Prototype Machine Submitted for Approval

Inside the laboratory.

A burst of inspiration struck Magnetic Extremes True Lord's mind. As her Dao Heart slightly retreated, the design blueprints in her Eye Remains were rapidly generated, and one blueprint after another was drawn as she moved.

Finally, looking at the entire design blueprint of the Yin Artifact, especially the strange patterns on the outer shell of the Dharma Skeleton, Magnetic Pole couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking to himself, "Recently, I've also designed quite a few experimental machines for the experiments on the Spirit Transformation Magic Skeleton."

"But why do I always end up with weird paint jobs and strange patterns?"

Magnetic Pole shook her head, trying hard to recall the source of these inspirations, but she couldn't figure it out no matter what, which made her feel increasingly puzzled.

Zhang Yu memorized the stocking-shaped Law Treasure he had designed, then extracted a portion of the inspiration and shared it with Ye Xingli.

After all, the requirement for replicating the other party's Dao Seed is that both parties work together to design a weapon-refining product.

Dear readers, please search "Cultivation? Ain't Got No Money For That! is this?" on Bing to read the latest chapters. Your support is the biggest motivation for the editor to update.

Zhang Yu thought to himself that if he directly sent the design drawings to the other party, wouldn't it become purely his own design? How could he possibly meet the requirement of replicating the Dao Seed?

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's description of his inspiration, Ye Xingli nodded repeatedly, her eyes lighting up. "Your idea is good. Wait a moment, I need to write it down."

With a flash of light in her eyes, Ye Xingli continued, "However, I don't have time to discuss the design you mentioned right now. I need to finish the design drawings I have on hand first."

After exchanging a few words with Ye Xingli, Zhang Yu realized that he had misjudged her thoughts.

"So, Senior Sister wasn't designing a Law Treasure Dharma Skeleton for herself... but rather a product suitable for Junior College to refine."

According to Zhang Yu Ye Xingli's fan base has surged recently, her sales performance has been lackluster. The reason is quite simple: Ten Thousand Laws University and the products she sells are too high-end, while Ye Xingli's fans are too poor to afford them.

Ye Xingli sighed, "53% of my fans are Junior College, and 35% are Lower School Student. Their income is very low, so they have a very poor willingness to buy products costing more than 1 Spirit Market."

"Although we can find some low-end brands to sell to, they lack differentiation and core competitiveness, and those companies don't offer us many discounts."

"I was thinking... could I design a product unique to my own brand, a product that's more suitable for poor people?"

"But these past few days I've been thinking about it a lot, and something just doesn't feel right."

As she spoke, Ye Xingli turned to look at Zhang Yu and smiled, "After our conversation just now, I suddenly realized that what I lack is communication, the exchange of relevant information."

"I know too little about the situation of Lower School Student and Junior College students, so how can I design products that they need?"

Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "I have quite a few connections in the Junior College Lower School sectors. I can help you gather information and complete the design."

Ye Xingli: "Thank you, Zhang Yu."

However, after saying that, Ye Xingli thought for a moment and then sent another message: [1 Spirit Coin]

Looking at the message from the other party, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "As expected, the senior sister who gives me money feels more sincere."

As for where to collect information on the poor, it was too easy for Zhang Yu, since he knew far too many poor people.

Zhang Yu posted a questionnaire in the Fellow Villagers Group, and then received various replies every day.

There is a requirement for an eye priced at 1 Spirit Coin, with performance comparable to the Heaven's Eye.

There is a hope for a mouth that has no sense of taste and can quickly digest feces and urine.

There's a hope that I won't need to use the toilet and that my butt won't produce urine!

There is also the hope that one can turn their feet into wheels and their hands Dharma Skeleton various tools.

There's also the hope of donning the skin of Demon Descendant or Demon Beast to protect the body from environmental damage.

Zhang Yu glanced at them casually and found that these requirements were basically designed to be as inhuman as possible, as if they were trying to gradually transform him from a living human being into an animal, or into a tool.

However, Zhang Yu did not rush to activate the power of the Tiangong Kaiwu, since this would cause his Dao Heart to regress.

Neither he nor the Magnetic Pole have a sufficient understanding of the lowest Lower Level of the university ecosystem. At this moment, rashly activating the power of Tiangong Kaiwu might just be a waste.

Zhang Yu planned to gather more information before launching the Tiangong Kaiwu to complete the design drawings, which he would then share with Ye Xingli.

Another week has passed in the blink of an eye.

It's already early February.

Inside Jin Jun's laboratory.

With bursts of light shooting into the sky, golden flames erupted from the Prototype Machine, and the entire Prototype Machine slowly floated up.

A burst of cheers and applause erupted in the laboratory.

Jin Jun watched this scene and nodded and smiled repeatedly.

"It's finally done."

It has been almost two months since Jin Jun last completed a Level 5 Prototype Machine.

During this period, he endured immense pressure and continuous financial losses, watching as various expenses kept exceeding budgets. Today, he finally completed the forging of the Level 11 Prototype Machine.

He knew that at this moment, he was qualified to report his Military Certificate.

But that's not enough.

"The success rate of level 11 is still too low; we need a higher level."

With a hint of satisfaction, Jin Jun announced to all his assistants in the lab that they would be taking a half-day break so they could take online classes, relax, and then return to the lab to continue working.

He knew that several of his assistants were facing Final Exam and were under a lot of academic pressure. He suggested that having them take online classes to prepare for the exams would effectively alleviate their stress.

But just two hours later, Jin Jun, who had just felt smug, immediately tensed up.

"What did you say?" Jin Jun looked at the message from one of his friends.

Upon hearing the news, he asked gravely, "Has Zhang Yu already submitted his Military Certificate for review?"

His good friend's name was Bei Wufeng, who was the second-ranked academic genius in the Artifact Crafting Department and had always been a senior brother who helped Jin Jun a lot.

Upon hearing this news from Bei Wufeng, Hui Jun was immediately incredulous.

He felt he had already increased funding and manpower, pushing speed, efficiency, and quality to their limits; it was hard to imagine that Zhang Yu was now capable of participating in the judging.

"The Prototype Machine that Zhang Yu crafted exceeded level 11? Level 12? Level 13? Or something else?"

Jin Jun shook his head. "How could that be?"

Jin Jun instinctively didn't want to believe it.

"Or is it that he wanted to participate in the Military Certificate assessment as soon as he reached level 11?"

Jin Jun didn't think Zhang Yu was a fool either.

The success rate is too low.

Caught between the two possibilities, Jin Jun couldn't help but hesitate about his next choice.

Should I participate in the judging?

After much deliberation, Jin Jun decided to first gather intelligence and investigate what was going on with Zhang Yu.

So he skillfully summoned Su Yun Ni and explained the situation to her.

Su Yun Ni was slightly startled upon hearing this and immediately sent a message to Zi Yun Zhen to inquire, but she did not receive a reply for a long time.

Jin Jun urged, "Where is she? Go find her directly."

"As long as she's willing to reveal the specifics about Zhang Yu's side, money is no problem; I can give it to her."

At a construction site somewhere in the University City.

The Magnetic Channel is being excavated and rebuilt.

Similar incidents have been happening all over the University City in the past few months, Zi Yun Zhen is already used to it.

However, looking at the construction site in front of her, she still had a helpless expression on her face, and Zhang Yu's instructions came to mind.

Zhang Yu smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Zi, the work in the lab is finished. You can spend the rest of this month working on the construction site."

"Huh?" Zi Yun Zhen said with a face full of resistance, "Construction site? Boss, I... how can I go to a place like that?"

What happened at the construction site?

Zhang Yu: "I'm your boss. I need you to help out at the construction site, so go help out."

"I've taken on quite a few projects contracted by the Artifact Crafting Department on construction sites. You used to help the Artifact Crafting Department too, right?"

"What? You don't want your name added to the Prototype Machine project anymore?"

Thinking of the Heavenly Sun Brilliant God project that the other party held, and the Prototype Machine that had a very high chance of passing the review, Zi Yun Zhen finally came to the construction site.

Ying Xin led her around, introducing the surrounding environment and her work for the day.

Just then, Fu Xinyao was not far away, saw Zi Yun Zhen and her eyes lit up with excitement. "A student from the Artifact Crafting Department? I've finally waited for this!"

As a spy left at Ten Thousand Laws University Joyous Union University by Hehuan University, Fu Xinyao has been quietly gathering information from various sources.

However, due to the complex access control system of the entire University City, coupled with the devastation of the economic crisis, Fu Xinyao's production was suspended for a long time.

After much difficulty, he managed to reconnect with the Civil Engineering Civil Engineering Department even found Su Yanyang, a Civil Engineering student who was said to be very close to Zhang Yu.

After a deep conversation, Fu Xinyao was horrified to find herself becoming increasingly lazy, and almost wanted to join the Dual Cultivation Sect.

Fortunately, she overcame this thought with her amazing willpower and threw herself back into her work.

At this moment, Fu Xinyao looked at Zi Yun Zhen and thought to herself that her idea was indeed correct. With the revival of the Civil Engineering Department and the launch of various projects, the students of the Artifact Crafting Department were gradually drawn in as well.

On the other side, not long after Zi Yun Zhen started working, she saw that Su Yun Ni had also appeared on the construction site.

"Su Yun Ni?" Zi Yun Zhen asked curiously, "Why are you here too?"

Looking at Zi Yunzhen, whose figure was thin and Dharma Skeleton body showed many signs of wear and tear, Su Yun Ni Zi Yun Zhen, "It seems you've been working a lot of overtime lately."

Zi Yun Zhen smiled slightly and said, "After all, besides Zhang Yu, I'm the only other person left in the project team. There's so much work that I can't finish it all, but with more opportunities to practice, the progress I've made has been tremendous."

Upon hearing these words, a fleeting look of envy crossed Suo Yun Ni's eyes. She didn't have many opportunities in Jin Jun's project team; there were too many experts, and she had to compete for any job to get a chance to do it.

Su Yun Ni asked again, "Isn't the lab busy today? Why did you decide to come to the construction site?"
