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

Chapter 653 Are Our Wages a Bit Low? (36)

Chen Yu could not accept the idea of ​​asking the Earth Deity Star Lord to abandon his [morality] characteristic.

Tu De Xingjun was someone he watched transform from a calamity back into a star lord. Although he is still asleep, once he is revived, he will definitely be a great help to Tianyuan.

As a member of Tianyuan, Chen Yu knew that Tianyuan's biggest problem right now was the lack of a Star Lord to support them, which made them vulnerable to being attacked by anyone.

Even though he had beaten up so many people, and even had a cheat-like player like Teacher Zhao as his backer, he was still coveted by others. The root cause was that he was missing a Star Lord.

Moreover, if there were a Star Lord, the people of Tianyuan would not be so corrupted by their special characteristics as they are today. The Star Lord would help isolate some of the corruption and maintain the emotions of the residents here.

From this perspective, morality cannot be abandoned.

But what about your emotions if you don't let go?
Positive sentiment has probably already taken off, right?

But given the current situation, we have to accept it even if it takes off.

Nervously opening the cultivation interface, Chen Yu frowned, wanting to see how much positive emotion he had accumulated. He then discovered that his negative emotions had increased by 400,000.

And it’s still rising!
This discovery left Chen Yu stunned for a moment. Then, puzzled, he opened the details page and found that the screen was scrolling at an extremely fast speed.

[An unknown boss is unhappy because of an employee's request for a raise, negative emotions +100]

[An unknown boss is unhappy because an employee wants workers' compensation insurance, negative emotions +100]

[An anonymous employee is angry because their boss won't give them a raise; negative emotions +100]

……

Thanks to the continuous imports by the Real Estate Star Lord, Buddha statues have blossomed all over Changsheng State, with players everywhere enjoying them.

Previously, in order to pollute "morality", the Real Estate Star Lord absorbed all kinds of dissatisfaction into his own body, preventing his thoughts from leaking out.

Now, [Morality] is separated and flows into the body of the Earth Virtue Star Lord of Tianyuan.

Furthermore, due to the circulation of the Five Virtues, all the Five Virtue Star Lords were tainted by the corrupted morality, resulting in a full-scale outbreak among the relevant personnel.

Opening the dream platform, Chen Yu looked at the relevant dream descriptions and found that the reviews for this dream were polarized.

[This is what a demonic cultivator did when he was hungry in the wilderness. He saw some unofficial history by the roadside, excitedly pounced on it, and rolled up half of the history, still covered in straw paper, with his tongue. He shed tears of satisfaction and then hastily created this. It's so evil and disgusting!]

This is a statement from the boss.

[This dream was wonderful, but my boss is terrible! I'm going to take some religious artifacts to demand my wages, and if I don't get them, I'll hit him with a brick!]

This is a ridiculous statement.

[This dream was imported by Morning Light Co., Ltd., but I feel it's purely a Morning Light production, imported through the port simply to avoid the Star Lord's inspection. The dream is quite interesting, but the thought that the characters in it get a raise while I don't makes me a little sad.]

This is also a beast.

After carefully reading the related comments, Chen Yu discovered that most people misunderstood the dream as his own creation.

Moreover, with the media fueling the flames, nothing I say will make a difference.

But precisely because of this, bosses get angry because this dream makes their employees want a raise, and employees get angry because their bosses don't give them a raise—these are all negative emotions.

Even their own employees are dissatisfied because of the perceived indebtedness, and this negative sentiment has spread everywhere.

"Hmm..." Looking at the result, Chen Yu suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Isn't this great?
Moral shifts bring reflection and unease, which are natural sources of negative emotions that can completely overshadow positive emotions and become a major source of one's own emotions.

This is not a trivial matter, but a small-scale shift in the times and a reshaping of collective will, which contains a great deal of negative emotions and should not be overlooked.

This time, I should be able to eat my fill.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle softly.

To others, Chen Yu's actions had a different meaning.

In their view, Chen Yu had already secured victory, as if the game of Go had reached its final, decisive moment.

All the pieces are in place, and the entire strategy was laid out for this moment. The struggle between various forces is all for this instant, and Chen Yu is the final victor.

Upon seeing that smile, everyone present fell into a few seconds of silence.

That smile was full of confidence, as if nothing in front of him mattered.

The victory bells have rung, and Chen Yu knows he will surely return in triumph.

With a confident gesture, Chen Yu said, "No need to worry about it, this is fine! Let me double-check, is this situation okay for Tianyuan?"

“The impact will be minimal,” Lian Qu explained. “The circulation of the Five Virtues is underway, and the current moral pollution will be gradually distributed and disappear after a period of time. However, the part that is accepted by people will remain, while the rest will dissipate.”

"Then there's no problem. Just leave it alone."

“But you’ll be reported,” Shen Lang added. “The Real Estate Star Lord won’t let this opportunity pass, and many bosses and employees will be dissatisfied with you, which could lead to them having bad intentions towards you. At that point, the entire Changsheng Prefecture and even the Great Qian World will be your enemies. Is that really a good thing?”

"Alright, now that I've covered the advantages, what's the cost?"

Shen Lang was speechless for a moment.

After all that talking, do you really understand what I'm saying?

He wanted to say something more, but Zhuge Xingjun stopped him.

Gently shaking his head, Zhuge Xingjun pulled everyone outside and whispered, "Haven't you figured it out yet?"

"What do you see?"

"Chen Yu's thoughts. Chen Yu is already prepared to sacrifice himself for Tianyuan, so there's no need for you to try to persuade him. It seems he's prepared to draw fire, so no amount of persuasion will work. The only thing we can do is provide support from behind and let him know we're there for him."

Looking back at Chen Yu, Zhuge Xingjun felt a pang of emotion.

Is it the essence of benevolence and righteousness to take the initiative and win by half a move against fate?
After thinking for a long time, Lian Qu finally lowered his head and said, "I know, but..."

"Don't worry, my disciple isn't that fragile," Teacher Zhao said, leaning closer. "And if anything happens to Chen Yu, I guarantee everyone will pay the price."

Seeing the serious-looking Teacher Zhao, the others began to silently hope that Chen Yu would really be alright.

Xiao Hei looked around, then got up and jumped into Chen Yu's arms, rubbing against him vigorously.

As the [Morality] attribute fully returns, the pollution of this attribute flows to other areas along with the Five Virtues, beginning to pollute the entire Changsheng Prefecture.

Under the influence of pollution, employees of various companies have begun to have some overstepping ideas:
Are our wages a bit too low?

　I failed the review; I'll try again tomorrow.
