Chapter 661: Provocation in the Game

Yu Wenlong called the company's new employees together and scolded them severely, then had everyone re-sign the confidentiality agreement.

After venting, he returned to his office to play games again, playing all day and even forgetting to write the game experience report that Chen Yang had assigned.

Regarding this, Chen Yang did not lose his temper again, merely reminding him to lead by example and set a good example for the company's employees.

After everyone got off work, Chen Yang summoned Luo Hao to the company and had him install monitoring software on every computer, so that if another leak occurred, the source could be traced directly.

Moreover, Chen Yang looked into the Legend private server game and account that Yu Wenlong was playing, then had Luo Hao contact the server's owner and directly spend one million to buy their server.

That night, Chen Yang studied the gameplay of the Legend private server at home all night, only being dragged back to bed by Chu Ning at two a. m.

However, the next morning at dawn, he got up again to continue researching the private server.

"At this rate, Yu Wenlong might not even be addicted yet—you're the one getting sucked in." Seeing Chen Yang so obsessed with the game, Chu Ning worriedly reminded him.

"It's fine!" Chen Yang said while playing, to Chu Ning: "Occasional relaxation lets you start new work in better shape."

Chu Ning, seeing Chen Yang already hooked, sighed: "It seems the online rumors are true—you really are preparing to invest in the gaming industry!"

Chen Yang nodded and said: "Games are the industry most favored by the younger generation, with enormous future commercial potential. From a business standpoint, they are indeed worth investing in."

Chu Ning reminded Chen Yang: "As far as I know, online games have a poor reputation. Many people abandon their studies and lose their jobs just to play. If you invest in games, be careful not to ruin the reputation you've built through charity."

Chen Yang did not fully agree with Chu Ning's view, smiling and said: "The essence of games is entertainment; only those with weak self‑control become addicted. And for those lacking self‑control, even if you don't let them play games, they'll develop other bad habits."

Chu Ning thought for a moment, finding some sense in Chen Yang's words, but she stuck to her stance: "Dear, I can't control how others act. I just hope you don't damage your own reputation by investing in games."

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention." Chen Yang knew Chu Ning was concerned about him and decided not to argue further.

Seeing that it was still early, he first accompanied Chu Ning to breakfast, then took her to the Common People's Foundation. After that, he drove back home.

After arriving home, he immediately turned on his computer and logged into the Legend private server.

Just after entering the game interface, he saw a familiar name now in Earth City Safe Zone.

"Legend's most handsome? Shameless!" Chen Yang first issued a textual provocation against Yu Wenlong's game nickname.

"Dream of six hundred million girls? You're even more shameless!" Yu Wenlong immediately launched a counterattack without hesitation.

Seeing Yu Wenlong take the bait, Chen Yang continued typing: "Kid, I'm just stating the facts. As for you, you're probably so ugly in real life you dare not show your face, so you came to the game seeking self‑comfort."

"Damn, you're the one who's too ugly to show your face. If you've got the guts, come practice outside the safe zone—I'll beat you until you can't live on your own!" After typing, Yu Wenlong directly controlled his game character to run outside the safe zone and wait.

He chose the warrior class, and Chen Yang also chose warrior. The two stood outside the safe zone and began hacking at each other.

Yu Wenlong looked like a veteran player; after a bout of slashing, he started moving around and pulling Chen Yang's game character.

However, Chen Yang had already modified his equipment attributes in advance. With the same gear, his attack and defense were each twenty points higher than Yu Wenlong's game character.

So, no matter how flashy Yu Wenlong's footwork, he was ultimately knocked down by Chen Yang, and even his top‑tier weapon, the Judgment Staff, dropped.

What's more unexpected, the weapon was picked up by a naked alt account. After picking it up, the other party ran straight back to the safe zone, and only after Yu Wenlong's game character respawned did he start typing.

"Pay me two hundred bucks and I'll return the weapon."

Yu Wenlong said nothing, just stood in the safe zone in a daze.

Chen Yang worried that Yu Wenlong couldn't take the blow and would switch to a new private server, so he called Cheng Xiao Xiao.

"Manager Cheng, I have something today and can't come in; you go supervise everyone's work!"

"Chairman, isn't Yu Wenlong in charge of the gaming side? Why aren't you looking for him?"

"I don't have Yu Wenlong's number saved; you pass along the message!"

"Alright, then when will you come over?"

"I don't know; if I'm too busy, I might not come over at all."

"Okay, then I'll first convey your instructions."

After Cheng Xiao Xiao's call ended, Chen Yang's gaze returned to the game screen. He noticed Yu Wenlong was still online, and that alt account was also online; he guessed the two were privately chatting about a deal.

To test his guess, Chen Yang typed another provocation on the public channel aimed at Yu Wenlong.

"That Legend's biggest loser, still fighting? If not, I'm leaving!"

"Don't go, I'll be right back!" Seeing Chen Yang about to leave, Yu Wenlong's character immediately replied.

After another five minutes, Yu Wenlong finally stepped out of the safe zone, now holding a Judgment Staff—the very weapon Chen Yang had just dropped.

Thus, the two began hacking at each other again.

Having learned from the previous PK loss, this time Yu Wenlong gave up maneuvering and went head‑to‑head with Chen Yang.

But he quickly noticed that his health was dropping faster than Chen Yang's.

When his character was about to die, Yu Wenlong pressed the return button, thus avoiding another equipment‑drop risk.

"Damn, are you using a cheat?"

"What do you mean? Making excuses because you can't win?"

"Hmph, if you're not cheating, why does your damage exceed mine with the same gear?"

"Looks like you're not only handsome but also severely nearsighted—didn't you see I'm wearing top‑tier gear?"

……

Yu Wenlong's character entered a daze state again.

Five minutes later, he began typing on the public channel to purchase top‑tier gear.

Seeing this, Chen Yang also typed to buy equipment.

However, for those private messages discussing equipment trades with him, he merely typed to raise the price. Once the other party chose to sell to him, he started playing dumb.

This server is now his. Spending money on gear in his own server—unless he's gone mad.

After half an hour of nonsense, Cheng Xiao Xiao's phone suddenly rang.

"Chairman, Yu Wenlong this kid has gone nuts—he's actually spending money to buy gear in the game."

"Manager Cheng, if it's for a deeper understanding of the game, spending a little money is fine."

"Chairman, he's already spent five thousand, and it's coming from the company account!"
