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

Chapter 663 What was bound to happen has finally happened (36)

From the moment he saw the blue light, Chen Yu began making preparations.

Upon realizing that the other party was indeed targeting him, he immediately activated his reserve bar, pouring all his positive emotions into it and filling it to the maximum limit.

Even so, he was still terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

Big Star Lord, you're doing this too!
Luckily, I have enough health, otherwise I would be done for today!

Slowly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Chen Yu was about to say something when he noticed that Inspector Wang and Zhong Zheng were staring at him in astonishment.

"Why are you all looking at me?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing," Chief Inspector Wang said blankly. "It's just that it's the first time I've seen someone catch the eye of the Great Star Lord, so I find it incredible."

"Yes, can I shake your hand? After we shake hands, I'm going to frame that hand and only look at it twice a day."

"You guys are exaggerating. But why is the Great Star Lord suddenly interested in me?"

"There are too many reasons. For example, the dream was well-done, or the conspiracy was carried out without giving anyone a handle to use against them, etc., are all possibilities," Chief Inspector Wang said seriously.

"When did I ever plot anything? I, Chen, have always acted with integrity and honesty!"

"Yes, that's the spirit! We must keep it up!" Zhong Zheng clapped and shouted.

"……Hopeless."

With a long sigh, Chen Yu was moved. He opened his score panel and found that his morality score had actually increased by 3 points, reaching 90.

The higher one's moral standards, the harder it becomes; achieving a score above 90 is virtually impossible.

So, why would I increase my morality?
Is it the attention of the Great Star Lord, or is there another hidden reason?

Just as Chen Yu was thinking, Inspector General Wang glanced at his phone again and said, "There is important news to announce, and it is very likely related to you, Chen Yu."

"...What's wrong now?"

"I don't know either. It seems to be a joint statement issued by the Longevity State and the Rebirth State, which supplements the previous laws. The new laws will take effect in the Longevity State and the Rebirth State. It sounds like it's a remedy and mending of the [moral] pollution."

Seeing that Chen Yu seemed a little confused, Inspector Wang explained, "Laws are the embodiment of the Star Lords' authority and power. These laws can stabilize the corrupted 'morality,' remove the pollution, and retain the content that is beneficial to oneself, making 'morality' more in line with the times. From then on, acting in accordance with morality will be rewarded, and persisting in it may earn the Star Lords' commendation, so it is extremely important."

"I see... Let's take a look together then."

If the news is important, you can try to use it in reverse to see if you can extract some negative emotions.

After all, it's really too dangerous right now.

Chief Inspector Wang nodded, then activated his external display. The three of them sat on the floor and began reading the news reports in front of them.

This news report is from the official media of Raibu Shrine, and it has zero entertainment value. Many of the reports are confusing at first glance and require detailed analysis to understand their true meaning.

But this time, the news reports were very down-to-earth.

"According to the latest report, a great star deity made a surprise visit to Changsheng Prefecture and highly praised the economic development and public security environment of Changsheng Prefecture and Wangsheng Prefecture. At the same time, he made some criticisms of the real estate star deity and hoped that the Bodhisattva of Universal Benefit could continue his efforts and make further progress."

"Flowers bloom like a sea, and crowds throng the streets. The arrival of the Great Star Lord has attracted widespread attention from the citizens. Here are some of our random interviews with them..."

Subsequent reports were meaningless; the key was the criticism and encouragement.

The former sounds rather tragic, while the latter is more sophisticated.

However, Chen Yu didn't like either of the two star lords, so he didn't care.

And journalism is indeed impressive; someone just casually threw down a green talisman, and it was written as an investigation. No wonder they studied journalism.

He had originally intended to ask what part of this place was related to him, but then he heard a host read out:

"Based on the rectification suggestions put forward by Da Xingjun, we have integrated the latest opinions and made regulations on minimum wage and working hours."

"The minimum wage for ordinary people has been adjusted to 961.27 yuan, and the minimum wage for cultivators has been adjusted to 1828.31 yuan, with a minimum of three hours of work per day..."

"Minimum insurance must be purchased, and wages cannot be delayed for more than twenty days. Violators will be reported by the day and night patrol officers, and too many reports will result in moral demerits..."

Chen Yu initially thought it was a good thing, since the minimum wage had increased, meaning he could earn more, which was a positive development. Moreover, more money meant more spending, which in turn created more liquidity, all of which was beneficial for Tianyuan's recovery.

But even though it's a good thing, why is my back shaking?

As Chen Yu listened, he realized that many of the measures were not right.

Why does that sound so familiar?
Zhong Zheng, who was standing to the side, stared thoughtfully at the screen for a while before saying, "Chen Yu..."

"Ah."

"Don't you think this is a setting from your 'My Factory'?"

"Yeah, I feel that way too."

Chen Yu stared at the news footage with a solemn expression, his mind reeling with turbulent thoughts!

Don't……

I don't know who you are, but please don't...

The dream I had was based on the treatment of workers in the past at Tianyuan, so if you want to thank someone, thank the Tianyuan of the past, it has nothing to do with me now!

It doesn't matter!

Before him, the host announced in a cheerful voice, "That concludes the supplementary legislation. Once again, I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Chenguang of Tianyuan City; much of the content of this local legislation comes from the dream world 'My Factory,' which you are all welcome to experience. Thank you!"

In Chen Yu's eyes, the host's face began to distort, the voice began to drift in and out of sight, and everything around him was becoming distorted and deformed, eventually turning into something he couldn't understand.

This happened a year ago, and now you're betraying me!

Silently sitting up, Chen Yu stood by the window, contemplating whether he should follow the example of the ancients and jump from here.

Chief Inspector Wang jumped up, patted Chen Yu on the shoulder, and said, "Impressive! You've really brought honor to Tianyuan this time! But you're not after this empty title, are you? What else?"

Zhong Zheng rolled over and said excitedly, "My Factory is a good dream, but it's still a bit inferior to the ones that come later. After that, it's about luring them into Journey to the Abyss, and then promoting the other dreams. Chen Yu, you're amazing..."

With just a few words, the two sentenced Chen Yu to death, letting him know what it means to be cut by a dull knife.

Looking at the skill panel, he saw the skill information erupt again, letting him know how wide the scope of this decree's influence was.

The unknown monk is deeply grateful for your contribution; positive emotions +100.

An unknown monk is preparing to worship you; positive emotions +100.

……

A flood of positive emotions surged in, and the emotional bar, which had just been brought to its limit by the Great Star Lord, could no longer withstand such overwhelming public opinion, almost breaking through the limit again.

Chen Yu could almost hear the thunderous cheers, each praise turning into a bullet that whistled towards his brow.

Thankfully, he's still breathing.

If we can just hold on until tomorrow, then there won't be any problems!
The moment that thought crossed his mind, he saw his positive emotions surge several notches.

[Moral stability is restored; the Five Virtues Star Lords have officially begun their circulation. An unnamed Star Lord is filled with gratitude towards you; positive emotions +1500000.]

[The Five Virtues have circulated once more. An unknown star deity, grateful for your contributions, has decided to reward you handsomely: +500000 positive emotions.]

……

The largest stroke should be that of the Earth Virtue Star Lord, while the smaller one, which is repeated four times, is that of the Four Virtue Star Lord.

It doesn't matter anyway, I'm doomed anyway.

Looking into the distance, Chen Yu felt a tear fall from his eye.

What was bound to happen has finally happened.
