Online Game: My Decay Drives the Entire Server Crazy

She had witnessed Lin Ye’s entire performance. There was no flashy footwork, no sophisticated skill combos; he just stood there and let fifty-plus people hit him. Then, those fifty-plus people died on their own.

”That Talent of yours...” Su Qinghan couldn’t help but say, ”is way too ridiculous.”

Lin Ye shrugged. ”I told you, its priority is higher than a GM’s.”

Su Qinghan was silent for a few seconds before suddenly asking, ”Why didn’t you use my help just now? I could have cast my shield two more times.”

Lin Ye glanced at her. ”I wanted to see exactly how much sincerity you had.”

”Sincerity?”

”Yes,” Lin Ye said. ”If you hadn’t acted just now, or if you had run away seeing so many people, our partnership would have ended right there. But not only did you stay, you stood in front of me and shielded me.” He paused. ”That shows you’re serious about collaborating.”

Su Qinghan was stunned for a moment, then laughed. ”You were testing me?”

”You could say that.” Lin Ye smiled as well. ”Congratulations, you passed.”

Su Qinghan shook her head, speechless. This man was truly wicked to the core, testing even his own partner.

”So, what’s next?” she asked.

Lin Ye thought for a bit. ”We don’t need to worry about Zhao Kai for now; he can’t cause any more waves. Next, it’s time for some real business.”

”What business?”

”Dungeon grinding.” Lin Ye opened the map and pointed toward the north of the Novice Village. ”The highest difficulty dungeon in the Novice Village—the Wolf King Secret Realm. No one in the entire server has cleared it yet. Let’s go take the First Clear.”

Su Qinghan’s eyes lit up. ”Are you sure? The difficulty of the Wolf King Secret Realm is ten times higher than the Wolf King outside. The mobs inside start at Level 15, and the final boss is a Level 20 Elite Wolf King. All the top ten guilds in the server have tried, and they were all wiped out.”

Lin Ye laughed. ”That was them. We’re different.”

”How are we different?”

”You have the strongest shield in the server, and I have the most toxic debuff in the server.” Lin Ye stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes. ”With our coordination, let alone a Level 20 boss, we could grind down a Level 30 one.”

Su Qinghan looked at him and suddenly felt that although this man was wicked, he was strangely reassuring.

”Fine.” She also stood up. ”Then let’s go give it a try.”

The two walked side by side toward the Wolf King Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the World Channel, a message quietly popped up—

[World Channel][Heavenly Temple Qin Wentian]: Ye, your performance was excellent. Any interest in joining Heavenly Temple? We can discuss the benefits.

When the players across the server saw this message, they exploded again—

[World Channel]

[Player ’Onlooker’: Holy crap! Qin Wentian is personally headhunting him?!]

[Player ’Brick-Moving Expert’: Brother Ye is going to the top! Even the Guild Leader of Heavenly Temple came to invite him personally!]

[Player ’Invincible Sword God’: Don’t go, Brother Ye! Heavenly Temple is full of scammers!]

[Player ’Yes Little Follower’: If Brother Ye joins Heavenly Temple, won’t Master Kai cry himself to death?]

Lin Ye also saw the message. He glanced at it, a wicked smile curling his lips, and replied—

[World Channel][Ye]: Guild Leader Qin, thank you for your kindness. However, I’m used to playing alone. Besides—some people from your Heavenly Temple tried to steal my boss a few days ago. I haven’t settled that score yet.

The players across the server went wild with laughter upon seeing this—

”Hahaha! Brother Ye just slapped his face directly!”

”Qin Wentian personally tried to recruit him, got rejected on the spot, and even had old grudges brought up!”

”Brother Ye is awesome! He doesn’t give Heavenly Temple any face at all!”

Qin Wentian’s face turned livid as he looked at the reply. He hadn’t expected that after stepping forward personally, he would be rejected by a player in the Novice Village. And it was done in front of the entire server, with old scores being settled.

He gritted his teeth and closed the World Channel.

”Guild Leader, should we...” a lackey behind him asked tentatively.

Qin Wentian raised his hand. ”No rush. Let him enjoy himself for a few days. Once he reaches the main city, I’ll show him what’s what.”

Meanwhile, Lin Ye and Su Qinghan were already standing at the entrance to the Wolf King Secret Realm.

Su Qinghan looked at the dungeon entrance and took a deep breath. ”Are you ready?”
