Seeing Zhang Yu accept the blueprints, Magnetic Extremes True Lord nodded secretly, thinking to himself, "It's not a bad thing if he can solidify his foundation, study diligently for a few years to obtain Type A Military Certificate, and then turn to cultivate weapon-refining Cultivation Method."

"If you can't keep going, you can always try participating in the Artifact Design Competition."

Magnetic Extremes True Lord was not surprised by which path Zhang Yu ultimately chose, but was curious whether Zhang Yu would change his mind and how far he could persist on this path.

"Alright," Magnetic Extremes True Lord waved his hand and said, "I've already told you everything that needed to be told!"

"The specific procedures for Transfer Departments will be handled by someone soon; just follow along!"

"Go!"

Zhang Yu nodded and then turned to leave.

But just before he left, his gaze shifted, and his eyes were fixed on the chest of the Magnetic Extremes True Lord!

Just now, Zhang Yu felt a flash before his eyes, and it seemed as if a few words floated across the chest of the Magnetic Extremes True Lord!

Sensing Zhang Yu's movements, Magnetic Extremes True Lord tilted his head and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Zhang Yu quickly shook his head and said, "It's alright!"

He thought to himself, "Is it Dao Seed?"

"Was that the Dao Seed I just saw on Magnetic Extremes True Lord?"

"It was too fleeting; I didn't even get a clear look at what it was!"

"But if it's Dao Seed, then Magnetic Extremes True Lord's Dao Seed should be very helpful for weapon refining, right?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I should visit my Master more often in the future, and try to copy his Dao Seed as soon as possible!"

Then he looked at the design drawings of the Heavenly Sun Brilliant God Prototype Machine, and felt a little excited!

At the same time, he instructed, "Fu Ji, please take a good look at the design drawings of this Heavenly Sun Brilliant God Prototype Machine, and summarize all the technologies that need to be mastered as summarized by the Magnetic Extremes True Lord!"

"Then, based on this information, compile a list of the Law Treasure that contain these technologies!"

In this way, it will save Zhang Yu a lot of time searching for information. Then he can just follow the list to practice the Law Treasure blueprints!

"Ah?"

Fu Ji said, "Me?"

Zhang Yu said, "The company is currently in a critical situation. Shouldn't you take the initiative to help the boss out of this predicament?"

As for Zhang Yu himself, he didn't rush to study the contents, but instead turned around and ran towards the construction site on the 669th floor!

Since finishing the finals of the Civil Engineering engineering competition, Zhang Yu has had very little money in his account, and he feels extremely insecure!

As soon as the competition ended, he rushed back to the university for a celebration banquet, visited the Finance Department, and met with Magnetic Extremes True Lord. It was almost one thing after another that kept him from having a chance to relax.

What a tone!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "With this little money, I could go bankrupt just by hitting a few people on the street!"

"No, I need to earn some money first to calm my nerves!"

So he went to the construction site on the top floor, familiar with the area, and started working there as an individual!

Although the Finance Department used its connections to cut off his company's projects, it still couldn't stop Zhang Yu from doing odd jobs!

However, many people on the construction site who witnessed this scene were whispering among themselves in the Spirit Realm.

"Zhang Yu is doing odd jobs too?"

"Sigh, who told him to offend the Finance Department? He clearly possesses Military Grade strength, like the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, yet he still has to come here and do the same work as us!"

"They're still too arrogant. They think they can challenge the finance department just because they got first place across schools? No matter how strong the Civil Engineering Department is, it's still just the Civil Engineering Department!"

Hearing similar rumors, Ji Yuan Shu, who was not far away, made a special trip to see Zhang Yu!

As the opponent pulled out a sky full of steel bars and cement with a single palm strike, they seemed to come alive, breaking, twisting, shaping, and being poured into each other. Ji Yuan Shu's expression was complicated as he watched this scene!

The news that Zhang Yu had rejected the Finance Department's invitation had now spread throughout the entire Civil Engineering Department, and Ji Yuan Shu was certainly not blind or deaf to it!

He watched Zhang Yu working hard on the construction site and thought to himself, "What is this guy thinking? He actually turned down an invitation from the Finance Department? Doesn't he know how big of an opportunity this is? Is it a sure way to get ahead in one step?"

Ji Yuan Shu felt that he simply couldn't understand the other person's thought process!

Zhang Yu, however, was completely oblivious to the onlookers at the construction site!

For him, it doesn't matter where he works.

With the blessing of the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, he earned a considerable amount of wages on the construction site, and the piece-rate pay in his Eye Remains was increasing every minute and every second!

Just then, several foremen ran up to Zhang Yu, looking apologetic, and said, "Zhang, I'm sorry, there's been a mistake on our end. Your job has already been assigned, and there may not be any suitable work for you on the construction site!"

Zhang Yu frowned slightly and said, "Are these temporary workers on the 669th floor also under the jurisdiction of the Finance Department?"

A foreman said helplessly, "The real estate company that invested in the University City construction has always had a background in the Finance Department, so please don't make things difficult for us!"

Zhang Yu shook his head, too lazy to say anything more to the foremen in front of him. After settling his current salary, he planned to switch to a project without Finance Department background!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "These guys from the Finance Department are really vengeful!"

Fu Ji said, "If you don't act ruthlessly, you'll prosper; if you don't take drastic measures time and time again, how can you build enough authority? For the Finance Department, it's all about having this kind of momentum and prestige to save time and effort when investing in projects and manipulating Luck!"

"But anyway, it won't be long before the Artifact Crafting Department comes to your aid, so why are you in such a hurry to make money now?"

If you're really worried about not having any money in your pocket, just take some from the company!

Zhang Yu asked, "How about taking some from the company?"

Fu Ji said, "Let Zhao Tianxing and Mo Tianyi return their salaries. You can use their salaries to cover the shortfall first, and then pay them later!"

Zhang Yu shook his head. "Junior College and those Soul Cultivator are constantly in dire need of money! Forget it!"

Moreover, with the company's projects running smoothly, their income has already plummeted!

Just then, Zhang Yu received a message from Ying Xin's grandfather!

Mr. Zhang, I've discussed this with the company's employees!

Ying Xin's grandfather: Everyone knows that the company is facing difficulties right now, so everyone will find some odd jobs to do first!

Ying Xin's grandfather: Mr. Zhang, you don't need to keep paying the salaries that haven't been paid yet. We can talk about it when the company is more stable!

Fu Ji curled her lip and said, "Tch, it's already a huge favor that we pay them on time. If we delay their paychecks, they'll just think you're trying to join the Artifact Crafting Department and want to latch onto you."

Just then, a familiar figure appeared in front of Zhang Yu!

Li Xiao, his face covered in ashes, asked, "Senior Brother, are you alright?"

Zhang Yu smiled faintly and said, "What could possibly be wrong with me?"

On the other side, Ying Xin, Gongshu Jin, Yu Xinghan, Shi Yunxiang also came over at some point, all expressing concern about Zhang Yu's situation being suppressed by the Finance Department!

At the same time, information kept appearing in Zhang Yu's Eye Remains!

Feng Jiangting: Are you alright? The Civil Engineering Department can't stop the Finance Department. Why don't we ask Senior Sister Ye Xingmingli for help? She can get help from Magnetic Extremes True Lord!

As they were talking, Zhang Yu had just Eye Remains through the construction site gate when he received another message!

His inter-school competition championship record has been successfully registered within Ten Thousand Laws University, causing his Comprehensive Score to skyrocket!

In the eyes of the many security guards, workers and students around him, Zhang Yu's momentum suddenly increased, and his ranking rose again and again, reaching 20th, 15th, 10th, and finally soaring to 8th place!

People around stared in shock at the astonishing scene; some started taking pictures, while others gasped in amazement!

In addition to the increase in his Comprehensive Score, the 20 Spirit Coin awarded by the school were also directly credited to Zhang Yu's account, slightly easing his immediate financial crisis!

Meanwhile, with the competition results finalized and his Comprehensive Score and ranking skyrocketing, another message reached Zhang Yu!

It's the Lian Huo True Person from the weapon-refining world!

Lian Huo True Person: Hello, Zhang Yu, I am your future class teacher in the Artifact Crafting Department!

Lian Huo True Person: The director asked me to help you with your Transfer Departments procedures. There are some documents I need you to provide!

It was during this process that Zhang Yu learned that transferring from the Civil Engineering Department to the Artifact Crafting Department would result in a discount on the Comprehensive Score!

In particular, the Comprehensive Score obtained from various competition rankings all had to be adjusted by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. While it was said to be influenced by various industry factors, Zhang Yu saw it as blatant professional discrimination, which ultimately reduced his Comprehensive Score by more than half!

Lian Huo True Person: Are you planning to change dorms? I can help you arrange it.

Zhang Yu: Not for now.

Although Zhang Yu didn't want to change dormitories, considering that his current dormitory was provided by Director Gao of the Civil Engineering Department, he had to ask him about it first!

At the same time, Zhang Yu, who was communicating with Lian Huo True Person, suddenly froze on the spot in everyone's eyes!

Li Xiao asked, "What's going on, Senior Brother?"

Ying Xin chimed in, "It must be because the Comprehensive Score has been finalized that his ranking has skyrocketed. He's probably talking to the department head right now!"

Gongshu Jin exclaimed, "Sigh, it's probably related to the Finance Department!"

"The Finance Department has a very deep reach, and its influence is evident in every aspect of life."

The thought that Zhang Yu was one of the top students in the Civil Engineering Department, yet the professors couldn't protect Zhang Yu in front of the Finance Department, made the Civil Engineering students present feel a sense of unease!

But just then, Zhang Yu's ranking changed again!

Li Xiao thought to himself, "Can it grow any larger?"

But this time, instead of rising, it fell!

Although the object fell, the surrounding crowd was even more shocked and horrified, feeling that Zhang Yu's aura was surging, soaring, and exploding.

Feather Qi power rises Yuan Tou Chang Wang rises Tu Shui

It's simply because his ranking has changed from the Civil Engineering Department department to the Artifact Crafting Department department!

From a gloomy 8th place in the Civil Engineering Department, to a dazzling 48th place in the Artifact Crafting Department!

He's a weapon refiner.

Li Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Brother, you, you, you transferred to the Artifact Crafting Department?"

Zhang Yu smiled faintly and said, "I originally wanted to spend some time developing my skills in the Civil Engineering Department, but instead I was met with insults and bullying from the Finance Department!"

"So I've decided to stop pretending!"

I'm coming clean!

"I'm a student in the Artifact Crafting Department!"
