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

The sequel to Chapter 163, "The Dreamer" (16)

After the holiday ended, Chen Yu returned to school overnight.

Although I wanted to think about what my next dream would be like before class, every time I put my hands in my pockets, I couldn't help but take out my driver's license and admire it.

To be honest, Chen Yu failed to get a driver's license in his previous life.

Driving test 2 was his lifelong nemesis. He failed the first time because of the S-shaped turn, and the second time, it was raining heavily and he couldn't see the ground markings, so he failed the parallel parking.

The third attempt failed because the tires scraped the ground while reversing into the parking space, and the fourth attempt failed because of an S-shaped turn.

The fifth attempt was successful, but the system malfunctioned that day, and all scores were recorded as zero.

Having used up all five chances, Chen Yu really had no desire to take the exam again.

Unexpectedly, after being reborn here, he was able to pass the test for the Class A driver's license, which is known as the most difficult to obtain. This gave him a sense of exhilaration, like "riding a swift horse in the spring breeze and seeing all the flowers of Chang'an in a single day."

He was admiring his driver's license repeatedly, completely unaware that Ma Daqiang had entered.

Ma Daqiang came in dragging a sack of homework and said, "Brother Chen, Teacher Zhao makes me hand in so much homework every day. Do you have any way to get me to finish it all?"

How did you know I passed my driver's license test?

"But Brother Chen, we're discussing homework right now."

"And it's Grade A, too."

"Brother Chen, are you even listening to me?"

"I went on the day of the exam, and I passed it on the first try without reviewing."

"Brother Chen is beyond saving..."

"Actually, I don't think it's that hard to get a driver's license. As long as you work hard, you can succeed."

"Someone help my brother Chen! Where's the school doctor?! Come quick, school doctor! Someone's lifted my brother Chen up high in the air!"

"It's terminally ill! I can accept your typos, but what do you mean by adding five characters to four? And please, stop using reduplicated words! It's disgusting!"

After being corrected by Ma Daqiang with a grammatically incorrect sentence, Chen Yu barely resisted the allure of the driver's license, lamenting that it was a troublesome little devil, and a top-tier one at that.

After collecting the driver's license, Chen Yu asked Ma Daqiang to finish writing down what he knew. Then, Chen Yu opened the class schedule and sent his driver's license certificate to the school's system. After that, he wouldn't have to attend any more labor classes.

Fortunately, the first few days after the start of the semester were all for labor practice, which gave me time to think about the content of my next dream and create one.

This time, he planned to keep his dream simple.

My dreams used to be quite complicated, which made me prone to making mistakes in various places, causing me a lot of distress.

Now, with a million negative emotions already, I can choose some simpler dreams and harvest those negative emotions once more.

Speaking of simplicity, I have to mention my first dream, "The Mysterious Immortal's Dream".

Only two chapters of this dream have been completed so far, but as my cultivation level continues to improve, my Dao heart continues to awaken, and my understanding of the cultivation world is also increasing, it's time to give this dream an ending.

However, the world of "The Mysterious Immortal of the Dao" is extremely complex, with the past and present intertwined, and modern and ancient times intricately interwoven, where time and space are no longer continuous.

Even truth and lies no longer exist; all concepts seem to have been refined in an alchemical furnace, filled with uncertainty and confusion.

Readers feel as if they've refined their brains along with the author's while reading, then ground them into powder and plastered them on the wall, each piece representing a part of the other, like everyone making dumplings together.

Moreover, it gets more and more chaotic as it gets closer to the end, with various possibilities intertwined. If not handled well, it will be really difficult to fully show the charm of that world.

However, Chen Yu always felt it was a regret not to finish this dream.

"The story ended where the player discovers they are Sun Huowang. Should we continue down that path? Hmm, should we create a new storyline, perhaps using the perspectives of other characters?" "Also, in the original work, Li Huowang has his own Si Ming Ji Zai. Should we use Ji Zai's storyline?"

"But players will be confused if they haven't read it, and they will still be confused even if they have read it. Since they are confused anyway, why not try a different approach?"

Before he even officially started, Chen Yu had already confused himself.

Since he couldn't think of a solution for the time being, Chen Yu simply started trying various approaches.

I first created a dream sequence in the form of a slideshow, but after watching it, it didn't feel right.

I created another dream scenario focused on free exploration, but it still didn't feel right.

Another dream about pigeons, and I still feel restricted.

He even created a dream where Sun Huowang is transformed into a humanoid Gundam, the player becomes Hei Tai Sui, and then they race Gundams in Sun Huowang. Players can change Sun Huowang's limbs to increase his speed later on.

During the match, players can throw brains and intestines to interfere with others. Non-player characters can also turn into ghosts to curse their opponents, allowing them to continue using their abilities even after their teammates die.

There are also Ba Hui Xi Shen cheering them on from the side. Unlocking special skins will allow them to wear cheerleader outfits, which will definitely silence everyone who sees them.

All the materials are generated using artificial intelligence, and then special effects and effects are added to the generated content.

The end result was that the dream scenes became particularly eerie, and using various props required a great deal of mental strain, so we temporarily gave up on them.

For Chen Yu now, creating such small dreams is very simple. He can complete one in less than half an hour with the system's combat techniques activated. If he feels something is wrong after he finishes making it, he can just discard it without any regrets.

He would finish one dream and discard it, and before he knew it, he had accumulated thirty dreams, but none of them felt right.

After carefully considering the thirty dreams, Chen Yu deleted twenty of them that didn't suit him at all, leaving him with ten that were truly difficult to choose from.

These ten dreams correspond to Chen Yu's ten different understandings, and also to different timelines in the original work.

They are all from the original work, but they are all fragments.

Each dream has its own gameplay and highlights, but none of them show the full story of "The Mysterious Immortal".

Connecting them together would make for a nice dream, but doing so would require a lot of explanation and setup, and the content would become too lengthy, even if he couldn't manage it.

Just as Chen Yu was feeling lost, Ma Daqiang, who was dizzy from copying his homework, came over and confidently said, "Brother Chen, I've finished all my homework!"

"Really?"

"Okay! I did as you instructed, and wrote down everything I knew how to do, and for the ones I didn't know, I wrote 'I don't know.' I've finally finished writing them all!"

Chen Yu casually flipped through an assignment and found that Ma Daqiang had written "I don't know" for most of the assignments, with only a few parts showing the answers.

Frowning, Chen Yu looked closely and then discovered that the parts he had worked on so diligently were actually done correctly.

"You've actually improved a bit, kid."

"hey-hey."

After praising Ma Daqiang, Chen Yu felt quite gratified and helped Ma Daqiang with his homework, feeling a little touched.

Although it's still like searching for gold in a pile of garbage, the sense of accomplishment is surprisingly addictive.

After finishing marking out an assignment, Chen Yu was about to praise Ma Daqiang when he suddenly noticed something.

What's the name of this kind of game that doesn't tell the whole story but lets players find the plot themselves?
