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

Chapter 114 I Want Them All (26)

Forty-five thousand for a model—even in my previous life, that would have been an extremely expensive price.

However, Chen Yu knew that if he wanted this dream to stand out, he absolutely couldn't skimp on this money.

Moreover, a model that covers the monster's movements, skeleton, special effects, and behavioral logic is really not expensive at 45,000.

If it weren't for the fact that Xingjun set a price ceiling for outsourcing, he would have wanted to add more money.

One hundred and twenty-eight models, which add up to 570,000 mana, will give me another ten days of rest.

With a satisfied sigh, Chen Yu said to Lu Ziqi's roommate, "This is the price, no more discounts. Wait, I still think 45,000 is too little. How about we find another way to increase the price a bit?"

"Don't add any more, or he'll go crazy again," the school doctor outside the curtain said. "These poor art students have never seen money before, so don't bully them."

Chen Yu wanted to say something, but then he remembered that Lu Ziqi was already mentally unstable, and there was a real possibility that something might go wrong.

Having no other option, he had to abandon the idea of ​​adding more money and said to Lu Ziqi's roommate, "I'll have other people come and cooperate with you later. Let's start as soon as you recover. Our factory is ready and waiting for you. Good luck!"

Watching Chen Yu leave, the school doctor checked Lu Ziqi's breathing, clicked his tongue twice, and then said, "You can eat it while it's hot."

"...This joke isn't funny."

"Can I use it for pharmacological experiments while it's still hot?"

"go away!"

When Lu Ziqi woke up, Chen Yu had already run back to the sports school to build the dream model.

Supporting himself as he sat up, Lu Ziqi rubbed his temples and said to his roommate, puzzled, "I think I just had a dream. I dreamt that Chen Yu came to my side on a colorful auspicious cloud and said that I was an artist destined not to start World War II. To recognize my achievements, he gave me a job and magic power, and then led me to his paradise. There, you can go crazy every day and create art. The clients there never interfere and pay on time."

"You've put it quite artfully," my roommate replied, shaking his head. "Besides, half of your dream wasn't a dream; Chen Yu really did contact you."

"Really?"

"Don't be surprised by what I'm about to say. He gave you a large amount of magic power and then let you create extremely high-quality dream models."

Just as Lu Ziqi was about to confirm the amount, his roommate pressed down on his hand and said seriously, "Don't look, I'll handle this money. Just don't look."

Although his roommate told him not to look, he still secretly peeked at it and then fainted again.

After several times, Lu Ziqi finally got used to the money and could move on to the next stage.

The arts high school has 300 arts students, which is relatively few among the five high schools.

After all, the scope of employment in the arts is relatively narrow, and Tianyuan doesn't have as much demand for arts as other places.

Moreover, art colleges are notoriously difficult to get into, and most people can only become wandering artists after graduating from high school, trying to find ways to wander to other cities and make a living by painting for people under dim streetlights.

If you're unlucky, you might get caught by surveillance officers while you're homeless and then be sent to the police station.

If you're lucky, you might get into a small dream team and then draw all sorts of erotic pictures according to the client's needs, like dragons and carriages, trains and tunnels, mortise and tenon structures, pencils and erasers, pens and pen caps, etc.

Once the drawing is nearly finished, the truth will come out, and you'll end up in jail for a few years, completing the cycle of your life.

But now, Chen Yu has given them another possibility.

Although it's unclear why Chen Yu wanted such detailed models, each model cost 45,000, calculated using mana, which is enough for the students at their art high school to work themselves to the bone.

“Our school has 300 students, and this price can get about 200 people to work. It takes 20 people 3 days to carve one model, so 3 days is exactly 10 models.”

"Since it's the first job, we're distributing the money directly, with each person getting seventy-five mana points per day... Is money really that easy to earn?"

My roommate was also startled by the calculated number. After a long pause, he said, "If we work overtime, 24 hours a day, wouldn't that be more than 200 points of mana?"

Lu Ziqi gasped, then closed his eyes and said, "No, no, no, earning two hundred points of magic power in one go? I wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing. I'm not ready yet, don't scare me."

After wandering in his fantasies for a long time, Lu Ziqi took a deep breath and said fiercely, "One hundred and twenty-eight, that's enough for our cultivation later."

"Yes!"

"The senior students are about to take their exams, and now is the time when they need magical power to boost their scores. We should hire them first."

"No objection!" "And don't forget, we are Tianyuan people, and Tianyuan people must be honest."

"That's right!"

"Chen Yu's money didn't fall from the sky; it must have been specially approved by the Tianyuan Cultivator Committee!"

"It must be!"

"So, since we've already paid 45,000 for each model, we have to make it look like it's worth 100,000!"

"Well said!"

"Now, let's find them!"

"Come on!"

The roommate was thrilled by what was said, and Lu Ziqi was also so excited that they immediately borrowed a wheelchair from the school doctor. The roommate pushed Lu Ziqi down the stairs and roared as they went to call for help.

Watching the two wild dogs running around, the school doctor, who was eating the leftover spicy hot pot from lunch, suddenly felt restless.

Putting down her chopsticks, she said in bewilderment, "How did you manage to get me all worked up like this? No, I need to prepare more calming herbs. Those little guys will definitely go crazy looking for inspiration, and then they'll want to eat the herbs, and then they'll be begging me for help."

The school doctor was right. That afternoon, a student fainted because of the unexpected large order. When he woke up, he started acting crazy and was slapped by the school doctor.

In severe cases, people would consume calming herbs, which caused the newly sprouted calming herbs to perish once again.

A day later, the art team was assembled. The ten teams were eager to get started, while those who couldn't get in were in tears, looking forward to the next time.

Subsequently, Glasses, having gathered the necessary materials at the Cultural High School, followed Chen Yu's instructions and entered the Art High School, where he began his first collaboration with Lu Ziqi.

They have a deep love for small animals and wish they could tell the whole world about their love for them.

One person, after receiving the money, was so excited that he wished he could work 20 hours a day, sacrificing his lifespan for product quality.

The two sides hit it off immediately and began a frenzied production.

Three days later, before Chen Yu could even inquire about the progress, Glasses rushed to his dormitory, panting, and delivered the artwork he had completed at the art high school.

Looking at the sweat-drenched glasses, Chen Yu asked, puzzled, "Can't you just upload it directly from your phone?"

"No way! I'm going to make you the judge!"

"Weren't you two working together quite well? What conflict happened?"

"I believe that the mythical creatures in the Classic of Mountains and Seas must be preserved in their original form in order to attract the original readers."

"That's no problem."

"However, Lu Ziqi and the others said that being erotic is the right way, so they want to anthropomorphize the mythical beasts and then turn them all into female characters!"

"This is very artistic."

“Not at all!” Glasses exclaimed excitedly. “Furry little animals are the cutest! And some of the characteristics of mythical beasts can only be manifested in their wild beast form. For example, Chenghuang, riding it can increase your lifespan, but it has horns on its back. If you want to increase your lifespan, you have to risk having your anus pierced. Are you going to ride it? I know I will.”

"You're clearly trying to satisfy your shameful fetishes!"

"That's not relevant. What I'm asking is, do you want the original form or the female form?"

"Is that a problem? Can't we have both?"

Glasses was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, clapped his hands and said, "Genius, I'm going!"

Watching Glasses run off quickly, Chen Yu felt that these people were acting strangely.

Then he thought of another question.

With two options, does that mean I have to pay double?
