The Tycoon God of Online Gaming

Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Trust Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Trust Editor: Larbre Studio Chu You asked for the other side’s bank account number and calmly transferred the money necessary to buy the lowest-grade game helmet.

“The money’s been transferred. Go buy it now.” If the other party was truly the mysterious Killing Commander from his past life, then Chu You had struck gold.

Even if he wasn’t, it didn’t matter. Chu You didn’t feel like he’d lost anything. If he had to name one loss, it would be the valuable time spent.

“Thank you, boss.” The Killing Commander had an indescribable look in his eyes. Seeing the real-world currency transferred into his account, he suddenly felt that perhaps Chu You wasn’t impressed by his past glories but the ID in Celestial World. He found this very strange.

“My game name is Night Ghost. Add me as a friend after you log on, and set your spawn location to Liuying Village in Wangshan City.” Whether or not the other person was who he thought they were, Chu You had already decided he would be the team leader.

…

Shortly afterward, Chu You entered the game.

Chu You’s in-game avatar appeared again atop the dungeon. Watching more and more players gathering below, Chu You casually assigned his level-up attributes to Strength and put on a Wind Robe Battle Suit. His Attack Power immediately broke 100 and rose to 101.

With a slight grin, he was finally no longer half-naked. He glanced around the dungeon’s perimeter. Many players started moving towards him, trying to anticipate Chu You’s landing point to kill the red-named player.

Chu You ignored them, drank a potion, and jumped down.

As the large figure descended from above, especially Mage Players started attacking Chu You with bundling fireball attacks.

-9, -12, -15, -7.

A flurry of explosions seemed to detonate around Chu You, but his high Magic Resistance minimized spell damage. After landing, -200 fall damage appeared. Chu You immediately activated Sprint Mode and dashed up the hill. Behind him, a volley of fireballs whistled past.

Soon, Chu You was out of the Mage Players’ attack range. However, dozens of warriors, assassins, and other close-combat classes continued to pursue him from behind.

Heh, what a bunch of nobodies!

Chu You slowed down, turned around, and slashed, scaring the closest assassin with his high damage.

As Chu You moved, he slashed at another player.

Yohoho, you still want to flank me.

Seeing a warrior player with grand plans, Chu You scoffed and charged, striking with ‘Decapitation. The warrior player fell to his knees. Chu You stopped for a moment and coldly unleashed a Crescent Slash towards four players within a 3-meter radius. Sweeping Strike!

In the eyes of the other players, their astonishment was palpable. They hadn’t expected Chu You to have a group attack skill. Most importantly, his Attack Power was insanely high. One player even suffered -276 extreme damage, a critical fatal injury inflicted upon him.

Aiming at that unfortunate player, Chu You jabbed his knife from a 3-meter distance and quickly retreated. The player immediately screamed and fell. Chu You turned around and continued running. As he turned, Chu You’s face was brimming with mockery, an invisible taunt that deeply shocked the oncoming players.

The players abruptly stopped. Chu You’s damage and skills had intimidated them into halting pursuit.

Chu You zigzagged into the dense forest on the mountain, and the pursuing players eventually gave up. However, a few warriors and assassins continued their relentless pursuit, looking at Chu You as if he had murdered their whole families.

Not long after, screams echoed from the dense forest as the price for their obstinacy.

Chu You followed the terrain towards the level 6 area. There was no point in going back to the dungeon. Staying there would only attract Mage Players from above to harass him. Seeing the Red Name State on his status, Chu You decided to level up in the wilderness until level 10. That way, he could also get rid of the Red Name State.

He couldn’t neglect to do this because he had to face NPCs when changing classes. However, after the class change, Chu You flashed a sinister smile, then it wouldn’t matter anymore…

Before long, Chu You arrived at the level 6 wilderness area. The monsters here were dispersed. Efficient levelling required him to find a nest or concentrated area of Experience Monsters to leverage his skills and group attack abilities.

And so, Chu You pressed onwards with this plan in mind.

As Chu You was intently observing the terrain, he received a friend request.

System: Player Killing Commander has sent you a friend request. Do you accept?

When he saw the name, Chu You’s heart leapt. As expected, the other party was indeed the high-end assassin from his past life.

Stubborn…this is unbelievable. He hadn’t expected to recruit such a potential dragon king with his small recruitment effort.

Chu You accepted the friend request.

“Boss!” The other party greeted.

“Are you in the Novice Village now?”

“Yes, boss. Following your instructions now, boss.” The Killing Commander looked at his surroundings. For some reason, once he was in-game, this unassuming young man in real life suddenly took on an imposing aura in-game. He just naturally became a dragon in the game, his eyes taking on depth and intensity as he studied the unfamiliar game environment.

“Alright, there are 19 other people here just like you. I’ve chosen you to be the team leader, with a base salary +1000. You handle the management.” After finishing, Chu You sent the 19 game IDs to the other party.

“Thank you, boss.” Although his base salary had increased by 1000 and he was the small team leader now, there was a heavier responsibility. Besides finding time to level up, he had to scout areas for his wealthy boss and manage the team members. The pressure was immense.

The Killing Commander took a deep breath. Since the other side had given him the opportunity to enter Celestial World, he had to acknowledge the favour. When the other side had transferred the money without asking for anything in return, letting him fulfill his yearning to play the game, it was as if they had immense faith in him. This trust and goodwill deeply imprinted on the soft spot of the professional player’s heart.

He also had a job now with a decent salary, paid weekly. Just the base salary was 2000 yuan. It seemed like the second prime of his life was just around the corner!

All of these were bestowed by that mysterious rich boss. So, his only way to repay was to follow this master without complaint or regret. Now 30 years old, having seen and experienced a lot, he especially cherished this hard-won trust. He had to take great care of it.

“Boss, what are your instructions now?”

Chu You’s eyes flickered. Since the other party turned out to be that high-end assassin, he might as well put his strengths to good use!

“Now, I have a task for you. It’s to level up and get used to the game rules quickly. As for exploring unknown territories, leave that to the other 19. Your job is to manage them. You’ll receive an extra 20% of any valuable information you obtain.”

“Boss, don’t worry. I will remember this. But as for the 20% commission, forget it. A weekly salary of 2000 yuan is more than enough for me to live comfortably.”

“No more excuses. That’s what I’ve decided, and it’s non-negotiable. Get to work. It’s just going to get better!” Chu You spotted a level 7 Queen Bee in front and silently unsheathed his knife to begin his attack.

The Killing Commander looked at the list of the 19 names, then added each as a friend. Shortly after, he said to the members spread across the Great Yan Kingdom, “No matter where you are, gather at Liuying Village in Wangshan City now!”
