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

Chapter 507 You can't be a genius, can you? (46)

Chen Yu was in class when he received the lawyer's letter from Teacher Zhao.

Awakening from his dream of Zhuge Xingjun with a sense of bewilderment, he took the envelope in a daze and discovered that it was a green legal document.

"I'm being sued? Is it Ma Chunhua?" Chen Yu said with a yawn. "Looks like I didn't beat her hard enough. Next time I should make her lose her memory. Oh, and next time I should implant a brain aneurysm in her. That thing is like a time bomb; it'll explode with a bang."

"Although I'm not sure how to put it, I still feel there's something wrong with your moral character," Teacher Zhao said with difficulty. "Let's open it and see what's inside; maybe they're here to ask for money for medicine."

“If she dares to ask, I dare to give. I’ll even give her ten times the amount, with nine times being compensation later.”

"I really feel that there is a problem with your moral development."

Chen Yu casually scratched open the envelope with his fingernail and discovered that it was a letter from the Legal Department of the Disaster Response Division.

"Strange, isn't this a private lawsuit letter? And it was Teacher Zhao who beat me up, so why are they suing me?"

After reading it carefully, Chen Yu was a little confused.

Noticing Chen Yu's confusion, Teacher Zhao took the letter and read it, then said with equal bewilderment, "He's suing you for copyright infringement? His reason is that 'My Dream' shamelessly plagiarized the dream database of the Disaster Response Department? How dare they!"

Chen Yu still had access to the information retrieval department, so he directly entered their dream database and began searching for the so-called plagiarized dream.

The total number of dreams stored within the Disaster Response Department can reach as many as one million. Only a small portion of these dreams can be purchased; the rest are either "voluntarily donated" or requisitioned.

Many dream developers have gone bankrupt, likely because their dream sites were requisitioned and they had no money. They would have to pay compensation if problems arose, and then the developers would have to maintain them free of charge. It would be strange if they didn't go bankrupt under these circumstances.

Despite being a semi-official organization, it dares to exploit information asymmetry to amass wealth. I wonder how many more organizations like this exist.

Everyone is at fault for allowing these monsters and demons to escape.

After searching through millions of dreams for a long time, Chen Yu finally found the "plagiarized" dream, "The Lonely Forest Ranger," in a hidden corner.

As Chen Yu drifted into the dream with a sense of bewilderment, he discovered that the gameplay of this dream was particularly monotonous: simply wandering around in the woods, checking to see if any problems might arise.

Its gameplay is simplistic, its content is outdated, and its style is classical; it's an old dream game with a history of nearly thirty years.

The reason given by the Disaster Response Department for plagiarism was that "My Dream" borrowed the terrain generation algorithm from "The Lonely Forest Ranger," and requested Chenguang Company to provide the algorithm for the Disaster Response Department to verify.

Furthermore, in order to prevent the Changsheng Prefecture Supervisory Commission from protecting Chenguang Company, they specifically chose Tianmu City, the easternmost part of Changsheng Prefecture, to apply for off-site review.

Therefore, Chen Yu either has to make the algorithm public or go to Tianmu City to respond to the lawsuit.

After learning about the current situation, Chen Yu clicked his tongue in amazement.

Although I knew the Calamity Response Department was despicable, I never imagined they could be this despicable.

Those guys seem completely unconcerned about the consequences of the disaster; all they care about is money.

"Those guys will do anything for money. But what good will it do them to sue me?"

“I don’t understand the law, we need to find someone who does.”

Chen Yu and Teacher Zhao thought about it for a long time, and then realized that they didn't seem to understand the law very well.

Chen Yu had tried to learn about the law before, but found it to be too complicated.

The laws of the Great Qian world are divided into several layers, and each layer contains hundreds of millions of characters that need to be studied.

At the very top is the Heavenly Dao, which is also the most fundamental law of the world. However, all related content is controlled by top-level cultivators, and not a single piece of it has been leaked.

There are many theories about why this is the case, but most cultivators believe it's because the Heavenly Laws are extremely powerful, with each one pointing directly to the Great Dao and therefore not to be revealed casually. Secondly, it's a law jointly constructed by the three Star Lords of the past, present, and future. The underlying logic of time, space, and the world is all established by these three Star Lords.

However, the future star lord has fallen, and the past and present star lords were severely injured and have now disappeared without a trace.

Next comes the consensus reached by the many star deities. Then come the laws enacted by each state, and finally the laws governing the city.

Besides these, the Star Lord's temple also has its own laws.

These issues are intricately intertwined, with each element overlapping the others. Some laws are valid here but not elsewhere; in some places, murder is a serious crime, but in others, a mere fine might suffice.

It's really too difficult to sort out all this confusing information.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Yu finally remembered that he had a good friend who attended Moral High School.

The ultimate goal of students in moral high schools is to enter the judicial system. Their moral standards may not be high, but they must have a thorough understanding of the relevant laws.

Moreover, their parents are usually legal professionals, so finding a place to ask for help shouldn't be a problem.

He immediately contacted Dao Lingyun, who remained silent for a long time after seeing Chen Yu's message before finally replying: "Senior brother, how long has it been since you last contacted me?"

Chen Yu: [It hasn't been that long, has it?]

Dao Lingyun: [It's been about a few years.]

Chen Yu: [Is it really that exaggerated?]

Dao Lingyun: [Time flows very slowly during calamities. The thought of me studying diligently here while my senior brother is out there with someone else fills me with sorrow. I wish I could bury one of you in the upper realm and the other in the lower realm.]

Upon seeing the other party's reply, Chen Yu felt that Dao Lingyun was acting strangely.

Could she possibly like Wang Chuyun?
Temporarily setting aside this topic, Chen Yu told the other party about being sued, and then replied: "That's the situation. We need legal support now. Could you please help me find a few trustworthy people?"

Dao Lingyun: [Sure, I can do it.]

Chen Yu: [Hmm? Aren't you a senior in high school? Focus on your exams.]

Dao Lingyun: [It's alright, I've already been recommended.]

The words "guaranteed admission" carried a powerful aura, making Chen Yu realize that Dao Lingyun was extraordinary.

Chen Yu: [But what about the lawyer's license?]

Dao Lingyun: [I passed the exam in my second year of high school, and it's valid throughout the Great Qian Dynasty.]

Chen Yu: [Hiss...]

The difficulty of obtaining a lawyer's license is extremely high, and it is absolutely impossible without the help of one's parents.

Although this certificate is nominally open to anyone, the registration process alone is enough to drive many people crazy.

There are also a lot of cram school scammers and all sorts of favoritism and cheating. It's difficult to even get into a Changsheng Prefecture, let alone the Great Qian World.

After a long pause, Chen Yu finally asked, "Dao Lingyun, you're not a genius, are you?"

Dao Lingyun: [Senior brother, you're only just finding out?]

　Happy National Day!
