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

Chapter 384 Awards Ceremony (16)

On August 22nd, after the new version of "Journey to the Abyss" was updated, things started to go awry.

In this version, "My Factory" was implemented. Wang Ma, who had already run to the edge of Changsheng Prefecture, immediately updated the news on his Ah Zhan account after hearing the news, and said that he would download Dreamland when he got back and then start grinding like crazy.

If you choose a character from "My Factory", you can build Tianyuan Agricultural Machinery Factory as your base.

Each time you earn Abyss Coins, you can use them to build equipment and improve the lives of the factory workers. The workers can also work continuously and provide players with various items that can be used temporarily.

The character skill in "My Factory" allows you to consume a loot obtained in the current dream and immediately acquire a random factory device. You can then consume various low-value items to process your own weapons and armor.

Unlike other types of players, this class of players doesn't have a high demand for high-value loot; instead, they have a strong need for various low-value loot. This has led to the emergence of the "junk hunter" playstyle, where players can find a lot of loot every day and be incredibly happy.

Xu Feng really enjoyed this job. After finishing his work every day, he and Chen Yu would work as garbage collectors in the room. They would be very happy when they saw how much garbage they had eaten during the evacuation. It's hard to imagine that a billionaire capitalist would do this.

Because of the implementation of this device, the bandage guy's screw orders surged, and the ever-increasing sales made him grin from ear to ear every day.

As a result of the sales revenue, seafood and meat were continuously sent to Tianyuan, and a large number of "Forty-Year-Old Scrolls" were given away, causing the average weight of the people in Tianyuan to increase by 1.4 kilograms in a short period of time, and they all became plump and round.

The influence of the large-scale dream is still increasing. Chen Yu's "want it all" strategy has further strengthened the interconnectivity of each dream. Every dream implemented in "Journey to the Abyss" has been greatly enhanced, further increasing the influence of each dream.

If it's only up to now, then it's still okay.

The problem is that after players randomly summon the factory equipment, they discover that the factory equipment seems to have been designed by the same Foundation Establishment expert from before.

These machines are exquisitely designed, with finely crafted internal parts. The sound of the gears turning and the trajectory of the internal mechanisms are captivating; in short, they are simply irresistible.

Discussions about the machinery flooded the back garden, and players who had played the factory game began to examine themselves, wondering if there was something wrong with them.

Last time it was jade, this time it's machinery, what will it be next?
Morning Light, just how far are you going to ruin our hobbies?!
Chen Yu looked at the newly updated content and felt that things were still under his control, but there was also a sense that something was not quite right.

The feeling of impulsiveness persisted, leaving him unsure whether the Foundation Establishment expert intended to betray him or help him.

On the very day of this version update, the awards ceremony finally began.

In the past, the awards ceremony was not suspenseful, since the rankings were already predetermined and there were very few dark horses.

Many people are only competing for an excellence award or a participation award, as this will give them some free traffic support, making it easier for them to continue promoting Dreamland.

There's not much suspense this year either, because everyone knows who the winner of this month is.

The judging panel may be somewhat corrupt, but faced with overwhelming public opinion, they dare not be too corrupt.

In the back area of ​​the awards ceremony, Shen Lang saw that Chen Yu had a gloomy face and furrowed brows, and seemed to be very nervous.

Patting the other person on the shoulder, Shen Lang said, "What are you nervous about? Your dream this time was so perfect, there's no need to be nervous."

“It was us, the dream was our doing,” Chen Yu said, shaking his head. “But I’m not nervous about that, it’s just…”

"Afraid of review? Don't worry, your jade artifacts and machinery can pass review no matter where you put them. But to be this audacious, the reviewers would probably be overwhelmed. By the way, where did your artist come from? You might not see such a talented artist for decades."

"Thank you, but the problem is, I don't know who this artist is."

“…Huh?” “We can’t communicate because of the regional lock, and I don’t know how the company in the mortal world found this talent.”

Shen Lang stared wide-eyed at Chen Yu, feeling that people cannot be generalized.

Some people can find a perfect employee even if they know nothing, while our Water Deity's temple keeper can only encounter a preachy little girl.

Mother is the mother of both parents.

Thinking of that little girl, Shen Lang suddenly realized that Lian Qu hadn't appeared for a few days.

The incarnation of the Water Deity was not a fighting incarnation, but mainly a communicator and educator.

Even so, he still possesses the strength of a fully established Foundation Establishment cultivator, so theoretically he shouldn't encounter any danger.

Therefore, Shen Lang didn't worry about the other party. On the contrary, he felt much more relaxed because the other party was not around.

After patting Chen Yu on the back to encourage him, Shen Lang went to the front to prepare.

Chen Yu carefully reviewed the events, hoping to find out where this terrifying omen came from.

The situation is developing well now; negative sentiment has accumulated to 800 million, which is more than halfway to 1500 million.

Moreover, negative sentiment has been growing rapidly recently, and there will be traffic support after the victory, so I should be able to have a successful outcome before I go back.

But he just felt uneasy.

After the awards ceremony, there will be three days of sharing sessions, during which another version will be released. Hopefully, there won't be any problems.

However, since worrying was useless, Chen Yu decided to get down to business first.

The area lock is quite torturous, but the Dream Weaver profession has a strong influence, and lobbying might have a good effect.

It would be even better if some trade channels could be opened up so that I could spend more money.

He won't directly try to elicit sympathy, because in a capitalist society, sympathy can only become a tool for others to make money; what truly attracts others is profit.

Just as Chen Yu was pondering how to pique the interest of others and hoping to communicate with Tian Yuan, the awards ceremony officially began.

After the usual platitudes, the host originally intended to leave some suspense and say something witty.

However, seeing the lack of interest from the audience, he knew there was no way to rouse them.

With a helpless shrug, the host announced, "The first place is probably no longer in doubt. Let's congratulate Mr. Chen Yu from Tianyuan City, Changsheng Prefecture! When he won this award, he broke a record: the youngest dream architect to ever win a large-scale dream competition. Now, please welcome Mr. Chen Yu!"

Amid cheers from the crowd, Chen Yu walked onto the stage and waved his thanks with grace and poise.

　I wrote this in a bit of a rush, so I've revised and rewritten it. I can only update once at noon, and I'll continue this afternoon.

　　I will try my best to change my schedule back to normal as soon as possible, otherwise I will really feel bad for everyone.
