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

Chapter 509 is about this module (66)

Luo Tong looked at the dream Chen Yu had chosen with a puzzled expression, a sense of impending crisis creeping in.

Mr. Chen's hobby is similar to that of glasses. Does this mean that glasses are starting to align with Mr. Chen's ideas?
Am I no longer the one who understands Mr. Chen the most?
With this strong sense of crisis, Luo Tong installed the module and then started running it.

Sinking into the dream, Luo Tong discovered that this was a very restricted module.

This module has its own spatial and temporal mechanisms. Players need to live in a moderately sized city and spend their eighty-year life there.

The building models in the module are universal, and most areas of the city are copied, so they don't look very detailed at first glance.

Moreover, the interface design of this module is terrible. The entire module was completed in a very rushed manner, and there are many signs of being rushed.

Based on this point alone, this module is undoubtedly substandard.

Judging from Mr. Chen's and the glasses' reactions, if this module doesn't perform well here, it must perform exceptionally well elsewhere.

Patiently beginning the dream, Luo Tong discovers that he was born on the outskirts of the city.

Both of his parents were cultivators. Although he didn't get into university or reach the Foundation Establishment stage, a cultivator is still a cultivator.

The couple's combined monthly income is 5,000 yuan, which is enough to live comfortably with enough to eat and drink.

Looking at his father who had lifted him up high, Luo Tong felt that this dream wasn't so eerie after all.

But when he turned seven, he found that everything had changed.

He has no spiritual root.

Families where both parents are cultivators have a high probability of having a child with spiritual roots, but he clearly is not.

From that moment on, the atmosphere in the family changed instantly.

The mod's performance here is quite rough; it simply changes the ray tracing in the home environment to make the atmosphere a bit more gloomy, but it feels like a completely different place.

The once kind and amiable father now looked worried, and the mother seemed to have become quiet as well. Caught in the middle, Luo Tong could feel the oppressive atmosphere and didn't even dare to move around in the house.

The next day, the parents suddenly left without saying goodbye, leaving behind an empty house and a cold 20,000 yuan.

They went off to pursue their own happiness.

I am not part of their happiness.

The title of the module appeared at this moment, and the words "Ordinary People's Road" came crashing down heavily, making Luo Tong realize that even a title could be so suffocating.

Luo Tong initially thought this module would only make people depressed, but he soon discovered that this dream took the concept of "underworld" to its extreme.

The seven-year-old child lost his parents and had only a barely habitable house and 20,000 yuan.

Moreover, the house wasn't even his own.

This module lasts for twenty minutes a year. Every day, you have to plan your actions within these twenty minutes and not waste a single moment.

You have to cook your own meals. The food outside is just processed food, which is not even as good as pre-cooked food. It can poison children.

Homework must be completed independently; insufficient time will interfere with sleep and negatively impact development.

Twenty thousand yuan may seem like a lot, but once tuition and rent are paid, there's not much left. I'll have to figure out how to make ends meet from now on.

Fortunately, there are jobs here such as digging and cutting down trees, but these jobs are not so easy to complete.

Player characters have their own attributes. If the strength attribute is too low, you can't chop down trees; if the stamina attribute is too low, you can't dig; if the intelligence attribute is too low, you will fail the exam and drop out of school. All of these must be cultivated little by little.

What made Luo Tong even more desperate was yet to come. Random thugs would rob him of his cash, and if he tried to escape but couldn't, he would be brutally beaten, his stamina would decrease, and he would be injured.

The development of his attributes is incredibly slow, and even after it's developed, it turns out that many jobs don't need a mortal like him at all.

A cultivator can easily have hundreds of attribute points; the opponent's starting point is his ending point, and he can never catch up.

Various prosthetic bodies can be bought in stores, but the prices, often in the hundreds of thousands or millions, are simply unaffordable for him, so he can only sigh as he looks at the products in the shop window.

When you're really starving, you can pick wild fruit, but if you're caught, you'll be fined and beaten.

Having barely lived to be eighteen, Luo Tong discovered that he had no money and couldn't even afford a decent birthday celebration.

He could no longer walk the rest of the way.

He left the dream in despair, holding his head and remaining silent.

I thought I had suffered quite a bit before, but compared to that, I'm actually doing pretty well.

If you previously lived a life like an ox or a horse, then ordinary people might live even worse than oxen or horses.

They weren't discriminated against; they were simply ignored. They were given simple jobs if they could do them, and driven away if they couldn't, much like livestock on a ranch.

Prosthetic bodies and artificial spiritual roots are their lifelong dream, but at most they can only support them to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining, and there are many side effects.

The related side effects are listed on thirteen pages long, yet even so, artificial spiritual roots remain one of the best-selling prosthetic bodies, demonstrating just how desirable cultivation is.

Touching his lower abdomen, Luo Tong could feel his spiritual root, from which the magical power system extended, transporting magical power to various parts of his body, giving him power different from that of ordinary people.

He used to think this was something he should take for granted.

However, after playing "The Road of Mortals", he suddenly realized that the things he took for granted were actually quite fortunate.

Compared to themselves, Glasses has a wealth of work experience, and President Chen was once just an ordinary person. The two of them saw the excellence of this module because of this, which is something that Luo Tong does not possess.

With a long sigh, Luo Tong said, his eyes reddening, "President Chen, I understand!"

"Don't try to understand!" Chen Yu said immediately. "Even if you do understand, don't say it out loud, thank you."

"But I really understand!"

"Thank you so much! Please don't say anything more!"

After calming Luo Tong down, Chen Yu felt he didn't need to make a choice anymore.

The "Ordinary People's Road" module tells its own story, but it doesn't overuse the story.

The author combined the mechanics of "My Dream" with his own story, giving his story a strong "My Dream" feel.

Moreover, the author maintains a subtle sense of detachment throughout the storytelling process.

This sense of alienation fits the atmosphere of "My Dreams" perfectly, and it also includes a lot of "My Dreams" related guidance, making this module very challenging, while also serving as a great beginner's guide.

Moreover, the other party did not overuse tragedy; everything had a calm and believable quality that made it seem exceptionally real.

Chen Yu didn't know what the author of this mod had gone through, but he felt that this mod was really excellent.

After reviewing the other selected modules, Chen Yu confirmed that this was the one.

　I'll finish yesterday's work first, then continue.
