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

Chapter 285 You've Been Considered to Have Some Value (66)

The person who quietly appeared here was none other than "Xu Zilong".

He cradled the skinny cat in his arms, sitting in a corner with his assistant, Raikage. Despite the terrifying aura emanating from them, no one noticed how they had gotten in.

Looking at Xu Zilong's aura again, one immediately senses a mysterious and profound feeling about him, with even strange phenomena such as cranes and egrets behind him, highlighting his temperament as different from ordinary cultivators.

Upon seeing this, an executive who knew "Xu Zilong" exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Xu, you have perfectly achieved Foundation Establishment!"

"Yes, thanks to the favor of my ancestor, I obtained the Dao seed of the Xu family, and I have now perfectly established my foundation."

Seeing the strange phenomenon behind Xu Zilong, everyone felt extremely envious.

Foundation Establishment also varies in quality. Most people are lucky to even have the opportunity to establish a foundation, so they can't be picky.

Ordinary Daoist seeds are merely the crystallization of mass production by the Star Lord. Only a few exceptionally talented individuals have the opportunity to be specially treated by the Star Lord and bestowed with seeds containing the Star Lord's aura.

After that, even just reaching the Foundation Establishment stage might grant one a portion of the Star Lord's authority, and one would be born with one of the Star Lord's supernatural powers. One could also release the Star Lord's extraordinary phenomena, and even sitting still would reveal one's unique charisma.

(Originally, it was thought that Xu Zilong had fallen out of favor, but unexpectedly, he has risen again so quickly and even gained the favor of the Xu family patriarch.)
(Appearances can be deceiving. This Xu Zilong looks respectable, but who knows how many times he secretly undermined himself to get this opportunity.)
(I also wish I had an ancestor to back me up...)
Various thoughts flowed through everyone's mind.

Xu Zilong looked at the top of their heads and smiled without saying a word.

After achieving perfect foundation building, one of his "father's" supernatural abilities was passed down to him and became one of his own supernatural abilities.

If he wants, he can see bubbles rising above other people's heads, and these bubbles, like emojis on a phone, express their thoughts through symbols.

Positive thoughts are white, and negative thoughts are black.

Using this method, "Xu Zilong" can see their thoughts. Although not necessarily accurate, it can at least determine whether they are positive or negative.

He had been hiding in the shadows, listening to their thoughts and comparing their statements, and now he had figured out their personalities.

This is a newly established small company.

The company is small in scale, and its function is to evade supervision, raise funds, and then engage in some gray-area industries.

This time, the company's funds flowed into the casino, and the gambling god won. Unexpectedly, Chen Yu has appeared as a variable, making the whole plan dangerous.

Everyone present looked at Xu Zilong, unable to figure out his purpose.

Finally, one of them couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Xu, is there anything I can help you with?"

Looking at the top of the other person's head, "Xu Zilong" saw that the other person was full of question marks, and suddenly said with a wry smile, "To be honest, I may be going bankrupt."

The unexpected opening remarks piqued the interest of others, prompting them to ask, "How could Young Master Xu have gone bankrupt?"

"It's alright, Young Master Xu has already achieved perfect Foundation Establishment, so even if he goes bankrupt, he can still have a decent income."

"What on earth could have caused Young Master Xu to go bankrupt?"

Seeing that people had taken the bait, Xu Zilong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm just like you, betting that the Outer God will win. But it seems that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's winning rate is slowly increasing, and the outcome is hard to predict now."

The shared predicament brought them closer together, making them overlook why the other was there in the first place.

At the same time, Xu Zilong's Daoist aura was spreading. Those who were enveloped in it were captured by the Daoist aura as soon as they felt a sense of closeness, and they became more and more trusting of Xu Zilong.

Stroking the black cat in his arms, Xu Zilong said, "I know you have already sent people to assassinate that puppet hero, but the opponent is too strong. Unless we persuade the military of Changsheng Prefecture, it is impossible to succeed."

"Yes..." "Why would that person join Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for no reason? If he were willing to come to our side, we could offer two or even three times the amount!"

"Exactly! We can talk, we can talk! Even if he wants me to be his human chair, that's not out of the question!"

Hearing the crowd's dissatisfaction, "Xu Zilong" continued, "The opponent is strong, strong because of their puppets. As long as we break their puppets, then everything will be fine."

"Young Master Xu makes it sound so easy, but the problem is that Fengdu University has a Life and Death Reincarnation Array. How do we break it?"

“It’s naturally difficult for us to break through, but if we can let the evil spirits in, then it will be much easier to break through.”

After a pause, "Xu Zilong" continued, "You have all seen the abilities of the Outer God. He has gone mad, but his ability to imitate has become even more outstanding. If we can make the demons He sends imitate the normal behavior of the cultivators here, then we should be able to fool the ghost cultivators stationed here and let those demons in."

"The more demons we release, the greater the destruction will be. Our pilots can also take the opportunity to destroy the enemy's puppets, allowing Fengdu University to fall completely."

After Xu Zilong finished explaining his plan, the meeting room fell silent for a moment.

But soon, the people in the conference room let out a series of exclamations.

"Impressive! As expected of Young Master Xu, he easily came up with a plan that we couldn't have thought of!"

"We were surprised to discover their skill in imitation so quickly; we hadn't even noticed it before."

"But how do we get enough people to imitate them?"

"That's easy. I have a group of employees I want to fire, so I'll just send them over."

“I also have a group of employees here, I’ll send them over too.”

"Me too, it just saved me from severance pay."

"I'm also worried about what to do with employees who are 60 years old. Maybe I should just let them go."

Seeing the enthusiastic crowd, Xu Zilong stroked the black cat's head, feeling the power emanating from its body.

Cats are very cute creatures.

But it's not smart at all.

It is a combination of contradictory mechanisms: the desire to survive, the desire to eat, the desire to escape, the desire to reproduce... These desires merge within it and are triggered according to a strange logic, which makes cats often do inexplicable things.

Just like that mad Outer God.

Through some of the "father's" methods, the other party's avatar has transformed into the cat in his arms, and he can see the things around him through the cat's eyes, confirming that "Xu Zilong" is helping him.

The gratitude of the Outer God was transformed into power and fed back to Xu Zilong.

Once this power has accumulated to a certain level, he will be able to go to the battlefield and become the decisive force in determining the outcome of the battle.

However, to ensure everything goes smoothly, Chen Yu, the biggest variable, must be eliminated.

The thought of getting rid of Chen Yu through someone else filled Xu Zilong with immense joy.

That was the obsession of the real Xu Zilong within him, which also brought the "father" a long-lost joy.

"If you can make me happy, then you've got some value, Chen Yu."
