Online Game: My Decay Drives the Entire Server Crazy

Chapter 52: The Unscrupulous Game Boosting Service Goes Online, Specializing in Scamming Bad People and Becoming a Server-Wide Sensation.On the third day since the protection fee package went online, the queue at the entrance of Commoner Supermarket hadn’t decreased; instead, it grew longer and longer. Fatty Wang was so busy his feet barely touched the ground, not even having time for a sip of water. Su Qinghan was helping collect money behind the counter, while Qin Wentian maintained order at the entrance. The three of them were spinning like tops.

Lin Ye sat by the window on the third floor, watching the dense crowd below with a wicked smile on his face. However, he knew in his heart that the protection fee package alone wasn’t enough. Solo players had diverse needs—some wanted revenge after having their mobs stolen, some wanted justice after being scammed for equipment, and some wanted to vent their anger after being bullied by large guilds. The protection fee package was purely defensive, not offensive. The missing puzzle piece was called ’power-leveling.’

After finishing her morning work, Su Qinghan went upstairs to find him. She held an investigation report, her expression somewhat grave: ”Ye, I looked into the server-wide power-leveling market; the water is very deep. On the surface, some studios are taking orders, but behind the scenes, it’s all controlled by the Black Market Guild. Chaotic pricing, poor service quality, and scams are the norm. Solo players not only fail to get things done after spending money, but they are also often harvested a second time.”

Lin Ye took the report and read through it once, his eyes growing brighter and brighter. This wasn’t a problem; it was an opportunity.

”Qinghan, what do you think about us starting a power-leveling business?” He leaned back in his chair, crossing his legs. ”Not for ordinary level-grinding, but specifically to stand up for players who’ve been screwed over. Black-hearted big spenders, mob-stealers, and dishonest merchants who scam newbies—as long as they place an order, we’ll help them seek justice and make the other party pay a price.”

Su Qinghan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: ”What you’re doing isn’t called power-leveling; it’s called wicked law enforcement.”

”The name isn’t important; the effect is.” Lin Ye stood up, walked to the window, and pointed at the crowd queuing below. ”Look at those people. How many of them have been bullied and didn’t dare to speak up? How many have been scammed and didn’t dare to report it? We stand up for them, they pay us—it’s a win-win.”

Su Qinghan thought for a moment and nodded: ”It’s feasible. But there must be a standard; we can’t just take any order. What if someone deliberately places an order to frame an innocent player?”

A wicked smile curled on Lin Ye’s lips: ”So we have to audit them. Every order must have its situation verified. We only help victims, not troublemakers. That’s the bottom line.”

That afternoon, Fatty Wang posted a business announcement for ’Vile Power-leveling’ on the forum. The announcement was written simply, just a few sentences—

”Vile Power-leveling, specifically targeting scumbags. Business scope: Helping victims seek justice. Service targets: Solo players who have had mobs stolen, equipment scammed, or been maliciously hunted down. Fee standard: Pricing based on the severity of the incident, minimum 100 gold coins, no upper limit. Order acceptance principle: Only helping victims, not troublemakers. Evidence must be provided before placing an order; orders will only be accepted after passing the audit. Note: The final right of interpretation for this business belongs to Ye the Wicked.”

Less than half an hour after the announcement was posted, the forum exploded.

Floor 1: Holy crap! Brother Ye is doing power-leveling? And it’s the kind specifically for targeting scumbags? I have to support this!

Floor 2: You can get revenge for stolen mobs too? Brother Ye, you’re trying to become the solo players’ police!

Floor 3: Last time I had a BOSS stolen by a big spender, I was so angry I almost deleted my account. Brother Ye, can you take this order?

Floor 4: Person above, you need to provide evidence. Without evidence, it’s hard for Brother Ye to handle it.
