Gazing upon Night Star Glass’s reply, a flicker of surprise crossed Zhang Yu’s heart: “So it is! Night Star Glass is actually a disciple of the Magnetic Extreme True Monarch!”

“Then… she’s not merely my senior sister, is she?”

Following this realization, another doubt surfaced in Zhang Yu’s mind.

Zhang Yu: The Magnetic Extreme True Monarch mentioned me?

Night Star Glass: En, Esteemed Master said that while chatting with the Green Wood True Monarch today, the other party brought up a disciple of his.

Night Star Glass: Esteemed Master, upon hearing this, felt this disciple was quite outstanding, and thus inquired further of the Green Wood True Monarch.

Night Star Glass: Esteemed Master told me this disciple was named Zhang Yu.

Night Star Glass: As soon as I heard it was you, my heart thought, ‘I know him!’ and then I chatted with Esteemed Master about your affairs!

Zhang Yu knew the Green Wood True Monarch was a High Director, but as he looked at Night Star Glass’s reply, his face was a canvas of strange emotions! Especially when he imagined the High Director praising him before the Magnetic Extreme True Monarch, and the Magnetic Extreme True Monarch listening and questioning from the side!

“This Magnetic Extreme True Monarch fellow… his character is a bit wicked, isn’t he? Playing with our Civil Engineering Department’s High Director to his face?”

Yet, considering that he himself was also a pawn in the Magnetic Extreme True Monarch’s game with the High Director, a sense of betrayal immediately welled up in Zhang Yu’s heart!

“Do I… count as a traitor to the Civil Engineering Department?”

“Traitor or not, if the Magnetic Extreme True Monarch plays it this way, what if he doesn’t take responsibility after three years?”

Zhang Yu shook his head, pushing down the tangled thoughts in his heart! The workings of great figures’ minds were beyond his grasp. All he could do was constantly elevate himself, become more excellent, achieve higher grades, climb the rankings, and gain more initiative!

Thus, after exchanging a few sentences with Night Star Glass, Zhang Yu immediately sought her guidance on matters concerning the Refining Equipment courses! After all, according to the Magnetic Extreme True Monarch’s requirements, Zhang Yu had to complete all the first three years’ courses of the Refining Equipment Department and pass the assessments before the end of his third year!

Night Star Glass: You want to take some concurrent classes in the Refining Equipment Department?

Night Star Glass: That’s right, if you in Civil Engineering learn some materials classes, and courses on the maintenance and usage of Dharma Artifacts, it’s still quite beneficial!

Night Star Glass didn’t find this strange. After all, construction in Civil Engineering was inseparable from an understanding of various materials, and in the entire Myriad Laws University, the Refining Equipment Department was unmatched in its design, craftsmanship, and rational usage of various materials! As for the maintenance and usage of Dharma Artifacts, there was even less need to say. The Civil Engineering Department participated in various projects. At the beginning, they only wore down their physical bodies. After installing Dharma Artifacts, they would start wearing down their Dharma Artifacts! How to maintain Dharma Artifacts, how to select Dharma Artifacts, how to better use Dharma Artifacts – researching these aspects a bit could save quite a bit of money, and even more, elevate work efficiency! Among the middle and upper-year Civil Engineering students, many took courses in the Refining Equipment Department. Night Star Glass had already seen much of this!

However…

Night Star Glass: You’re only just about to enter your second year, aren’t you? Is it too early to take concurrent courses in other departments now?

Zhang Yu: Just getting an early understanding to prepare for the future!

Night Star Glass: That makes sense. Then I’ll send you the Refining Equipment Department’s schedule. You can check the specific materials yourself!

Looking at the schedule the other party sent, Zhang Yu immediately scanned it, but the more he looked, the more startled his heart became! Magical Treasure Engineering Drawing, Magical Treasure Principle, Magical Treasure Design, Foundation of Rune Engraving, Magical Treasure Dynamics, Spirit Energy Materials and Forming Technology, Magic Power Transmission and Conduction, Elementary Automation Artifact Spirit, True Fire Processing Technology!

Looking at that densely packed list of courses, Zhang Yu felt as if he had seen library after library appear before him!

“No! Are the Refining Equipment Department’s courses so much more numerous than ours in the Civil Engineering Department?”

“In the same semester, their class hours are almost three times that of the Civil Engineering Department, aren’t they?”

“And the various experimental classes, the Refining Equipment practical classes…”

“And this course arrangement!”

Zhang Yu voiced his doubt to Night Star Glass: Many courses I see are scheduled at the same time. How does this work?

Night Star Glass: The Refining Equipment Department’s courses are heavy, and there are many that can’t be arranged differently, so the class times aren’t specially staggered.

Night Star Glass: Either you find a way to attend multiple courses simultaneously, or you supplement with online classes afterwards.

Night Star Glass: However, you don’t need to learn so many. You won’t be able to learn them all. Just pick a few useful ones and learn them well!

Zhang Yu forced a bitter smile. *I have to learn all of them!* he thought. *Indeed, the Magnetic Extreme True Monarch’s requirements are not that simple! So many courses, if I wait until the third year to start learning, I probably won’t have enough time! Still good.*

Zhang Yu felt the Residual Ox Shelter Body Art and the Infinite Heart Inner Dharma Artifact operating within his mind. Gazing at the double-headed white ox raising its head and roaring, he secretly said: *Still good that I now cultivate the Infinite Heart Inner Dharma Artifact. I can already use my mind for two purposes! Next, I must push the Infinite Heart Inner Dharma Artifact to the 20th level! The things to learn in the Refining Equipment Department are so numerous. If I want to learn so many things without the ability to use my mind for multiple purposes, it’s fundamentally impossible to maintain my cultivation at the same time!*

Right, and the time acceleration in the Spirit Realm! Zhang Yu secretly thought: *Through the acceleration in the Spirit Realm, I can further elevate efficiency! But that also costs money! And learning the Refining Equipment Department’s courses also costs money!*

Zhang Yu was not a student of the Refining Equipment Department. According to the rules of Myriad Laws University, he could not casually attend the Refining Equipment Department’s courses unless he paid money! Online classes and textbooks required quite a bit of money. If he wanted to invite a teacher for guidance…

…it would cost even more money!

Zhang Yu let out a sigh, and once again sighed about having insufficient money to spend! And every time he sighed about insufficient money, he couldn’t help but think of one person, one wealthy man! Thus, Zhang Yu sent a message to Student Fields Yang: This former “big six,” now already promoted to “big seven” Student Fields, was precisely the person who initially cooperated with Zhang Yu to “pluck” Boss Wang together in the underground tomb!

Zhang Yu: Did you contact Boss Wang?

Zhang Yu: First-year end-of-term ranking picture file.

Zhang Yu: These are my freshly released grades. If you can contact Boss Wang, send them to him to see.

Zhang Yu: Ah, I miss him too much. These past few months, relying on myself to earn money, the more I use money and find it lacking, the more I miss the times I asked Boss Wang for money!

A moment later, Fields Yang replied, saying he couldn’t contact him.

Fields Yang: I miss him too.

Fields Yang: Send me all these kinds of good pictures you have later. If I can contact him, I’ll send them all to Boss Wang to see!

After casually chatting a few sentences with Fields Yang, Zhang Yu again swept a glance at the various messages sent by other people!

Li Snow: Senior Brother, you were too amazing this time! I sent your ranking to the Immortal Capital hometown group. At first, they didn’t believe it at all!

Li Xiao: Night Ling Xiao even asked me if it was a fake picture!

Li Xiao: You should have seen their incredulous expressions!

Zhang Yu secretly thought: *You little rascal from Immortal Capital are also sly! And you know I can’t see your Immortal Capital group chat, so you won’t send me a screenshot?*

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking about how to hint at Li Xiao to send him the Immortal Capital group chat record, Fu Ji suddenly said: “Night Ling Xiao can perhaps contact Boss Wang.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu’s heart stirred: *Fu Ji, you fellow, as soon as you enter the domain of deceit, your mind becomes sharp.* Zhang Yu knew that Night Ling Xiao, as the successor of the Night Clan in the first layer of Immortal Capital, and also initially designated as Boss Wang’s lackey during his time in the first layer, had just graduated from high school before Boss Wang’s “car flipped,” and entered university!

“It’s very possible that Night Ling Xiao went to Underworld University, and indeed it’s possible he can contact Boss Wang!”

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu immediately replied: Push Night Ling Xiao to me. I want to add him as a friend!

Seeing the information Li Xiao pushed, Zhang Yu’s gaze brightened, “Underworld University Biology Department, Foundation Class 3rd, Night Ling Xun!”

“Indeed, it’s Underworld University!” After adding the other party as a friend, Zhang Yu originally thought the other party wouldn’t accept immediately. Who knew not only did he accept immediately, but the other party even sent a message!

Night Ling Xiao: Zhang Yu, don’t contact me later.

Night Ling Xiao: If Boss Wang knows, I’m afraid he’ll misunderstand!

After sending these two messages, Night Ling Xiao decisively deleted Zhang Yu’s friend!

Underworld University! Recalling Zhang Yu’s grades this time, Night Ling Xiao suddenly covered his chest and groaned: “This damn thing, how can he learn so well!” At this moment, Night Ling Xiao only felt that his original good mood from taking third place at the end of the term was completely gone!

Seeing Night Ling Xiao so disregard his old hometown feelings, Zhang Yu could only temporarily let it go and looked at the messages sent by other people!

Lion Cloud Fly: Zhang Yu, if you were in Heavenly Demon University, you’d probably already be lined up and turned raw by the students of the Breeding Department!

Car Upon Fly: Feather Young, have you joined the competition team yet?

Zhao Heaven Walk: [Thumbs up emoji]

Looking at Zhao Heaven Walk’s expression, Zhang Yu knew that the other party was probably still working overtime and couldn’t send too much text content to him! Thus, he also sent a thumbs up in return, everything unspoken!

Soon, Zhang Yu saw messages within the competition team again!

Ma Xuan: Ji Wall Pivot… the grades are out, right?

Ma Xuan: Next, you should have to learn the first absolute of the Civil Engineering Seven Absolutes, the Profound Yellow Town Mountain Seal!

Ma Xuan: This technique is foundational, and it has an important promoting role not only for the Civil Engineering Seven Absolutes but also for other large-scale construction type Civil Engineering techniques!

Ma Xuan: If you can learn it, it will also be very helpful for the competition.

Ma Xuan: My experience in this area is quite rich. If you have any doubts, you can come and ask anytime!

Just as Ma Xuan was sending messages to the group, he saw that Cong Na had sent him a private chat! Ma Xuan clicked open the pop-up window within his eye-body, planning to see what Cong Na had sent him!

Cong Na: Don’t say anything.

Cong Na: Quickly, don’t say anything.

Cong Na: First-year end-of-term ranking picture file.

Cong Na: This is their class ranking. You can click it open and see for yourself!

Ma Xuan clicked it open and saw that Zhang Yu was actually ranked above Ji Wall Pivot!

Ma Xuan: Impossible. How could Zhang Yu possibly surpass Ji Wall Pivot?

Ma Xuan: Where did you get this screenshot?

Cong Na: Zhang Yu’s Moments sent it.

Ma Xuan remembered that Cong Na and Zhang Yu were friends!

Ma Xuan: Then if it was sent on Moments, it’s eighty percent true.

Ma Xuan: But I still don’t understand, how could Ji Wall Pivot lose to Zhang Yu?

Cong Na: You don’t need to care how he lost, he lost is he lost. It only explains that Zhang Yu’s strength is now above Ji Wall’s!

Cong Na: Now the problem is, do we want to replace Ji Wall Pivot with Zhang Yu or not!
