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

Chapter 274 Taiji Thunder Pool and Wind God Formation (16)

"Back then, operating puppets was different from now. Now puppets are so easy to operate. Just insert the tube, send in the mana pool, and then it's all about going at it like crazy."

"The year I died, you had to be 25 to get a driver's license. First you had to take a written test, then an interview, and after that you had to become an apprentice before you could start learning. It took seven or eight years to learn it."

"Actually, I also have a talent for driving, and I can even pilot a puppet!"

Chen Yu looked at Zhong Zheng, who was reminiscing about the past, and actually heard a sense of vicissitude in the other's tone.

It was only at this moment that Chen Yu realized the other party was a centuries-old ghost, a fact he usually forgot.

The other party's reasons were also quite valid, after all, the difficulty of piloting the puppet has been decreasing, and the puppet was indeed more difficult to pilot back then.

But Zhong Zheng's purpose was not to drive the puppet around town, but to fight a war.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu asked, puzzled, "I know that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is a very good star lord, and a rare one who is willing to help ghost cultivators. But what is He fighting against?"

"Outer Gods."

Unfurling the Emperor's Banner, Zhong Zheng shielded the surroundings and explained in detail the origins of the Outer Gods and the reasons for the war.

Almost all the ghost cultivators who had received the protection of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva were summoned, and the relevant knowledge was no longer a secret; they could communicate with the relevant people.

After explaining, Zhong Zheng looked at Chen Yu and asked, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I can roughly understand it. It's about an outer god trying to devour Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and you all go to help Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva fight. Can you win?"

“We can’t win, but we have to fight. I owe Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva a great debt of gratitude, and if I don’t repay it, I won’t be able to have peace of mind even if I enter the cycle of reincarnation. Besides, that external god is insane.”

How do you know he's mentally ill?

"A proper non-god would have ten thousand heads!"

Chen Yu imagined it for a moment and felt that the angels in the West in his previous life were also like this.

Seeing Zhong Zheng's determined look, Chen Yu knew that the other party was absolutely determined to go.

With a helpless shrug, Chen Yu said to Zhong Zheng, "Let's go to the factory and see what you're capable of."

"Don't worry, my operating skills will definitely open your eyes."

Chen Yu hadn't held out much hope to begin with, but after seeing Zhong Zheng throw out the puppet arm he was using for testing and declare that it was his Iron Fist, Chen Yu was certain that Zhong Zheng was definitely not suitable to be a pilot.

No wonder it's so hard to get a driver's license these days; people are constantly losing arms and legs. Which driving school can handle that?
With a long sigh, Chen Yu asked, puzzled, "What's the point of someone like you, a master of weapon refining, going to a battle between Star Lords?"

"Going with the puppet might offer some advantage, but without it, there's nothing left. Going might lead to regret, but not going would definitely be a regret! I, Zhong Zheng, may have nothing else but a pure and upright heart, willing to die a hundred times without regret!"

Hearing Zhong Zheng say this, Chen Yu knew that the other party was definitely going.

Looking at the time, Chen Yu realized it was past nine in the morning and asked, "Can non-ghost cultivators participate in this battle?"

"Okay... Chen Yu, what are you planning to do? You don't actually want to participate, do you?"

"Yes. Don't worry, I'll buy insurance for the Yellow Springs Star Lord, and it'll be the best insurance, hundreds of thousands per claim, the kind that brings you back to life immediately after death."

"Chen Yu..."

“I’m not familiar with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but I am familiar with you. You clearly don’t intend to come back alive, and I won’t allow that to happen. There’s a lot of mess in Changsheng Prefecture, and it can’t function without you as the supervisor.”

"...Thank you. But Zhao Ziri won't agree. Even if you can be brought back, there is great terror between life and death. Once your Dao heart is broken, it's not so easy to get it back."

"So we need to set off while Teacher Zhao is away. Besides, our resolve isn't that fragile. I'll ask Ma Daqiang to ask the class monitor for leave. Liu Qing has a sharp eye; she'll probably figure out what I'm going to do."

"it is good!"

"Then I'll talk to my new employee and ask him to handle the company's business temporarily."

"Ok."

"When will the battle begin?" "Tonight at midnight!"

Chen Yu gasped: "The fight starts tonight, and you're only now starting to learn how to drive?"

I believe I can do it!

“You’re mistaken. Could you please explain the situation to my new employee? I forgot to add her as a friend yesterday. Then I need to check on the Yu Lin Type 7. Let’s split up.”

"Understood!"

After seeing Zhong Zheng off, Chen Yu began to check on the condition of the Yu Lin Type 7.

He was the one who brought this puppet back. After bringing it back, he had the tall, thin man and Master Gong study and restore it together, and incidentally, he let them spend the factory's funds.

Originally, he just wanted to use up some of the factory's funds, but unexpectedly, it worked out in his favor.

The restored Yulin 7 remains 121 meters tall, but its weight has increased to 121 tons.

The cockpit was reconfigured and reinforced with armor at the fists to allow Chen Yu to fully utilize his fighting talent.

Upon learning that Chen Yu was going to take out a fight in a Yulin 7, Master Gong asked in surprise, "What is it that requires you, Mr. Chen, to take out a fight in this thing?"

"...part of the plan."

"Oh, I understand. But Mr. Chen, why do you look like you're about to cry?"

"It's nothing. I just felt the weakness and depravity of humanity, and I have to admit that this phrase is really useful."

Master Gong, with a lollipop in his mouth, looked at Chen Yu with a puzzled expression, marveling at how unfathomable President Chen was, whose words were truly philosophical.

Patting the repaired Yulin Type 7, Master Gong continued, "This is a good thing, but it would be even more impressive if it could be fitted with magical artifacts."

"What kind of magical artifact?"

"The Tai Chi Thunder Pool and the Wind God Formation are both special formations for large puppets. The former can imbue fists with the power of thunder, while the latter can greatly enhance the puppet's agility. If both are prepared, the puppet's abilities can be increased to at least three times its original strength, but the difficulty of operation will also increase to three times."

"That sounds familiar."

"Yes, Tianyuan had one before, but it was later placed inside the Wind God and Thunder God puppets. Now it's kept at the entrance of Labor High School as a door god."

"Buy it."

"Ok?"

"No matter the cost, buy it! Then get the entire factory staff to come and modify it. The modification must be completed by 7 p.m. tonight."

Originally, Chen Yu only wanted to participate in the war, but now he feels that he should be able to take control of the battle.

No man can resist the temptation of higher, faster, and stronger!

Today, I will transform into a red comet and show you all what it means to be red, horned, and three times faster!
Master Gong looked at Chen Yu and sensed that something was wrong.

Holding Chen Yu's shoulder, Master Gong asked seriously, "Mr. Chen, tell me the truth, who exactly are you going to beat up?"

"I can't say, but don't worry, Master Gong, I will definitely come back safely."

After staring at Chen Yu for a long time, Gong Jin finally nodded and said, "I understand."

He crushed the lollipop in his mouth, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Get moving! Everyone get moving! We're about to have a big job!"

The factory workers began to move, working together like ants to dismantle the puppet in front of them, preparing to put the large formation inside.

　As usual, let's start at midnight.
