Confrontation Before the Divine Lord (Thanks to 'Madness Never Ends' for stuffing Zhang Yu full of dog food)
"That bastard Feng Yuhan!"
Magnetic Extremes True Lord was very dissatisfied with Feng Yuhan's actions in the Research Department.
"When did it become his place to interfere in my lab?"
"Now he even wants to control important experimental subjects. Will he start checking everyone's chat history and monitoring everyone's Eye Remains in the future?"
"He's already monitored and checked everything, so what's there for me to investigate?"
"As the project progresses and becomes more important, will he even start controlling my schedule? Will he also interfere with the project's funding and personnel in the future?"
Of course, although Magnetic Extremes True Lord was extremely dissatisfied with Feng Yuhan's actions and was prepared to retaliate, she also understood that... Feng Yuhan's actions were justified.
As the importance of the project continues to increase, the control over personnel and assets will inevitably become more and more stringent.
"But I must be in charge of this control."
Magnetic Extremes True Lord knew that she had to maintain control over Project Management; she would never relinquish it.
Regarding Zhang Yu's specific situation, whether or not to leave school has its advantages and disadvantages in the eyes of Magnetic Extremes True Lord, so she plans to ask the person involved for their opinion and choose the path that offers more advantages.
Upon hearing Magnetic Extremes True Lord's question, Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and then shared his thoughts.
In fact, on the way back, he had already discussed it with Fu Ji and made a decision in his heart.
As his Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power continues to be cleared of wrongdoing, his Yin Artifact Experiment are attracting more and more attention, and going off-campus may indeed trigger some actions from other schools.
However, if they don't leave the University City, not only will their income decrease sharply, but they will also have to give up the Civil Engineering Competition they've been preparing for, which might even affect their chances of successfully Transfer Departments...
"If that's the case, my progress will be affected, and my chances of entering a sect in the future will decrease."
"Especially now that this has happened, will they further isolate me? Maybe even lock me up in a lab? Maybe monitor me 24/7?"
Zhang Yu absolutely did not want this to happen.
Moreover, compared to the potential for increasing pressure within the school, he didn't see the risks outside the school as that high.
As long as confidentiality is maintained, his safety is not low.
If one can also obtain the support and protection of Ten Thousand Methods, then the safety will be extremely high.
In truly perilous moments, there is always her Elder Sister, who resides in the Taiqing Realm, to conceal Spirit Realm Information for her.
The Divine Spiritual Root copied from Bai Zhenzhen allows him to conceal his presence.
Furthermore, the Azure Silk Flying Sword can directly connect to the network of the Patrolling Sky Sword, allowing it to request assistance from Magnetic Extremes True Lord, Director Gao, and others at any time...
Upon hearing Magnetic Extremes True Lord's question, Zhang Yu uttered his prepared statement. "Teacher, I want to go out."
"I don't want to limit my Immortal Dao Potential because of experiments. I want to earn more money and go further on the path of Immortal Dao."
"As for the risks, I believe they are manageable..."
Magnetic Extremes True Lord nodded slightly. "Your idea is good, but there are a few points that are not explored in depth enough."
"Come with me to see the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord."
"We'll discuss the specific countermeasures, their pros and cons, as we go along."
Zhang Yu asked in surprise, "Go directly to see... the Divine Lord?"
Magnetic Extremes True Lord said, "With the endorsement of the Divine Lord, most obstacles can be eliminated, and the project can achieve its maximum development."
University City, 666th Layer.
Since the completion of the 666th Layer, Zhang Yu has never entered that floor again.
Each time he passed through the Anti-Gravity Channel or the Magnetic Channel, he could only see this completely enclosed area; he didn't even know where the entrance was.
Zhang Yu was often curious about what exactly was inside this completely sealed-off 666th Layer.
A secret laboratory? A repository of important data? A treasure trove of precious Law Treasure Dharma Skeleton?
Upon arriving at this 666th Layer and seeing the blue sky, white clouds, and vast earth, Zhang Yu was astonished. "This is..."
Magnetic Extremes True Lord said calmly, "The virtual reality technology in the Spirit Realm blends reality and illusion, appearing both real and dreamlike."
Director Gao, standing to the side, said, "Don't be surprised when you see the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord."
Zhang Yu didn't know what Magnetic Extremes True Lord and Director Gao talked about, or how they managed to summon the other party. He only knew that Director Gao met him and Magnetic Extremes True Lord halfway to the 666th Layer.
At this moment, Magnetic Extremes True Lord and Director Gao were leading Zhang Yu across a plain, and soon they came across a village.
The mud-brick houses were covered with rough thatched roofs, the walls were eroded by rainwater, and the ground was covered with mud after the rain.
Hearing the sounds of hens scratching at their food, the muffled grunts from the pigsty, the sounds of women carrying water, and the coughs from the kitchen, and seeing the straw rope belts around the waists of the villagers, the tattered clothes on their bodies, and the straw sandals on their feet...
For a moment, Zhang Yu had a slight illusion, as if he had traveled through time and returned to an ancient rural village.
However, along the way, the surrounding villagers didn't even glance at them, treating him, Director Gao, and Magnetic Extremes True Lord as if they were invisible, which made Zhang Yu feel the strangeness of this place.
Magnetic Extremes True Lord explained, "None of them are True Person, so we don't need to worry about them."
The next moment, the three of them stopped simultaneously. Magnetic Extremes True Lord and Director Gao bowed slightly to a villager who was working in the fields and respectfully said, "Divine Lord."
Zhang Yu looked at the figure in front of him and was startled again. "Che Yufei?"
The Che Yufei front of them had no Foundation Establishment Domain, no ranking projection above his head, and no Spirit Realm Information visible from the inside out; he was just like an ordinary mortal.
Che Yufei glanced at the three of them and smiled slightly, saying, "Magnetic Pole, Greenwood, you've arrived?"
Then he turned to look at Zhang Yu and said calmly, "You must be Zhang Yu? You seem to recognize this new body I just bought?"
His gaze sharpened slightly, as if countless shadows flashed within it, before he smiled faintly and said, "Oh, you're both from the Civil Engineering Department, and you even participated in projects and competitions together?"
"Don't overthink it. I have Arbitrary Possession Certificate. Che Yufei is just one of the new bodies I recently bought."
Looking at the serene smile of the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord, Zhang Yu felt as if he were witnessing countless people being devoured by the same person during Financial Storm.
Zhang Yu quickly composed himself and respectfully lowered his head.
The Myriad Transformations Divine Lord chuckled and continued, "Don't be afraid. A Soul-Seizure License for Arbitrary Possession Certificate isn't a free one; it costs money. I won't just possess living people randomly; that would be letting you get away with it."
Then, the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord looked at the Magnetic Extremes True Lord and Director Gao, and casually said, "What is it? You two speak."
Magnetic Extremes True Lord immediately tapped his fingertip, and beams of light and shadow suddenly appeared.
As she showed footage of the Civil Engineering League, she said, "The reason this project's results were so quickly publicized is because Zhang Yu participated in the Civil Engineering League."
"If Zhang Yu continues to participate in the league, it will not only showcase his achievements but also provide further publicity, laying the groundwork for future product sales."
"The Civil Engineering League is an excellent opportunity for publicity."
Then, Director Gao tapped his finger to switch the screen to information about the league, pointing to the prizes for the finals and saying, "Secondly, the champion of this Civil Engineering Competition will receive a design blueprint for a Military Grade Armor specifically for construction."
Although Director Gao understood that this was a common tactic used by higher-ups to increase the intensity of competition among universities, he had to admit that the prize was indeed very attractive.
Director Gao continued, "With Zhang Yu and Mo Shang Jin this year, it's a great opportunity for the Civil Engineering Department to win the championship. This will greatly boost the reputation of our Ten Thousand Laws University's Civil Engineering Department and increase the stock prices of many companies."
Director Gao knew that many companies in the Civil Engineering Department held shares, and even the current Myriad Transformations Divine Lord indirectly held a significant number of them.
Magnetic Extremes True Lord added, "Military Grade Armor can make up for the lack of experience in the Artifact Crafting Department in the weapon crafting department. As long as it is handed over to the Artifact Crafting Department for slight improvements, it will add another independently developed Military Grade secret technique to our Ten Thousand Laws University."
As he spoke, Magnetic Extremes True Lord waved his hand, displaying Zhang Yu's various achievements once again.
In Director Gao's eyes, Zhang Yu's rapidly improving exam scores and rankings over the three years of university, his achievement of obtaining Military Certificate in his junior year, and his cultivation of the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power... made Director Gao slightly puff out his chest.
In the eyes of the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord, Zhang Yu not only had these Civil Engineering achievements, but also had completed the first three years of courses in the Artifact Crafting Department and passed the exams.
There's also the practice of various weapon-refining techniques, and plans to switch to the Artifact Crafting Department in the future.
Myriad Transformations Divine Lord nodded slightly. "Zhang Yu is indeed a talent. Old Gao, you've worked hard."
Director Gao smiled and said, "It's not hard work, it's all for the school."
The Myriad Transformations Divine Lord laughed heartily and said, "It's rare to see someone as magnanimous as you. If all the teachers in the various departments of the school were like you and willing to think more about the school, how could our Ten Thousand Methods not Kunxu?"
Upon hearing this, Director Gao felt a strange sensation in his heart.
Before he could think further, the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord continued, "Going out certainly has its advantages, but what about the risks?"
Magnetic Extremes True Lord said, "The risks are controllable?"
Just then, a voice interrupted Magnetic Extremes True Lord: "Magnetic Pole, don't talk nonsense. Who can guarantee that the risks are controllable?"
Magnetic Extremes True Lord turned his head and saw Feng Yuhan's Spirit Realm Projection appear beside him, coldly watching them.
The Myriad Transformations Divine Lord smiled faintly and said, "I've also called Xiao Feng over. It's a good opportunity for us to discuss any issues face-to-face. Once we've laid things out, there's nothing we can't discuss."
Feng Yuhan stared at Magnetic Extremes True Lord and said, "Magnetic Pole, tell me, how is this risk controllable?"
Magnetic Extremes True Lord snorted coldly and said, "With the school's resources, surely they could easily apply for a few Law Treasure and Talisman Arts to protect a student?"
"Besides, with me watching over him at all times and ready to arrive at any moment, didn't I protect Zhang Yu perfectly at Heavenly Sword this time?"
Director Gao, who was standing to the side, was about to say that he would also protect Zhang Yu, but after hearing what Magnetic Extremes True Lord said, he opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
Director Gao thought to himself, "Good, the reputation of the Magnetic Pole is greater than mine, so her words are more effective."
Feng Yuhan sneered and said, "A student? Is he an ordinary student? He possesses the laboratory's research results, which are the school's assets."
"And doesn't mitigating risks require new investment? The school's Law Treasure and Talisman Arts are being poured in just to train your Artifact Crafting Department? Magnetic Pole! Is this a school project or your own?"
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: "Don't change the subject. We're talking about whether the risks are controllable! What 'your people' and 'my people'? I think someone wants to snatch the project for themselves and turn it all into theirs."
"Feng Yuhan, don't you know how you got to this position, and how much kickback you've taken from your account?!"
"What the hell are you spouting?!" Feng Yuhan roared, "I'm trying to prevent the loss of school assets and reduce project risks, and you're maliciously slandering me like this? Is this how your Artifact Crafting Department behaves?"
The heavens and earth trembled slightly, and the voice of the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord slowly rang out. "Speak your mind. We are all teachers of the Ten Thousand Methods, so let's not attack each other."
Magnetic Extremes True Lord said calmly, "Feng Yuhan, you said it's dangerous outside and project personnel aren't allowed to go out. Does that mean the school is 100% safe?"
"Protecting project personnel is something the university should be doing. Does that mean that every time a university makes a breakthrough, everyone will be locked up in the University City or in a laboratory?"
"Participating in competitions actually has a better publicity effect?"
Feng Yuhan's gaze sharpened, and he said, "Alright, speaking of competitions, even if you, Magnetic Extremes True Lord, can protect him off-campus, what about on the competition field?"
"If Zhang Yu is beaten to his knees in the Civil Engineering League, brutally raped and humiliated in front of so many people, and then used as material for the competition, would you still go on the field to protect him? Would that be good for the project's publicity?"
"Or do you want to spend more money on Zhang Yu, and have us just help him win all the competitions every year from now on? Are you going to pour money into this bottomless pit?"
