What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?

Songyang High School.

The cafeteria during lunchtime.

Zhao Tianxing hesitated, holding his tray.

The campus seemed calm on the surface, everything as it always was.

But in reality, the conflict that occurred yesterday in the training grounds had already spread throughout the entire school.

Almost all the students knew that Zhang Yu from Class 1, Grade 1, had defected to Bailong High School and clashed with Zhou Chechen, the vice president of the student council, and a group of senior Grade 2 students.

According to Zhao Tianxing's observations and summaries among various student groups, most students' evaluations of this matter were also straightforward.

The 'Songyang Loyalists' believed: Isn't this a school traitor? A class thief? For personal gain, he defected to Bailong, a Songyang traitor! He should be expelled!

Jealous students suspected: First Li Xuelian, then Zhang Pianpian, why can Zhang Yu attract rich women so frequently? We strongly suspect his surgery wasn't done properly, the school should investigate him thoroughly.

Anger, jealousy... and hidden envy, ultimately transformed into blatant malice.

And most of the timid students didn't dare to approach Zhang Yu at all, fearing being implicated by the student council and the Songyang Loyalists.

Zhao Tianxing was the same; he was also afraid of being targeted if he got too close to Zhang Yu...

After all, student bullying wasn't unheard of at Songyang High School.

Zhao Tianxing had heard that the previous year's Shuang Youpeng had taken first place in the monthly exam when he was in Grade 1, making quite a splash.

But after entering Grade 2, his grades gradually fell behind the wealthy students, and he gradually began to suffer humiliation.

Things like being forbidden from doing homework, forbidden from taking medicine, forbidden from exercising, forbidden from staying up all night.

They even forced him to eat fried chicken, French fries, beer, and desserts every day, making him watch his belly grow bigger, his fat increase, and the muscles he had worked so hard to build slowly disappear.

They also forced him to watch videos, read novels, and play games every day, watching his grades drop point by point, and feeling his pursuit of cultivation suffer...

It wasn't until he completely begged for mercy that Zhou Chechen let him go.

Just thinking about the process made Zhao Tianxing feel short of breath.

So, when Zhang Yu invited him to eat together today, he panicked and said he had something to do and would go to the cafeteria later.

With this hesitant feeling, Zhao Tianxing got his food, and after seeing Zhang Yu's gaze again, he subconsciously chose to avoid it.

This avoidance made Zhao Tianxing feel a pang of sadness in his heart.

"Alas, I won't be friends with Zhang Yu anymore."

Holding his tray, he wandered around the cafeteria for a few steps, then couldn't help but look at Zhang Yu's location again.

When he saw Bai Zhenzhen and Qian Shen sitting down beside Zhang Yu one after another, a trace of envy appeared in Zhao Tianxing's eyes.

"Bai Zhenzhen and Qian Shen... why are they so bold, not afraid at all?"

"If only I could do whatever I wanted like them."

Although he always considered things a lot, Zhao Tianxing never liked this trait of his; he always hoped he wouldn't think so much and wouldn't care too much about other people's thoughts, but he really couldn't do it.

Just like at this moment, Zhao Tianxing subconsciously squeezed the tray, wanting to walk towards Zhang Yu's location, but he always felt that the surrounding students were consciously or unconsciously looking at him, as if as long as he sat next to Zhang Yu, he would be ostracized by the whole school.

Of course, he was just overthinking it; with so many people eating in the cafeteria, there were actually hardly any people specifically paying attention to him.

Zhao Tianxing looked at Zhang Yu, Qian Shen, and Bai Zhenzhen chatting happily, and a trace of longing unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

After returning home yesterday, he couldn't help but recall Zhang Yu's unwavering stance when facing Zhou Chechen.

He envied Zhang Yu's ability to do such a thing, and he also yearned for himself to be able to look calm and collected in the face of any pressure, just like Zhang Yu.

Just as Zhao Tianxing hesitated and couldn't make up his mind, he suddenly saw Zhang Yu waving at him.

"Lao Zhao! Over here!"

Zhao Tianxing was slightly stunned: "Is Zhang Yu thinking that I couldn't find him just now?"

He bit his lip and suddenly walked quickly to sit beside Zhang Yu.

At this moment, he only felt that there must be many people in the cafeteria looking at him; he just wanted to sit down quickly and then tell Zhang Yu not to call him.

And this time he wasn't wrong, there were indeed many people looking at Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, Qian Shen, and him.

But at this moment, Zhao Tianxing felt very cool, maybe in the eyes of others he was as cool as Zhang Yu yesterday.

He was wrong about this; at this moment, Zhao Tianxing, in the eyes of most students, was like a clown, and was also labeled as untouchable.

Just as Zhao Tianxing sat down, Zhang Yu received a message back from Zhang Pianpian.

The message Zhang Yu had just sent to Zhang Pianpian was: Sis, I have a classmate who loves to study and wants to add you as a friend.

Zhang Pianpian: How many points?

Zhang Yu: The highest was over 620, I think.

Zhang Pianpian: Too low, no add.

Zhang Yu: Huh?

Zhang Yu thought to himself: "My sister is also seriously discriminating against scores."

He suddenly thought of the phone calls Zhang Pianpian used to make to her; at that time, Zhang Yu, who didn't even score 600 points, was probably just a piece of human-shaped wet garbage in her eyes... no wonder she spoke so impolitely.

But thinking about the environment of Bailong High School, Zhang Yu felt that... well, it was reasonable for the top student of Bailong High School to act like this.

Looking up at Qian Shen, who was full of anticipation, Zhang Yu said embarrassedly: "I... she said you have over 620 points, the score is too low, no add."

Qian Shen was first slightly stunned, then his face turned red with shame, and he told Zhang Yu not to forget the 6 points in the ones place.

"The highest I ever got was 626 points!"

But after saying this, Qian Shen lowered his head, his eyes dim.

Zhang Yu only felt that Qian Shen seemed to be thinking a lot at this moment, and finally saw the other party nodding and saying: "My score is indeed too low."

Then Qian Shen raised his head again, and said with a face full of longing: "As expected of someone who got 699, the way you choose friends is so stylish."

"Please tell her that I will definitely study hard, improve my score, and add her as a friend."

"Also, although I am in Songyang High School, I have long admired Bailong High School, and I have taken the exam before, but I was just a little short of getting into Bailong's demonstration class..."

Zhang Yu understood, Qian Shen was definitely a spiritual Bailong person; the air in Bailong High School was sweeter, wasn't it?

He disgustedly forwarded this to Zhang Pianpian.

Zhang Pianpian: In the future, you don't need to forward this kind of talk from people with scores over 620 to me; these people have bad grades and can't keep up with us.

Looking at Qian Shen, who was full of energy, Zhang Yu thought about it and couldn't bear to tell him this.

...

In the afternoon's class.

The latest novel is first released on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

The Chinese teacher was lecturing on the podium.

Bai Zhenzhen was working hard to practice her magic control below.

Just then, the phone vibrated gently, and when she picked it up, she realized it was a message from Mo Tianyi.

Mo Tianyi: Bai Zhenzhen, did you and Zhang Yu defect to Zhang Pianpian of Bailong High School?

A-Zhen was slightly stunned, instantly understood, but didn't know how to reply.

Zhang Pianpian, the first in Grade 3 of Bailong High School, must be the representative of rich people in the eyes of Mo Tianyi and his poor student friends.

And Zhang Pianpian protecting Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu, in their eyes... must be forcibly signing the two from Songyang High School.

What else could it be? Bai Zhenzhen couldn't possibly tell Mo Tianyi that Zhang Pianpian appreciated Zhang Yu and her talent, so she wanted to take care of them and support them in getting into the Top Ten.

As for the sibling relationship between Zhang Yu and Zhang Pianpian, she promised to keep it a secret; she wasn't like Zhou Tianyi, who liked to gossip everywhere, so she couldn't say it even more.

But suddenly, she suddenly realized, why explain?

Explain too much to them, tell them they didn't sign a contract? Expose her and Zhang Yu's plan to rely on Zhang Pianpian's protection to take the Top Ten?

What if Mo Tianyi and their boss also wanted Zhang Pianpian to protect them... what should she do?

Or Mo Tianyi and his friends are gossipy, letting the rich people know about this, wouldn't it add to the trouble?

Now everyone thinks they have been taken in by this rich person Zhang Pianpian, thinking they won't take the Top Ten, which is a good thing.

At worst, if they really get into the Top Ten in the future, they can repay the tens of thousands of yuan of favor that Mo Tianyi and his friends invested, and even help them get to the second level of Kunxu if they have the chance.

"In the end, whether it's for me and Yu Zi, or for Mo Tianyi, whether or not we can get into the Top Ten is the most important thing."

"So the choice that can increase the success rate of getting into the Top Ten is the optimal solution."

Thinking of this, Bai Zhenzhen immediately replied: Yes, sorry, I really couldn't hold on anymore, we don't plan to take the Top Ten anymore, we have already signed with Zhang Pianpian.

After a moment, Mo Tianyi replied: Alas, I don't blame you, I heard some of the pressure Songyang High School put on you, it's normal that you couldn't hold on. But about our affairs, I hope you and Zhang Yu can keep it a secret and not reveal it to anyone.

Bai Zhenzhen: Don't worry, although we gave up, we also hope you can succeed, you are our last hope for the poor, good luck!

...

In the spirit world.

Mo Tianyi looked at Bai Zhenzhen's sincere reply, slightly relieved, but a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

Whether it was Zhang Yu's achievement of winning 4th place in the Magic Competition, or Bai Zhenzhen's previously demonstrated will, made him think that these two really had a slight possibility of getting into the Top Ten.

But now it seems...

"In the end, they still couldn't withstand the pressure."

Then he felt a little distressed that the money he gave to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had all gone to waste.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have given them the money, it would have been better to save this money for the boss?"

He sighed in his heart: "In the end, the one who can get into the Top Ten and lead us to break through the ceiling above our heads is still going to be the boss..."

Just then, a line of words flashed before Mo Tianyi's eyes: Work has been stagnant for more than 1 minute, please return to your work post immediately to continue working.

Mo Tianyi quickly retracted his thoughts, reopened the spirit world connection, and continued his work.

Unlike other high schools, the soul cultivation students of Mangshan High School need to participate in internships from the first year of high school.

And a series of dialog boxes quickly appeared before Mo Tianyi's eyes; his job today was as a customer service representative for a tutoring agency.

Customer: My son has already had castration surgery, but high school won't accept him, and now girls' schools and soul cultivation students are also rejecting him because of his physical defects, what should I do?

Mo Tianyi replied: Girls' schools and soul cultivation students have lower thresholds and are very popular every year, physical defects are easy to be eliminated. But it's not impossible, you can have your son undergo castration repair surgery and then participate in the interview.

Mo Tianyi: If it still fails, repeat the year until next year, you can have another castration surgery, this kind of two castration surgeries is a huge plus on the resume, it can show a firm Dao heart, and you will definitely be admitted next year.

Mo Tianyi: We have cooperating hospitals that we can recommend to you...

Beside Mo Tianyi, more than a dozen identical versions of him were facing different dialog boxes, also doing their jobs.

And the space where these Mo Tianyi's in the spirit world were located was a room of about ten square meters, with nothing in the room except them and the dialog boxes.

After working continuously for eighteen hours, there was finally a 5-minute break.

Looking at the salary he had earned, Mo Tianyi quickly transferred the money to the boss.

"The boss is in need of money right now."

Thinking that the salary he earned today could help the boss a little more hope of getting into the Top Ten, Mo Tianyi's heart filled with a sense of satisfaction and expectation.

"You must succeed, boss, you are the only poor person in Songyang City who might get into the Top Ten."

"And also the only possibility for us to escape this kind of life..."
