Chapter 208
After surviving the perilous plot kill, Shen Ying's life became much easier.
First of all, she was already the largest shareholder of the game. According to the game's old management system, she directly had the right to vote for appointment and removal.
After kicking out a bunch of people, of course, all the employees in the game behaved themselves.
However, Shen Ying didn't rush to take over the game. Instead, she leisurely spent time in the cultivation world.
This world was of a high level. Powerful beings like the Demon Lord could change the world and shatter the void effortlessly.
She had to reach the same or even higher level, maintain such soul strength and skills to take over the game, so as to deal with those invisible risks.
As she knew, there was more than one game, and the competitiveness of the game she was in was not even on the list.
Secondly, compared with the interstellar era, this world was no less exciting. She had to shuttle between the two, ease the relationship with her brothers, and also take care of the junior brothers and sisters of the Hehuan Sect.
She also had to pay attention to the equal - rights public welfare cause of the lovely spiritual cultivators of the demon race. Her life was fulfilling and free.
It was just that Ji Liantan and Ye Qingchen were not very happy. They had a big dispute over whether Shen Ying was a disciple of the Xuanji Sect or the Hehuan Sect.
Ye Peak Master and the Demon Lord had both prepared rich dowries for their sons. If it weren't against public order and good customs, Shen Ying would have held a wedding on each side.
Of course, Ye Peak Master and the Demon Lord were initially dissatisfied with their chaotic relationship. But finally, they reluctantly realized that only with Shen Ying mediating in the middle could their two sons avoid fighting to the death. In the end, they could only turn a blind eye.
As for Lian Ying, her nominal master's dream of becoming an original superstar, Shen Ying didn't forget it either.
She used cultivation techniques to create a modern entertainment industry and completed the transformation of the Hehuan Sect's industry.
Many young disciples of the Hehuan Sect became popular idols. Not to mention other sects in the demonic path, even many people from the righteous path switched to the Hehuan Sect.
After all, everyone knew that they could earn a lot. As long as they had a good - looking face, they no longer had to fight to the death for some cultivation resources like before.
There was an old rumor in the streets that Shen Ying, the godmother of this industry, had used improper means, and even her master, Lian Ying, was not spared.
Shen Ying didn't respond to this.
After an unknown number of years, so long that Shen Ying's cultivation was so high that she could directly break through the game space instead of using her boss authority to enter.
So long that she ranked among the top in terms of combat power among all game players. Her sudden rise even attracted long - awaited attention and jealous looks for the whole game.
Fortunately, the time in the task world could be infinitely compressed, so Shen Ying didn't waste too much time.
When she returned to the game space, the people she had driven away had just vacated the office.
Some people still wanted to cause trouble because of their seniority at first, but when they saw her cultivation, they quickly left.
After Shen Ying took over the game, she integrated all the worlds, revised the game rules and the player screening system.
By the way, she inspected some worlds that seemed improper and challenged public order and good customs, which would be convenient for future rectification.
Shen Ying gave the employees extremely high treatment and a lot of freedom, and she spent less time in the game space herself.
On the contrary, the game came back to life and developed vigorously. Finally, it became one of the well - known games.
It's just that she didn't have much in common with most game main gods. Instead, she had the best relationship with the horror game.
Mainly, that organization recruited a lot of capable people and was just as pretentious as her. It was really a match made in heaven with Shen Ying.
One day when the two of them were basking in the sun and munching on sunflower seeds, the horror game suddenly said, "Oh, right. Since you're not a natural main god, have you dealt with your real - world identity?"
Since signing the game contract, Shen Ying had been having so much fun that she didn't think about such things at all.
So she said, "Does that stuff need to be dealt with?"
The horror game rolled over and wagged its tail, saying, "You're being naive here. Your game used to be just a makeshift operation. Different from our well - established big game, it not only forced players to sign up but also mostly didn't handle the players' real - world aftermath properly.
"If it's even more unscrupulous, it can act as a middleman, using the soulless bodies as a rebirth path for others and reaping merits."
"Anyway, don't take it lightly. If you're dead, it's okay. But you don't want someone to possess your body and do all sorts of messy things, leaving you with an extra black mark in the game circle, do you?"
Shen Ying thought it made sense. After all, she was going through a major life transition at that time, and her situation wasn't clear - cut.
So she stopped munching sunflower seeds with the horror game, turned around, and left the game space, returning to her real - world body.
As soon as she came back, she felt the sea breeze blowing. In front of her was a beautiful sea view, and she was in a charming private island vacation villa.
Besides her, there were several handsome men and beautiful women around. They all had great figures and good looks, and they were all foreigners.
Most of them were white, two were black, and one was of Latin - American descent. She was the only Asian.
Shen Ying thought to herself that she was doing quite well.
When she entered the game, she had indeed come to the United States alone. At that time, she had no specific destination and didn't have much money on her.
Unexpectedly, before running out of travel funds and going back, she was living a life surrounded by beautiful people.
The five men and five women present were no pushovers. Obviously, they were all veterans in the dating game and showed strong interest in the opposite sex in front of them.
With ten people, the amorous glances they exchanged were enough to weave a spider's web.
When everyone picked up their glasses to greet and flirt with each other, an egg - shaped robot in the middle of the sofa made a sound.
First, it welcomed these beautiful people. During the conversation, Shen Ying learned that she was now in a dating reality show.
European and American dating shows are always known for their explicit content. Shen Ying was now free - spirited and didn't have to care about her family's opinions.
Just when everyone, including her, thought they were going to enter a perfect dating paradise, the intelligent voice announced the rules.
The guests selected by the program group were all real - life playboys and playgirls who loved love. What they had to do was to abstain from all romantic and sexual activities for a month, resist all temptations. If they could do it, they could get a hundred thousand US dollars.
If someone broke the abstinence during the period, the bonus would be deducted according to the severity, and all the guests would be punished together.
This rule made the beautiful people around panic, and they each made their own choices in the end.
Shen Ying didn't care. She wasn't short of money and had nothing to do.
It wouldn't hurt to have some fun here.
She first took a fancy to a blond - haired handsome guy. His hair was a bit long and casually pushed back.
He had a sweet smile and looked a bit shy, but his body language was full of a sense of indulgence. He seemed easy to get close to.
The other person was obviously very interested in Shen Ying. After leaving the beach, Shen Ying just gave a look and the guy followed.
The blond hunk said, "You know I'm a rule - abider. I've decided to take the one hundred thousand US dollars, so during this period, I don't plan to have any intimate contact with any woman."
Shen Ying touched his well - defined muscles. She had seen too many of these duplicitous and promiscuous men.
Just as she was about to speak, the director, who shouldn't have been there, showed up with a staff member.
The director called Shen Ying over and whispered a few words. Shen Ying frowned and said helplessly, "Come on, you're an American team, filming on American soil."
"Show your overbearing and shameless attitude. Why did you give in?"
Director: "Sorry, it was personally instructed by Mr. Pierce. It seems that your family has many high - ranking and influential friends in the United States."
Shen Ying was helpless. She didn't want to make things difficult for a small dating show production team.
So she said, "At least give me some time to say goodbye."
Director: "Go ahead."
Shen Ying went back to the blond guy. Ignoring his confused look, she grabbed the back of his head and pulled him down for a kiss.
Sure enough, this guy had just put on an act of "I'm after the money, don't tempt me".
But now he let loose and said, "A kiss only incurs one penalty, right? Then let's continue."
But at this moment, Shen Ying pushed him away. How could she waste time on just one person?
There were still nine beauties to say goodbye to. As a result, none of the male and female guests escaped her clutches.
One of the curvy beauties even asked Shen Ying for her phone number.
Although there were no communication devices allowed here, she still decided to memorize the number.
When it came to the final settlement, Shen Ying caused the whole group to be deducted thirty thousand dollars. But if it really went like that, the show couldn't go on.
So the production team quickly found someone to replace her overnight and reshot the segments that Shen Ying had originally filmed.
And Shen Ying got on the helicopter that had come to pick her up and left this island full of lust and desire.
A few hours later, Shen Ying landed on the rooftop helipad of a hotel. There was someone waiting for her downstairs.
The person had long hair, fair skin, and looked like an otherworldly being with an elegant and refined temperament.
He looked somewhat similar to Shen Ying. No one would doubt that they were siblings.
Seeing Shen Ying getting off the helicopter, the person said, "Is this how you disgrace the family?"
When Shen Ying saw him, there was a puff of anger in her heart, but it quickly dissipated. Time had taken away her unwillingness and obsession.
After years of slacking off, she had really let it go. At this time, seeing Shen Ju, she didn't have that kind of paranoid thought of wishing he had never existed.
So she smiled and said casually, "In terms of disgracing the family, I'm not even one - ten - thousandth as bad as you."
Hearing this, Shen Ju didn't deny it at all.
Instead, he calmly said, "I used an alias when I did such things."
Shen Ying: "..."
Then he looked at Shen Ying with a look of frustration and said, "Haven't you ever thought about getting a fake identity? It's so obvious that I can't even pretend not to see it."
"Actually, I'm quite looking forward to the broadcast of the show you participated in. It'll piss off those old farts at home."
Shen Ying actually agreed with him. Who had this body been entrusted to before? Why didn't they go through this process?
