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

Chapter 574 My Second Hometown (26)

In the second phase, the Corrupted Moon will rise, and various dangers will arise. The mechanical creations we see now are just the tip of the iceberg; the real dangers are yet to come.

The great demon king Chen Yu from the outside world will sweep in with his terrifying army!

Here you'll find the invincible physical cultivator, the fallen Zhao Ziri; the ruthless killer Zhong Zheng, whose thoughts and spirit have completely degenerated; and the undead king Yan Ye, who commands thousands of Yin soldiers and allows your brothers and sisters to embrace you even after they die.

Not to mention the puppet army, the lord of insects, and all sorts of surprises awaiting the players, letting them know what a true demon king is.

Besides, there's the morally superior Ma Daqiang, the clairvoyant little hamster, and countless elite monsters and little fairies here. You'll definitely feel what I'm talking about!

The more fun you have now, the more satisfying it will be to reap the rewards of your negative emotions later!
In this way, when others mention you, they will likely feel both love and hate. This love-hate relationship can definitely squeeze out a lot of negative emotions, which is exciting just to think about.

The radio station in Changsheng Prefecture has now been lit up, symbolizing that the voice of civilization has been transmitted, making it the city with the fastest progress so far.

Other cities are slowly figuring things out, but I believe that in a few days they will also establish order and begin rebuilding their instances.

However, Chen Yu isn't some kind of demon. After this event ends, he'll give everyone a reward, and then open this place as a permanent instance.

However, there will be a Blood Moon every game month after that. This dungeon will become a regular place to harvest negative emotions. Just thinking about it makes people feel happy and want to eat more rice.

"Hehehe, just thinking about how players will grab onto railings, tear up bedsheets, and roar out my name in anger because of me makes me incredibly excited!"

After laughing, Chen Yu juggled his five balls and asked Lian Qu, "Lian Qu's mom, how's it going on your end? Has the Demon King's final design been decided yet?"

"Why do you call me 'Mom' too?" Lian Qu asked, frowning.

“I saw Jiang Qiao calling out to you so happily before, and you seemed happy to recognize her too. Otherwise, calling her ‘Mother’? But that would be too girly, wouldn’t it?”

Lian Qu squinted at Chen Yu, who was beaming with joy, and knew that the guy must be in an extremely good mood right now.

However, the current data is indeed quite good. Sales of "Journey to the Abyss" are still increasing, and just one dream can contribute a billion to the company's account.

Lian Qu still felt that the dream was sold too cheaply, but Chen Yu said it didn't matter, he had other plans.

After staring at Chen Yu for a while, Lian Qu gritted his teeth and said, "You must be in a good mood seeing the plan going smoothly."

"Yes, is it that obvious?"

"But I can't do it! I've managed to recreate Zhao Ziri, Zhong Zheng, and Xi Tianluo, but I just can't get your image right! How am I supposed to capture that look in your eyes?"

"Don't take it too seriously, just get it close enough."

"No, not properly outlining it would damage my professional skills. What should I do?"

"It's okay, take your time, there's plenty of time."

While Lian Qu continued to be troubled, Chen Yu began to examine the images of other people that the other party had provided.

These characters are all authorized by the prototypes and will be gradually released as needed. They will be gradually "whitewashed" during the event and eventually become important non-player characters.

A well-designed character can greatly enhance the player's engagement with the dream world, and can also offer guidance when the player encounters setbacks, pulling the player's emotions back on track.

The ultimate goal of all these characters is to generate the most negative emotions for themselves, making "Journey to the Abyss" their true source of negativity. All the characters can be redeemed, except for one.

That was the great demon king he himself played.

This character has to be evil to the core, but definitely not in a human way.

His wickedness likely stems from a high-level contempt, a disdain for life itself. In his eyes, all living beings are merely pawns to be manipulated, with absolutely no room for compromise.

In the storyline, he is also ruthless and merciless, indiscriminately taking lives. The world corresponding to the dungeon also fell because of him. Once players delve deeper, they will realize that this guy is a true demon king, and there is no need to redeem him; he should just be executed.

With this kind of role, coupled with his current reputation on the Dream Network, he will definitely solidify his identity as the Great Demon King, and he shouldn't have to worry about negative emotions for a while in the future.

Chen Yu smiled with satisfaction as he thought about what he would do to the players afterward.

A month in the game is a long time, but thanks to the unique time compression technology in the dream world, only about four days have passed in reality.

Wild vegetables were never offline during this entire month of gaming.

He was completely immersed in the world of the dungeon, wishing he could cut off his brain and stuff it into the dream, making himself a part of the dream.

Journey to the Abyss is so much fun!

The dream world is even more fun with Arrival loaded!
"My Dream" is absolutely hilarious!
Compared to a municipality a month ago, this place has completely changed.

Within the municipality, all buildings have been renovated and optimized by numerous players, incorporating spirit stone circuits to give them more functions.

The superstructure has been completely cleared out, the traces of vegetation have disappeared, and almost all functional buildings are concentrated here, giving the upper area a more powerful function than in reality.

The lowest level of the factory area was also built, and the Ling Shi line was applied here on a large scale.

The factory's characteristics were further enhanced. A large number of factory workers transformed the factories one by one, combining various bizarre characteristics from "My Dream" with the factories, thus creating even more interesting characteristics.

Now, the factories here are fully automated. Buildings such as mob farms, cobblestone generators, and obsidian factories are interconnected, allowing them to stably produce a variety of resources and blocks.

The residential area in the middle is a testament to the players' hard work.

Here, they can stay in large rooms they couldn't afford before, and enjoy services they couldn't access before.

They built a fully automated farm here, and they have more food and purified water than they can use every day. The warehouse is piled high with the fruits of the players' labor, and any player can come in and enjoy them freely, since the machines will fill the warehouse in no time.

They built zoos and botanical gardens, where wild animals were brought in and cared for and fed by automated puppets.

The abundant energy has filled the municipality with light, and the previously abandoned circular railway has been put into use, making it easier for players to travel through every corner of the city.

The municipalities now directly under the central government have become more modern cities than they actually are.

This place embodies the hard work of the players and is their proud second home.

The labor of 53,111 cultivators is embodied here, filling every player who participated in its construction with pride.
