Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

```

Happiness came so swiftly that Zhuge Caihua's hands were trembling, and her face was even redder.

Zhuge Caihua could imagine how many people were green with envy at this moment.

She was the forum administrator and could see all kinds of data from the backend. Many people were too embarrassed to contact Meng Yu openly, but they could chat privately. At this moment, the number of private messages in Meng Yu's inbox was skyrocketing.

There must be many of her good friends, besties!

"Cough cough, don't rush, don't rush, don't be so enthusiastic, I haven't finished speaking yet..."

Meng Yu's new reply had arrived, seemingly overwhelmed by everyone's enthusiasm.

"Everyone, what I said was that if my research succeeds, not that I can guarantee anything now. The Son of Heavenly Way project is my brainchild, and there are bound to be many problems within. If these issues aren't resolved, then Zhuge Caihua will end up with egg on her face and a substantial financial loss.

So, don't rush. Let me organize my thoughts and words.

I'm writing some stuff; once it's ready, I'll post it on the forum. When I do, please help review it, because maybe my idea is flawed right from the start...

Right, I need to go offline for a bit. I'll be back online later. The software I'm using can hide my personal address, but a friend told me it's best not to stay online in one place for more than two hours. I'll change my location to avoid being tracked.

Wait for me to come online tomorrow. After all, safety first. Also, about the private messages and emails you sent me, especially emails, I dare not open them, fearing they might contain viruses or something. I'm really sorry."

Then, Meng Yu made an apologetic gesture and logged off.

However, the buzz Meng Yu created tonight didn't subside at all.

"Aww, this guy is really something."

A woman of stunning beauty with and elegant demeanor stood beside Zhuge Caihua.

Immortal Sect Five Flowers, Tao Hua is the most fragrant, and Pear Blossom is the most, ahem, the most cunning.

Master Lihua, hugging her little disciple by the neck affectionately, was happily browsing through Meng Yu and Zhuge Caihua's... um, to make a strict clarification, the Immortal Sect Five Flowers referred to the five Wood System Golden Core Female True Masters—Tao Hua, Pear Blossom, Apricot Blossom, Daffodil, and Peony—each a high-end Jindan battle force alongside the Six Beasts, Seven Avian, and others. Just because Caihua's name contains "hua (flower)," it doesn't mean she is one of the Immortal Sect Five Flowers; she can only be considered a little flower.

"My, my, what a stingy man, actually wanting Caihua to invest and take on the risk, then when he achieves Foundation Establishment, Caihua can only cry as she's taken advantage of, watching his even more promising future unfold, by which time, he'll find a Foundation Establishment, or even Golden Core girlfriend..."

She chuckled as she watched the scene in front of her, then with great generosity, she declared,

"How about it? I'll cover all the expenses!"

"No way."

Zhuge Caihua shook her head fiercely. Does her master think she's an idiot?

"Master, help me mortgage all my assets..."

She said this while giving her master a disdainful glance, then turned up the volume of her messaging software. The sounds of unanswered messages and calls flooded in like a deluge.

"Caihua, I have some spare cash."

"Caihua, my uncle works in xx, and I'll go to him today. I'll press his hand until he sorts it out."

"Caihua, my dear sister, please help out. My mentor says you can have as much funding as you need, we even have a fleet at our disposal..."

One after another, phone calls came through, and a great many people reached out to offer their warm regards—not all of them were students from the 10008 group! Enjoy new tales from empire

"Xiao Caihua is getting smart. That's good. You need to get a good sense of measure. Don't take a single penny from outside, and mortgage all your assets. Give Meng Yu as much as he needs.

As for the Changdong Minor World matter, I'll help you run it. Try not to rely on connections."

"The officials should be able to approve it, right?"

"Officials, which officials? We are the officials!"

Master Lihua patted her foolish disciple's shoulder and shook her head, "Has Mirror Twelve hanged himself? Has Wang Qi'nian been flayed? Has Liu Feiyang been executed?

If these people haven't died, why can't we make accommodations?

We must abide by the law and reason. What's so difficult about buying a planet?"

"Master, do you think Meng Yu's concept can succeed?"

"It can't."

Master Lihua stated emphatically.

"A concept remains a concept because it's hard to achieve, let alone the basic research like Foundation Establishment. Do you know how much the Immortal Sect has invested in Foundation Establishment research over the past ten thousand years?

Countless great talents, countless researchers have spent endless effort, and in the end, only several different Foundation Establishment paths were developed. Meng Yu's path has also been researched by many, with massive amounts of funds invested, but it has failed time and time again, pronounced utterly unfeasible."

"So..."

"When a man is excited, don't dampen his enthusiasm. It's just buying a planet and then investing a few hundred million, or even tens or hundreds of billions for renovation. If the money is wasted and it makes him happy, what's wrong with that?

That's no way to handle a man.

You might lose everything, and that doesn't matter. Money can be earned back, but once you find a suitable man, you must hold onto him.

A woman's beauty lies in her unwavering foolishness. However Meng Yu wants to play, you play along. Don't fear being deceived. At worst, you return crying and pregnant, but even then, we win. Meng Yu's child, ah, such a genius. His baby must be very amusing!"

Master Lihua, excitedly said, "If someone insists on joining, just push it onto me and say it was my idea."

This naive girl, I really hope you'll be fooled and taken advantage of, then come back having birthed several children, sigh.

She didn't think Meng Yu could succeed. Which young person doesn't have a head full of fantasies, hoping to discover some secret? Today it's Foundation Establishment; tomorrow, it's the Golden Core.

Meng Yu might be different from others, possessing great inspiration, but Master Lihua knew it took countless rounds of venture capital to turn inspiration into reality!

Hmm? This matter is still workable. Why not speculate on Meng Yu's concept stocks in the financial market?

The next day, Meng Yu logged on as scheduled and posted a series of drawings and plans on the forum.

These were handpicked by Bai Qianqian.

Meng Yu downloaded a wealth of Immortal Sect's foundational Formation and Foundation Establishment knowledge and handed them over to Bai Qianqian. Bai Qianqian, although not good at fighting and an expert at eating, was actually a master of Formations and Talismans. She joyfully studied new knowledge and, after half a year of earnest research, she came up with the Jade Rabbit project's ppt.

Even though Meng Yu couldn't understand it well, he felt somewhat apprehensive.
