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

Chapter 387 The Uncanny Valley Effect in Text (46)

When Lian Qu collapsed, Chen Yu had already finished his work for the past few days and was preparing to go home.

Sitting on Xu Feng's flying shuttle, he looked at the mosaic behind him with emotion, feeling that the past few days had been quite fulfilling.

They won first place in a large-scale dream competition, found a new business model, and met an amazing little angel.

He had a large number of contracts in his pocket. Once he got back, he could activate the server expansion mode and then exploit Meng Lingyi to the death to avenge himself for the past few days.

The only regret was not finding the guy who suddenly imposed the ban. If he knew who it was, Chen Yu would definitely kill him first, then invite him to his own Human Emperor Flag as a guest, and then interrogate him in detail about the reasons for targeting him.

On the shuttle, Xu Feng also felt a little regretful.

The white mosaic figure looked out sadly and suddenly said, "The thought of parting with Brother Chen is like a knife to my heart. I feel there's no point in staying here any longer."

"I can't hold on any longer if we don't leave. We only have a dozen or so breaths of oxygen left."

"That's true. I'll try to help lift the ban next time, otherwise it's too troublesome."

"Hmm. By the way, I suddenly remembered that Mr. Zhao brought senior high school students here before. How did he solve the oxygen problem?"

"I heard that they kept beating the water until they could produce oxygen by hand."

Chen Yu stared speechlessly at the mosaic named Xu Feng, wondering why the other party would believe such a rumor.

Breaking chemical bonds with bare hands...

Why don't you say he can mold charcoal into diamonds?

But if it's Teacher Zhao, for some reason, it feels somewhat possible.

All I can say is that Teacher Zhao is Teacher Zhao, one of the most incredible beings in Tianyuan.

While chatting with Xu Feng about interesting topics, Chen Yu pondered how Tianyuan would distribute these contracts and how to passively reap the benefits of negative emotions.

If things continue to develop as they are, "Journey to the Abyss" will become the biggest breeding ground for his negative emotions. In the future, he can lie down and cultivate, enjoying a good life of being lazy while cultivating.

Wow, I'd be laughing in my sleep!

Arriving at the Sky Elevator, he bid a reluctant farewell to Mosaic Xu Feng, then sat down in his chair, preparing to go home.

Beside him, Meng Lingyi floated in the air and said regretfully, "We have to leave already. The Upper Realm is so beautiful, I haven't seen enough of it yet."

"All I can see are mosaics. If it weren't for the numerous contracts I collected, this trip would have been a waste."

"You really have no luck with the eyes."

"You have the nerve to say that! I haven't seen you leave the house these past few days; you've been daydreaming the whole time!"

"Who told you to have such fun dreams?"

"It's my fault!"

"Stop arguing, we're getting ready to leave."

Before Chen Yu could say anything more, he noticed that the Sky Elevator, which was starting up, suddenly stopped.

Then, an announcement came over the loudspeaker: "We regret to inform you that due to unknown reasons, the Sky Elevator is temporarily out of service. Please proceed to the departure lounge and we will provide further information later."

After repeating the announcement three times, the announcement paused briefly before continuing: "For tourists with insufficient oxygen, we offer refrigeration services to ensure the proper preservation of your body."

After another pause, the announcement came on again: "Is Mr. Chen Yu here? Is Mr. Chen Yu here? Your friend Shen Lang is waiting for you in the waiting area. Please meet with him as soon as possible."

Chen Yu listened to the broadcast in silence, then turned to Meng Lingyi and asked solemnly, "Meng Lingyi, how much oxygen do I have left?"

"...Sixteen mouths, enough for four days."

“…Damn it.” Immediately, Chen Yu reverted to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva visualization method, visualizing a large number of chloroplasts on his body, allowing him to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen on his own, thus enabling him to last for a few more days.

Afterwards, he left the Sky Elevator with his few belongings and found Shen Lang in the waiting hall, along with Xu Feng who was with him.

Sitting down opposite Shen Lang, Chen Yu asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Shen Lang didn't beat around the bush; a solemn expression appeared on his square face: "The Water Deity Star Lord has lost contact. The Water Deity Star Lord's incarnation was active here before. Until the matter is clarified, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Upper Realm."

"Why? Was there any sign?"

"We don't know yet; the head priest is trying to make contact."

"Have you sought help from the other Four Virtuous Star Lords?"

"No, at this time, not only should we not contact the other party, but we should also ask the other four Virtue Star Lords to stay away."

Seeing Chen Yu's confused expression, Shen Lang explained, "The Five Virtue Star Lords are connected by the same energy. If one of them has a problem, all four may be affected. Under normal circumstances, it would be fine, but such a sudden loss of contact is extremely rare. Without knowing what happened, it is best to isolate ourselves to avoid more serious problems."

Looking at the little angel in front of him, Chen Yu asked sincerely, "What can I do to help you?"

Shen Lang looked up, his square face filled with gratitude: "Yes. If there's a real need, could we borrow 'Journey to the Abyss'?"

"Why is this again?"

"Just in case. Some problems may require the help of the Dream Star Lord. As a Great Star Lord, the Dream Star Lord has the great supernatural power to turn the illusory into the real. At that time, some of the problems can be transformed into dreams through the server and then resolved in the dream."

"So amazing!"

"Yes, it mainly utilizes the characteristic of servers that combine virtual and real elements, which is why this effect can be achieved. Don't worry, I guarantee it's just a rental, there won't be any problems. Even if there are problems, they'll only crash your server, and the Water Deity Temple will be responsible for building a new one."

Feeling the contract in his pocket, Chen Yu knew that half of it was brought by Shen Lang.

These contracts are worth far more than the server, and Chen Yu still appreciates the little angel who didn't betray him but instead helped him.

Therefore, after a brief moment of thought, Chen Yu nodded and said, "Yes, that's fine, no problem."

"That's great, thank you."

Letting out a long breath, Shen Lang covered his head and waited anxiously for news.

Although he always complained about his nagging little girl, the thought of losing her made Shen Lang feel a sense of fear rising from the depths of his heart.

Shen Lang continuously drew the ritual symbols of the Water Deity Star Lord in his palm, chanting incantations and praying for the Water Deity Star Lord.

Chen Yu and Xu Feng stood on either side of Shen Lang, quietly closing their eyes to rest, providing him with invisible support.

Meng Lingyi is also actively contacting the Dream Star Lord and reporting progress in real time.

After an unknown amount of time, Meng Lingyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she excitedly exclaimed, "I found it!"

Shen Lang immediately jumped up: "Really! Where is it!"

"Our temple keeper had a bad feeling, so he didn't dare to look. Chen Yu, could you take a look?"

"Me?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled. "Why can I see it?"

"Because you can only see text and mosaics now, the influence of Shen Yun will be very small. And since your faith is firm, there won't be any problems."

Chen Yu accepted the pictures sent by the other party with some skepticism. After seeing the pictures, he felt that he had been deceived by Meng Lingyi again.

Who says text doesn't have the uncanny valley effect?
