If you slap me, the whole world will suffer the same harm.

The Bloodthirsty Alliance Leader's Building.

The leader of the alliance was sitting on a broken sofa in the lobby on the first floor, his face gloomy.

Several of his men, covered in blood, were kneeling before him; they were the ringleaders who had failed to defend properly the previous night.

"Do you know how many of us died last night?" The leader's voice was as cold as ice.

"Leader... there are just too many evil creatures... and everyone is exhausted..."

"Snapped!"

The alliance leader slapped the man to the ground: "Tired? Aren't Lin Chen's men tired? How come none of them died?"

"They...they have that golden shield..."

"Cover up my ass! I want them all dead during the day!" The leader stood up, about to give orders.

Suddenly, a black, crescent-shaped blade of energy flew in from outside the building, aiming straight for the alliance leader.

"boom!"

The leader reacted extremely quickly, crossing his two axes to block the blade's energy, but the immense force still sent him staggering back three steps.

"Enemy attack!"

Lin Chen led more than twenty people to rush into the main building from all directions, unleashing a barrage of ranged attacks into the crowd.

"What? They attacked us on their own initiative?" The alliance leader was shocked.

"Kill! Kill the main force first!"

Iron Wolf took the lead, swinging his giant axe and sending two Level 4 Blood Fiend Alliance members flying with a thick axe aura.

Zhang Han moved through the crowd like a ghost, his slender sword transforming into a silver streak, causing blood to spurt from throats wherever it passed.

Chen Hu's cleaver was powerful and heavy, killing one person at a time as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

Xiaoxue skipped and hopped, her long sword transforming into a giant horse-slaying blade, its blade flashing wildly as she fought, shouting, "You bully us! You steal our women! You beat us!"

Red Princess's fel magic staff grew longer and thicker, sweeping across a large area.

Xiaoya huddled at the very back, but her evil weapon was actually a ranged weapon... a small crossbow, every arrow hitting its vitals with pinpoint accuracy.

Although the Blood Alliance had a large number of main forces, most of them were exhausted and slow to react after fighting evil creatures.

In addition, Lin Chen and his group attacked suddenly, targeting the leader, which threw the enemy into chaos.

"Leader! We can't hold on any longer!"

"We have to hold on, even if it's tough! There are only twenty-odd of them! Surround them and kill them!"

The alliance leader brandished his double axes and personally took to the field, facing off against Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen! I underestimated you!" The alliance leader swung his axe down.

Lin Chen dodged to the side, and the Evil King Spear transformed into a long sword as he swung it backhand: "You overestimate yourself."

"Clang clang clang!"

The two men's weapons clashed, sparks flying.

Two peak level 5 experts clashed head-on, their speed so fast that those around them could only see afterimages.

"You're not bad, but you'd have a better future if you followed me." The leader grinned.

"Follow you? Become a piece of trash who bullies women, the elderly, and children?" Lin Chen sneered.

"Survival of the fittest! This is the law of the apocalypse!"

"So now, you're the weak one."

A fierce glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, and the Evil King Spear instantly transformed into a giant hammer.

"broken!"

The hammer came crashing down, and the leader of the alliance used his double axes to block it, but the hammer's power was too terrifying. He was forced to kneel on one knee, and the ground cracked open.

"What are you all standing there for! Attack together!" the alliance leader roared.

But everyone else was entangled with Iron Wolf and his gang and couldn't break free at all.

Moreover, Lin Chen's men continued their attacks, and the main force of the Blood Fiend Alliance was rapidly losing members layer by layer.

"Retreat! Retreat upstairs quickly!" Some people began to flee.

"Damn it! You guys are something else! Let's go, hurry up and get out of here!"

The leader knew that continuing the fight would mean certain death, so he retreated into his men's ranks, using their bodies to shield him from attacks, and ran to a taller building where there were more people.

Lin Chen glanced at the sky, then at the Blood Fiend Alliance's main force, which had already suffered more than half casualties, and knew he couldn't continue.

If we don't leave soon, everyone will be exhausted, and that will be a problem.

"You're lucky today." Lin Chen put away the Evil King Spear. "Let's go."

The alliance leader, hiding upstairs, was still shaken but defiantly roared, "Come on! If you've got the guts, charge up here! We outnumber you, you'll all be exhausted first!"

Lin Chen snorted coldly and led his men in a swift retreat.

Chen Hu was unwilling to give up: "Are we just going to let him go like this?"

Lin Chen: "We're both exhausted. If we continue fighting, it will only result in mutual destruction. Let's go back and rest first."

Iron Wolf: "Actually, we've already made a profit today. Most of their main force has been wiped out, and they won't dare to come back anytime soon."

Zhang Han nodded: "Yes, but we also need to be prepared for a long-term confrontation."

Lin Chen didn't speak, but looked at the remnants of the Blood Fiend Alliance upstairs, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Over the next five days, a temporary balance was reached between the two sides.

Lin Chen's team organizes defense, rests, and recovers every day.

The Bloodthirsty Alliance is also licking its wounds and no longer actively causing trouble.

Occasionally, evil creatures will spawn, and both sides will deal with them.

But Lin Chen didn't stay idle during those five days.

He secretly uses the system every day to bind members of the Bloodthirsty Alliance.

"Ding! Successfully bound to target 'Blood Alliance member ×××', current number of bound users: 1/5000."

"Ding! Successfully bound to target 'Blood Alliance member ×××', current number of bound users: 2/5000."

Binding requires 1 point of masochistic value per person.

Lin Chen's current masochistic value is only 30 points.

"Only 30 can be tied? What good is that?"

System: "Ding! After binding, you can obtain masochistic points based on the emotional fluctuations of the target."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "Emotional fluctuations? Right, I almost forgot."

So he began his "targeted harassment".

Lin Chen pinched his arm every now and then.

Occasionally, I would make a small cut on my finger. The wound was small, didn't affect me or the other person, and the other person wouldn't even notice.

And so, Lin Chen found all sorts of ways to "harass" the members of the Blood Alliance every day.

Although the amount of "torture points" gained each time is small, it's a steady, long-term benefit.

However, after so many days, the leader and his men felt that something was wrong with them.

Everyone assumed it was a flare-up of the wound, and no one suspected Lin Chen.

"Leader, I suspect we've been cursed," the vice leader said.

"Evil magic? What evil magic?"

"It's like... a sudden, sharp pain."

Alliance Leader: "I fucking noticed it too, but it's not too serious, I can just bear with it."

"Could it be that Lin Chen...?"

"Him? He can make me feel pain from a distance? That's bullshit."

And so, ten days passed.

Lin Chen finally accumulated enough "torture points" to bind all five thousand main forces on the opposing side.

"Ding! Host's current masochistic value: 35 points."

Lin Chen's lips curled up: "The next step is to let you experience what true 'shame' really means."

That day, Lin Chen sent a message to the alliance leader: "Meet me at the square tomorrow night to discuss the merger."

Upon hearing this, the alliance leader was overjoyed: "He finally couldn't hold on any longer? Haha! Good! Tomorrow, I'll make him kneel down and beg me!"

Vice Leader: "Leader, could this be a trap?"

The alliance leader sneered, "A trap? How many men could he have? Five hundred? A thousand? We have twenty thousand now! Even if we fight openly, we'll crush him!"

"Our leader is wise!"

---

the next day.

The leader of the alliance led all his subordinates to the central square in a grand procession.

More than 20,000 people, a dark mass, an astonishing sight.

Lin Chen brought only fifty or sixty people with him, and they stood on the opposite side of the square.

"Is that all the people you have?" The alliance leader laughed. "Lin Chen, are you here to beg me, or to die?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I came with sincerity."

"What sincerity?"

"You want my building, you want me, right?"

"Smart, but now the conditions have changed." The leader held up three fingers. "Besides the building and the people, you also need to give me those three beauties, and hand over your golden shield as well."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "So greedy?"

"This is the price of not surrendering sooner."

"Okay, but I have one condition."

"explain."

"Give me one hundred level-three fel crystals."

The alliance leader was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "That's it? One hundred level-three crystals? Good! Deal! Here you go! From now on, work for me!"

Then he turned to his men and said, "Bring it up."

Several henchmen carried large boxes to the center of the square. When they were opened, they found wine, food, and a uniquely designed DJ booth inside.
