In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 174 The Primordial Park is truly too dark! (5.4K views, please vote!)

In the end, Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and agreed to the terms of the slave trade, and happily went off to work.

There's no way around it; for a cybernetic life form like Su Yuan 996, the temptation of having a physical body and being able to go out and spend money is simply too great.

So what if it's three hundred? It's three hundred!
Saving up over three hundred yuan can amount to nearly ten thousand yuan a month.

The biggest difference between the Crimson-faced White Bone Puppet and ordinary puppets is that it possesses the senses of taste, smell, and touch that only living humans have.

Use that money to eat lobster and abalone, rent a luxury jet ski for a ride, and stay in a grand hotel—those are all real indulgences.

How could Xiao Wu resist such temptation!
It was precisely because he possessed the Crimson Bone Puppet that Su Yuan was able to easily control these cyber brothers, as if he had a living, breathing body.

Such is the weakness of human nature.

As for whether the Cyber ​​Brothers will face an AI crisis?

Learn about the magical artifact that forcibly increases favorability.

Zhu Qingqing, the mastermind behind the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, can directly annihilate any cyber soul within the banner.

It can be said that the Cyber ​​Brothers are the group of employees least likely to betray Su Yuan.

In order to maintain the image of the artists, Su Yuan will further restrict them in the future.

For example, one cannot have physical contact with the opposite sex, and one cannot do anything in public that contradicts one's public persona.

If anyone has any ill intentions, immediately start a live stream and send them crickets on Xiaohongshu.

Watching Xiao Wu dressed as a bunny girl busily working in the cafeteria kitchen, Chen Nuoyi and Yin Qiyue remained silent.

After a long while, Yin Qiyue said weakly:

"Su Yuan, hurry up and make a few more Crimson Bone Puppets. I really can't bear to see Xiao Wu working so hard."

After all, she is a stunningly beautiful girl with ten times the looks of other girls, and can be described as pitiful to behold, captivating both men and women.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan immediately put on a stern face and said:
"Yin, as the Left Envoy of Light of my Yuan Sect, how can you show compassion for a magical artifact?"

"Your resolve isn't strong enough. With this kind of mentality, how will you manage an artist team in the future?"

Yin Qiyue was somewhat bewildered.

She was just saying it casually, is it necessary to make such a big deal out of it?

Su Yuan shook his head and said:

"It seems I need to let you personally participate in the creation process of the Crimson Bone Puppet."

"Only when you realize that they are tools, that they are magic weapons, can you train them better."

As he spoke, he pulled the two somewhat bewildered women to the back kitchen of the cafeteria.

He first picked out a sheep that looked harmless, and in front of the two of them, he made the sheep ascend to heaven cleanly and efficiently, turning it into a walking corpse. Then he took it to the Eight Treasures Merit Pool in the swimming pool and threw it in.

"See? Before Xiao Wu was born, she was no different from this sheep that I treated as food."

"To put it bluntly, once Xiao Wu's consciousness as No. 996 is removed, she is essentially still just a source of food."

Su Yuan explained earnestly.

The two were completely bewildered.

Nine hours passed in a flash. In front of the two of them, Su Yuan dragged the sheep that had surfaced out of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

At this moment, the sheep, except for its horns, tail, and certain key areas covered with pure white wool like underwear, looks exactly like a tall and beautiful young woman.

"so cute."

Even without using a level 10 beauty filter, the transformed sheep made Yin Qiyue's beautiful eyes fill with hearts.

Then, in front of her, Su Yuan used various tools to transform the sheep into a beautiful but skeletal puppet.

The scene was so bloody that Yin Qiyue was completely stunned.

Finally, Su Yuan inserted the Ten Thousand Soul Banner into the brain-computer interface installed on the back of the sheep's head.

Accompanied by a crackling sound of electricity, the lifeless ram-horned beauty slowly opened her eyes.

A pair of square eyes with sheep-like features first looked around blankly, then overjoyed:

"I finally have a physical body!"

"007, calm down!"

Su Yuan coughed lightly:
"Your body's name is tentatively set as Yang Meier. In front of everyone, you should be called Yang Meier. You must never reveal your real code name."

"As one of the ten centurions I personally selected, I have very high expectations for you. I hope that you can surpass the ordinary squad leader No. 996 in your live streaming career."

"When you achieve great success, as the leader of the Yuan Sect, I will not treat you unfairly!"

At this point, Su Yuan's tone became increasingly seductive:
"Even if we take it a step further, reaching the True Soul level is not impossible."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan 007 immediately perked up.

Perhaps due to individual differences, No. 007 has more of a fanatical official attribute compared to Su Yuan's other cyber brothers.

Number 007 immediately stood up, disregarding his complete lack of clothing, and said with a burning gaze:

"Don't worry, boss, I'm definitely going to be the best artist!"

"What is Number 1? It was only born a few minutes earlier than me, yet it comes here every day to show off!"

"I want to see how long he can hold this rank of True Soul without having accomplished anything."

Su Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then patted Number 007 on the shoulder and said:
"Our sect is still in its early stages and is short of funds. As the leader, you should set an example. Let's start with a daily wage of two hundred."

"Only in this way will your subordinates be convinced of your abilities."

"Yes, boss!"

Number 007 was completely captivated by Su Yuan's promise and agreed without a second thought.

Su Yuan continued:

"As for your livestreaming direction... start with a debut in my and the Left Envoy of Light's livestream, and then you can go and get a job."

"Work...work?"

The previously high-spirited 007 was completely dumbfounded.

"This isn't right. Aren't I a beauty streamer? What kind of job do you want me to do?"

Su Yuan: "Who said that attractive live streamers can't get a regular job?"

"Listen to me, first put on a food delivery uniform and create the persona of a high-class young lady who has fallen on hard times and is now delivering food to pay off her debts."

"The entire work process will be live-streamed. During this time, you will have to use all your skills to showcase the difficulties and setbacks you encounter in your food delivery career, while also demonstrating your strong and unyielding character."

"If you act strong and pitiful enough, how can the audience not give you tips?"

"You have to understand that the best way for artists under Yuanshi Media to prove themselves is through popularity and discussion, and also through their earning power."

"As long as you are willing to work hard, surpassing No. 996, who has the first-mover advantage and modeling advantage, is not a problem."

Su Yuan's eloquent speech left 007 somewhat confused.

But for some reason, she got fired up!

"Boss, I understand!"

Number 007 applies the principle of drawing inferences from one instance to another:
“I can not only make money through donations from viewers in the live stream, but also make it part of my KPI as long as I hand over all the money I earn from delivering food.”

Su Yuan was extremely gratified:

"As expected of the centurion I've chosen, you have great potential."

"I've already prepared the Rat Mountain Sword Sect account, the insulated delivery box, and the phone for live streaming and order taking."

"Deliver a few orders today to get familiar with the process, and we'll officially start broadcasting tomorrow!"

As he spoke, Su Yuan took out a complete set of takeout equipment and handed it to Yang Meier.

With about five times the beauty filter applied, Yang Meier managed to transform an ordinary takeout uniform into a kind of alluring uniform.

And this person, in accordance with the persona set by Su Yuan, put on a tired but resolute expression that refused to bow to fate.

Attack speed is maxed out.

After watching Yang Meier excitedly set off to deliver takeout under Su Yuan's influence, Chen Nuoyi and Yin Qiyue both fell silent.

However, what left them speechless was not Su Yuan's manipulation of Yang Meier.

It refers to the way the latter appeared before he put on his aloof persona.

He bears a striking resemblance to Su Yuanben.

"Su Yuan, if I may ask, where did you create the AI ​​that controls the Crimson Face and White Bone Puppet?"

"Oh, so they're all cyber lifeforms created using me as a template. Is there a problem?"

Su Yuan then replied.

Yin Qiyue: "...No, no problem."

Good heavens! So it turns out that Su Yuan has been exploiting himself all along!

Then she really doesn't need to worry about anything.

They'll exploit whoever they want, since they're exploiting a persona with Su Yuan at its core, so they have no qualms about it.

Therefore, Yin Qiyue began to seriously study the professional training program for Xiao Wu and Yang Meier.

Su Yuan then contacted the meat processing plant in Taihua City again to reserve animal blood for the next few days.

Although the cost of purchasing so much animal blood is enormous, once the artist team is established, it will only take a month or two to recoup the investment.

The rest is pure profit.

Besides, making money is secondary to me.

System tasks and the Great Desire Immortal Puppet are the real reasons for developing my artist team.

The leader and the Left Envoy of Light have already taken on their respective tasks, so what is Chen Nuoyi, the deputy leader, going to do?

Her job was simple: to expand business in Golden City.

The online marketing store could be renamed Yuanshi Media, creating a collaborative and mutually beneficial partnership with the live streaming team.

On the one hand, the online army of Wanhun Banner can be used to boost the popularity of artists under Yuanshi Media, reducing the time they need to cultivate their accounts.

On the other hand, Yuanshi Media's shop in Golden City can be used to... receive advertisements!

That's right, Chen Nuoyi's task is to liaise with the various sects that have offices in Golden City to get advertising deals for their artist teams. They can only earn so much money from tips.

You also need to take on various commercial orders and advertisements; those are the real money-making projects.

Take Xiaowu as an example.

After inheriting the popularity of Su Yuan and Yin Qiyue, her popularity soared.

It's estimated that he'll become a top streamer with 300,000 to 400,000 real fans in just a few days.

A streamer like this can easily earn tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan from a single commercial order.

Once the artist team grows and expands, each artist can come to the advertisement site about once a week, and that's how much they can earn!
Unfortunately, Xiao Wu's fans largely overlap with those of Su Yuan and Yin Qiyue, resulting in a relatively limited increase in the number of Yuan Sect members.

But once her popularity rises and the platform attracts a large influx of users, completing the system task will only be a matter of time.

The three of them each had their own duties and were busy in addition to their studies.

One day later, Yang Meier, a popular livestreamer known for her good looks and talent, debuted as a food delivery host.

On the day of her debut, she revealed her family's background of decline due to her father's gambling, her mother's illness, and her younger brother's need to go to school.

During the most difficult time, I survived thanks to the help of anchor Su Yuan.

In short, Su Yuan's kindness can never be fully repaid.

She decided to shine on the Yuanshi Media platform, both for her own sake and to repay Su Yuan's kindness.

At first, many viewers inevitably had doubts.

Is Yang Meier, a beautiful young woman, faking her job as a food delivery driver? Is Yuanshi Media deliberately creating a persona for her?
But when Yang Meier started a live stream and delivered food 24 hours a day, even going a whole day without eating a hot meal, all the doubts stopped.

I can't argue with that; someone with tens of millions in debt wouldn't be working this hard.

A gambling father, a sick mother, a younger brother in school, and a sensible girl! If I don't help her, who will?
Viewers in the live stream generously donated money, contributing their modest efforts to help Yang Meier pay off her debts.

Three days later, Kun Jie, a cool girl dressed in a men's suit and sporting a middle-part hairstyle, made her debut.

With her unparalleled athleticism and high jump ability, she became a basketball coach at a local gymnasium in Taihua City.

With her dashing and attractive appearance that appeals to both men and women, as well as her superb ball skills, Sister Kun quickly gained a group of loyal fans.

Three days later, Su Su, a spirited girl with a baby face, petite figure, and always wearing mouse-ear headphones, debuted.

This little potato, who is just 1.5 meters tall, became a proud shopping mall security guard in order to experience life.

The security guard's demanding duties, which involve catching countless people, contrast sharply with her petite and adorable appearance.

Su Su also gained a large number of fans in just a few days.

Then there's the chubby mukbang streamer Zhu Yuanyuan, the incredibly voluptuous fitness streamer Niu Shishi, and the alluring, delicate twin dance streamers, the Golden Snake and Green Snake sisters.

In less than twenty days, Yuanshi Media has already recruited as many as eight artists!

These eight live streamers each have their own unique style, personality, and appearance, and are all incredibly endearing.

After gaining popularity, the eight artists often collaborated with each other.

For example, there was an offline competition between food delivery streamer Yang Meier and security guard streamer Su Su, and food streamer Zhu Yuanyuan and fitness streamer Niu Shishi exchanged their daily meals, etc.

In a short time, the popularity of the other streamers in the same field as these eight artists under Yuanshi Media was quickly drained away.

The idea that anything produced by Yuanshi Media is of high quality is also widely circulated among users of the Miaoyin platform.

Viewers gradually discovered some commonalities among the artists of Yuanshi Media.

First, all eight artists have animal elements in their image to varying degrees.

Xiao Wu's rabbit ears, Yang Meier's ram horns, the forked tongues of the Green Snake and Golden Snake, and Sister Kun's chicken feet (crossed out), etc.

After discussion, the audience concluded that these animal characteristics likely reflect the corporate culture of Yuanshi Media.

It might also help to deepen the artist's memorability.

After this pattern was summarized, many viewers were very excited.

What animal characteristics will the next artists from Yuanshi Media have?

What they don't know is that these features, such as horns and ears, are not plugins, but rather part of the artists' very being.

The second commonality is that all the artists under Yuanshi Media are known for their frivolity!
Apart from Xiao Wu, who would normally end her live stream after selling her products (and then process roast goose), other celebrities seemed to want to be welded to the live stream room.

They stream for at least twenty hours a day, and the content is not only plentiful and plentiful, but they also do all the kinds of entertaining things that are expected.

It's like the eagle eating chicken in the live streaming world.

While such uninterrupted live streaming is certainly beneficial to viewers, they often worry that the streamers might be working too hard.

You can't risk your life just to make money.

Many people have boldly speculated that Yuanshi Media, founded by Su Yuan, is actually a black factory, and that Xiao Wu and others are forced to livestream for so long every day!

There are even insiders who have revealed that Su Yuan pays his artists less than 300 yuan a day.

However, as soon as this revelation appeared, Su Yuan suppressed it with lightning speed using the Myriad Soul Banner, without causing any ripples.

To completely dispel the audience's concerns, the eight celebrities also uploaded a lot of videos on their social media accounts showing them shopping, visiting tourist attractions, and having afternoon tea.

The women in the picture exude a sophisticated, bourgeois vibe, gathered together like eight carefree urban ladies.

Seeing how sunny and cheerful the anchors looked in the photos, most of the viewers' worries were immediately dispelled.

Rumors about black factories and exploitation of artists were taken by the audience as attacks from their peers.

At the same time, Su Yuan's daily income was skyrocketing at an alarming rate.

It was only because he had created eight Crimson-faced White-bone Puppets in just over twenty days that Su Yuan's funds were temporarily stretched thin.

He decided to temporarily halt production on artists and focus on boosting the popularity of Xiao Wu and eight other artists.

It's 9 PM.

Inside the swimming pool at Tai Wah High School.

Xiao Wu and eight other anchors stood in a line in front of Su Yuan, who was smiling.

After glancing at the haggard-looking artists, Su Yuan took out eight thin red envelopes and stuffed them into the hands of the eight people.

"Everyone has worked hard during this period. Thank you for your outstanding contributions to the Yuan Sect."

"No matter how far the Yuan Cult develops in the future, your contributions will always be recorded in the annals of history."

With a sincere expression, Su Yuan painted a beautiful picture of a goal for the artists.

Everyone obediently opened the red envelopes and took out the prize money inside.

Five hundred yuan is better than nothing.

"Alright, I won't say any more."

Su Yuan clapped his hands, bringing the artists back to their senses from the shock of the large prize money:

"Now everyone is free to go out and spend money. If you're tired, you can also soak in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool for a while."

"Don't save any money you earn, just spend it freely. Anyway, you don't have wives, kids, or families to support, so whatever you earn is yours."

The flowers have opened...

Is the little bit of trash you sent us enough for us to spend freely?

The celebrities were internally ranting and raving.

But they only dared to complain in their hearts and didn't dare to actually protest anything.

What if I get laid off?
There are still more than nine thousand brothers waiting to be relieved of their duties within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

Moreover, to be fair, Su Yuan is a bit stingy, but each artist still earns eight or nine thousand a month, or even more than ten thousand, which is enough for them to live a comfortable life.

Just as the celebrities were about to go out and spend money, Xiao Wu suddenly raised her hand and asked cautiously:

"Boss, we work with our current bodies every day. Is it possible for us to truly gain ownership of these bodies in the future?"

Upon hearing Xiao Wu's words, all the artists' eyes lit up, and they looked at Su Yuan expectantly.

Su Yuan smiled and said:
"That's natural. Our Yuan Sect has always adhered to the principle that you will be rewarded for your efforts."

“As long as you do your job well, your current bodies will belong solely to you. That’s why I have tens of thousands of brothers, but I don’t use a shift system.”

"However, as everyone knows, the cost of each Crimson-faced, White-boned puppet is as high as 1.5 million."

Su Yuan paused here, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"I need to make a living too. If I don't recover more than three times the cost, it's all for nothing."

"Here's what we'll do: if everyone can earn ten million for the Yuan Cult through their own efforts, you will all be free."

"After this, although you will still be artists under Yuanshi Media, you will only need to broadcast live for three hours every day, and the broadcast revenue will be split 30/70."

"By then, you'll be driving luxury cars and living in mansions every day—it won't be a dream!"

Upon hearing Su Yuan's yet another grand promise, the artists were excited, but their mood was also somewhat heavy.

Ten million is needed!

You need to earn ten million to buy your freedom!
But honestly, is spending ten million to buy top-tier models like Yang Meier and Kun Jie really that expensive?
It's not expensive at all. Famous celebrities with similar looks can earn ten million a day.

Looking at it this way, the eldest brother is actually quite conscientious.

Suddenly, the artists, now with a goal in mind, felt incredibly motivated and couldn't wait to continue their live streams and get back to their carefree and wonderful lives.

The eight artists left with great interest.

Watching the artists walk away, Zhu Qingqing popped out of Su Yuan's backpack and asked in surprise:

"If they want to earn ten million, they can do it in three to five months, or even half a year. Are you really going to let them go then?"

"This isn't like you at all!"

Su Yuan calmly said:
"Even if they are given a certain degree of freedom, what good will it do? If the Crimson-faced White-boned Puppets are not maintained, they will age, wear out, and even break down."

"As long as my cyber brothers want to live a happy life with a physical body, they will have to pay these fees every month."

"At that time, although I stipulate that they only need to live stream for three hours a day, in order to satisfy their own desires, they will spontaneously become competitive and work hard to make money."

Zhu Qingqing was speechless.

After a long while, he slowly said:
"You are still cruel."
