In the conference room on the seventh floor of the hotel, Little Black, an elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, stared at the current competition rankings and kept stroking his chin, humming, "Hmm..."
Around him, the producers from several other Dreamscapes had gathered together, unconsciously holding their breaths.
There was Nightmare Realm in first place, Food and Desire Are Human Nature in second, Do Not Speak While Eating in third, Romantic Food Truck in fourth, followed by Great Qian Inn, Legend of the Meat Wrap, and Wandering Kitchen.
Only eight Dreamscapes were still competing. Apart from the last-place My Unemployment Life, every other project team had been recruited by the black elder and become members of his new project group.
He did not understand Dreamscapes. He could not tell the difference between Nightmare Realm and Wandering Kitchen, but he knew how to spend money.
Under his financial offensive, he had skillfully pushed Nightmare Realm into first place and let the other Dreamscapes seize the remaining ranks, keeping Chen Yu's Dreamscape firmly in last place.
This way, the other side would not even get a pitiful amount of organic traffic, and there would be no suspense left in the competition.
He was targeting Chen Yu so fiercely partly to get Sweet Dreams Candy approved, but also because of Chen Yu himself.
When killing someone, one had to break their spirit first.
The Heavenly Demon Seed inside Chen Yu had yet to hatch, which made him somewhat restless.
Striking at the other party would help breed a Heart Demon, catalyze the Heavenly Demon Seed, and allow Chen Yu to undergo Demonic Corruption as soon as possible, becoming part of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Only by joining the sect could Chen Yu learn of the Heavenly Demon's splendor and the Star Lord's hypocrisy.
