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

Chapter 643 I'm playing a pirated version! (26)

The Buddha statues made by Cao Zhen are exquisitely crafted and of excellent quality. Even without the dream scenes they created, they are still rare masterpieces.

According to the previous practices of Buddhist cultivators, these Dharma statues are already Dharma artifacts. Three to five thousand is the cost, and seven to eight thousand is the normal selling price.

But they were determined to get revenge on Chen Yu!

The profits from "This Piece" were all used to subsidize their own "This One." They even covered the shipping costs for each statue, spending 300 million yuan on that alone.

Moreover, after the statues were delivered, the price of these statues was only 1,100, which was even close to the factory price.

The Xu Group also began to fuel the fire, launching operations related to dreams, transforming into a massive money-devouring behemoth, and continuously promoting the Buddhist-style dream concept.

After seeing that the creator of this dream world is a Buddhist monk and the publisher is the Xu Group, dream world enthusiasts are basically convinced that this is a money-grabbing garbage dream world.

However, after seeing that it was priced at 1,100 and could accommodate 20 cultivators, with an average price of 55 per dream, they began to suspect that this dream was a pay-per-play game, and that the pay-per-play situation inside must be particularly serious.

After seeing that there were no pay-to-play items and only a large number of mini-dream gameplay elements, they began to suspect that this was a time-limited dream.

After the Xu Group and Wangshengzhou announced that there would be no extra charges for this dream and promised to release at least three series every year for the next ten years, players said they were really happy with it.

Some livestreamers began to promote the company spontaneously, and the reputation of the Xu Group began to improve somewhat. The company's stock began to rise, which greatly increased "Xu Zilong's" influence.

In order to prevent the cultivators of Changsheng Prefecture from being corrupted, Chen Yu's dream was only released in Wangsheng Prefecture. This gave Cao Zhen and "Xu Zilong" an opportunity to turn the tables on them.

In Tianyuan, Sun Lei, the temple keeper of Huode Xingjun, was also such a victim.

At first, he didn't think it was a good dream.

It contains too much artificial intelligence, a lot of bizarre content, and the gameplay is simple. Each level either involves finding clues or just randomly following the rhythm.

But as he played with it, he felt that there was something special about it.

Although the gameplay is simple, the simpler something is, the easier it is to form structural memory and it provides another way of thinking.

Following the other person's way of thinking, Sun Lei discovered that these dream series also provided a series of short stories, making them quite interesting to play with.

Moreover, there are many dream series here, and if you don't like one, you can choose another. The gameplay is similar but with some differences, so that you can always feel something new.

(Interesting, did the Rebirth Prefecture hire a top-tier dream weaver this time? I've never heard of that before.)
Top-tier dream weavers are generally the best in the industry, and they start promoting their projects as soon as they begin, so it's unlikely that someone would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Just as he was about to continue the experience, he heard the driver in front say, "Mr. Sun, we're almost at Tianyuan."

After leaving the shuttle, Sun Lei walked into Tianyuan, then walked into the city center, heading towards Chenguang Co., Ltd.

Every time he entered Tianyuan, he could feel a vigorous life force growing wildly there.

The streets of Tianyuan have been completely transformed. A large number of puppet drivers with only heads are working tirelessly to repair the ground and rebuild the entire city according to Zhao Ting's plan.

The main road here has been renovated, and new side roads are under construction. A large number of houses have been built along the street like mushrooms, welcoming the New Year with a brand-new look.

Aromatherapy shops are currently very popular, and aromatherapy products imported from Osaka Prefecture are trending. Almost every shop is burning essential oils stored in bottles, filling the air with complex fragrances.

This fragrance can improve students' concentration and thinking ability, and it can also improve blood circulation. It is also safe to release into the air.

Although they experienced a calamity, this calamity did not damage the foundation of the residents. On the contrary, it enabled them to gain good physiques through continuous farming and a regular life, which greatly increased their value.

Everything here seems a bit rough and disorganized, but it has a unique feel that sets it apart from other places.

As he looked around, Sun Lei nodded, remarking that Tianyuan had been doing quite well lately. When he entered Chenguang Co., Ltd., he noticed that the company had also attracted significantly more talent than before.

Chen Yu still has classes today, Luo Tong is still at the factory, and only Jiang Qiao, Yan Ye, Xu Youran, and Lian Qu are in the office right now.

After entering, Sun Lei found that the four people were engrossed in studying something and had no idea of ​​his arrival.

Without disturbing the four, Sun Lei watched for a while and discovered that they were studying the dream.

"Something feels off. What does Mr. Chen mean by adding this prop here?"

"I don't understand it, and after looking at it for a while, my head feels buzzing."

"What exactly does Mr. Chen mean?!"

"I don't understand, I don't understand at all!"

Seeing the four people gradually becoming obsessed, Sun Lei felt a little incredulous.

You guys are amazing for playing with dreams to the point of madness.

After watching for a while, Sun Lei couldn't help but cough.

After attracting the attention of the four, Sun Lei asked, "It's been a long time, everyone. Are you also playing 'This Incredible World'? What problems have you encountered? I'm not bragging, but I've played this dream for a long time, and I know many of the solutions."

The four looked at each other in confusion, then asked in bewilderment, "Where did you play this?"

“They’re everywhere outside. You can buy a Dream Realm qualification for just a few dozen yuan and then you can play. To be honest, I feel like this Dream Realm is a rip-off at 55 yuan. I doubt they can even recoup their costs in the Rebirth State. I suspect they have ulterior motives, but they might as well take advantage of this bargain.”

The four were even more confused.

The other person's blank expression made Sun Lei feel uneasy, and he didn't seem to have played the series that the four of them were playing before.

After a moment's hesitation, he pointed to the dream world the four of them were playing and asked, "You're playing 'This Incredible World,' right?"

"No, it's 'This Incredible World.' Although it's only one word different, I feel like the dream you're talking about isn't the same as the one we're talking about."

"...Is it a dream that originated from the State of Rebirth?"

"No, it was developed by an outsourced team hired by General Manager Chen, and it wasn't released in Changsheng Prefecture, but in Wangsheng Prefecture."

"...Then what am I playing?!"

"Piracy?"

Sun Lei immediately felt like he had stepped on a historical figure.

He quickly borrowed the dream from Jiang Qiao. He first confirmed the timestamp of the dream, confirming that it had been registered with the Dream Star Lord a long time ago.

Afterwards, I decisively compared the two dreams and found that their content was similar, their gameplay was similar, and even the female versions of the Taoist Star Lords were similar.

After realizing what he had done, Sun Lei's face was covered in rashes and his complexion turned bright red.

He meows!
I'm playing a pirated version!
