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

Chapter 92 Scare yourself

Although Zhang Yun said Chen Yu was very powerful, Xu Zilong was not too afraid of him.

Looking around, the world is incredibly vast, and geniuses are as numerous as fish crossing a river, but in the end, they all come to my aid.

In this world, the most powerful thing is not fists, magic, spiritual roots, or magical artifacts.

It is not a prosthetic body, not a pill, not a supernatural power, not a puppet, and not even a star lord.

It's money!

It's capital!
With sufficient capital, one can hire talent, create dreams, and thus influence the inclinations of the Star Lord.

Influencing the Star Lord's inclinations is equivalent to influencing the laws of Heaven, causing the entire world to develop in the direction they desire.

No matter how talented someone is, they will inevitably be used by capital, and eventually, because money becomes part of capital, they will end up in the position that capital has arranged for them.

Therefore, even if Chen Yu is as remarkable as Zhang Yun said, he will ultimately only become part of the capital.

Even if he couldn't bring the other party under his command, there wasn't much he, a genius, could do.

Geniuses who score 90 points are hard to find, but people who score 85 points are plentiful.

A hundred people who score 85 points or higher only earn a combined monthly salary of 500,000. How can you, a genius, compete with us for 500,000?

So, don't rush to find him. First, give him a little shock with his resources, and you'll be able to win him over.

Thinking of this, Xu Zilong smiled slightly and said, "Let's discuss this Inquiry Day. The Inquiry Day tests one's Dao heart, but our Xu Group's goal has never been the Dao heart. The winning dream will be digested and absorbed by the Fire Virtue Star Lord and become a part of him. Therefore, we should take this opportunity to input some of our ideas into the Fire Virtue Star Lord, which is the legalization of the Descendant Loan."

"What is a 'descendant loan'?" Principal Liu of the sports high school asked in confusion.

"Didn't I tell you? Oh, you're not in our discussion group. Simply put, parents can use their children's future income as part of a loan. The more children the parents have, the higher the loan amount. If the parents die and can't repay the loan, then the children must repay it. To repay the loan, cultivators must keep having children, which can also increase the currently declining birth rate."

Xu Zilong tapped the table and continued, "Remember, our opponents are not the dreams of other schools, but the dreams of other groups throughout the entire Changsheng Prefecture. Such opportunities to openly absorb dreams are rare, and we must seize them."

Principal Liu's jaw dropped; he found it unbelievable.

Have external lending platforms developed to the point where I no longer recognize them?
Recalling everything he experienced in "The Immortal Clan," he was horrified to discover that if the Descendant Loan were legal, everything he had gone through would be in vain.

There is no longer affection between parents and children, only hatred. After all, you brought me into this terrible world just to help you pay off your loans, what debt have you done me in return?
After explaining, Xu Zilong calmly said, "The dream world for Moral High School is ready. For this dream world, we invited a famous dream architect from Changsheng Prefecture. The entire dream world cost seven million, which is a relatively large investment recently. You can experience it later and then tell me your thoughts. You can also tell me how your school's dream world is going."

Carrying the dream that Xu Zilong had given them, Principal Liu hesitated for a moment before leaving, looking at Xu Zilong and saying, "Mr. Xu, I..."

"I know what you're thinking, that it's too cruel. But you have to understand, if we don't do it, plenty of others will. Descendant Loans are a blue ocean market in Changsheng Prefecture. Others have tried it, but they all failed because they didn't get the support of the Star Lord. So, for the sake of the group's development, we must take this place."

"……I see."

"As long as you know."

With the dream etched in his mind, Liu returned to his room and stared blankly at the dream on his phone.

He sat there until evening, his eyes glued to his phone, but his mind was on his children.

While in the car, he repeatedly savored "The Immortal Clan," finding a different charm each time he read it.

In his heart, those people had truly become his children and grandchildren, and the thought that they would hate him because of the loan to his descendants kept him up at night.

Especially after learning that Chen Yu was planning to create an infinite mode and even some resurrection dungeons, his concern for his children deepened.

Putting himself in others' shoes, he realized that a lot of family affection would disappear because of this loan, and he felt like an executioner, cutting into the already fragile family relationships.

The review of "The Immortal Clan" is correct; I am indeed an indecisive person.

He was neither thoroughly bad nor courageously good, destined to be just an ordinary guy. But today, he decided to be brave.

Even if it might cost him his job, he wanted to be brave for once!
At worst, I'll get fired. If I do, I'll just go work in a factory. I just can't let this loan go through!

He opened his phone, found Chen Yu, and sent him the dream Xu Zilong had sent him, then wrote: "[Chen Yu, this is the entry for Moral High School's competition. Take a look.]"

—Chen Yu rejected your send request—

Principal Liu: [Why? Just accept it! Don't worry, I won't hurt you! The moral points deducted this time will be on my head! I can get Xingjun to sign a written agreement!]

Chen Yu: [Not interested.]

Principal Liu: [Don't do this! Moral High School's work is supposedly very strong! They've hired an outside dream weaver; they're determined to win this time!]

Chen Yu: [No matter how much you say, I'm not interested. I'm that confident in my dream-making skills; I'm confident I'll get first place even without watching.]

Principal Liu: [What if we don't get it?]

Chen Yu: [That doesn't matter. If I don't get it, I don't get it. Anyway, my Daoist principles are unwavering.]

Principal Liu: [You're pretty quick at using it!]

Chen Yu: [Stop talking nonsense, I've blocked you. I need to rest.]

Principal Liu: [Chen Yu!]

—You've been blocked. How about you beg them to unblock you?—

Seeing the notification that he had been blocked, Principal Liu was speechless.

Having a firm belief in the Tao is a good thing, but I still hope you can see the environment clearly.

He didn't believe that the dreams created by a few students could compare to those of professional dream architects. After all, it was very unwise to challenge someone else's profession with one's hobby.

But now Chen Yu is completely lost in his dream of being invincible, and there's nothing he can do about it.

With a deep sigh, Principal Liu could only turn on his phone and experience the dream Xu Zilong had given him.

A dozen minutes later, Liu, who had just woken up, sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the notification on her phone with a puzzled expression.

[The dream has ended. Your assessment is unprecedented.]

[His actions during the dream were decisive and ruthless, demonstrating high intelligence; he was truly a rare and wise ruler.]

[Moral score +10 (Mock exam score does not count towards official score)]

After reflecting on the contents of his dream and comparing them with those of Chen Yu's dream, Liu Xiao's worries vanished.

There's no comparison.

You are really scaring yourself.

I think I'll stick with playing "Immortal Clan".

With this in mind, Principal Liu lay back down on the bed and went to continue looking after his children.

This time, he is confident that he can make everyone happy.
