We offered you a summer job, but you went and became a mercenary?

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

The guild members who were initially intimidated by the 15 million suddenly became incredibly excited, and the entire voice channel was filled with enthusiastic responses.

For a moment, all the players on the server witnessed a strange sight.

Hundreds of core members of the top guild in the Chinese server, "Dynasty," teleported back to the main city from various maps, blocking the exit of the safe zone. Their gleaming weapons and menacing IDs formed a human wall.

The atmosphere on the entire server became tense because of the upcoming showdown between the top spenders.

However, Lin Ye didn't even look at the world channel.

He found the glittering "Supreme Emperor VIP Exclusive Customer Service Hotline" on the game's official website and dialed it with his cracked-screen phone.

The call was answered almost instantly.

A woman's voice, mixed with a tone of voice, came from the receiver.

"Dear Supreme Emperor player, I am your dedicated customer service representative, Xiaotian (No. 007). How can I help you?"

"Hello," Lin Ye said, getting straight to the point, "Get me that weapon in your game called 'Dragon Slayer Sword,' name your price."

Xiaotian on the other end of the phone was clearly stunned for a moment, and a hint of panic appeared in her sweet voice.

"Ah? Your... Your Excellency, I'm very sorry, but that sword was the only reward for a limited-time launch event, and it's no longer available. According to company regulations, we cannot..."

"Alright."

Lin Ye interrupted her impatiently.

"Don't talk to me about rules; that's an internal matter for you."

He took a sip of his cola, shifted to a more comfortable position, and slowly began to speak.

"How about this, I'll deposit another 20 million. Or I can buy one percent of your company's shares? As a future shareholder, asking for a virtual weapon in the game isn't unreasonable, is it?"

"..."

A deathly silence fell over the receiver.

All that remained was the buzzing of the electricity and the increasingly heavy, almost suffocating breathing of the customer service girl.

Lin Ye could even imagine that on the other end of the phone, a poor working-class person's worldview collapsed because of his words.

Several seconds passed before a trembling voice, choked with sobs, came from the other end of the phone.

"Sir...please...please wait a moment! I...I'll connect you with our operations director right away!"

Less than thirty seconds later, a middle-aged man's voice, panting heavily and clearly having run all the way, came through the receiver. His tone was full of humility and fear.

"Mr. Lin... Hello! I am the Operations Director of 'Nine Heavens Mystic Demon'! It's a misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding!"

"You are our most honored guest! How could we let you spend any more money! It's just a sword! A minor problem! We'll take care of it for you right away!"

The director's survival instinct is off the charts.

Are you kidding me!

A whale who spent 15 million in an hour and is now going to spend another 20 million is no ordinary whale player, he's a prehistoric behemoth!

Forget about a sword, even if he wanted GM privileges, they could find a way to get it as long as the money is right!

"Our technical department will immediately create a customized 'Creator God Exclusive Gift Pack' for you, which will be sent to your account via email. It contains everything you need!"

"The efficiency is alright."

Lin Ye gave a casual comment and then hung up the phone.

Less than ten seconds.

"Ding!"

In the game, his mailbox icon started flashing wildly, its light even more dazzling than his +15 equipment.

Lin Ye opened the email.

[Exclusive Gift Pack for the Creator God] x1.

He clicked to claim.

With a flash of light, the ancient demonic weapon, the Dragon Slayer Sword, which was entirely crimson and surrounded by the phantom of a black dragon, quietly lay inside his backpack.

Lin Ye glanced at the more than ten million Immortal Jade left in his account, then purchased five hundred [Divine Craft Protection Talismans] and directly opened the enhancement interface.

He placed his newly acquired Dragon-Slaying Sword on it.

"Ding! +16 enhancement successful!"

"Ding! +17 enhancement successful!"

……

A series of system notifications flooded everyone's screens once again.

When Lin Ye upgraded the sword to +20, the entire server sky turned blood red, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"BOOM—!!!"

A dark golden chaotic divine lightning bolt, indescribable in words, struck down from the void and landed precisely on Lin Ye's character!

His character, along with the golden dragon beneath him, seemed to transform into a black sun at this moment, devouring all the light around him!

At this moment, all players on the entire server received a top-level announcement from the system.

[Divine Oracle]: A divine weapon has appeared, resonating with heaven and earth! Player [Simple and Unpretentious Worker] has successfully forged the mythical [Chaos World-Destroying Dragon-Slaying Divine Sword +20]! Its power transcends the nine heavens! This is hereby proclaimed to the world!

The power rankings are being updated rapidly.

All the players saw that the combat power of the player who was originally ranked second, [Humble and Unassuming Worker], suddenly skyrocketed in an unprecedentedly terrifying way!

Ultimately, that number settled steadily at more than three times that of [Long Aotian]!

An insurmountable, hopeless barrier!

Lin Ye looked with satisfaction at the black divine sword in his character's hand, which exuded an aura of destruction, and gently shook the mouse.

Then, under the horrified gazes of hundreds of "Dynasty" guild players at the main city gate...

He controlled the glowing game character, slowly and deliberately walking out of the safe zone.
