You dare to cultivate without money?!
Chapter 171 - 171 142 The Price of Giving Up Thanks to 'sfqk' for the generous tip

171: Chapter 142 The Price of Giving Up (Thanks to ‘sfqk’ for the generous tip) 171: Chapter 142 The Price of Giving Up (Thanks to ‘sfqk’ for the generous tip) In the illusion.

Ten men with varying temperaments and different sizes, each with their own outstanding qualities, appeared in front of Zhang Yu.

And with just one glance, it was clear that each of them was a paragon among men, each possessing unique skills.

Yet, feeling the deeply meaningful gazes of these ten men approaching step by step, Zhang Yu only felt it was more terrifying and despairing than dealing with ten Song Halongs in the arena.

“Get away!”

“Don’t come near me!”

At this moment, Zhang Yu was filled with immense fear and rage.

He never expected that someone in Kunxu would use such a method to humiliate him, to force him to give up the Foundation Establishment Exam.

“Damn it, I do want to give up!”

“I can just take it again next year…”

But as soon as this thought arose in his heart, Zhang Yu felt that coldness creep up again, and he knew this ritual was not going to let him give up.

…

In the office.

Huang Zichou frowned, saying, “He doesn’t want women, nor men, does he want…?”

Beside him, Deng Bingding said indifferently, “It’s normal not to be interested in men or women; some people just prefer money, enjoy power, crave authority…”

“But as long as someone has intelligence, there is always a price, a weakness, a soft spot.”

“It’s usually easy to find these in poor people.”

As he spoke, Deng Bingding pointed casually and said, “Huang Zichou, you are specifically in charge of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, these two poor people.

If you can eliminate them, do it quickly to avoid wasting the budget.”

Huang Zichou was slightly stunned, quickly saying, “Uh, it’s not…”

In his view, these two paupers clearly wouldn’t amount to anything, and overseeing their Dao Heart Test on this round seemed like doing the most useless tasks.

But Deng Bingding gave Huang Zichou no opportunity to object, waving his hand to stop the other’s words: “This time everyone is working overtime temporarily, time is tight, tasks are heavy, keep your complaints for later.”

Deng Bingding instructed again: “Remember, keep an eye on the illusions, make sure not to blindly raise prices within the illusions.”

“The key is to find the opponent’s weakness and spend money wisely; otherwise, randomly throwing money around will lead to inflated valuations.”

“If any of you are criticized during the re-evaluation of this Foundation Establishment Exam, don’t blame me for not warning you.”

All the gods present knew that the process of the Foundation Establishment Exam would be reviewed, and if they carelessly gave evaluations, they would bear the consequences.

On the other side, Huang Zichou thought to himself: “Sigh, isn’t this giving me the most garbage job in this project?

Is Mr.

Deng intentionally giving me trouble?”

Although Deng Bingding seemed to assign him this task casually, he knew that a Sixth-class God wouldn’t just point casually.

“Impossible, I put 5000 yuan in the Goodwill Talisman I gave her.”

“The four of us agreed before coming, to use only a 3000 Goodwill Talisman, I even added an extra 2000…”

He couldn’t help but glance at the three colleagues beside him, but found all three Gong Cao Little Gods were working earnestly and focused, with no intention of speaking.

Feeling a bit frustrated, Huang Zichou could only turn his attention back to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, cursing his bad luck internally.

“What are these two paupers even taking the test for.”

“Quickly help them finish the test.”

“So I can go assess some other good students…”

Just as Huang Zichou was trying to speed up the elimination of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

On various light screens, students had gradually started surrendering in the Dao Heart Test.

Deng Bingding swept with Divine Power, recording each student’s accepted offer upon surrender, valuing them accordingly.

400 million forfeit

600 million forfeit

320 million forfeit

Seeing these frequent billion-level numbers, Deng Bingding slightly lamented: “After all, it’s an illusion, in reality, no one would offer such high prices just to make them drop out.”

“The illusion also made them subconsciously overlook many uncanny places, just to test the limits of their hearts.”

Among the numbers Deng Bingding recorded, there were highs and lows, just because each person’s background, strength, and wealth were different, faced with varying temptations, the time experienced in the illusion was long, didn’t necessarily mean their valuation was higher than others.

The influence of personal wealth is substantial, which Deng Bingding also found normal, as wealth has always been a significant source of Immortal Dao Potential and Immortal Dao determination.

Freshmen, having two chances for the Foundation Establishment Exam, usually perform worse than sophomores, just like the differences in Dao Heart, Mana, and Body between freshmen and sophomores.

At the next moment, as Deng Bingding’s gaze shifted, he saw Yu Xinghan’s illusion.

…

In the illusion.

“This is Xianyun High School in Xiandu City, how do you find the environment?”

“To establish this school, the group specifically relocated an entire Spirit Vein here, just to provide the juniors with the best learning environment.”

“Here is the admission application form.”

“As long as you agree, you can study here in the future.”

Yu Xinghan took a deep breath of the air at Xianyun High School, feeling it was the best air he had ever inhaled in his life.

But after hearing the other’s words, he gritted his teeth and chose to refuse.

“Then what about the citizen qualification of Xiandu City?

Don’t you want to live here?”

“A formal job at Oasis Group?

This is what countless people dream of, what they strive for their entire lives yet can’t attain?”

Yu Xinghan rejected one request after another, not because he wasn’t tempted or didn’t want it.

But his rich experience in demanding money told him that he hadn’t reached their bottom price yet; he could ask for more.
