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

Chapter 547 You're still humiliating me! (26)

"The 'Ordinary Path' module was difficult to play at first, but we later discovered that many of the problems were caused by ourselves."

"Indeed, mortals don't consume that much energy, so there's no need to set such high standards at the beginning. Just work hard and accumulate experience."

"Multiple reincarnation cycles are also a unique feature. This idea is used very cleverly, and I really like it."

"It's interesting to package the second playthrough as the children; the kids are really cute."

“I also really like this feature. Through a lifetime of accumulation, we bring about the growth of our descendants. This sense of accumulation makes one feel the vicissitudes of life, but it also has a unique flavor.”

"The creator, Feng Le, also expressed his special thanks to Chen Yu, saying that his novel, 'The Immortal Clan,' inspired him. I feel that Chen Yu's model of sharing internal materials has a strong sense of tradition and can be promoted and learned from."

Hearing the praise from others, Chen Yu felt no joy whatsoever. Instead, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if a small fish had darted up to the back of his head.

What happened while I was away?

He immediately took out his phone and contacted Luo Tong, asking, "Luo Tong, what's going on with 'The Path of Mortals'?"

"Mr. Chen, have you submitted your evidence? May you begin speaking?"

Luo Tong sounded energetic, but Chen Yu was an expert in Ksitigarbha medicine. Just from the slight distortion, he knew that the other party had been drinking cow and horse extracts like crazy during this period and was probably working overtime to the point of near death.

But that's not the point!
The key question is: what is the story behind "The Road of Mortals"?

Why is there another multi-cycle?

Suppressing his unease, Chen Yu quickly asked, "Luo Tong, what's new in this module? Could you please tell me?"

"It's nothing, it's just an update based on the 'Work Manual' you left behind when you left."

Trying hard to recall his "Work Manual," Chen Yu asked, puzzled, "What did I say?"

Luo Tong also flipped through the manual blankly, and after finding the place he had marked, he said, "You said that a dream or module needs to be playable, and multiple playthroughs are a good arrangement. The setting of a second playthrough can effectively alleviate the frustration of players and make them more interested in experiencing it."

Recalling the manual he had written, Chen Yu realized that he had indeed written it.

But that's not right!
"I remember Feng Le's module was really spooky, shouldn't it be even spookier in the second playthrough?"

"The reason he was in the underworld before was because he felt he was going to die, but now that he's recovered and in a much better mood, we re-examined the situation and found many areas for improvement, which led to the current version. After experiencing it, we feel it's really good. There's much less of the content that was just for the sake of being in the underworld, and the original theme of the dream is much closer to the original."

"hiss……"

"Furthermore, Feng Le also read the manual you left behind, Mr. Chen. After reading it, he was amazed and deeply realized his own immaturity. He has decided to study behind closed doors, and he will definitely give you a surprise when he completes his studies."

"It's already here!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu wiped the cold sweat from his brow and immediately stared at his skill panel.

Both positive and negative emotions are increasing, but fortunately the increase in positive emotions is not significant, so there are no problems for the time being.

With just 3.7 million more negative emotions, I can succeed, no problem!
Across from him, Cao Zhen had also experienced the new version of "The Road of Mortals," and his face had become even paler.

The previous version of "The Road to Mortal Life" was all about torture.

As a mortal, the player can only do the lowest jobs, the dirtiest work, and eat the worst food, living like a rat in a dark and hopeless city.

However, after the update, the appearance of children added a bright spot to the module. These little lives are the most comforting sunshine in this terrible city, making the gloomy city brighter.

The mod creator, Feng Le, seems to really like children. The children he created can help tidy up the house, pick up trash, play games together, and constantly provide emotional value to the player. And when the player dies, the child becomes the new player, inheriting the will of the predecessor and continuing on their own path.

Each cycle accumulates a small amount of wealth, and once the wealth reaches a certain level, the previously unattainable artificial spiritual root finally becomes within reach.

This marks the end of the module and the beginning of a dream. The artificial spiritual root and the start of the game's main content are so perfectly combined that Cao Zhen feels as if he has truly worked hard and finally achieved his goal.

As the module ends, melancholic yet hopeful music plays, and scenes of each generation achieving significant accomplishments appear. The nostalgic design allows viewers to relive past moments at the end, bringing the dreamlike experience to its climax.

Even Cao Zhen was filled with emotion after his trip.

It's definitely a good module.

It was also a good dream.

That damn Chen Yu, how could he be so damn awesome!

Cao Zhen glanced at Chen Yu with envy, then heard the Inspector General of Changsheng Prefecture say, "Cao Zhen, you've already experienced the dream world. What are your thoughts?"

With the Star Lord above and the scales in front, Cao Zhen admitted that he did not have Chen Yu's strong Dao heart, who could lie to the Star Lord without changing his expression and being detected.

He lowered his head and had to say, "Brilliant."

"Where is it exciting?" the Inspector General of Changsheng Prefecture continued to ask.

Staring at the other person, Cao Zhen knew that the other person was doing it on purpose.

Although there is no law prohibiting it, he jumped from the Taoist school to the Buddhist school, making him an out-and-out Taoist thief.

It's understandable that the Chief Inspector of Changsheng Prefecture dislikes himself, but the fact that the Chief Inspector of Wangsheng Prefecture remains silent is quite thought-provoking.

Looking at the scales now tipped to 6:4, Cao Zhen could only say the truth: "The simulation of mortals is brilliant, perfectly capturing the hardships of ordinary people while always leaving a glimmer of hope, which is truly moving."

“Indeed,” the temple priest of the Thunder God smiled. “I also really like this setting, and using this module as the initial dream module is something I don’t think a demonic cultivator would do. Cao Zhen, is there anything else you’d like to say?”

Just as Cao Zhen was about to speak, Dao Lingyun's mother said to him, "Minister Cao, stop now. Haven't you realized you've fallen for their trap?"

"……I know."

Cao Zhen trembled as he took out his medicine box and pushed the most potent medicine from the bottom into it, but he still couldn't control his trembling.

Given how things have developed, how could he not realize that something was wrong?

He had observed Chen Yu's actions over the past few days, carefully analyzed and summarized each move, and used this information to correct his own behavior.

Even so, the other party still made effective arrangements in advance, negating all of his measures.

The sunk costs are already quite high. Although the 6:4 ratio doesn't match the initial result, it's still at least 40%.

Just as he was about to choose an out-of-court settlement, he heard Chen Yu say, "Cao Zhen, just admit defeat."

In an instant, Cao Zhen's eyes turned completely red.

Chen Yu!

Are you still humiliating me?
