Chapter 150: #150 - Gradually turning into a ghost

Zhang Yu was quite wary of borrowing money when he first came to Kunxu.

This was partly due to the influence of the original owner's experiences and memories, and partly due to Zhang Yu's own caution towards borrowing from his previous life.

However, after more than half a year of living in Kunxu and seeing many people borrowing money, his mindset has gradually changed.

“Taking medicine to refine the body, borrowing money to earn…” Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, “I am becoming more and more assimilated into Kunxu, more and more like a local.”

But Zhang Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. People ultimately have to adapt to their environment. If you want to climb up in Kunxu, you must adapt to Kunxu's rules.

Refining the body requires taking medicine! Cultivating immortality requires borrowing money!

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yu had borrowed money from multiple platforms one after another.

Now, Zhang Yu repays his loans on time every month, his bank statements show a surge in activity, and his grades have improved greatly. The amount he can borrow has increased by another 1 million, piecemeal across various platforms.

So, in the blink of an eye, 1 million yuan was credited to Zhang Yu's account.

“Counting the original 15,000 per month, the interest to be paid each month is 40,000, and by the time I'm in the third year of high school, I will have to pay off all the million principal from various platforms.”

“Adding the interest-free loan of 5,000 yuan, the total monthly repayment is 45,000 yuan.”

Looking at the cold balance of over million in his account, Zhang Yu slowly exhaled, feeling both a heavy pressure on his shoulders and a surge of motivation to go back and make a big splash.

Bai Zhenzhen, who had previously borrowed less than Zhang Yu, was now in full swing and borrowed another 900,000 yuan in one go. She also had a look of determination on her face, waiting to return and integrate the 900,000 yuan into her flesh and blood to boost her cultivation.

More than ten hours later, the two transferred from one vehicle to another and finally returned to Songyang City, beginning another round of charge on the path of immortality.

And time passed quickly with the two people's charge.

……

Inside the apartment.

Zhang Yu took off the weighted clothing he usually wore for training and took out the newly bought 'training skin'.

This training skin, made with some kind of immortal technique, looked like a thin layer of human skin and felt almost like real human skin to the touch.

Seeing its lifelike appearance, Zhang Yu said, “Could this really be made from the skin of some expert?”

With Zhang Yu's understanding of Kunxu, this was not impossible.

Fu Ji scoffed at this, “With the little money you spent, you still want to buy real skin?”

“This is obviously synthetic skin, which can't achieve 100% fit. At most, it's 99%.”

As Zhang Yu put it on, he felt the training skin naturally adhere to his body, as if it had become a new layer of skin.

At the same time, this new skin brought a strong sense of restraint to his body, forcing him to constantly exert force to resist it, as if he was constantly exercising the muscles all over his body.

He couldn't feel any lack of fit, only that it was much better than his original weighted clothing.

A moment later, Zhang Yu opened his phone, opened the management software for the training skin, and chose to turn it off.

The sense of restraint all over his body suddenly disappeared, making Zhang Yu unable to even feel the existence of the training skin.

“Breathable, sweat-wicking, and doesn't affect breathing exercises.”

“It's worthy of being a 100,000 yuan training skin. This way, I can have an extra layer of exercise at all times.”

“I can also turn it off at any time when I don't need it.”

……

Protected area.

Inside the incubation room.

The little panda An An was hugging its big tail, watching Bai Zhenzhen who was practicing breathing exercises, thinking to herself that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had been coming at least twice as often these days.

“I wonder if the time they spend tutoring Wenwu has also doubled?”

Although An An felt a pang of heartache for the company's assets being lost when she saw the other party蹭着红塔的灵机, she tried to control herself from showing it.

After all, for her, who hadn't even finished elementary school, high school students were already the pride of heaven.

And when facing competition players from key high schools like Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, especially after learning about their grades, An An felt a sense of inferiority and shame every time she stood in front of them.

Because she deeply understood that compared to Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu, she was purely illiterate.

Especially Bai Zhenzhen's cold and aloof appearance every time made An An feel that the other party must look down on her.

However, when Bai Zhenzhen left this time, An An quickly waved her short limbs and jumped in front of Bai Zhenzhen: "This is for you."

Bai Zhenzhen looked at the monster meat with a bow tied on it and asked curiously, "For me?"

An An said, "Thank you for tutoring Xiong Wenwu."

Looking at An An's slightly nervous gaze, Bai Zhenzhen accepted the monster meat and said, "You guys often have leftover monster meat that you can't sell, right?"

“Why don't you sell it to me privately for a cheaper price? I'm planning to buy more monster meat for dietary supplements recently.”

An An said anxiously, "You want me to betray the company's interests again?"

Bai Zhenzhen smiled and rubbed An An's ears, saying, "You don't want Xiong Wenwu's grades to decline, do you? Sell it to me cheaper."

“If you don't feel at ease using the money you earn, you can subsidize Xiong Wenwu.”

An An sighed inwardly, feeling that she had gradually transformed from the best employee into a company mole, and she felt ashamed of her 2,000 yuan salary.

……

Inside the apartment.

As Zhang Yu turned on the newly bought searchlights one by one, the entire room gradually changed from its original brightness to a white color, and in the end, it was almost so bright that nothing could be seen, and even Zhang Yu's figure was completely swallowed up.

Zhang Yu felt the crazy passive operation of the Great Sun Qi Sea, and felt the Great Sun mana in his body rolling violently like magma. He began to cultivate the Scarlet Marrow Primal Qi in this environment.

……

Late June.

Inside the apartment.

In the cardboard box placed in the corner of the room were all kinds of potions that Le Mulan had brought to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

Le Mulan casually threw her tattered clothes into the trash can next to her.

Because her sweating was particularly heavy today, her skin had become a little dry.

While changing her clothes, she said, "Your strength has increased a lot recently."

Zhang Yu smiled: "I have to thank you for the medicine. I feel particularly energetic every time I use it."

Le Mulan glanced slightly, watching Zhang Yu staring at the potion on the ground, and reminded, "The bone and muscle enhancer is best taken orally."

Zhang Yu was still unable to do such a thing. He suddenly stood up, seized the time to absorb the potion, and practiced the Scarlet Marrow Primal Qi.

A look of surprise flashed in Le Mulan's eyes. When she walked out of the room, she couldn't help but say, "Next time you want me to apply any medicine before I come, you can tell me in advance."

After returning to Ziyun High School, Le Mulan drank several glasses of water because she had just sweated too much.

After finishing another glass of water, Le Mulan said to Lian Tianji next to her, "Go get me another glass of water."

“Next time I leave school, remember to prepare a bucket of water for me.”

Lian Tianji nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "What kind of combat training is it that causes so much sweating?"

……

Songyang High School.

Inside the office for renting spiritual roots.

Administrator Wei Xin looked at Zhang Yu in surprise and said, "You said you want to rent it for how long?"

Zhang Yu said boldly, "If I rent it by the month, what kind of discount can I get?"

Although they had Bai Zhenzhen's true spiritual root that they could take turns using, even if the true spiritual root had some residual effects, it was still being shared by two people.

Now that he had a huge sum of money in hand, Zhang Yu thought of renting a muscle-enhancing spiritual root. When Bai Zhenzhen was using the spiritual root, he would use the muscle-enhancing spiritual root, so that both of them could use the spiritual root to cultivate 24 hours a day.

Administrator Wei Xin nodded repeatedly, her eyes shining, "Of course there can be a discount. For a muscle-enhancing spiritual root, a monthly rental can be discounted to 2 million a month."

In an instant, Zhang Yu fell silent, feeling that he had just been a little abrupt.

“Forget it, let's do it by the hour. I feel like that's more flexible.”

……

Late June.

Bailong High School.

Yu Xinghan and Zhang Yu created patches of afterimages as they fiercely fought together.

Sensing the fierce strength between the opponent's moves, Yu Xinghan asked, "Have you learned the Dragon Elephant Crushing Mountain Palm?"

Zhang Yu brought a dragon roar and elephant cry with his palm and shouted, "Because of you, I spent 200,000 to buy this set of techniques. Shouldn't you sponsor me a bit?"

Yu Xinghan also returned a palm and laughed, "Blame yourself for having too strong a talent for martial arts and spending too much money."

Yu Xinghan, who had checked Zhang Yu's information… had actually guessed this point a long time ago, that is, when he used pure physical martial arts like the Dragon Elephant Crushing Mountain Palm, it was very likely to be learned by Zhang Yu.

But this was precisely his purpose.

Because when the other party used the same martial arts as him, it was more convenient for him to use his third eye to absorb and copy Zhang Yu's physical strength and skills.

But he didn't want to point out that Zhang Yu was doing this, otherwise Zhang Yu would definitely ask him for more money.

“Fortunately… fortunately, he learned this set of techniques himself in training with me, and then could only buy it.”

“Hehe, saved another sum of money.”

However, thinking that Zhang Yu, in his poor state, still spent 200,000, Yu Xinghan felt a little embarrassed: "Sorry, Zhang Yu, but the battle for the immortal path is either you spending more money or me spending more money."

“If you want to go further on the path of immortality, you can only not give an inch.”

“I must pass the foundation establishment exam next year! For this goal, I will save money by any means! I want money!”

As for Zhang Yu participating in the foundation establishment exam, Yu Xinghan didn't take it to heart at all.

After all, in Yu Xinghan's view, the gap between the other party and him next year would only be greater due to financial constraints. He was not his competitor in the exam at all.

On the other side, Zhang Yu glanced at the Dragon Elephant Crushing Mountain Palm level 3 (5/30) on his Feather Book while using the level 1 Dragon Elephant Crushing Mountain Palm, feeling the new benefits of this martial art to his skills.

Because his usual cultivation time was already occupied by the Scarlet Marrow Primal Qi, he could only practice other martial arts during actual combat training.

So Zhang Yu simply bought the right to use the Dragon Elephant Crushing Mountain Palm, and practiced this martial art while conducting actual combat training with Yu Xinghan.

He thought to himself: "Sorry, Yu Xinghan… for me, using the level 1 Dragon Elephant Crushing Mountain Palm or using my highest level Dragon Elephant Crushing Mountain Palm, the training effect is about the same."

“But I can't reveal my terrifying talent.”

“I can only practice with you using the level 1 Dragon Elephant Crushing Mountain Palm, sacrificing your training quality a bit.”

“After all, in order to pass the foundation establishment qualification certificate this year, I have to use any means and seize every opportunity to become stronger.”

……

Time passed constantly in Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's crazy spending and crazy cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, it was already early July.

There was only one and a half months left until the first round of the foundation establishment exam in mid-August.

And on this day, inside Songyang High School.

Lan Ling led a group of second-year high school students towards the first-year high school area.

He thought to himself: "Zhang Pianpian has been gone for half a month, and the contract on Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's bodies doesn't seem to have been transferred to anyone else by Zhang Pianpian."

“Just leave them on the first floor like that?”

“Let's test them out and see if Zhang Pianpian has made any arrangements for these two poor ghosts.”

Lan Ling planned to teach the two of them a lesson during the actual combat class, just like he did a few months ago.

And when he thought of their rebellious behavior in the past, daring to challenge him, a rich senior, as poor ghosts and juniors, Lan Ling felt a burst of discomfort.

Of course, his actions this time were not only based on his own ideas.

Lan Ling thought of Zhou Chechen and Le Jingchen from Ziyun who had contacted him this morning.

Lan Ling thought to himself: "After all, letting two poor ghosts who can't get into the top ten schools occupy places in the competition… is causing a lot of people to have opinions."
