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

Chapter 146 It's a wonderful thing to be President Chen's ghost (46)

For Chen Yu, money can be spent, but it shouldn't be spent recklessly.

For people from Tianyuan, it's best not to spend money.

Besides, making money isn't easy these days. If you have money, spend it wisely, don't waste it on us.

Therefore, Chen Yu always finds various reasons to spend money.

Just now, he saw Wang Ma's travel video and finally found a perfect excuse.

Immediately finding Zhong Zheng, who was drinking and chatting with his own body, Chen Yu excitedly asked, "Have you seen the video?"

"I've read it." Zhong Zheng, his face clouded with worry, sipped his wine through a straw. "The novel 'Strange Tales of Dazexiang' has surpassed three million copies."

"Can't you focus on the important points? Everyone says that kind of roadside path is worthless. Don't you know that Wang Ma has already woken up and will be arriving at Tianyuan soon?"

"That's not the point. She's just a has-been internet celebrity."

"How is this not the point! This is a great opportunity to showcase Tianyuan! Just think, what will they think when they arrive and see a ragged Tianyuan? Tianyuan is already seen as a monster by the outside world, shouldn't we do something about it?"

Zhong Zheng thought about it and felt it made sense.

He stopped drinking temporarily and asked, puzzled, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"I plan to borrow the Human Emperor's Flag from you, then use the Foundation Establishment Old Ghost inside, and then start a large-scale welcome event. I plan to set up magical illusions in some parts of Tianyuan City, and use large illusions in some places so that players can see these illusions even if they don't have external display devices."

"That's interesting. And then what?"

"Setting up illusions only requires magic, and it's a one-time thing, but its advantage lies in the fact that it can be set up in the sky, on buildings, in wilderness, and so on. Therefore, we can make the previous world leader even bigger, create five of the Four Divine Beasts, and then place them in various areas of Tianyuan City. Imagine, then, white dragons dancing wildly in the sky, vermilion birds soaring, and a hundred demonic beasts roaming at night—what a magnificent and wondrous sight that would be!"

"Won't this interfere with other people's normal lives?"

"Then add an option for whether to participate. Those who want to participate will see it, and those who don't want to participate won't see it. This should be easy to do with magic."

"It is indeed simple."

Zhong Zheng pondered for a long time before asking, "But it requires a lot of magic power."

"Don't worry, I'll pay for it. Please set up an automatic deduction for me. It'll be deducted automatically whenever I have the magic power. It'll look great."

"Um……"

Zhong Zheng seriously considered the possibilities, becoming more and more excited as he thought about it.

Tianyuan definitely needs a stage to showcase itself. After all, Tianyuan has such an excellent dream weaver as Chen Yu, and it won't do if they don't promote him.

However, Chen Yu considered using his magic power as much as possible, and then using Wang Ma to showcase Tianyuan's excellence, thereby reaping negative emotions from players in other regions.

After all, he had seen the number of followers on Wang Ma's account. Although Bai Ze's 30-second hype had passed, most players who bought Tianyuan's external display device had paid attention to Wang Ma, making him a de facto window through which Tianyuan's existence could be shown to the outside world.

When Wang Ma arrives at Tianyuan, it will be time to use Tianyuan's culture to intimidate others.

Although this may generate positive emotions, these emotions will be quickly consumed by these illusions, so there's no need to worry.

Then, he accumulated negative emotions, which made him rich.

Moreover, everyone will be happy throughout the process, and a perfect world where no one gets hurt is achieved.

Staring at Zhong Zheng, Chen Yu was confident the other wouldn't refuse. Zhong Zheng, however, wavered between spending money and the desired effect, finally hesitatingly saying, "Alright, I'll apply for this event. But I still feel it consumes too much mana; I'll try to find a way to replenish some for you?"

"Forget it, I don't want it at all. Lend me the Emperor's Flag, I'll go and make that old ghost do the work."

"Alright, remember to act within your limits. Also, I've given the flag permissions, so just don't go too far."

"Understood!"

Happily accepting Zhong Zheng's Emperor's Flag, Chen Yu first returned to his office and then rummaged through the pile of items he had purchased.

The materials purchased for 30 million yuan were partly sent to the factory for production and use, and partly sent to Chenguang Co., Ltd. because they were not needed for the time being.

These things are all kinds of things. Some of them were bought on sale, but I never expected to actually use them now.

After rummaging through the box, Chen Yu excitedly pulled out an entire box of incense sticks.

Two hundred kilograms of incense sticks are a special supply for ghost cultivators. When lit, they release a special fragrance that makes ghost cultivators feel comfortable and relieves fatigue. A palm-sized stick often costs tens of dollars.

This box of incense sticks was a discounted item that Ma Daqiang bought because it was cheap. The incense sticks inside were broken due to a mistake during processing, so they don't look very nice, but the effect is exactly the same.

Chen Yu placed the incense sticks into a special incense burner, lit them, and the office was immediately enveloped in a hazy mist of smoke.

The old ghosts inside the Emperor's Banner were bathed in endless smoke as soon as they came out, and immediately felt refreshed and incredibly comfortable.

Looking at these old ghosts, Chen Yu said with a smile, "I'm not a stingy person. From now on, my office will be your resting place. During this time, please place talismans in the designated locations to activate spells. I will provide the magic power. You can come here to rest after working eight hours each day."

"Long live President Chen!" a dozen or so old ghosts shouted excitedly.

"Of course, there must be entertainment during rest. I have tens of thousands of books here that I purchased before. You can read them as you like."

"Mr. Chen, we respect and admire you!"

"Besides books, we also have board games and magazines. Considering that most of you are elderly, we've also provided mahjong and dominoes. If you don't feel like playing, you can also go downstairs to the stalls for a few drinks—I'll put it on your tab!"

"Mr. Chen, you're too kind to us, we're a little scared."

"If you do a good job afterwards, I will give you a bonus. If you have a particularly good idea that is adopted, I will also give you an extra bonus. You can ask Zheng Shen to help you get your sentence waived."

The old ghosts stared wide-eyed at Chen Yu, then huddled together and whispered, "Let's go and take care of Zhong Zheng."

"No, killing him will only bring in new inspectors. Let's go help Chen Yu get an inspector's status."

"Great idea. This is the first time I've ever felt that being a ghost is better than being a human."

"Me too! But I must remind you, when working, you should address each other by their titles. Please call me General Manager Chen!"

"To be a ghost to President Chen, that would be a wonderful thing."

"Yeah, yeah, let's hurry up and figure out how to get it done."

Zhong Zheng never expected that these old devils would betray him in less than half an hour after they arrived.

Chen Yu, on the other hand, excitedly unfurled the flag, ready to make a big splash.
