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

Chapter 28 is just cattle and horses
When the idea of ​​playing in a competition came up, Chen Yu wanted to cheer himself on.

Tianyuan doesn't have many competition events, mainly because Tianyuan's income is not high, and competitions are a money-consuming activity.

The competition venue costs money, hiring staff costs money, the competition prizes cost money, everything costs money.

Since the spirit stones in Tianyuan were all mined out, the new cultivator committee had no money at all, so they couldn't organize the competition and could only scavenge things from the old warehouse to barely make ends meet.

If a dream-based competition is used, many previous expenses can be saved, but the referees, competition rewards, and related dream elements will cost money.

However, precisely because no one else is working on this, it is Tianyuan's untapped market.

As long as you're willing to spend money, you can promote your dreams, distribute your positive magical power as rewards, and also torment the participants with various competition mechanisms.

genius!

Once the specific details were decided, the next step was to determine the competition format.

Although there is a ready-made dream world called "Body Cultivation" available now, it is clearly not a good choice.

This dream has become a powerful tool for racking up points at Tianyuan High School. When used in duels, other students can only praise the student for dedicating themselves to Tianyuan's educational cause and spending money to promote their educational philosophy, saying they are truly too kind.

Such a great person deserves a big thumbs up!
At that time, I will be overwhelmed with positive emotions, and I will be locked in the dark room again and tortured severely by Teacher Zhao.

"Hmm... what should I do?"

"What should we do?"

Turning his head, Chen Yu saw the rough-around-the-edges Ma Daqiang standing beside him, holding his and Chen Yu's homework notebooks in his hand.

Shaking his homework, he asked sheepishly, "Godfather, I want to ask if there's something wrong with your Chinese homework today?"

Are you questioning my intelligence?

"I'm questioning your morality. In the essay question, why did you say, 'Lao Tzu's writings are only five thousand words long, but Lao Tzu is still the ancestor of Taoism'? Isn't that too arrogant?"

"...I am a human being."

"I know you're a person, but we're talking about arrogance right now. Don't use too much profanity in your homework, or you'll get your ethics score docked."

Letting out a long breath, Chen Yu told himself not to communicate with people who lack intelligence, and then asked gently, "So, what do you think should be done to change this?"

"Let me take your place, it's gentler that way."

"...Then let's go."

After seeing Ma Daqiang off, Chen Yu felt that his patience had improved a bit.

However, Ma Daqiang wasn't entirely useless; at least he made Chen Yu aware of which competitions he should be competing in.

That's a subject knowledge competition, and Xiao Chen will set the questions!

More precisely, it's an intellectual competition.

The competition is held in rounds of forty people. Once there are enough people, the car will start. Everyone will be randomly assigned ten questions, and those who answer correctly within the time limit will advance to the next round.

After two consecutive rounds, if there are still players remaining, they will need to take turns answering questions. The difficulty of the questions will gradually increase until a final winner is determined.

As long as the rewards for this competition are set very high, my positive mana will be cleared away as soon as it appears, and I won't have to worry about this kind of thing in the future.

Thinking about this, Chen Yu sighed with relief that he had finally found a good way to avoid this suffering. However, when he opened the Dream Maker platform, preparing to create a simple version for testing, he discovered an important problem.

The maximum reward for a single match in the Dream Realm can be set at ten points of mana.

Chen Yu sent this question to the Tianyuan Cultivator Committee, and they quickly provided an explanation.

Chen Yu, who had two wonderful dreams, was a key focus of the Tianyuan Cultivator Committee, so his questions would be specially marked and responded to quickly.

【Dear Mr. Chenguang, your beginner dream weaver.】

[We have received your inquiry. This issue stems from previous scams perpetrated by demonic cultivators who used dreams to defraud players, inducing them to transfer large sums of mana or gamble for profit. This resulted in many cultivators incurring enormous mana debts. They must now repay these debts with their mana, but the interest on these debts is higher than the amount of mana they originally cultivated.]

Many cultivators were thus forced to pawn their spiritual roots and leave in despair.

In order to maintain a stable number of cultivators in Tianyuan, we have to limit the reward to 10 mana points. We apologize for the inconvenience.

After reading the monks' committee's reply, Chen Yu could understand it, but it was unlikely that he would fully understand it.

He covered his head, lamenting that those damned demonic sects had no idea of ​​the importance of sustainability and exploiting resources to the point of exhaustion, and now they had completely blocked his path.

He opened the skill panel, then accessed the detailed interface and discovered that the students from the Fourth High School were still acting crazy, and after they finished, they were giving themselves positive emotions.

The students at the sports high school are still being tortured, but after being tortured, they give themselves positive emotions.

Adding the two together, and taking into account the cooling-off period for emotions, I can now get about 6,000 positive emotions every day, which translates to 60,000 yuan.

"It costs 60,000 a day, you might as well kill me."

Moreover, the maximum amount of one's emotional capacity is 100,000. Although it can be withdrawn in advance, the total amount remains the same, which is the amount for sixteen days.

In these sixteen days, he had to cultivate himself, have dreams, and find ways to spend money, so time was very tight.

Therefore, it is necessary to delegate some of the work to others so that I can have an easier time.

Remembering his previously registered company, Chenguang Co., Ltd., Chen Yu knew he would need to hire people.

The hired staff can help me spend money and create repetitive materials in my dreams, thus freeing up my time to work on the key parts and giving me time to cultivate myself.

Thinking of this, he immediately put away his phone, asked Teacher Zhao for leave, and then left the school immediately, heading straight to the job market.

The Tianyuan Talent Market was originally named the Tier 1 Cattle and Horse Circulation Center. Later, after the new Tianyuan Cultivator Committee came to power, they felt that the name was not good, so they changed it to Talent Market.

Some monks are not highly educated and are not accepted by other cities, so they can only find odd jobs in this place to make a living.

Those who cannot find work can only meditate and absorb spiritual energy at free spiritual energy points, becoming spiritual energy miners for others and living a life where they cannot make ends meet.

As soon as Chen Yu stepped into the room, the high school graduates immediately looked up expectantly, like quails that had smelled a scent.

But when they saw that it was a high school student who had entered, they lowered their heads in disappointment and continued to sit still to reduce the consumption of their magical energy.

Each of the cattle and horses here has only one mat, and can only sit cross-legged; they can't do anything else.

They stood with their heads down, holding red papers on their heads, listing their education, scores, and strengths in various subjects, for selection.

Although they are called talented people, they all know that they are just cattle and horses.
