When Zhang Yu returned to the dormitory and shared his thoughts, Zhang Pianpian asked him to wait a mont, then sent him a file.
Zhang Yu asked curiously, "What is this?"
Zhang Pianpian replied, "The pharmaceutical factory where the explosion happened belongs to the Mingxin Group."
"Theoretically, Mingxin Group is a company affiliated with the Dan Ding Sect, one of the ten major sects, and its main task on the second floor is to manufacture dicines for sale up top."
"The material I sent you is a list of equipnt, building materials, and decor materials for the factory."
"Also, a list of the raw materials procured by this pharmaceutical factory."
Zhang Pianpian added, "But just having nas isn’t enough. You need to know the items yourself."
Glancing at the materials list, Zhang Yu felt he could understand most of it, pairing it with the Civil Engineering Departnt’s textbooks.
"But these raw materials for pharmaceuticals..."
Zhang Yu suddenly thought of Le Mulan.
So, after school that day, Zhang Yu started consulting Le Mulan, asking her to help check the properties and identification thods of so raw materials.
After all, Le Mulan was a student of the pharmacology departnt, and with her own knowledge frawork and the textbook library, she helped Zhang Yu identify most of the raw materials, bit by bit.
In the following days, besides working, Zhang Yu spent ti collecting, identifying, and consuming materials.
To ensure he had more ti for these activities, he even requested leave from his departnt.
The Civil Engineering Departnt approved Zhang Yu’s leave quite quickly.
After all, was it wrong for students to skip classes to earn more money? Especially when it was a project within the departnt.
...
Within the factory area.
"Found more food!"
Zhang Yu picked up several tal fragnts and swallowed them whole, thinking, "Grade three spiritual alloy, used for valve construction in high-temperature, high-pressure environnts."
"Perfect for strengthening my bones."
With the operation of the Earth Eating Divine Skill, Zhang Yu felt a slight heaviness in his hand bones, experiencing subtle changes in density and weight.
Monts later, Zhang Yu grabbed a handful of black fragnts and swallowed them: "High polyr polyrs, used for buffer components in high-wear environnts; ideal for strengthening my joints."
"Heaven-Eroding mbrane Marrow, a biological material refined from parasites, acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, high-temperature resistant, with strong toughness and impact resistance; originally used as a key material for drug filtration, now it will be incorporated into my bone mbrane."
Considering the factory repairs would last no more than 15 days, and the network and monitoring restoration could happen even earlier, Zhang Yu planned his consumption schedule efficiently.
"Rather than eating randomly, strengthening here and there."
"Better to focus on collecting specific materials to prioritize enhancing bone strength."
With his consumption focus decided, Zhang Yu was like a custor at a seafood buffet fixated on gorging on a single category.
With wave after wave of eating, he felt his bones becoming increasingly sturdy and solid, his body growing heavier than ever.
Apart from materials, Zhang Yu didn’t overlook drugs and their raw materials either.
Especially after hearing from Zhang Pianpian that the factory-produced pharmaceuticals were ant for the people above, he beca even more intrigued.
"This is Wu Xia Flying Orchid extract, long-term use enhances auditory and visual senses."
"This is the extract essence of Zibai Wenzi; it can strengthen the fire elent in mana."
"This is Jing Xue Su, Jingxue Grass extract, used to increase physical perceptiveness..."
After discerning and experinting with more raw materials, Zhang Yu started feeling disappointed.
"From a mass-production factory, rely consuming these raw materials extensively might be a waste of my ti."
Eventually, Zhang Yu’s attention shifted to the leaked semi-finished pharmaceuticals.
Not that he was unwilling to pick finished products, but they were collected by the factory itself during the first wave of disaster relief.
The biggest issue with semi-finished products was their uncertainty; whether they would have effects and what kind; all uncertain before consuming.
Fortunately, with the pharmaceutical list provided by Zhang Pianpian and Le Mulan’s assistance, Zhang Yu could ensure that the factory’s output wouldn’t exceed the capacity of his university-level Sacred Body.
Therefore, Zhang Yu could only try each one, feeling like he was drawing a lottery every day.
There was a blackish paste that, after ingestion, gradually stimulated his Spirit Root within the Qi Sea, hinting at increased Spirit Root fusion.
Another type of yellow powder caused itching beneath his skin, surprisingly growing so scales, prompting him to stop imdiately and remove them.
So semi-finished products gave him a light sensation in his mind, enhancing the ntal thod’s operation effects.
Others surprisingly caused his muscles to stretch and bones to grow, enlarging his physique by a full circle, making his regular height soar to 2.05 ters, forcing him to constrict his body actively.
Overall, these semi-finished products varied significantly in appearance and effects, making it difficult for Zhang Yu to distinguish, so he could only consu randomly, experiencing occasional bodily enhancents.
But most morable was a golden pill he found, the only complete pill discovered during the entire factory repair project.
After swallowing this golden pill, Zhang Yu felt an indescribable surge of vitality and energy throughout his body.
Later, after Zhang Pianpian and Le Mulan identified it, he learned that it was a Life-extending Pill, instantly extending his life by about a year upon consumption.
"Life-extending Pill?"
Zhang Yu, upon learning about it, felt incredibly strange in his heart: "Isn’t the Life-extending Pill not on the list of dicines produced by this factory?"
In response, Zhang Pianpian did not answer him in detail as usual, rely saying lightly, "Life extension is a very special resource, of great importance... Don’t ask too much, don’t ddle, don’t think too much right now."
Zhang Yu could only press down the doubts in his heart, rely wondering if the attack on the dicine factory this ti could be related to that Life-extending Pill?
In the blink of an eye, 15 days passed. As the network was improved, arrays were repaired, surveillance was restored... Zhang Yu found it increasingly difficult to while away his ti in idleness in the last few days.
Yu Xinghan, looking at Zhang Yu returning to the dormitory, couldn’t help but ask, "You’re working so hard every day, how co you seem to have gained a bit of weight?"
Zhang Yu said lightly, "Overwork fat."
Yu Xinghan couldn’t help but ask again, "You also seem to have grown taller?"
Zhang Yu replied casually, "The cultivation technique is practiced well; I’ve developed a second ti."
These days, relying on massive intake of food, Zhang Yu’s strength had advanced significantly.
Especially with all kinds of high-strength materials fortified into his bones, the performance in all aspects greatly improved, with strength far exceeding that of half a month ago.
Zhang Yu thought to himself: "With my current high-density, high-strength bones, combined with the Civil Engineering Sacred Body, resistance is truly astounding."
What’s more, this bone strengthening does not change with Zhang Yu switching out different Chain Technique gear, and it can complent his Civil Engineering Sacred Body, University Sacred Body, Martial Arts Sacred Fetus, and multiple sets.
And the comprehensive fortification of his bones also led to continuous advancent in Zhang Yu’s physical strength, which has now reached level 12.31.
Additionally, the fusion of the Spirit Root had made breakthroughs after multiple instances of consuming semi-finished pharmaceuticals, currently reaching a 90% fusion rate of his Spirit Root.
His normal physical form had even reached 2.08 ters, and with the growth in height and changes in bones, his weight continuously increased, further enhancing his physical explosiveness.
Besides this, his basic data also showed improvent; his Dao Heart reached level 12 (68.1%), and his mana broke through to 401.1.
Zhang Yu felt with this wave, various materials, drugs... if he had to buy them himself, it probably wouldn’t co down to less than twenty to thirty spirit coins.
At this mont, he only had one sigh in his heart: "What a pity... can’t take it out."
"Never mind, where do you see people getting takeout from buffets?"
"I just don’t know if my current level is enough to get into the top three in class rankings."
"After class tomorrow, I’ll update the data and see how the rankings look after they’re updated."
Since taking leave, Zhang Yu had been running to the construction site every day and hadn’t been to class for half a month, relying entirely on Yu Xinghan’s notes to catch up on course content.
Just then, as the dormitory door opened, Le Mulan walked in.
Zhang Yu imdiately said, "Co, let give you so blood; your Foundation Establishnt exam should be in a few days, right?"
Despite focusing on work and indulging in food and drink these days, Zhang Yu hadn’t forgotten to share so of his blood for Le Mulan to consu.
Especially considering his nutritious diet these days, even the effectiveness of his blood increased significantly, allowing Le Mulan to gain so benefits as well.
On one side, Yu Xinghan said, "Bro, give so too."
Just as Zhang Yu was sharing his blood, a series of notifications appeared before his eyes.
There was a theft incident at the underground second-level park of the Mingxin pharmaceutical factory, with over 300 tons of materials missing. After an investigation by the security team, workers Zhang Hetian, Zeng Huai’an, and more than a dozen others were found to be major suspects. Upon questioning, the suspects confessed to the cri without reservation...
Looking at this notification, Zhang Yu thought: "300 tons? They actually dared to take this much? No... how did they manage to take it? Did these dozen workers really take it?"
Just then, another notification appeared.
Employee Zhang Yu, in this rehabilitation project, dared to challenge and took the lead boldly, single-handedly completing the task of clearing twelve hundred tons of waste, and was selected as a model worker, with a special announcent issued as encouragent.
Zhang Yu thought back to when he was picking up things while also clearing away waste, unknowingly transporting so much?
At the sa ti, the 8 tis salary from the past 15 days was already credited, skyrocketing Zhang Yu’s account balance to 12.51 spirit coins.
While Zhang Yu was feeling a surge of emotions looking at the number of spirit coins, a ssage from Tu Lishan arrived.
"Zhang Yu, your performance this ti was quite impressive."
"Director Gao thinks highly of you."
"Next month, there’s an outdoor project, and the departnt plans to select a batch of outstanding students from all grades for training. Are you interested?"
...
Seeing Zhang Yu selected as a model worker, Ying Xin felt a sense of unease.
After confirming through so channels that Zhang Yu had replaced her and obtained the opportunity to participate in the outdoor project, she felt even more indignant.
"Why?"
"It’s understandable that Gongshu Jin got selected; that’s a given... but why can this Zhang Yu replace ?"
When she expressed her doubts to Tu Lishan, Tu Lishan responded with a smile, "Director Gao wants to select so well-talented, strong yet hardworking, money-driven civil engineering seeds this ti. Ying, you are still a bit lacking in this regard."
Tu Lishan thought to himself: "Only in the sixth generation of civil engineering people, already want to sit at the table, don’t want to do dirty and tiring work, want to wash away the earthy sll... Is the Civil Engineering Departnt lacking such people as you? The Director is looking for useful tools, not precious porcelain; if everyone keeps slacking off and refuses to work hard, how will the departnt make money?"
He chuckled to himself: "Following Gongshu Jin every day, thinking you’re also one of the top? Unaware that university might be the closest you get in this lifeti."
On the other side, Ying Xin still felt aggrieved, saying, "I can endure hardship, and I can work hard too."
"Moreover, I’m stronger than Zhang Yu. Doesn’t university judge by strength and ranking?"
"I want to challenge Zhang Yu to a duel!"
Tu Lishan chuckled at her words and said, "Alright, let’s see who between the two of you can endure more hardship and work harder."
