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

Chapter 43 Do you believe in light? (23)

Over the next two days, Chen Yu read books while continuously refining his dream.

The monstrous, pseudo-human figures in his dreams became increasingly bizarre, and their methods of killing grew ever more outlandish, making one feel his care the moment they entered.

After committing the murder, he incorporated various capitalist quotes into the victim's body, ensuring that the victim's defenses would be completely breached, thus generating negative emotions for him.

Even after passing this stage, there are still player battles waiting for them, where they will be subjected to quizzes and random extraction of negative emotions.

Luo Tong placed the new language pack and question bank into the dream, then asked in confusion, "President Chen, why do you have to make these non-player characters so annoying?"

"This is my strategy. These kinds of social dreams especially need a viral moment to spread, and the female ghosts are that. They're powerful but eerie, and they have foul mouths. You don't feel guilty about beating them up; in fact, it feels great. When you're describing a dream to someone, if you just say it's a quiz dream, what might they say?"

"Hmm... a fraudulent dream?"

"That's right, but what would you think if someone told you that this dream of answering questions could beat up little devils?"

"You'll have to taste it to see if it's salty enough. Oh, I see."

Having figured out the key point, Luo Tong was completely convinced.

As expected of President Chen, he is generous, his theory of dream-making is amazing, and he even has some knowledge in communication. He is truly a polymath.

He's only a high school sophomore now, yet his potential is astonishing. I wonder which aristocratic family he is, and which one his family is grooming for success.

Picking up his phone, he discovered that the number of people online at the same time had reached three thousand, which was nothing short of a miracle in Tianyuan, a place with only ten thousand cultivators.

After watching for a while, he asked, puzzled, "Mr. Chen, I'd like to ask, how do you plan to monetize this?"

Chen Yu, who was looking at the cultivation data, looked up and asked, puzzled, "Monetize? Monetize what?"

"The 'Quiz Showdown' game is here. With so many people playing, you can make money doing almost anything, it's a shame not to. You've already invested nearly 40,000 mana in the early stages, where will the money come from if you don't cash it out?"

Seeing the puzzled Luo Tong, and the three bespectacled men who were also puzzled, Chen Yu knew that the time had come.

A company that doesn't make a profit but keeps spending money is definitely problematic, unless the boss is a rich fool.

As a talented individual born in 93, Chen Yu is definitely not a fool, so there must be something wrong with him.

One must not let others know the effects of one's own martial arts, otherwise it will definitely bring trouble upon oneself.

But it doesn't matter, he had already prepared for this moment and thought of what to say.

Chen Yu closed the book in front of him, said nothing, but stood up and walked to the window.

Although it was pitch black outside the window, it didn't matter whether you could see it or not at this moment; the atmosphere was just right.

After staring at the dark window for a long time, until Luo Tong was about to speak, Chen Yu finally said, "Luo Tong, do you believe in light?"

"that……"

"I believe, I've believed since I was a child. Even though the future is dark and the path is muddy, I still believe."

"Mr. Chen..."

"I can't go into too much detail about my background. If you investigate now, you'll only find that it's a forgery. I can only say that my funding is related to the Tianyuan Cultivator Committee."

After all, it was the Tianyuan Cultivator Committee that gave him the Awakening Liquid, and his source of funds was his own cultivation body, so there was no problem in saying that he was related to the Tianyuan Cultivator Committee.

That's how lies work; everything I say is true, but it still manages to mislead you. Luo Tong and his group are intelligent people, but even the smartest people have their blind spots.

After all, who would doubt a boss who is willing to pay them a high salary?
For the sake of the salary, they would fill in the gaps in Chen Yu's statement with their own imagination, devise their own strategies, and then complete the logical loop in their minds.

Things unfolded as Chen Yu had predicted.

When he mentioned that he might be connected to the Tianyuan Cultivator Committee, Luo Tong suddenly realized: "The revitalization plan!"

what is that?
Although Chen Yu didn't know, he nodded slightly, signaling Luo Tong to continue.

Upon receiving confirmation, Luo Tong excitedly said, "The revitalization plan is a long-term plan formulated by the Tianyuan Cultivator Committee..."

"Keep it simple!"

"...It means getting everyone to work hard to serve Tianyuan, thinking about how to get Tianyuan out of its current predicament, and at the same time supporting some capable cultivators to motivate everyone to work together."

After hearing the explanation, Glasses suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "So that's how it is! No wonder you're so rich, boss! Is 'Quiz Showdown' also part of the revitalization plan? What are our goals? To crack down on those fraudulent quiz dream games? Or to monetize them and give benefits to Tianyuan cultivators?"

"I think so," Chen Yu nodded.

"Then I understand!" Luo Tong looked at Chen Yu with admiration, and the more he looked at Chen Yu, the more he felt that Chen Yu was not simple.

At such a young age, he already possesses such a mysterious background; no wonder I had never heard of him before.

In that sense, cashing out would truly be an insult to this remarkable capitalist.

The other party carries a mission and shoulders the heavy responsibility of making Tianyuan great again. He even does many things personally, which is simply amazing.

The thought that he could be engaged in such a noble cause and receive such a high salary filled him with a sense of honor, prompting him to excitedly say, "President Chen, I will repay you even if I have to work like a slave!"

"Stop being a beast of burden, just be a decent human being."

"Okay, then I'll be your beast of burden from now on!"

"...Alright, at least it's a person now."

Seeing the four excited people, Chen Yu nodded, knowing that he had fooled them.

After that, as long as you continue to pay them, they will become your most loyal supporters, and you will have nothing to worry about after that.

After stretching his arms, Chen Yu said, "Alright, I have exams to take later, so I'll leave the rest to you guys. See you later."

"Take care, Mr. Chen."

As soon as he stepped out the door, Chen Yu rushed back to distribute this month's wages.

Patting Luo Tong's shoulder, whose eyes were red-rimmed, Chen Yu said, "I might be away for a few days, so I'll pay you your wages in advance. Oh, and remember to write down anything you want in the suggestion book by the door. And make sure to get reimbursed for any expenses you incur. Don't skimp on yourself!"

"President Chen, I will be loyal to you for life!"

Looking at the extra 840 points of mana in his phone account, plus the scattered mana Chen Yu had previously released, Luo Tong saw for the first time that his accumulated mana could reach four figures.

He looked at the others and saw determination and hope in their faces.

At that moment, they also believed in the light.
