"That chair isn't bad! Take it away!"
"What's this on the wall? Are these gems?"
"This guy is so poor."
The lich felt like crying. Watching these guys actually use their weapons to pry the gems off his walls, he couldn't hold back anymore.
"Stop!"
Several cold gazes simultaneously turned toward him.
The lich shivered, forcing a face full of smiles. "Um, big brothers, if you... if you take everything away, what am I supposed to do?"
The group turned to look at Fang Zhiyi. The lich watched as the skeleton, who had been standing there the whole time, slowly walked up to him.
"You..."
Although the lich couldn't sense how strong this skeleton in front of him was, he had definitely experienced the strength of his subordinates. He shrank back a little.
"Take this."
The lich watched as the group swaggered away, then looked down at the parchment in his hand.
"An employment application form?" The lich was a bit puzzled, but after looking around his ruined lair, he gritted his teeth. He'd do it!
Lin Han really felt like he couldn't keep playing this game anymore. He didn't know what exactly had happened, but the Brotherhood of the Four Seas was sticking to him like a dog-skin plaster, impossible to shake off. In less than a month, Xiaorou had died over a hundred times, and he was only slightly better off, having died several dozen times. The most miserable one was Nameless; his luck was terrible, and all of his equipment had dropped upon death.
Young Master Yan of the Brotherhood of the Four Seas had put out the word: they would keep killing him until he quit the game!
However, facing this kind of adversity actually ignited Lin Han's fighting spirit.
"Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side. Do not bully the young and poor!" Gritting his teeth, he barged into an area filled with high-level monsters. There were no other players here for the time being. Although he would face more threats, he believed he would definitely find a way to improve himself.
The Demon Corridor officially entered a period of rapid development. Money Rat practically lived at the front gate of the Demon Corridor. Fang Zhiyi had instructed him to find a way to rent out the street stalls set up at the entrance. Money Rat could only use his own methods to promote them, as he really couldn't imagine who would come here to do business.
Facts proved that he was short-sighted. As the reputation of the Demon Corridor Group grew and their business scope expanded, many players started frequenting the area. The stalls that Money Rat originally thought would lose money were actually more than half rented out.
Only then did Money Rat realize the foresight of that Skeleton Sword Saint. The location of the Demon Corridor dungeon was exactly at the center point between several cities. To the north was the newly opened area, and to the south was the Black Forest. If this place served as a transit hub, its future was limitless! Not to mention that the number of clients coming with commissions was increasing, and there were also many small groups coming to accept bounty quests. This place had been completely revitalized by Fang Zhiyi.
A subordinate hurried over to give him some intelligence. Without overthinking it, Money Rat turned and walked into the dungeon. After all, he was now making a living under Fang Zhiyi, so of course he had to perform well when given the chance, right?
"The salary is three thousand gold coins a month, with a twenty percent commission on accepted orders. But let's get this straight beforehand: if the boss is dissatisfied and files a complaint, depending on the actual situation, your commission for the month will be deducted. In severe cases, you might even be fired. Do you accept?" The succubus was as enchanting as ever, and the banshee sitting opposite her nodded repeatedly.
"What is inside your head?! The boss hired you to clear new territory, and you just chased after the BOSS to fight it, while the boss's entire team got wiped out by mobs!! Didn't you even look?!" A demon in the next room was currently roaring.
"I had no choice! That guy ran really fast. If I didn't stick to him, he would have escaped!" A Triangle Head replied, feeling very wronged.
"Escaped? Wouldn't he come back if he escaped? The boss died! The boss's equipment dropped all over the ground!"
"Supervisor, this really isn't my fault."
"Didn't the boss train you guys? No matter the situation, prioritize the boss's safety! They are the ones paying! You went to chase the target, but what's the use of you catching up alone?! Did you want to take the equipment? Huh?!"
"Well, I got a bit hot-headed at the time..."
"Hot-headed my ass! They already complained! We even have to compensate them for their equipment! Your commission for this month is deducted!"
Triangle Head left the demon's office dejectedly.
Seeing Money Rat, the demon smiled and greeted him.
Money Rat responded, feeling a bit dazed. These NPCs were too intelligent... exactly the same as in his real world...
As he stepped toward the hall where Fang Zhiyi was, the demon's angry roar came from behind again.
"You killed the boss??? They rushed you a few times and you killed the boss? You don't want to work here anymore, do you???"
"My Lord, this is the financial report for this month. I thought I should reconcile the accounts with you." Money Rat remained clear about his position.
Fang Zhiyi casually tossed it to the side.
"Um, My Lord, I saw some unfamiliar faces. Are they..."
Fang Zhiyi waved his hand, signaling him to relax. "Oh, part-timers. You know, although everyone has their own minds now, fools still make up the majority. Occasionally, there are some smart ones who know what they should do, so I specifically opened an interview channel."
Money Rat looked at Fang Zhiyi's skeletal face. Was this guy really a virtual monster generated by the game?
Even his own brain might not be able to keep up with this!
"The next auction will probably be a bit delayed. There aren't many good things left right now," Fang Zhiyi said.
Money Rat was a bit torn but still spoke up, "Um, My Lord, there's something I'm very concerned about. Although it's just a rumor, I heard that several large guilds in White Cloud City are communicating privately... It seems they want to stir up some trouble."
"Oh?"
"The equipment you sold them before, as well as the boosting services, have made their strength increase rapidly. I think you need to consider this carefully, My Lord. After all..." He didn't say the last part out loud, after all, you are a BOSS, and they are players.
Fang Zhiyi let out a hoarse laugh.
"Right, there's one more piece of intel. We've opened a lot of branch stores now, and thanks to you... our intelligence gathering is quite fast. It's news about that Lin Han..." Money Rat changed the subject.
Fang Zhiyi frowned, even though he didn't have eyebrows.
Little Hei clicked his tongue in wonder. "This cyber Heavenly Dao really favors the male lead. Even in this state, it's still handing out cheats?" The intelligence showed that Lin Han had a fortuitous encounter. He stumbled upon two BOSSes fighting to the death and took the opportunity to reap the benefits. Not only did he gain experience, but he also obtained quite a few top-tier pieces of equipment.
After he gifted a few pieces of equipment to Young Master Yan of the Brotherhood of the Four Seas, the guild finally revoked his wanted bounty.
As for Lin Han, he was now purchasing a guild token within the city, wanting to establish a guild of his own.
Fang Zhiyi smacked his lips. "It's nice to have good luck..."
The next day, a massive piece of news exploded across the world.
The Demon Corridor Group had initiated a siege battle!
No, to be exact, it was the boss of the Demon Corridor Group, that skeleton, who led his subordinates and charged into the city. The caught-off-guard guards were intercepted by the BOSSes in the rear, while the city's most elite Demon Slaying Army was pinned down by over a dozen BOSSes.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!

s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan.
