Online Game: My Decay Drives the Entire Server Crazy

Chapter 94: The game boosting service is booming, specifically targeting unscrupulous overseas whales.Ghost’s onboarding process was simpler than anyone imagined. No interview, no probation, and no pre-job training. Lin Ye sent the coordinates for the third floor of the Unscrupulous Business Center via private message. At 3:00 AM the next day, a young man wearing a black hoodie appeared in the alley behind the business center’s back door. Fatty Wang, who had gotten up in the middle of the night to check the warehouse, was startled by the figure crouching in the alley and almost triggered the security alarm. The figure stood up, revealing a pale face under the hood, and spoke softly: ”I am Ghost. Brother Ye told me to report in.”

When Fatty Wang led him into the VIP room on the third floor, Lin Ye was sitting by the window drinking tea. Ghost stood at the door without entering, his eyes fixed on the floor and both hands shoved in his pockets, looking like a startled cat. Lin Ye didn’t stand up, but simply pointed to the chair opposite him. Ghost hesitated for a moment before walking over and sitting down, never looking up the entire time.

”You watched me from the shadows for a long time. What did you see?”

Ghost remained silent for a while before pulling a palm-sized holographic projector from his pocket and placing it on the table. The projector started automatically, spreading a dense stream of data in the air. Overseas server cheat transaction records, the cross-server fraud networks of black-hearted whales, the flow of funds from gambling groups controlling cross-server events, and chat logs of the US Server’s Freedom Alliance secretly colluding with game insiders. Every piece of data was marked with time, location, personnel involved, and monetary amounts, precise to two decimal places.

”I’ve collected these over the past three months. The grey industries of the overseas servers, from cheat manufacturing to gold laundering, from event manipulation to account theft—there are over a dozen lines in total. I only collected them before because I didn’t have the ability to deal with them. That was until I saw the livestream where you wiped out the Anti-Unscrupulous Alliance in the Cross-Server Core Zone.” Ghost looked up at Lin Ye once and then quickly lowered his head again. ”You used the Cross-Dimensional Contagion Chain to compress the Abyssal Lord’s summoning delay to under three seconds. That logic perfectly matches the defense mechanism of the game’s underlying code. Your Talent isn’t just a simple game skill; it resonates with the game’s core code.”

Lin Ye set down his teacup and looked into Ghost’s eyes. What this young man said was highly consistent with what he had felt before that grey door deep within the Test Server.

”What do you want?”

”I want to work with you. No salary, no title. I just want a corner where I can work in peace and someone who can protect me.” Ghost’s voice was soft, but every word was steady. ”I can help you keep an eye on all the grey industries in the overseas servers, build a global intelligence network, and monitor the fund flows of black-hearted whales. Just give me a corner.”

Lin Ye turned to look at Su Qinghan. Su Qinghan nodded slightly. Lin Ye stood up, walked over to Ghost, and reached out his hand. ”Head of the Technical Department. Salary will be at market rate, and benefits will be the same as core members. You can pick your own office location—stay wherever you want. But there’s one rule: the Technical Department is only open to you, and all your work is reported directly to me.”

Ghost reached out and shook Lin Ye’s hand. His hand was cold but his grip was firm.

That afternoon, a new business section was added to the official website of the Unscrupulous Business Center. The name of the section was simple and direct—Cross-Server Vile Power-leveling, Specializing in Curing Scumbags. The first item of service was to stand up for wronged solo players and counter-attack kill-stealers and black-hearted whales. The second was to track cross-server scammers and recover stolen materials and gold. The third was to deal with overseas guilds that maliciously monopolized resources and force the cancellation of unfair trading contracts. The fourth was even more direct—orders to actively bully ordinary players are not accepted, and once verified, the ordering account will be permanently blacklisted.
