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

Chapter 40 This is Acting on Behalf of Heaven (23)

The next day, "Quiz Showdown" became the number one quiz game in the Tianyuan Quiz Dream category, and began to transcend this circle, showing signs of stepping out of the intellectual puzzle circle.

Initially, everyone was drawn here by the power of ten spells.

But after being tormented by the female imps and harassed by answering questions, the gameplay that combines randomness and fun, the novel dream mode of battle royale, and the setting that allows you to kill the female imps quickly made this dream mode go viral, turning it into a series of memes and making the dream mode popular.

If it weren't for the regional lock on the Dream Creation Platform, preventing it from spreading to other cities, this dream could have even stirred up a storm, spreading the quiz and battle royale trend to other places.

Soon, the dream spread to Tianyuan No. 2 High School, also known as Wenhua High School.

As the pride of Tianyuan City, the students of Wenhua High School are the best of the best, the elite of the elite, and enjoy the highest level of treatment from the Tianyuan Cultivator Committee.

Their monthly stipend is 500, but those with excellent grades can receive an additional 500. This 500 is basically available to every student in a cultural high school, which means they have twice as much money each month for spiritual practice.

In addition, the cafeteria at Cultural High School is personally managed by the Tianyuan Cultivator Committee, ensuring that each student can obtain a large amount of carbohydrates and protein for a small amount of money, thus ensuring their adequate nutrition.

The concentration of spiritual energy here is also higher than elsewhere. The spirit-gathering array buried below raises the concentration of spiritual energy here to level three, which is far superior to other areas.

Students admitted to this high school must have a spiritual root rating of 80 or above and sleep less than two hours a day. They must also have extremely strict self-control; boys are not allowed to raise their flags during the day, and girls should save their unpleasant days for after the college entrance examination.

Every time I scored below 90 in academic subjects, it was a disgrace, and no matter how high my scores were in other subjects, I would be ridiculed for a whole year.

Here, grades are everything, scores are everything, and the student ranked first in the grade is the emperor. The strict grading system requires everyone to devote all their energy to studying and not to slack off in the slightest.

Inside the school's teaching building, several huge banners immediately catch the eye: "Entertainment is a crime!"

Wasting time is what catgirls do!

The hardships you don't endure today will become tears you'll have to bear tomorrow!

How can you sleep at your age? Get up and study!

If you don't study today, you'll be a septic tank tomorrow. If you don't study tomorrow, you'll be a septic tank the day after.

Besides the numerous banners, the most eye-catching feature here is the large spellboard.

This board is a leaderboard left by the previous principal. It displays all students' scores and arranges them in order of total score.

In addition, there are progress and humiliation lists, where the bottom 50 students are listed and begin to bear enormous psychological pressure.

Cultural High School does not have a dropout policy, but every year students who cannot bear the humiliation choose to drop out, becoming proud high school dropouts and enjoying the care of society ahead of time.

Today is the day the results for this week will be released.

Standing in front of the board, a beautiful, slender girl with flowing hair looked at the leaderboard in front of her, her indifferent face devoid of any smile.

Beside her, her classmate looked at the rankings with envy, then said to the girl, "Wang Chuyun, you're number one again. And with 430 points! You're only in your second year of high school, how come your grades are better than those of the third year?"

"Play normally."

"Wow, great grades, good looks, great figure, how can someone be so perfect? ​​There's a thousand yuan prize for first place, what are you going to do with it?"

"Save it."

"Okay, I'm going to the library to read. What about you?"

"I'm going to take a walk in the woods."

"Okay, let's go."

After seeing her classmates off, Wang Chuyun walked towards the grove. She shone like a star, her brilliance amplified by her first-place ranking. As she passed, everyone's eyes were fixed on her, only remembering to breathe after she was gone.

She walked alone to a secluded spot in the grove, took out a handkerchief to wipe the water off the stone bench, then pulled up her short skirt, neatly put her legs together in black stockings, and sat down on the stone bench.

Taking a deep breath, she took out her phone and saw the message "[Received 1000.00 yuan]" on it. A three-millimeter smile appeared on her lips.

However, the money was subsequently transferred out, followed by a text message from Fuzhe Hospital: "[Ms. Wang, the automatic deduction has been completed, and 1000 yuan has been credited to your account. Your hospitalization fees have been extended, and the current remaining hospitalization fee is 11.53 yuan. We hope you can pay the fees promptly to avoid delaying the patient's normal treatment.]"

She stared at the text message for a long time, then sighed again.

Fuze is a city district adjacent to Tianyuan, both belonging to Changshengzhou, and is a very prosperous city district.

The medical care there is extremely advanced; many diseases that cannot be treated in Tianyuan can be cured there. The downside is that it is expensive.

Death is expensive.

The basic daily fee is two hundred, and there will be additional costs in case of accidents. However, her sister's congenital deficiency of spiritual energy can only be treated there, and the day of recovery is far away.

Seeing the remaining money, Wang Chuyun bit her lip, then picked up her phone and began searching for part-time jobs where she could earn money.

Wang Chuyun had earned a lot from her previous tutoring job, but the student's grades had improved to the level required for a third-tier university, and the student's family was not wealthy. Therefore, Wang Chuyun resigned voluntarily so that the student could catch their breath.

The job of delivering food also suited her, but since she wasn't a dedicated body cultivator, she needed to burn her mana to increase efficiency, which meant she didn't earn enough.

Some jobs seem easy, but they either require photo verification or are outright scams.

After realizing that she could no longer make money through legitimate means, she covered her face and let out a long sigh.

(If you can't make money through legitimate means, why not take the crooked path?)
A voice suddenly rang out, but Wang Chuyun was not surprised.

She had heard this voice since she was a child, and it had been tempting her with all sorts of things, forcing her down the wrong path.

The first time, she was ignorant and followed the other party's advice and obtained a spiritual root of 90 points, but the price was that her parents were seriously injured.

She obeyed the second time, saving her sister's life, but at the cost of almost being unable to express her emotions normally, and only able to show indifference to others.

The other party never concealed His/Her identity, and after she began cultivating, He/Her name was revealed without hesitation.

Evil god.

These creatures love to parasitize promising cultivators, torturing them through various means to achieve their ulterior motives.

The other party did not reveal their real name, because once the real name was revealed, Wang Chuyun would have the means to counter Him, and could even expel Him.

There are places in the city that can handle this kind of problem, but she has no way to get there, and getting expelled is incredibly expensive, so she'll just have to put up with it.

After a brief, suggestive offer, the evil god whispered, "(You know, the easiest way to make money is to scam those who create fraudulent dreams. You're an expert at that, aren't you? This isn't a temptation I'm offering; it's your own rational choice. Even without my reminder, you would have realized it, wouldn't you?)"

Seeing that Wang Chuyun remained silent, the evil god continued: (You're out of money, and your sister is waiting for it. What's wrong with trying something now? Besides, you're not cheating people out of money; you're acting on behalf of Heaven.)
Hearing this, Wang Chuyun remained silent for a while, then finally nodded slightly.

That's right.

This is acting on behalf of Heaven; I am not wrong.

Then, she opened her phone and pulled up her recent quiz dream, "Quiz Showdown".
