Chapter 541: Chapter 483: (Thanks to ’2–12 Characters’ for the Alliance Leader Reward)
Inside the Civil Engineering Department’s group chat.
Tu Lishan: Congratulations to the competition team for successfully defeating Sky Sword University [fireworks][fireworks][fireworks]
Tu Lishan: Director Gao, [competition video] I have already uploaded it
In an instant, the group chat was flooded with messages of congratulations, with various fireworks animations jumping continuously.
Director Gao looked on and nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied with the results achieved by the competition team this time.
"Win one more, and it will be the champion of the losers’ bracket, ready for the finals."
"Why aren’t the Peace Faction people coming out to congratulate?"
Looking at the names of the speaking teachers, Director Gao frowned and really wanted to call Director Lin out himself.
Especially remembering the last time when people from the Peace Faction had critical words regarding Zhang Yu’s quick grab of the Seven Extremes of Civil Engineering, questioning the process... Thinking of this made Director Gao want even more to call them out to see the competition team’s results.
But thinking about it made him feel it might not be appropriate.
"Might as well ask Tu Lishan to do it..."
Simultaneously, Mo Enting also messaged him: Teacher, I didn’t expect that this time I wouldn’t need to go on stage, Zhang Yu won the match too
Director Gao: It’s not in vain that we let him take the Seven Extremes early
Mo Enting: But there’s one thing I still need to tell you
Listening to the news of Zhang Yu’s breakthrough on stage, Director Gao’s brow gradually furrowed, and he couldn’t help but sigh slightly, only feeling that Zhang Yu had unknowingly been caught up in a storm.
"That shadow artifact... could very well be the Divinity Transformation shadow artifact of Qiongjiang Divine Monarch."
"Involved in the shadow artifact of a Divinity Transformation with just Foundation Establishment level, afraid his future may not be under his control."
Thinking of this, Director Gao envisioned the image of Magnetic Pole True Monarch, and immediately sent a message to inquire.
Director Gao: Have you heard about Zhang Yu’s situation?
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: Rest assured, your disciple is under my protection, and I won’t let your investment go to waste
Seeing Magnetic Pole True Monarch’s reply, Director Gao’s heart couldn’t help but tremble, replying: Magnetic Pole, you also need to be careful
Director Gao: This matter isn’t simple
Director Gao: They give the opportunity to you, intending for you to be at the front
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: Haha, Old Gao, in Kunxu there probably is no opportunity, no matter what risk?
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: I’ve longed for the prestige of Divinity Transformation for so long
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: Instead of worrying about me, you should focus more on your disciple.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: [photo]
Director Gao opened the photo sent by Magnetic Pole True Monarch, seeing Zhang Yu with Bai Zhenzhen and Wen Wuya standing together.
Director Gao was slightly stunned: What’s this?
Magnetic Pole True Monarch briefly introduced the two’s identities, then said: Wen Wuya is fine, but Bai Zhenzhen is surrounded by great risk.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: You know somewhat about the situation of the Seven Emotions line, don’t you?
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: Although I’ve already advised Zhang Yu on the Flying Boat, he still seems somewhat obstinate.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: After he returns, educate him thoroughly, let him completely break off contact with Bai Zhenzhen, and it’s best to directly block her.
...
On the Flying Boat, after Magnetic Pole True Monarch disconnected, he patted Zhang Yu’s head in front of him, smiled, and said, "After you get off the Flying Boat, someone will take you to the lab."
"I’ll be waiting for you at the lab to give you a thorough check-up."
Watching the disappearing figure, Zhang Yu slightly relaxed, thinking that Magnetic Pole True Monarch probably hadn’t found any issues during his inspection.
But he was afraid that the other left some monitoring, though he was immensely curious, he didn’t rush to activate the Blue Lotus Sword Embryo.
As soon as Zhang Yu returned to Wanfa University, he was taken to the lab by Tian Zhang True Monarch.
Watching the backs of the two quickly disappear, Su YanYang, Xiao Yun Ji, and others couldn’t help but show a trace of envy on their faces.
After all, participating in experiments grants improvements in Cultivation Technique and earns money... who wouldn’t want that?
And thinking about how they still needed to work overtime to earn money for cultivation, loan repayments, and other expenses, Shi Huaiyu and others sighed and quickly left.
On the other side, Zhang Yu, walking on the road, heard Tian Zhang True Monarch continuously saying, "The school leaders are very concerned about the results of this project, and they are very satisfied with the outcomes our team achieved."
Zhang Yu thought silently, "What results do you have anyway."
Tian Zhang True Monarch continued, "I’ve heard about the Sky Sword University incident, too dangerous, in the future don’t get entangled with the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch line, it’s troublesome."
He advised, "You need to know, your body now isn’t just yours, but it concerns the entire project team, it concerns the future and prospects of countless people, safety is not to be underestimated."
"I think these external school competitions, if you can avoid them, don’t participate, and try not to leave the campus."
Zhang Yu naturally couldn’t agree to this. The Civil Engineering competition related to comprehensive scores and rankings, and the off-campus projects concerned his income. How could he give up?
Sensing Zhang Yu’s reluctance, Tian Zhang True Monarch smiled but said nothing, planning instead to have Zhang Yu’s teacher persuade him later.
During the conversation, the two had already entered the laboratory.
As soon as they entered, Zhang Yu was taken for various tests, especially to verify the power of his 18th-level Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power.
Upon confirming that Zhang Yu’s cultivation technique level had indeed reached the 18th level, Tian Zhang True Monarch couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
At the same time, Magnetic Pole True Monarch arrived at the lab and started conducting some tests on Zhang Yu again.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch was filled with curiosity about the mysteries of the Divinity Transformation artifact and its effect on enhancing Zhang Yu’s cultivation technique.
"Using dual cultivation techniques to enhance cultivation levels is originally a proprietary technique of Hehuan University. If I can decipher its mysteries, achieving Divinity Transformation may not be a problem anymore."
Having said that, Magnetic Pole True Monarch grabbed Zhang Yu and carefully, yet with a hint of excitement, began collecting samples from him.
Hair, blood, mana... She wanted to leave more samples for the upcoming experiments.
On the other side, Tian Zhang True Monarch took a blurry photo of Zhang Yu being studied, then posted it on his social media account with the caption: This will be a world-changing invention, a new technology with epoch-making significance.
Watching the increasing number of likes and comments, Tian Zhang True Monarch smiled slightly.
Just then, his eyes moved as he saw messages through the Eye Socket, indicating someone had come to visit the lab.
On the other side, after finishing his tasks, Magnetic Pole True Monarch said to Zhang Yu, "Your task for today is over, you can leave."
"However, when your cooperation is needed, you must come at any time."
"Your contract will also be upgraded, the details are still being perfected. I will try to negotiate a higher compensation for you, and I’ll discuss it with you then."
As Magnetic Pole True Monarch was dismissing Zhang Yu, Tian Zhang True Monarch stood outside the lab with a few people.
One of them asked, "Is it alright to let the test subject leave like this?"
Looking at the figure, Magnetic Pole True Monarch’s gaze slightly tightened, thinking, "People from the research department?"
The so-called research department is the authority responsible for managing all Wanfa University’s Immortal Path research projects.
The man before her was someone Magnetic Pole True Monarch knew. His name was Feng Yuhai, a supervisor in the research department and in charge of the Divinity Transformation artifact project.
Zhang Yu felt the warning intent from Feng Yuhai and subconsciously stopped his steps, then glanced back at Magnetic Pole True Monarch.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch said, "When you’re told to leave, just leave, don’t linger."
This time Zhang Yu lifted his foot to leave, and Feng Yuhai did not stop him again, just shook his head and sighed, "You’re just going to let him go like this. What if something happens?"
"The experimental results on him are the school’s important assets."
"Do you know he’s likely already being targeted by other schools, especially Hehuan University?"
Magnetic Pole True Monarch said calmly, "Don’t you have school assets on you? Do I not have them on me? If even the internal environment of Wanfa University isn’t safe, we might as well all stay in our Cave Mansions and never go out."
"You know that’s not what I meant." Feng Yuhai frowned and continued, "These experimental personnel should be strictly managed. I heard he’s also competing outside? Doing projects? I suggest you keep them in the lab and not let them run around."
"What if they’re attacked by people from other schools outside?"
"Also, for the contract you applied for him, why does it have a base salary of 40 spirit coins a month? Isn’t that too high? He’s only being studied, not really participating in technology development, why give him so much money?"
"The funding allocated by the school isn’t for you to misuse like this."
Magnetic Pole True Monarch couldn’t be bothered with him, turning back into the lab: "I have my own arrangements, and I will report any issues to the Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Monarch. It’s not your place to interfere."
As the lab doors closed, Tian Zhang True Monarch smiled helplessly and said, "Magnetic Pole True Monarch is just like that, too engrossed in research. Sometimes she has a peculiar temper."
Feng Yuhai snorted coldly, "Is this a temper issue? It’s wasting the school’s funding and resources, putting the school’s assets at risk."
"I’ll report to the higher-ups about your situation here in detail, even if it’s Magnetic Pole, I won’t let her mess around."
Watching Feng Yuhai leave in a huff, Tian Zhang True Monarch shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, a voice sounded: "Tian Zhang True Monarch, shall we continue the tour?"
Tian Zhang True Monarch looked towards the source of the voice and saw that it was Jiutian Liu from the Finance Department.
Though still just a student, Tian Zhang True Monarch wouldn’t underestimate him. Apart from his Finance Department background, there was the fact that he was backed by the Divinity Transformation Master—Golden Palace Divine Monarch.
Although Tian Zhang True Monarch respected all three Divinity Transformation Divine Monarchs at the school, he had special respect for the Golden Palace Divine Monarch.
He knew Golden Palace Divine Monarch’s background in the Finance Department, having significant influence over the allocation of the school’s various funds and investments.
Besides, it’s unknown how many companies and assets the other held, with just a fraction being enough to make the whole project thrive.
For this Divinity Transformation artifact experiment project, there was a part of the other’s investment.
And Jiutian Liu’s visit this time was to conduct an investigation for potential additional investment from the funding behind him.
Tian Zhang True Monarch smiled slightly, "Haha, yes, yes, let’s continue the tour."
Jiutian Liu said, "Can I see that artifact?"
He smiled and said, "I personally want to try the effects of this artifact."
