You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 358 - 307 Mortality Rate and Morbidity Rate

A large area of ruins was cleared, the ground was leveled once again, and then a series of simple houses were erected with the joint efforts of many Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Zhang Yu was assigned to a six-person room. Just as he carried his luggage inside, he saw a student with gray hair named Che Yufei, along with a student from the demon lineage with a hairy face.

Seeing Zhang Yu’s arrival, Che Yufei smiled and said, "Freshman? I’m Che Yufei, a sixth-year student."

He pointed to the demon lineage student next to him and said, "This is Shi Yunxiang, a fourth-year."

With that, Che Yufei placed a large handful of Dao Heart Buffer capsules in front of Zhang Yu and asked, "Want some?"

Zhang Yu shook his head, smiling, "These can easily lead to dependency; I don’t really take them."

Though having an incredibly strong tolerance to drugs, Zhang Yu seldom consumed Dao Heart buffer-type medications.

Che Yufei was slightly stunned, giving Zhang Yu an odd glance, seemingly not expecting a college student, particularly one from the Civil Engineering Department, to avoid these.

Beside him, Shi Yunxiang grabbed the buffer capsules from Che Yufei’s hand and swallowed them. In an experienced tone, he advised, "Kid, when I was a freshman, I also thought that after all the hardships in high school, nothing would scare me."

"Heh..." he sneered, enjoying the stimulating rush from the buffer capsules in his brain, "But when the project really starts, you’ll realize those hardships from high school are nothing in college."

"Without these, you really can’t endure."

Zhang Yu neither refuted nor argued because Shi Yunxiang’s advice was well-intended, yet Zhang Yu genuinely disliked taking Dao Heart buffer drugs.

Seeing Zhang Yu’s attitude, Che Yufei and Shi Yunxiang didn’t say much more. In their eyes, it won’t be long before Zhang Yu is tormented to the point of being desperate, and he’ll likely consume even more Dao Heart buffer drugs than them.

After that, the other students in the six-person room arrived one by one. Zhang Yu observed that Che Yufei, the sixth-year student, was the eldest among them.

Four of them were from the second tier, with Zhang Yu being the only first-tier person and another student from the third tier.

After brief introductions, there weren’t further interactions; each either studied, practiced breathing techniques, or cultivated outside.

After wandering around outside, Zhang Yu puzzlingly asked, "Is there no restroom here?"

Che Yufei gave him a knowing look, thinking to himself that Zhang Yu truly is a delicate freshman, "You haven’t modified yourself? Haven’t installed Magic Remains? But it’s fine..."

He pointed outside and said, "Isn’t the whole construction site a restroom? Just find a secluded spot and do your business wherever you want."

After a brief rest, everyone welcomed the first dinner on the construction site.

Zhang Yu looked at the list of drugs floating in his mind’s eye, each with detailed explanations of its effects and side effects, along with a display of affected body parts on a human model.

There’s the Heart Burning Pill, which speeds blood circulation and enhances muscle strength, but its side effect is increased heart workload, potentially leading to cardiovascular issues with long-term use, marked by a large red area on the heart of the human model.

The Yin Sha Fumi Pill increases mana coldness but corrodes bone marrow, potentially causing anemia, fever, and even leukemia with long-term use. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

The Erosion of Liver Vein Powder tears and reshapes meridians, boosting mana flow but stressing the liver and causing infections.

Zhang Yu also noticed that every time he selected a drug, numbers on the human model would change.

Sudden death probability 0.06%

Leukemia probability 0.012%

Sepsis 0.034%

Zhang Yu realized these calculations assess the risks of taking the drugs he selects.

With each passing day, as he consumes more drugs, the probabilities of various diseases and death steadily increase.

Through Zhang Yu’s Magic Remains, Fu Ji also saw the drug selection interface and mused, "Quite thorough consideration, stopping you from focusing too much harm on one bodily area, maximizing the chance of living longer."

"The Civil Engineering Department is quite humane, just this service significantly extends students’ lifespans."

After Zhang Yu chose a five-combo drug package, the medicated meal was delivered a while later.

Che Yufei, seeing Zhang Yu consume so much at once, couldn’t help but warn, "Freshman, take it easy."

Zhang Yu smiled faintly and said, "No worries, my drug tolerance is quite strong."

Che Yufei shook his head indifferently, thinking that any student admitted to Wanfa University didn’t have weak dosage tolerance.

He thought Zhang Yu would learn his lesson after just one visit to the medical office.

Zhang Yu first swapped the Chain Technique Map to the university’s Sacred Body and then swallowed the medication, feeling a torrent of hot medicinal power spreading from his lower abdomen, surging into his limbs and bones, crashing over his organs and muscles like tidal waves and floods.

Sensing his entire body heating up, Zhang Yu felt like a flame was about to burst out of his chest.

Secretly, he thought, "What fierce medicinal power."

Quickly, Zhang Yu stepped outside and began cultivating the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen to digest the medicinal power.

Simultaneously, he noticed many students from poor classes would start cultivating after taking their medicine.

With the cultivation of Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, Zhang Yu felt the medicinal power surging back and forth within his body, causing his muscles and bones to show signs of growth under its catalysis.

At the same time, he could also feel his heart pounding rapidly, with various organs revealing subtle damage in different spots.

He immediately exerted all his effort to activate the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique in his mind, continuously using the activation of his body to self-heal, combating the side effects of the drug’s potency.

Just as Zhang Yu and Che Yufei were busy digesting dinner.

On the other side, Gongshu Jin was also having his first dinner at the construction site.

However, unlike the various potential-enhancing drugs with huge side effects taken by Zhang Yu and the others.

At this moment, the drugs taken by Gongshu Jin and the seniors were not only filtered through numerous hands with very low side effects, but each was custom-made based on their physical condition and cultivation technique. It was as if they were protecting a treasure, safeguarding their bodies, and accumulating their potential, only to release it explosively later.

Of course, this one-on-one drug service is also very expensive.

Gongshu Jin glanced out the window at Zhang Yu and the others undergoing Body Refinement, as if he was seeing a bottle that clearly had no water but was being squeezed repeatedly to extract just a bit of water.

"Lacking potential, requiring so much stimulation, exhausting all means to squeeze out just a little."

Feeling his body naturally strengthened under the drug’s effects, Gongshu Jin thought to himself, "With enough potential, even without doing anything... potential will slowly spill over."

...

After finishing digesting dinner, a wave of Divine Power mixed with the fluctuation of the Spiritual Mechanism swept across the entire site.

Fu Ji sensed something and said, "The Spirit Realm Network has been set up."

Zhang Yu’s eye sockets flashed as he received the online notification from Tu Lishan.

Everyone then followed the construction site’s schedule and began today’s online learning session.

With the connection to the Spirit Realm Network, Zhang Yu was delighted, thinking that the construction site could indeed connect to the internet.

But the next moment, seeing the tenfold network rate, he couldn’t help but curse inwardly, "This is too expensive, isn’t it?"

Zhang Yu quickly sent a message to assure Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Pianpian, then asked Yu Xinghan for class notes and online learning materials, and finally disconnected from the Spirit Realm Network.

And the so-called online learning materials were actually the course videos from today.

Zhang Yu and the others were required to watch the entire day’s courses at ten times the speed to seize time for further cultivation and work on the construction site.

Watching the video with teachers speaking rapidly and their figures flashing quickly, Zhang Yu absorbed the knowledge while musing, "This... actually seems quite good, saving me a lot of class time."

"But did Yu Xinghan send me the wrong one? This is his own recorded class video, right?"

Seeing Yu Xinghan’s class video recorded with Magic Remains, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but curse, "This guy... why does he keep recording Ying Xin? I want to watch the teacher."

...

Yu Xinghan was watching the views of his short video change, musing to himself, "Every time, the video of Ying Xin gets the highest views?"

He analyzed, "Maybe I should shoot a massage parlor next time?"

...

Just as Zhang Yu and Che Yufei quickly finished the online course and prepared to start work.

On Gongshu Jin’s side, the courses had just begun.

Because their daily workload wasn’t as much as Zhang Yu and the others, Gongshu Jin and the others had more time for classes.

At this moment, Gongshu Jin’s consciousness had already reached deep into the Spirit Realm, receiving guidance from the teachers.

Furthermore, after paying more, he not only received one-on-one guidance from the teachers, but the Spirit Realm classroom in front of him reached more than 99% realism, making Gongshu Jin feel like he was face-to-face with the teachers in reality.

As Gongshu Jin continued to pay more, the entire teaching space began to accelerate continuously, first by 2 times, then by 4 times, eventually reaching 10 times as Gongshu Jin’s consciousness gradually adapted to the increase.

This meant that in this consciousness space of the Spirit Realm, he could gain ten times more time for learning than the material world.

Gongshu Jin was used to this; as long as one has money, time can be accelerated, and time can also be bought.

...

On the ruins, the students from the poor class had already started their first night’s work—continuing to clean up the ruins.

According to the plan, they had to clear the entire factory ruins within half a month to prepare for the construction of the new factory.

Tu Lishan’s reminder appeared in Zhang Yu’s eye sockets: This used to be a puppet factory established by Mountain Sea University, which was attacked by several Golden Core Realm criminals, causing destructive damage to all production lines.

Tu Lishan: Although some time has passed, there might still be residual mana at the Golden Core Realm within the site.

Tu Lishan: Besides, the factory’s protective array and feng shui arrays might still have some parts functioning.

Tu Lishan: Moreover, during the manufacturing of puppets, some heavily polluting materials are used, and they need to be handled with utmost caution...

Zhang Yu took a deep breath, circulating the mana within his body for a cycle, and had already cast the Mountain True Form Chapter, causing his body to subtly expand.

He carefully walked among the ruins, stirring up Gang Qi, shattering the remnants, and clearing them away.
