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

Chapter 39 Flourishing (13)

"Mr. Chen, our dream app is a hit! It's already had almost two thousand downloads and countless positive reviews!"

"Oh, well done. Keep it up. If the results are good, I'll give you a bonus."

When Glasses excitedly told Chen Yu the news, Chen Yu's reaction was very calm.

After ending the call, Glasses was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly realized: "As expected of President Chen, he has the demeanor of a great leader at such a young age. He remained so calm even after hearing about such high download numbers and positive reviews."

"No...maybe...they...don't care..."

"So-so," the tall man nodded, speaking indifferently.

"That's right, for President Chen, this kind of result is too ordinary! This is the realm of the strong."

Contrary to Glasses' guess, Chen Yu had actually foreseen this outcome long ago.

Having just finished his tutoring session with Teacher Zhao, he saw his accumulated negative and positive emotions surge together, reaching 25,000.

Comparing his total positive mana of 20,000, Chen Yu stood tall and proud, feeling that he was capable again.

With a little calculation, he realized that he was now accumulating 25,000 negative emotions a day.

Although the positive emotions were boosted by the previous two dreams, the total was only 12,000 including "Quiz Showdown".

Moreover, it can be used as a reward, turning dreams into legitimate income – it couldn't be more wonderful.

Afterwards, this emotion will slowly decrease, but it is expected to reach its limit in about five days, allowing you to gain a large amount of mana that you can freely control.

Although I'm not financially free yet, 200,000 mana is more than enough to get me into the archaeology program I want.

He returned to his dormitory feeling quite pleased with himself, only to find a burly man standing on the floor, occasionally letting out strange laughter.

"Ma Daqiang, what are you doing?"

Ma Daqiang, still half asleep, scratched his arm and chuckled lewdly, "Hehe, you guys, don't run away, keep insulting me!"

Chen Yu took a half step back, feeling that this dormitory was no longer safe.

It must be burned!

After bypassing the other person, Chen Yu saw that his homework on his desk had been opened, and knew that the other person had probably come to copy his homework again. But when he found that he was not there and had not finished his homework for the day, he lay down on the floor and started to dream.

He's a genius, even in his dreams he goes crazy.

Just as he was about to lie down on the bed for a while, he noticed that the class monitor, who looked like a hamster, was lying there with his teeth clenched so tightly that sparks were about to fly out.

What are these two up to?

Since he couldn't lie down, he could only review his lessons at his desk and finish all his homework.

When Chen Yu realized that neither of them had gotten up by 4 a.m., he finally lost his patience and kicked them both.

Startled awake, Liu Qing rubbed her eyes and got up. She then got out of bed and kicked Ma Daqiang before sitting down on the edge of the bed and saying, "Chen Yu, you're finally back."

"Don't make it sound like you've been waiting for me all this time."

"I've been waiting for you."

She yawned again, looked at Chen Yu, beckoned him over with her finger, and then whispered mysteriously in his ear, "Chen Yu, I have something to tell you, but don't be surprised."

"Don't worry, I'm a high school student, so I won't be surprised easily."

"I've discovered a way to make money."

After getting up and examining the hamster, Chen Yu nodded: "I feel this is definitely a legitimate approach."

"...I'll pop your eyeballs out sooner or later! Seriously though, do you know what a dream about answering questions is?"

"Not only do I know, I understand it very well." Class monitor Liu Qing glanced at Chen Yu with disdain, then held up a finger and shook it, saying, "I think you don't understand at all. You can get something for nothing in the dream world when you answer questions, you know that?"

"I really don't know about this."

"Tianyuan's Quiz Dreamland initially lures you in to answer questions, promising cashback for winning. However, after a few withdrawals, they'll say the limit isn't enough and ask you to top up before withdrawing again."

"Well, then what?"

"If you recharge again, they will say that in order to comply with Tianyuan's laws, our Dreamland has stopped accepting withdrawals. However, you can use your recharge to purchase value-added services in the Dreamland, such as skins. If you call their customer service again, you won't be able to get through."

"This is a classic scam."

“That’s right, I knew you knew. This kind of method usually happens at the very beginning of the quiz dream, so we can extract a dozen or so magical powers from it and then retreat. This is considered acting on behalf of Heaven, and it won’t be considered morally wrong. I just happened to discover a new quiz dream today, so I came to find you right away.”

"...Do you want me to answer the questions for you?"

"No, it's good stuff that everyone should share."

After rummaging through her pockets for a while, Liu Qing excitedly showed Chen Yu the dream she had just downloaded, which was none other than "Quiz Showdown" that Chen Yu had just released.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yu asked, "Liu Qing..."

"When we're working, we use our job titles! But right now, I'm not Liu Qing, I'm the team leader leading everyone to fleece the capitalists!"

After getting the righteous-looking class monitor off his bed, Chen Yu continued, "Is it possible—just one possibility—that this dream was created by our company?"

"what?"

Pointing to the creator of the dream, Chen Yu said, "Look here."

"Tianyuan Chenguang Co., Ltd.... Oh, really."

Upon seeing the name, Liu Qing suddenly realized what was going on, and then whispered, "In that case, when are you planning to run away? Or do you have any channels to help me cash out? I've been having trouble with my mana lately, probably because I need to improve my cultivation level. It's really hard for body cultivators to condense mana."

“…Class monitor, I feel your moral score could be lowered even further.”

"Keep your voice down, don't let the Day Wanderer hear you."

The higher one's cultivation level, the more magical power is required to maintain that level each day.

Body cultivation requires burning mana to practice techniques, and the mana required is more than other schools. It is difficult to continue cultivating without some spare money.

However, physical education offers a wide range of job opportunities. Even high school graduates can become security guards, or, if all else fails, deliver food faster than a bicycle.

Seeing the class monitor's enthusiasm and eagerness to take advantage of him, Chen Yu decided to recruit Liu Qing and Ma Daqiang after his company expanded.

Putting everything else aside, just because these two have taken care of me for so long, I have to help them with this!

However, he had to dissuade Liu Qing from her idea: "Class monitor, our company's dream is a legitimate dream."

"Come on! They'd take anyone with your morals, how could you possibly be serious?"

"It's twenty-seven," Chen Yu immediately corrected. "And whether it's proper or not, you can try it out and see."

Liu Qing thought about it and felt that Chen Yu was right.

So she wrapped herself in Chen Yu's blanket and quickly drifted off to sleep.

A few minutes later, Liu Qing began to cry and laugh at the same time, sometimes baring her teeth and sometimes waving her arms and legs.

Looking at the obviously deranged Liu Qing, and then at his own escalating negative emotions, Chen Yu sighed that life was getting better and better.

The growing negative emotions gave him the motivation to move forward, prompting him to turn on his phone and continue adjusting his dream.
