Zhang Yu felt a slight sigh in his heart as he looked at the message from Yan Qianji, realizing he had unknowingly reached this point.

As soon as Zhang Yu entered the group chat for the top 50 students in the entire school, he saw Jiu Tianliu, the number 1 in the Finance Department and number 2 in the school, speaking.

Jiu Tianliu: Shan Congning, rules are rules. You do it yourself.

Shan Congning: I’ll be back.

Immediately after, Zhang Yu saw Shan Congning, ranked 51st in the school, leave the group chat.

Then Jiu Tianliu sent another message: Everyone, a new member has joined. Let’s welcome Zhang Yu, ranked 13th in the Artifact Refining Department and 44th in the entire school [fireworks][fireworks][fireworks]

Watching this scene, Zhang Yu thought to himself, “This Jiu Tianliu… wasn’t he the one who represented the Finance Department in blacklisting me before? I wonder what his attitude towards me is now.”

As Jiu Tianliu made his move, in an instant, many people in the group chat sent messages, welcoming Zhang Yu’s arrival.

Among them, students from the Artifact Refining Department spoke the most.

Yan Qianji: Congratulations, Zhang Yu.

Ye Xingli: Junior brother, welcome to the group.

Bei Wufeng, ranked 2nd in the Artifact Refining Department, also spoke: A warm welcome [fist salute]

While many students from the Artifact Refining Department were speaking, there were also scattered messages from students in other departments.

Zhang Pianpian, ranked 26th in the school, also sent a congratulatory message.

Watching the messages refresh quickly before his eyes, Zhang Yu continuously replied and added the top students in the group as friends.

Looking at the academic elites from the Artifact Refining Department, Finance Department, Dao Arts Department, Talismans Department, and so on, Zhang Yu knew these were all very useful connections. Many of them might become his clients in the future, and many would also consider him a client.

Just as the group’s welcome for Zhang Yu was winding down, Dao Qiankun, ranked first in the school, spoke.

Dao Qiankun: Welcome.

These two simple words seemed to silence the group for a moment.

Immediately after, the focus of everyone in the entire group shifted to Dao Qiankun.

Jiu Tianliu: Dao-ge, you’ve come out of seclusion?

Dao Qiankun: Yes.

Yan Qianji: Dao-ge, there are new *fahai* on the market here. You can take a look.

Jiu Tianliu: Dao-ge, the company has launched a new batch of installment payment discounts for premium customers…

Xu Haixuan, ranked 1st in the Talismans Department: Dao-ge, the spirit realm protection service can be upgraded again.

Looking at the messages in the group, Zhang Yu felt as if these campus prodigies had all transformed into gold medal salespeople, surrounding Dao Qiankun and constantly promoting various products.

Zhang Yu couldn’t help but ask his sister, Zhang Pianpian, and Ye Xingli: How rich is Dao Qiankun exactly?

Ye Xingli: He’s not only ranked 1st academically in the entire school, but he’s also the richest student in the entire school.

Ye Xingli: You should know that the school’s high-level management has targeted training plans for students participating in the Top Ten Leagues next year.

Ye Xingli: Each student will have the most suitable method arranged to increase their income, based on their personality, specialties, abilities, background…

Ye Xingli: But for Dao Qiankun… the school’s arrangement for him is to have teachers guide him in secluded cultivation.

Ye Xingli: Because the high-level management believes he doesn’t need to learn how to make money anymore, at least not during the Foundation Establishment stage.

Zhang Yu: That rich?! [Oh my God]

Zhang Pianpian’s reply was even simpler.

Zhang Pianpian: Half of the spiritual veins beneath the university city belong to the Wanling Mana Production Group.

Zhang Pianpian: Dao Qiankun’s family behind him holds a large number of shares in the Wanling Group.

Zhang Yu immediately understood: “If spiritual veins are like oil in Kunxu, then isn’t this Dao Qiankun an oil prince?”

Looking at the many things people in the group were promoting, which Zhang Yu felt were expensive and not necessarily useful, he immediately understood their intentions.

“Damn… they’re all counting their sales performance on this rich benefactor.”

Zhang Yu: Dao-ge, if you need any magical artifact repairs, you can find me.

Bei Wufeng: Zhang Yu, what you said isn’t right. Why would Dao-ge need to repair magical artifacts? If his magical artifacts break, he just buys new ones.

Bei Wufeng: No matter how much a magical artifact is repaired, it can’t return to its peak factory state.

Bei Wufeng: To achieve the highest performance, you still need newly bought magical artifacts.

Immediately, others chimed in, mainly students from the Artifact Refining Department.

But just then, Dao Qiankun replied: Okay, Zhang Yu.

Looking at the message in the group, Dao Qiankun thought to himself: “These guys… all they think about is pitching to me and getting me to buy more things.”

As for magical artifacts only bought and not repaired… Dao Qiankun scoffed at this. Although he was rich, he wouldn’t waste spirit coins like that.

At most, he would switch to a completely new set of magical artifacts and *fahai* for each competition to maintain peak performance.

As for daily cultivation, Dao Qiankun would still repair his *fahai* and magical artifacts.

After reading the group messages for a while, Zhang Yu felt a slight fatigue in his eyes. Lately, his *yeyuan* often gave him this feeling.

Zhang Yu knew that his Shican Motong was getting increasingly old.

Especially since he was an Artifact Refining Department student but hadn’t learned much about *fahai* techniques, and even less about *yeyuan* manufacturing, his maintenance of the Shican Motong was very basic, leading to more severe wear and tear from daily use.

“Now that I know so many artifact refining elites, I can find someone to replace my *yeyuan*.”

As for learning from scratch and refining one himself… although Zhang Yu was confident he could do it, his time was too tight. To gain strength within half a year and reach the level of climbing to the top of the Top Ten Leagues, he couldn’t personally handle every minute detail.

“Who should I ask?”

Zhang Yu simply asked Ye Xingli.

Ye Xingli: In our Artifact Refining Department, Yan Qianji is good at puppets, Bei Wufeng excels at flying sword refining, and as for *yeyuan*…

Ye Xingli: I’m pretty good at refining *fahai*-type artifacts. If you don’t have too many requirements for big brands and spirit realm services, I can refine a pair of *yeyuan* for you.

Mid-sentence, Ye Xingli frowned slightly as she looked at the Poor Person Simulator before her.

Poor Person Simulator: The user and her junior brother are having a pleasant conversation, increasingly resembling the senior sister-junior brother relationship in ancient martial arts sects. This phenomenon is very interesting. Ancient martial arts sects established emotional connections through inefficient methods like emotional investment and bartering to jointly resist various random risks of ancient times.

Poor Person Simulator: Considering that the user has extensive knowledge of various magical artifacts and supplies needed by poor people, it is speculated that she might want to assist her junior brother.

Poor Person Simulator: I have thought of several response directions: one is to directly give the *yeyuan* as a gift to the other party. The second is to sell it to the other party at cost price…

Ye Xingli couldn’t read any further. “What gibberish is this? How can you make *fahai* without profit?”

Referring to the guidance of Ciji Zhenjun, Ye Xingli could follow the method guided by the Poor Person Simulator to improve her relationship with Zhang Yu more efficiently.

But making *fahai* without making a profit? This violated her fundamental principles, so it was absolutely not acceptable.

So, Ye Xingli directly ignored the Poor Person Simulator and replied: I’ll charge you a 10% profit. You pick one.

Zhang Yu’s eyes moved. Ye Xingli had already sent him a list of *yeyuan* she could make.

“Compared to big brands, it’s indeed much cheaper, but the performance is similar.”

Zhang Yu’s gaze swept over the various *yeyuan*.

“Tai Xu Eye, with a built-in motion simulation system, capable of predicting the trend of material changes…”

“Xuan Ci Xing Xie Mu, possesses a *yuan* magnetic fluid module, capable of releasing *yuan* magnetic divine thunder to temporarily paralyze *fahai*. However, if it’s a military-grade *fahai*, most have protective devices, so the effect of this *yuan* magnetic divine thunder is limited.”

“Jiu You Yaotong, equipped with the Wangchuan River system and soul body sensing module, can perceive and track soul cultivators, temporarily freezing their thoughts.”

Zhang Yu looked around and finally focused on the Jiu You Yaotong: “It also has a salvation function, allowing direct viewing and tracking of soul cultivator companies, then filing complaints and reports.”

He nodded slightly, feeling that this Jiu You Yaotong would be very useful for him at present.

As Zhang Yu’s artifact refining skill continuously improved and he acquired more magical artifacts, especially after mastering the military-grade Tianri Huangshen, his requirements for spirit realm safety also grew.

After all, for powerful artifact refiners, they would eventually move towards large-scale magical artifact construction, and even large-scale magical artifact combat.

As the number and scale of magical artifacts increased, if the protection against spirit realm attacks didn’t keep up and they were easily hijacked, it would be equivalent to handing over the magical artifacts to others.

Among the many spirit realm attacks, soul cultivator attacks were the most basic, and this Jiu You Yaotong could just make up for Zhang Yu’s shortcomings in this area.

Zhang Yu: I’ll take this Jiu You Yaotong.

Ye Xingli: 21 spirit coins, delivery in three days.

After confirming the order with Ye Xingli, Zhang Yu checked the group messages of the top 50 students in the school again, looking at the congratulatory messages from many classmates and friends.

Then Zhang Yu started browsing other group chats.

He was not going around to show off his dual military certificates and his achievement of being ranked in the top 50 in the school. He was doing it to further build his reputation and promote his business.

In the Civil Engineering class group.

Zhang Yu, ranked 44th in Wanfa University: Everyone, I’ve made some progress in artifact refining. If you have any artifact refining needs, you can find me.

Yu Xinghan: CEO Zhang has just won the Military Artifact Refining Engineering Certificate, becoming a holder of dual military certificates in civil engineering and artifact refining.

Ying Xin: CEO Zhang is so busy, yet he’s willing to offer services to everyone. You all must seize this opportunity.

Gongshu Jin: CEO Zhang, in the future, if my whole body *fahai* gets damaged, I’ll come to you for repairs.

Seeing the enthusiastic response in the group, Zhang Yu smiled slightly and then looked at the Songyang Hometown Group.

Zhang Yu, ranked 44th in Wanfa University: [Military Certificate] Finally passed another military certificate exam.

Le Jingchen: Dual military certificates? [shocked]

Lan Ling: Welcome, Wanfa Artifact Refining Master!

Lan Ling: My Songyang High School has produced a great talent!

Qian Shen: If you’re ranked 44th in your senior year, there’s a very high chance you’ll be in the top 10 of the whole school in a few more years.

Chu Qiuriver: Zhang Yu, do you remember? In our first year of high school, you and I competed for rankings in the martial arts competition.

Zhang Yu: Haha, I remember you were beaten and lay on a stretcher until the end of the competition.

After chatting with his hometown friends for a few sentences, Zhang Yu then said: If anyone needs artifact refining in the future, you can find me.

Hu Yuntao: I’ve used magical artifacts refined by CEO Zhang. The quality is excellent. Recommended.

Zhao Tianxing: Recommended.

Mo Tianyi: Recommended.

Lian Tianji: Zhang Yu, can you refine *yīnqì*?

Looking at Lian Tianji’s question, Zhang Yu didn’t expect that the first order after receiving his Military Artifact Refining Engineering Certificate would require him to say he couldn’t do it.
