You dare to cultivate without money?!
Chapter 116 - 116 94 Zhang Yu's Temptation

116: Chapter 94 Zhang Yu’s Temptation 116: Chapter 94 Zhang Yu’s Temptation Purple Cloud High School, on Le Mulan’s phone screen, is currently displaying a photo.

The content of the photo is Zhang Yu standing with a big smile at the entrance of a grocery store, giving a thumbs up toward the camera.

The text below the photo reads: Peak Stationery Store, the best stationery store at the entrance of Songyang High School, the owner is super nice, the products are cost-effective, highly recommend everyone to try.

Two slender fingers pressed on the screen stretching for a while, enlarging the photo until Zhang Yu’s image filled the entire phone screen.

After a long time, accompanied by the flipping of the fingers, a new set of photos emerged.

Opening the first photo, it shows Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen with their arms around each other’s shoulders, taking a selfie in front of the White Dragon High School gate.

The second photo shows Bai Zhenzhen holding an oversized beverage bottle filled with energy drinks.

The third photo is Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen sitting back-to-back, surrounding by a circle of beverage bottles, with Song Halong’s speechless face at the edge of the photo.

The text below reads: Here again at White Dragon High School, the energy drinks here are really strong and delicious, I have to bring back several full barrels each time, I am a monthly subscriber of White Dragon, anyone interested in buying contact directly.

Once again, the slim fingers enlarged the images of Zhang Yu one by one, before finally flipping to the next set of photos.

This set of photos, however, captures the night view of Songyang City, seemingly taken from a building in the suburbs.

The focal point is the tall, seemingly sky-reaching Central Building in the center, with the under-construction Oasis Building not far away, surrounded by various neon-lit skyscrapers, extending to the suburban areas on the outskirts…

from light to dark, sketching out the night view of Songyang City.

The text below reads: At 4 a.m.

in Songyang, you can choose to slack off for three years or struggle for three years.

If you slack for three years, you might suffer for over a hundred years later, but if you choose to struggle for three years, successfully get into university, and achieve Foundation Establishment, you can endure another two hundred years of hardship.

A light laugh echoed as slender fingers continued scrolling through Zhang Yu’s Moments, but just then, a message popped up at the top of the screen.

Lian Tianji: The sacred number one, are you kidding me?

You want me to go to Zhang Yu and buy what???

The slender fingers quickly tapped on the phone screen, beginning a reply.

Le Mulan: I’m not kidding, please, I can pay you more.

Transaction 2000

Transaction 2000 accepted

Lian Tianji: This isn’t about money, plus you can ask him yourself, why do you want me to go to him?

Le Mulan: If you’re unwilling, I’ll step on your head to class every day.

Lian Tianji: Delivery or should I personally bring it over?

Looking at Lian Tianji’s reply on the screen, Le Mulan nodded slightly: “Indeed, it’s better to be firm when talking to these classmates with scores lower than mine.”

Returning to continue browsing through Zhang Yu’s Moments, Le Mulan murmured: “Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, these two poor folks are really inseparable.”

But she didn’t care about it, just reflecting while flipping through Zhang Yu’s Moments.

Under the light of the phone screen, as she continued to browse Zhang Yu’s photos, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on the corner of Le Mulan’s mouth.

“All my efforts over these past days weren’t in vain, now looking at Zhang Yu’s photos, I basically feel nothing.”

“Next, just wait for Lian Tianji to deliver Zhang Yu’s clothes.”

“Once I get used to the clothes, I shouldn’t feel so uncomfortable facing Zhang Yu.”

In her heart, Le Mulan silently thought, it would be time to confront the impoverished Zhang Yu and completely overcome her inner weakness.

…

In the cafeteria.

Bai Zhenzhen’s mind was still replaying the message Lian Tianji had just sent to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu placed the newly bought meal in front of Bai Zhenzhen, his mind thinking about discussing the matter of illegal tutoring with Azhen.

He didn’t notice the strange look in Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes directed at him.

After eating, Zhang Yu said to Bai Zhenzhen: “Azhen, come with me to the rooftop, I have something to tell you.”

So the two of them went to the rooftop.

This was one of their secret training bases within the school.

Over the past days, the two of them had shed countless efforts here, witnessing each other’s growth.

And today, arriving here again, Zhang Yu first said: “Azhen, I have something I want to tell you, you can sense I’ve been making some money recently, right?”

I can not only sense it, I frigging saw the message your client sent to you!

Listening to Zhang Yu’s words, Bai Zhenzhen’s face turned slightly bitter, and she was even more surprised within: “Could it be that Yuzi wants to tell me his money-making secret, his secret with Lian Tianji?”

Bai Zhenzhen knew that every year there were high school students who walked this path under monetary pressure.

Those students who were willing to sell themselves to pursue the Immortal Path, some looked down on them, thinking what immortals could poor people cultivate.

Others admired them, considering them to have a strong Dao Heart in pursuit of the Immortal Path.

But Bai Zhenzhen never thought Zhang Yu would walk this path, and had even walked before Lian Tianji.

“Yuzi, you’ve gone too far, I can’t keep up.”

“Besides, if you’re getting involved, why pick Lian Tianji?

He only made it to the top eight in the Martial Arts Tournament, totally unworthy of you.”

“Couldn’t you find a real academic elite?

Even if it’s Song Halong…

no, Song Halong’s physical strength is too high, the medical expenses might not even be enough to cover it.”

“If it’s Le Mulan spending money, even I could accept it a bit more easily!”

Although her mind flashed with thoughts momentarily, Bai Zhenzhen quickly regained her composure.

She tried to control her expression and slowly said: “So what you’re saying…

is related to your recent money-making?”

Zhang Yu nodded, saying: “Yes, I have a way to earn money and I want to bring you along, the place is in the far suburbs, I’ve gone many times, it feels safe…”

Bai Zhenzhen’s face suddenly changed, her face wrinkling like a melon as she looked at Zhang Yu, thinking to herself: “Is Yuzi trying to drag me into this race too?”

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen found herself completely unprepared for this and her first instinctive reaction was to refuse.

Considering this, she couldn’t help but have a flicker of admiration in her gaze toward Zhang Yu.

“Yuzi’s grades are already better than mine, yet he still earns money in other areas after school, goes to Lian Tianji for ‘tutoring’, and works hard to save up resources for cultivating.

I admit my Dao Heart isn’t as strong as yours, you’re impressive this time.”

Taking a deep breath, she patted Zhang Yu on the shoulder and said: “Thanks my buddy, but really, you don’t need to, such a good money-making opportunity, you enjoy it yourself, I haven’t reached that point yet.”

“Lian Tianji’s physical strength isn’t low either, be careful not to get injured and end up in a clinic.”

Zhang Yu puzzled, asked: “What does this have to do with Lian Tianji?”

Bai Zhenzhen lightly sighed, turned her head full of helplessness and said: “This noon, the message Lian Tianji sent you, I accidentally saw it.”

“But don’t worry, I helped you turn off the phone screen, only I saw it, Qian Shen, Zhao Tianxing, they don’t know.”

“I will keep this secret for you.”

Zhang Yu frowned, took out his phone, and upon seeing Lian Tianji’s message, wished he could smash the phone.

“Born!

This born!

I treated Lian Tianji as a friend!

And he messes with me?”

Then Zhang Yu thought of Bai Zhenzhen’s behavior just now, and quickly explained: “Nothing happened between me and him!”

He picked up the phone screen, showing Bai Zhenzhen the chat logs with Lian Tianji: “Look, clear and nothing has happened.”

Bai Zhenzhen instinctively exhaled a sigh of relief, then curiously asked: “Then why does Lian Tianji want to buy the clothes you’ve worn?”

“Who the hell knows what’s going on in his mind?” Zhang Yu fiercely picked up the phone and began to reply: “I’ll first ask him what price, and based on the price I’ll decide my reply.”

Unknowingly, Zhang Yu had already become increasingly accustomed to Kunxu’s lifestyle, developing the habit of reacting differently to different numbers.

Bai Zhenzhen also curiously watched from the side.

Just see on the phone screen, Zhang Yu: What’s the price?

Lian Tianji: Any piece of clothing you’ve worn, 2000 bucks.

Bai Zhenzhen on the side said: “Try replying with 5000.”

After waiting for a while, both Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen saw Lian Tianji send back an agreement reply.

Bai Zhenzhen laughed on the side: “Haha, so easy to earn 5000?”

But Zhang Yu still felt awkward: “Why on earth is he buying my clothes?”

Bai Zhenzhen patted Zhang Yu’s shoulder, saying: “This is 5000 bucks for one of your clothes, why care what he intends to do with it.”

Zhang Yu’s eyes moved: “Right, I almost forgot what I just told you, I wanted to introduce you to a money-making avenue today.”

Just then, the doll that had been quietly resting on Zhang Yu’s chest, disguised as a black bead, spoke.

The doll spoke into Zhang Yu’s mind, reminding: “Zhang Yu, I’ve warned you, in this business, the most important thing is to trust no one, even sons can betray their fathers, are you sure you want to tell this woman in front of you?”

Zhang Yu, without any hesitation, said to Bai Zhenzhen: “Azhen, do you know the Dark Study Gang?”

Under Zhang Yu’s explanation, Bai Zhenzhen realized that the money Zhang Yu recently earned came from tutoring.

For a moment, Bai Zhenzhen’s expression turned complicated.

Good news, the son didn’t sell himself short.

Bad news, the son joined a gang, doing work more dangerous than robbery.

Being a proper poor top student from a key high school, Bai Zhenzhen not only respected copyrights but also held deep fear and reverence for corporations instilled from a young age.

At this moment, hearing Zhang Yu wanting to bring her into a gang, she also became nervous: “Is this really not dangerous?

If the company finds out, won’t they catch us and make us work as slaves for life?”

Zhang Yu explained: “I was also worried like you at first, but after going there, I discovered that the Dark Study Gang is a legitimate big gang that pays taxes and worships gods, for part-timers, only teaching needs to be considered, not combat or killing.”

“And it’s really lucrative there, I can earn an hourly wage of 6500.”

Saying this, Zhang Yu paused slightly, also somewhat helpless: “And here in Kunxu… we poor people find it too difficult to earn a living in legitimate ways, only places like the Dark Study Gang can offer us a relatively decent income, giving us a better chance of getting into the top 10 universities.”

When Bai Zhenzhen heard the hourly wage of 6500, her heart rate accelerated, immediately understanding why people would join a gang.

And finally hearing Zhang Yu’s sentiment, she agreed and nodded, silently saying in her heart: “Yes, people like us, if we don’t do some life-and-death dangerous work… how can we climb up?”

Therefore Bai Zhenzhen resolutely nodded as well, saying: “Yes, I trust you, just tell me what I need to do.”
