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

Chapter 56 Beautiful!

The next day, Chen Yu woke up, curled up in bed.

It was still dark, and the other thirty-odd people were still asleep.

Someone was secretly crying in bed, whispering "Mom".

Visible particles floated in the air, mixing with the sweat and foot odor of my roommates, making the air feel much heavier.

Getting out of bed, Chen Yu yawned, picked up the factory guidebook lying nearby, and prepared to go out for some fresh air.

At this moment, the moon was bright and the stars were few, the wind whistled and the insects chirped, but the workshop not far away was still brightly lit. The night shift workers were working hard inside, but the noise was blocked by magic and could not be heard at all from the dormitory.

Finding a secluded spot, he first removed the "insights" from his body, then used the spell "Copy Key Points" again, turning the text on the guide into key points, and then added the "insights" back.

As he expected, the factory guide only had one line about employee benefits: "You can drink water."

The employee obligations and various punishments are listed in a dense, overwhelming manner, enough to make one's scalp tingle just by looking at them.

Behind every safety warning lies one or more lives, and behind every regulation lies dozens or even hundreds of fines.

Forcing himself to look over, Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh, "The capitalists of this lousy factory are too wicked."

[When working at heights, please cover your buttocks, fasten your belts at the front and back, and hand over the keys to the supervisor to prevent relieving yourself at heights. Violators will be fined.]

[Please place any complaints or comments in the wastebasket in the supervisor's office. We will collect and dispose of them properly. Violators will be fined.]

[The factory owner is kind-hearted; after a workplace injury, please do not shout louder than 40 decibels to avoid upsetting the owner. Violators will be fined.]

……

After watching it all, Chen Yu could only say, "Awesome!"

Lying on the grass outside the factory, he looked at the moon obscured by dark clouds and thought to himself that working in a factory was indeed meaningless.

Just as he was wondering if he should just end it like this, he saw a shadow appear above him.

The face of the group leader blocked out the sky above, and the burning cigarette seemed like a red star, twinkling around his mouth.

"Team leader, is there something you need?"

The old man didn't speak, but sat down next to Chen Yu.

He rummaged around in his pocket for a while, then silently took out a cigarette. Feeling something was amiss, he put it back and instead took out a metal box.

He opened the box, counted the candies inside, and then solemnly handed over the colorful candies wrapped in rice paper.

"Thank you, but I don't need it."

The old man glanced at them indifferently, then shook the box in his hand, indicating that he should eat one.

With no other option, Chen Yu could only select one and put it in his mouth along with the rice cake.

Five-color candies are not particularly expensive candies; they are usually made by Tianyuan itself, so the sweetness is often quite random.

In addition, salt is sometimes added to make the flavor more diverse and to create more layers of taste.

Some even add cilantro or chili, so every time you eat candy, it's a gamble.

However, the colorful candies given by the team leader achieved a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness, and even had a milky taste, so they must have put in a lot of effort.

If you taste it carefully, you can also detect the flavor of calming herbs, and the concentration is quite high. After consuming it, you can feel calmer.

Reading Chen Yu's expression, the old team leader continued smoking his cigarette, but his expression softened.

After finishing his cigarette, he threw the butt on the ground, stomped on it hard, then vigorously rubbed Chen Yu's shoulder and whispered, "Don't jump. If you can't hold on, just run. It's not shameful." After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and continued his inspection of the factory with steady steps.

Looking at the other man's thin back, Chen Yu muttered, "Is he afraid I'll jump? What a nice guy. I feel like all the workers in the factory are pretty good."

Lying back down on the grass, Chen Yu felt it wouldn't hurt to experience it one more time.

After all, he only experienced it once, while some people experience it for a lifetime.

But once he entered the workshop again and crawled into the cabinet, he began to regret why he hadn't taken the bucket and run away.

For the entire morning, Chen Yu, nestled in the pool, felt as if he were a conduit, with spiritual energy entering through his nostrils and magical power exiting through his navel.

I am nothing but a ruthless power-generating machine; living and defecating are merely byproducts of my existence.

Amidst the roar of the machine and the sweltering heat, Chen Yu felt his reason gradually slipping away. He realized he had become part of the machine and would work with it forever.

This ordeal didn't end until noon. A bewildered little boy was brought here and, under Chen Yu's sympathetic gaze, crawled into the machine to become the new mana pool.

Thank you, brother.

You'd better hold on a little longer.

Chen Yu, who had some free time, couldn't rest. Instead, he started another task: testing.

The group leader of Group Nine, who was smoking a cigarette, led Chen Yu to another workshop, where he saw the product of Tianyuan Agricultural Machinery Factory: the Trapper Type IV.

The term "trapper" refers to its type, and "Type IV" indicates that it is a fourth-generation product.

Its shape is that of a humanoid puppet, except that a large number of iron blocks are loaded on the outer shell, which makes the humanoid puppet tend to develop into a sphere.

They will be exported to other cities, some of which need these low-cost but highly defensive golems as bait to resist certain biological disasters.

It needs to be sturdy enough to hold back the abnormal creature, making it easier for other cultivators to escape or fight back.

The team leader tapped on the casing of a machine and gestured for Chen Yu to look at him.

He took off his gloves, clenched his fist, and delivered a simple, unadorned punch to the puppet's shell, producing a deep, bell-like sound.

The old team leader's straight punch was honed through countless trials and tribulations, and all the power in his body was released into the puppet with this punch, causing the puppet to tremble.

Squinting at the puppet, the old team leader waited quietly for the trembling to stop, then picked up a piece of sheet metal that had fallen off the puppet, frowned, and coughed heavily.

A young team leader immediately ran over, but before he could even explain, the older team leader slapped him and sent him flying.

Although he didn't say anything, Chen Yu saw two words in the old team leader's eyes: "Disgraceful!"

The unconscious team leader was dragged away, and the old team leader pointed to the remaining puppets, signaling Chen Yu to begin.

Stepping forward, Chen Yu re-enhanced his "comprehension," immediately bringing his own straight punch to perfection.

He clenched his fist, feeling his muscles contract, all his strength concentrated in his right hand, like a taut bowstring.

When the force was compressed to its limit, the punch surged forth, and the sound of it tearing through the air made the old team leader forget the cigarette in his mouth, staring blankly at Chen Yu.

As the cigarette butt fell to the ground, the bell rang, and the puppet in front of him trembled.

The deep voice attracted the attention of the other workers, and when they discovered that the source of everything was just a high school student, their eyes immediately filled with astonishment.

The old team leader stood there for a while, then picked up a cigarette butt from the ground, put it in his mouth, and took off his hat, placing it on Chen Yu's head.

He ruffled Chen Yu's hair and said with a smile, "Beautiful."
