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

Chapter 566 New Event Dungeon (36)

Noticing that Lian Qu was still staring at her, Jiang Qiao waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. But if President Chen is going to do this, then he must have his reasons!"

"Hmm...you make a good point, but I still find it unbelievable. Is it really possible for someone to be genuinely happy about being attacked online, or even to actively promote it?"

"It must be President Chen trying to lull his enemies into a false sense of security, making them reveal their true colors. Rather than letting them take their time, he might as well go all out and stab them in the back!"

Lian Qu thought about it and felt that this was something Chen Yu could do.

After all, that guy's mind is a little messed up.

He refused to take her money and even punched her; no normal person would do something like that.

However, she still asked, puzzled, "Do you think this is Chen Yu's true thought?"

"Absolutely, and President Chen has already hinted at it to me!"

Even after reviewing the proposal again, Lian Qu still couldn't find any hints in any corner.

Jiang Qiao smiled smugly and pointed to the work manual, saying, "You can't look at things one-sidedly; you have to be comprehensive. At this time, you should refer to General Manager Chen's work manual together."

Taking the work manual over, Jiang Qiao pointed to the "Villain Chapter" and said, "President Chen said that the villain leader doesn't have to be the strongest, but he must have a certain charisma. Also, villains can be redeemed, but they must have a legitimate reason. Finally, villains must be handsome."

Upon seeing this, Lian Qu suddenly realized: "I understand. First, he lowers his own reputation to the lowest point, and then reverses it at the last minute? Why didn't he just tell us directly?"

"He's probably being watched. Have you forgotten what happened to President Chen during his trip to Tianmu City? The Disaster Response Department has the Mercy Ship watching President Chen, so it's possible that someone else is too!"

"……really."

Hearing this, Lian Qu roughly understood Jiang Qiao's thoughts.

After carefully reviewing the logic again, she felt that Jiang Qiao's statement was correct.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why some people would think their image isn't dark enough and want to kick them while they're down.

Reputation also influences how others perceive you. A good reputation can attract the favor of the Star Lord and bring blessings and titles.

Therefore, even the worst capitalists will try to cloak themselves in a veneer of charity, while using dream weavers to beautify their image.

After thinking it through, Lian Qu asked, "I understand. So what do you need me to do?"

"President Chen's proposal is already very comprehensive, and since it's an event specifically for 'Journey to the Abyss,' there isn't much related content. I just need to follow President Chen's instructions step by step. Lian Qu, your only task is to create President Chen's image."

"Hmm, does it need to be bad, alluring, and at the same time have room for redemption?"

"Yes, the requirement is a mask. When wearing the mask, you have to be evil, and when you take it off, you have to be ridiculously handsome. Lianqu's mother, can you do that?"

"I told you not to call me Mom anymore... It's a bit difficult, but I can give it a try."

"Will you accept me calling you Mom? I don't mind having two moms."

"...It's about image!"

"Oh. Don't show the image without the mask yet; Mr. Chen should give a hint. Now, let's begin."

Nodding, Lian Qu began to think about how to create such an image.

This kind of image is a challenge, and the key to the challenge is how to directly transform the image of a character with just the eyes.

At the same time, these eyes must not ruin the Demon King's aura; they must give him a unique personality trait.

After thinking about it carefully, Lian Qu suddenly realized that this was Chen Yu's gaze.
Looking back at Chen Yu, Lian Qu realized that many of the other party's ideas went against common sense.

While others were trying to reduce employee wages and benefits, he was thinking about how to improve them.

While others were thinking about how to make money, he was thinking about how to spend it.

However, this seemingly contradictory behavior actually proved him right, making Lian Qu realize that Chen Yu really did have something special about him. Trying hard to recall the other man's gaze, Lian Qu began to formulate his thoughts, ponder, and summarize.

Jiang Qiao, on the other hand, began preparing for the event.

With Chen Yu's planning proposal paving the way, the entire event was produced very smoothly.

And without the limitations of a prosthetic body, Jiang Qiao felt like her mind was completely different.

She now realizes that using her brain doesn't feel like being pricked by needles, that she doesn't feel short of breath when conceiving a story with her boss as the villain, and that criticizing her previous company doesn't make her feel dizzy.

Moreover, her train of thought was not interrupted from time to time, and she did not have the idea that leadership was above all else. This made her finally realize that she was the master of her own life.

Work became a very pleasant experience, and the five days flew by.

Chen Yu also returned midway to check and deal with some issues together, and was greatly shocked by Jiang Qiao's performance.

I initially thought Jiang Qiao's abilities were only at the level of a level two dream weaver, but now it seems she's showing signs of developing towards level one.

Has he finally figured it out?
Talented people are hard to come by, especially now when everything is in short supply. Chen Yu is very happy with Jiang Qiao's growth and looks forward to her further development.

After the event was completed and the corresponding map was finished, Chen Yu came to the company after learning about the Featherless Arrow and said after checking it, "Jiang Qiao, well done."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Chen."

"You are fired."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'm going to rest now!"

Watching Jiang Qiao leave happily, Chen Yu asked Lian Qu in confusion, "What's wrong with Jiang Qiao? She always cries and makes a scene when she's expelled."

"He must have figured out what someone was thinking, so he's in a good mood now." Lian Qu, pen in mouth, curled up at his workstation like a shrimp.

"What's wrong with you?"

"We've hit a bottleneck."

Picking up the drawings Lian Qu had created during this period, Chen Yu felt that the drawings were already quite good.

The villainous demon king depicted by Lian Qu is dressed in a white suit, with the blue paper smeared on his face, a distinctive feature of temple priests. The grin that spreads across his face makes him look like no good person.

At first glance, you can tell this person is incredibly wicked, definitely the ultimate villain in your dreams.

And the thought that this person's prototype is himself makes it even more satisfying.

After watching for a while with satisfaction, Chen Yu asked, "You did a good job. Is there anything you're not satisfied with?"

"I can't draw the look in someone's eyes when they take off their mask."

"Let me see."

"Take it."

Staring at the image without the blue paper that Lian Qu handed over for a while, Chen Yu pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Is this the male protagonist from which book? And he seems to be the kind of guy who thinks he's the only one who matters in the world, and kills men and takes women into his harem."

"Do you feel this way too? Maybe it's because you've been watching too much animal documentary lately, so you've unconsciously picked up some of the wildness from it."

Rubbing his nose, Lian Qu turned his chair around, stared at Chen Yu for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, not enough. I remember removing Qingzhi's image is only useful in the later stages of the game, you probably don't need it now."

"That's true. So you can wait a few days, no problem."

"Thank you very much."

After letting Lian Qu continue to think it over, Chen Yu confirmed that there were no problems with the event and decisively chose to release it.

The new event dungeon for "Journey to the Abyss", "The Descent", is here!
