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

Chapter 412 Senior Year, Here I Come (56)

The Star Lord is clear about his grudges and favors because they involve a great deal of cause and effect. Even after tens of thousands of years, he will still leave corresponding marks in his body.

As the incarnation of the Star Lord, Lian Qu also inherited this characteristic, and was equally clear about her grudges and affections.

Chen Yu saved his true form, a debt of gratitude akin to that of a second parent. His original body allowing him to continue working at Morning Light was also a way of repaying that debt.

If I can't repay this debt in this lifetime, then I'll need to find Chen Yu's next life and continue to repay his kindness.

At the same time, the original body knew that the avatar was shy and was prepared to help her conceal her identity, but she didn't expect to be exposed as soon as she opened her mouth.

But a debt of gratitude is a debt of gratitude, and even knowing that the road ahead is filled with endless eroticism, she still wants to repay this debt of gratitude.

Sitting in the guardhouse next to the morgue, Chen Yu helped Lian Qu sit up higher, then asked with great interest, "Lian Qu, where did you learn your skill in drawing erotic pictures?"

"Just kill me."

"Don't suddenly contemplate suicide. If drawing erotic pictures makes you this embarrassed, then you don't need to force yourself."

After all, for Chen Yu, passion is the best driving force.

If you don't like it, it's easy to get bogged down in internal conflicts, and you might even pass on this negative feeling to other employees, which would be detrimental to your future endeavors.

So although it's a pity, if Lian Qu really doesn't like erotic pictures, then she has no choice but to give up.

Erotic images are merely a bonus element in a dream, not the whole picture. Sacrificing other elements for the sake of a single bonus often results in a distorted dream, which is detrimental to its subsequent development.

Seeing how understanding Chen Yu was, Lian Qu was so moved that she almost cried.

However, she immediately realized another problem.

How can I repay this kindness if I don't draw erotic pictures?

Aside from her talent for drawing erotic pictures, Lian Qu couldn't think of any reason for joining Chenguang Co., Ltd., nor did she know how she could repay Chen Yu's kindness.

Lian Qu immediately wiped away her tears and said seriously, "Don't worry, I love drawing erotic pictures the most."

A golden light flashed in Chen Yu's eyes, and he asked again, "Really? I don't believe it."

"It has to be true. To be honest, I had some psychological burden at first, but seeing so many people like my erotic pictures, the promotional effect is hundreds or thousands of times better than the previous preaching. I've come to like this feeling of being praised and noticed. So, Mr. Chen, don't have any psychological burden, just let me do as I please."

Nodding with relief, Chen Yu said, "Then I'm relieved. Here's the contract; if there are no problems, just sign it."

Seeing Chen Yu hand over a contract for 4,500 mana per month, Lian Qu asked in confusion, "Wasn't it 3,500 before?"

"The Star Lord incarnation will get an extra thousand, but don't worry about your salary being higher than others, they get a share. You also got a share from 'Journey to the Abyss,' so I'll count it as mana for you."

The current sales of "Journey to the Abyss" are 1.23 million copies, and the growth rate is not expected to be significant.

The effects of regional and trade locks still exist, and the larger dream worlds have a stronger influence, thus facing greater restrictions in this area.

One million copies of the promotion were distributed by Dream Star Lord after winning first place. After that, there will be a cool-down period for the promotion, and another wave will come next month.

The 230,000 units represent the total sales in Tianyuan and the surrounding urban area, and this figure will gradually increase thereafter.

The price of each item is 398. After deducting the cost of the large dream and taxes, the final profit is 3700 million.

For a large-scale dream, this achievement is considered average. However, considering its promotional effect and the various benefits it brings, the impact of this dream is worth at least tens of billions.

Moreover, as time goes on, the influence of "Journey to the Abyss" will continue to grow, eventually becoming Tianyuan's signature dream.

However, since those intangible assets couldn't be calculated, Chen Yu could only calculate them based on profits, ultimately determining Lian Qu's contribution to be one percent.

After transferring 37,000 units of magic power along with his salary for the month, Chen Yu said to Lian Qu, whose eyes were wide with surprise, "Your performance this time was excellent. I'll leave the rest of the dreams to you!" "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I definitely won't let you down!"

"Okay, continue to recuperate. I need to have dinner with Wang Chuyun, then discuss the contract with Zhong Zheng, and then prepare for the start of the school year. After 'Journey to the Abyss,' we'll continue to release expansion packs, and all the company's previous dream sequences can be added in. I'll need your help then."

"Leave it to me, Mr. Chen."

"Well, I'm leaving."

"Take care, Mr. Chen."

Looking at the extra 41,000 mana in his account, Lian Qu felt incredibly happy.

A fondness for magic is a characteristic of the Star Lords, and Lian Qu, who is an incarnation of the Star Lord, is no exception.

With a delighted expression, she repeatedly drew magic power from her magic account, gazing at these intangible things with a silly grin.

It wasn't until the third time she did this that she realized Meng Lingyi had never left.

The other person floated in mid-air, with a pie chart also pasted on their face, expressing disdain, astonishment, sympathy, and helplessness.

Looking at Meng Lingyi like this, Lian Qu smiled awkwardly and whispered, "...Meng Lingyi, you didn't leave?"

"No. I wanted to explain to you that I didn't reveal your information to Chen Yu, but it seems unnecessary now."

"Wait, let me explain!"

"No need. Anyway, it's just that 'the Star Lord likes magic, and I like magic more than my pride.' Whatever makes you happy."

"not me……"

"Just keep drawing erotic pictures, you like them anyway, don't you?"

"Ahhh!"

Amidst the continuous mournful cries, Meng Lingyi left to expand the server.

Looking at the dark night sky, Meng Lingyi really wanted to leave this place right now and go back to be her temple keeper.

Tianyuan is a poisonous place.

It seems like something's off no matter who comes.

Chen Yu had dinner with Wang Chuyun, and then drove his Yulin 7 to work with her for half a day, digging an artificial lake by hand next to the hospital. They didn't leave until the next day.

Afterwards, the contracts in the pocket were handed to Zhong Zheng. Zhong Zheng was overjoyed to see the large number of contracts and said that if he gave these supplies to him, he would make good use of them.

On the last half-day, Chen Yu returned to his dormitory, prepared all the things he needed for the start of school the next day, then climbed out of the window with his things, rented a room at a guesthouse off campus, and went to have a good rest.

That night, his dormitory was blown up completely, and all sorts of little devils were causing a ruckus in his dormitory, but none of this had anything to do with Chen Yu.

He simply had a good, restful sleep, which completely washed away his previous fatigue.

After getting up, he stood by the window, looking at the dormitory still burning in the distance, and sighed that it was truly a beautiful morning.

Senior year of high school, here I come!

　Volume One is now finished; the next part will be the senior year chapter. I need to plan out the rest of the content tonight, so the next update will be a little late.

　　I currently owe two chapters this month, plus eleven chapters from Brother Qiu and five chapters from before. I'll catch up on those as soon as possible. That's all for now.
