You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 286 - 242 Zhang Yu’s Outdated Thinking (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2
Chapter 286: Chapter 242 Zhang Yu’s Outdated Thinking (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2
Watching this scene, Zhang Yu sighed inwardly... The disparity in wealth made him fall behind in Foundation Establishment, even though he was more outstanding than the others during the Qi Refinement stage.
If he wants to achieve Foundation Establishment before graduating high school, he will ultimately need support from President Wang by his side.
President Wang ignored the two engaged in Foundation Establishment, instead looking at Zhang Yu and smiling: "I’ve checked it, no problem, quickly change into it and let me see."
So under the delighted gaze from the hanger, and the envious looks from Sheng Jie and Tan Shishan, Zhang Yu silently changed into the practice skin sent by Wang Yin.
President Wang laughed heartily, saying, "I knew I made the right choice, this skin really suits you."
"Wear this for meetings in the future, did you hear that?"
In Zhang Yu’s mind, the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique’s imagined remnant bull inexplicably came to a complete stop.
Looking at the remnant bull that wouldn’t move in his mind no matter how the mental method operated, Zhang Yu said inwardly: "What a trash mental method."
"Does it really require me to endure hardship, keep pressuring myself, and continuously charge into crises for you to work effectively?"
"I want to buy a Heavenly Spirit Root, I want to achieve Foundation Establishment."
"I don’t want to be poor in Kunxu for life! I don’t want to lose to those rich people because of lacking money!"
"Moreover, a practice skin, it’s just a kind of equipment in Kunxu, not a big deal..."
...
In the blink of an eye, another month passed.
Time moved to May.
Inside Songyang High School.
Zhang Yu looked at the 29 million in his bank account, and thought quietly: "Almost there, soon I can buy a Heavenly Spirit Root for Foundation Establishment."
Suddenly, he heard fighting sounds nearby.
Zhang Yu frowned and looked over, finding Zhou Chechen being besieged by over ten classmates.
"Do you think you’re still the student council president? The Zhou Family is not what it was, they can’t even speak in the board of directors..."
"Zhou Chechen, you’re not richer than us now."
"Hand over your workbook!"
"Hehehe, today I want to taste what kind of medicine the student council president uses!"
Zhang Yu initially didn’t want to interfere, but listening to the increasingly absurd noise, he finally couldn’t help but say: "Get lost, don’t mess around near me."
Upon hearing Zhang Yu’s low shout, the students surrounding Zhou Chechen quickly scattered in fear.
Zhou Chechen climbed up silently, looked towards Zhang Yu’s direction, nodded slightly, and softly said thank you, then turned and left.
But Zhang Yu knew that the Zhou Family didn’t get the opportunity to cooperate with the Oasis Group due to lacking competitiveness, and now they are declining day by day.
Zhou Chechen’s upcoming days in Songyang High School are likely going to be harder and harder.
"But...what’s that to me."
Zhang Yu went to the cafeteria for lunch, only to see the synthetic food in the cafeteria had increased in price again, even the food Qian Shen ate seemed to have lessened.
That night, he went to the Oasis Building for a meeting again.
Looking at the next service planned for promotion in the meeting, Zhang Yu couldn’t help biting his teeth, thinking to himself: "Mortgaging flesh?"
With the successful promotion of food loans, the Oasis Group decided to launch flesh mortgaging services, allowing users to use their own flesh to pay off debts.
Although he knew this project existed in Kunxu long ago, seeing the company people in the meeting discussing how to collect flesh, evaluate it, monetize flesh, and store it, made Zhang Yu feel like he was watching each living person being skinned and boned, sent to the dining table...
...
Time reached June in the feeling of Zhang Yu’s weary ease.
As another college entrance examination ended, there were three months left, and Zhang Yu would enter the third year of high school.
At this moment, Zhang Yu’s account already had over 33 million.
But he still came to the hub of the dark tutoring world, planning to teach, earn some extra money.
At least the atmosphere here made him feel more relaxed than at the Oasis Group.
However, as the Oasis Group allies with various companies, similar companies in the education sector like Immortal Rhythm Group and Deep Sea Group have increased their crackdown on piracy, even showing intentions to abandon original gang alliances, like discarding an old chamber pot.
On the other hand, as company employees’ wages and benefits continually declined, attendance in tutorial classes gradually decreased.
Especially some older learners, as their income fell, directly exhausted their lifespan, reaching life’s end.
Now every time Zhang Yu entered a classroom, he could see new older learners had disappeared, causing his income in the dark tutoring world to shrink accordingly.
...
July.
The weather in Songyang City gradually became hotter.
Within this progressively warming weather, Zhang Yu’s savings finally reached over 38 million.
It was around this time that some scandals concerning the Oasis Group were exposed online.
At that day’s company meeting, while eating with President Wang, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but ask: "President Wang, about the issue of making food with mortgaged flesh..."
Wang Yin casually replied: "Oh, that thing."
He glanced at the curious eyes of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, smiled, and said: "All those are rubbish reports from news people. How could the company add human flesh into synthetic food?"
Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking inwardly: "Although Kunxu is crazy, it hasn’t gone that crazy..."
Wang Yin said: "Synthetic food is so cheap, adding human flesh wouldn’t it be a loss?"
"Only when selling upwards do we use user-mortgaged flesh."
Zhang Yu was slightly stunned: "Selling...upwards?"
Wang Yin smiled slightly, looking at the two and said: "You don’t possibly think we’re doing all this just to earn a layer of that money? What use is that layer of money? It can hardly be spent upstairs."
He carefully taught the two: "When you enter Nether University, you will understand, upstairs authorizes Immortal Path technology, exports Immortal Path products to exchange for various resources below."
"The human body is a big treasure trove, with various blood, flesh, skin, bones, marrow, brain, and even resentment, souls are with myriad uses."
Wang Yin: "If undergone body modification surgery, diligently self-cultivated, the value is even greater."
Zhang Yu’s expression was slightly gloomy: "So they pay for their modification, feed themselves medicine, cultivate themselves, then make themselves more valuable, easier to sell?"
Wang Yin said: "They can improve grades in the process, have more chances to get into a good university, even if they fail and have to sell flesh or soul, they can cash in at a higher price, which is beneficial to them."
"Furthermore, our Nether University, and Sky Demon University, Sky Devil University, White Bone University, all have very high demands in this regard."
"If materials are insufficient, how to compete with the other ten tiers?"
"The higher you go, the greater the cost of manpower, many places even forbid mortal rearing, and there are human protection acts, resentment emission management..."
Wang Yin sighed: "In this sense, the higher layers are far more costly than the first layer, we are compelled to come here."
Zhang Yu gritted his teeth and said: "So...we are selling the blood and flesh of the first layer people to upper-layer people?"
Next to him, Bai Zhenzhen also appeared slightly dazed, seemingly not expecting such insider information about the Oasis Group.
Wang Yin looked at the two and, perceiving their resistance, he said: "You come from mortal families on the first layer, so your mindset is quite backward, I can understand that."
"But remember, the blood and flesh on you are all sold by themselves, by the people from the first layer."
"They want to sell, and we collect; I’m giving a fair price, this is a mutually agreed transaction."
"Even if they don’t sell to me, they will sell to others."
"This is quite normal on the Immortal Path."
Wang Yin advised earnestly: "Furthermore, in a year, you will go to the second layer for university, eventually the first layer has nothing to do with you, less think about things here, focus on preparing for Foundation Establishment."
"You both have talent, maybe you can reach the fifth, even the sixth layer, don’t waste the opportunity."
Wang Yin seemed a bit discontented with their reactions, as if he saw pet dogs being protective over their food, he shook his head and said, "Who pays you, shouldn’t you listen to them?"
"If you still can’t understand, then take a few days off, and think it through properly."
"You have great talent, maybe you can reach the fifth layer, even the sixth layer, don’t waste this opportunity."
Zhang Yu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when he thought of himself and Bai Zhenzhen’s own situations, he realized he couldn’t exert a bit of strength from his well-trained body at this moment.
