103: Chapter 103, "Bully Monopolizes the Dungeon?", was completely blocked.

As Lin Zhe's group continued along the official road toward Holy Light City, on the earthen slope of Luofeng Village, Lin Chen was sitting under the Old Maple Tree with his legs crossed, holding a jar of Spiritual Honey.

A pale golden light screen hung before him.

It wasn't for event auditing.

Nor was it for dungeon adjustments.

It was the complaint channel for the entire server's Novice Area.

Since his Archon authority had expanded to all Novice Areas across the server, this channel had almost never stopped. Some complained about kill-stealing, some about malicious door-blocking, and others about scamming at stalls.

Lin Chen scooped out Spiritual Honey while reading in his milky little voice.

"Someone in Bailu Village is scamming newbies for medicine money; they've already been banned."

"There are three bad guys blocking the teleport point in Heishi Village; they were dragged away yesterday too."

"This one is for verbal abuse—muted for three days."

With a tap of his small hand, the complaints vanished one after another.

Lin Yueyao, who had been left in Luofeng Village by Ling Xi to be looked after, was currently napping against a cushion, clutching the shrunken high priests scepter. Several Elf Maidservants stood nearby, not daring to breathe loudly.

Just then, the complaint light screen suddenly jolted violently.

Dozens of red complaints surged up at the same time.

The source was entirely from Qingyan Village.

Lin Chen's little brows furrowed, and his honey spoon came to a halt.

"Eh?"

He swiped his hand, and those dozens of complaints instantly expanded.

"Reporting the Qingyan Village guild Tiger Alliance for monopolizing the Wolfs Den dungeon!"

"To enter the dungeon, you have to pay a two-hundred copper coin entry fee first; if you don't pay, they beat you!"

"The Green-tier equipment boots my brother farmed were stolen by them, and they're even camping his corpse!"

"The official inspector came but didn't care; I heard they took money from the Tiger Alliance!"

"Please, Little Archon Lin, help us get justice!"

One after another.

Every line was filled with grievance.

There were even recorded images attached at the end.

In front of the dungeon entrance, over a dozen players with the [Tiger Alliance] prefix were blocking the way, weapons held out. Anyone who wanted to enter had to pay two hundred copper coins first. Those who didn't pay were kicked out directly.

A solo player assassin had just come out of the dungeon, and a Green-tier short dagger had dropped into his bag. He was immediately pinned down and killed by three people. As soon as the drop fell, it was snatched by the Tiger Alliance members.

What was even more disgusting was that an account looking like an official inspector stood nearby, not only failing to intervene but actually turning his back to pretend he didn't see.

After Lin Chen finished watching, his little face gradually darkened.

"Charging entry fees."

"Stealing equipment."

"And even daring to bribe official people."

"They are rotten to the core."

As he spoke, his small hand had already tapped the authority panel.

Buzz—

The management authority for all Novice Areas across the server instantly spread out.

The map of Qingyan Village, the player list, dungeon entry records, guild chats, and transaction logs all jumped out in one breath.

Tiger Alliance Guild Leader: [Tigerfang Mad Blade].

Seventeen core members.

Two hundred and thirteen ordinary members.

In the last seven days, there were one hundred and ninety-six abnormal entry records for the Wolfs Den dungeon.

Three hundred and forty-two records of forced charging.

Two hundred and seventy-one instances of malicious PK.

One hundred and nine instances of snatching drops.

Additionally, there were several very conspicuous transactions.

The Tiger Alliance Vice Leader's alt account had transferred maple coins and copper coins to a certain official inspector five times in a row.

The total amount added up to exactly five thousand copper coins.

The evidence was overwhelming.

Lin Chen's little face puffed up as he looked.

"They really did buy him off."

"Do you think I'm blind?"

In the next second, he slapped his small hand down.

Boom!

A golden rule light screen spanned across all Novice Areas of the server, popping up before the eyes of all players.

[Server-wide Announcement: Upon investigation, the Qingyan Village guild 'Tiger Alliance' has long monopolized the novice dungeon 'Wolfs Den', maliciously charging solo players entry fees, and has repeatedly engaged in malicious PK and snatching of dropped equipment.]

[Furthermore, it has been established that relevant members of the Tiger Alliance have bribed an official inspector to cover up their violations.]

As soon as the announcement came out, the world channel went silent first.

The next second, it completely exploded.

"Holy crap? Someone in Qingyan Village actually dared to commit crimes against the wind?"

"The Tiger Alliance is finished!"

"Little Archon Lin has personally stepped in!"

Before the players could even finish spamming, the second announcement fell.

[Punishments are as follows:]

[1. The seventeen core members of the Tiger Alliance are permanently stripped of entry permissions for all Novice Areas server-wide.]

[2. The two hundred and thirteen ordinary members of the Tiger Alliance are limited to 1 entry per week for the Wolfs Den dungeon, effective indefinitely.]

[3. All proceeds from the violations involved will be recovered and returned to the victimized solo players.]

[4. All registered players in Qingyan Village will receive a permanent +10% drop rate compensation.]

Boom!

The entire Qingyan Village simply exploded with excitement.

At the dungeon entrance, the Tiger Alliance members who were still blocking people turned pale instantly.

"What?!"

"Permanently stripped of Novice Area permissions server-wide?!"

"I can't enter the village anymore?!"

Scarlet prompts popped up before the eyes of those seventeen core members simultaneously.

[You have been permanently banned from entering all Novice Areas on the server.]

[Teleportation permissions disabled.]

[Regional benefits zeroed out.]

Two members who were currently charging fees at the Wolfs Den entrance tried to back away, but their bodies were already locked by golden rule light. The next second, they were kicked directly out of the Qingyan Village boundaries.

The other ordinary members nearby weren't faring much better.

The dungeon panel turned gray, leaving only a single line of a new prompt.

[Your remaining entries for the Wolfs Den dungeon: 1/1 this week.]

"Damn it!"

"Once a week?"

"How are we supposed to make money by power-leveling others now!"

The solo players in Qingyan Village who had been suppressed for many days were stunned at first, then went into a frenzy of joy.

Beams of pale golden compensation light fell from the sky, landing on the heads of all registered players.

[You have gained a permanent +10% drop rate.]

"It really was added!"

"Permanent!"

"Long live Little Archon Lin!"

"Brothers, charge into the dungeon!"

The solo players who had been huddled at the Wolfs Den entrance not daring to say a word instantly swarmed forward.

"Line up! Line up!"

"Today we finally don't have to pay an entry fee!"

"Who was it that stole my gear just now? You better stay right there!"

Some people even began spamming the world channel on the spot.

"The solo players of Qingyan Village thank Little Archon Lin!"

"It's been ten days! Finally, someone is looking out for us!"

"If anyone says complaints are useless from now on, I'll lose it with them!"

"The Lin father and son really stand up for solo players!"

The world channel was directly filled with messages of gratitude.

The small guilds in other Novice Areas that had been secretly copying the Tiger Alliance and preparing to establish monopolies were all scared witless.

A guild leader in Bailu Village immediately called back everyone who was blocking dungeon doors.

"Withdraw! Withdraw quickly!"

"Stop charging entry fees! Refund them all!"

A power-leveling boss in Heishi Village had just hung up a fee sign. Upon seeing the announcement, his hand shook, and the sign fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Charge my ass!"

"If I keep charging, I'll lose my life!"

Two medium-sized guilds that had been discussing how to monopolize novice dungeons sent out notices in their guild channels overnight.

"Cancel the monopoly rules!"

"From now on, anyone who dares to bully solo players, block dungeons, or snatch drops will be kicked out of the guild immediately!"

"Everyone behave, don't go looking for death!"

On the earthen slope, Lin Chen watched the stream of thank-you messages on the world channel, and his little face finally relaxed.

He scooped a spoonful of Spiritual Honey and gave a milky little huff.

"That's more like it."

"Dungeons are for everyone to farm."

"They aren't for bad things to block and collect money from."

After saying that, he raised his hand and added a new rule.

[Automatic queuing mechanism for all Novice Area dungeons server-wide has been strengthened.]

[Blocking doors, charging fees, and maliciously snatching drops are prohibited.]

[Violators will be punished severely.]

As the rule fell, the world channel erupted in another wave of cheers.

On the other end of the official road, Lin Zhe, who was heading toward Holy Light City, also had a feedback notification from his authority pop up gently before him.

He glanced at it, and the corner of his mouth curved up imperceptibly.

Xing Jianwan, noticing his expression, asked in a low voice.

"Someone in Falling Maple's direction had bad luck again?"

Lin Zhe said indifferently, "Lin Chen just dealt with a bully guild."

Ling Xi, holding Lin Yueyao, gave a soft smile.

"With him staying in Falling Maple, solo players will feel more and more at ease."

The official road ahead continued to extend.

Meanwhile, in the Novice Areas behind them, under the rules of the Lin father and son, fewer and fewer people dared to overstep.
