I alone have my own laws; I start by fabricating myths and legends of mountains and seas.

Chapter 33 The Heartless Chen Yang

It seems I didn't do anything special. The only unusual thing was that I added a Heavenly Dao with authority in the dream world, and that the dream world absorbed the emotional crystals.

So, could it be that the emotional crystals absorbed by the dream world strengthen the dream world, and then the dream world in turn nourishes the [Shared Dream Pillow]?

This is the best guess. If it is true, it is undoubtedly good news for Su Fan. He used to think that collecting detention fees was just taking advantage of others, but now it seems that it is for the continued development of the Mountain and Sea Realm!

If the conjecture holds true, this enhancement is sustainable! Then we can use some of the emotional crystals to help the [Shared Dream Pillow] evolve in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

What if it's not for this reason? Then the only difference is that the world of mountains and seas has the Heavenly Dao. Why would the presence of the Heavenly Dao lead to the mutation of the [Shared Dream Pillow]?

Su Fan didn't bother to think too much about it. He figured he'd just let the dream world absorb the emotional crystals again when he entered the Mountain and Sea Realm next time, and see if anything would change.

Having set out a general plan, Su Fan stopped thinking about it.

【Mountain and Sea Realm (Group Chat)】

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "In my opinion, after we have paid off the debts, when we start making plans, I suggest that we select Tokugawa Koji as our first employee."

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "There are three reasons. First, he's Japanese, so we don't feel burdened by setting harsh conditions. Second, he seems to have a certain sense of contractual responsibility; at least the money given to Uncle Wang has been transferred. Third, he's not even in the same country as us, so collecting emotional crystals won't affect us."

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "Hey guys, why aren't you saying anything? I'm so bored, come chat with me."

Du Yu (Jiang He): "It's a bit too early to be considering this now. We haven't paid off our debts yet, but if you're planning to target Tokugawa Koji, you still have plenty of time. You can do more research before then."

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "Alright, after all, the Japanese are known for their small courtesy but lack of righteousness. Currently, it seems the Mountain and Sea Realm is extremely unfriendly to a supporting character like him who doesn't have a divine beast inheritance. I think we should just turn him into a super miner. Anyway, he knows the value of emotional crystals, so he'll definitely agree."

Bai Ze (Su Fan): "As expected of you! If Luo Jiuchuan is providing us with tools but demands 10% of the revenue, you're practically planning to go straight to slavery!"

Su Fan was really starting to lose his composure; Chen Yang seemed to be acting inhumanely. Even when he himself was impersonating Luo Jiuchuan, he only charged 10% of the results and tools.

Chen Yang truly surpasses his teacher.

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "Brother Su, I don't agree with what you said! What are we? Inheritors of divine beasts! Luo Jiuchuan is an investor in us, but what about Tokugawa Koji? This kind of supporting character is just an NPC. If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm! He's a Japanese, a barbarian who's not even as good as a dog. We're willing to give him a chance, what else can he do but be grateful?"

Bookworm (Jiang He): "I can accept that we'll use Tokugawa Koji as our first test subject, but Chen Yang, you can't be even scarier than Nine Outs and Thirteen Returns, planning to devour him whole, bones and all!"

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "Brother Su, Sister Jiang, you two have some high moral standards! We are the darlings of the world, destined to embark on an extraordinary path of greatness. The road to the strong is always paved with countless corpses. One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand!"

Bi Xi (Wang Jianguo): "As the old saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a person. Pushing someone too far is never a good thing. Our matter with Senior Luo is based on a contract, and Senior Luo might actually come to our aid. But if you push someone too far, the worst that can happen is that they die, or they simply refuse to fulfill their obligations. What can you do then?"

Bookworm (Jiang He): "You can't change other people's thoughts. No matter what you think, if you say or do something and I don't agree with it, I will distance myself from it and show that it was just your personal opinion."

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "I was just saying that casually, don't worry! I know my limits, I know some things can only be said in the group, I won't say anything indiscriminately. Rest assured, those who don't plan for the long term can't plan for the short term, I understand the difference between draining the pond to catch all the fish and sustainability."

Bai Ze (Su Fan): "Does everyone remember when Tokugawa Koji said that without the inheritance of divine beasts, he couldn't collect emotional crystals and was therefore inferior? At that time, Yingzhao struck him with a bolt of lightning, but he didn't admit it."

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "I remember, how could I not remember? That lightning was quite accurate, it only struck him, while the flowers and plants were spared from the disaster."

Bixie (Wang Jianguo): "Xiao Su, what do you mean by that? So what if you didn't admit it?"

Silverfish (Jiang He): "You mean even without the inheritance of divine beasts, there might still be a way to collect emotional crystals, instead of relying solely on us?"

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "Brother Su, your thinking is wrong! Back then, Luo Jiuchuan was so arrogant, but he clearly stated that the other party didn't even have the qualifications to trade with him."

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "To continuously obtain Emotion Crystals, you need tools to collect them. The simplest way to get tools is to exchange them directly on the Mountain and Sea Wonders Ranking on Bright Island. But exchanging them on the Mountain and Sea Wonders Ranking on Bright Island requires Emotion Crystals. Isn't this a vicious cycle? Even Luo Jiuchuan, who can provide loans, is unwilling to lend money, so how can he break out of this cycle?"

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "Whether Luo Jiuchuan invested in us because he valued our potential or because he valued our future income, we were the ones who broke the cycle. I really can't figure out how Tokugawa Koji broke the deadlock."

Silverfish (Jiang He): "Chen Yang, your deduction is reasonable, but it's only based on what we know. Do we really understand the Mountain and Sea Realm right now?!"

Silverfish (Jiang He): "Remember when we traded with Luo Jiuchuan? Luo Jiuchuan said that he thought at most one or two of us had divine beast inheritances. It's clear that divine beast inheritances aren't commonplace, at least not in Luo Jiuchuan's eyes."

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "Sister Jiang, what do you mean by that? I don't understand."

Bookworm (Jiang He): "What I mean is, if you can't collect emotional crystals without obtaining the divine beast inheritance, then those who entered the Mountain and Sea Realm earlier than us without obtaining the divine beast inheritance should be stuck on the End Island, unable to leave. After all, going to other places costs money, but besides us and Grandpa Li Bowen, have we seen anyone else on the End Island?"

Silverfish (Jiang He): "No! Does that mean those who entered the Mountain and Sea Realm before us and didn't obtain the divine beast inheritance have also left the End Island? Maybe those in the Mountain and Sea Realm without divine beast inheritance can still obtain emotional crystals, but we just don't know it yet?"
