You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 326 - 277: Terrible Talent, Solely Relying on Background

Chapter 326: Chapter 277: Terrible Talent, Solely Relying on Background

"Wang Yin?"

Gongshu Jin always felt that the name Wang Yin sounded familiar.

Suddenly, he remembered that he should have seen an advertisement from the Oasis Group, where there seemed to be someone named Wang Yin.

At the time, he merely glanced at it and did not leave a deep impression.

And just now, Li Xiao was discussing something but wasn’t clear on many specific details, speaking vaguely.

Gongshu Jin decided to investigate for himself.

A moment later, Gongshu Jin was surprised to find he couldn’t find anything.

"Impossible, I remember seeing the Oasis Group advertisement..."

Suddenly, Gongshu Jin realized: "Oh right, I’ve only recently reached the 2nd level; I probably saw that ad when I was on the 4th level."

Thinking about it, Gongshu Jin became even more curious and decided to contact an employee on the 4th level through the company’s special line to help investigate the matter.

Gongshu Jin thought to himself, "It’s a pity my permissions aren’t high enough; otherwise, I wouldn’t need to go through this trouble. I could directly access upper-tier network information through the Spirit Realm Network."

Shortly, there was news.

"Indeed, there was such an advertisement, but now it has mostly been withdrawn, and even related comments, posts, videos have been individually blocked, deleted, taken down."

"The live broadcast you wanted, I still spent some spirit coins to find it."

In the next moment, the video image appeared in Gongshu Jin’s ocular remains.

It was Zhang Yu riding on Wang Yin, striking his face over and over.

Seeing this scene, Gongshu Jin’s eyes flashed with thought.

Li Xiao looked at Gongshu Jin’s expression and knew that he was surely searching materials using his Magic Remains, so he quickly added, "President Wang treated Zhang Yu with profound kindness, yet ended up being stabbed in the back. This Zhang Yu is like an ungrateful dog..."

"Hmm..." Gongshu Jin nodded but said, "Ungrateful? Why bother? You can just make friends."

Gongshu Jin didn’t take Li Xiao’s words seriously.

Li Xiao, this poor guy from the 1st level, has poor grades and ranks far behind him...

To Gongshu Jin, can he even consider this person? He can barely be considered a dog that looks somewhat human, at most a dog companion, not reaching the level of a human friend.

Especially since Li Xiao didn’t even know which level Wang Yin came from and didn’t understand the depth of the matter.

Gongshu Jin estimated... even on the 2nd level, maybe only companies dealing with 1st level commerce and a few people who pay attention to 1st level news would know about Zhang Yu defeating Wang Yin.

Zhang Yu defeated Wang Yin, who had voluntarily crippled his own cultivation in the battle, indicating Zhang Yu’s strong talent, with a considerable combat power upon entering the Foundation Establishment stage, but it didn’t matter to Gongshu Jin.

He watched the video image and cared not for Zhang Yu’s displayed talent and combat power, but the final result.

In Gongshu Jin’s view, Zhang Yu riding on Wang Yin and pounding him unconscious, yet still able to run to university for the Foundation Establishment class, indicated an extraordinary background.

This is the true style, true momentum, full of true charm, far surpassing any extraordinary talent or brilliance.

Conversely... no matter how strong Zhang Yu’s displayed talent, or how capable in battle, he wouldn’t mind, only estimate a price for the opposing side in his heart.

"Better to ask the True God to check, what exactly is Zhang Yu’s background? To beat Wang Yin so violently and still not get killed in the 1st level?"

Thinking this while temporarily abandoning his original plan to recruit Zhang Yu, Gongshu Jin instead considered if he could become friends with him.

What does friendship mean? To Gongshu Jin, it’s either someone with money, someone with background, or someone with exceptionally good grades.

"Moreover, Zhang Yu received the Foundation Establishment certification in sophomore year, a year earlier than me, yet his stats are still 20% lower than mine; seems his talent is extremely poor, relying purely on background."

Gongshu Jin certainly didn’t expect... After Zhang Yu acquired the Foundation Establishment certification, he delayed for a long time because he couldn’t afford a Spirit Root.

He thought inwardly, "With such talent, he’s impossible to catch up to me in the future and will even fall further behind, posing no threat to me securing first place in the class."

"Instead, his background might actually help me."

Thinking about this, Gongshu Jin increasingly felt Zhang Yu suitable to befriend.

Li Xiao, without knowing much, listened to what was said and could feel Gongshu Jin’s favorable impression of Zhang Yu, both surprised and jealous inside.

Gongshu Jin then directly approached Zhang Yu, glanced at Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan, and employed his customary method of making friends.

No pleasantries, no small talk, Gongshu Jin decided to directly demonstrate his wealth.

It’s the friendship rule he’s used from a young age, repeatedly proving effective.

Usually, after he displays his wealth, the wealthy will accept him, while the poor will flatter him.

To Gongshu Jin, wealth is like one’s grades or rankings, an absolutely effective and reasonable match mechanism that can shield him from ineffective social interactions.

"Greetings to both of you."

Gongshu Jin showed off his back, gently stroking with one hand above and one below on his spinal Magic Remains, laughed lightly and said, "Look at this Vajra University crafted spinal Magic Remains, how much does it cost?"

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, thinking, "Is this guy here to flaunt his wealth at me?"

Seeing Zhang Yu’s silence, Li Xiao chimed in, "At least 15 spirit coins, right?"

Gongshu Jin calmly said, "It cost me 20 spirit coins."

"After all, the spine’s raw material came from Vajra University’s master, crafted from a master’s painstakingly cultivated spine."

"A professional cultivator of bones would take a year to regenerate the same model of spine Magic Remains, so such an identical piece of spinal Magic Remains is available only once a year."

Zhang Yu cursed inwardly, "Damn rich people!"

Seeing the unruffled Zhang Yu, Gongshu Jin thought, "Could it be that Vajra University’s craftsmanship doesn’t impress him?"

Gongshu Jin slightly frowned and said, "Hey, let’s add each other as friends."

Although he only wanted to find Zhang Yu, seeing that Yu Xinghan was with the other person, Gongshu Jin thought he might as well add both of them and learn a bit about them.

Along with accepting the friend request, Gongshu Jin had already utilized the unique ability of his Eye Remains, revealing the Eye Remains model of his friends.

Observing the Eye Remains model through his friend’s position was another of his social tricks.

"Time Residual Demon Pupil? Such a top-tier Eye Remains?"

"This Zhang Yu... is a friend."

At this moment, Gongshu Jin knew he had not misjudged; Zhang Yu was definitely not an ordinary person.

"But it seems like this friend of mine doesn’t like to talk much and doesn’t show off his Eye Remains. Is he the modest type like Ji Yuanshu?"

"But after knowing my financial resources, he should understand we can become friends." freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"Today, let’s just add each other as friends. There’s plenty of time for the rest later."

Thinking of this, Gongshu Jin nodded at Zhang Yu, then said nothing further and turned around to leave.

Li Xiao watched as Zhang Yu remained indifferent and Gongshu Jin walked away, secretly amused, "Heh, this Zhang Yu, with his bad temper, must have offended Gongshu Jin too, right?"

At this moment, Yu Xinghan nodded, "Sure, let’s add each other."

On the other side, Gongshu Jin looked at the friend request he just approved and frowned slightly, "Extreme Tiger? Such an old model too."

"This is not a friend."

With that thought, Gongshu Jin silently deleted Yu Xinghan from his friends list.

On the other side, Ji Yuanshu watched coldly, thinking, "According to my recent investigation, the Oasis Group seems to have already made a move on this Zhang Yu."

"This Zhang Yu might be caught between Wanfa and Nether Realm’s conflict..."

"But it has nothing to do with me anyway. To me, Civil Engineering students are just passersby. Zhang Yu, for now, is leagues behind me, purely on the data front, posing no threat to my ranking."

"Let’s just ignore it."

"I just need to focus on securing first place in my class for three years and then transition to finance, aiming for the top 30 of the whole school."

"That’s what my master planned for me."

...

After class, everyone in the classroom quickly dispersed.

Zhang Yu patted Yu Xinghan on the shoulder and said, "Where are you heading next?"

Yu Xinghan, annoyed, said, "Damn! Why did Gongshu Jin delete me!"

Zhang Yu, recalling Gongshu Jin’s behavior, said, "He probably looks down on us."

As everyone left, Yu Xinghan felt his Eye Remains becoming much smoother and nodded, "It’s quite normal for people from the fourth layer to look down on us first layer folks. If it were me, I’d look down too."

Yu Xinghan remembered Master Xinghuo’s advice and said, "Anyway, focus on improving grades and rankings."

"First-layer folks have no future in socializing at university."

"Only grades and rankings... are our only confidence."

"But first, I need to get this crappy Eye Remains replaced. Where are you going?"

Zhang Yu’s eyes moved slightly and said, "I want to check out the Grand Library and see if I can exchange for some Cultivation Techniques."

Zhang Yu used his Eye Remains to navigate his way to the Grand Library.

Upon checking, he discovered the Grand Library was not a physical location but a website.

At the same time, their Foundation Establishment class teacher, Master Jiao Lei, sent a message in the class group.

Master Jiao Lei: [Link] This is the latest class ranking, arranged according to everyone’s foundational data upon joining the class. Future rankings will be continuously updated based on comprehensive performance. Everyone can first take a look at their current standing in the class.

"Class ranking?"

Zhang Yu clicked in and found that the list contained all of Wanfa University’s second-layer campus rankings, including the overall school list, department lists, and class list.

The subpage sent by Master Jiao Lei was exactly the ranking of their Foundation Establishment class.

Rank 13, Zhang Yu.

"Not bad." Zhang Yu nodded, "I’ll just slowly progress from here."

The next moment, as Zhang Yu actively connected to the Grand Library, after confirming his identity and permissions, he felt the scene in front of him change with lights and shadows, with countless bookshelves suddenly appearing, occupying every corner of his view.

Row after row, these endless bookshelves projected by his Eye Remains appeared before him.

This is Wanfa University’s Grand Library.

As Zhang Yu tapped his fingers, the rows of bookshelves were categorized and arranged according to his request.

"The Cultivation Techniques I need to find..."

Before coming to Wanfa University, Zhang Yu had already planned his cultivation after entering the university.

Especially considering his cultivation experience during high school, Zhang Yu believed that upon entering university, the first thing he should do... is to check if there is a university Sacred Body similar to the high school Sacred Body in the Chain Technique Map.

"The high school Sacred Body was so suitable for development that, if I had obtained it earlier, my cultivation during high school would have progressed at least two or three times faster."

"I hope the university has a university Sacred Body too."

The next moment, as Zhang Yu’s mind moved, entry-level Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation Techniques appeared before his eyes.
