“Number 686, Zhang Yu.”

As the number was called, Zhang Yu stood up and walked towards the interview classroom.

Although his grades met the enrollment requirements of Myriad Dharma University and he had already signed the enrollment agreement beforehand, the interview process was still unavoidable.

When Zhang Yu entered the interview classroom, he smiled casually at the three examiners and said, “Greetings, I am Zhang Yu from Songyang Senior Immortal Dao High School in Songyang City, First Layer.”

The chief examiner looked at him and asked, “Why do you want to apply to Myriad Dharma University?”

Zhang Yu said indifferently, “Because Myriad Dharma University is one of the best universities. I want to break through the Golden Core stage, I want to break through the Nascent Soul stage, and I want to enter a sect, so naturally I have to choose the best university!”

The three interviewers smiled slightly. One of them asked, “How do you manage your study and rest time?”

Zhang Yu said calmly, “I don’t rest!”

Another examiner asked, “How much of the university curriculum have you completed so far?”

Zhang Yu said, “As you can see, I am already a Foundation Establishment cultivator. All the common courses of the Qi Refining stage have been completed!”

“I also taught myself the Earth and Wood Department’s ‘Excavation Palm,’ ‘Crane Claw,’ ‘Race Car Leg,’ and ‘Elevator Ascend,’ and all of them have reached level 10!”

The examiners looked at the information in his resume, their gazes toward Zhang Yu becoming increasingly satisfied!

The chief examiner opened his mouth and said, “Student Zhang Yu, as far as I know, you have not undergone sterilization! What do you think about sterilization in university? Do you think it is necessary for university students to undergo sterilization?”

Zhang Yu said calmly, “Sterilization is the evasion of the weak!”

“For me, mere physical hormones can be suppressed by willpower!”

“These things are not obstacles on my Immortal Dao path. Instead, they are a tool of production that can be transformed into assistance for my cultivation!”

“There is transaction proof in my resume that I sell seeds in the First Layer. Such high-frequency and high-quality transaction data, I think, is enough to prove the firmness of my Dao heart!”

The three interviewers looked at each other, their eyes showing admiration!

Finally, they all stood up and extended their palms towards Zhang Yu: “Student Zhang Yu, welcome to Myriad Dharma University!”

As soon as Zhang Yu walked out of the interview classroom, he saw Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan, who had already completed their interviews!

Yu Xinghan said, “Let’s go, Zhang Yu, let’s register. Next, we have to choose a dormitory!”

Just then, a female voice came, “Zhang Yu, long time no see!”

The three of Zhang Yu turned their heads at the same time and saw Zhang Pianpian walking slowly!

Two years had passed, and Zhang Pianpian was still graceful and charming, with even more heroic spirit than before!

Her appearance had not changed much, except that her eyes had turned amber, obviously some kind of ocular Dharma artifact!

And the mark on her head, “49th in the Foundation Establishment Realm of the Rune Department of Myriad Dharma University,” and the halo behind her head, attracted the attention of many people around her, instantly becoming the focus of everyone!

Zhang Yu was about to blurt out “Sister,” but suddenly realized it and finally called out, “Senior Sister, you’re here!”

Zhang Pianpian smiled slightly and said, “You’ve grown taller!”

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to register first, and then treat you to a meal!”

So, under the leadership of Zhang Pianpian, the three of Zhang Yu registered, enrolled, and paid tuition fees together!

Although they had brought enough tuition fees, during the process of paying the fees, the three of Zhang Yu, encouraged by Zhang Pianpian, actively applied for a student loan and shouldered their first loan after coming to the Second Layer!

The first year’s tuition is 0.5 spirit coins. Starting from the second year, interest will be paid, 0.005 spirit coins per month, until the university graduates, when the 0.5 spirit coins will be repaid in one go!

Zhang Pianpian said, “Don’t be afraid. Since you have come to the Second Layer, how can you progress without fully releasing your Immortal Dao potential?”

“Instead of paying the 0.5 spirit coins for tuition now, it’s better to use them on your own studies!”

Looking at Zhang Pianpian’s name on the recommendation form, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but say, “Sister!! Senior Sister, are we considered your performance now?”

Zhang Pianpian said, “Anyway, you have to do it. I might as well help you!”

“Let’s go, let’s choose a dormitory!”

When Zhang Yu was moving around Myriad Dharma University City earlier, he could feel a characteristic of this place!

Because the entire university city is concentrated in a three-kilometer-wide and no more than ten-kilometer-high three-dimensional building! So, the internal space utilization rate of the entire university city is extremely high!

Or rather… the space is very cramped!

And seeing their next dormitory made Zhang Yu even more certain of this idea!

“Lower dormitory, 20 people in a room, a room of 20 square meters, with 2 toilets and 6 shower rooms shared on each floor!”

Zhang Yu said speechlessly, “This is freaking!!! Chicken farms are more spacious than this!”

Yu Xinghan said from the side, “Upper dormitory luxury suite, 15 square meters, 1 living room, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom!”

Zhang Yu frowned and said, “You have the nerve to call 15 square meters a luxury suite? And a monthly rent of 1 spirit coin, so expensive?”

Zhang Yu currently has a total of 9.94 spirit coins, including the 5 spirit coins given by Bai Zhenzhen, which is only enough to rent for nine months!

Hearing Zhang Yu’s words, the middle-aged woman handling the dormitory affairs snorted coldly, glanced at him askance, and said, “You came from below, right? The Second Layer is worth every inch of land. Can it compare to your rural places below?”

“If you want to rent, hurry up. So many people are still waiting!”

Yu Xinghan said, “Why don’t we share a room?”

Le Mulan nodded in agreement from the side: “If three people split it…”

Zhang Pianpian said, “Let’s split it four ways!”

She smiled slightly and said, “If we four split the rent, we can save a lot of money!”

“But we don’t need an upper dormitory luxury suite that’s so expensive… Let’s rent a five-square-meter middle dormitory!”

Zhang Pianpian pointed to the price and said, “0.2 spirit coins a month. If we four split it, that’s 0.05 spirit coins per person per month!”

Zhang Pianpian thought to herself, “Compared to my current classmates, Zhang Yu and the others are more trustworthy. Living together can save me some effort!”

Zhang Yu looked at his sister, thinking, “Sister has already climbed to 49th place in the Rune Department. Is her financial situation still so tight?”

Fu Ji said, “Land is incredibly expensive on the Second Layer. No matter how capable you are, you have to learn to save on rent! Rather than spend more money on a better house, it’s better to invest more money in your studies!”

Zhang Yu sighed softly upon hearing this, looking at the conditions of the middle dormitory and said, “Can four people live in five square meters?”

Zhang Pianpian said, “Although it’s only five square meters, it’s four meters high and can be divided into two floors!”

“Mainly, the dormitory has an extra supply of spiritual energy, which can facilitate meditation and breathing exercises!”

“Besides that, it’s just used for storing things, at most taking a shower and charging. How much bigger do you need it to be? It’s enough for the four of us!”

“And although the space of the house is small, people can shrink and actively adapt!”

Seeing that Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan both agreed, Zhang Yu also nodded. The four of them rented an ordinary middle dormitory together!

Myriad Dharma University City, 125th floor, dormitory area!

The entire 125th floor is only four meters high. Rows of middle dormitory rooms are arranged on both sides of the corridor like coffins!

Zhang Yu looked at the arrows and walking routes floating in the air, which were the route navigation projected by the ocular Dharma artifact!

After a moment, as Zhang Yu opened the door, a small five-square-meter dormitory appeared in front of everyone!

Le Mulan couldn’t help but say, “It’s really small!”

This was the first time in her life she had lived in such a small room!

Zhang Pianpian said, “The door is too narrow. Only one person can enter and exit at a time. You take turns going in to put your luggage away first, and then I’ll take you to eat!”

“After dinner, you should have to attend your first class meeting tonight, right?”

“Oh, remember to shrink your body when entering the dormitory. This is considered an essential money-saving skill in the university city!”

When Zhang Yu carried his luggage into the dormitory, he tried his best to contract his muscles and bone joints, turning into a skinny figure about 1.7 meters tall!

Although this made it easier to move around in the room, the entire dormitory still seemed very small to him, and shrinking his body gave him a feeling of always hunching over and being confined!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “No wonder I always felt that the people in the university city weren’t very tall. It seems that the people here have gotten used to shrinking their bodies, which is completely different from the cultivators on the First Layer, who all show off their tall stature!”

The three of them packed their luggage, and then, led by Zhang Pianpian, came to a pharmacy on the 128th floor! It was said to be eating, but it was actually taking medicine!

Yu Xinghan looked at the few pills in his hand and couldn’t help but say, “I’d better make some of the synthetic food I brought.” Seeing Yu Xinghan and Zhang Yu start preparing synthetic food, Zhang Pianpian said indifferently, “The synthetic food you brought will run out sooner or later. You still need to get used to eating the food on the Second Layer sooner rather than later!”

Although it’s not tasty, the various nutritional elements in the medicine are very sufficient, and the time spent eating is very short!

“The only two problems with taking medicine are that it’s difficult to solve the feeling of fullness, and the excessively strong digestive abilities of cultivators. If you don’t eat for a long time, it will damage your gastrointestinal tract.”

As she spoke, Zhang Pianpian had already taken out a piece of cement: “So, people here generally eat some cement with their medicine!”

Even Zhang Yu, who had seen the world on Kunxu’s First Layer, was somewhat shocked to see Zhang Pianpian swallowing a small piece of cement!

Zhang Yu: “Eating cement? Isn’t there anything else to eat?”

Zhang Pianpian smiled and said, “Cement is cheap. In this Myriad Dharma University City, cement is everywhere. You can just knock off a piece to temporarily fill your stomach, which is both filling and can suppress the digestive juices in your stomach, so as not to damage your stomach!”

“So, the catering market on the Second Layer was not simply crowded out by pharmaceutical companies, but was crowded out by pharmaceutical companies and earth and water companies together!”

“Especially after earth and wood companies launched edible cement, you can eat enough nutrients and fill your stomach by eating medicine with cement, and the catering industry is even more completely destroyed!”

Hearing this information, Zhang Yu was still a little unbelievable. Damn, the earth and wood majors can also rise in the catering industry! Zhang Pianpian continued to remind, “Also, remember not to dig cement under surveillance, or you will be fined!”

“Oh… you two are both from the Earth and Wood Department. If you go to the construction site in the future, you can get free food and directly use the construction site’s water to fill your stomach!”

Yu Xinghan couldn’t help but ask, “Can we grow something ourselves?”

Zhang Pianpian glanced at him and said, “I don’t object to you joining a gang or two in the future university, but the Dark Gardening world!! It’s too dangerous!”

“You may not understand, but in this university city, privately planting any plants is a serious violation of school rules and a violation of the law, which is enough to be expelled!”

“Planting is something that only universities and companies can do.” After finishing dinner, Zhang Yu and Le Mulan said goodbye to Zhang Pianpian, and then joined Yu Xinghan to attend the first class meeting of the Earth and Wood Department’s basic class!

Arriving at the teaching area on the 130th floor, as soon as the two walked into the agreed classroom, they felt several gazes sweep over!

“You two, show your college entrance examination scores and basic data. We are ranking the class to see what place you can rank in this class!”
