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

Chapter 520 You Still Say You Aren't (46)

Calamity is a product of a fallen star lord being activated for unknown reasons.

They are a combination of the Star Lord's backward thoughts and base desires, representing the negative aspects of the world and natural disasters in every region.

Even if they turn into calamities, they will still adhere to the city's layout and will not leave the city.

This also demonstrates the necessity of such a complex setup in urban areas, which can limit the impact of disasters to a limited area and prevent these disasters from spreading further.

If the calamity fails, only one area will fall, and neighboring areas will not be affected.

After that, the area will be temporarily removed from the list of protected areas. Once the calamity has completely disappeared, the migrants will return and the entire area will be rebuilt.

Chen Yu didn't know if his guess was right, but he felt that the division of the city was related to the calamity.

The atmosphere changed immediately after they realized that the bandaged man in front of them was the calamity of Cloud City.

The others stood up and blocked Chen Yu's path. Teacher Zhao also stepped forward and blocked the others behind him.

Camel became even more serious, his hands clenched under the leather hood, staring intently at the bandaged man in front of him.

If Chen Yu and the others hadn't been there, he would have risked his life to bite off a mouthful of sand from the other person.

The bandaged man was used to this kind of thing.

Leaning back on the sofa, he said with a wry smile, "You see, I am the calamity, and the desertification of Cloud City is also because of me."

The camel had many problems, but he felt a tightness in his throat and a buildup of pent-up emotions in his chest, making it impossible for him to speak.

He stared intently at the bandaged man, who made "hehehe" sounds, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Finally, the camel, as if freed from its shackles, stared at the bandaged man and asked, "Why? Why us?"

"...There's no reason why, I don't know. When I woke up, I was already inside this man's body. He must be some kind of temple keeper, maybe the temple keeper when I was still a star lord, I don't know. He used his own body to contain me, to imprison me. With this vessel, I began to understand what my existence meant, and began to look for a way to destroy me."

"Why do you want to destroy yourself?" Chen Yu asked. "Do calamities have their own thoughts?"

“I don’t know.” The bandaged man gave another bitter smile. “Although I am a calamity, I actually know nothing about calamities. All my common sense and desires come from this vessel. It wants to destroy calamities, so I also want to destroy myself. I once thought about contacting the Calamity Response Department, but I gave up later.”

"why?"

Staring at his right hand, the bandaged man pondered quietly for a long time before saying, "I don't know, maybe it's instinct or intuition. Anyway, I feel that the Calamity Response Department is abnormal, and I don't like that place."

After another moment of silence, the bandaged man raised his head, looked at Chen Yu, and asked, "Mr. Chen, I have revealed my past and let you know about it. Now, I am asking for your help as a calamity. Are you willing to help Yunduan revive? I will bear all the consequences. You can gain all the benefits during this period, while I will bear all the evil consequences."

A brand new contract is formed between him and Chen Yu. It is a power similar to a contract, but it penetrates deeper into the bottom of the world and is more mysterious.

After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, Chen Yu opened them, nodded, and said, "Okay."

"Thank you, please accept this money."

"No need for the money, use it where it's needed. Let's go check out the port, then start investing in reconstruction. Bandaged Man, is it okay if I still call you that?"

The bandaged man stared at Chen Yu for a long time, and after realizing that the other man's attitude towards him had not changed, he nodded and said, "No problem, thank you."

"Thanks, I'm off."

"no thanks."

Chen Yu knew why the other party thanked him, because he didn't actually feel the calamity very deeply, and his attitude wasn't that resistant.

After all, he also possesses the Heavenly Demon Body, making him even more dangerous than the bandaged man.

The more you understand the Heavenly Demon, the more you realize that he's the epitome of a cheat code.

Not only is he incredibly powerful, but all the Star Lords and cultivators combined couldn't withstand him, allowing the Heavenly Demon to roam freely for hundreds of years. So, Ancestor, what exactly did you do?
Boarding the bandaged man's shuttle, the group sped eastward through the rolling yellow sand and arrived at the seaside an hour later.

There is significantly less sand here; the strong sea winds constantly roll the sand from the shore into the sea, creating a white sand beach.

Amidst the pristine white sand, the massive harbor stands out prominently.

The passageway connecting this place to the outside world has 32 lanes, and there are even several shuttle ports in the middle to park shuttles.

The straight harbor line stretches for seven kilometers and can accommodate hundreds of giant ships at the same time.

The gantry cranes at the port are still there, but all the workers have disappeared, leaving only a port full of yellow sand.

In some places, you can even see warehouses under construction, but they are already full of sand.

This place was once the glory of Cloud City. Everyone who still makes a living in Cloud City has been here and can imagine what it used to be like.

Camels also frequently come here.

Seeing the magnificent port would gradually lift his spirits, but once he reached his peak, his mood would slowly sink again.

Although each time it causes him great emotional ups and downs, he still can't control himself and wants to do it every few days.

While the camel was feeling sentimental, Chen Yu had already jumped off the flying shuttle and landed in the massive harbor.

A port is like a small city, handling most of Cloud City's import and export trade and being Cloud City's proudest feature.

However, a disaster destroyed everything here, making Chen Yu realize once again that capitalism is indeed a very cruel thing.

Its ability to resist natural disasters and invasions is almost zero, but its internal oppression can be extremely effective.

Moreover, it has a strong self-destructive tendency, so it's definitely not a good thing.

After walking around, Chen Yu was very satisfied with the place.

He was even more pleased with the thought that he could invest all his extra cash here.

Although he disliked the Calamity Response Department, he still liked the port they had introduced.

Chen Yu called over the bandaged man and said to him, "It's ready, I'm about to begin."

The bandaged man visibly relaxed, then showed his bank account and said, "I'll transfer the money right now."

"No need, use my money."

"But……"

“Use mine! Use your money on more important things. Use mine first! Rent a hundred puppets first, then start recruiting drivers. This place needs to be cleaned up first. By the way, I remember you have smuggling channels. Help me contact them. I plan to go to court in five days to scare those bastards to death.”

"……OK."

However, while puppets are easy to find, good drivers are not so easy to find.

But after trying it out, the bandaged man found that the actual situation was much simpler.

After the call for help was issued in Chen Yu's name, a large number of former drivers from the Wu Group responded and said, "It's time to repay President Chen."

Seeing the group of enthusiastic drivers, the bandaged man glanced at President Chen, who was planning how to spend the money, and nodded slightly.

So that's how it is. Mr. Chen had planned this all along.

You still say you're not the incarnation of the future Star Lord?
　Sorry, I'll be there a little later than two more updates.
