You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 322 - 273 The Agreement with Bai Zhenzhen

Fu Ji couldn’t see the projection on Zhang Yu’s retina, but she could hear Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen talking, and she could see Zhang Yu holding Le Mulan.

"Talking with Bai Zhenzhen while holding Le Mulan."

"This kid... really has some aptitude for the Joyful Union Sect."

"Maybe I should have advised him to enroll in Hehuan University back then?"

"If so, cultivating Hehuan Dao and draining Bai Zhenzhen completely... that would also be a path to great success."

Fu Ji shook her head in her heart: "Alas, no use thinking about it now, Bai Zhenzhen is about to be taken by someone else. Zhang Yu should just focus on working at the construction site."

Meanwhile, Bai Zhenzhen turned her head to the side, as if listening to others speak, then said: "Yu Zi, let’s end it here today, I have to go to class."

Zhang Yu nodded: "Go ahead, by the way... if you have time, let’s stay in touch every day."

Bai Zhenzhen felt touched, knowing Zhang Yu was somewhat worried about her being alone and wanted to call her daily to check on her situation.

"Considerate of you, I can probably take a break every day at 2 AM, I’ll contact you then."

Saying this, Bai Zhenzhen smiled brightly, waving at Zhang Yu: "I’m off."

With a whoosh, Bai Zhenzhen’s projection disappeared, and Le Mulan appeared in front of Zhang Yu.

Seeing Le Mulan’s questioning face, Zhang Yu quickly tapped his fingers in the air, adjusting the settings of the Time Residual Demon Pupil projection.

"Seriously, why make this projection so real?"

"Better increase the projection transparency by 50%, otherwise, it’s hard to tell reality from illusion."

While Zhang Yu was setting the eye’s Magic Remains, Le Mulan curiously asked: "Zhang Yu, were you just talking with someone?"

"Yeah." Zhang Yu smiled a bit awkwardly and explained: "I was just contacting Azhen."

Le Mulan: "So... was Bai Zhenzhen’s projection just over me, and you mistook me for her... no, did you hug me while hugging her?"

Feeling more awkward but knowing Le Mulan’s statement was true, Zhang Yu could only nod: "Yeah."

Receiving Zhang Yu’s confirmation, Le Mulan felt a surge of... a completely new emotion.

This emotion was so unfamiliar that at first, she couldn’t understand what was happening to her, only thinking internally: "Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen’s relationship... is really strong."

"They were high school friends, and even though one is now a disciple of a Seven Emotions Divine Monarch, their bond hasn’t changed."

"Even after reaching the second level, they immediately added each other as friends, do they have to hug even over the Spirit Realm Network?"

Mentioning Bai Zhenzhen brought a slight feeling of awe in Le Mulan’s heart.

When she first met Bai Zhenzhen, she was the descendant of an influential family in Songyang City, a noble heiress, while Bai Zhenzhen was just a poor soul mired in debt.

But three years later, now in university, Bai Zhenzhen became a disciple of a Divine Monarch, a possessor of a Spirit Root, Heavenly Sword Noble Lady, Foundation Establishment during high school.

As for Le Mulan... now just a Qi Refinement student from a small place.

In terms of background, wealth, cultivation, achievements... she now had to look up to the other person.

This shift between wealth and poverty, rich and poor, made Le Mulan deeply realize that so-called poverty or wealth are never absolute.

Seeing Le Mulan deep in thought, Zhang Yu asked: "Did you come to see me for something?"

Le Mulan snapped back and said: "We’re about to disembark, I wanted to ask for your Spirit Realm account to add you as a friend."

"After all, once we enter Wanfa University, we’re in different departments, and you’re in the Foundation Establishment class, it would be hard to contact each other without adding as friends."

So they added each other as friends and prepared to queue up to disembark.

On the way, messages started appearing on Zhang Yu’s retina.

Zhao Tianxing from Fengdu Information Technology College has requested to add you as a friend.

Approved.

Zhao Tianxing: Zhang Yu, I’ve already registered and just moved into Fengdu’s Ghost King Banner.

Zhao Tianxing: I joined a group of people from Songyang City, you should join too.

The other party invites you to join the group chat ’Happy Songyang People’

Zhang Yu entered to find not only Zhao Tianxing, whom he added as a friend, but also Qian Shen, Xiong Wenwu, and a bunch of familiar or unfamiliar Songyang City graduates.

Chu Qiuhe from Vajra University: New members, remember to change your name to university name + real name, those who don’t change will be kicked after 24 hours.

"Chu Qiuhe? He got into Vajra University?"

Zhang Yu remembered he was one of the opponents he eliminated in the martial arts competition... and the guy was lying on a stretcher until the competition ended.

But then again, being a regular top ten contestant in Songyang City’s competitions, getting into one of the top ten universities seems reasonable.

Then, Zhang Yu changed his group nickname to Zhang Yu from Wanfa University.

A moment later, the group became lively all of a sudden.

Le Jingchen from Wanfa University: [Fireworks] Welcome the junior to the group [Applause]

Mo Tianyi from Fengdu University: Welcome Zhang Yu, the big boss!

Chu Qiuhe from Vajra University: Welcome Zhang Yu, the big boss!

Xiong Wenwu from Sky Demon University: Welcome Zhang Yu, the big boss!

Hu Yuntao from Sky Demon University: Welcome Zhang Yu, the big boss!

Lian Tianji from Hehuan University: Welcome Zhang Yu, the big boss!

Seeing Lian Tianji’s name, Zhang Yu’s face showed a trace of a peculiar expression: "This Lian Tianji guy, sure knows how to pick a school."

Lanling from Mountain and River University: Old Zhou, come join us in welcoming the big boss @Zhou Chechen from Tianhai University

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "These two guys are also in this group?"

"And Zhou Chechen... It seems that the upheaval in the Zhou family didn’t affect him since he came to university? Or maybe it did but because he didn’t collude with the Evil God, he was spared?"

Meanwhile, Zhou Chechen’s avatar unknowingly turned gray.

After a round of pleasantries with the group, they invited Zhang Yu to bring Yu Xinghan over, and the group was instantly filled with flattery once again, though this time mainly from graduates of White Dragon High School.

While casually browsing the group chat, Zhang Yu along with Le Mulan, Yu Xinghan, and Li Xuelian queued up to slowly disembark from the Flying Boat.

At this moment, the Flying Boat was docked at the university city’s air harbor. After passing through the gates, they officially entered the university city of Wanfa University.

This is the 600th floor of the university city, with a floor height of about 10 meters. The streets that met their eyes were very narrow, with various buildings densely packed on both sides.

No driveways were in sight, most of the traffic consisted of people moving swiftly to and fro.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu saw two worlds simultaneously.

In his left eye, with his natural vision, the city before him was enveloped in concrete and steel, appearing in shades of gray and white, exuding a dead silence.

But in his right eye, using the Magic Remains, the world was vibrant with color, filled with signs, advertisements, and slogans projected from the Spirit Realm Network everywhere,

on either side of the streets, the shops were incredibly lively, with endless supplies of potions, textbooks, Magic Remains... so many commodities they seemed ready to jump out of the shops and into the eyes of passersby.

Each passerby had various titles above their heads, and colorful effects flashed on the surfaces of their bodies and clothes, as well as behind them.

In addition to that, Zhang Yu could see huge road signs floating in the air, marking the directions to different areas and floors.

Notifications of approaching Foundation Establishment Cultivators popped up on his retina from time to time, prompting Zhang Yu to choose to ignore Foundation Establishment Cultivator notifications, highlighting only those for Golden Core and above Cultivators.

Meanwhile, Yu Xinghan beside him covered his eyes and said: "Oh crap... it’s so laggy! The whole world is lagging!"

"Let’s hurry up and go, I’m lagging too much here."

Li Xuelian rolled her eyes and slapped the back of Yu Xinghan’s head, saying, "You brat... just how much money did you waste? Buying such a lousy second-hand item? Replace it when you have the chance."

As they spoke, Zhang Yu and the others followed Li Xuelian forward, arriving at a place marked with Magnetic Channel.

This Magnetic Channel was like a series of enormous pipelines, connecting different floors of the university city.

Zhang Yu watched pedestrians one moment walking on the road, the next navigating up the walls through the channel, heading either to upper or lower levels.

Li Xuelian reminded, "There’s a reinforced electromagnetic field in the Magnetic Channel, convert some thunder mana, and you can freely walk along the channel walls."

"Oh, and you all have a monthly transport pass, right? Otherwise, you won’t be able to use the Magnetic Channels."

Converting special mana, this was content Zhang Yu had begun learning in his first year of high school.

Upon hearing Li Xuelian’s reminder, he, Yu Xinghan, and Le Mulan slightly converted their mana and as they stepped into the Magnetic Channel, they felt a force pulling on their bodies, heavily adhering them to the channel walls.

Or rather, at this moment, the former wall became the ground beneath their feet.

Initially, Zhang Yu could still feel he was walking on a wall, but after a while, particularly upon seeing various shops, vending machines, and advertisements on either side of the channel... it gradually felt no different than walking on the street.

Li Xuelian casually said beside him: "Although this university city has 666 floors and covers an area of over 6600 square kilometers, it’s all within this three-dimensional space of the university city that doesn’t exceed 10 kilometers in height, over 3 kilometers in width and length."

"The high-level utilization of three-dimensional space means that the linear distance to various locations here is actually very short, and cultivators rely on their speed to move back and forth in the Magnetic Channels, which is the most flexible and fastest method."

"Of course, besides the Magnetic Channels, there’s also the central anti-gravity channel that can reach different floors more quickly, but that requires additional transport fees and is generally not used unless there’s an urgent matter."

"I’ll take you through it this first time; after that you’ll go on your own. Remember to make good use of navigation."

And with several consecutive changes of Magnetic Channels, as Zhang Yu walked... sometimes head up feet down, sometimes head down feet up, sometimes head and feet parallel...

Adding to the fact that in this university city, there were neither skies nor a ground for reference, Zhang Yu while walking in it... gradually felt as if space and gravity continuously shifted and confused, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish which side was the sky and which was the ground.

And looking at the countless cultivators around him moving up and down this complex network, Zhang Yu felt... as if he was seeing an enormous beehive.

After a bout of high-speed movement, Zhang Yu finally reached his destination.
