Granted the Fifth Wonder

The chaos caused by the Nectar Coin lasted for several days in Myriad Law City.

But perhaps because university life was too fulfilling, or perhaps because people had too many issues to worry about, the chaos in the University City gradually subsided after a few days.

The streets are still bustling with people, construction sites are still in full swing, and the various wounds inflicted on the city by the Financial Storm are being repaired through overtime work.

The entire University City was as busy as ever, and there was no trace of the Financial Storm on people's faces or on the streets.

This even gave Zhang Yu the illusion that the Financial Storm had never happened.

Only when Zhang Yu looked at the messages about leaving the class group and the decrease in the number of people could he truly feel that none of this was an illusion. The Financial Storm had not only struck, but had also taken many people from the Material Realm to the Spirit Realm.

Just then, a message came from the Songyang Fellow Villagers Group that Hu Yuntao's memorial service had begun.

Zhang Yu clicked on the link and saw Hu Yuntao's black and white portrait appear above his Eye Remains, saying, "Everyone, I apologize for disturbing you all by inviting you to my farewell party."

"I was born on the first floor, in the Breeding Base the Protected Area in Songyang City. I was admitted to Red Pagoda High School at the age of 18, and to Heavenly Demon University at the age of 20. I worked hard all my life, but I did not leave peacefully in the end. I was filled with pain, resentment and regret."

"They say the first year after death is the most important year, so I hope everyone will patronize this place if they have business opportunities..."

Listening to Hu Yuntao's speech, Zhang Yu shook his head with emotion. This was not the first memorial service in the Spirit Realm that he had attended.

The deceased usually presides over the ceremony, reminiscing about the past and taking the opportunity to promote their Soul Cultivator business to fellow villagers and classmates, hoping to get more job opportunities after death.

"The Immortal Dao immortality is unpredictable."

Seeing these things happen, Zhang Yu could only secretly warn himself that he must be cautious every step of the way on the path to Immortal Dao, and that he must never participate in Coin Speculation without reliable insider information.

Upon arriving at the construction site, he continued working while simultaneously cultivating the Dragon Vein Sensing Chapter.

After these days of rigorous training at the construction site, Zhang Yu has advanced this Martial Arts to level 19.

After he had been working for a while, Feng Tingting sent him a message: Zhang Yu, have you heard? Ping Han from your department is staying at Joyous Union University to work and pay off his debts.

Zhang Yu had already blocked Ping Han and genuinely didn't know anything about him.

Hearing what Feng Tingting said, Zhang Yu asked curiously: What kind of jobs can he get at Joyous Union University?

Feng Tingting sent a photo: [Yin Artifact]

"No way..." Zhang Yu cursed inwardly. "You sent me this? Is this harassment? Don't you have any sense of boundaries between classmates?"

But Feng Tingting's next words shocked Zhang Yu.

Feng Tingting: This is Ping Han

Zhang Yu: Huh?

Feng Tingting: This was posted on his Moments, didn't you see it? He's going to attend the next Fellow Cultivators' Assembly.

Zhang Yu: What exactly happened?

Feng Tingting: After the High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit Rampage Incident, Joyous Union University was short a large number of spirits.

Feng Tingting: Moreover, it has also given rise to a distrust of High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit.

Feng Tingting: So after a new batch of Yin Artifact was produced, a group of Soul Cultivator were recruited to temporarily act as artifact spirits.

Feng Tingting: This is Ping Han

Feng Tingting: To be precise, [the Yin Artifact] are what Ping Han is referring to.

Zhang Yu stared at the circled area on the map, a moment of astonishment washing over him: Huh?

Feng Tingting: This is a high-grade Yin Artifact; how could Ping Han possibly control it all by himself?

Feng Tingting then reminded him, "By the way, Ping Han is currently borrowing money from Fourth Office he can find. Don't lend him any; he won't be able to pay it back."

Feng Tingting: If he hasn't redeemed his physical body by the end of his senior year, he probably won't graduate.

Feng Tingting: At that time, I might only be able to take the "Bachelor-to-Junior-College Track" route.

Zhang Yu knew that the so-called "Bachelor-to-Junior-College Track" route was a joke about those who couldn't graduate from the top ten and ended up with an Junior College's degree. After all, for many Junior College, even those who were eliminated from the top ten were highly sought after.

After closing the conversation with Feng Tingting, Zhang Yu felt a pang of regret, once again thankful that he hadn't fallen into the trap of the Nectar Coin due to momentary greed.

As Ji Yuan Shu watched the repayment reminders constantly popping up in his Eye Remains, he slowly slumped to the ground.

"We have no choice but to continue seeking help from the Evil God."

"The Evil God must have a way to save me."

Just as he was wondering what to do next, several notifications appeared in front of him. Before he could even read the contents of the notifications, he heard shouts coming from outside the door.

As he looked at the Patrol Team outside the door, wondering what was going on, he heard one of them say, "Have you been contacting this person online?"

Looking at the content projected by the other party, Ji Yuan Shu's heart sank, because the other party's avatar was the Evil God he had been in contact with in the Spirit Realm.

Just when Ji Yuan Shu thought he had been caught for believing in Evil God, he heard the Patrol Team in front of him say, "This person is suspected of using the guise of recruiting believers under the guise of Evil God to commit fraud, with hundreds of victims."

"This time, the Thunderburst of the Nectar Coin scandal exposed his wrongdoing."

"When we searched his chat history, we found that you were also fooled..."

Ji Yuan Shu could no longer hear what the other person said next; only one sentence kept echoing in his mind. "Scam? Been tricked?"

"Impossible! I performed the Ritual and gained Luck!"

"How could it be a scam?"

Just as Ji Yuan Shu was still in shock, the Patrol Team continued, "Do you have time? Come back with us to make a statement."

When Ji Yuan Shu left the Patrol Bureau, he was still in a daze, his mind replaying the words of the Patrol Team.

"This fraudster graduated with the Finance Department, but he had no connections or resources. He committed fraud to make money."

"We've recovered some of the stolen money, and we'll return it to you. You can keep it yourself."

"Go back and study hard, work overtime, and stop having unrealistic dreams. Evil God are just urban legends; don't believe them."

Looking at the portion of the embezzled funds that were returned, Ji Yuan Shu felt as if the whole process was a dream.

With this small sum of Spirit Coin, he no longer needed to cultivate his Soul Cultivator and could barely continue living as a human being, though he would have to be a truly poor person.

However, Ji Yuan Shu still felt a strong sense of unease about the whole incident. He felt like a pawn in a larger game, but everything was shrouded in a fog, making it impossible for him to see what was going on.

Ping Han: "Yu-ge, I was wrong!"

Ping Han: "Please forgive me."

Ping Han: "I'll kowtow to you right now! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Ping Han: "Please, please lend me some money..."

Hearing the apology voice message sent by Ping Han from another account, Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly and silently chose to block him.

He heard that Ping Han was now borrowing money from everyone he could find, even from freshmen in the Qi Refining stage.

Just then, Zhang Yu heard laughter from the side. He turned around and saw Yu Xinghan looking both happy and scared.

Before the Thunderburst Nectar Coin, Yu Xinghan made a small profit of 12 Spirit Coin and withdrew in time, thus escaping unscathed.

Seeing Zhang Yu's gaze, Yu Xinghan couldn't help but say, "To snatch Spirit Coin from a Deity Transformation Divine Lord and run away, that was really exciting!"

He sighed, "But if I were to come again next time, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare."

Zhang Yu shook his head. "Be careful, it's best to avoid this stuff."

A moment later, Zhang Yu arrived at the construction site on the 669th floor and met Director Gao.

Director Gao said, "The Seven Civil Engineering Tests tests I'm giving you are very simple. You just need to complete the current floor within one hour."

Hearing Director Gao's demands, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly that this backdoor approach was truly outrageous. Completing one floor in an hour was considered acceptable?

But if I'm the one using connections, then there's no problem.

After easily passing the test set by Director Gao, Zhang Yu was awarded the fifth unique skill in civil engineering: "Civil Engineering into Finger Pointing Turns to Steel".

This is a technique that can temporarily enhance the strength of mud and sand, and even transform soil into Cultivation Method, through magical power and Gang Qi.

In addition, Zhang Yu also acquired the qualification to purchase a Dharma Skeleton called Earthshaking Steel Wave, which is a magical Dharma Skeleton of Finger Pointing Turns to Steel.

Zhang Yu wasn't interested in the purchase qualification, so he asked another question, "Teacher, can I buy the blueprints for this Dharma Skeleton?"

Director Gao: "Drawings?"

Zhang Yu said, "I was thinking... if I directly asked a classmate from the Artifact Crafting Department to help me craft this Dharma Skeleton, would it be much cheaper?"

Director Gao nodded slightly and said, "That's fine, but you can only purchase small-scale private customization rights; large-scale commercial production is not allowed..."

But halfway through his sentence, Director Gao chuckled and shook his head. How could Zhang Yu possibly be involved in large-scale commercial production?

Looking at the blueprints he had just purchased, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "These involve three weapon-refining techniques that I haven't mastered yet, so I can't directly learn the contents of these blueprints for the time being."

Although Zhang Yu did not intend to equip the Dharma Skeleton, he was still very interested in mastering the blueprints and production capabilities of this Dharma Skeleton.

On one hand, it was for his future transformation of this Dharma Skeleton into Law Treasure to complement his Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering.

On the other hand...

"If I really encounter a critical moment that requires me to increase my combat power..." Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Then temporarily activating the Dharma Skeleton to temporarily boost my combat power wouldn't be a bad idea."

"At worst, we can just put the body parts back on after we're done using them."

After imparting the "Finger Pointing Turns to Steel" Cultivation Method to Zhang Yu, Director Gao nodded in satisfaction. "I've already spoken with another professor, and next month I'll arrange for you to undergo another test of the Seven Civil Engineering Tests Skills. If you succeed, you can cultivate the sixth Turning Soil into Gold.'"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but nod excitedly. Unbeknownst to him, the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power was drawing ever closer.

Director Gao then added, "Next month, you'll be participating in the Inter-University League with Mo Shang Jin."

"However, two guys on Mo Shang Jin's team have seen their value plummet due to the Nectar Coin, selling off a lot of their Dharma Skeleton, and their strength is no longer sufficient to continue competing."

"I'm currently selecting people to fill the vacancies. If you have any recommendations, feel free to let me know."
