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

Chapter 583 I've Finished (26)

The fall of Wenchang City cast a pall of gloom over the conference room. The preparations that Zhuge Xingjun had made were repeatedly studied by the player guild leaders in order to gauge the strength of their opponents.

Zhuge Xingjun's narration before his death was calm and composed. He described his views on the masked man in detail with an almost emotionless tone. Only when he was killed did he look back at Wenchang and leave with a reluctant expression.

With his handsome appearance, affectionate eyes, and the tragic state of being pierced through the chest, this single image perfectly showcases Zhuge Xingjun's beautiful, strong, and tragic side, causing the painting to quickly spread and become a hit on the Dream Network.

Seriously, that's so tragic. Just looking into that eye, I could tell she had a story to tell. She lost her mother, her father remarried, and she was kicked out of her home. After years of wandering, she finally found a place to stay, only to be murdered after a few days of peace.

Here's a pen, you write.

[That really hit the nail on the head. How can someone's eyes look so pitiful?]

[To be able to lay a hand on such a powerful figure as Zhuge Xingjun, Chen Yu is indeed utterly wicked.]

【You haven't seen the current state of Wenchang and Tianyuan. It's a scene of utter devastation after a natural disaster; not a blade of grass grows there. Even the ants in the soil have been fished out and sterilized. It's horrific.】

[Prince Zhao is a genius, too ruthless.]

[I can vouch for this! I'm right here in Tianyuan, and he's currently hanging up and beating the president of Tianyuan and a self-proclaimed moral paragon!]

How could Prince Zhao and Chen Yu be so mean!

No, I have to support Zhuge Xingjun; I can't let him be sad anymore.

The faith in Wenchang Xingjun is growing, and his temples are receiving a large number of registration applications, with people hoping to become his followers and looking forward to him continuing to perform this expression.

Zhuge Xingjun was both amused and exasperated by this.

Although he has died in the event instance, he can still enter the dream as a wandering spirit, serving as a soldier in the Human Emperor's Banner.

However, he is now satisfied, his regrets have been made up, and he does not want to enter the dream world for the time being.

After realizing his own thoughts, Zhuge Xingjun felt somewhat confused.

Star Lords are extremely difficult to change; many things are like a gentle breeze to them, and they are gone as soon as they pass.

Unexpectedly, just by experiencing an event instance, I felt some changes in my mindset.

After slitting his own throat, Zhuge Xingjun returned to his original form and sorted out his thoughts.

Upon his return, he didn't bother wiping the blood from his neck; his heart was filled with joy.

Got it!

At some point, Wenchang Xingjun developed a small "benevolence and righteousness" characteristic. This characteristic allows his worshippers to gain wisdom while also becoming more benevolent and righteous.

The characteristics of the Star Lord are like a giant color palette, with each color representing a characteristic, and when mixed together, they create the complete picture of the Star Lord.

The dream weaver's dreams can influence the proportions of colors by affecting all living beings and the incarnations of star deities, and can even insert desired characteristics into them, thereby influencing the general trend.

Although it may seem small, this change is enough to affect tens of thousands of lives and alter the course of many things.

"Benevolence and righteousness" is a quality that Wenchang Xingjun has always desired, but this quality is too difficult to obtain in this era.

Unexpectedly, he obtained what he had been dreaming of today, making Zhuge Xingjun sigh that Chen Yu was indeed the backup plan of Renyi Xingjun, and just being together with him could make him benevolent and righteous.

With gratitude, he reorganized his guesses about the masked man and put them in "Morning Light's Back Garden".

[It now appears that the masked man is a hidden profession, likely related to the dream world that Morning Light plans to create later.]

[The opponent's ability is to draw cards, so I speculate that they likely have a special container to hold cards they've prepared in advance, and they actually draw one card from it each time.]

[I personally suspect that the opponent has different decks, randomly changing their deck each time they attack an event dungeon. Therefore, I suggest increasing the quantity of Annihilation Cannons rather than their quality, and continuing to observe the opponent's decks.]

[Believe in yourself, victory will surely be ours!] New strategies have been updated in the back garden, and there are more and more analyses of the deck. Many people have even started to create corresponding modules in "My Dream" to recreate and try to defeat Chen Yu's deck.

The interconnectedness between dreams reappeared. All of Chenguang Company's dreams were like a whole, and the sudden popularity of one part could drive the others, increasing the company's revenue by 10%.

Chen Yu was quite happy before he noticed the increase in sales.

The fall of Wenchang City brought a lot of negative emotions, which made him feel that this time things were stable.

But when he saw the sales increase and the company's profits rise, he couldn't smile anymore.

Staring at the company's sales chart, he carefully calculated the revenue and output in his mind, secretly hoping that nothing would go wrong.

Lian Qu happened to look up and saw Chen Yu's current expression.

Despite the positive situation, good player feedback, and promising company revenue, Chen Yu still wore a worried expression.

This expression, like a burning block of ice, made Lian Qu suddenly realize what she had been lacking all along.

It's a contradiction!

It's about storytelling!
Chen Yu didn't explain the masked man's origins or his purpose. There was almost no backstory in the dream, so the player had to guess everything.

But the more this is the case, the more anchor points are needed to serve as the starting point for players' thinking, and the true face of the masked man is the most important one.

At that moment, Tu Lianqu, who had been stuck for several days, felt an explosion of inspiration. Ideas flooded her mind, making her feel that her painting skills had improved by at least one level.

Picking up her paintbrush, she quickly sketched, capturing the eyes and expression of the masked man in just a few minutes.

When she showed the picture to Chen Yu, she exclaimed excitedly, "Chen Yu, look!"

"What are you looking at... Holy crap!"

Staring at the painting Lian Qu had given him, Chen Yu realized he was wrong.

He had always thought that Lian Qu could only draw erotic pictures, but he never expected that she could be so good when she was serious.

I thought the face covering was the pinnacle of Lianqu, but I never expected that the face underneath was the real masterpiece.

After admiring him for a while, Chen Yu noticed that the other person's features were about 80% similar to his own, but their expressions were completely different.

This is a face that tells a story. Youthfulness and maturity, justice and evil, all kinds of contradictory emotions are displayed on his face, leaving a deep impression.

Using it to depict the masked man's true appearance would definitely leave a deep impression.

Combined with his past atrocities of destroying city after city, he will likely become an indelible madman in the history of dream games.

Nodding in satisfaction, Chen Yu said, "This is it. Lian Qu, well done."

"Give me a little more praise!"

"That was amazing!"

"More!"

"No wonder she's the mom who draws the most erotic pictures in Changsheng Prefecture!"

"...I'm impotent."

"Alright, enough joking. I'm going to find Lin Jiashu to compose the music for the character. Hehehe, this time, I'm sure I'll make the players wish they were dead!"
