Within the Magnetic Channel.

Gongshu Jin continued his rapid advance while reviewing the information he had received in his Eye Remains.

Immediately after making progress, Gongshu Jin posted on his Moments about finishing seventh in the Civil Engineering Competition and securing the right to use the Profound Yellow Mountain Suppressing Seal.

In Gongshu Jin's view, this was perfectly reasonable. Progress should be flaunted; otherwise, how could loan amounts increase? How could Lineage bonds be strengthened? How could blood ties be maintained? How could friendships be preserved?

As soon as he posted this on his Moments, a flood of comments appeared.

Some offered congratulations, some inquired about details, some asked if he needed Emergency Fund, and various people selling medicine, Dao Arts services, and various Immortal Dao products kept trying to sell him promotional offers!

Even some of his fellow villagers from the Fourth Layer Second Layer sent him inquiries!

Although Gongshu Jin also joined some Fourth Layer people's Fellow Villagers Group on the Second Layer and added some Fourth Layer people's hometown as friends!

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single thing, not a single wonder, not a single novel to read!

However, being in the Civil Engineering Department, and neither ranked in the department nor first in his class, he was not particularly noticeable among most of his fellow students from the Fourth Layer!

It was rare for a fellow villager from the Fourth Layer to ask him a question, and Gongshu Jin couldn't help but feel happy!

Just then, another person sent him a message!

Ji Yuan Shu: Gongshu Jin, hello!

Gongshu Jin thought to himself, "Hmm? Isn't this Ji Yuan Shu, who used to be the top student in the class and is now the fifth?"

With the calculation of the Comprehensive Score, the class rankings, which were already quite close, immediately underwent drastic changes!

Gongshu Jin, Ying Xin, and Yu Xinghan, who were originally ranked third, fourth, and fifth respectively, each moved up one place, pushing Ji Yuan Shu down to fifth!

Whenever Gongshu Jin thought of the Sixth Layer Lord, whom he once looked up to, now whom he had trampled underfoot, he felt that the money was well spent!

Gongshu Jin: What do you want?

Ji Yuan Shu: Did your team give the other Seven Absolutes Wonders to Zhang Yu?

Gongshu Jin: Yes.

Ji Yuan Shu: The War Faction has given you a lot of support, hasn't it?

Gongshu Jin: We definitely wouldn't have gotten this far without Director Gao's support.

Ji Yuan Shu: [Thumbs up]

After finishing his conversation with Ji Yuan Shu, an idea popped into Gongshu Jin's mind!

"Speaking of which, if I could master the three of the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering before Ji Yuan Shu and grasp the Small Three Harmonies, then in my future career in Civil Engineering, I might always be one step ahead of him!"

How can I get one step ahead of Ji Yuan Shu?

Gongshu Jin tried spending money on himself, but ultimately failed!

Later, he spent a lot of money on the Competition Team and successfully obtained the Mystic Mountain-Suppressing Seal!

"To be precise, it wasn't about throwing money at the Competition Team, but rather about investing in Zhang Yu's confidence!"

"I need to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Yu. If there's another opportunity like this next time, I must seize it!"

What does Zhang Yu like?

Information about Zhang Yu flashed through Gongshu Jin's mind!

"Overtime work? Taking medicine? Eating? Massage?"

Ying Clan Ancestral Hall Group

Ying Xin: I got seventh place in the Civil Engineering Department competition.

Ying Xin: Color Matching Screenshot

Third Generation Clan Leader: Good, good, good, has the ashes been used?

Ying Xin: Zeng Xiangzu, thanks to the fact that your ashes were smeared on the field, we managed to hold on for the first half of the last game.

Fifth Generation Clan Leader: Now you can be considered a staunch student of the War Faction. Next, you need to find a good teacher.

Fifth Generation Madam: Send your ashes as you wish; if you don't have enough money, we'll send you more.

Fourth Generation Clan Leader: Especially that Zhang Yu, you need to cultivate a good relationship with him, and it would be best if he could join our Lineage as well.

Ying Xin: I've tested him, but I feel like this person is the kind of Ascetic Faction who's not interested in this kind of thing; all he cares about is cultivation and working overtime!

Feeling the love and care from her Lineage elders, Ying Xin smiled slightly!

Suddenly her gaze sharpened, and she asked, "Where is Tianzu?"

Fifth Generation Clan Leader: The first generation's thinking is temporarily frozen.

The Fifth Generation Clan Leader: "The cost of maintaining his mind is getting higher and higher, so he can only choose to freeze most of the time to survive at the lowest cost!"

Fifth Generation Clan Leader: But it's alright, as long as we pay his fees on time, he can hold on a little longer!

Ying Xin sighed inwardly. Even if they could hold on, with more descendants being frozen, and those who weren't frozen becoming increasingly unfamiliar with the First Generation Clan Leader... the suspension of fees was only a matter of time!

Unless the descendants can rise above others, achieve great success, and make a fortune, it is impossible for their ancestors to live another life until they can no longer afford to pay the fees!

Yu Xinghan used his Three-Eyed Divine Power to continuously observe the muscle texture of Shi Huaiyu in front of him!

Then he channeled his energy through his fingertips, channeling streams of power deep into the opponent's body!

At the same time, a surge of magical power followed and entered the opponent's meridians!

This is a massage Cultivation Method that Yu Xinghan learned from a professor of Construction Site Health Management. It can improve muscle tone, relieve wear and tear on meridians, and enhance the efficiency of magical cultivation!

However, while learning these Cultivation Method, Yu Xinghan also realized that they were also deadly techniques that were adept at destroying the body and meridians!

When he asked the professor about this, the professor chuckled and said, "It does indeed incorporate some ancient assassination techniques!"

"But just so you know, in modern times, killing mainly depends on money. If you have money, you can kill however you want. If you don't have money, you can't even afford to kill ordinary people. Assassination techniques are completely useless!"

"You have a great talent for physical therapy and rehabilitation. With the University Realm undergoing dramatic changes and the shadow of war looming, I believe that rehabilitation and physical therapy will have a huge market not only on construction sites but also in many other fields in the future. You must work hard!"

Seeing Shi Huaiyu let out a comfortable groan, Yu Xinghan suggested, "Senior, I'll give you a kidney maintenance treatment later. Do you want to get a membership card?"

"I guarantee it'll be cheaper than going to the store!"

During this period, Yu Xinghan turned almost every member of the Competition Team into a client, and then used them to develop more clients from higher grades!

Thinking about his steadily rising Comprehensive Score and income level, Yu Xinghan was even more grateful that he hadn't wasted his time joining the Competition Team!

Just then, Yu Xinghan received a message from Lian Tianji!

Lian Tianji: Brother Xing Han, I saw your Moments. Congratulations on getting seventh place in the competition!

Yu Xinghan: I also saw the photos you posted on your Moments. Is that girl your classmate from Joyous Union University?

Lian Tianji: That's me!

Yu Xinghan: Huh?

Lian Tianji: After I successfully Foundation Establishment, I transferred to the Foundation Establishment Yang Polarity Class. Here, only the top student in the class can be a man!

Yu Xinghan: Huh?

Lian Tianji: Conversely, in the Yin Polarity Class, only the top student in the class can become a girl!

Lian Tianji: I thought it over carefully before choosing a class, and in the end I decided to endure the hardship first and enjoy the reward later!

Just then, Shi Huaiyu, one of Yu Xinghan's subordinates, groaned and said, "Yu Xinghan, what are you doing?"

Yu Xinghan apologized repeatedly and refocused his attention on Shi Huaiyu!

At the same time, a voice echoed in his mind!

"Zhang Yu, Joyous Union University is not our paradise."

"But if they're not local students, but tourists..."

Yu Xinghan had to admit that he had become interested!

Just then, Li Xuelian also sent a message!

Li Xuelian: Good results! It wasn't a waste of time to train you and Zhang Yu!

Li Xuelian: I've contacted a group of wounded Security Department personnel for you!

Li Xuelian: Why don't you try to do business with them?

Yu Xinghan returned to his dormitory and was about to tell Zhang Yu about the information about Joyous Union University, but after glancing at Zhang Yu's current status, he knew that Zhang Yu was talking to Bai Zhenzhen!

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu and said happily, "Your team got seventh place in the Department Competition this time?"

Zhang Yu nodded and began to recount the process of the competition, which made Bai Zhenzhen on the other end of the line smile broadly!

Bai Zhenzhen: "Great! Now we're getting closer and closer to the Top Ten League!"

Zhang Yu nodded. "Yes, A-Zhen, let's improve together, and maybe we can even join a sect together in the future!"

Fu Ji thought to herself, "One is participating in the Inter-School League, and the other is participating in the Department Competition. The difference is huge. Bai Zhenzhen is really trying to flatter Zhang Yu!"

Bai Zhenzhen: "Haha, the Azure Silk Flying Sword Mom gave you was quite useful in this competition, wasn't it!"

Zhang Yu: "It's easy to use, but there's not enough. Could you give me more?"

Bai Zhenzhen: "Do you really think you can achieve this just by plucking a hair? It's forged from the Seven Emotions Sword Intent, how can it just come about like that?"

Bai Zhenzhen: "Besides, as your strength increases, this Azure Silk Flying Sword will become increasingly inadequate. You can just get a new Law Treasure then!"

Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "There's no need to change it. Even if I don't use this Azure Silk Flying Sword in battle, it can still connect to the network in crucial moments. I want to keep it with me all the time!"

Bai Zhenzhen suddenly asked curiously, "You always carry it with you?"

Zhang Yu smiled and raised his right hand, revealing the Azure Silk Flying Sword, which was neatly wrapped around his finger, and said, "Yeah, I always carry it with me. It can connect to the internet in the wild and cut materials on construction sites. It's very convenient!"

Bai Zhenzhen looked at the strands of hair on the other person's fingers and asked, "So... you don't wear them when you play, do you?"

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, then snapped angrily, "That's not playing, that's working, that's making money! Don't forget you were raised by me like this until you graduated high school!"

Bai Zhenzhen: "Mmm... work!"

Bai Zhenzhen then said, "By the way, could you please stop talking so much nonsense with Wen Wuya?"

Zhang Yu nodded. "I just hand out some stuff every day and I get paid. I can't stop!"

Bai Zhenzhen rolled her eyes. "Every time he sees me now, all he talks about is Civil Engineering and construction sites. I'm getting so fed up with him!"

Zhang Yu said, "Then let me think of a way!"

After Bai Zhenzhen ended the call, the voice of the Seven Emotions Divine Lord echoed in her ears, "What do you two take Wen Wuya for?"

Bai Zhenzhen was startled by the sudden voice, then patted her chest and said, "Treat it as Zhang Yu's wallet!"

The Seven Emotions Divine Lord asked curiously, "Even now, don't you still feel that the gap between you and Zhang Yu is too great?"

"Let alone Zhang Yu himself, even the best students in their department are far inferior to Wen Wuya!"

"Wen Wuya is a friend on your level, and from Chang Yuan's perspective, he's a more suitable connection for you!"

Bai Zhenzhen said, "Mom, if you only care about money and profit, is that still affection? How can you cultivate the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao?"

The Seven Emotions Divine Lord said calmly, "If wealth and profit are used as a measure of emotions, why can't this also be considered the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao?"

Bai Zhenzhen said, "But if we can overcome all of this and use pure emotion, the ultimate emotion, to drive the Sword Intent, isn't that what you, Mom, would want to see even more?"

Are you trying to figure out what I'm thinking?

The Seven Emotions Divine Lord smiled, "The time and lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator are far greater than you imagine. Instead of trying to guess my purpose, you should spend more time recognizing your own truest thoughts!"
