You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 278 - 236 Zhang Yu’s Foundation Establishment Domain
Chapter 278: Chapter 236 Zhang Yu’s Foundation Establishment Domain
With the recent actions of the Oasis Group, not only did it cause a great uproar at Songyang High School, but as the news continued to spread outward, it also stirred up a commotion throughout Songyang City.
As the representative of the Oasis Group, Chi He returned to the company and immediately used the company’s dedicated network to overcome the network barriers between the first and second levels and contacted the Oasis Group on the second level.
Soon, President Wang’s voice came from the other end.
Chi He respectfully said, "President Wang, I have done as you instructed. However, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen have not returned yet. I just announced the matter, but the money has not been transferred into their hands."
President Wang said calmly, "No worries, it will be the same when they return."
Chi He cautiously said, "But... what if they ultimately don’t want to cooperate with us?"
He always felt that starting to throw money and promote before reaching an agreement with the other party was somewhat reckless.
Upon hearing this, President Wang laughed heartily and said, "I give them money, opportunities, and a future. Why wouldn’t they want to cooperate with me?"
"I believe there’s no one in this world money can’t buy, it’s just a matter of more or less money."
"And as for the amount on the first level, I can certainly afford that."
"By the way, I’ll come down in a few days, there’s nothing interesting about Xiandu, but the three reserves in Songyang are quite intriguing. I’m thinking of coming over to take a look first."
To President Wang, places like Xiandu 1.5 Layer and Songyang both appeared to be the same kind of first-level city, without any distinction.
Instead, it was the natural scenery and resources of the reserves that seemed more rare and valuable in his eyes.
Chi He quickly replied, "I’ll arrange it immediately."
...
Meanwhile, the news of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen continued to spread in Songyang City.
Atop the Red Tower Building.
Chairman Long looked at the test report in his hand with disdain and said, "Junk, all of it is junk."
"Stop collecting Zhang Yu’s seeds in the future, dispose of all surviving ones, it is simply a waste of time, labor, and experimental equipment."
Thinking about the times the other party would occasionally come here to take advantage of the situation in the past few months, but only contributed a bunch of useless protein waste, Chairman Long felt disheartened.
But shortly after, as Chairman Long saw a message on his phone, he abruptly stood up and asked his secretary, "Where are Zhang Yu’s seeds?"
"Thrown away? How could they be thrown away?"
"Go retrieve them immediately!"
"At once! All of them! Bring them all back to me, not a single drop should be leaked! Even if you have to lick them up, I want them retrieved!"
...
Inside White Dragon High School.
Upon hearing the news that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen obtained their Foundation Establishment certificates, Yu Xinghan looked bewildered.
Damn... this feels even worse than being failed in the Foundation Establishment exam himself.
Then hearing that the Oasis Group was going to donate ten million to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen made his heart ache.
"Come on..."
"Zhang Yu, oh Zhang Yu, it’s not that I don’t want my friend to advance, I just don’t want to see you lose yourself and become a corporate tool just because of a so-called Foundation Establishment certificate."
"Wasn’t the true you the person who went with me to Red Tower to joyfully play shooting games and earned money through part-time work using his own hands? How did you quietly manage to pass the Foundation Establishment certificate and even secure such a large donation?"
But what made Yu Xinghan the most uncomfortable was thinking about the consequences after Li Xuelian and Master Xinghuo learned of this news.
"Damn... how am I going to hold my head up in front of Senior Sister in the future?"
"Not to mention Senior Sister, I feel like I can’t even hold my head up in front of a puppet right now."
At the same time, Li Xuelian was already aware of the events happening over at Songyang High School.
She sighed, momentarily recalling that day a year ago, the scene in her room at the Central Building when she rejected Zhang Yu.
"Ah, one wrong step."
Li Xuelian could imagine that with her father’s quick temper, he would surely be anxious, distract himself from his work, and might even get docked pay or face penalties.
"Better not tell Dad for now, lest his income decreases and affects the efficiency of transferring money."
...
Just as Songyang City was in an uproar due to the matters regarding Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.
In an unknown small town.
In a temporarily rented exercise field.
Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were digesting the gains from the recent Foundation Establishment exam here.
In these past few days, Bai Zhenzhen had not rushed into practicing the newly acquired cultivation technique, but instead revisited the feeling of that strike she performed in the exam room while it was still fresh.
That singular strike, transcending the sound barrier through multiple accelerations, was the pinnacle strike of her life since birth. If it weren’t for the limitless medical insurance promised by the True God, she wouldn’t have dared to execute such a blow.
And after that battle, Bai Zhenzhen felt she had gained a new understanding of her own martial path.
On the other side, Zhang Yu naturally was utilizing the time to practice the newly acquired martial arts, striving to achieve the final layer effect of the Martial Saint Embryo as soon as possible.
The martial arts he selected from the Foundation Establishment exam’s cultivation technique reward was called the Earth Evil Returning Yuan Technique, a technique that, as long as one’s feet touch the ground, can absorb the Earth Evil Yuan Magnetic Force from the earth through the foot chakras to quickly restore energy.
In these few days, he had already cultivated the Earth Evil Returning Yuan Technique to Level 10.
At this moment, Zhang Yu’s feet were planted on the ground. Even without intentionally channeling his powers, he could feel the continuous influx of Earth Evil primordial magnetic force into his body, constantly replenishing his stamina, making him feel unstoppable, and capable of practicing for a whole day and night without any issues.
"At least within the Qi Refining Realm, this cultivation technique is more than sufficient to elongate my stamina to an abnormal extent."
Next, Zhang Yu focused on cultivating the tenth cultivation technique needed to complete the Martial Arts Sacred Fetus, which he had just spent 1.33 million to purchase today, called the Great Mighty Heavenly Armor.
"As long as I master this cultivation technique, my body will naturally possess a force of countershock; the harder my opponent hits me, the stronger the shock they will receive."
Zhang Yu thought to himself as he reflected on the series of cultivation techniques he had practiced: "Magic resistance, fire resistance, ice resistance, physical resistance, regeneration, self-healing, medicine consumption, detoxification... and now adding stamina recovery and damage reflection."
"The more I practice, the tougher I become, turning more and more into a tank."
"Could it be that the concept of Martial Arts Sacred Fetus is to train a person to become exceedingly resilient and capable of enduring hits?"
Apart from these two martial arts, Zhang Yu also explored his digital Foundation Establishment certificate and, indeed, discovered some special services within it.
Heading display, font, color, size... Everything could be modified, as long as you were willing to pay.
There was even an effect called the Foundation Establishment Domain.
After activating it, anyone within a hundred meters range of him would receive a text message; the basic content being: "The Foundation Establishment certificate holder Zhang Yu has entered within a hundred meters of your location, please be courteous and avoid collision."
Zhang Yu thought to himself: "Who the hell would use such a feature? It’s way too pretentious and sure to draw enmity!"
Thinking of this, he touched his arm, where a piece of red cloth was tied, under which was his Foundation Establishment certificate.
As long as Zhang Yu pulled the red cloth on his arm, the Foundation Establishment certificate would be revealed.
Zhang Yu thought inwardly: "This way is cost-effective, discreet, and convenient."
He was already imagining the scene of unveiling the red cloth and revealing his Foundation Establishment certificate, leaving heroes across the world in awe.
...
"Golden Core Great Cultivator, Master Xinghuo has entered within one kilometer of your location. In the past month, he has accidentally killed four people and has settled all fines and compensations. Please be cautious and avoid collision."
Within the office building, as the phones of many employees vibrated, it felt like an invisible plague was spreading within, causing the company employees to turn pale and quicken their return to their desks, afraid to collide with Master Xinghuo.
Moments later, under the reverent gazes of the crowd, a "man" with a head full of flames, a body like glass, and eyes blazing like twin suns slowly floated past them.
This person, with more than half of his body replaced by magic remains, was the company’s newly hired expert, Master Xinghuo.
Sensing the fear and reverence from those around, Master Xinghuo noted how useful the Golden Core Domain attached to the Golden Core certificate was.
Ever since paying to activate this domain, he hadn’t encountered anyone displeasing that would provoke him to anger and murder.
Master Xinghuo secretly sighed, thinking if only this Golden Core Domain worked just as well in the upper levels, he wouldn’t have ended up down on the first floor.
Meanwhile, in Master Xinghuo’s eyes, messages kept flashing by, finally stopping at the information about Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen obtaining their Foundation Establishment certificates.
"Zhang Yu?"
"Isn’t that my disciple?"
As for Yu Xinghan? Sorry, a person who spent millions but couldn’t obtain a Foundation Establishment certificate, Master Xinghuo was truly unfamiliar.
"I haven’t seen him in a long time, hmm... and I haven’t met another disciple, Bai Zhenzhen, yet."
Master Xinghuo was eager to immediately see his two cherished disciples, but he still had overtime to finish this week and hadn’t got the habit of taking leave despite reaching Golden Core cultivation.
"I’ll have to wait until the overtime is over this week to see them."
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the small town.
While Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were each cultivating and enhancing their skills.
There was a knock on the door, and a voice came from outside: "Excuse me, may I bother you for a moment? Is this Mr. Zhang Yu and Miss Bai Zhenzhen?"
Upon hearing this, both Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen turned pale with surprise. This was a place more than 1000 kilometers from Songyang City, and yet someone recognized them.
With the two on guard, the door slowly opened, and a travel-worn, frugally dressed middle-aged man walked in.
The middle-aged man introduced himself: "I am Tao Lin from Shengshi Entertainment. I apologize for suddenly finding you like this, but I truly have something very important to discuss with both of you."
"You haven’t decided which university to apply to, have you?"
"I know a university with great potential. They are confident in cultivating you both into Golden Core True Men, hoping you might consider it."
Tao Lin’s company, Shengshi Entertainment, was under the Joyful Union Sect, one of the Ten Great Sects.
The university he spoke of was known as Qinghe Art Vocational College.
In order to recruit Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen before anyone else, not only did they send people to Songyang City, but they also utilized company channels to locate Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen through leaked information from the True God.
Such information leaks, especially involving location data, was, of course, illegal and noncompliant.
Generally, for mere recruitment purposes, no respectable companies would resort to such means, as it would tarnish both the company’s and the university’s image and provide competitors with leverage for attacks.
However, under the strong request of Qinghe Art Vocational College on the second floor, Shengshi Entertainment had no choice but to comply.
Yet Tao Lin considered that compared to his upcoming task, this information leak paled in comparison.
After all, trying to trick two high school geniuses holding Foundation Establishment certificates, the two strongest high schoolers on the first floor, into a vocational college, while not illegal, was even more reprehensible.
Yes, trickery.
Although it was termed as recruitment, Tao Lin saw it as nothing but a deception.
Otherwise, which top high school student would ignore the top ten choices and opt for something like Qinghe Art Vocational College?
