Online Game: My Decay Drives the Entire Server Crazy

Chapter 60 The Uncrowned King of the Main City, No One in the Entire Server Dares to Provoke HimThree days later, at the former site of the Heavenly Temple.

Fatty Wang stood before the ruins, rubbing his eyes vigorously. Three days ago, this was still a wasteland, with the system having reclaimed the territory, leaving only a few crooked pillars standing. Now, a three-story business center had sprung up. The exterior walls were painted with gold lacquer, two stone lions stood at the entrance, and a massive plaque hung overhead with eight large characters written on it.

”Unscrupulous Business Center, Fair to All.”

Fatty Wang turned his head to look at Lin Ye, his mouth hanging open wide enough to fit an egg: ”Brother, did you secretly slip the system some money? Three days, just three days, and you built a whole building?”

Lin Ye leaned against the stone lion, crossing his legs: ”It wasn’t me paying off the system; it was GM Xiao Zhou. He heard I wanted to take over this land, so he mobilized system resources overnight and got the building finished in three days.”

”What’s in it for him?”

”He wants me to stop farming the BOSS on the Test Server.”

Su Qinghan laughed from the side: ”Just how far have you pushed the GM that he’s personally stepping in to build houses?”

Lin Ye shrugged: ”It’s professionalism. If he doesn’t build the place, I go farm the BOSS. If he builds the place, I run the shop honestly. It’s a win-win.”

Fatty Wang gave a thumbs up: ”Brother, you really are wicked.”

The three of them walked into the business center. The first floor was a flagship store for material supermarkets, with shelves stocked full of various rare materials, all priced at half the market rate. A dozen or so casual players were snapping them up, and seeing Lin Ye walk in, they all called out in unison, ”Hello, Brother Ye.”

Lin Ye waved his hand: ”Keep buying, don’t mind me.”

The second floor was the processing center for protection fee packages and power-leveling services. Three customer service girls were coordinating orders, their fingers moving so fast they were almost smoking. Fatty Wang took one look at the backend data, and his eyes nearly popped out.

”Brother, the renewal rate for the protection fee package is ninety-five percent, and the power-leveling orders are backed up for half a year.”

Lin Ye nodded: ”Not bad.”

”Not bad? Brother, do you know what orders half a year from now mean? It means players from the entire server are sending us money!”

Lin Ye patted him on the shoulder: ”Stay calm. This is just the beginning. Once the Cross-Server Tournament is over, orders from overseas players will come in too.”

The third floor was the exclusive service area for VIP clients, with two NPC guards standing at the door. Fatty Wang pushed the door open, and inside sat a familiar figure.

Qin Wentian’s former vice-guild leader, Pojun.

Lin Ye walked in and sat opposite Pojun: ”You didn’t come to see me just to drink tea, did you?”

Pojun was silent for a few seconds, then spoke: ”The Heavenly Temple has disbanded. I want to find a place to stay. Do you have any openings here?”

Lin Ye didn’t speak.

Pojun continued: ”I’m not here to beg you to take me in. I’m here to apply for a job. Whatever assessment you have, I’ll take it. If I can’t pass, I’ll leave. If I pass, I’ll work for you.”

Lin Ye looked at him, his gaze calm: ”You used to be the vice-guild leader of the Heavenly Temple, working under Qin Wentian. Don’t you feel ashamed to come work for me now?”

Pojun shook his head: ”Not shameful. I followed Qin Wentian before because he was honorable. Later, he went down the wrong path. I tried to persuade him, but he wouldn’t listen. Now that the guild is gone, I don’t resent him, but I need to find a path for myself. You run things by the rules here and don’t scam ordinary people. I’m willing to work for you.”

Lin Ye was silent for a few seconds, then smiled: ”Fine. The assessment is simple. You’ll be in charge of the third-floor VIP area. There’s only one rule.”

”Tell me.”

”Don’t scam ordinary people.”

Pojun stood up and bowed deeply: ”Thank you.”

After Pojun left, Su Qinghan walked to Lin Ye’s side: ”Do you really trust him?”

Lin Ye nodded: ”I do. Because he’s different from Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian is stupid; he is clear-headed. A clear-headed person knows what should be done and what shouldn’t.”

Just as he finished speaking, the system popped up a golden server-wide announcement.
