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

Chapter 233 I was wrong! (26)

Seeing the elderly man in the wheelchair in front of her and hearing the heavenly music in her ears, Miao Qingyu almost knelt down before him!
The moment the new character was unlocked, all the previous oppression and fear were completely released. The sense of security that followed almost overwhelmed Miao Qingyu, making her cry tears of joy.

"I thank the heavens! I thank the earth! I thank that anonymous author, thank you for letting me find this old man! I am a master of dreams, I am a primordial saint! Finding this place is my extraordinary talent, I am the strongest!"

[It's over, Qingyu has gone mad too.]

Here's five yuan. Go buy some medicine.

"You should go to class; it's almost time."

"What classes? I'm doing social practice right now. Even the old hag would praise me for being dedicated to my job! I'm from the Hehuan Sect, and pampering my fans is my job and my learning mission!"

You just want to play with dreams.

"So what if it is! Is spoiling fans contradictory to playing Dream World? I'm asking you, is it contradictory?!"

Having gained a strong sense of security, Miao Qingyu has completely let loose and is speaking more and more recklessly.

She even dared to turn around and face the Shadow Stepper behind her, smiling at the other's festering, pus-filled face, saying, "You little rascal, you've got something special. Come on, let's get started!"

Before finding a safe spot: I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong. After finding it: What the hell did I do wrong?!

[His initial obsequiousness followed by arrogance is laughable.]

This fully demonstrates that human courage does not stem from moral principles, but rather from a sense of security.

Not content with charging head-on into the Shadowwalker's face, Miao Qingyu now plunged directly into the darkness, shouting as she ran, "Come on, kill me! New character unlocked! I'm not afraid of you!"

She wouldn't even care if the ranch ants dragged her underground.

Anyway, I've unlocked my new character!

After successfully causing her own demise, she returned to the starting point, looked at the portrait of her dead self and commented on it, then happily chose a new character and entered the dream again.

However, after choosing the old man, Miao Qingyu discovered that the underworld was only just beginning.

Although the previous journalistic route was fraught with danger, with all sorts of lunatics appearing one after another, and traps and mechanisms on the ground constantly testing people's mentality, at least the people were normal.

But the old man is not normal.

He was old and his eyesight was failing, his hearing was not good, and he was still just an ordinary person.

After selecting the elderly person to enter the dream, Miao Qingyu discovered that the room where the elderly person was imprisoned was not simple, but rather full of books and daily necessities.

Among the numerous books, the old man's diary was displayed.

After reading the old man's diary, his identity became clear:

The true inventor of Ant Power!
This discovery startled Miao Qingyu, who then understood why the place where the old man was located was so safe.

Although he was just an ordinary person, the old man longed for cultivation and hoped to gain the power of a cultivator.

To achieve this goal, he chose the path most likely to realize his dream: Dan Tu.

The Path of Alchemy is one of the projects that ordinary people can participate in. As long as one is good at physics and chemistry, and has a course in alchemy with a pass rate of only 3%, then an ordinary person also has the opportunity to become an alchemist. However, it requires a lot of money to buy equipment and magic power to support one's research.

The old man, as expected of a genius, actually passed the test with his mortal body and became one of the few mortal alchemists.

Afterwards, he continued to study and developed several pill formulas. He was then hired by Ant Power's parent company to become an alchemist there.

Ant Power is the elixir he made here. Its effects are only average compared to many similar drugs, but its cost is very low, requiring only ant extract to make.

Initially, Ant Power's formula was relatively mild, but in pursuit of higher profits, its parent company significantly increased the amount of blood-burning ingredients and gradually reduced the proportion of ant extract until it was completely eliminated. In addition, they added numerous addictive ingredients, ultimately leading to the Ant Power controversy that swept through Tianyuan.

After learning that the old man was going to expose the whole thing, Ant Power's parent company and the former Tianyuan Cultivator Management Committee decisively imprisoned him here and forced him to constantly update Ant Power's formula.

All the patients here are products of the parent company and the former committee. Many of them were secretly transported here to become guinea pigs for the two companies' drug trials.

The brutal drug trials drove many people to madness. Just before Miao Qingyu arrived, a patient riot had occurred here, with doctors and nurses who had treated patients roughly being hanged, and patients taking over the entire hospital.

An old man was behind this; an imprisoned mortal elder patiently endured and eventually passed the message to "Miao Qingyu" outside, thus triggering this riot.

At the end of the notebook, the old man wrote: "I will likely die, but I would rather die than live under the control of the committee and Ant Power Company. My last wish is that you take all the evidence I have collected out of here."

After carefully reading the old man's notes, Miao Qingyu gradually calmed down.

The old woman's notes contain many events she didn't experience. It seems the old woman should actually be unlocked later in the story. I was just lucky to stumble upon this place and unlock the old woman.

Although some content was missing, it did not prevent her from understanding the elderly and empathizing with them.

An ordinary person with a strong interest and talent in alchemy joins the company to pursue his dream, hoping to use his skills and serve Tianyuan.

Unexpectedly, he became an accomplice to the other party, and in the end, he lost his freedom and lived a miserable existence in this small place.

The viewers in the live stream had mixed feelings after watching it.

[The other person was just a mortal; they should be dead by now.]

[This is highly likely; the Tianyuan committee is too wicked!]

[It's the former committee; the current committee is not the same as the previous one.]

The former committee was terrible!

It really feels terrible. All the achievements of a lifetime have turned out like this...

The patients here are pitiful too. They came in seeking treatment, but who would have thought they'd turn into monsters?

Suddenly I feel like the place I live in is quite benevolent; at least when they find people to test drugs, they explain the possible side effects beforehand, and they even pay them.

Companies that don't pay should be shut down.

After sharing her feelings with the viewers in the live stream, Miao Qingyu began to study the characteristics of the elderly.

The old man was imprisoned in a sturdy iron cage, protected by magic and arrays, making it impossible for him to escape.

However, the old man had been making medicine here for many years, and some people had been subtly controlled by him and had begun to obey his orders.

These people are not clear-headed and can easily misinterpret the old man's meaning, but they can walk around here as madmen and will not be attacked by other madmen.

Among them were even the Shadow Walkers who had been tormenting her all along. This discovery left Miao Qingyu both amused and exasperated, yet it also felt quite reasonable.

You managed to turn enemies into allies with just one character, anonymously, you're really something!

Besides these remotely controllable characters, the hospital also stores information on many terrifying mutated patients. Reading this information filled Miao Qingyu with confidence, making her feel that she could return to "Miao Qingyu's" body and continue her dream.

This time, she can finally show what "the breath of sunrise, the demeanor of a master" truly means.

In just five minutes, she was chased by several uncontrollable lunatics, tears streaming down her face. She cried and cried out, "I was wrong, I was really wrong this time! Please, don't kill me!"
