Chapter 1701 - 948

The Upper Cultivator continued to send messages: "Act immediately! How much money do you have in your pocket? How much loss can you incur by burning it all? Or should I do it instead?"

"Do you not want to work anymore? Then I’ll immediately transfer you to another position. How about the 18th underground floor?"

Upon hearing these words, Wan Wuyi’s heart sank. He had to spend his own savings to pay overtime wages to the employees, compelling them to work overtime.

Feeling the Immortal Coins rapidly leaving his possession and flowing into the employees’ hands, only to be extracted by "paid overtime" and dispersed throughout the sect like a drop of water into the sea, disappearing in an instant, Wan Wuyi felt as if his heart was bleeding.

"Beast! Zhang Yu, that beast!"

Watching his savings continually evaporate, Wan Wuyi grew even more anxious and immediately descended into the Inner Wall Small Realm.

With his ability, during the short time he descended, he collected more information, learning that Zhang Yu’s recent True Domain of Laws change... had affected more than just his company.

"The companies he invited earlier were all affected."

"This guy is doing it on purpose, deliberately using this move to force us here."

Realizing this, Wan Wuyi instantly contacted others to form a new small group.

Bu Aixian from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Clan spoke in the group: What is Zhang Yu trying to do? Casually changing the scope of the Law Chains, is he trying to threaten us? It’s blatant extortion!

Wang Guanyao from the Law Realm loan platform also said: Fellows, when we talk to him this time, we must advance and retreat together, not easily compromise with him.

At the same time, Zhang Yu’s actions were like a storm within the 16th floor, immediately attracting attention from all sides.

Snake Desire Venerable, witnessing this scene, was also shocked: "This Zhang Yu... his courage is too great. How many people? How many companies is he going to offend at once?"

Snake Desire Venerable certainly couldn’t believe Zhang Yu was doing it for some Lower Cultivator. In his view, it was an all-out push for legal reform.

He thought to himself: "It’s too chaotic. Doing it like this... one wrong move could trigger even greater turmoil. I’m afraid Zhang Yu will be taken down immediately."

Thinking this, Snake Desire Venerable began to monitor comprehensively, planning to fan the flames and increase the chances of Zhang Yu’s failure at any moment.

Meanwhile, many employees and Lower Cultivators also noticed this.

"Are they really fighting?"

"Quickly look, Zhang Yu started a live broadcast!"

"The company representatives have arrived!"

...

In the conference hall of the Inner Wall Small Realm.

Wan Wuyi and others descended one after another, immediately seeing Zhang Yu seated at the main position.

A terrifying pressure was released from the projections of several people, sweeping across the entire Small Realm, oppressing every Cultivator so much that they couldn’t lift their heads.

Bu Aixian shouted: "Zhang Yu, do you know what kind of disaster you caused by recklessly moving the True Domain of Laws? How much loss has it caused?"

"Restore the True Domain immediately, and I might hold you accountable a bit less."

Faced with Bu Aixian’s threat, Zhang Yu remained unmoved, stating: "Everyone, the reason for inviting you here today is precisely to quickly quell the turmoil within the 16th floor."

"I hope everyone can cooperate a bit, help me reduce the daily overtime hours."

With a flick of his finger, Zhang Yu had already sent Wan Wuyi and others a number.

From 8 hours, to 10 hours, and then to 12 hours, Zhang Yu set the daily work hour limit for each person according to different companies, industries, positions, and operational situations.

Seeing the number 12 hours, Wan Wuyi immediately frowned.

His gambling business spanned several sects, with operations in the Wanjinxuan Realm requiring the employment of a large number of Cultivators, incurring significant labor costs.

The past "4-hour work" and "paid overtime" restrictions forced him to hire a large workforce and distribute them over 24 hours to keep the operations running.

Now he’s finally able to have people work 24 hours, having already cut many staff, saving a considerable amount on labor costs. In Wan Wuyi’s view, Zhang Yu’s so-called work hour limit is snatching his money.

Zhang Yu said calmly: "I’ve given everyone the number, who is in favor and who is against?"

Wan Wuyi shouted: "I object! My gambling company operates 24 hours, and one person can work a maximum of 12 hours? What about the remaining 12 hours? Am I supposed to shut down the operations?"

Zhang Yu remarked: "Then hire another batch to work for another 12 hours."

Wan Wuyi sneered: "With one sentence, you want my labor cost to double? How can the business be done?"

Zhang Yu replied: "If you don’t do it, others will. Previously, with a 4-hour work limit and paid overtime, employees could only bear limited overtime pay, and your company’s average work time was 10 hours."

"It worked back then, now with 12 hours, it won’t work?"

Wan Wuyi was unwilling to give back the money he had obtained, let alone him, the leadership up and down the company, who among them would be willing?

On the other side, Wang Guanyao also disagreed, as her data center was linked to a massive amount of Law Realm loan business, needing constant supervision. Having reduced labor costs this time, how could she give it back?

Especially the Law Realm services, in Wang Guanyao’s view, were the business of the Immortal Emperor, who’d dare to take money from the Immortal Emperor’s pocket?

You heard Wang Guanyao shout: "Zhang Yu! Do you know whose business the Law Realm services belong to? I advise you not to act against the tide."
