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

Chapter 181 We seem to have discovered something (66)

After counting on his fingers for a long time, the little hamster exclaimed, "You made over a million from just one dream? Is money that easy to earn? And you have to pay 300,000 in taxes alone?"

"It's just a million; I can spend it in a minute," Chen Yu said nonchalantly.

Looking at his own negative emotions, Chen Yu was quite satisfied.

In just one night, these people contributed 400,000 negative emotions to themselves, bringing the total to one million.

My current emotional limit is 2.5 million. Although there is still some distance to go, the current situation is good and it should not be difficult to reach.

Confusion is a relatively mild negative emotion, so it won't erupt in a short period of time, but it will slowly grow over a long period of time.

Moreover, since everyone here is a liberal arts student, they should be more rational and less likely to act irrationally, so they are unlikely to experience explosive improvement in their grades and thus won't backfire on themselves.

Looking at the comments in the dream section, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction, knowing that he had done a good job this time.

A short while later, a scream came from the next room. Wang Chuyun ran in wearing her pajamas, pointed to her phone balance, and stammered, "My phone is malfunctioning; it's making money on its own."

"How could that be?" the little hamster said, waving its hand. "If such a phone really existed, I would have to get it immediately. Wait, what's that sound?"

Upon seeing the text message about the change in its phone balance, the little hamster shrieked, "My phone is malfunctioning too! It's making money on its own! What the heck is five thousand yuan?!"

Chen Yu said nonchalantly, "The dream revenue sharing is a reward for your previous help; we at Morning Light are always generous. Wait a moment, let me look into the Contract Star Lord and see if we can get another share. Oh, and by the way, I can have the art team update more congratulatory illustrations so it'll be easier for them to distribute the bonuses."

Looking at her phone balance and then at Chen Yu, Liu Qing realized for the first time that her classmate was quite handsome and adorable.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Wenchang, senior students at Tianyuan City Art High School also let out gasps of surprise.

The hotel they stayed in had a large dormitory-style room and shared toilets; it was a cheap hotel they had finally managed to find.

But now, the cheap hotel had become very cozy, and even the mice that used to scurry around me seemed cute.

Money is so tempting.

Having money can make people feel happy.

Although they already knew that Chenguang was generous, everyone who participated in the previous dream creation received 5,000 yuan as a project bonus, which made the senior high school students who participated in the blessing wish that Wenchang Xingjun would be kicked off the altar and Chenguang would be worshipped instead.

"Thank you, Chenguang. I finally don't have to sell my blood to buy paint anymore."

"I already made a fortune with the previous 'Records of Mountains and Seas,' but I didn't expect to receive an extra reward today."

"My academic performance is saved! I'm going to do a ten-pull run until my academic score improves by ten points!"

Academic studies are extremely expensive, and if you don't get into university and don't obtain the seeds of magic, your only future path will be painting on the roadside.

Now, the bonus from Chenguang has greatly alleviated their financial pressure and made them feel more at ease than ever before.

Is this what it feels like to have thighs?

However, some people, having regained their senses, asked with concern, "But where did Chenguang get the money? Has the dream been sold?"

"It should have sold out by now. Judging from the previous art style, it should be from the Dreamer series."

"Tianyuan doesn't seem to have heard any related sounds. Could it be in Wenchang City? Holy crap! It really is!"

"Why did they choose to release it in Wenchang now?" "I don't know, but there are only ten dreams in total, and only 48 in total? But the sales are pretty good now. According to the platform, it has already sold 50,000 copies."

"Hiss... terrifying, it actually sold 50,000 copies. No wonder it was released in Wenchang, Tianyuan only has 10,000 cultivators."

At that moment, a loud laugh rang out, attracting their attention.

Putting down their phones, the senior high school students involuntarily looked outside and saw someone laughing maniacally on the roadside while shouting things like "Where am I?" "Who am I?" "Zhuge Yuan, save me!"

Then, someone else rushed over, grabbed the other person and pinned them to the ground, shouting, "What's wrong with you! Get back here!"

Upon noticing the high school seniors watching, the other person said apologetically, "Sorry, this is my classmate. He couldn't resist playing 'Dream Man: Final Chapter' and then went crazy. You're such an unstable person, why did you have to play with dreams? Now look what happened, you've gone mad."

The man pinned to the ground remained defiant, shouting, "I'm not crazy! I'm perfectly lucid! You're all fake, fake! Once I find Zhuge Yuan, I'll trap you all in an illusion!"

After going into a fit of madness, a person's strength becomes astonishing; one person simply cannot subdue him, and it takes several people working together to tie him up.

Even though he was tied up like a dumpling, he was still desperately clinging and biting, looking extremely insane.

Unable to bear seeing this person continue to act so erratically, a senior high school student from Tianyuan stepped forward and said, "He's so insane, why don't you give him some calming herbs?"

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because once he did, the classmate who had gone crazy sighed, "Where is there any calming herb? It's long gone. The market for calming herbs is now monopolized by tutoring centers. The price per pound has gone up from 30 cents to 50 yuan, and it's still going up. One seizure costs 150 yuan. Who can afford that?"

“Yeah, those tutoring centers are heartless,” another person sighed.

"Then why can't he not go mad?"

"Going crazy can improve your score," someone said. "The God of Literature likes good grades, so there's a rumor that the higher your score when praying, the higher your chances of getting gold. His score is exactly 399, so he wants to improve his art score by going crazy."

"There aren't many dreams that can improve art grades, but 'Dream Man: The Final Chapter' is particularly effective and fast-acting, so even though there are risks, some people still play the dream like crazy for a short period of time and then start to go crazy."

The senior high school students looked at each other, and after a long while, they took out dried calming herbs from their pockets, handed them over, and said, "Here, soak them in water and drink it; it will be more effective that way."

Upon seeing the withered calming grass, the student quickly waved his hand, saying, "No, no, this calming grass is of excellent quality, it's clearly top-grade, you can't use it."

"Don't worry, we have an abundance of calming herbs over there; we can't possibly eat them all."

"Besides, we brought quite a lot this time, so please use it as you like."

"Well... I won't stand on ceremony. But we're poor students, we don't have anything good. These are our study notes, consider them a token of our gratitude."

After exchanging items, both sides breathed a sigh of relief.

The senior students at Tianyuan High School felt joy because they helped others, while the senior students at Wenchang High School felt relaxed because of the calming herb.

Seeing how happy the other person was, the senior high school student from Tianyuan suddenly thought of something.

Seeing the cautious manner of the students from Wenchang City, a student from Tianyuan said, "My cousin went to the Labor High School for an internship a few days ago. He said that the calming herbs there were piled up like mountains and they simply couldn't handle them all."

After a moment of silence, a student whispered, "I heard that Tianyuan Agricultural Machinery Factory recently purchased a batch of new equipment."

“I’ve heard about it too, and a couple of days ago, the workers received an extra month’s wages.”

Putting these circumstances together, the high school senior felt he had discovered something.
