in the Civil Engineering Department; the Finance Department was his true home! And the Heavenly Prodigy of the Finance Department were his real competitors in the future.

For Ji Yuan Shu, the only thing to do is to ensure that he gets first place in the class. He should focus more on the courses in the Finance Department and prepare for future competition in the Finance Department!

Just then, a message caught his Eye Remains —it was from his mentor Deputy Director Lin of the Civil Engineering Department!

Director Lin: What happened? Why are we only 26 points ahead of second place in the final rankings?

Sensing the reproach and disappointment in his Master's message, Ji Yuan Shu quickly explained, "Because I spent a lot of time on the Finance Department professional courses!"

Director Lin: You mean that studying finance actually results in worse grades than studying only Civil Engineering?

Director Lin: Is this what I meant when I asked you to study finance? Ji Yuan Shu didn't answer, but instead recalled what his master had once told him!

"Yuan Shu, the Civil Engineering Department... it's like picking up leftovers from a mud pit!"

"If you only think about Civil Engineering projects and don't want to get into finance, you'll spend your whole life eating dirt on construction sites!"

Even if we manage to generate profits University War, it's just enough to barely survive and eat scraps!

Only by grasping the Luck and relying on the Humanity's Great Momentum can we go further!

Memories flashed through Ji Yuan Shu's mind!

At that moment, Director Lin sent another message saying: This year, regardless of the grade, we must surpass them and completely drive down their stock prices.

Director Lin, make good use of the skills you learned in the Finance Department.

Director Lin: For your final Comprehensive Score in freshman year, I want you to be more than 100 points ahead of the second place. Seeing Director Lin's request, Ji Yuan Shu did not refuse!

Because he knew that in this struggle over the Civil Engineering Department department's direction, he was only at one corner of the battle, and he had no right to refuse!

And... he also believed he could do it!

"I have indeed mastered the basics of the Luck Daoist Arts in the Finance Department!"

"In that case, let's give it a try!"

After glancing at the current class rankings, Ji Hengshu lightly tapped her fingertip, Luck Divination service for the Finance Department appeared in her Eye Remains!

Zhang Yu and Gongshu Jin Jin's rankings, grades, and even their spending lists, loan records, working hours, classroom performance, Health Condition, addresses, income, and savings were all revealed!

Next came predictions about interests, personality, potential, lifespan, and so on, all of which emerged one by one!

In most people's eyes, I was bound to win!

Help Ji Yuan Shu to anticipate and understand an individual's thoughts!

"The hearts and minds of the people, and the overall situation, are in my hands!"

Having confirmed the general trend, Ji Yuan Shu understood that the next step was to further guide people's hearts and minds and borrow from the Luck!
