Within the restaurant, Zhang Yu’s sounds of devouring rice echoed throughout the entire space.

Accompanying the rumbling of his intestines, thunderous roars reverberated from Zhang Yu’s belly.

He seized his rice bowl, tilted his head back, and with a single gulp, emptied the entire bowl, the rice visibly descending from his bulging throat and chest into his abdomen.

Then, Zhang Yu exhaled, and streams of martial qi surged forth, like a cloud enveloping a large portion of the dragon liver and phoenix gall, guiding it towards his mouth.

Amidst the sounds of impact, Zhang Yu’s steel-like teeth clamped down, and chunks of dragon liver and phoenix gall flesh exploded in his mouth, the intense meaty aroma intertwined with an unusual oiliness, lightly teasing his taste buds, causing Zhang Yu’s eyebrows to arch upward involuntarily!

With each mouthful of rice and meat, Zhang Yu felt the consumed food transforming into streams of pure essence, coursing wildly through his body, devoured by his muscles, organs, bones… with unrestrained fervor!

Gongshu Jin, standing nearby, mused inwardly, “This fellow… possesses such potent digestive abilities?”

“But to immediately request three more bowls of Celestial Essence Rice and three plates of Dragon Liver and Phoenix Gall… that’s far too much. Isn’t he afraid of bursting himself?”

Simultaneously, the others in the restaurant cast amused gazes at Zhang Yu, who was currently devouring meat and rice with gusto!

In their minds, private conversations sparked among them: “Heh, ordering another three bowls of rice and three plates of meat… adding to what he had before, that’s a total of five bowls of Celestial Essence Rice and six plates of Dragon Liver and Phoenix Gall… Isn’t he showing off? Let’s see how he’ll handle this!”

“Could it be that he’s temporarily storing it in his stomach, planning to vomit it out later?”

“Celestial Essence Rice is a highly concentrated form of compressed food essence. If not digested promptly after consumption, it’ll only coalesce, and only a surgical incision could retrieve it!”

At the same time, Ye Xingrui turned to Mo Shangjin beside him and inquired, “Your junior brother is quite interesting. How much do you think he can consume?”

Mo Shangjin felt helpless. He knew nothing about Zhang Yu, merely regarding him as a new member of their faction whom he’d brought along to meet people.

He hadn’t expected him to be so “high-profile” upon arrival, boasting on the spot and showcasing his appetite. However, as a member of the same faction, Mo Shangjin had no intention of undermining him, replying casually, “My junior brother possesses a unique physique, but this appetite is also the first time I’ve witnessed it!”

Subsequently, everyone watched Zhang Yu devour the food and meat like a whirlwind!

When Zhang Yu had consumed a total of three bowls of rice and one plate of meat, the surrounding crowd was already slightly astonished. And when Zhang Yu had consumed a total of four bowls of rice and two plates of meat, even Mo Shangjin, Ye Xingli, and Cang Lan Yu revealed surprise in their eyes, and several students began recording the scene with their ocular devices!

When Zhang Yu had consumed a full five bowls of rice and three plates of meat, he felt as if his body had transformed into a super-high-pressure cooker, and incredibly dense food essence was surging through his body!

His entire flesh seemed like fields inundated by a flood, unable to absorb this torrent of essence.

Zhang Yu could feel that this meal replenished his body more than a month’s worth of accumulation. Not only was his body’s deficit directly filled, but there was even a surplus coursing through him, to be slowly absorbed in the days to come!

Patting his stomach, Zhang Yu said with satisfaction, “That was comfortable. It’s been a while since I’ve eaten so full!”

At the same time, he felt slightly puzzled, “Although this Dragon Liver and Phoenix Gall tastes delicious, why doesn’t it feel special? Could it be that it’s being substituted with other meat?”

Fuji said, “The Dragon Liver and Phoenix Gall at a buffet are definitely farmed. They’re likely hastily grown meat dragons and meat phoenixes, lacking intelligence and cultivation. Eating them is just a massive boost of qi and blood, what special qualities would they have?”

Concurrently, Gongshu Jin, standing beside him, widened his eyes, the shock in his heart even greater than the last time he saw Zhang Yu’s performance in the gravity simulation chamber. “I’d reach my limit after just one bowl each of Celestial Essence Rice and Dragon Liver and Phoenix Gall!”

“Zhang Yu actually possesses such an appetite?”

“Could it be that he consumes large amounts of food every day and cultivates techniques to enhance digestion, or is it due to his physique?”

“Worthy of being my friend!”

Gongshu Jin knew that while training was important for digesting food, innate factors also played a significant role!

Some people were simply born with a greater appetite!

At this moment, Gongshu Jin realized that he seemed to know too little about Zhang Yu!

On the other side, Ye Xingli looked at Zhang Yu, admiration in her eyes, “Your appetite is the appetite of a wealthy person!”

“To have such an appetite as a freshman, your future ranking definitely won’t be low, and you’ll definitely become a wealthy person in the future!”

“Lao Mo, your Civil Engineering Department has truly produced a prodigy!”

Mo Shangjin smiled slightly beside her, “If not for the opportunity provided by Xingli, I wouldn’t have known that Junior Brother Zhang has such a vast appetite!”

Zhang Yu patted his belly and said, “Senior Mo is right. I usually don’t have the chance to eat so much. I have to thank Senior Sister Ye this time. I only hope that Senior Sister Ye will succeed in refining treasures every month from now on!”

Ye Xingli chuckled, “It’s just a little food. Add me as a friend, and I’ll invite you again when I host a banquet next time!”

Then she sighed, “But treasure refinement isn’t so easy. It’ll probably be one or two years before the next time!”

Zhang Yu mused inwardly, “As expected, even the scraps that these rich people casually drop are enough to fill a poor person like me!”

In the following hour, a delightful time was had by all, with mutual toasting. Zhang Yu also became an object of active approach for many students present. In addition to Mo Shangjin, Ye Xingli, and Cang Lan Yu, he also added many friends and was pulled into numerous groups!

Inside the 100-square-meter suite on the 450th floor!

Ji Yuan Shu’s gaze shifted, and he saw a notification from the Destiny Monitoring System pop up in his ocular device. Just now, a change had occurred in Destiny, and Zhang Yu’s chances of success had slightly increased!

Ji Yuan Shu checked where this slight change in Destiny originated and saw a student’s uploaded eating video!

The video had no plot or script, only Zhang Yu continuously eating food and meat. The viewership was excellent. Ji Yuan Shu understood that he probably wouldn’t have seen it if it hadn’t been notified by the Destiny Monitoring System!

“An astonishing appetite?”

“But in the end, it’s just a little bit more chance!”

On the way back, Zhang Yu felt the energy permeating his entire body. He felt that even if he continuously took medicine and worked overtime for three months, he probably wouldn’t need to rest!

“It’s time to go to the construction site to cultivate!”

Just as Zhang Yu was browsing the available projects, he hesitated for a moment!

“The Joyous Union University amusement park is indeed good, but the project doesn’t start until later!”

“The Joyous Union Amusement Park isn’t bad either, but it’s a bit far, and I’d miss the enhancement of Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan!”

“The Joyous Union University amusement park is also a good choice, but I’m afraid the local consumption is too high…”

Fuji couldn’t help but say, “You kid… all you think about is going to the amusement park, right? Don’t you think about why it’s listed as a high-risk project? Is it somewhere you can go?”

Zhang Yu mused inwardly, “Alas, it’s a pity I don’t have a Joyous Union Physique!”

After hesitating about the choice of project, Zhang Yu decided to ask his sister!

A moment later, Zhang Pianpian replied, “Go to the tenth level underground to build a tomb!”

Zhang Pianpian said, “The tomb is located in a spiritual vein node, containing a massive amount of spiritual energy. The concentration of spiritual energy is almost tangible, very suitable for you to absorb and refine spiritual energy, improve the quality of your mana, and nourish your physical body, strengthening your foundation.” When Zhang Yu saw the tomb project, he felt quite strange!

“Wanfa University City has such expensive land, and there’s still space to build a tomb?”

Faced with Zhang Yu’s question, Zhang Pianpian explained, “The tomb is for poor people. After all, only poor people lose ownership of their physical body after death!”

Zhang Pianpian: “These physical bodies are sent to the tomb to be used as corpses to absorb and refine spiritual energy.”

Zhang Pianpian: “Every moment in the University City, massive amounts of low-quality mana are being consumed. A large portion of this mana is produced by the cluster of corpses absorbing and refining spiritual energy in the tomb.”

Hearing this, a trace of understanding flashed through Zhang Yu’s mind. No wonder the selling price of low-quality mana was so cheap when he first went to the mana treasure platform!

It turned out that every moment, countless corpses were absorbing and refining spiritual energy and producing mana under control in the underground of the University City!

Zhang Yu asked again, “If poor people die, their physical bodies are sent to the tomb to become corpses, then the physical body of rich people are not sent to the tomb when they die?”

Zhang Pianpian: “Rich people have two deaths.”

Zhang Pianpian: “The first death is the death of the physical body, but as long as they have money, their souls can be transferred to the spirit world, and their physical bodies are still their own property and will not lose ownership. Naturally, they will not be sent to the tomb!”

Zhang Pianpian: “The second death is the death of the exhaustion of their wealth!”

Zhang Pianpian: “The longer the soul lasts, the higher the cost of maintaining it in the spirit world. When the money runs out, they truly die!”

Zhang Yu: “Then there will still be!”

But the next moment, Zhang Yu realized that when the bodies of the rich were sent to the tomb, the rich had become poor!

“So there are only corpses of poor people in the tomb.”

Zhang Yu shook his head with emotion. Finally, he checked the information of the tomb project and felt that this project was indeed very suitable for him!

Especially since he also had to cultivate the Breath Refinement Technique to collect the Qi Meridian Everflow set!

“Moreover, this way I can continue to stay in the University City and continue to nurture the Dao Seeds on Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan.”

There were still two weeks before the project officially started, and the timing was also very suitable!

After looking at the requirements of the tomb project, he found that the top ten students in the Foundation Establishment class were qualified to apply!

Zhang Yu thought about simply calling Yu Xinghan over together. Feeling the deep foundation, strong essence, and spirit in his body, Zhang Yu began to take life-shortening medicine to cultivate again in the next two weeks!

Only this time, taking the medicine was spent his own spiritual coins. As the Split Yuan Burst Blood Pill, Life-Eating Heaven-Seizing Powder, Hundred Tribulation Heart-Eating Gu, and Life-Damaging Heaven Opportunity Powder… were swallowed by Zhang Yu one by one, that familiar feeling surged into his heart again!

“Enough is enough. This is what cultivation is all about.” Plus other daily expenses, various services… his spiritual coins also decreased again, and soon dropped to below 7 spiritual coins!

On this day, as the 666th floor was completed, Zhang Yu came to the new construction site on the 667th floor of the University City. He sat cross-legged, and streams of white qi floated on his body, expanding and contracting with his breathing!

Just as he was cultivating the Breath Refinement Technique, there was also a stream of Formless Cloud Gang being released by him, crossing a distance of several meters, bringing up a spiral force and installing the steel reinforcement net in front of him!

Zhang Yu thought, “The efficiency is a bit slow, but if I use gang qi to work, I can focus more on cultivating the Breath Refinement Technique!”

And the following cultivation was mainly focused on cultivating the Breath Refinement Technique!

Days passed, and as Zhang Yu advanced the ‘Black Qi Outer Circulation Breath Refinement Technique’ to level 20, the day of the start of the tomb construction arrived!
