Chapter 392: Chapter 10: The Darkest Future

As the first Servant of the Double Rest Sect, Niu Xiangui offered numerous valuable suggestions for the reception work in the initial phase of transmigration, based on his own experiences.

Li Yu, of course, wouldn’t let him toil in vain and, after asking, gave him a bar of soap, a toothbrush, two tubes of toothpaste, and a towel as a reward.

All these items were common brands and styles found in the market and amounted to less than twenty-five yuan in total.

But when Niu Xiangui saw them, his eyes lit up!

Before his reincarnation on the Bratis Continent, he had never imagined that these insignificant, ubiquitous items could have such a significant impact on daily life.

Niu Xiangui had been brushing his teeth with a twig for a week already.

This technique he had learned from the local natives, and even then, it was an imperfect imitation at first.

Niu Xiangui would simply pick up any twig off the ground and shove it into his mouth, practically making miracles happen through sheer force.

It was only when he saw an old lizardman one morning at the village entrance biting the bottom of the twig to soften it and expose the soft fibers within that it resembled a toothbrush.

After observing this, Niu Xiangui felt as if he had an epiphany, no less thrilling than when Young Hero Linghu encountered Elder Feng on the Cliff of Reflections and was taught the Dugu Nine Sword technique.

Furthermore, he even conducted his own research and gradually determined which diameter and type of wood made the best twigs for brushes.

Apart from the wild toothbrushes, Niu Xiangui also looked for alternatives to toothpaste.

For instance, salt and charcoal; moreover, he noticed that some locals chewed cloves to keep their breath fresh.

However, cloves were not very common in Green Field, and Niu Xiangui even asked Clara about this, who said that the cloves were mainly imported from the south and were quite expensive.

Currently, Niu Xiangui was still in the training phase of his job, receiving only one silver coin a month as a stipend. If he were to buy them, he could only afford about a dozen, but spending his money on this did not seem very wise.

In any case, Niu Xiangui really put effort into resolving his personal hygiene issues, but unfortunately, these alternative solutions still did not work as well as the original ones.

As soon as Niu Xiangui received his prizes, he tucked them into his chest like someone who had just withdrawn his year-end bonus from an ATM.

Then, he looked eagerly at Li Yu, full of hope and said, "Prophet Merlin, when I earn some money in the future, will I be able to buy other things from you?"

"Well, although I can travel between different planes, there’s a weight limit to what I can bring each time," Li Yu’s words were like a cold shower for Niu Xiangui, instantly chilling his heart.

Just when Niu Xiangui thought Li Yu would refuse him, Li Yu’s tone shifted again.

"Of course, I understand your needs in this area. In the future, I will set up a special store for transmigrators, stocking some products unique to Earth."

This was actually something Li Yu had been considering from an early stage. Bringing people here was just the first step; the real challenge was ensuring the loyalty of transmigrators, organizing talents from various industries, and contributing to the development of the Double Rest Sect.

As we all know, humans are the most complex and variable creatures, filled with unpredictability.

Although Li Yu would remain cautious in his selection of people in the future, conducting background checks in advance, he would also try to choose those who shared the ideals of the Double Rest Sect and sign labor contracts with them in advance.

But when people actually got here and changed their minds, or even decided to go it alone halfway, it was quite normal.

Apart from the forceful measures from the Judgement Court, Li Yu also needed some more palatable methods to willingly make these transmigrators work for him.

— The player store was a great choice. Li Yu didn’t mind playing the role of a Mysterious Merchant, selling some special goods and helping Eco-friendly Frog clear their inventory.

As a transmigrator, you could still use your wits and modern technology to carve out a career after leaving the Double Rest Sect, such as becoming a timeless artist, a noble with land, or even establishing your own country...

But that also meant you would never be able to play on a Switch or drink Coca-Cola on Bratis Continent again.

With this in mind, Li Yu believed that most transmigrators would weigh their options when wanting to break their labor contract with the Double Rest Sect.

Moreover, Li Yu didn’t plan to limit the transmigrators’ development paths; even if they worshipped Saturday, they could still be lords or engage in artistic creation...

In terms of hiring, it was essential to consider the organization’s needs, but also the desires of the workers themselves.

It is difficult for someone to perform well in a position they do not enjoy.

As for the very few extremely rebellious transmigrators who wanted to establish a new sect and compete with the Double Rest Sect, Li Yu was not worried... because transmigrators did not understand how to exploit faith, and doing so would harm themselves without benefiting anyone.

If there were such a lunatic, Li Yu would just send the Judgement Court to eliminate him.

When he heard that more familiar products could be purchased in the future, Niu Xiangui’s face instantly showed a look of surprise, repeatedly saying how good it was.

Especially when he heard that Li Yu would also be listing computers in the store, Niu Xiangui gasped in astonishment.

Gosh, what could be cooler than owning a computer in the Middle Ages?!

Niu Xiangui never imagined that in a place where they couldn’t even produce soap, he might still be able to continue his previous job.

And now his body was stronger and his stamina more abundant; Niu Xiangui had several sleepless nights before, but when he woke up the next morning, his discomfort was much less than after a night of overworking.

This was the power of the Half-Beast bloodline. Niu Xiangui was now glad he had been reborn on Bratis Continent, worshipping Saturday. If he were still at his original company, his evil boss would probably force him to work 48 hours a day nonstop!

It made him even more aware of the necessity and importance of Li Yu promoting a weekend in this area.

Just imagine, if Bratis Continent also entered the industrial society, the exploitation the Half-Beasts would suffer would inevitably be more brutal, more ruthless, and bloodier!

By then, even 996 would seem like a luxury—such a future too terrifying, too dark. Just thinking about it sent shivers down Niu Xiangui’s spine.

The Great Flood, a small asteroid striking Earth, Thanos’s snap? They’re nothing—this would be the real global disaster!

Niu Xiangui’s gaze became deep and prolonged, as if he had traversed the torrents of time and glimpsed a startling future.

No, I must learn the language here well and spread this apocalyptic prophecy to more people.

Warning everyone, the Double Rest Sect must achieve the ultimate victory.
