Online Game: My Decay Drives the Entire Server Crazy

Chapter 4 turns the Wolf King into a wooden stake, leaving the GM completely bewildered while checking account information.The moment the call ended, a lingering smile remained on Lin Ye’s lips.

GM001? Account check?

He glanced at the Black Wind Wolf King’s corpse lying on the ground, then at the flashing new prompt on his Talent panel, and he had a good idea of what was happening—the officials were getting anxious.

A Level 1 player with basic gear soloing a Level 10 BOSS—who wouldn’t be anxious? But he really wasn’t afraid of a check. The Talent was given by the game itself, the gameplay was his own, and the data was clean. What could the officials possibly find?

Lin Ye pulled back his thoughts and opened the Talent panel. While soloing the Black Wind Wolf King earlier, he had noticed a new prompt—

[System Prompt: Detected that the target [Black Wind Wolf King] has exceeded 200 layers of Decay. A new mechanic has been unlocked!]

[All-Dimensional Attribute Castration (Advanced Effect)]

Effect Description: Allows precise control over the target attributes castrated by the Decay Debuff. Specified attributes (Attack, Defense, Movement Speed, Attack Speed, Skill Effects, etc.) can be individually reduced to their minimum value (minimum of 1 point), while other attributes remain unaffected.

Unlock Condition: Stack debuff layers on any BOSS beyond 200 layers (Completed).

After Lin Ye finished reading, his eyes instantly lit up.

When he fought the Black Wind Wolf King earlier, he was just mindlessly stacking layers, weakening all attributes together. But now with this new mechanic, he could control it precisely—for example, weakening only Attack and not Defense, making the BOSS unable to hurt anyone but also unable to die; or weakening only Movement Speed, turning the BOSS into a turtle to be slowly tortured.

This room for maneuver had suddenly increased more than tenfold.

Moreover, the unlock condition was only 200 layers. For other players, they might not be able to stack that many in a lifetime. But for him? 200 layers was just the starting price.

“Interesting.” Lin Ye rubbed his hands, a wicked light appearing in his eyes. “When the Black Wind Wolf King refreshes, I’ll use it to test the new mechanic.”

But for now...

He looked at the loot in his backpack—one blue breastplate, one blue iron sword, several scarce materials from the Novice Village, and over 500 gold coins. Combined with the 1,000 gold coins and bronze treasure chest from the first-kill reward, this haul brought in 1,500 gold coins directly.

Based on current gold prices, it could be exchanged for at least several thousand real-world yuan.

Lin Ye took a deep breath. The frustration he had bottled up for three months was finally mostly gone.

Just as he was preparing to return to the Novice Village to sell the gear, the system popped up another prompt—

[System Prompt: You have one unread message from GM001.]

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow and casually clicked it open.

[GM001: Player “Ye”, please cooperate with the official audit of your account data. Your Talent effect exceeds the normal range of the game. If you do not cooperate, mandatory measures will be taken.]

Mandatory measures?

Lin Ye sneered and replied, “I’m killing monsters based on my Talent. Which rule did I violate? Your game gave me an SSS-rank Talent, and you’re not letting me use it?”

After sending the message, the other side was silent for a few seconds before replying again.

[GM001: SSS-rank Talents do exist, but your damage data is abnormal. We need to verify if there is any BUG exploitation. Please cooperate.]

Lin Ye didn’t bother to waste any more words and directly closed the message window. Cooperate? Cooperate my ass. His most urgent task now was to test how powerful the newly unlocked “Attribute Castration” really was.

He looked in the direction of the Wolf Kings Lair—there were still ten minutes until the Black Wind Wolf King refreshed.

Just right, he’d go back and recover his status.

Lin Ye turned and walked out of Black Wind Ridge. Every player he met along the way stared at him as if he were a monster.

“Holy crap! It’s him! That freak who soloed the Black Wind Wolf King at Level 1!”

“Big shot, please carry me! I’ll be your lackey!”

“Brother, what exactly is the effect of that SSS-rank Talent of yours? Can you give us a hint?”

“Forget it. It’s the only Talent of its kind in the whole server. Why would he tell you?”
