You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 47 - 36 Class A Contract

47: Chapter 36 Class A Contract

47 -36 Class A Contract

Looking at the recommended cultivation techniques, Zhang Yu started to feel curious: “My friend is watching this?

Which friend of mine is into these martial arts?”

Sadly, after logging in with real-name verification, Zhang Yu found that most of his real-life classmates were just friends on shopping websites, numerous enough that he still couldn’t pinpoint who was viewing these.

“Nine Heavens Speed Mastery Eight Divisions Talisman?”

Thinking of his 60-point Daoism exam, Zhang Yu immediately clicked into it, only to be deterred by the 98,000 price tag.

“Poor value for money with talismans; better not to consider them for now.”

Zhang Yu simply opened the rankings list to see what the most popular cultivation techniques currently were.

“Chang Chun Yi Shou Skill Deluxe Revised Edition, Health Cultivation and Disease Treatment, Brick Moving King Detailed Excavation Palm Crane Claw, Running Car Leg Uncut Version, Elevator Jump Practical Guide…”

Seeing these Qi Cultivation Stage techniques for sale, Zhang Yu was slightly stunned.

The top sellers were first for longevity and health-boosting techniques, which Zhang Yu understood deeply.

Who doesn’t want to live a few more years?

As for disease treatment, it made even more sense since hospitals are too expensive.

It’s more cost-effective to rely on oneself by practicing martial arts.

But next on the hot sellers list were either strength-based martial arts mimicking excavators and cranes, or lightness techniques inspired by sports cars and elevators…

Overall, they seemed like techniques only a bunch of nut jobs would want to learn.

However, upon reconsideration, Zhang Yu quickly understood.

Compared to them, who were high school students, most people in the Qi Cultivation Stage were actually workers, specifically in various construction sites, factories, delivery, and security jobs, those high-income groups where one person does the work of dozens.

For them, the Excavation Palm, Crane Claw, and Running Car Leg were their means of making a living, their way to establish themselves in Kunxu.

For them, these were truly useful techniques, much more reliable than striving to break through realms or enhance cultivation.

Realizing this, Zhang Yu changed the filter criteria, adjusting the suitable age range to 18 to 20 years old.

Instantly, the cultivation techniques displayed changed to Mana Bonus Strategies, Basic Eight Division Talisman Universal Dictionary, Simplified Thirty-Six Forms of Body Building…

Looking at it now, Zhang Yu felt these high-selling cultivation techniques were too basic and too simple.

“Looks like it’s the regular high school students buying these.”

So Zhang Yu added another filter condition: cultivation technique level.

Based on what Zhang Yu learned in school, cultivation techniques were divided into basic, advanced, expert, military-grade, and Immortal Gate Level.

It’s said that within the Immortal Gate Level, there are more detailed classifications, but Zhang Yu didn’t know the specifics.

After all, military-grade and Immortal Gate Level aren’t for ordinary people to cultivate.

One requires joining military or governmental departments for cultivation rights, while the other requires joining a large sect.

For instance, the Circulation Qi Gathering Method in Zhang Yu’s possession, he estimated should be advanced level.

As for Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique, he guessed it was expert level.

“Buzhou Banshan Scripture, Heart Element Great Handprint, Celestial Star Sword, Luminous Heart Sutra…”

His eyes lingered over these expert-level techniques, but after some eye-watering envy, he could only shake his head helplessly: “Expert-level techniques not only have higher cultivation thresholds, they demand more…

even the cheapest one costs tens of thousands just for the usage rights.

Way out of budget.”

“Unless the school’s contract really offers me a big payout.”

Zhang Yu’s eyes scanned the advanced level techniques, pondering: “Advanced ones I might consider buying once the contract negotiation is over.”

“Especially a mental method suitable for me, to make quicker progress to Dao Heart level 3 and start practicing the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique.”

After idly browsing the shopping platform and adding a few decent-looking techniques to his shopping cart, Zhang Yu planned to log off for now.

Just then, he noticed the recommended section had changed again.

Your competitor is placing orders: Mana Bonus Strategies, Basic Eight Division Talisman Universal Dictionary, Heavenly Demon Parasitic Method…

What the heck!

“You’re really abusing big data like this, huh?

Stirring up competition among users to stimulate spending?”

“Wait…

what even is this Heavenly Demon Parasitic Method?”

Your competitor is placing an order for Heavenly Demon Parasitic Method…

Who wouldn’t click on that?

Even a nosy dog would click in to take a peek.

Zhang Yu clicked in and found that the Heavenly Demon Parasitic Method was an expert-level technique that combined abilities like flesh self-healing, organ transplantation, flesh devouring, blood qi adaptation, and human body parasitism.

In summary, it was a martial art that could plunder others’ bodies.

As an experienced online reader from his past life, Zhang Yu had only one thought when he saw the name and description.

“Can anyone who buys this be a good person?”

“My opponent?

Which demon is trying to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Parasitic Method?”

“Is there really such an opponent?

Or is this website just making stuff up?”

Zhang Yu was a bit skeptical but, remembering the various mysterious powers and styles in Kunxu World, he felt it wasn’t impossible.

Zhang Yu checked the price; the Heavenly Demon Parasitic Method’s usage rights were a whopping 300,000.

Among those he knew, only a few qualified to cultivate such a technique, and considering the competitor term…

“Qian Shen?”

“Or He Dayou?”

Zhang Yu immediately suspected He Dayou, especially as Teacher Lei Jun had repeatedly played their battle video, and he remembered He Dayou looking at him very unfriendly.

“Anyway, better be cautious about these wealthy folks nearby.”

“Practicing something like Heavenly Demon Parasitic Method, truly monstrous.”

But soon he saw in the recommended section below the purchase page…

Others who viewed this technique were also looking at: Anti-Parasitic Method, Purification Divine Skill, Demon Slaying Magic…

Seeing those highly targeted names, Zhang Yu immediately started to doubt his earlier judgment.

“Could it really be this platform stirring things up, trying to trick me into ordering?”

Knowing Kunxu World’s business practices, Zhang Yu was certain companies there would definitely pull such stunts.

He could only jot this down in his mind for now, but before exiting the platform, he decided to add Anti-Parasitic Method, Purification Divine Skill, and Heavenly Demon Slaying Scroll to his wishlist.

After a while, he casually reopened the platform and added the Heavenly Demon Parasitic Method to his wishlist as well.

“Heh, hopefully, whoever’s ordering also sees ‘your opponent is viewing the Heavenly Demon Parasitic Method, Anti-Parasitic Method, Purification Divine Skill, Heavenly Demon Slaying Scroll…'”

And just like that, a night passed.

Zhang Yu’s Circulation Qi Gathering Method made further progress, advancing to level 8 (95/160).

And with a day’s hard cultivation, his mana also surged to a level of 12.1.

…

The next day.

On the Songyang High School campus.

Zhang Yu received a friend request from an avatar showing a barbell.

“Hello Zhang Yu, I’m Lanling from the sophomore demonstration class, also the head of the student council’s sports department.

I’d like to discuss something with you, please add me as a friend.”

After Zhang Yu accepted, a new message quickly followed from the other side.

“Hello, Zhang Yu student.

To promote the development of the societal Immortal Path and assist our school’s students in bravely climbing the peaks of the Immortal Road for better results, upholding the principle of mutual agreement and win-win cooperation, we are honored to invite you to discuss the contract matters, hoping to reach a deeper value-added partnership…”

The person invited him to meet at the student council’s office at noon today to discuss the contract issues.

“Finally, it’s here?”

So that noon, Zhang Yu washed his face, combed his hair, and tidied up his clothes before heading to the student council’s office.

He had just knocked on the door when, after it opened, yet another door appeared.

Oh…

it wasn’t really another door behind the door, but rather a person who looked a lot like a door.

A student with a door-like physique opened the door for Zhang Yu, smiling while retreating backward: “You’re Zhang Yu, right?”

Noticing the dumbbells the door board person was holding, Zhang Yu greeted, “Lanling, right?”

As they exchanged greetings, laughter echoed from behind the door board person, followed by the sound of someone running.

“Is it Zhang Yu here?”

A youth who hadn’t even bothered to put on shoes jumped down from the sofa, quickly ran over to Zhang Yu, and excitedly clasped his hands: “Hahaha, I heard yesterday that our Songyang High School produced another peerless genius, and today, I’ve finally met you.”

With that, he grabbed Zhang Yu and guided him inside.

As Lanling followed, he introduced: “Zhang Yu, this is our student council’s vice president, Zhou Chechen.”

Zhang Yu remembered that this seemed to be the first place scorer of the sophomore year.

After the monthly exams, he was often the school regular name, just like Zhang Yu.

Zhou Chechen pulled Zhang Yu to the sofa, and they both sat down.

Feeling the firm grip on his hands and the appreciative, excited, and intense gaze from his counterpart, Zhang Yu steeled himself.

Oh geez, could he be a fencing enthusiast?

Zhou Chechen reached out with a hand, grabbing thin air, while a stack of documents flew over from the desk and landed in his hands.

“After seeing your scores, I immediately checked your background.”

“Only then did I discover that debt collection calls regarding you had come to the school.”

Zhang Yu felt a weight in his heart, thinking, “Are they going to use my debts to underbid?”

But Zhou Chechen waved the documents, smiling: “After hearing it, I immediately had someone buy off your debts.”

“Ten platforms in total, all 700,000 of them are right here.”

“How could our school’s pride be bogged down by debt?

If word got out, other high schools would think Songyang High School is so poor it can’t even invest in its own students.”

Saying that, he exhaled a burst of mana, turning all the debt documents into ashes.

Amidst Zhang Yu’s stunned expression, Zhou Chechen continued, “Now you won’t need to repay monthly debts.”

“This 700,000 debt will temporarily be recorded under my name.

No interest needed, and no rush for you to repay.”

“Stay focused on studying and cultivating at our Songyang High School, and after you graduate from university and join a major sect, you can repay me slowly when you earn money.”

Zhang Yu looked at him in amazement, not expecting the deputy student council president to immediately address his most urgent borrowing problem.

Zhou Chechen then picked up another set of documents, saying: “This is the Class A contract I set for you after discussing with the president.”

“A monthly cultivation expense of 50,000, with an 80% discount on Spirit Root, silent rooms, Spirit Realm, talismans, cafeteria, potions…

a single room in the school dormitory reserved for you as well…”

Listening to each favorable condition the other party recited, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but feel his heartbeat accelerate with an urge to immediately sign on this document.
