Online Game: My Decay Drives the Entire Server Crazy

Chapter 92 The Officials Are in a Hurry! Lifetime VIP OfferedNews of the Anti-Unscrupulous Alliance’s total annihilation in the cross-server core area spread to every server worldwide in less than an hour. William was cornered at the entrance of the Freedom Alliance’s guild territory in the US Server by two thousand contracted players demanding reimbursement for equipment repair costs and mental distress. He squatted on the highest step of the guild territory, watching the nine-guild alliance he had personally built collapse like a row of dominoes at the slightest touch. Kim Hyun-tae completely dropped his facade and publicly released a detailed ’Anti-Unscrupulous Alliance Internal Intelligence Report’ in the cross-server channel, posting secret meeting records of William forming the alliance, intelligence purchase channels, and even the budget allocation percentages for each guild. Yamada Ichiro followed up with another blow, admitting that the sealing scrolls and spatial blockade traps provided by the Sakura Shrine had ’all been transferred to the Unscrupulous Business Center warehouse,’ meaning the supplies William spent a fortune on ended up in Lin Ye’s inventory. Solo players on the US Server began posting on forums demanding William’s resignation as the president of the Freedom Alliance. Several presidents of small and medium-sized North American guilds directly blocked the entrance of the Liberty City guild territory with withdrawal applications, demanding to process their resignations on the spot. In the meeting room, William slumped in his chair, the holographic screen before him still lit up. A pinned announcement hung high on the home page of the Unscrupulous Business Center’s official website: ’The global protection fee package now covers over ninety-five percent of guilds worldwide. We thank all guild presidents for their support and trust.’ He watched with his own eyes as that number jumped from ninety-five percent to ninety-six percent.

In the third-floor VIP room of the Unscrupulous Business Center, Lin Ye sat by the window drinking tea. Fatty Wang stood nearby holding a tablet, refreshing the global protection fee package’s signing data in real-time. Su Qinghan sat opposite them, flipping through feedback reports from solo players across various servers. ’Forty new guilds from the Southeast Asian Server have signed, twelve from the Australian Server, and eight from the South American Server. After those two thousand people under William signed the agreement, almost all the small and medium-sized guilds in the US Server that hadn’t signed yet came forward.’ ’A president from the Indian Server signed a five-year guild package all at once, saying he didn’t want to worry about renewals every year,’ Fatty Wang added. Lin Ye set down his teacup and was about to speak when a hurried set of footsteps came from the stairwell. GM Xiao Zhou emerged from the stairs, wearing a slightly crisper blue shirt today, but the dark circles under his eyes were a shade heavier than the day the Lord of the Abyss went down into the mines. He carried a silver case even larger than the last one. He walked up to Lin Ye, placed the case on the table, and opened it.

Inside the case, several items were neatly arranged. A lifetime VIP authorization certificate, stamped with the joint seal of the Global Gaming Alliance—not just the official seal of the Chinese Server, but a globally valid lifetime VIP status jointly signed by all servers including the US, European, Japanese, and Korean Servers. A pure gold custom gaming pod key; the pod utilized the latest cross-dimensional energy conduction technology, allowing for a 0.1-second seamless switch between the game and reality. A dividend rights agreement for one percent of the game’s global revenue, settled monthly and audited by a third-party international accounting firm. There was also a virtual folder with ’Exclusive Infinite Material Dungeon Access’ written on the cover, with a small note in the remarks: ’All BOSSes and materials within the dungeon automatically refresh daily at midnight. For the exclusive use of Ye the Wicked; no other players may enter.’ Lin Ye glanced at the case, picked up his teacup, and took a sip without reaching out.
