Chapter 1691 - 945: Recruiting Special Talent from the Lower Realm

Especially on the 16th floor, many cultivators with strong work abilities have been closely monitoring Zhang Yu’s actions.

Upon realizing Zhang Yu’s expansion speed is continuously accelerating and getting closer to them, they also expressed concerns in the Spirit Realm and Law Realm, showing non-support... and even opposition.

The emergence of the opposition immediately caught the attention of the supporters.

Some supporters cursed, "So many cultivators in the sect have suffered under these two beastly laws for so long, how can you oppose them?"

Someone from the opposition said, "What does it matter to us?"

"You useless bunch can’t complete your work in 4 hours each day and constantly need to pay overtime. It’s obviously beneficial for you to change it this way. But for those of us with strong work abilities, we could finish work in 4 hours, now stretched to 8 hours? This forcefully increases our working hours; it’s stealing our time!"

Someone among the supporters argued, "With more time, if you can do more, do more for the sect! What’s wrong with working more for the company?"

Someone in the opposition angrily retorted, "Fools! Why won’t you pay more overtime for the sect and the company?"

"Is that the same?"

It can be said that as Zhang Yu’s True Domain of Laws continued to expand, more and more cultivators were dragged in, and the arguments between supporters and opponents grew increasingly severe, with the intensity soaring.

And gradually... as more and more companies adapted to the new situation, new changes emerged.

Someone complained, "Work keeps increasing every day, and you can’t finish it in 8 hours, so you have to work overtime."

Someone consoled, "At least you don’t need to pay anymore."

Someone calculated, "The extra time I spend working overtime now, compared to paying overtime before... is still worth it."

Countless pieces of information appeared before Snake Desire Venerable, his will traversing the Spirit Realm and Law Realm, constantly observing the shifts in the intentions of the billions within the 16th floor.

And for the subtle changes within, Snake Desire Venerable was the first to notice.

"Hehe... the situation is starting to reverse."

"Like free overtime? Then let’s overtime as much as you like."

"These foolish lower cultivators never understand, ’Four-hour workday’ and ’Paid overtime’ not only protect the company but also protect them, at least allowing them to have some time of their own each day."

In Snake Desire Venerable’s perception, without the restrictions of the two major laws, companies become like beasts free of chains, starting to continuously increase employee workloads, incessantly consuming the employees’ time.

Initially, employees found the sudden extension to 8-hour workdays made the workload easier.

But soon, employees discovered that 8 hours became insufficient to complete their work, requiring overtime to 10 hours... 12 hours... 14 hours...

Snake Desire Venerable thought to himself, "Without the chains, companies will devour every minute of your time."

At this moment, Snake Desire Venerable seemed to see lower cultivators being assigned work cards, granted tasks by the Spirit Realm and Law Realm, manipulated like puppets by the hands of leaders.

In the dense timesheet data, Snake Desire Venerable saw lower cultivators’ time and lifespan consumed along the Spirit Realm and Law Realm, becoming the fuel pushing companies forward.

One company extends to 14 hours, another to 16 hours...

A leader said, "See the office building across? If they don’t stop working, neither do we!"

A superior mentioned, "Why can they work 18 hours? Overtime fees aren’t being collected from you anymore, and you still can’t manage? Did I give too few tasks?"

Some companies began promoting new policies, saying, "I’ve locked the company’s entrance. To save commuting time, it’s advised from today that everyone remains physically within the company."

Seeing these rapidly accelerating changes, Snake Desire Venerable sighed, "What a grand scene of prosperity in the flames. Lower cultivators in the sect should indeed work harder."

He chuckled softly, seemingly seeing bundles of burning logs... sparking, needing only a catalyst... to ignite Zhang Yu, the source.

A few days later, Snake Desire Venerable’s gaze suddenly sharpened, "It’s here!"

His will moved, and the myriad pieces of information he had been browsing silently disappeared, leaving only one video, enlarged and repeatedly playing before him.

And the video content showed a cultivator beginning days of 24-hour work and overtime.

Snake Desire Venerable understood this was the catalyst he had been waiting for.

"Temporary worker descendants! Come out for me!"

With a twist of the mana within Snake Desire Venerable’s body, he opened his mouth to breed thousands of snake demons.

These snake demons inherited a portion of his essence blood and mana, possessing certain intellect and cultivation, becoming his temporary workers to complete various tasks for him.

And once the mana is exhausted, these little snake demons will die one by one and be reabsorbed by Snake Desire Venerable.

Their specific lifespan is the time Snake Desire Venerable needs to use temporary workers each time.

This is a temporary worker Taoist skill that many higher demon descendants within the sect excel at, instant use, used and immediately dead, requiring no wage cost, only the basic breeding cost.

Snake Emperor’s spat-out snakes have logged onto the Spirit Realm, already beginning to spread the video of 24-hour work.

Simultaneously, Snake Desire Venerable flicked his tail, and countless snake-form soul cultivators surged out in the Spirit Realm.

These soul cultivators were personally bred and slain by Snake Desire Venerable, each owing him a lifetime debt, equivalent to his loyal army within the Spirit Realm.
