Chapter 327: Everyone Misses Manager Wang

**Elementary Qi Meridian Longevity (6/6): The more respiration techniques you master, the faster your mana recovery.**

Seeing the first effect of Qi Meridian Longevity, Zhang Yu's heart stirred slightly.

"Simple and brutal, I must say."

"With the number of respiration techniques I currently command, I wonder how much recovery speed I can boost."

Eager to experiment, Zhang Yu instantly unleashed a torrent of surging Astral Qi within his body, transforming it into numerous arms that reached for the surrounding steel bars.

Ordinarily, wielding Astral Qi for remote operations incurred significant consumption, with the drain intensifying over distance!

Hence, to conserve his magical energy, Zhang Yu channeled his Qi into respiration techniques, allowing the Astral Qi to function within close to medium range.

But this time, in order to deplete his mana rapidly, Zhang Yu propelled his Astral Qi-formed arms to a distance exceeding thirty meters!

In an instant, the cloud-like Astral Qi transformed into eight arms, erupting from his back like colossal pythons, shooting in all directions!

These Astral Qi arms were either constructing walls, bending steel bars, or clearing debris!

Turning Zhang Yu into a one-man army, single-handedly completing tasks across the construction site!

This large-scale, long-range expenditure caused Zhang Yu to feel his mana being rapidly consumed.

"At this rate of consumption, I'll likely exhaust my mana within ten minutes!" With this thought, Zhang Yu switched his linked technique from the Great Scholar's Holy Body to Qi Meridian Longevity!

In an instant, Zhang Yu felt the intricacies of various respiration techniques flooding his mind!

The meridians utilized by each respiration method seemed to open completely at that moment, accommodating the spiritual essence at an increased rate and with greater capacity!

He felt his Dantian transform into a vast black hole, devouring the onrushing spiritual energy in tandem with the circulation of magical energy throughout his body, then expelling it as mana!

The recovery rate of his mana skyrocketed!

"If my full consumption drains my mana in ten minutes, now I can last for at least one hour!"

With this realization, Zhang Yu's heart was moved, and his anticipation for the latter two effects of Qi Meridian Longevity grew, but he lamented that it couldn't be relied upon for mass mana selling.

Zhang Yu mused, "This recovery effect is simply too astonishing. Such a high volume of goods would undoubtedly attract undue attention!"

"However, while bulk shipments are out of the question, selling small quantities daily should be manageable!"

"And there's also Le Mulan's side of things!"

Zhang Yu thought that he could infuse Le Mulan with more mana each day to expedite the enhancement of her mana quality!

"Based on the current progress, with my diligent infusion and her continued investment in enhancing her mana quality, Le Mulan's Profound Frost Mana Meridian should be completed next month!"

As he pondered, Zhang Yu switched Qi Meridian Longevity back to the Great Scholar's Holy Body, as he was still in the developmental stage and needed the Great Scholar's Holy Body to accelerate his cultivation progress and boost his cultivation results, rather than rapidly recover mana!

The next moment, Zhang Yu retracted the Astral Qi and reverted to a medium-range working method, striving to maintain a balance between mana consumption and recovery!

In the days that followed, Wang Shi Zhong never reappeared. He neither launched any offline retaliation, nor threatened a refund, nor came to argue. He didn't even contact them, as if nothing had ever happened!

With the loss of Wang Shi Zhong's financial backing, Zhang Yu could no longer enjoy daily meals and massages. He felt his cultivation speed slowing down significantly, making it hard to adjust!

"Still no news about Benefactor Wang?" That day, Zhang Yu couldn't resist asking Tian Yang the same question once again!

Tian Yang shook his head. "He's blocked me. At least, I can't reach him!"

"According to the information I've gathered, he's cut off from the internet to focus on his studies and cultivation, preparing for graduate school!"

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, feeling like a streamer who had lost his top benefactor. The benefactor had not only stopped watching the stream but also blocked the agent!

Especially since the spirit coins he had earned from Benefactor Wang during that period far exceeded all of his earnings combined since arriving at the University City, making Zhang Yu deeply feel that streaming was a faster way to make money than working!

Similar sentiments had already emerged in Yu Xinghan's mind!

"Still no news about Benefactor Wang?" Seeing Zhang Yu shake his head, Yu Xinghan sighed. He secretly lamented that the days of getting free massages were probably over.

"Oh well, I've accumulated enough material from the massage parlor anyway. It should be enough for a while."

Besides using the Third Eye Divine Power to learn massage skills, Yu Xinghan had also recorded a lot of material for shop exploration videos, spending time each week to edit and upload them!

"My daily life in civil engineering and shop exploration videos have seen a slight increase in views recently, but relying on videos for a living is probably not something that can be achieved in the short term!"

"I still need a job that can earn some quick money right now!"

"However, my massage skills are newly acquired and still need practice!"

With this thought, Yu Xinghan looked at Li Xiao beside him and said, "Want to try out the massage techniques I've learned?" Li Xiao naturally nodded in agreement. He lay down, enjoying Yu Xinghan's awkward massage techniques while chatting casually.

"Xinghan, what kind of eye socket are you using?"

"Tiangong's!"

"What a coincidence, I'm also using Tiangong's eye socket! What about Brother Yu, what kind of eye socket is he using?"

"Ephemeral Demon Eyes!"

"Oh, where are you planning to go for your next construction site? Can I come with you?"

Spending a few days experimenting on Li Xiao or seeking trials from Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan quickly digested the massage skills stolen by the Third Eye Divine Power, integrating the techniques accumulated by the various masseuses over the years!

Then, he contacted Li Xuelian!

Yu Xinghan: Senior Sister, I want to join the dark massage world.

Li Xuelian: You want to practice unlicensed massage? Can you handle it? When did you learn massage?

Yu Xinghan: My skills are definitely not a problem. Senior Sister, you can try it out.

Li Xuelian: It's not that I don't believe you.

Yu Xinghan: Senior Sister, give it a try. Just try it, and you'll know.

Li Xuelian: No need, I'll arrange it for you!

Yu Xinghan looked at Li Xuelian's rejection of his massage invitation with disappointment, but he still breathed a sigh of relief at the thought of joining the dark massage world soon!

"Whether it's civil engineering videos or shop exploration videos, although they both have potential, they are both long-term investments that require long-term accumulation. It may take one, two, three, or four years to see results!"

"So, I still need a job that can earn some quick money!"

And the dark massage world, unlicensed massage, was the solution Yu Xinghan came up with after possessing the Third Eye Divine Power and exploring the shops time and time again!

"Relying on my quickly learned massage techniques, I'll first earn some quick money in the dark massage world. In the future, if the videos become popular, I'll launder my hands and go ashore!"

That day, after practicing his massage techniques on Zhang Yu again, Yu Xinghan started his first order according to Li Xuelian's guidance!

The place was relatively simple, and the quality of the orders arranged for novices was relatively poor. It was an outdoor massage below the 100th floor of University City!

"I'm going out to busy myself with work. You don't have to wait for me for anything today!"

Yu Xinghan: Zhang Yu looked at Yu Xinghan's departing figure and thought to himself, "This guy's massage skills are improving so fast. Could he have used the Third Eye Divine Power to learn them?"

"How many times has he been to the massage parlor?"

Shaking his head, Zhang Yu also stood up, feeling the relaxed flesh, and temporarily left the construction site!

He flickered, and in a moment, he had jumped into the anti-gravity channel, then sped up to the dormitory floor and returned to the dormitory in the blink of an eye!

At the same time, Le Mulan was also on her way back to the dormitory, receiving a message from Zhang Yu in her eye socket.

Zhang Yu: Yu Xinghan is busy with work today, and Senior Sister is also preparing for a competition with her classmates, so they won't be back. Let's hurry up.

Le Mulan: Okay, I'll be there soon.

Just then, a burly man with rough features and dark skin blocked Le Mulan's path, smiling warmly. "Student Le, please give me a chance. I'll definitely satisfy you!"

While Le Mulan frowned, Xuan Ge had already blocked her, coldly snorting, "Get lost!"

The burly man took a few steps back, smiling bitterly. "Student Le, just consider it a favor. I can offer 1 spirit coin."

Seeing the increasingly intense cold light in Xuan Ge's eyes, the burly man sighed helplessly and turned to leave.

Xuan Ge thought to himself, "Le Mulan's mana quality has been getting higher and higher recently. Her innate Ice Mana has gradually attracted the attention of many students, all wanting to cultivate with her to enhance their cultivation!"

"When she goes to the Foundation Establishment Class next semester, it will probably attract even more attention. There will be more and more people wanting to cultivate with her... but..."

Xuan Ge felt the faint chill emanating from Le Mulan's body and thought, "They don't know that the man behind Le Mulan is the more suitable cultivation partner!"

Recalling the rapid improvement in Le Mulan's mana quality these days, Xuan Ge couldn't help but feel envious!

"It must all be Zhang Yu's doing!"

Watching Le Mulan's disappearing figure as she entered the dormitory door, Xuan Ge looked blank. "When will it be my turn to go in!"

Just then, the dormitory door opened again, and Le Mulan's head popped out. "Xuan Ge, can you help me throw out the trash?"

"Sure."

Le Mulan turned around and handed the unpacked medicine to Zhang Yu. "This is the discounted tonic you bought at the School of Pharmacy. I brought it over for you!"

"The medicine isn't urgent, let's start first!"

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, eagerly sitting behind Le Mulan, placing a palm on her back and transferring his mana over!

Feeling Zhang Yu's endless mana flowing over, Le Mulan felt that this time, it was more intense and urgent than ever before, and the amount far exceeded the usual!

After a long time, just as Le Mulan felt that her body was about to reach its limit, Zhang Yu finally withdrew his palm!

Le Mulan couldn't help but say, "So much, is it really okay?"
