I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 124 The world is so big, let's go see it (66)

Admiring Bai Ze's appearance, Wang Ma remarked that he had never seen such a domineering being.

It is ten meters long and three meters high. Its white fur is without a single impurity, and its intelligent eyes carry a hint of playfulness and amusement.

Powerful, intelligent, rational yet gentle, this is simply the ideal partner for Wang Ma—a great buddy to chop down trees, drink, fight, and boast together.

"So, you're my Ma Si Da?"

"What's that?" Bai Ze asked, puzzled.

“I am Wang Ma, and you are my fourth partner, so we are Ma Si partner.”

"No, I just feel like this way of addressing me isn't quite right."

Soon, a cloud of smoke rose from the Bai Ze in front of them, and its enormous body shrank instantly, turning into a little girl the size of a palm.

Wang Ma panicked when he saw how small Bai Ze was.

"Wait a minute, where's my Bai Ze? My huge Bai Ze! Did you eat it?"

"Have some common sense, okay? No matter what, you can't eat that big. Do you understand the trial version? What you just saw was a limited-time trial version of Bai Ze. This is the normal Bai Ze."

"How can I make your normal state so large?"

"How would I know? All I know is how to eat. But let's keep going, maybe we'll find out soon."

"Alright! Let's charge!"

"Although I feel there's something wrong with the motive, let's just leave it at that."

Wangma's dream adventure has begun.

With the little Bai Ze in their arms, they began to capture basic alien beasts in their dreams, build their own base, create production lines, and acquire their own slaves.

Wang Ma's goal was to make Bai Ze bigger, so instead of building production lines like Boss Liang did, he focused on advancing the plot.

The main storyline of "Shan Hai Jian Wen Lu" is not particularly difficult. As long as the monsters players have are strong enough and they make some reasonable combinations, they can progress smoothly.

In the main storyline, players only need to explore twelve areas, find the way to activate the bosses in different areas, and then defeat the bosses.

Once the leader is defeated, the true Demon King will appear, possessing power reaching level 80, making him an absolute nightmare for players.

However, the dream doesn't end after the demon is defeated. More and more powerful leaders will invade reality. At this point, players will need to cooperate and compete with each other to defeat the demons that have invaded reality.

Different leaders have different characteristics. Some can be defeated by overwhelming a large number of monsters, but others can only succeed by using clever combinations.

The problem is that matching outfits also requires a bit of luck.

The monsters with the three gold characteristics never appeared, and the main storyline was stuck on the leader, Suzaku.

The Vermilion Bird has the characteristics of "becoming stronger the more it fights" and "recovering health upon killing," which renders the Demon Sea tactic completely useless.

The more monsters she faces, the stronger she becomes. She can also recover health after defeating a monster, so only elite squad tactics can be used.

After being wiped out by Suzaku once again, Ohma temporarily left the dream world.

It feels like ages since I last left the dream world.

Moreover, even after leaving the dream world, you can still catch monsters nearby, and the logging work only requires you to complete the prescribed quota.

The sunlight today was a bit too bright, and Wang Ma was not used to it.

As Wang Ma stepped into the large wine vat after a long absence, he saw a nine-tailed fox standing at the door. Upon seeing Wang Ma, the fox leaped into the air and transformed into a palace-dressed girl, timidly saying, "Young Master Wang, it's been a long time."

The other person's voice was soft and charming, and the tail behind them swayed gracefully like seaweed, making one unconsciously want to have a few more drinks.

However, Wang Ma's mind was full of Suzaku's fighting style. After greeting everyone, he sat down in a chair and then summoned Bai Ze.

This scene would have attracted attention a few days ago, but now everyone has their own exotic beast companions and has become accustomed to it.

After selecting a virtual fruit wine for Bai Ze, Wang Ma asked in confusion, "Without the Three Golds, you can't beat the Vermilion Bird?"

"We might really not be able to beat them." Bai Ze sat at the table opposite him, arms crossed, and said with difficulty. "Look, we've been catching monsters these past few days, using up all the free Demon-Subduing Orbs every day, and even set up a Demon-Subduing Orb production line to produce extra Demon-Subduing Orbs for ourselves, but why can't we catch Sanjin?"

"Luck is also a part of strength. Maybe we're just really unlucky," Bai Ze said helplessly.

Sighing, Wang Ma didn't know what to do.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Ze asked, "How about we watch the video and see if we can find a solution?"

"It can't be found. Many video websites have cooperation with the Xu Group, so they don't dare to upload 'The Record of Mountains and Seas' on them. If they do, it will be banned."

"Capital is truly terrifying," Bai Ze sighed helplessly.

Since the import of external equipment began in Sangmu City, the "Records of Mountains and Seas," which are tied to external equipment, has become unstoppable in its popularity.

When the pub owner put up the display equipment to attract customers, its beautiful model sparked a series of trends, making people linger.

Which tavern has found a new monster, which tavern has a new skin—these are all things that tavern enthusiasts love to talk about.

The tavern owner was happy to use this as a form of advertising, and even hired people to run all over Sangmu City and search for rare monsters in the deep mountains and forests.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and the Xu Group discovered the changes here.

The sniping began.

Due to trade restrictions, they banned all video websites from discussing "The Records of Mountains and Seas," and the sparks that had just been ignited were extinguished by the Xu Group.

External devices are still being sold, and many people are still playing Dreamland, but a monthly production of 70,000 units makes it difficult to cover every region.

Although the external devices were snapped up as soon as they left the factory, compared to the entire dream market, the current share is still too small and is constantly being fragmented, making it difficult to form a unified voice to resist the blockade by the Xu Group.

Just as Wang Ma was racking his brains about what to do, a can of beer was brought up.

Looking up, Wang Ma saw Boss Liang sitting down beside him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Without the Three Golds, I cannot defeat the Vermilion Bird."

"I see. The Vermilion Bird is a fire-attribute divine beast, and most of the beasts in the Mulberry Wood region are wood-attribute. Without the Three Metals, it's indeed impossible to defeat them. However, you can ask someone to buy a water-attribute beast."

“That won’t do,” Wang Ma refused decisively. “This is a journey that I’m traveling with Ma Si, and I don’t want someone else to do it for me.”

"You're really stubborn, but I do admire that about you. I happen to have a job for you, would you be interested in helping me out?"

"What kind of work?"

"Let's go to Tianyuan, investigate the situation there, and record some videos. There are rumors that Tianyuan has a large number and variety of exotic beasts, including some that are not seen outside, and there are also various interesting ways to play. It's just that due to the trade restrictions, it's difficult for outsiders to see them. I'll cover the expenses for this trip. What do you think?"

"Why me?" Wang Ma asked, puzzled.

"Of all the people I know, you are the most morally upright."

"Seventy-five is tall? You don't know many good people."

"I suppose so," Boss Liang laughed.

After all, they are all demonic cultivators.

However, when Wang Ma heard about Tengen, he felt an endless longing in his heart.

What kind of scenery would the place that produced "My Factory" and "Travels in the Mountains and Seas" have?

The world is so big, I really want to see it.

Looking at Bai Ze again, Wang Ma finally made up his mind.

"Let's go, Bai Ze, let's go to Tianyuan."

"Okay," Bai Ze said with a gentle smile.
