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

Chapter 368 We're All the Same (26)

Although Xu Feng is one of the heirs of the Xu Group, Chen Yu has a good relationship with him.

The two haven't met recently, but Xu Feng often chats with Chen Yu online, showing concern for his well-being and occasionally revealing some key information.

Sitting on Xu Feng's flying shuttle, Chen Yu drank the hot tea that the other party had brought him, and his mind relaxed.

"Thank you so much, Xu Feng. Without you, I would have had to walk to the hotel."

"You're too kind." Xu Feng, sitting opposite Chen Yu, sipped his tea elegantly and said with a smile, "We don't need to say such things. I'm quite happy to be able to chat with you in a taxi."

After not seeing him for several days, Chen Yu noticed that Xu Feng had become much more aristocratic.

The other party preferred white, and his formal attire was also predominantly white, with a modern style that mixed some classic elements, and it fit his figure perfectly, making him look upright and dashing.

Even the way she drinks tea is flawless, making you feel that she is a natural star who can shine wherever she is.

After staring at Xu Feng for a while, Chen Yu asked curiously, "You got promoted again recently?"

"Yes, he's currently ranked twenty-ninth, which is barely enough to be considered as entering the core group of the family. But I have to tell you some bad news: Xu Zilong is now ranked tenth."

"How could someone who's been beaten up like that still be ranked tenth?"

"Yes, I find it strange too. Last time he went down to the lower realm, he lost the Eight Forms of the Feathered Forest Army, a bunch of small allies, and the loan type he was pushing hard couldn't be pushed through. In the end, he even brought back a calamity. Logically speaking, these experiences should have finished him off long ago, but I didn't expect him to improve instead."

Xu Feng picked up his phone, operated it for a while, and then handed it to Chen Yu.

Taking the phone, Chen Yu discovered it contained an internal announcement from the Xu Group, the contents of which were quite eye-opening.

The first word, "internal praise," made Chen Yu suspect that he was reading something fake. Only after repeatedly confirming that it was a report related to the events in the lower realm did he continue reading.

[Internal commendation!]

[Mr. Xu Zilong, the business manager of our company, despite his high position, still took the lead and demonstrated a spirit of not fearing hardship or death. He personally went to the mortal realm and mingled with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and others, greatly enhancing the reputation of the Xu Group and showcasing its style and magnanimity.]

[Furthermore, he personally tested the actual performance of the Feathered Forest Eighth Formation, expanding the application range of the puppet. He also commissioned other pilots to test the shield's performance, proving that the shield possessed the power to withstand the Demon-Slaying Cannon.]

[Following this, they actively forged a partnership with Outer God, becoming its close collaborator. The Group would like to extend its special commendation to Mr. Xu Zilong and encourage everyone to learn from his example and strive for even greater achievements.]

[Announcement from the Internal Affairs Office of the Xu Group.]

After watching it, Chen Yu felt that these people were really talented, they were able to turn a funeral into a celebration to this extent.

Despite suffering a crushing defeat, he managed to write about feeling like he won.

And what does it mean to entrust another driver?
You guys are really something, managing to describe the capture of equipment so euphemistically.

Seeing Chen Yu's constipated expression, Xu Feng said with a wry smile, "Isn't that weird? I think so too. And they even got 300 points as a reward, which is about 300 million. I really don't understand what the internal office is all about?"

"What kind of organization is your Internal Affairs Office?"

"They only obey the orders of the Xu family patriarch, which you can think of as the Imperial Guard. However, they also have veto power, external auditing power, direct personnel appointment and dismissal power, and the power to distribute points, making them a very powerful department within the Xu family. Because they directly obey the patriarch's orders, it can be understood that the patriarch values ​​Xu Zilong very much."

"What kind of feudal monarchy is this? The emperor's favor is everything, right? There are so many strange systems here." "Is it? I'm used to it, but Chen Yu, you haven't had much exposure to it, so you're probably not used to it yet. There's a speed limit here, and it'll take another five hours to get to the city. Let's have a fight!"

"...Are you a follower of Khorne? Do you only know how to communicate with your fists when we meet? Or should we play in the dream world?"

"Great! Is the newest dream game 'Journey to the Abyss'? I haven't started playing it yet, let's play together?"

"You go ahead and play. I want to see the scenery outside and see what's going on in the upper realm."

Since the shuttle belonged to Xu Feng, Chen Yu did not need to pay to ride it.

Through the window, Chen Yu saw that each Sky Elevator station was connected to the main city by only one passage. A large number of cultivators walked along the passage, heading to the city with anticipation, ready to embrace their new life.

However, considering that even breathing costs money, Chen Yu felt that this place was not a good place to go.

While he was observing his surroundings, Xu Feng had already fallen into a dream and started the game as "Sun Huowang".

Unlike the demon-catching master, Sun Huowang's abilities are quite bizarre.

This character's skills are related to health; only when health falls below a certain level can various additional skills be used.

When health is below 80%, movement speed and attack speed increase, spell cooldown time is reduced, and the effect is better the lower the health.

When health drops below 60%, you can summon flames at the cost of losing 1% of your health per second, which will cause continuous damage to enemies upon contact.

If your health drops below 40%, you can sacrifice 20% of your health to summon a phantom of a random deceased player or non-player. The phantom will possess all the deceased's abilities and will last for 12 seconds.

When your health drops below 10%, you can summon a Ba Hui to possess you and attack any enemy in your field of vision indiscriminately. However, if you're unlucky, you'll probably kill yourself first.

"Journey to the Abyss" is a dream world with a strong gambling element, and the character Sun Huowang is even more gambling-oriented and has a higher sensitivity to his own health.

To play this character well, you need to pay attention to your health at all times, and try to choose equipment that increases your health to improve your survivability.

Playing this character when you're unlucky is just like feeding kills to the enemy.

But once luck strikes, they become the chosen ones, experiencing incredible joy.

Xu Feng had already logged off, but he was too busy with work at the group, so he only had time to travel now.

As soon as he entered, he felt as if he had a destiny bestowed upon him, and instantly felt incredibly good.

The healing sets come one by one, and the little gold items drop one by one. They're not afraid of being beaten up at all. Let the Ba Hui possess them!

What was supposed to be a dream requiring infiltration, investigation, and retreat was transformed by him into a chaotic mowing-down-enemies scenario, making him laugh excitedly nonstop.

It doesn't matter even if the newbie has been protected!
The thrill of winning has become a fixed circuit in his mind, and ordinary ways of winning can no longer satisfy him!
To win, you have to enjoy it from beginning to end, and keep winning!

It doesn't matter if I lose too many times, as long as I can win just once, then I'll feel great!
Therefore, although it seems like each game can generate millions in revenue, Xu Feng often enjoys himself in one game and then gives away the next, making an indelible contribution to the economic cycle of "Journey to the Abyss".

Seeing Xu Feng's alternating expressions of laughter and tears, Chen Yu realized that everyone was the same.
