Online Game: My Decay Drives the Entire Server Crazy

Chapter 14 Ultimate Social Death! Zhao Kai didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.After Zhao Kai logged off, he thought he was finally free. He took a shower, made a cup of coffee, and slumped onto the sofa with a long sigh of relief. After being tormented for a day and a night, he could finally have some peace and quiet.

But he was happy too soon.

What Lin Ye had cleared for him were only the health loss and the log-off vibration effects. The core framework of the Social Death Package was still there, and Lin Ye had just added a new effect to him—Forced Nearby Channel Voice Activation.

What this effect meant was: as long as Zhao Kai was online, every word he said could be heard by all players around him. It wasn’t the party channel, not the guild channel, but the Nearby Channel—forced on, unable to be turned off, and unable to be blocked.

After finishing his coffee, Zhao Kai felt like everything should be fine and cautiously logged into the game. Just as he entered the Creation Space, he heard a system prompt—

[System Prompt: You have been afflicted with the [Forced Voice Broadcast] effect. Every word you say will be automatically broadcast to the Nearby Channel. This effect cannot be turned off or blocked.]

Zhao Kai was stunned: ”What?”

As soon as he spoke, a line of text popped up simultaneously in the Nearby Channels of all players in the Creation Space—

[Nearby Channel][Master Kai]: What?

Zhao Kai’s face turned pale instantly. He quickly covered his mouth, but it was too late.

There were dozens of players in the Creation Space who had been kicked out of the Novice Village, and they all saw this message. They all looked at Zhao Kai in unison, their eyes full of schadenfreude.

”Hahaha! Master Kai, what kind of ghost thing is attached to you? Everyone on the server can hear you talk?”

Zhao Kai wanted to explain, but as soon as he opened his mouth, another message popped up in the Nearby Channel—

[Nearby Channel][Master Kai]: No, I—

He quickly shut his mouth, but the message had already been sent. The surrounding players doubled over with laughter.

”Master Kai, this social death effect is too brutal, isn’t it? Even your breathing can be heard?”

Zhao Kai gritted his teeth, not daring to say another word. He held his breath, his face turning red, but the Nearby Channel still popped up a message—

[Nearby Channel][Master Kai]: ... (Heavy breathing sounds)

When the players across the server saw this message, they went completely crazy with laughter.

[world channel]

[Player ”Onlooker”: Hahaha! Master Kai doesn’t even dare to breathe loudly anymore!]

[Player ”Yes Little Follower”: Brother Ye’s move is too brutal! Forced Voice Broadcast, even the sound of breathing can be heard by the whole server!]

[Player ”Invincible Sword God”: Master Kai, why don’t you say something? Let us hear your voice!]

[Player ”Brick-Moving Expert”: Master Kai is probably about to faint from holding his breath, hahaha!]

Zhao Kai looked at the mockery on the world channel, trembling with rage. He wanted to curse, but didn’t dare to open his mouth. He held his breath, his face turning red, until finally he couldn’t hold it anymore and took a sharp, deep breath—

[Nearby Channel][Master Kai]: Whew... ha...

The whole server burst into laughter again.

Zhao Kai completely broke down. He shut down the game and logged off. But Lin Ye had already anticipated this step—logging off was useless. He had also tagged Zhao Kai with an ”Offline Forced Pop-up Fee Reminder” effect; as long as Zhao Kai was offline, the gaming pod would pop up a window every five minutes: ”You have been charged. Please pay your protection fee in time. Current debt: 100,000 Gold Coins.”

Zhao Kai took off his helmet and just as he lay down, the gaming pod vibrated. He climbed up to close the pop-up, and just as he lay down, it vibrated again. Close it, vibrate again. Close it, vibrate again.

For the entire night, Zhao Kai was tormented so much that he didn’t close his eyes once. With two dark circles under his eyes, he slumped on the bed, his gaze vacant, his spirit on the verge of collapse.

Early the next morning, he really couldn’t take it anymore. He opened the game and sent a private message to Lin Ye—

[Private Message] Master Kai: Brother Ye, I was really wrong. I beg you to clear the debuffs on me. I can’t take it anymore.

Lin Ye replied instantly: ”One hundred thousand Gold Coins. Pay it and I’ll clear them.”
