Upon seeing Tian Yang's message, Wang's gaze turned frosty. He replied, "Are you threatening me?"
Tian Yang did not respond directly, but instead sent a screenshot. It was the class ranking of Zhang Yu's class, along with the praise that their homeroom teacher, the esteemed Jiao Lei Zhenren, had posted in the group chat.
Seeing Zhang Yu's second-place ranking, Wang's eyes narrowed slightly. A feeling of discomfort arose within him, and subtle strands of anger began to brew in his mind.
Even the Emperor's Heart, the cultivation technique he practiced, seemed to stutter and skip like a lagging network, filled with a sense of stagnation and blockage.
Wang's current feeling was that seeing Zhang Yu earn even a single spiritual coin was more unbearable than losing ten spiritual coins himself!
At the same time, Tian Yang replied, "I'm not threatening you; I'm simply stating a fact!"
Tian Yang: "If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Yu will inevitably work overtime every day, make money every day, and become stronger and stronger!"
Tian Yang: "But I have a way to make him not take medicine, not work overtime, and still sleep for a full eight hours every day, turning him into a useless person, bit by bit!"
Wang's first reaction was that it was impossible!
Wang: "Who would willingly become so degenerate?"
Tian Yang: "I'm going to feed him three meals a day, making him addicted to eating, and causing him to be drowsy for eight hours or more!"
Wang was slightly stunned, thinking, "With Zhang Yu's strength, eating too much would indeed make him drowsy!"
"And the more he eats, the more his stomach and intestines will expand, and his digestive ability will be stimulated. His appetite will also grow larger and larger. Missing even one meal will make him feel unbearable hunger, and his 'rice addiction' will become heavier and heavier!"
"If he doesn't have strong digestive abilities to support him, a strong 'rice addiction' will only make him more prone to drowsiness!"
Thinking about Zhang Yu becoming addicted to overeating every day, he felt as though his cultivation technique was flowing more smoothly.
But he still had a question in his mind!
Wang: "Where will he get the money to eat every day?"
Tian Yang: "That's where your assistance comes in."
Wang: "I want to see it live, to see him eating and sleeping."
Ending the call with Wang, Tian Yang looked at Zhang Yu with a smile, "That screenshot of your homeroom teacher's praise was good. It probably triggered a weakness in his heart!"
Zhang Yu was not surprised by this. In a university that placed so much importance on rankings and grades, rankings were information that could be used to deter classmates, and naturally, also information that could be used to stimulate opponents!
Zhang Yu asked, "Then what do we do tomorrow?"
Tian Yang looked at him and asked, "Your appetite should be pretty good, right? For the second day!"
Wang then saw in the live stream, Zhang Yu being dragged by Tian Yang to a feast!
Enticed by the aroma of the Heavenly Essence Rice, Wang could see Zhang Yu's Adam's apple bobbing and swallowing saliva!
Wang sneered, thinking, "Hmph, this poor wretch must be starving in the University City!"
The next moment, Zhang Yu, after consuming three large bowls of Heavenly Essence Rice, collapsed on the ground and passed out!
Seeing this scene, Wang couldn't help but laugh out loud!
In the following days, Wang watched Tian Yang force-feed Zhang Yu every day!
He watched Zhang Yu repeatedly unable to resist the strong appetite, repeatedly passing out after overeating. He felt an unspeakable pleasure in his heart, and the Emperor's Heart in his mind operated more and more smoothly!
Especially when Wang cultivated every day, as long as he saw that Zhang Yu was still sleeping, he felt a burst of comfort and peace of mind!
The longer Zhang Yu slept, the more pleasure he felt, and the smoother his cultivation became!
"With that little strength, eating three bowls of rice every meal and becoming addicted to rice addiction, I'm afraid he'll feel restless if he misses a meal!"
"This person is already half-crippled!"
Thinking of this, Wang felt that the effect of his cultivation technique had improved again, and his Dao heart became more and more rounded!
He could feel that the recovery of his Dao heart level would be smoother!
Under the camera!
Zhang Yu swallowed the Heavenly Essence Rice in the bowl one by one, and also swallowed the potion hidden in the rice at the same time.
Feeling the fierce medicinal power surging in his body, Zhang Yu quickly began to operate the Breathing Technique, collecting spiritual energy and refining mana!
From the outside, Zhang Yu was lying motionless on the ground, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep!
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "How vicious, this Wang. He actually wants me to sleep more than eight hours a day. He must be cultivating fiercely while watching my live stream!"
"I can't relax either."
With the potential unleashed by the ferocious medicines like Calamity Blood Powder and Spiritual Root Stimulant, coupled with the Heavenly Essence Rice simultaneously consolidating the foundation and replenishing the deficiencies, and the high concentration of spiritual energy in the graveyard...
All of this allowed Zhang Yu's breathing efficiency to skyrocket, far exceeding any time in his past!
Feeling the mana surging like a roaring dragon, like a raging river, Zhang Yu had to speed up the activation of his body to repair the constantly damaged meridians!
Wang: "He's sleeping too little now. He can still work and study for more than 16 hours a day. Make him sleep longer!"
Tian Yang: "Sleeping too long will easily arouse suspicion, but I have other ways!"
Tian Yang: "I will praise his talent every day, cultivate his confidence, keep praising him, and lead him astray, so that even if he works, it will be difficult for him to improve, and he will develop the habit of 'that's good enough'!"
Wang was skeptical about this: "Zhang Yu is not someone who can be easily bewitched by words alone."
But soon after, in the camera, Wang saw Tian Yang pointing to the tasks that Zhang Yu had done, praising him while saying, "10 centimeters short of passing!"
"This one also passed!"
"All passed!"
"Don't be so nervous. It's not like you're forging an immortal artifact. Being able to do this level as a freshman is already as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!"
Wang, watching Zhang Yu's low-quality work results being passed, couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. He seemed to have already seen the other party's future, getting by with mediocrity, muddling through in his job, and having difficulty getting promoted for many years!
But it's still not enough...
Wang: "I want him to be even more miserable."
Tian Yang: "Then I have other ways, but the price is not low."
Wang: "Tell me your ways first."
Tian Yang: "I want to surround him with beauties who like him, taking care of him and providing him with a lot of emotional value every day, making him indulge in women and emotions, distracting him, so that he can no longer concentrate on work and study."
Wang: "As far as I know, Zhang Yu can cultivate to this step without being infertile. He's probably not someone who easily indulges in women."
Tian Yang: "Construction workers wear out their bodies all day on construction sites. Who doesn't love massages? Outside the camera, Zhang Yu is reworking and repairing his work results!"
Hearing Tian Yang taking him to a massage, he couldn't help but hesitate, "Am I sacrificing too much like this?"
Tian Yang: "Do you still want to make money?"
Zhang Yu: "Let's go!"
Inside the massage parlor!
Yu Xinghan said impatiently, "Why hasn't the technician arrived yet?"He glanced at Li Xiao beside him and said, "Go see what's going on! We've been waiting for almost half an hour!"
A moment later, Li Xiao sent a message that all the masseuses had been booked, and were currently serving Zhang Yu alone. Yu Xinghan's eyes narrowed, and he stood up immediately upon hearing this. He had to see this for himself!
Soon after, Yu Xinghan saw a group of masseuses surrounding Zhang Yu!
Each of these masseuses possessed an astonishing physique, each was incredibly patient, and each exuded a beauty of strength and speed, with varying statures and charms. They also possessed massage techniques honed over years of experience!
And now, surrounded by them, every inch of Zhang Yu's skin seemed to be pampered, his entire body's Qi and blood constantly being stirred by these hands!
Seeing this scene, Yu Xinghan was startled, and then noticed Tian Yang standing nearby!
The last time Zhang Yu and Tian Yang spoke of a deal, Yu Xinghan was asked to keep watch and provide backup, and he vaguely knew there was a transaction between them regarding Manager Wang!
Looking at the scene before him, a thoughtful look flashed in Yu Xinghan's eyes. He felt a mixture of envy and disgust. "How ruthless, Manager Wang! So many masseuses at once, is he trying to erode Zhang Yu's fighting spirit and soften his resolve?"
"Knowing Zhang Yu, he might not be able to resist!"
"No, I have to find a way to help my good brother!"
Li Xiao, who had also been called in by Zhang Yu for backup last time, was further away and didn't know what had happened. He merely looked at this scene in amazement and secretly noted it in his mind!
"Could this be the secret to Zhang Yu's rapid progress?"
At the same time, Wang Zheng, through the camera provided by Tian Yang, watched Zhang Yu surrounded by the masseuses!
"Massages are good for the physical body!"
Wang inwardly mused, "If Zhang Yu can't become addicted, there's no need to continue arranging this..."
The next moment, Wang watched as the masseuses gradually covered Zhang Yu's body, and noticed the changes in him. His eyes lit up slightly. "There's a reaction."
"Zhang Yu's reacting."
"Hahaha, it seems this trick is effective!"
Under the camera, Zhang Yu lamented to Fox Fairy in his heart, "Alas, to deceive Wang, I circulate my mana, boosting my Qi and blood, pretending to be tempted. The sacrifice is too great!"
Fox Fairy curiously asked, "Zhang Yu, now only I can hear you. Let's be honest, are you really pretending, or..."
Zhang Yu angrily said in his heart, "You've been with me for so long, don't you know me? Could I really be tempted by a few masseuses?"
In the following days, Wang watched Zhang Yu indulging in excessive food and sleep, enjoying massages, and being perfunctory at work. Wang felt that his investment was paying off!
With his astonishing wealth, a little investment could cause a talented nobody like Zhang Yu to fall into the mire. This was in line with his will and in accordance with his cultivation technique!
"This is just the beginning. What will happen to Zhang Yu, who has become accustomed to this, when I cut off his spiritual currency in the future?" Every time he thought of this, Wang's heart was filled with anticipation!
Although the circulation of his "Emperor's Heart" technique was already incredibly smooth, Wang could sense that if he advanced further, his control over this technique and his understanding of his own thoughts would deepen!
"At that time, the speed at which I recover my Dao Heart level will increase again!"
So Wang made another request to Tian Yang!
He wanted to enjoy the sight of Zhang Yu groveling, begging, and wagging his tail before him in the first person!
Thus, several days later, Wang, through Tian Yang's eye socket, saw Zhang Yu standing before him, pleading, "My overtime application..."
As Wang's voice traveled through the Spirit Realm network and into Tian Yang's ears, Tian Yang repeated, "That sixth version of the overtime application still has problems. Take it back and redo it!"
Zhang Yu: "But..."
"But what?"
Wang shouted, "I'm telling you, from today onwards, not only do I want you to leave work on time every day, but I also want you to leave ten minutes early!"
"Without my permission, you can't stay at the construction site for a second longer."
Watching Zhang Yu slink away, Wang felt a burst of pleasure in his heart, feeling that his inner demon was gone!
Tian Yang smiled slightly and said, "How is it, Manager Wang? The deal we agreed on, can it be completed?"
"No problem!" Wang said, "But next, you must continue to make Zhang Yu eat three meals a day, sleep for more than eight hours, leave work early, not a second of overtime, and arrange a few masseuses for him every day!"
"I'll cover all the expenses. I want him to be completely ruined, to completely cut off the possibility of him rising on the path of Immortality!"
At this moment, Wang was confident that it wouldn't be long before he could restore his Dao Heart level to level 20!
He secretly sighed that his investment was worth it, both punishing Zhang Yu and increasing the speed of his Dao Heart recovery!
And Tian Yang, hearing Wang's request, thought to himself, "I'm afraid it won't be long before my friend takes the next step."
