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

Chapter 588 Who is Your Excellency? (26)

After seeing Yan Dazui off, Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that this time it should work out.

He himself has repeatedly emphasized "recording truthfully," so if Yan Dazui makes a mistake again, then he must find an opportunity to exorcise evil spirits for himself.

Upon noticing that Dao Lingyun and Lian Qu were still watching him, Chen Yu was about to explain when the two nodded, indicating that they understood.

Although it's unclear whether they understand or not, he's done all he can now, so he'll just continue to exploit the players' negative emotions.

After all, as long as you collect enough negative emotions, then nothing else matters!

In "Journey to the Abyss", players have lost three more cities, bringing the total to thirteen.

The most heartbreaking thing is the twelfth city. This city has a large number of cultivators, a large area, abundant resources, and an excellent geographical location, which can effectively support the nearby cities.

The area boasts well-developed rail systems; some players have even built high-speed rails here to facilitate their activities from this central location.

Unfortunately, this place has fallen.

Nearly 100,000 players participated in the defense of this city. The space-based cannon, which was even more powerful than the annihilation cannon, took to the stage. The entire battle lasted for three dream hours, but in the end, the city was defeated due to the masked man's lucky draw.

The fall of major industrial and transportation hubs severely damaged player morale, and the thirteenth city was easily captured without even forming a sufficient resistance force.

Within the municipality, players' activities have almost come to a standstill.

After discovering that their enemy was almost invincible, they finally lost all will to resist, but they couldn't bear to leave everything here, so they could only keep enduring the hardship.

The train began to stop, and the players wandered around like zombies, or started recording videos to document everything, as if this were their last day in the dream.

The same was true of the cities marked by the tractor beams, where large numbers of players began to party all night, using joy to fight death and madness to resist despair.

In the meeting room, even the wild vegetables looked like they were about to die.

The presidents were all online, but none of them wanted to say a word; they just silently watched the countdown on the wall.

The fall of the industrial hub was a fatal blow. The corrupt demon king had already carved out a significant portion of the Changsheng Prefecture's territory; they were finished.

After a long silence, Wild Vegetable finally managed to say, "Everyone, we failed this time. But it doesn't matter, we should be able to do better next time."

"There's nothing we can do. This time, Dawn's tactics were too despicable. Hopefully, next time we can anticipate Dawn's intentions in advance."

"Actually, it's not too bad. At least Dawn didn't make us spend money. The Dreamland game I played before had a similar event where spending money could weaken the enemy forces, which was really despicable."

"Have you topped it up?"

"Let's not discuss that; let's discuss whether it's despicable or not."

"Have you topped it up?"

"...I deposited a month's living expenses. But a friend of mine was in an even worse situation; he took out a loan and deposited over 100,000 yuan, and later even sold his body."

"From this perspective, Chenguang is quite merciful."

"Indeed, but I'd rather he make my life more fulfilling."

After chatting for a while, Wild Vegetable reluctantly prepared to log off, when a player named Fire Blossom ran in.

Seeing the dream name above the other person's head, Wild Vegetable asked in confusion, "Yuan Jie? What are you doing here? And aren't you a capitalist?"

"Don't mention it."

Sitting down, Yuan Jie showed his asset list, which clearly recorded his recent income.

Starting with 0 Abyss Coins, the investment soared to 1.2 billion, then failed in a single all-in bet, wiping out all remaining coins.

Upon seeing the changes in the other person's assets, Wild Vegetable gasped and then said, "You seem to be having a good time these past few days."

"That's right," Yuan Jie said smugly. Although he was bankrupt, Yuan Jie still seemed unconcerned, and his leisurely attitude made Ye Cai very envious.

This guy has cultivated his Dao heart very well.

But the next moment, Yuan Jie buried his head and cried, "I shouldn't have been greedy in that last game, otherwise I could have won 1.6 billion."

Seeing the other person cry, Wild Vegetables actually felt a lot closer to them.

Patting the other person on the back, Wild Vegetable said, "Don't cry, don't cry, it's just twelve thousand yuan... Wait, twelve thousand yuan? Why do I feel like crying too?"

"Right, big numbers!"

Finally, Yuanjie stopped crying, looked around, and then exclaimed, "You've built quite well here. I heard you worked on this for a whole month, why did you stop now?"

"Alas, we're going to lose," Wild Vegetable sighed. "The opponent is too powerful; we can't defeat them even with all our strength. We're ready to withdraw."

"Really? Do you have any previous videos?"

"some."

Miao Qingyu recorded all the videos and uploaded them to her ThunderNet account, creating a new trending topic.

These videos document the entire process of the fall of thirteen cities, featuring exciting, tearful, and explosive moments. Each episode features a variety of admirable characters and stories, leaving a deep impression on viewers.

After thirteen battles, the player had figured out the opponent's tactics and knew the masked man's abilities, but still couldn't defeat him.

The opponent's strength is ridiculously high, and different decks have different effects. Every time, it feels like the opponent has the ability to print cards on the spot, but after analysis, it seems like they don't.

After watching all the videos, Yuan Jie couldn't help but say, "What a pity."

"Yes, it's a real pity that so many urban areas have fallen."

"No, what I mean is that these players are a pity. If they were given to Huo Wang now, and combined with the Human Emperor Flag, they would be unstoppable."

Looking at Yuan Jie's regretful face, Wild Vegetables was speechless.

Although most people don't anthropomorphize much, you seem to be the least anthropomorphic one.

Then, Yuanjie asked the wild vegetables, "What's the situation in the occupied areas now?"

"We've fallen."

"And then? Did anything change inside?"

"A large number of corrupted mechanical constructs appeared and then began to harass other urban areas."

Yuan Jie gave the wild vegetables a strange look and asked, puzzled, "So?"

"Why?"

"Are you just going to let them harass you like this? Why don't you retaliate? Fight guerrilla warfare, sabotage their factories, seize their data, and turn them into beings under the Emperor's Banner. Are you just going to sit here and wait all the time?"

The wild vegetable opened its mouth as if to argue, but couldn't say anything.

Finally, he came up with an explanation and said with difficulty, "We have no experience, what if the sacrifices are too great?"

"You're a player! You're going to die sooner or later anyway, so what's the big deal about dying now? Player accounts aren't worth much, but equipment is. Just pick a Fireman as a teammate, and give him your equipment before you die. Don't tell me you can build together but can't trust each other, and can't even manage to manage one piece of equipment."

After a long silence, Ye Cai cupped his hands in greeting to Yuan Jie and asked, "Yuan Jie, who exactly are you?"

"My family members served in the army."

"really."
