In the illusion.
Ten handsome men with different temperaments, sizes, and unique strengths appeared before Zhang Yu.
With just a glance, one could tell that each of them was a supreme man, possessing unique skills.
However, feeling the meaningful gazes of these ten men and watching them approach step by step, Zhang Yu felt even more terrified and hopeless than facing ten Song Hailongs in the arena.
"Get out!"
"Don't come over here!"
At this moment, Zhang Yu was filled with fear and rage.
He never expected that someone in Kunxu would use such a method to humiliate him and force him to give up the Foundation Establishment Exam.
"Damn it, I also want to give up!"
"I can just take the exam again next year..."
But as soon as this thought arose in his heart, he felt that chill again, and he knew that the ritual would not allow him to give up.
...
Inside the office.
Huang Zichou frowned and said, "Not women, not men, does he want..."
Deng Bingding said indifferently, "It's normal to have no interest in romance; some people just prefer money, power, or authority..."
"But as long as someone has intelligence, there is always a price, their own weaknesses, and their own soft spots."
"It's usually easy to find these in poor people."
Saying that, Deng Bingding casually pointed and said, "Huang Zichou, you will be solely responsible for Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, these two poor people. Eliminate them as soon as possible to avoid wasting the budget."
Huang Zichou was slightly stunned and quickly said, "Uh, it's not..."
In his opinion, these two poor ghosts obviously wouldn't achieve any results. To be solely responsible for their Dao Heart test during this assessment would be doing the most useless work?
But Deng Bingding didn't give Huang Zichou a chance to object, waving his hand to stop him from speaking: "Everyone is working overtime temporarily this time. Time is tight, and the task is heavy. Save any complaints for later."
Deng Bingding instructed again: "Remember, keep an eye on the illusion and don't let them blindly increase the price in the illusion."
"The key is to find the other party's weakness and spend the money wisely; otherwise, randomly throwing money will lead to inflated valuations."
"If any of you are criticized during the review of this Foundation Establishment Exam, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Everyone present knew that the process of the Foundation Establishment Exam would be reviewed. If they randomly evaluated the students, they would be punished.
On the other side, Huang Zichou thought to himself: "Alas, isn't this giving me the worst job in this project? Is Lord Deng deliberately making things difficult for me?"
Although Deng Bingding seemed to casually assign him this task, he knew that a sixth-rank god wouldn't just randomly point.
"Impossible, I put 5,000 yuan into her Favor Talisman."
"The four of us agreed before we came to use 3,000 yuan Favor Talismans together; I've already added 2,000 more..."
He couldn't help but look at the three colleagues beside him, but found that the three meritorious minor gods were all working seriously and attentively, with no intention of speaking.
With a hint of depression, Huang Zichou could only turn his attention to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, cursing his bad luck in his heart.
"What are these two poor ghosts doing taking the exam?"
"Quickly help them finish the test."
"So I can go and test some other good students..."
Just as Huang Zichou wanted to hurry up and eliminate Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.
In various light screens, students had gradually begun to surrender in the Dao Heart test.
Deng Bingding swept his divine power and recorded the things each student accepted when surrendering, according to their respective valuations.
400 million to withdraw.
600 million to withdraw.
320 million to withdraw.
Seeing these numbers that easily exceeded hundreds of millions, Deng Bingding sighed slightly in his heart: "After all, it's an illusion. No one would offer so much in reality just to make them withdraw from the competition."
"The illusion also makes them subconsciously ignore many strange things, just to test the limits in their hearts."
The numbers Deng Bingding recorded were high and low, only because everyone's background, strength, and wealth were different, and the temptations they faced were also different. The time spent in the illusion was very long, and it didn't necessarily mean that those who were valued higher were better than others.
The influence of personal wealth was very significant, which Deng Bingding thought was normal, after all, wealth has always been an important source of immortal potential and immortal determination.
High school freshmen, because they had two chances to take the Foundation Establishment Exam, often performed worse than high school sophomores, which was consistent with the differences between freshmen and sophomores in Dao Heart, mana, and physique.
The next moment, as Deng Bingding's gaze shifted, he saw Yu Xinghan's illusion.
...
In the illusion.
"This is Immortal Cloud High School in Immortal Capital City. What do you think of the environment here?"
"To build this school, the group specially relocated an entire spiritual vein to give the high school students in the first and a half grades the best learning environment."
"Here is the enrollment application."
"As long as you agree, you can study here in the future."
Yu Xinghan took a deep breath of the air at Immortal Cloud High School, feeling that it was the best air he had ever smelled in his life.
But after hearing what the other party said, he gritted his teeth and chose to refuse.
"What about the citizen status of Immortal Capital City? Don't you want to live here?"
"What about a formal job with the Oasis Group? This is something that countless people dream of and strive for their entire lives without getting it?"
Yu Xinghan rejected one request after another, not because he wasn't tempted or didn't want them.
But his rich experience in asking for money told him that this was not the other party's bottom line yet, and he could ask for more.
Until the other party said something that truly shook his heart.
"We can pay to buy you back from True Person Xinghuo."
Hearing these words, Yu Xinghan's expression clearly changed.
"We can pay to help you transfer the contract with True Person Xinghuo to the Oasis Group."
"The new contract will have better treatment and be very relaxed. You will gain true freedom."
"This is the highest offer. If you don't accept this, there's nothing to talk about."
Yu Xinghan didn't know if this was the other party's highest offer.
But he knew that this was a lifebuoy floating in front of him.
On this vast, dark sea, it was the first lifebuoy he had encountered.
If he chose to let go, he might never have such an opportunity again in his life.
So he didn't hesitate to reach out and seize the opportunity before him.
Yu Xinghan: "I... my penalty for breach of contract is very high."
"Everything in this world has a price. Breach of contract penalties don't have an upper limit."
The other party smiled: "You are only in the Qi Refining stage now. In the eyes of True Person Xinghuo, how much are you really worth?"
...
Inside the office.
Deng Bingding watched Yu Xinghan's rapid collapse, thinking to himself: "Hehe, once the true flaws in the heart are exposed, this series of fierce attacks will lead to a complete defeat."
"Well, according to the information, True Person Xinghuo may have invested about 80 million in Yu Xinghan so far."
"Referring to True Person Xinghuo's situation, it's estimated that it will take more than ten times the price to agree to transfer the contract, plus other additional conditions, so the final valuation is billion? Well, given True Person Xinghuo's appetite, making so much money by reselling a Qi Refining disciple and then finding another disciple to train is indeed about right."
Of course, Deng Bingding knew that these were all estimates made by the gods based on the information. If such a thing really happened in reality, the price would definitely be different, but it was enough to use in this test as an assessment.
Deng Bingding thought to himself: "I didn't expect this student from Songyang to be quite resilient."
"But in the end, the weakness is also very obvious."
"Success also comes from the Golden Core, and failure also comes from the Golden Core. True Person Xinghuo can make him, but can also destroy him."
最⊥新⊥小⊥说⊥在⊥六⊥9⊥书⊥吧⊥首⊥发！
"Especially as True Person Xinghuo invests more and more money in him in the future, the constraints on him will inevitably increase."
"This is the biggest flaw in his Dao Heart, and it will inevitably become a huge obstacle on the future path of immortality."
After casually recording the situation of Yu Xinghan and the next few students, she curiously looked at the other two students from Songyang City.
"Haven't those two poor people surrendered yet?"
Just as Deng Bingding was a little surprised, she glanced over.
...
In the illusion.
The temptations Bai Zhenzhen suffered were very similar to those of Zhang Yu.
But because of the sterilization surgery, the illusion didn't arrange various male and female temptations for her.
Living in the most central house in the first and a half floors and enjoying the most luxurious cultivation conditions, Bai Zhenzhen felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult for her to resist.
The illusion and Huang Zichou, who was controlling it from the outside, obviously felt Bai Zhenzhen's temptation.
So, in the illusion, the price slowly began to stop rising, and even indicated that Bai Zhenzhen's asking price was too high and that negotiations would be interrupted.
After some back and forth, Bai Zhenzhen took the initiative to make the final request.
"The conditions you offer me, I want you to offer the same to Zhang Yu."
Since she began preparing for the Foundation Establishment Exam, Bai Zhenzhen had always had a fear in her heart, a fear that she often deliberately ignored and often dared not think about.
That was... if Zhang Yu failed the Foundation Establishment Exam in the end, if he failed the first and second times, and ultimately failed to get into the Top Ten... what would she do?
Once, an opportunity to enter the Genius Class of Wanfa University was placed before Zhang Yu by Zhang Pianpian.
If he chose to stay with her, but failed to get into the Top Ten in the end.
If that were the case, would Zhang Yu regret it?
"In that case, how should I face Yu Zi?"
She could only tell herself that it wouldn't happen. With Yu Zi's performance, plus her true spiritual root, he would definitely pass the Foundation Establishment Exam.
However, after seeing the performances of Ye Lingxiao, Yun Jing, and others in the Foundation Establishment Test, Bai Zhenzhen once again had doubts about whether she could pass the Foundation Establishment Exam.
And now, as long as she sacrificed her own exam opportunity, she could help herself and Zhang Yu win a large amount of immortal resources, greatly increasing the chance of passing the Foundation Establishment Exam... This seemed to be the most rational and profitable decision.
"I can give up the Foundation Establishment Exam, but the conditions you promised must not only be for me, but also for Zhang Yu... and Zhang Yu doesn't have to withdraw from the Foundation Establishment Exam."
...
Inside the office.
Huang Zichou, who was observing the illusion, frowned, with a strange expression on his face.
"It's actually a friend... such a request?"
Such a request in the illusion couldn't be said to be completely absent, but in Huang Zichou's opinion, it was indeed very, very rare.
After all, in the illusions of most people, it was enough to constantly satisfy their own desires, and very few people would think of others.
If he met such a person in reality, Huang Zichou would only curse them as fools in his heart.
But looking at Bai Zhenzhen in the illusion at this moment, Huang Zichou thought to himself that fools have foolish blessings.
Deng Bingding glanced at the final result and recorded: "Bai Zhenzhen, final valuation of 600 million multiplied by 2."
" billion, I didn't expect that a student from Songyang City could reach this number. It's already higher than many high school freshmen in Immortal Capital City."
"It's really rare for her to be able to persist to this point with her background."
"If she can catch up with the students in Immortal Capital City in other aspects next year, she will be an excellent Foundation Establishment seed."
Next, under Deng Bingding's observation, more and more students finished the Dao Heart test. Before she knew it, only the last three were left.
Ye Lingxiao and Yun Jing were not beyond her expectations, only Zhang Yu's persistence made her unable to understand.
Just then, Yun Jing also finished the Dao Heart test.
...
In the illusion.
Yun Jing looked at the contract in front of him, a hint of regret in his eyes.
The Yun family, which looked extremely glorious, had actually been on the decline in recent years.
Especially with the reform of body refining technology, the Yun family failed to keep up due to investment mistakes, and because of the failure of internal struggles within the company, this decline became even more obvious.
Although the assets were still extremely large, the liquid funds were becoming increasingly strained.
After signing this contract, the Yun family would have this liquid funds, which would surely bring them back to life.
The price was that he gave up the high school Foundation Establishment qualification certificate.
"But it doesn't matter, even without the high school Foundation Establishment qualification certificate, I can still get into the Top Ten."
"As long as the Yun family returns to its peak, there will definitely be more Yun family descendants who can get the Foundation Establishment qualification certificate in the future."
...
In the office.
"As long as it's a person, there must be a price, weaknesses, and soft spots."
Deng Bingding's mind was filled with the words she had always said.
"This Yun Jing has been receiving family education since he was a child, but he has unparalleled loyalty and gratitude to the family."
"Hmph, this kind of emotion is good for the family, but it's only an obstacle on the path of immortality."
"Not selfish enough, not self-centered enough, how can one climb to the peak on the path of immortality."
Deng Bingding shook his head and recorded the other party's valuation: "Yun Jing, valuation of 5 billion."
