Chapter 450: Chapter 393 Zhang Yu’s Victory
Within the Spirit Realm Space.
As the competition ti ran out, the outcos of the five matches were settled one by one.
Among those, the most unexpected result for the teachers present was naturally the outco of the Zhang Yu team versus the Su YanYang team.
In fact, Zhang Yu and his team had been surprising many teachers since they defeated the Ma Xuan Yi team.
Master Jiao Lei watched as Zhang Yu, Gongshu Jin, Ying Xin, and Yu Xinghan from his class managed to secure the top 7 spots in the Civil Engineering Departnt’s competition in their second year, thinking that his bonus this year would be substantial.
But as a smile appeared on his lips, he glanced at Director Lin, who was silent and expressionless, and imdiately held back his smile.
On the other side, Tu Lishan had no such concerns, laughing heartily, “It seems that no matter how much money Su YanYang throws around or how fancy his smart buildings are, it’s not as practical as Zhang Yu and Shi Huaiyu’s honest work.”
Tu Lishan clearly felt joy within as his disciple Shi Huaiyu secured the seventh place.
Originally, he thought that after Shi Huaiyu’s stock market bankruptcy, her Immortal Path was insufficient, her future potential was limited, and the resources he invested would not yield much, but now it seed to have turned for the better.
“However, from now on, borrowing money for Huaiyu to trade stocks or coins is out of the question.”
Recalling Shi Huaiyu’s kidney-exploding moves in the competition, Tu Lishan internally thought, “I originally believed that after suffering so much, she might change her impulsive character, but it seems this problem is hard to correct in the short term.”
Lang You Gong expressed his opinion, “I feel that at the final stage, Zhang Yu experienced a subtle breakthrough both ntally and physically, indicating that the greater the pressure, the better he performs.”
Tu Lishan nodded repeatedly at this, noticing that regardless of Zhang Yu’s construction style, system, cultivation route, or personality, he seed to thrive under greater challenges.
“In civil engineering, such pressure-resistance is exactly what we need.”
Tu Lishan thought, “To further tap into his potential, perhaps assigning him so truly tough jobs is necessary.”
“Such as unfinished buildings, forced demolitions, subterranean relics, environntal projects, or those that haven’t been completed in hundreds of years… this might further accelerate his growth.”
“But looking at it now, in such a short ti, this kid pushed the Xuanhuang Sealing Mountain Seal beyond Level 10 and advanced the War Demon Life-Extending Technique and Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force to Level 20, his talent is truly remarkable. Director Gao might not be comfortable sending him to overly dangerous places yet.”
Amidst his thoughts, various plans to maximize the potential and profit from Zhang Yu erged in Tu Lishan’s mind.
anwhile, Director Gao was browsing through the chat logs of Zhang Yu’s competition group, feeling surprised, “This kid is actually paying out of his pocket for his teammates? He only has a few spirit coins, and he’s acting like a wealthy person?”
What surprised Director Gao even more was that three classmates were also putting money in along with him.
In Zhang Yu, Director Gao suddenly felt an unfamiliar yet nostalgic sensation he hadn’t experienced in a long, long ti.
On another side, the Magnetic Pole True Monarch was also reviewing the communication information from the two competing teams.
“Su YanYang knows how to achieve the best outco with the lowest cost.”
“Give him a budget of 5 spirit coins for a project, he might achieve the result of spending 10 spirit coins.”
“If he were under my area, I might have him manage a group of Soul Cultivators.”
“But Zhang Yu…” Magnetic Pole True Monarch pondered, “Though he isn’t wealthy, he garners significant trust from his teammates.”
“Perhaps he has a talent for attracting investnts and funding.”
Magnetic Pole True Monarch understood that compared to Martial Arts, Artifact Refining, Alchemy, etc., the ability to inspire trust, leading people to further invest under great pressure and risk was rarer.
If given 5 spirit coins, he might lose them, but might create an effect worth 100 spirit coins.
Nowadays, many formidable figures in Kunxu who amassed wealth through currency creation possess such extraordinary abilities, capable of mobilizing vast resources single-handedly.
“Interesting.”
Magnetic Pole True Monarch thought to himself, “But no hurry in this area, let’s continue cultivating him and see how far he can go, since the money’s from Old Gao anyway.”
With this in mind, Magnetic Pole True Monarch felt even more satisfied; the fact Zhang Yu was basically free was the most pleasing aspect for him.
anwhile, Director Lin was repeatedly reviewing Zhang Yu’s special maneuvers on the field at 100x speed, pondering, “Not High Chongguang’s style, the person behind Zhang Yu’s guidance… could either be from the Construction Departnt, or from the Artifact Refining Departnt or the Talisman Departnt.”
“Spending money to win hearts? Looks like High Chongguang indeed gave him quite plenty of spirit coins.”
With this thought, an idea surged in Lin’s mind, “I wonder what the price would be to recruit him into my fold?”
With the Finance Departnt as backing, Director Lin had beco increasingly wealthy in recent years, thinking, “Let Jiao Lei discuss with him, definitely a deal if 2.5 tis below Ji Yuanshu, but beyond that, other conditions would have to be looked at…”
At the sa ti, as the battle results were released, the rankings after this round of competition erged based on the completion degree of the buildings by each team.
The 1st place was taken by the Peace Faction’s Xuanliang Tian team, the 2nd place by the War Faction’s Mo Enting team, and the 3rd place by the Neutral Faction.
The remaining 4th, 5th places were secured by the Peace Faction, the 6th belonged to the War Faction, while Zhang Yu’s team ranked 7th.
Thus, among the top seven, three teams belonged to the War Faction, three teams belonged to the Peace Faction, and one team belonged to the Neutral Faction.
At present, it seems that the Peace Faction is leading in overall performance, while the Neutral Faction appears to be lagging significantly behind.
So the teachers from the Neutral Faction thought of Su YanYang; if Su YanYang could push into the 7th position, the Neutral Faction wouldn’t look so bad.
Director Lin watched this scene, thinking to himself, “We have the upper hand for now, but in the next round, Mo Enting will definitely challenge Xuanliang Tian and the others.”
Director Gao was also thinking, “Next, the other side will surely find ways to exhaust Mo Enting and lower his chances of success in the challenge.”
Magnetic Pole True Man privately ssaged Director Gao: Let’s wrap it up and leave.
The next mont, the figure of Magnetic Pole True Man had already vanished without a trace.
Watching this scene, Director Gao hurriedly replied: Don’t forget the ti for the next match.
…
anwhile, outside the arena.
“Seventh!!”
Watching their team climb to the seventh position, Yu Xinghan clenched his fists in excitent and then burst into laughter with Ying Xin beside him.
On the other side, Gongshu Jin also let out a long sigh of relief, feeling like his spirit coins were well-spent.
Gongshu Jin then started to borrow money, thinking to himself, “Our team can grab two shares of the Seven Extres, one of which Zhang Yu will definitely get.”
“As for the other share… Shi Huaiyu originally had the best chance, but she’s likely out of funds.”
“As long as my bid is high enough, I have a chance to get it, and it probably won’t even be too expensive.”
Gongshu Jin imdiately understood that this was a mont to compare Immortal Path potential, bloodline connections, and family background.
At the sa ti, people like Che Yufei, Shi Yunxiang, and Tian Yang, though covered in injuries, were all in a cheerful atmosphere, taking screenshots, updating their social dia, and refreshing their resus.
Shi Huaiyu looked at Zhang Yu and said, “Your last batch of steel reinforcent was impressively shoddy… I an, shoddily impressive! It made it tough for them to dismantle and recycle.”
“Enough, enough,” Zhang Yu hurriedly stopped her from speaking: “Although we won the competition, it violated too many of my principles and ethics as a civil engineering person. I won’t do such things again unless absolutely necessary.”
Shi Huaiyu looked at Zhang Yu with so admiration: “This guy… just as shaless as Mr. Tu. Must have scavenged for food at construction sites regularly.”
Just then, a commotion broke out in the distance — Su YanYang was having a row with his teammates.
Shi Huaiyu turned her head with so satisfaction to watch Su YanYang, who was surrounded by everyone, her lips curling into a slight smile: “Ha, Su YanYang will probably need to reorganize his team next year.”
A loud shout ca through: “Su YanYang, on what grounds are you fining money?”
“I think the problem lies with your command! I told you we should just charge forward.”
“They couldn’t even beat us; if we rushed all at once, we might have won directly.”
“It’s all because of you! Insisting on building intelligent structures and forming grand arrays…”
Looking at his angry teammates, Su YanYang coldly said, “There’s nothing wrong with my command; it’s your competition attitude that’s the problem, especially you… Regardless of the battle duration or construction scale, you’re the lowest in the team, and according to the team rules, you should be fined.”
The other party angrily retorted, “Weren’t you the one who made clear the Evil Qi pollution right at the start?”
“Then let ask you, did the data include how I cleared the Evil Qi pollution?”
“Then let ask you again, did the data include your Soul Cultivator operation errors?”
“Answer !”
At the sa ti, the Soul Cultivator sent a ssage to Su YanYang: “Boss, you haven’t paid yet.”
Su YanYang replied: “With results like these, you still want money? I’ve already applied for a refund.”
After blocking the contact, Su YanYang continued arguing with his teammates when he quickly received another paynt reminder from the interdiary company behind the Soul Cultivator.
Interdiary Company: Mr. Su YanYang, if you insist on defaulting, we’ll have no choice but to sue you.
anwhile, Fa Hai Company’s reply also appeared in Su YanYang’s vision.
Ten Thousand Dao Craftsman Sect Custor Service: Mr. Su YanYang, according to the onsite information tracing, there was no malfunction with the Magic Remains; your body’s ridians were invaded. Your compensation claim cannot be approved.
At this mont, even the substitute players ca over to demand refunds from Su YanYang.
In an instant, Su YanYang felt his anger swell within.
“A bunch of useless people, all dragging down.”
Thinking of this, he couldn’t be bothered with anyone anymore, slamd open the way through his teammates, and left on his own.
