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

Chapter 432 The President's Situation (66)

After reminiscing about the mortal alchemist from before, Xi Tianluo put down the dice and started chatting with Chen Yu.

A few minutes later, Chen Yu discovered that Xi Tianluo was actually a very ordinary, yet remarkable person.

"I was just an ordinary newspaper reporter before, and I still am now. Now I just write travelogues, and occasionally I write 'Zhao Ziri's Thousand Little Secrets' to add some fun to Tianyuan Daily."

Interrupting the other person's reminiscence, Chen Yu asked seriously, "So it was you who wrote it. Are those things all true? For example, Teacher Zhao once kicked a Star Lord to death, and it was later discovered that the other person had been scared to death."

"It's a mix of truth and falsehood," Xi Tianluo said sheepishly.

"So, some of it is actually true?"

"Actually, I'm not sure either, but that's what everyone says, so I wrote it that way too. By the way, don't let Teacher Zhao know I'm back, he'll definitely kill me."

"I have a feeling he already knows."

"Then I'd better hurry. Before Ant Dali, I was an entertainment reporter, following a few Tianyuan stars around to make a living. Before the Ant Dali incident, I thought it was just a small dispute, but I didn't expect the other party to get angry first."

"What's wrong?" Li Xiaotao, the economic assistant, asked curiously.

"They said it was impossible, absolutely impossible, that our Ant Power was definitely fine! Then they invited me to visit their lab, and I saw that it was full of mental patients."

Hearing this, Chen Yu was speechless for a moment, and then asked, "No, how could they do this?"

"Because the Tianyuan Cultivator Management Committee at the time had a rule that it was not illegal to use mentally ill people for human experiments. Their idea was to avoid risks through the law."

Hearing this, Chen Yu was even more speechless.

This feeling is like Xi Tianluo asking someone for a question, and the other person, without saying a word, stabs him three times first, and then asks him if he's scared while holding the knife.
I've seen people self-destruct before, but I've never seen one so brainless!

Xi Tianluo knew this sounded a bit far-fetched, but that's exactly what happened.

With a wry smile, Xi Tianluo said, "Anyway, that's how it is. Later, I realized that we shouldn't blindly worship someone just because they're rich. They're not stupid either; they can make mistakes. Using economic status to glorify someone's words and actions is definitely problematic."

"That's so true! I've suffered a lot of misunderstandings because I'm too rich, and it's been a real problem."

Seeing Chen Yu's indignant expression, Xi Tianlu couldn't help but say, "But you're really amazing."

"...President Xi, you can't be so hypocritical. And then what?"

"And then, I don't care about this or that! We Tianyuan people don't respect those garbage rules!"

"Well said! And then what?"

"Then I exploded against them! After that came the chase, the curses, and all sorts of other things. At the worst point, more than half of my physical body was destroyed, but I didn't dare to die because they had money to hire people to ambush me on this cycle of reincarnation. In order to escape, I even used a strange artifact to illegally establish my foundation, and then I was infected by the artifact, and everything below my head was cut off."

"Isn't that ghost cultivation?"

"No, I'm still a person. I can't stay in one place for too long now, or this will happen."

Xi Tianlu raised his hand and showed it to Chen Yu.

The other person's hand was also constructed with prosthetics, but upon closer inspection, one could see millions of mechanical worms active on the other person's arm.

Where he touched, a metallic handprint remained on the original wooden table. The special Daoist energy released by the mechanical worm had metallicized the table, and it was estimated that it would soon be completely turned into metal. Slowly lowering his sleeve, Xi Tianluo took out specially made gloves and put them on. He smiled at Chen Yu and said, "It's almost time. I've been very happy to play with everyone, but I have to go."

Before leaving, Xi Tianluo looked at Chen Yu and said earnestly, "Chen Yu, I am not a good president, and I know I lack a lot. But I am glad that Tianyuan has people like you."

He instinctively wanted to pat Chen Yu's head, but seeing the mechanical worm that had begun to come alive, he could only give up helplessly.

Before leaving, he looked at Chen Yu earnestly and said, "Go ahead and do whatever you want. I may not understand what you want to do, but I will definitely support your decision."

Waving to the crowd, Xi Tianluo pushed open the door, then suddenly remembered something and turned to Chen Yu, saying, "I really like the interest-free loan you arranged, but it has offended quite a few people because of it. I heard that some people seem to be targeting you, so I suggest you stop for a while."

"It doesn't matter, why should I avoid their sharp edge?" Chen Yu said nonchalantly.

Looking at Chen Yu, Xi Tianluo seemed to see the shadow of Zhao Ziri in a daze, but at the same time felt that the two were completely different.

With a smile and a nod, Xi Tianlu put on his hat and trench coat, then walked out of the small restaurant alone, heading towards the next city area.

The door to the small restaurant wasn't opened until long after the other person had left.

Zhao Ziri, who was as big as a double-door refrigerator, rushed in. After seeing the metal handprint on the table, he clapped his hands and said with dissatisfaction, "Damn it, that kid got away again."

Chen Yu looked at Zhao Ziri speechlessly: "Teacher Zhao..."

"what!"

"……fine."

With Teacher Zhao's abilities, catching Xi Tianluo wouldn't be difficult.

However, once caught, it's not a good idea to beat them or not, so it's better to just pretend it was a missed opportunity.

All I can say is that Teacher Zhao can be quite arrogant at times.

Teacher Zhao then sat down in Xi Tianluo's seat, picked up the other person's dice, and took over the role.

After assessing the situation, Zhao Ziri said unhappily, "What is that kid playing at? There's only one factory, the land is all rotten, no roadblocks, no remote-controlled dice, just a run-down school that's only at level one. This mess is so bad, we might as well just fold... Wait, what's this?!"

Seeing what Zhao Ziri had stepped on in the Destiny Chart, Chen Yu exclaimed, "Teacher Zhao, you're quite lucky!"

Staring at the colorful auspicious light in front of him and the figure within it, Teacher Zhao asked in bewilderment, "What is this? I've never seen this before."

"The chosen one, the hidden star lord, is the hidden Easter egg here, with an appearance probability of about one in a million. Within thirty rounds, you can buy land for free, tolls are free, building houses is buy one get one free, and you are immune to all kinds of negative card effects."

After praising him twice, Chen Yu remarked that Teacher Zhao was really lucky to have managed to find such a role in such a terrible situation.

Smiling and shaking his head, Chen Yu ordered a plate of lamb chops and then continued reviewing his lessons.

I'm a senior in high school now.

We must race against time.
