Online Game: My Decay Drives the Entire Server Crazy

Chapter 24: Rejecting a Multi-Million Dollar Salary, Qin Wentian Angrily Issues a Blacklist OrderBefore the white light of the teleportation array had even faded, Lin Ye saw a massive, dense crowd before him.

In the teleportation plaza of the main city, Dawn City, there were at least a hundred players standing there.

They wore matching guild uniforms with golden Heavenly Temple badges pinned to their chests, surrounding the teleportation array so tightly that not even water could pass through.

People were hidden on the rooftops, steps, and even behind the statues around the plaza; it was clearly an organized encirclement.

The person leading the team was an old acquaintance—Lingtian of Heavenly Temple.

He stood at the very front of the crowd, his gear significantly better than last time; evidently, Qin Wentian had provided him with new supplies.

Behind him stood over twenty elites, all above level 15, with gear that was uniformly purple-tier or better.

”Yo, isn’t this Boss Ye?” Lingtian said with a sarcastic tone, ”Welcome to the main city.”

Lin Ye looked around, a wicked smile curling the corner of his lips: ”Such a big formation, are you welcoming me?”

”Of course,” Lingtian stepped forward, his tone arrogant. ”Our Guild Leader said you are an honored guest, so we must treat you well. We’ve surrounded the teleportation array 360 degrees with no blind spots; not even a fly can escape. Be sensible and come with us; the Guild Leader wants to see you.”

Su Qinghan frowned and whispered to Lin Ye, ”At least one hundred and fifty people, plus hidden archers and mages. Forcing our way through isn’t realistic.”

Fatty Wang’s legs went weak. He shrank behind Lin Ye and whispered, ”Brother, why don’t we go back to the Novice Village first? We can come back after the heat dies down…”

Lin Ye ignored them and stared at Lingtian, asking, ”Your Guild Leader wants to see me, and this is his attitude? Blocking the door with over a hundred people—is this an invitation or a kidnapping?”

Lingtian sneered, ”An invitation? Do you even deserve one? Our Guild Leader is giving you face by letting me invite you. Otherwise, do you think you could walk out of this teleportation array alive?”

The lackeys behind him chimed in—

”Exactly! A newbie from the Novice Village, and he thinks he deserves our Guild Leader to invite him personally?”

”Be sensible and hurry up and kneel to admit your mistake. Maybe if the Guild Leader is in a good mood, he might spare your life.”

”So what if you have an SSS-grade Talent? Once you reach the main city, if you’re a dragon, you have to coil; if you’re a tiger, you have to crouch!”

Lin Ye laughed. He opened his private messages, found the chat window for Qin Wentian, and sent a message—

[Private Message] Ye: Guild Leader Qin, your men say they want me to kneel and admit my mistake. Is this your intention?

The other side replied instantly—

[Private Message] Heavenly Temple Qin Wentian: Lingtian doesn’t know how to speak properly; don’t mind him. I genuinely want to invite you to join Heavenly Temple. A ten-million annual salary in real currency, the position of Chief Combatant, and full access to all server resources. You won’t find a second offer like this on the entire server.

Lin Ye took a look and replied—

[Private Message] Ye: A ten-million annual salary? Sounds tempting. But I have a question.

[Private Message] Heavenly Temple Qin Wentian: What question?

[Private Message] Ye: After I join Heavenly Temple, can I fleece you guys?

The other side went silent.

Lin Ye added another line—

[Private Message] Ye: Just kidding. Seriously, your conditions are good, but I’m not interested. Fleecing you guys at Heavenly Temple earns more than that annual salary. Besides—your resources will be my resource library in the future. Why would I join?

After sending it, he closed the private message and looked up at Lingtian: ”Your Guild Leader said to tell you not to talk nonsense. But my answer is still the same—I’m not joining.”

Lingtian’s expression changed instantly: ”You fucking refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit?”

Lin Ye shrugged: ”A forfeit? Just because of you lot?”

”You’re courting death!” Lingtian waved his hand. ”Brothers, get him! Kill him back to the Novice Village!”

Over a hundred people attacked at the same time, their skills raining down like an overwhelming storm.

But Lin Ye was well-prepared. He raised his hand and activated ”Mass Decay Domain”—within a fifty-yard radius, all hostile targets were automatically inflicted with a debuff.
