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

Chapter 405 Reunion with Elder Hei (46)

Although Chen Yu was certain that the situation was quite explosive, he didn't expect it to be this explosive.

After the Bone King Black was defeated, the [Mirror] instance was closed, but the players' celebrations did not stop.

In the "Garden of Dawn," memes of the Bone King were everywhere. The abstract talent displayed by the usually serious and earnest cultivators was astonishing, opening Chen Yu's eyes to a whole new world.

Just like with SeSe, do you guys also have to find your own favorite memes to be abstract?

They replicated the image of the Bone King, made a model of it, and used it as a basis to create various Bone King memes.

After all, the Bone King's performance was just like a roadside character. At first, he sat in the middle with a certain air of superiority, but then he started sweating, showing shock, and exhibiting countless clownish behaviors.

The final defense breach animation was incredibly funny; despite being the final boss of an event, he insisted that a non-player character was the worst. This abstract and clownish behavior made the Bone King the clownishest dream character of the year.

At first, Chen Yu found it quite enjoyable.

The various defense breaching images are quite interesting, but somehow they gradually became associated with erotic images.

Players started dressing up the Bone King with costumes, choreographing his actions, and even having him create random events against himself.

After seeing various photos of women in drag, animals, and the supernatural, Chen Yu decided to add this type of content to his blacklist and not want to look at it for a while.

If I were the Bone King, I probably wouldn't have the courage to go online in my entire life.

Looking at the comments sections of other dreams, Chen Yu noticed that they were relatively normal, but his own dreams seemed to become more abstract.

All I can say is that the level of madness in this world still has room to decrease, and it's definitely not because I came here.

Besides parodies of the Bone King, various celebrations are also a hot topic here.

Many people are celebrating the victory over the Bone King, while some players are mourning the five fallen agents in their dreams and starting to search for clues about them in other dungeons.

Many people are looking forward to the rewards of this event and are speculating about what they will be.

After considering the players' opinions, Chen Yu felt it would be good to send a few sets of limited-edition outfits. He would then go back to the hospital to check on the new employee, pay her medical expenses in advance, and ask her to pay him back after she was discharged.

Besides this issue, Chen Yu was most concerned about how to play the dream world.

In Miao Qingyu's live stream, Chen Yu reviewed the recorded footage of the normal activities and discovered that the players had demonstrated an astonishing level of organization and teamwork in their quest for revenge against the Bone King.

Despite being a dream that encourages confrontation, they somehow managed to cooperate and accomplish an extremely difficult goal together, even though they couldn't communicate.

Even after the event ended, some players still haven't recovered.

These players seem to have developed a strong interest in this act of contribution and have formed a "rat alliance" in the backyard.

Those who join the alliance will choose the Factory Owner as their character class and wear a rat-shaped hat to identify themselves. This hat has no use in "Journey to the Abyss"; it's just a decoration.

After that, they wouldn't touch the core resources, but instead would enjoy picking up trash in the dream world. Once they found it, they would put it in a box and then ask someone else to take it away.

Some speculate that this is a ritual performed by a certain star deity, a behavior that pleases that star deity and bestows blessings upon the rats.

Some people say this is a way of atonement, and any player with low morals in real life can accumulate good deeds and improve their moral score through this behavior.

Regardless of the truth, the mouse becomes part of the dream, allowing players to check the treasure chest at the door after going bankrupt, where they might find a gift left by the mouse.

In addition, players have spontaneously built a trading platform, and many streamers broadcast transactions live.

Although they cannot speak, players have managed to develop a complete communication process: First, they enter the streamer's live stream room, leave their trading request, and then the streamer or other high-value viewers will step in as witnesses.

Afterwards, both parties agreed on the instance and the transaction location, and then entered the instance in the presence of witnesses, placing the items to be traded about fifty meters to either side of the witnesses.

Subsequently, both parties took screenshots in the live stream to confirm the items and then walked towards the other side.

Finally, after both parties confirm that there are no problems, they can hand over some small-value items to the witness as a brokerage fee and then leave the instance.

The whole process is a bit troublesome, but it is the safest way for players to trade, and the whole process is full of ritual, giving people a feeling of being in a sacrifice, which is quite novel.

Seeing these interesting trading behaviors, Chen Yu thought for a while and decided not to impose any restrictions.

Although this might reduce some of the negative emotions in the dreams, Chen Yu, as an operator who hopes that the dreams can be sustainable and fully utilized, feels that this can also appropriately alleviate the tension and thus enhance the stickiness of the dreams.

After organizing all this information, Chen Yu breathed a satisfied sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair to rest.

A feeling of weightlessness washed over them as the sky elevator began to descend rapidly, preparing to return to the mortal realm.

As he entered the void, the ban on the upper realm was lifted, and the magnificent but expensive upper realm reappeared, which made Chen Yu feel a little regretful.

The next time I come here, it will probably be before the college entrance exam.

Hopefully, by then, we will be able to see what the true upper realm is like.

Chen Yu closed his eyes, about to rest for a while, when suddenly he heard a sinister voice in his ear:

"Chen Yu, you've ruined my plans again!"

Turning his head, Chen Yu discovered that Meng Lingyi, who was next to him, had disappeared.

Not only "him" but all the passengers in the Sky Elevator disappeared, leaving only the Sky Elevator falling endlessly into the abyss.

Through the elevator window, Chen Yu discovered that there were no stars outside, only a desolate void. The only thing present was the Skeleton King, perched by the window, its enormous eyes fixed intently on Chen Yu.

“…Who are you?”

"Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Black!" the Bone King Black roared fiercely, "You didn't expect that, did you? I can still pull you into a dream! Now that the barrier of the dream is gone, let's see how you leave!"

Looking at this thing, Chen Yu assessed their respective strengths and felt that it wasn't impossible to fight.

This is clearly a dream created by the Black Demon, and such things are extremely familiar to those with the Heavenly Demon Body, so they are not afraid of them at all.

Moreover, the opponent looks terrifying, but since the opponent has no physical body and the dream world only sees the primordial spirit, my chances of winning are not low.

Besides, it's just a fight, I'll avoid your sharp edge!

With a light snort, Chen Yu rolled up his sleeves: "If you want to fight, then let's fight! But how did you manage to drag me here?"

"Hmph, the power of the Heavenly Demon is indeed so unpredictable! I'll give you a chance now: join our Heavenly Demon Sect and obediently become their dog, then I might give you another chance, otherwise..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yu and Hei saw a cloud of black mist fly out of the Bone King's body and then rush into their chests.

"Eh?"

"Eh?"
