Chapter 1700 - 948

"Endure the loss of short-term benefits and pursue the growth of long-term gains. If he doesn’t have even this bit of magnanimity, he cannot become the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor."

As he spoke, Zhang Yu’s mind stirred, and a light screen appeared before him, displaying the current spread of his True Domain of Laws.

"Everyone, the real overtime is about to begin."

Zhang Yu pointed forward, as if throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing the Immortal Qi hidden in the atmosphere to undergo intense changes.

In this instant, countless cultivators above the Refining Void level on the 16th floor all turned to the direction of Zhang Yu, faintly sensing some change occurring.

Simultaneously, the light screen in front of Zhang Yu showed a drastic change in the range of his True Domain of Laws.

Originally frozen due to the spread of the ’Effective Period of Laws,’ the areas of ’Four-hour Work’ and ’Paid Overtime’ suddenly contracted from Zhang Yu’s True Domain of Laws.

As Zhang Yu’s True Domain of Laws contracted, the previously frozen ’Four-hour Work’ and ’Paid Overtime’... remarkably resumed operation.

Fu Ji, observing this scene, thought inwardly, "Originally, due to the Law Freeze, the areas within Zhang Yu’s True Domain of Laws have already started insane overtime and layoffs."

"If the laws are frozen, then this doesn’t count for much."

"But now with the laws retracting, once ’Four-hour Work’ and ’Paid Overtime’ resume operation, the people inside will have to immediately pay for overtime."

"And now, it’s afternoon. In this area, people have already been working over 4 hours, at least 7-8 hours, and some have worked over 12 hours today. How much is the overtime fee going to cost if they continue?"

In this moment, Fu Ji seemed to see a flood of Spirit Realm and Law Realm information rushing towards her, transforming into numerous paid overtime notices, surging like a tsunami towards the office buildings.

...

In the Wanjinxuan Realm.

The projection of Wan Wuyi, the head of the gambling company, descended forcefully.

"What’s going on?! Why has everything stopped working?!"

Every second of stoppage in the gambling business results in countless Immortal Coin losses, enough to make Wan Wuyi furious.

This change made Wan Wuyi feel as though he had been punched, like he was going to cough up blood.

In his eyes, new calculations of lost Immortal Coins jumped out every moment, making him feel worse than vomiting blood.

Especially as the business suddenly collapsed, the stock price is about to be affected.

When his will swept across the Spirit Realm and Law Realm, sensing the entire scene and collecting information, he immediately understood what happened.

"Zhang Yu... This guy actually contracted his True Domain of Laws? Reactivated the previously frozen ’4-hour work’ and ’Paid Overtime’?"

"These lower cultivators, why can’t they just pay some more overtime fees? Why won’t they pay? Why do they stop working!"

A subordinate reported: "Taoist Lord! They’ve already been working extra long hours today. If they continue overtime... they’ll pay too much, exceeding their daily income making them lose money by working."

"And now they don’t even know... if this is going to happen every day from now on, so they don’t dare to pay to work anymore."

Wan Wuyi snorted: "A bunch of paupers, so little money in their pockets. For the company and the sect, what’s wrong with taking some out? Can it cause much damage? Can it lose as much money as the company stopping operations?"

A subordinate urged: "Taoist Lord! Business is stopping, more and more customers are leaving the platform!"

The numbers of fleeing people appeared in front of Wan Wuyi, increasing, making his heart race.

Simultaneously, higher-level cultivators sent messages to Wan Wuyi: "Wan Wuyi! What’s happening? Why is the company stopping?"

Various interrogating messages rushed in, and Wan Wuyi urgently found Kuang Zhiquan: "What are you doing? Why has Zhang Yu’s law domain range changed? How are you cooperating?"

Kuang Zhiquan said: "It’s a law trial, Lord Zhang said to conduct some law experiments to verify their effectiveness, so he can write a report for the committee..."

Wan Wuyi quickly said: "Don’t tell me this, immediately have Zhang Yu change the laws back! Do you know how many Immortal Coins the platform loses every second now?"

Looking at the still jumping number of lost users, seeing a series of messages of higher cultivators questioning him, at this moment... Wan Wuyi felt as if a thousand knives and swords were piercing his back, causing him to feel a prickly sensation everywhere. And as if a thousand Yang Artifacts were pressing against his front, making him feel intense pressure.

Kuang Zhiquan said: "Lord Zhang is in a meeting, currently unreachable."

Wan Wuyi: "What meeting?"

Kuang Zhiquan: "It’s that... the meeting about work hours."

Wan Wuyi’s face turned cold, saying: "Where is it?"

Kuang Zhiquan: "The office of the Practical Effects Department, in the Inner Wall Small Realm granted to Zhang Yu... But, didn’t you say you wouldn’t attend?"

Wan Wuyi sneered: "Kuang Zhiquan, when this is over, I’ll settle the accounts with you all together."

With that, Wan Wuyi’s projection dissipated abruptly, his will already sweeping across the Spirit Realm, heading towards the Inner Wall Small Realm.

As the stoppage time lengthened, the messages from the higher cultivators became increasingly severe.

Finally, one message shook Wan Wuyi’s heart, making it beat furiously.

"Wan Wuyi! You cover the employees’ overtime fees first, get the platform up and running."

"Me?" Wan Wuyi roared in his heart: "Why? Why use my money to fill the gap?"
