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

Chapter 167 I Need Anonymity (56)

After Liu got up, his head was still buzzing.

Recalling the contents of his dream, he belatedly realized that there was something wrong with the dream; it seemed that he wasn't playing a typical dating simulation game.

However, his artistic score was not high, and he failed to perceive the metaphors and various connections in the dream. He only realized something was wrong when he was startled by Zhuge Yuan at the end.

He tried hard to piece together the entire dream, but he couldn't connect the dots because he was missing a crucial clue:

Who is Zhuge Yuan?
"So, who exactly is Zhuge Yuan?" Principal Liu couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't this driver number two?" The head of the teaching department's voice sounded behind him.

Turning his head, Principal Liu saw the Dean of Students rubbing his temples, seemingly having just woken up, his eyes also full of confusion.

"When did you arrive? And what's this 'second driver'?"

"I saw that a Shiny Kirin had spawned here, so I ran in to catch it. I didn't expect to be captured by someone else as soon as I entered, and then I had to go do the testing."

"Oh, what's your number?"

"Number 5. In my dream, I became the pilot of Puppet Sun Huowang, piloting the Sun Huowang Type 4 and engaging in a life-or-death battle with the mechs under the command of the Three Pure Ones. We fought for dragon energy, for the Heavenly Dao, we fought for everything, and in the end, we achieved a second impact, resulting in everyone's demise. Thinking about it now, it was quite exciting."

Liu was stunned for a long time, feeling increasingly confused.

Turning to look at Chen Yu, he asked in confusion, "Chen Yu, is this the official version? Is this content after Chapter Two? You didn't sell your account, did you?"

"Am I that kind of person?" Chen Yu replied with dissatisfaction, and nodded with satisfaction after seeing the negative emotions provided by the head of the teaching department.

However, while the emotions are there, it's not good to blindly pursue them.

Since you've chosen to harvest negative emotions and walk the path of demonic cultivation, you must remember the principle of demonic cultivation: sustainable exploitation.

A dream world must first be fun, and while being fun, it should also generate negative emotions. This is the only way to keep players playing and constantly providing them with negative emotions, rather than ending the game abruptly.

So he closed the cultivation interface, looked at the two of them, and asked, "How does it feel? Is it fun?"

"What's so fun about it!" Principal Liu said with dissatisfaction. "It's just a dating simulation game, but... well... actually, thinking back on it, it was quite interesting."

Each girl has a different personality, and the events and strategies for winning her over are different, which makes each process different, and it makes good use of the sixty years of being single.

Although sixty is an age when a spiritual practitioner should be bold and adventurous and not indulge in romantic relationships, Liu Xiao also longed for a sweet romance.
From Liu Xiao's hesitant demeanor, Chen Yu got the answer he wanted.

He glanced at the dean of students, then immediately stood up and said solemnly, "I think it's very interesting. Mr. Chen's dreams always seem to..."

"Speak human language to me."

"It's very interesting, and also a bit crazy. I just don't quite understand who the Three Pure Ones are, and why they told me I should join them after they destroyed the world?"

"Oh, that's because I hid different clues in different dreams. What you're playing now is about a third of each dream. Each dream is connected to two other dreams. When you play through any one of these dreams, you can unlock a new side quest, and then come back to unlock new story content. I call these the neutral, yin, and yang routes. But I won't tell the players these things; it's more fun to discover them for yourselves."

"Ten dreams... Is every dream like this?"

"No, only a few special dreams will do this, otherwise the number would be too large. But which ones are they? Players will have to find out for themselves."

After collecting data from the principal and the dean of students, Chen Yu felt that he should be able to do it.

He originally intended to release it on Tianyuan, but when he thought of Lu Ziqi, that abnormal little devil, he felt it was better to avoid the limelight.

I need to choose a place where they're less likely to go crazy, temporarily register an alternate account to avoid their attention, and then merge it when things are more or less settled.

He should wait until he's through this period before returning, otherwise there's a high probability of something unexpected happening. Unfolding the map, Chen Yu studied it for a while, then focused his gaze on Wenchang City, to the north of Tianyuan City.

The people of Wenchang City worship the Wenchang Star Lord, and that area is one of the core communities of the Wenchang Star Lord.

This star lord governs literary fortune and wisdom. It is said that he is reincarnated from time to time and walks around here in the form of an incarnation. If you occasionally encounter him, you will have good luck and talent.

Moreover, because it is in charge of academic success, wealthy people would go there to pray before each college entrance examination. If they were lucky, they could receive the blessing of the God of Literature, which would add at least five points to their college entrance examination score.

(It's said there aren't many art students there, so their madness isn't too severe. Besides, the more I think about this dream, the more confused I become, which is perfect for providing me with a lot of negative emotions—it's a good place!)

Thinking of this, Chen Yu pointed to Wenchang City and said, "I'm planning to go there. Is it still possible to buy a ticket now?"

"Wenchang City? What are we going there for?" the little hamster asked, puzzled. "Besides, there's no direct road there, because the people of Wenchang City discriminate against us from Tianyuan."

"...why?"

"It's a typical score-based society there. Anyone who scores less than 400 is considered a third-class citizen and will face discrimination everywhere. In their eyes, Tianyuan people don't have high grades and are stupid. If you want to go, I suggest you find someone with high scores to go with you, otherwise it might be very troublesome."

"That's it."

Looking at his score, Chen Yu discovered that his actual score was 416, which was just enough to avoid being discriminated against.

However, because it wasn't updated, the paper score is only 388.

"Um... Class monitor, what's your total score?"

"399!" the squad leader said proudly.

"They're still third-class citizens."

"You curse again!"

Ignoring the sulking hamster, Chen Yu continued, "Principal, which of our five schools has the highest score?"

Principal Liu immediately checked the grades in the system and said, "Wang Chuyun, she just updated her grades. Her labor class score improved by a full 30 points, and her total score is now 460! Wait, 460! Isn't that almost the same as Zhao Ziri's score back then!"

"Wow, Wang Chuyun is really amazing," Chen Yu said thoughtfully. "I wonder if she'd be willing to go to Wenchang with me?"

"Don't even think about it," the little hamster sighed. "She's a high-class beauty, how could she possibly want to go with you?"

"Let's try it first."

After dialing Wang Chuyun's number, Chen Yu, amidst the hamster's bewildered expression, said to Wang Chuyun, "Wang Chuyun, would you like to..."

"I do, I've always done."

"...I haven't said what it is yet. Never mind, see you in a bit, let's go."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu noticed the little hamster staring blankly at him. It then rushed over and said, "Chen Yu, I'll go with you!"

"What are you going to do? Are you going to Wenchang City to get some stimulation because your admiration is suddenly flaring up?"

"No, I just wanted to see if you could hypnotize people. Otherwise, why would Wang Chuyun be so excited?"

"...It's up to you."
