After sending Zhang Yu to online classes, Gui Yuanzi sent a message to Jin Jun.

Gui Yuanzi: It's all arranged. He's obediently going to his online classes now.

Jin Jun: Thank you very much, senior brother. I will definitely repay you handsomely.

Gui Yuanzi nodded slightly upon seeing Jin Jun's reply and replied, "Only Spirit Coin are required."

As an old Golden Core, Gui Yuanzi's skill level is increasingly lagging behind that of the new generation of Golden Core True Person.

He had considered striving, working hard, and putting in the effort, but he discovered that the newly promoted Golden Core in the school over the years were all more intelligent, more talented, more qualified, and had better backgrounds than him!

He was falling further and further behind, and now he could only teach courses like the History of Artifact Crafting Technology. His projects and experiments were also struggling to keep up!

Gui Yuanzi figured it was only a matter of time before he was squeezed out of the Artifact Crafting Department and transferred to some trashy major like Security Department or Transport Department!

But he has come to terms with it now. He no longer gets involved with the other Golden Core cultivators and focuses all his energy on making money. He's willing to do anything that isn't illegal as long as he's paid!

Making as much money as possible and living a few more years is his only wish right now!

As for a student like Zhang Yu, who is so young, making him legally and compliantly make up for the missed lessons is naturally not in his view.

It's no big deal!

Seeing that the other person was still obediently attending class, Gui Yuanzi thought to himself, "Is this kid stupid? He's really attending class? Doesn't he know to slip me some money?"

"Did I not hint enough?"

Just as Gui Yuanzi was wondering whether he should give Zhang Yu another hint, he discovered that Zhang Yu had left the Spirit Realm Classroom and exited the online class he had initiated!

"Um?"

Gui Yuanzi was slightly taken aback, then flew into a rage. "This kid skipped class for me?"

In Gui Yuanzi's view, skipping class in front of everyone was a blatant slap in the face!

He immediately messaged Zhang Yu: Where are you?

Gui Yuanzi: Get back here to class right now!

Gui Yuanzi: Otherwise, you can forget about passing this course.

Just then, Gui Yuanzi's Eye Remains flashed, and he saw a message from Feng Zihan of the Research Department!

As the director of the Research Department, Feng Yuhan naturally had access to the various project funds and loans that Gui Yuanzi applied for. To Gui Yuanzi, he was an important superior, a leader who absolutely could not be offended!

Upon seeing the message from the other party, Gui Yuanzi felt a chill run down his spine!

"We'll talk about Zhang Yu later!"

He immediately left the Spirit Realm and went to the Research Department's office!

Upon entering the office, one could see Feng Yuhan's Eye Remains gleaming, as if he were doing something!

The image of Basic Intelligent Artifact Spirit assistant appeared before Gui Yuanzi's eyes. The spirit said to him, "Teacher Gui Yuanzi, Director Feng is currently working. Please wait a moment!"

Gui Yuanzi nodded and sat down to wait.

He waited for a full two hours before Feng Yuhan finally glanced at him and handed him a document!

The funding application is incorrect. Take it back and rewrite it. Come and hand it to me tonight!

Gui Yuanzi was slightly taken aback, then became nervous!

Although he doesn't have many projects or experiments under his supervision, and the funding is limited, at least half of every grant he receives goes into his own pocket, making it a significant source of income for him!

Upon hearing that the application materials needed to be rewritten, Gui Yuanzi quickly asked, "Director Feng, please tell me what the problem is, and I'll revise it immediately!"

Feng Yuhan frowned impatiently and said, "They're all problems, rewrite them all!"

"Alright, you can leave now. Don't waste your time here!"

"If I don't receive your materials by 10 PM tonight, I'll assume you're not giving me any funding!"

After returning, Gui Yuanzi thought to himself that the material was indeed written too perfunctorily, which was why it was rejected by the Research Department!

So he spent a lot of effort rewriting the entire document, and when he felt it was flawless, he sent it to Feng Yuhan!

Feng Yuhan glanced at the file sent by the other party, and said without looking up, "Still no good!"

Gui Yuanzi was slightly taken aback. "Huh?"

Feng Yuhan said coldly, "Gui Yuanzi, do you still want to apply for funding or not?"

"Take it back and rewrite it. Write it carefully and think hard about where the problem lies!"

Completely bewildered, Gui Yuanzi returned home and went to great Fourth Office to find reference materials and seek guidance on his writing!

The next day, he nervously delivered the materials again, but as soon as Gui Yuanzi sent the documents out, Feng Yuhan snorted coldly, and a flash of lightning appeared in his eyes, exploding right in front of Gui Yuanzi!

"Gui Yuanzi, you're a veteran in the Artifact Crafting Department. It's one thing if your skills aren't up to par, but now you can't even write an application?"

Gui Yuanzi said helplessly, "Director Feng, just tell me directly what the problem is!"

Feng Yuhan coldly said, "Do I really need to teach you how to write such a trivial thing? What a waste of your life! You've completely disgraced the Golden Core stage!"

Gui Yuanzi never expected that Feng Yuhan would start by giving him a thorough dressing-down!

Looking at the director who was even younger than himself, Gui Yuanzi felt a surge of magical power in his chest. Along with this surge, the light and shadow in his Eye Remains flickered and jumped!

But considering that his funds were still in the other party's hands, Gui Yuanzi could only suppress his displeasure and continue to listen to the other party's reprimand!

You old Golden Core cultivators, you relied on the good old days to get to the Golden Core stage, but you don't know how to be grateful to the school and the sect. You just drift through the years, and I think you're getting more and more senile!

After another round of criticism, Feng Yuhan pointed to the table beside him.

He said, "Write it here, and show it to me immediately when you're done. Ask me any questions you have!"

Gui Yuanzi gritted his teeth and could only sit in a corner of the office like a student, silently writing materials!

A moment later, another person entered the office—it was Zhang Yu!

"Zhang Yu is here?"

Feng Yuhan chuckled and said, "I've received your lab loan application and it's already been approved. You don't need to come here in person!"

Zhang Yu said, "Thank you very much, Teacher Feng!"

Feng Yuhan nodded and said, "Don't forget to participate in the projects with Magnetic Extremes True Lord and True Lord Xian Yin! Let me know if you have any problems, and I'll do my best to help you!"

Zhang Yu smiled slightly. He hadn't expected that Feng Yuhan would immediately take action after he mentioned yesterday that Gui Yuanzi's tutoring might affect his participation in the Nascent Spirit Transformation Magic Skeleton experiment!

In Feng Yuhan's view, he had already compressed Zhang Yu's time to participate in the experiment to the limit. If it was delayed any further, the Nascent Soul True Lord from the Artifact Crafting Department would cause trouble for him again!

As for the History of Artifact Crafting Technology... is that even a course? He glanced at Gui Yuanzi, thinking that next year he should propose changing this course to self-study and kicking Gui Yuanzi to the Transport Department to deliver packages, so that he wouldn't stay in the Artifact Crafting Department to mooch off funding!

As for taking the opportunity to befriend Zhang Yu, Feng Yuhan thought it was an even better choice!

As a follower of an Evil God, I have gradually come to realize that befriending the forces of the Orthodox God is the Righteous Path for the Evil God and something that believers should do!

"Zhang Yu has connections with Orthodox God. Having a good relationship with him will also help me in my future work as a follower of Evil God gods!"

Watching the two exchange pleasantries, Gui Yuanzi felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his mind, thinking, "Zhang Yu and Director Feng are so close?"

"Jin Jun, you've ruined my life!"

He cursed Jin Jun in his heart, Gui Yuanzi looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Yu..."

"What did you say?" Feng Yuhan coldly glanced at the other person. "Just focus on writing your report!"

Seeing Gui Yuanzi's obedient demeanor, Zhang Yu had to admit to himself, "Teachers who work in administration do have their merits. Some projects and some teachers in this University City really need to be properly managed; they deserve a strong crackdown!"

Not long after Zhang Yu left Feng Yuhan's office, he received a message from Gui Yuanzi!

Gui Yuanzi: Zhang Yu, the teacher acted impulsively a few days ago.

Gui Yuanzi: From now on, you can come to the teacher's class whenever you want, and you can ask for leave whenever you want. The teacher will give you full marks in all of them.

Zhang Yu: Teacher, you can just approve the leave according to the normal procedure.

Zhang Yu: As for the score, just give me whatever score I get. Please don't give me any special treatment.

Having resolved the problem with Gui Yuanzi, Zhang Yu once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to the manufacture of the Prototype Machine!

Inside Jin Jun's laboratory!

Under the guidance of a highly paid teacher, Jin Jun felt that his refining process had become much more efficient. Any oversights or mistakes at each step were immediately pointed out, making him feel that he was improving every minute and every second.

With the final adjustments completed, the Prototype Machine in front of us was finally successfully crafted, and it reached a full level 5 upon completion!

Jin Jun nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the test data. He opened the friends interface in his Eye Remains and found that the money he sent to Gui Yuanzi had been accepted by the other party!

He then sent a message to the other party, but received a notification: You are not yet friends with this party.

Jin Jun was slightly taken aback. "He deleted me as a friend?"

Jin Jun frowned, unsure of what was going on, but looking at the Level 5 Prototype Machine beside him, a smile returned to his face!

Based on what he learned from Su Yun Ni over the past few days, after Zhang Yu completed the forging of the Level 1 Prototype Machine, he focused solely on speed and the accumulation of materials, making the entire project feel chaotic!

In Jin Jun's view, this exposed Zhang Yu's true level, and his unstable mentality caused the entire laboratory to become increasingly chaotic!

"Civil Engineering engineer is just Civil Engineering engineer; when it comes to real weapon-forging skills, he's no match!"

In the following month, under the guidance of a highly paid teacher, Jin Jun made rapid progress, the improvement of the Prototype Machine became smoother and smoother, and his condition improved. The entire laboratory was busy but orderly, which made him more and more confident in obtaining his Military Certificate!

Mid January!

Inside Ye Xingli's laboratory!

As the final barrier was infused, Zhang Yu watched the Prototype Machine before him shine brightly, and a slight joy welled up in his heart!

He finally upgraded this Prototype Machine of the Heavenly Sun Brilliant God to level 11!
