"This is just too cool."

"The special effects in this browser game may be crude, but the artwork genuinely saves the day."

Wang Linchi admired his nine heavens supreme Dragon King mount that had evolved from a donkey and his phoenix nirvana divine feather wings that had evolved from a chicken's wing. Once you turned off the trashy special effects, they were actually quite pleasing to the eye.

Apart from that, things like Bone's Points, the Source of Spirit Power, the Tree of Enlightenment, and the other four Levelling Points he picked had been maxed out too, dramatically increasing these three attributes.

"What a shame, I don't have enough Abyss Crystals, or else I would max out everything."

These weren't the only Levelling Points available, but his Abyss Crystals were insufficient to max them all out.

However, the Game System would surely not let him suffer losses. Despite the amount Wang Linchi poured in, it was all transformed from Abyss Crystals. Essentially, the Abyssal Demons were the ones providing resources. Maybe the Game System even collected a fee while assisting with the transformation process.

As for why they were divided into so many Levelling Points, Wang Linchi could only guess. It was probably because a game character couldn't bear too much power, so it had to be diverted.

That's why browser games where you can pay to get ahead are the best choices. Just tweak them a bit, change the pay-to-win points into Levelling Points for diverting power, and then the game character can withstand power it couldn't handle before, making it more formidable.

After maxing out nine Levelling Points, he directly advanced to the top of the leaderboards for these nine categories.

Ye Tian had gone to take care of some business and was also converting Abyss Crystals into actual power. However, even if he wanted to expedite it, his conversion process would still take some time. Wang Linchi was only able to do it so quickly because he had a helper bot to Hang Up for him. It wouldn't have been this efficient manually.

This time, Wang Linchi's reputation surged once again, though the only drawback was that it was notoriety. Mainly because his treatment of the Third Military Group had left a bad taste in people's mouths. This matter was impossible to hide. When the four military groups had initially merged, members of the Third Military Group complained, and the news subsequently spread. Combined with manipulation from certain individuals, his reputation was utterly ruined.

As for this, Wang Linchi could only express sincere gratitude.

If it weren't for these people fanning the flames, the charging speed of his Cycle Remnant Mark wouldn't be this fast.

Unfortunately, all they could do was blabber. Nobody could cause Wang Linchi any substantial harm or financial loss; on the contrary, they inadvertently contributed to his benefits.

That's why Wang Linchi didn't bother paying much attention to it. He wasn't competing for world domination, nor did he need to win people's hearts. He only needed fame, regardless of whether it was good or bad.

Having a notorious reputation also had its perks. Initially, some people had the audacity to approach him, but now nobody dared to seek him out, leaving him in peace.

A good person might find themselves targeted, but people wouldn't dare act so recklessly towards a 'bad' one.

After checking everything once again, he put his unwanted items up for trade. This time, he wasn't asking for Abyss Crystals or game currency, but rather Real-life Currency.

This was for the final balance payment to the Nutrient Solution company.

Until now, most Players were still using game currency. Abyss Crystals were considered Rare materials, and you couldn't trade for them with ordinary items—unless you were like Wang Linchi, selling Equipment Fragments.

Being able to transact using Real-life Currency was actually more favored by influential Players. After all, Players had only three ways to obtain game currency: monster drops, quest rewards, or selling goods. Commerce for profit was suppressed by the Game System, which directly determined item values. No matter how high you set your trading price, the Game System wouldn't recognize it if it exceeded the set value.

Furthermore, money couldn't be transferred without a reason; there had to be a legitimate trade. However, the trade value had to be appropriate. For example, you couldn't charge an exorbitant price for a level-one piece of equipment. This system was in place to ensure currency stability.

The essence of the currency wasn't for financial speculation but for making Players stronger. If someone took all your money, you wouldn't even have enough to buy potions, so how could you become stronger?

Of course, gifting was also possible, but only after stating a reason and obtaining the Game System's approval and validation. This, too, was subject to regulation.

Regulating this way indeed prevented the rich from getting richer.

Guilds also had public funds that could be donated to. However, purchases made with these funds were also subject to monitoring by the Game System. If any abuse of power was detected, the guild would be punished.

Fortunately, the Game System hadn't completely repressed this; using Real-life Currency was still allowed.

At first glance, it might seem like using Real-life Currency was detrimental to the game's currency, but their values were different.

Game currency was one of the derivatives of the Power of Order, used for combating the Abyss. To the Game System, Real-life Currency was merely a string of useless code and paper notes. If this costless method could be used to make a Player stronger, it was absolutely worth it.

Moreover, as the Game System's control over reality grew stronger, Real-life Currency was continuously devaluing, gradually leading to a transition where game currency would become primary.

After Wang Linchi had finished setting up his stall, he logged off straight away.

When he logged off, his phone kept beeping with incoming messages; each purchase meant money was deposited into his savings account. Upon seeing this, he promptly put his phone on silent.

"I still have some time. I should be able to sort out the Nutrient Solution today."

A week ago, Wang Linchi had commissioned an agency. They promised to finish within seven days, and he didn't pester them daily. He simply didn't have the time.

On the morning of the seventh day, coinciding with the end of an event, Wang Linchi could finally check on their progress peacefully.

The scheduled time was three in the afternoon. It was only noon, which meant he still had three hours, more than enough time for Wang Linchi to prepare.

Did Ye Tian leave home? Wang Linchi suddenly realized.

Ye Tian was certainly not online. They were friends in the game, and a quick glance at the friend list could confirm that.

Where did he go and what matter is he dealing with? Wang Linchi's expression turned serious.

As a Reincarnator, whatever he does will inevitably influence the future, possibly even some major events.

Come to think of it, after Ye Tian had his enlightenment, he seems to have shifted his focus from pursuing a harem to advancing his career.

Wang Linchi noticed this blind spot, which was a good thing for him. After all, with the protagonist shouldering the disasters, his life became much easier.

I hope that in the next world, I won't have to be the one standing out again. Wang Linchi thought.

He never thought this world could resist the invasion of the Abyss.

If it could, there wouldn't be such a constant retreat until now.

After finishing up some more tasks, Wang Linchi got up to make some tea.

As the client, and a major one at that, the agency would definitely come to him.

They were punctual, arriving exactly at three.

They handed him a large bag of documents and meticulously explained everything.

The reason for this level of detail wasn't their professionalism, but because Wang Linchi had yet to make the final payment.

Otherwise, how could he ensure they did their job properly? True, Wang Linchi hadn't skimped on the initial payments, but the bulk of the money—the final payment—was still outstanding. They had no choice but to work diligently.

"Hmm, you're all elite professionals. I'm quite satisfied with this collaboration," Wang Linchi said, nodding.

Hearing this, everyone inwardly sighed with relief, figuring this signaled the forthcoming final payment.

However, Wang Linchi then added, "But, while the documents are in order, we still need to conduct a field inspection of my company's situation, right?" Wang Linchi wasn't about to trust the presented documents blindly and make the final payment just like that.

If they tried to dupe him later, arguing would be a hassle. After all, they had a legal department and, once the money was in their hands, could easily stall him.

"Of course, Boss Wang, rest assured, everything has been done as per the contract," the project manager hurriedly reassured him, instructing his subordinates to get the car ready to take Wang Linchi to inspect the site.

Ye Tian got out of the car with a backpack, having just arrived at the airport.

Occasionally, memories of inheriting the Fate Devil God's legacy would flash through his mind. His own memories, from birth to death, were absent; they paled in comparison to the profound legacy.

System, can you detect it? Ye Tian silently called to the Game System in his mind.

[All functions are normal. No anomalies detected as described by the Player. Unable to perform effective updates or targeting.]

Sigh... no wonder the Demon God was so terrifying in my past life. Even the Game System couldn't handle it. Ye Tian felt somewhat helpless, especially considering this was just a newly hatched Demon God.

Fortunately, the Game System had layered multiple protections on him. If the Fate Devil God tried to possess him upon awakening, it would find itself facing a fortified hedgehog.

While the Game System was unable to find the strand of fate the Fate Devil God had left on him, it could provide Ye Tian with sufficient protective measures to flush the entity out. Once the Fate Devil God's traces were caught by the Game System, it could be forcibly executed using the Power of Order.
