Online Game: My Decay Drives the Entire Server Crazy

Chapter 6: Zhao Kai Angered the Show-Off Henchman in the Safe ZoneLin Ye finished listing his equipment in the Trading House. Just as he stepped out, he saw another crowd gathered in the square.

This time, the display was even larger than before.

Brother Kai’s Underling was blocking the center of the square with over thirty people, but he didn’t dare to make a move this time. He just stared fiercely at Lin Ye, as if waiting for someone.

”Is this the kid?” a deep voice came from behind the crowd.

The crowd automatically parted as a warrior wearing a blue set walked out. His ID was ”Master Kai,” his level was shown as Level 9, and his equipment glowed with a blue light. He held a shimmering blue greatsword; one look and you could tell he had spent a lot of money.

Zhao Kai, Vice President of Heavenly Temple, a pay-to-win big shot ranked in the top hundred server-wide.

He walked up to Lin Ye, sized him up, and his eyes were full of disdain: ”Just you? A penniless wretch with no gear, and you dare to touch my people?”

Lin Ye didn’t speak, quietly watching him perform.

An underling behind Zhao Kai immediately jumped out and pointed at Lin Ye, cursing: ”Master Kai is asking you a question! Are you mute? Do you know who our Master Kai is? A pay-to-win big shot ranked in the top hundred server-wide, the Vice President of Heavenly Temple! If you offend our Master Kai, don’t even think about surviving in this game!”

Another underling joined in: ”Exactly! Be sensible and hand over all the equipment the Wolf King dropped earlier, then kowtow three times to Master Kai to admit your mistake. If Master Kai is in a good mood, he might even spare you once.”

Zhao Kai raised his hand, signaling the underlings to be quiet. He stared at Lin Ye, his tone arrogant: ”I heard your Talent is pretty good? SSS-grade? Indeed rare. But no matter how good the Talent is, you still need money to make it work. How about this, I’ll give you a chance—join Heavenly Temple and follow me from now on. I’ll pay you a monthly salary of five thousand yuan. I won’t take your equipment for nothing either; 100 gold coins will be your meeting gift.”

As he spoke, he casually tossed over a trade request, with ”100” filled in the amount column.

100 gold coins?

Lin Ye looked at the trade box, then at Zhao Kai’s charitable expression, and couldn’t help but laugh.

”What are you laughing at?” Zhao Kai frowned.

”Laughing at how poor you are,” Lin Ye said flatly. ”You want to buy the equipment in my inventory for 100 gold coins? Do you know how much stock I have?”

Zhao Kai’s face darkened: ”What do you mean?”

Lin Ye opened his inventory and displayed the items inside—three pieces of purple equipment, over a dozen pieces of blue equipment, and a pile of rare materials. The total value was at least five thousand gold coins to start.

When the onlookers saw this, they all exploded—

”Holy crap! Purple equipment? Three pieces? How much is that worth!”

”He spent an hour harvesting the Wolf King just now, and he got this much?”

”Five thousand gold coins at minimum. Based on current gold prices, that’s worth at least ten thousand real-world yuan!”

Zhao Kai’s expression became increasingly ugly. He hadn’t expected a gearless newbie to have so many good things in his inventory. More importantly, this kid actually rejected him in front of so many people, leaving him with no way to save face.

”Kid, don’t be ungrateful.” Zhao Kai’s voice turned cold. ”I’m giving you face by letting you join Heavenly Temple. If you don’t wise up, believe it or not, I’ll make it so you can’t stay in the Novice Village?”

The thirty-plus underlings behind him immediately took a step forward, looking aggressive.

Lin Ye looked around, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

”Make it so I can’t stay? Just with you guys?”

”You’re fucking looking for death!” Zhao Kai was furious and raised his hand to swing his sword.

But an underling beside him stopped him: ”Master Kai, don’t be impulsive! This is a Safe Zone. If you attack, you’ll get a red name.”

Zhao Kai gritted his teeth and forced himself to hold back. He pointed at Lin Ye, his voice sinister: ”Fine, you’ve got guts. I want to see how long you can stay in the Safe Zone. Brothers, guard this place! Kill him the moment he comes out. Today, I’m going to kill him back to level zero!”

The thirty-plus underlings immediately spread out, blocking the square’s exits tightly.

Seeing this, Lin Ye didn’t panic; instead, he laughed even more happily.

”Are you sure you want to block me?”
