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

Chapter 234 is now complete (36)

While Miao Qingyu's live stream was in full swing, Chen Yu, looking at his suddenly increased positive emotions, felt something was off.

The second chapter of "Out of Control" had only been updated for one day when he immediately received a large amount of negative emotions, bringing his accumulated negative emotions to three million.

The negative emotions increased slowly, which shows that I have a good grasp of my emotions, and the overall curve is not much different from what I expected.

But positive emotions are a bit of a problem.

Just now, my positive emotions had a huge outburst. Six hundred thousand emotions are roughly equivalent to one affirmation from the Star Lord, bringing my total positive emotions to two million.

Although there was still a long way to go to reach the five million mark, Chen Yu was still uneasy.

I didn't ask you to stay still forever, but what's with you suddenly having 600,000?

One time is 600,000, two times is 1.2 million, four times is 2.4 million, and eight times is 4.8 million. In the end, it is 10,000 times the merit of the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, which is basically the true body of merit.

As the demon king of Taoism, I have to stop you, really.

The problem now is that Chen Yu doesn't know where this positive emotion comes from.

But it shouldn't be in Tianyuan, because Tianyuan doesn't have that many cultivators providing so much emotion.

Re-entering Chapter Two of "Out of Control," Chen Yu carefully examined the previous content but still couldn't find where the dream initially provided positive emotions.

He arranged for himself a terrifying groom, a horrible ant butcher, an elusive shadow walker, a temple keeper who began to worship an evil god, a demonic cultivator whose body had already decomposed into a pile of rotten flesh, a muscle demon with an overdose of drugs, and a ghost cultivator who had completely lost control.

These are all based on real-life prototypes, and the prototypes are already quite terrifying. They further deepen these prototypes based on reality, ensuring that they will scare people half to death.

Because of historical factors, the Tianyuan people harbor deep resentment towards these individuals and the former committee behind them, which fuels their continued involvement in the game.

After passing the second stage, they will gain a better understanding of the inside story of what happened back then and realize that Ant Power itself was not at fault; the fault lay with the unscrupulous Ant Power company and those people on the former committee.

In this way, the resentment was transferred to the former committee, the gold-eating ant was exonerated, and it also gained negative emotions, with everything proceeding according to its own script.

So, where did this positive sentiment come from?

Looking up the sales figures for Dreamland, Chen Yu discovered that Tianyuan had sold 12,000 copies, but the actual completion rate for the first chapter was only 10%.

Most players buy it because the Dreamland purchase includes a free barbecue roll; a 300 RMB purchase includes a 450 RMB worth of barbecue roll, and many people are drawn to it for this reason.

Some of these people only got started and then dared not play anymore. After all, such terrifying dreams are rare, and they are not perverts who would derive pleasure from being tortured.

Half of them are still groping around, suffering in their dreams, and occasionally coming up to ask how to get through a certain stuck point.

Some of the stronger players have already passed the first chapter and are now battling it out in the second chapter.

These players received messages from the dream to varying degrees, became curious about the gold-eating ants, and began to try raising them here.

Jiang Qiao's guild has grown to five hundred members, the first batch of Gold-Eating Ant nests has appeared, and they have started producing Gold-Eating Ants, which have been successfully bought back by the factory.

This small success greatly encouraged everyone, and they then became even more proactive in finding ways to raise gold-eating ants.

But five hundred people are not enough to support so much positive emotion; there must be some little devils behind his back that he doesn't know about.

Feeling that he might have missed something, Chen Yu decided to go and explore the relevant locations first.

After getting into a taxi, Chen Yu went directly to Tianyuan Agricultural Machinery Factory and found that it had changed again after just a few days.

There used to be a large landfill around the factory, and every time I passed by, I could smell a pungent odor. Large amounts of industrial and domestic waste were piled up there, and after rain, wastewater flowing out of it would carry a lot of dense foam and colorful ink, and then flow into the nearby river.

The neighborhood children, who are used to all this, play here, wrestling around with screws and scrap steel they've salvaged from the ruins, while the adults don't bother them.

However, when Chen Yu came here today, he found that the landfill was much smaller.

The children who used to run around and scavenge in the garbage dump have changed. They now stand next to the garbage dump, watching it, and occasionally shout, "It's moving! It's moving!"

After watching from a distance for a while, Chen Yu discovered that Jin Cheng's younger brother, Jin Tun, was also among the children.

He is now working part-time and studying part-time. He studies Qi cultivation, meditation, and cultural knowledge at the monk school every day. Occasionally, he will come over to fight and play with other children. His life is much happier than before.

Moreover, now that his diet has improved, he has grown taller and looks a bit like a stick insect, with his arms and legs becoming very thin.

Sensing someone behind him, Jin Tun turned around and excitedly waved to Chen Yu in the distance, shouting, "Brother Chen Yu, you're here!"

Chen Yu strode over and looked ahead, asking, "What are you doing?"

"Look at the gold-eating ants! Look, another wave is coming!"

The trash began to churn, and thumb-sized gold-eating ants emerged from it, then nonchalantly began eating the trash in front of them.

These ants are advantageous in every way except for the difficulty in hatching and raising them.

They are not picky about anything; industrial waste and other waste materials are their food.

Moreover, these ants are very clean. All kinds of metals are their excrement. After sorting them out, they will push them to a designated location. Workers only need to collect them periodically and remelt them.

After watching for a while, Chen Yu roughly estimated that there were about a million gold-eating ants active in the area.

Although it was already pretty good, Chen Yu felt it wasn't enough.

Those guys from the former committee are still eyeing us covetously. The cultivation of the Gold-Eating Ants must be accelerated so that those guys from the former committee will get their comeuppance.

After observing for a while, he noticed someone walk up the garbage mountain and scatter some powder.

Then, the entire garbage mountain began to shake, and a large number of gold-eating ants crawled over, greedily devouring the powder.

The gold-eating ants that had consumed the powder were noticeably larger and stronger.

They reluctantly left after eating all the powder in the vicinity, and went on to eat the garbage.

Seeing this, Chen Yu's eyes lit up, and he pulled Jin Tun aside to ask, "What are those things?"

"Spirit Beast Growth Promoter, which can promote the growth of spirit beasts."

"Such good stuff, why not feed it more?"

"Because it's expensive! One bucket costs two hundred mana, and it's gone in ten days. As the ants multiply, the consumption will increase even more. To save costs, we can only feed them less."

"That won't do! Fill it up, fill it completely! One bucket for each ant, feed them all!"

Seeing Chen Yu's excitement, Jin Tun silently looked away.

Chen Yu is a good guy, but he's a bit strange sometimes.
