Chapter 637: Chapter 576: The Simplest and Most Effective Way to Deal with the Double Rest Virus
After consulting with Magnetic Pole True Monarch, Zhang Yu then negotiated with Fu Ji, and finally entrusted the matter to Mo Sha True Man.
Anyway, he could still get updates on the entire negotiation process at any time, and his opinion must be considered in the final profit distribution.
What Mo Sha True Man mentioned about the expenditure of time and mental energy indeed hit Zhang Yu’s main concern.
At this moment, Zhang Yu’s full attention was focused on the preparations for the Top Ten League, and he was really not interested in wasting time on such business negotiations.
After finishing the communication with the Investment Management Office, Zhang Yu’s gaze shifted, looking at the message that appeared in the eye remains, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
His new assistant is coming.
...
Inside Bei Wufeng’s laboratory.
Liu Xiangqiao said, "Boss, I plan to leave."
Bei Wufeng tried to persuade, "Xiangqiao, you’re doing well here, why do you want to leave..."
Liu Xiangqiao interrupted, "How well am I doing? How long have I been doing odd jobs?"
"I don’t really matter here!"
"I don’t want to keep living like this with you."
Bei Wufeng frowned slightly; the Liu Xiangqiao before him had suddenly become impatient and irritable these past few days, clashing with other assistants, causing arguments.
Originally, Bei Wufeng just thought she was in a bad mood due to losing money. Who knew she’d suddenly bring up quitting the project team today.
Bei Wufeng couldn’t help but say, "If you leave now, you might not be able to come back easily."
Liu Xiangqiao said, "Trying to threaten me again? How many times have you threatened me since following you?"
"This time I will not yield."
Bei Wufeng stared blankly at this scene, only feeling that the woman before him was simply crazy.
However, an assistant who wouldn’t cooperate wasn’t of much value to him, so Bei Wufeng eventually let her go.
Once Liu Xiangqiao left the laboratory, she immediately sent a message to Zhang Yu: I’ve arrived.
Zhang Yu: He didn’t notice?
Liu Xiangqiao: No
As soon as Liu Xiangqiao arrived at the laboratory, she reorganized the laboratory protocols, implemented arrangements, and scheduled the usage of various equipment and instruments.
Zi Yunzhen looked at all these new rules and couldn’t help but say, "Isn’t it enough to complete the tasks? Is this much hassle really necessary?"
Liu Xiangqiao said calmly, "If you want to go far on the Artifact Refining path, just completing isn’t enough, you must do it right and well."
"Previously, for the sake of efficiency, you sought speed and saved time and effort, neglecting too many standard procedures. With the project expanding and 11 more Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords to refine, doing it that way won’t work."
With Liu Xiangqiao’s series of actions, the efficiency in the project team initially decreased slightly but soon began to pick up speed. Zhang Yu also felt that the process of refining flying swords became smoother, realizing he hadn’t wasted effort in recruiting her.
...
In the Dark Spirit Realm.
Fu Ji and Zhang Yu were communicating with the Evil Gods inside.
Especially regarding the Dual Rest Sect, Fu Ji and Zhang Yu were particularly concerned.
Whether it was the situation at the college or the Shui Haiyu incident, both felt the influence stirred by the Dual Rest Sect was gradually spreading.
Fu Ji seemed to complain, "Who’s behind the Dual Rest Sect? They’re preaching everywhere now, which is rather unprincipled."
The thousand-handed, thousand-legged Xi Shen smiled slightly and said, "The folks from the Dual Rest Sect are quite crazy; we’ve never seen such zealous missionaries."
Fu Ji said, "To preach crazily on Wanfa University’s territory, there must be insiders, right?"
"Just like when you attacked University City last time."
Xi Shen smiled without answering.
Fu Ji continued, "What exactly are they trying to do, Will it affect us?"
Hearing this question, Xi Shen also became slightly serious, clearly caring about this issue as well.
Xi Shen said, "Honestly, I don’t know the reason for the Dual Rest Sect’s frantic spreading. I only know they likely have contacts with the Finance Department of Wanfa University."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu felt inspired, recalling the last time the Evil God requested them to obtain information from the Finance Department.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The mysterious account in the Finance Department sending money, could it be to the Dual Rest Sect?"
"These guys are involving the Dual Rest Sect while also bringing in demon materials; what are they trying to accomplish?"
As Zhang Yu was contemplating, Xi Shen continued, "The lunatics from the Dual Rest Sect have even developed something called the Dual Rest Virus to further increase their spreading efforts."
Fu Ji felt stirred, "Dual Rest Virus? Is it like the one from the Divinity Transformation Remains before?"
Xi Shen said, "It’s more advanced."
"Besides Dual Cultivation, now they can also spread through information exchange via the remains."
"And after spreading through the remains, it also transmits into a person’s flesh, it’s a troublesome thing."
Fu Ji said, "Since it’s a virus, there must be a way to block it, right?"
Xi Shen said, "The Dual Cultivation Virus belongs to a kind of Heart Demon; our Evil God rituals are definitely able to counter it."
"Apart from that, the True Gods probably are already developing an antidote."
"Of course, there’s an easiest way to deal with the Dual Rest virus, but no one has used it yet."
Fu Ji asked curiously, "What method is that?"
"Add money," Xi Shen said. "Increase salary... This is an effective way to prevent the Dual Rest virus. However, until now, no company is willing to do this. After all, once this precedent is set, the consequences are endless and can cause a global upheaval."
"The Dual Rest Sect’s actions can be described as insane."
Upon hearing Xi Shen’s words, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but think to himself, "Even the Evil God is displeased with the Dual Rest Sect?"
Fu Ji said, "Nonsense, if everyone gets a salary increase, who would still believe in their Unemployed Sect or Yuhua Sect?"
Fu Ji also said solemnly, "The Dual Rest Sect’s action is simply cutting the ground from under the pot, offending companies, True Gods, Evil Gods, Demon Sect—they are truly going mad."
On the other side, Xi Shen continued, "Fushen, the actions of the Dual Rest Sect have become increasingly outrageous. I sought you out this time to reach a new collaboration agreement with you, to mutually share intelligence about the Dual Rest Sect in the future. We must not let these demons continue to harm Kunxu."
Fushen said, "This is as it should be."
...
Shortly after Zhang Yu finished his exchange in the Dark Spirit Realm, he received new information from Zhang Pianpian about Shui Haiyu.
In the Taiqing Realm, Zhang Pianpian said, "All the recordings from the scene have been deleted."
"Whether it’s surveillance or Spirit Realm Network data, there’s nothing left."
"From the investigation results, it’s said that the Spirit Realm was hijacked."
Zhang Yu asked, "Does that mean the video Shui Haiyu sent me is fake?"
Zhang Pianpian shook her head. "I checked the video; there are no signs of editing."
"But just because the video wasn’t edited doesn’t mean the content is real. After all, the footage could be fabricated."
"But if the video is real..."
Zhang Pianpian frowned and said, "It means there is a significant breach in the local Spirit Realm, where someone managed to abduct Shui Haiyu’s soul ahead of the True God."
Although Zhang Yu was very curious about this, he knew he didn’t have time to investigate. After discussing briefly with Zhang Pianpian, he dove back into the laboratory.
...
A month later.
Time reached June.
In the laboratory, Zhang Yu looked at the twelve Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords in front of him, a glimmer of joy in his eyes.
After a month of overtime training, he finally refined the remaining eleven Level 20 flying swords.
Beside him, his assistants Liu Xiangqiao, Zi Yunzhen, and Su Yuni, although witnessing Zhang Yu complete the refinement step-by-step, still looked at the twelve neatly arranged flying swords with a sense of wonder in their eyes.
Liu Xiangqiao secretly thought, "Even though the Artifact Refining blueprint for the Taihao Sacred Law Flying Sword had already been promoted to Level 20, completing the refinement of eleven flying swords in over a month is still incredibly fast."
At this moment, she couldn’t help but feel grateful that she chose to join Zhang Yu’s project in the end.
Not only was the project progress impressive, but it also allowed her to showcase her skills, becoming the second-in-command for a military-level project.
She felt that working for Zhang Yu for a month was more enjoyable than working under Bei Wufeng for a year.
Zhang Yu then started assembling a sword array, preparing to complete the final step of the Taihao Sacred Law Flying Sword.
A few days later, the results of a new round of negotiations between the investment management division and Wanda Group arrived.
"A buyout fee of 60 spirit coins, plus 2% dividends?"
Zhang Yu asked Magnetic Pole True Monarch and Ye Xingli, confirmed that this was almost negotiating to the limit, then signed the contract.
...
At the same time, on a construction site in the wilderness.
Although the college war zone wasn’t far, the construction site was bustling.
Steel bars, cement, dust everywhere—Shi Huaiyu, Xiao Qingxuan, and others were working fervently, and in the sky, a red shadow flickered back and forth—a Heavenly Sun Divine assisting with the construction.
This was Zhang Yu’s company’s upcoming new project.
As the intensity of the college war rose, various civil engineering projects needed for the war were launched one after another, and the Civil Engineering Department of Wanfa University received more and more projects.
Unknowingly, Zhang Yu’s company’s employees traveling for work became the norm, struggling every day to gather military-level Magic Treasure fragments for Zhang Yu.
Yu Xinghan also came to the site with the project that day.
As a part-time employee, besides maintaining his health, he was also responsible for some construction tasks.
But at this moment he was lying on the ground, eyes lazy, as if his usual fighting spirit was gradually being drained away from his body.
"It’s over."
"I seem to have contracted the Dual Rest virus."
"Damn it...who passed it to me?"
Yu Xinghan understood that with the Dual Rest virus, he might be sent to the Rest and Detoxification Center, wasting a lot of time, and possibly becoming a subject for virus research.
If it were other Wanfa University students, they might hide their poisoning incident.
But Yu Xinghan looked at his comrades on the construction site, who fought deadly battles and committed crimes together, and finally sighed deeply, opened his friends list, and looked at the person he trusted more than his senior sister now.
Yu Xinghan: Zhang Yu, I have something to tell you
