“We understand you have an outstanding debt with interest due next month. We have an installment plan with discounted handling fees…”

Bai Zhenzhen hung up the phone, the thought of the over 20,000 spirit stones in interest she had to pay next month, and the less than 10,000 spirit stones in her bank account, made her unable to rest easy.

“Alas… passing the first round of the Foundation Establishment exam was great.”

“But I’ve used up all my money.”

The pressure of repaying debt, the intensity of the exams, the uncertain future… all of this immediately diluted Bai Zhenzhen’s joy from passing the first round of the Foundation Establishment exam and learning the Myriad Swords End-Without-End Art for free.

Although tutoring income barely allowed her to cover loan repayments while maintaining the most basic cultivation needs.

But thinking of her opponents in the Foundation Establishment exam, Bai Zhenzhen strongly felt that basic cultivation… was far from enough.

“If I want to continue advancing rapidly, I have to spend money! Spend money! Spend even more money!”

“How can I earn a fortune after I return?”

After pondering for a moment, Bai Zhenzhen shared her worries with Zhang Yu.

Then, a ruthless look suddenly appeared on Bai Zhenzhen’s face as she said, “Yu, why don’t we just formally join the Dark Learning Sect and participate in gang conflicts to earn money!”

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen’s strength had reached the level of a high school senior, reaching the late stage of Qi Refining. With the addition of a True Spirit Root and several level 10 cultivation techniques derived, as well as the Myriad Swords End-Without-End Art, her words carried an air of killing intent.

Zhang Yu frowned and said, “Participate in gang conflicts… formally join a gang?”

He worried, “Will we have to kill people?”

Bai Zhenzhen nodded, equally worried, “Killing people is indeed…”

“Alas,” Bai Zhenzhen sighed, “Although the Dark Learning Sect provides guarantees, what if the compensation after killing someone… ends up being more than what we earn?”

*Are you worried about that?*

Zhang Yu looked at Bai Zhenzhen helplessly. Even after living here for almost a year, he sometimes couldn’t keep up with the thinking of these Kunxu locals.

Bai Zhenzhen continued, “Or… I could participate in cultivation technique modification, or sell what we learned this time.”

“This kind of top-tier goods should sell for a lot of money, right?”

Thinking of this, Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes lit up.

Zhang Yu understood that Bai Zhenzhen wanted to sell pirated versions of the Myriad Swords End-Without-End Art she had learned.

Zhang Yu helplessly said, “You’re becoming more and more criminal, more and more dangerous! If you get caught selling such a precious cultivation technique, you’re finished.”

Bai Zhenzhen took it for granted, “Can poor people like us earn a fortune doing safe work? Does safe and profitable work even come our way?”

“If we hadn’t learned something good this time, we wouldn’t even be able to do this!”

Zhang Yu sighed helplessly again and said, “Let me think about it.”

He originally thought that after becoming stronger, he could earn more money through tutoring.

But after witnessing the strength of the Immortal Capital elites this time, Zhang Yu increasingly felt that money was still not enough.

So, regarding the next arrangement, Zhang Yu wanted to consult someone.

A moment later, taking advantage of Bai Zhenzhen’s trip to the washroom, Fooky was awakened by Zhang Yu.

“Ugh…” After a groan, Fooky lazily said, “How was it? Did you pass the first round of the Foundation Establishment exam?”

Zhang Yu nodded and described the general situation.

Fooky’s heart was filled with joy upon hearing this. As an evil deity with extensive scamming experience, she immediately sensed the other party’s worries about the upcoming Foundation Establishment exam from Zhang Yu’s words.

Fooky thought to herself, “This kid won’t be able to resist for long. He will definitely hunt my colleague to further enhance his potential.”

Fooky understood this very well, after all, she could feel the power of those Immortal Capital students just from Zhang Yu’s description.

Especially the Number 23 and Number 11 that Zhang Yu mentioned, their strength was far ahead.

And when she heard Zhang Yu’s thoughts on earning money, Fooky directly said, “Delving deep into the dark tutoring world is indeed a good path.”

“It’s just that modifying cultivation techniques and deriving cultivation techniques is too deep. Your current strength can’t handle it.”

Zhang Yu: “Then what about becoming a Gold-Rank Instructor in the Dark Learning Sect? With our current level… how much can we earn?”

Fooky said, “To become a Gold-Rank Instructor in the Dark Learning Sect, you also have to face gang conflicts.”

“For example, teachers from opposing sects come to challenge you, local gangs target you for attacks, or company security teams chase you…”

“After becoming a Gold-Rank Instructor in the Dark Learning Sect, the more you earn and the bigger your reputation, the more terrifying the attacks you will encounter, and the stronger your strength needs to be.”

Again, lacking strength! Zhang Yu discovered that it seemed to have circled back to the same problem.

Just then, Fooky said, “Actually, with your own terrifying potential, if you are further enhanced, in my opinion, even if you don’t earn a fortune, it will be enough to pass the Foundation Establishment exam.”

“Rather than being deeply involved in gang conflicts with insufficient strength.”

“It’s better to enhance your own potential.”

Zhang Yu knew that the other party was talking about hunting evil deities to enhance his potential again.

And this time, Zhang Yu did not object, but asked a question, “To hunt your colleague, I need to know his information. What are you planning to do?”

Fooky’s heart was filled with joy, and she immediately stated her plan, “The Shadow Gu that the other party planted last time has been completely absorbed by me.”

“The instruction that the other party preset in the Shadow Gu was to transmit a message when you log into the Dao Inquiry Hall.”

“As long as we follow Yu Xinghan and log into the Spirit Realm Dao Inquiry Hall once again like last time, I can transmit false information to the other party.”

“Through false information, we can invite him into a trap, lure him out, and figure out his identity and strength.”

“Then find an opportunity to track down his information in reverse, and find an opportunity to suppress him fiercely…”

Zhang Yu said, “That brings me back to my previous question.”

“Even with Yu Xinghan’s connections, logging in costs 100,000 spirit stones.”

“Where am I going to get that much money?”

“Then I still have to work to save money first…”

Fooky, however, had already prepared an answer, “You have to cultivate and work. When will you save enough money? There are only two months left until the next round of exams.”

“I thought of a way for you to earn some pocket money.”

Zhang Yu curiously asked, “What way?”

Fooky mysteriously smiled and said, “You have a unique aspect that can be sold for a good price.”

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned. After thinking for a moment, his face stiffened, and he lowered his voice and said, “Are you… going to castrate me and sell that thing?”

At that moment, Zhang Yu found that the first thought in his mind was actually: *How much can that thing sell for?*

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, “*Damn it, Zhang Yu! You are a damn fool! How have you become like this! Willing to sell your own flesh for a little bit of stinky money! Where is your sense of shame? Where is your noble Earthling soul?*”

“*Alas, few Earthlings who come here can avoid going crazy. This is just an expedient measure for me to climb the Immortal Path.*”

Just when Zhang Yu was secretly feeling ashamed of his thoughts, he heard Fooky say speechlessly, “Are you sick? Why would I let you sell that?”

Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but thought that this evil deity’s refutation seemed to have even higher moral standards than his own, and his sense of shame rose even higher.

Fooky said, “That’s a production tool! It’s a hen that lays golden eggs! How can you just dig it out and sell it?”

*Damn it…* Zhang Yu realized that he had overestimated the evil deity’s quality. He frowned and said, “You… you want me to… to sell…”

“Sell my body?”

“Can that earn more than tutoring?”

Fooky was even more speechless and said, “How can that kind of unskilled work possibly earn more than tutoring?”

She said in exasperation, “I want you to sell your essence, to make some protein and sell it.”

“Ah?” Zhang Yu was shocked, “That can sell for money?”

Fooky said, “Of course, it depends on whose protein it is and who you sell it to.”

“At least with your current performance, selling it to Red Pagoda Animal Husbandry for some pocket money shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Because your progress has shown a potential and talent.”

“They will be interested in your bloodline and genes.”

“And don’t you have an acquaintance at Red Pagoda High School? Have him help you get a connection.”

Fooky chuckled and said, “As for whether Red Pagoda Animal Husbandry can get anything from your protein, that’s obviously impossible.”

“Your strength comes from the potential I have stimulated, and that has nothing to do with your bloodline, genes, or anything like that.”

Preservation area.

Inside the incubation room of the breeding base.

Xiong Wenwu, who was cultivating, felt his phone vibrate. He opened it and saw the message sent by Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu: I want to sell my…

Zhang Yu looked at the message sent by Xiong Wenwu.

Xiong Wenwu: Haven’t you been sterilized?

Zhang Yu: I had a restoration surgery.

Xiong Wenwu: Oh.

Xiong Wenwu: I don’t accept.

Zhang Yu angrily said to Fooky, “Look, they don’t accept it at all!”

Fooky said, “Why are you in such a hurry? This is a gray area in Red Pagoda. Talk to him as I told you.”

So Zhang Yu sent another message to Xiong Wenwu.

Zhang Yu: I mean, can you help me get a connection to see if Red Pagoda Animal Husbandry accepts it?

Zhang Yu: I’ll send you the various body data measured during my last monthly exam.

Zhang Yu: Absolutely excellent male high school student. Can you ask your company if they are interested?

After a long while, Xiong Wenwu replied with a message.

Xiong Wenwu: Tomorrow at eight o’clock, Red Pagoda Building, 32nd floor, downtown. Go find Manager Xiong Haohan, and he will talk to you.

Zhang Yu: Thank you!! When I sell more and earn money, I will definitely thank you.

Bai Zhenzhen, who had returned to her seat, looked at Zhang Yu’s happy expression and asked in confusion, “Yu, did you win the lottery?”

Zhang Yu chuckled and said, “A-Zhen, do you know what’s different between me and you?”

Bai Zhenzhen asked in confusion, “Huh?”

Zhang Yu said smugly, “I have a production tool, and you don’t.”

After hearing Zhang Yu’s explanation, Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu with jealousy and said, “Your damn root is actually useful.”

Early the next morning, Zhang Yu came to the 32nd floor of the Red Pagoda Building. After expressing his intentions at the front desk, he was arranged to wait in a small meeting room.
