Chapter 571: Chapter 512: Zhang Yu’s Golden Core Simulation Score
As the flickers of light and shadow appear before his eyes, a black and golden scroll slowly unfurls in Zhang Yu’s gaze, an ancient aura, a noble color, like a mysterious world opening up before Zhang Yu.
"Welcome to use Golden Core Direct Guide."
"Golden Core Direct Guide is a famous free Golden Core guidance tool, offering free Golden Core benchmarking, cultivation guidance, cultivation loophole detection, magic remains testing, artifact spirit optimization, energy-saving cooling, smart upgrades, and other functions."
"Would you like to use the Golden Core Direct Guide premium version?"
Looking at the two options below, one was to log in directly with an existing premium account, the other was to purchase premium permissions, Zhang Yu could only click the × in the upper right corner.
The next moment, the previously ancient aura and noble color disappeared entirely, and the original black and golden scroll turned into something resembling a workbook, with seemingly some features also disappearing.
How did it feel to Zhang Yu? It’s like a secret manual in hand transforming from the Nine Yang Divine Skill to an ordinary Long Fist.
But Zhang Yu didn’t mind, ugly is ugly, fewer features are just fewer; making him pay was impossible.
Just as he opened the workbook, a notification popped into his gaze: Detected an intrusion request for permission, would you agree? Yes/No
Golden Core Direct Guide: Detected that the magic remains have not yet been granted permission, please agree to get more accurate results
Of course, Zhang Yu was unwilling to let the other party detect his magic remains, so he directly chose ’No,’ and then clicked the biggest button on the workbook to start the Golden Core simulation benchmark.
During this detection process, the Golden Core Direct Guide continuously popped up notifications, requesting access to various parts of Zhang Yu’s body.
Zhang Yu naturally clicked ’No’ one by one.
As a result, one registration box after another popped up, requiring Zhang Yu to fill in many details about his body, including the magic remains, cultivation techniques, and basic data.
If relevant school certificates could be provided, this data would also be recognized.
So Zhang Yu filled them in one by one, of course, he knew too many cultivation techniques, so he only filled in a small portion.
Especially the black techniques like Wuliangxin Nefa Shen, which definitely shouldn’t be counted.
And things like the Chain Technique Map, Tao Seed Spectrum, naturally couldn’t be entered either.
As Zhang Yu completed the forms, the final result appeared: You scored 81372 in the Golden Core simulation benchmark, surpassing 86% of students [Click to share]
Golden Core Direct Guide: During the benchmarking, 37 cultivation deficiencies were found in you, please remedy them as soon as possible [Click to fix with one click]
Curious, Zhang Yu clicked in, and found issues like deficiencies in the hand magic remains, organ magic remains, spinal bone magic remains, etc., each followed by a pile of recommended magic remains.
Clearly, due to the lack of magic remains in Zhang Yu’s body, he lost quite a few points in this aspect.
Additionally, there were recommendations for surgery to improve mana circulation speed, Dantian configuration optimization, muscle response speed optimization, a bunch of proposed surgical, pharmaceutical, and Taoist skill solidification solutions.
Then, there were recommendations like cultivation technique optimization, updates, and upgrades, suggesting he use updated techniques, upgraded techniques, and cultivate different types of techniques to make up for deficiencies in certain aspects.
Looking at these cultivation loopholes, Zhang Yu, who originally felt good, suddenly had a feeling that his whole body was full of flaws.
"But I do indeed have much room for improvement."
Zhang Yu thought to himself: "Military-level techniques, military-level magic remains, military-level magic treasures... not only are they needed to win the top ten leagues, but also for future Golden Core establishment."
"When I win the top ten leagues, I must complete my credits in advance and graduate a few years early."
"The sooner I complete these, the sooner I win the top ten leagues, the sooner I graduate, the sooner I break through to Golden Core..."
And as he closed the benchmarking results, the Golden Core Direct Guide displayed a leaderboard again.
"Golden Core Seed Leaderboard? Updated daily?"
Looking at this leaderboard, Zhang Yu was intrigued: "This is the Foundation Establishment stage, the current Golden Core simulation benchmark leaderboard?"
He glanced through it, finding there was a true Golden Core leaderboard as well, a scoreboard for the Golden Core Realm, but that was still a bit far for Zhang Yu, and he wasn’t interested in looking.
"It should have known that I’m a university student at the Foundation Establishment Stage, so it automatically showed me the Golden Core Seed Leaderboard."
Zhang Yu instinctively looked at the first place: "The first place is from Sky Demon University? 510,000 points?"
"The second place is from Wanfa? From the Taoist Skills Department, Dao Qiankun, 509,881 points, that’s just a little short of the first place, right?"
Zhang Yu continued to look, almost all the top places on the Golden Core Seed Leaderboard were occupied by students from the top ten universities.
He tried to click into the second place, Dao Qiankun, to see if he could view some of the information.
But clicking in only showed that the other person was from Wanfa University’s undergraduate Taoist Skills Department, with similar basic information.
Under the avatar of the other person, details like 3 cultivation deficiencies, 1,233 cultivation change alerts, over 99 technique cultivation, seven sets of magic remains equipment, Spirit Root details, news, etc., all were inaccessible.
Golden Core Direct Guide: Please purchase premium service to view more information
Zhang Yu thought to himself: "I just won’t buy it."
Continuing to scroll down, he soon saw himself after the 500th rank.
Of course, it wasn’t because he ranked over 500, but because the Golden Core Seed Leaderboard only recorded the top 500, with Zhang Yu showing as 500+, not yet entering the Golden Core Seed Leaderboard.
As for exactly where Zhang Yu ranked, clearly even he couldn’t see at the moment.
While Zhang Yu was checking the leaderboard, notifications popped up occasionally in his gaze.
Golden Core Direct Guide: Found 37 cultivation deficiencies [Click to view]
Golden Core Direct Guide: Your friend’s score might be higher, pay to view others’ simulation benchmarks
Golden Core Direct Guide: Detected that sensitive magic remains are not encrypted
Zhang Yu couldn’t help but frown slightly: "Unencrypted?"
Fu Ji reminded: "No need to pay attention, they’re tricking you into granting eye access permissions."
"Your vision has been encrypted by Zhang Pianpian, with her talisman cultivation, there should be no problem in this regard."
Looking at the Golden Core Direct Guide still popping up notifications from time to time, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but curse: "This crappy thing talks too much."
At this moment, a notification appeared, catching Zhang Yu’s attention.
Golden Core Direct Guide: Click to share benchmark data and receive an exclusive skin
...
While Zhang Yu was running the Golden Core simulation benchmarking.
In the depths of the Spirit Realm, within a small group that outsiders could hardly probe.
Zhang Pianpian, the fourth in the Artifact Refining class, said: It’s really surprising that someone has transferred over
Class fourth Zhang Pianpian: This Zhang Yu has been studying Civil Engineering for three years now, can he really understand the Artifact Refining Department?
Zhang Pianpian said with some resentment: And coming in, he’s already ranked 48th in the whole department, 2nd in class, what’s the deal with that?
Zhang Pianpian: Can those comprehensive scores from the Civil Engineering Department even be converted over?
Zhang Pianpian: This Zhang Yu should have started over from freshman year, how can he transfer into our junior year?
Another Artifact Refining student named Rong Xuan said: I don’t know what the director is thinking, actually bringing a Civil Engineering student over
Class 8th Rong Xuan: I feel like the whole class group chat has a stench of dirt now
Rong Xuan: Sigh, I don’t even want to speak in that group anymore
4th Zhang Pianpian: But you just welcomed him in the group
Rong Xuan: You have to save face for the Magnetic Pole True Monarch
4th Zhang Pianpian: An experimental subject paired with a Divinity Transformation Yin Artifact in the lab, playing around in the lab is one thing, but bringing it to the Artifact Refining Department, I heard this guy has only one eye relic, nothing else, it’s really... sigh...
At this moment, the class’s first-ranking spoke for the first time.
Su Yuni: Be careful with your words
4th Zhang Pianpian: I’m just standing up for everyone
Zhang Pianpian: Why are so many people in our class, with the Artifact Refining Department investing so much money for three years, now being overshadowed by a stinky Civil Engineering student?
The small group immediately erupted in discussion, most of them having strong opinions about bringing Civil Engineering student Zhang Yu into the Artifact Refining Department.
At this moment, the 8th-ranking Rong Xuan said: Quickly look in the class group, Zhang Yu just posted his Golden Core simulation benchmark
Zhang Yu: I scored a high score of 81372 in the Golden Core simulation benchmarking, surpassing 86% of students [click to share]
This is already the highest Golden Core benchmark in the class.
Instantly, the gossip-filled small group fell silent.
After a long time, Zhang Pianpian slowly said: How could his score be so high? Could it be fake?
Someone said: He has certification, it shouldn’t be fake, and faking it would only embarrass himself
The first in class, Su Yuni said: I checked his benchmark results using my exclusive membership
Su Yuni: Mainly, the military-level technique Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power added a lot of points
Su Yuni: Secondly, because of his solid foundation and numerous cultivation techniques
Su Yuni: If he could equip more Magic Remains, the score could be even higher
4th Zhang Pianpian: So that’s it
Zhang Pianpian: With the simple content and lack of competition in the Civil Engineering Department, he got the military-level technique early
Zhang Pianpian: But no matter how much the Mountain Shifting Divine Power adds, it doesn’t help with refining skills
Zhang Pianpian: He might be showing off now, but when the final exams come, his rankings in all aspects will definitely drop
Though most of the Artifact Refining class shared similar thoughts, they couldn’t openly mock Zhang Yu anymore in the face of his higher Golden Core simulation score, only planning to laugh at his artifact refining results at the end of the semester.
What does a Civil Engineering mutt who spent three years on construction sites know about Artifact Refining?
At this moment, first-ranking Su Yuni said to 4th Zhang Pianpian: When will you come to help out at my company?
Zhang Pianpian: I still have some matters to consider
Su Yuni: It’s fine, there’s always an open position here
Zhang Pianpian knew that Su Yuni’s magic treasure service company was always engaged in second-hand magic treasure recycling and maintenance work.
Though joining her company might mean losing a lot in middleman fees, it could lead to more jobs and effectively maintain
Zhang Pianpian then contacted Ye Xingli, asking: Senior Sister, are you still taking orders for the Dragon Vein Treasure Casting Technique?
...
After completing the Golden Core Direct Guide, Zhang Yu quickly returned to the lab to continue his cultivation technique practice.
Real flames shot out continuously, rising and sinking unstably with his Taoist skill changes, burning the second-hand magic treasure in front of him.
Several hours later, the color of the real flames changed, floating around Zhang Yu like agile swimming fish.
Fire Control Divine Mirror Level 10
Zhang Yu felt a surge of energy, thinking that this refining genius’s third cultivation technique had finally reached Level 10, bringing him one step closer to completing the Chain Technique Map.
"Cultivating the Fire Control Divine Mirror is too troublesome, each time I refine a second-hand magic treasure it’s a cost, and if the refinement quality is poor, selling it becomes difficult, it’s cost me a lot of money."
"With the Fire Control Divine Mirror at Level 10, it should be easier to sell refined magic treasures or sell services."
At this moment, Zhang Yu received a message.
Ye Xingli: Junior Brother, are you still taking orders for the Dragon Vein Treasure Casting Technique?
