Let the scourge go to the right path, and you make games to reward them?.

Chapter 841 Are You Happy? (12)

"You heartless boss, you're a piece of shit!"

"You local scoundrel, you shit!"

"Outer sect elder, you've got a piece of shit!"

In the spacious cesspool, a large number of non-player characters who had offended the trio were kicked in, screaming in agony.

Standing outside, the trio enjoyed the rapid increase in their attributes and found the game much more fun than before.

Holding long ladles, they happily tapped at the people on the side, tapping whoever wanted to go ashore first, having a great time.

Moreover, after tapping the screen, they absorbed more negative emotions, making the game even more enjoyable for everyone.

"What's wrong with players these days? They're so happy playing with poop?" Qiu Lu asked, puzzled.

"Because it's fun, that's all," Lan said nonchalantly. "Well done, I knew you had this potential."

"Making them play with poop is considered doing a good job? I feel like my job is completely meaningless."

"Isn't that better than being a drug test subject? After the test, you'll have muscle relaxation, incontinence, and have to wear diapers every day while working. Is that fun?"

"...Don't poke me where it hurts!"

After grumbling in dissatisfaction, Qiu Lu looked at Lan with a puzzled expression.

The other party seemed to be in a good mood, and the magical artifact symbolizing that mood was constantly leaping with light, radiating a captivating glow.

After learning that the other party was a star lord, Qiu Lu discovered that his every move had a terrifying demonic quality. The two completely different feelings of admiration and fear were perfectly blended in him, which made Qiu Lu both wary of him and attracted to him.

After creating some distance, Qiu Lu asked, "Lan, what exactly do you want to do?"

"It's nothing. Don't you think this game is pretty interesting? Young man, don't overthink it, just enjoy the game. After being a non-player character for so long, you must have some thoughts about it by now."

At this moment, countless primordial spirits began to think simultaneously, and a large amount of information echoed in the jade slip set, sparking new flashes of thought through constant collisions.

After compiling a large amount of information, he had to say, "It's quite interesting."

Each individual spirit fragment does not serve a single player; instead, it constantly roams through each player's world during spare moments, allowing Qiu Lu to come into contact with at least 100,000 players.

Their fervent attitude made Qiu Lu feel ashamed, but it also showed her their passion.

From the perspective of the rulers in the upper realm, the game seems to have no purpose.

It does not create additional value and cannot generate actual income.

Furthermore, because the game is free, these people don't participate in other entertainment activities, which significantly reduces the income of the lower realm.

No matter how many disadvantages are pointed out, they cannot outweigh one benefit: these players are happy while playing the game.

This feeling was so unfamiliar that when Qiu Lu realized it, he felt that he must have made a mistake.
What right do monks have to be happy?
They must constantly strive, giving their all, squeezing every last drop of energy out of themselves, to acquire resources.

They are climbers on the main road; they cannot have any emotions. What right do they have to be happy?
Thinking of this, and looking at the three people having a great time, Qiu Lu asked in confusion, "Is this all you wanted me to know?"

"Yes, but not entirely. What's your take on player enjoyment?"

"Playing with toys will only lead to the loss of one's ambition," Qiu Lu said disdainfully.

"Then you haven't figured it out yet. Just keep playing with them. I know you'll figure it out eventually."

Qiu Lu wanted to ask something more, but Lan then acted like an ordinary non-player character, no longer interacting with Qiu Lu.

Shaking her head helplessly, Qiu Lu was about to leave when she saw Yun Jianxian rush over and shout to her, "Where are you going? Leave the rest of the cultivation technique behind before you go."

"Didn't I say we'd give it to you after you've made progress?" "We already have."

Seeing that Yun Jianxian's cultivation technique had reached level two, Qiu Lu realized that these three were truly talented individuals.

With a wry smile, Qiu Lu handed the remaining techniques to Yun Jianxian, then her primordial spirit dissipated, and she appeared in another player's world the next moment.

Unlike Yun Jianxian and his two companions, the players in this world are noticeably more serious.

They all had serious expressions and were meticulously practicing the techniques in the game.

Their movements were so precise they seemed devoid of emotion; no event in the game could affect their mood, and they were simply making the most rational choices at the moment.

Looking at these people, Qiu Lu seemed to understand something.

These people are all elites of the Chu family.

Through continuous drug trials, the Chu family has found a relatively gentle acupuncture method that allows incoming elites to strengthen their primordial spirit without causing too many side effects.

Although they will still die, they can fully contribute their value before they die, which will not be in vain for the Chu family's efforts in nurturing them.

Qiu Lu used to not know how to get needles, but she wasn't too opposed to the procedure either.

After all, in his view, since the Chu family paid for the salaries and training costs, it was only appropriate for the Chu family to decide how to use these people.

But now it seems that this method of enticing others to take this path through wages has gone astray and completely alienated cultivators.

The cultivators of today are not cultivators, but a group of handy tools. They haven't been eliminated simply because they are cost-effective and won't resist.

Once it has no value, it will be like a leftover orange stem, casually tossed aside.

Although she felt somewhat sad, Qiu Lu still adhered to her previous principles and found the player who had contacted her.

What's more, coincidentally, the other party was his own younger brother in the Chu family.

However, after receiving the new medicine, the other party became unusually indifferent. When talking to Qiu Lu, he only spoke businesslike and was not as carefree as Yun Jianxian and the others.

"Dazhuang, I just tormented more than a dozen non-player characters, and now I've finally upgraded my cultivation technique to level two. Could you please give me the technique? Skip the dialogue."

Skipping the dialogue, the young man received the cultivation technique, immediately took it, and then rushed off to move bricks.

As they progressed through the strategy guide, they became increasingly busy.

The Chu family has invested too much and spent too many resources to secure first place this time.

The unsold goods in the lower realm have become a scapegoat for the Chu family. If this is not properly resolved, the Chu family will inevitably suffer a loss of favor with the Grand Temple Master.

Therefore, even if some drugs are proven to be problematic, they are still injected into these people without hesitation, turning them into tools that only know how to play games.

Looking at the expressionless young man, Qiu Lu suddenly called out to him, "Are you happy right now?"

The other person stopped expressionlessly, looked at Qiu Lu and asked, "Is it a hidden quest? Wait a minute, let me analyze it."

"...It's alright, you can continue."

After seeing off her expressionless younger brother, Qiu Lu still couldn't understand why Lan had asked her to do something.

But he also knew clearly that he didn't want the game to become like this.

Even monks have the right to be happy.
