You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 311 - 262: Oasis Seizure, Reward Choice

Looking at the messages on the phone, Zhang Yu’s lips curled up unconsciously, feeling as if his mood had suddenly improved.

Standing nearby, Bai Zhenzhen asked, "What are you looking at? Why is your smile so sleazy?"

Zhang Yu replied casually, "Just admiring this beautiful world."

But in the next moment, Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows, as he saw a bunch of claim messages.

"Damn it..." Zhang Yu grumbled, "Yesterday’s battlefield damage fees are actually being counted against me?"

"Weren’t a few walls just smashed, a couple of buildings damaged? They want me to pay ten million? Are they crazy?"

On the other side, Bai Zhenzhen was eating breakfast and replied, "It’s the company behind the abandoned factory from yesterday. Anyway, since we acted in the Patrol Team’s capacity, any compensation should be taken by the True God."

"Yu Zi, hurry up and eat your breakfast, then contact Deng Youshen and discuss this matter with her."

"Also, she just called. It’s about handling the Oasis Group and some distribution of things, asking for our opinions."

"Is this the post-battle loot distribution?" Zhang Yu’s eyes shone upon hearing this, remembering what Master Xinghuo said yesterday, and he sent a message to the other party.

Master Xinghuo replied, "You guys go to the Oasis Group and discuss with her first, listen to what she has to say, but don’t promise anything before I arrive."

So after Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen finished breakfast, they went out.

Upon leaving the apartment, Zhang Yu was surprised to find a large group of people standing outside the building’s door.

And the cleanliness and neatness of the apartment surroundings formed a sharp contrast with the nearby street, where burning cars, towering smoke, and piles of trash debris were visible.

Zhang Yu recalled that he seemed to have forgotten to close the Foundation Establishment Domain.

Due to the Foundation Establishment Domain, his apartment had become a safe zone overnight, serving as a refuge for many people on the surrounding streets.

These people clearly also watched the live broadcast or videos and recognized the identities of the two.

Amidst their awe-stricken gazes, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen’s figures flashed, accompanied by a series of breaking sounds and electric flashes, disappearing into the street.

...

When Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen arrived at the Oasis Building, they discovered that the entire building was already under Divine Department control, with Patrol Team personnel patrolling everywhere.

They made their way to the top floor, entered the office, and saw Deng Bingding sitting there.

"You guys made it?"

As soon as they saw Deng Bingding, a ripple of Divine Power flashed, and a figure separated, walking up to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

She smiled at them, "You’ve both done a great job in stopping the Oasis Group."

"I’ve already learned about the claim issues. I’ll send someone to contact them, so you don’t need to worry."

"Regarding your conflict with the Oasis Group, aside from unfreezing the funds in the account, the Oasis Group originally agreed to pay each of you a fee of four million per month for the next nine months, until the college entrance exams."

"That’s a total of... each of you will receive a compensation of thirty-six million. I’ll help you get it back; it should be deposited into your accounts within a week at most."

Upon hearing Deng Bingding’s words, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen both felt invigorated and delighted.

Seeing their cheerful expressions, Deng Bingding secretly thought, "After this mission ends, I should be able to get promoted."

"I’ve been assigned a position in a region governed by Wanfa University."

"These two will probably join Wanfa University eventually; I might run into them again."

"These two, especially Zhang Yu, definitely have a strong background. It’s just right, before leaving, to use some resources to improve our relationship."

With just a glance at Zhang Yu’s rise, Deng Bingding could feel there was undoubtedly high-level support behind him.

First, there was Zhang Pianpian’s assistance, followed by his astounding progress from competitions to Foundation Establishment.

And before the battle with Wang Yin, he received the Jiao Long Spirit Core and Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force from above.

Especially the Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force, which is both a former military-level technique and aligned with Zhang Yu’s study of Limitless Cloud Hand, not to mention Master Xinghuo’s guidance...

"Everything is too coincidental; it’s like not even making an effort to pretend."

"But that’s fine too. Getting along well with them should be beneficial for my future post-promotion work."

With lightning-fast thoughts and considerations, Deng Bingding looked at the delighted faces of the two and spoke again, "The rewards for the previous action have already been distributed."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, knowing she was referring to the interest-free loan and the three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation techniques.

Deng Bingding continued, "However, due to the Oasis Group’s illicit operations causing you both significant losses, we’ve decided to demand the Oasis Group compensate you."

Zhang Yu’s heart stirred, realizing she was finding an excuse to reward them.

Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes also brightened, feeling eager to speculate on how much the compensation would be.

Deng Bingding, however, changed the topic and started to talk about another matter: "You might already know that the university uses spirit coins, and the currency from the first layer is almost never accepted on the second layer."

"And if you wish to exchange them, when you go alone to the second layer, the exchange limit is just five spirit coins. According to the current exchange rate, that’s roughly 50.3918 million of the first layer’s currency."

"So my advice to you is... the first layer’s currency is useless to keep, so try to use it as much as possible to exchange for various useful materials."

"The compensation from the Oasis Group this time is the same. I recommend you choose some exclusive materials from within the Oasis Group, rather than taking money."

"For example, some cutting-edge products from Oasis Group’s labs, or some spare magic remains left by Wang Yin..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but feel tempted, and asked, "Did Wang Yin leave spare magic remains behind?"

Deng Bingding smiled slightly, and with a thought, divine power swept through the air, and a light screen appeared in front of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

"These are the three pieces of magic remains that Wang Yin didn’t have time to take. Each of you can pick one as compensation from the Oasis Group."

"By the way," Deng Bingding reminded, "the Jiao Long Spirit Core and the Soul-injuring Brick belong to the Divine Department’s materials. Since the operation has ended, you need to return them later."

Zhang Yu sighed helplessly at this, thinking it was a pity, and then focused his attention on the light screen in front of him.

He discovered the magic remains left by Wang Yin, which were an eye magic remain, a set of lower leg tendon magic remains, and a heart magic remain.

Deng Bingding introduced, "All three sets are top-tier enterprise-level magic remains."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly. He knew magic remains were divided into educational, professional, enterprise, and military-levels, and he and Bai Zhenzhen didn’t have the authority to use military-level resources, so top-tier enterprise-level was most suitable for him.

"The eye magic remains—Time Residual Demon Pupil, has powerful performance, able to connect seamlessly without lag to the Spirit Realm, and can deconstruct visual images into 128 frames for slow motion."

"Wait," Zhang Yu was curious, "what do you mean by connecting seamlessly without lag to the Spirit Realm? Does it mean there are ones that do lag?"

Deng Bingding matter-of-factly responded, "Isn’t lagging quite normal?"

"A mere mortal, encountering incomprehensible problems, seeing indistinct images, that’s a form of lagging. It’s limited by the physical body’s performance."

"Naturally, the eye magic remains also have performance limitations."

"Especially in extremely developed places in the Spirit Realm, even a single Spirit Realm fluctuation from a Nascent Soul strong person’s travel can be considered a custom Spirit Realm effect for strong people."

"It might cause lag in low-performance eye magic remains, not only obscuring vision but also leading to delays and crashes that need rebooting to function again..."

Damn... Zhang Yu cursed inwardly, thinking, once we get up there, us poor folks can’t even see things clearly? Rich people’s effects can make my eyes lag? Can’t even look directly?

Deng Bingding went on to introduce the other two sets of magic remains: "The leg tendon magic remains—Formless Wind Demon, can accelerate with jet propulsion while creating optical afterimages..."

"The heart magic remains—Blood Pump Core, can be used as a second heart, enhancing blood supply throughout the body, and its burning heart mode can push the user into a state beyond limits..."

Just as Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were feeling incredibly excited, contemplating which set of magic remains to choose, Master Xinghuo’s voice sounded in their ears.

"Apologies, I’m late."

With a mane of flaming hair gently floating, Master Xinghuo floated into the office.

He glanced mildly at the three sets of magic remains in the light screen and transmitted his voice to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen: "Zhang Yu, you pick the Time Residual Demon Pupil."

"Bai Zhenzhen, you pick the Formless Wind Demon."

Bai Zhenzhen had already taken a liking to the Formless Wind Demon.

But Zhang Yu was continuously hesitating between the Time Residual Demon Pupil and the Blood Pump Core, and upon hearing Master Xinghuo’s transmission, he looked at him in confusion, seemingly waiting for an explanation.

Master Xinghuo patiently explained via transmission, "The eye magic remains are essential for studying and cultivating above, otherwise you’d be half-blind, unable to see ranks, titles on others’ heads, or even recognize people."

"The Time Residual Demon Pupil’s performance is excellent, enough for you to use until undergraduate graduation, and it’s fine for viewing Nascent Souls directly."

"As for the Blood Pump Core, this magic remain requires at least 150 mana units to sustain, which is too burdensome for you."

"Besides, there’s another reason. I hope that after entering the university, apart from the eye magic remains, you temporarily don’t implant other parts of magic remains."

Master Xinghuo, while working overtime yesterday, had been reviewing Zhang Yu’s profile, repeatedly watching his battles, using his rich experience to ponder over which path is truly suitable for him.

And at this moment, he had reached a conclusion.

Master Xinghuo explained to Zhang Yu: "Zhang Yu, you are different from others, your physique is strong, if you just switch to mass-produced magic remains, it’s truly a waste."

"First go to the Civil Engineering Department to refine your body, earn cultivation capital."

"Then transfer to the Artifact Refining Department, gradually refining your well-honed body into magic remains, or even magic treasures; this is the most suitable powerful path for you."

"And to walk this path, you need to minimize the use of magic remains."

"Otherwise, with each additional use of a part’s magic remain, there will be an additional replaced organ on your body."

"And these replaced organs cannot keep up with your Body Refinement progress."

"Even if you switch to the Artifact Refining Department in the future, these replaced organs won’t hold much value anymore."
