On Monday at 8 AM, before reaching the office, Ren Duoxi received a call from the Business Director.
"What? Cancel the collaboration? We’ve already signed the contract; how can they just back out?"
Those so-called High-End Clients were merely actors I had recruited.
One by one, they called in with various excuses to breach the contract and demand refunds.
Just as I finished dealing with the client calls, Ren Duoxi received a payment reminder from the bank.
"How could there be an issue with the risk assessment? Didn’t we say everything was going smoothly last week?"
After he finished shouting at the Chief Financial Officer, his secretary reminded him to check his phone for the Local Financial News:
"Breaking! A tech company suspected of financial fraud."
"Exclusive report: A tech company owned by Ren has a broken funding chain."
"Local investors: We’ve been scammed."
…
A day later, Ren Duoxi's company account was urgently frozen, and several major clients jointly sued him for fraud.
A crowd of investor lawyers quickly gathered outside the company, demanding to see Ren Duoxi.
The security couldn’t stop them.
Ren Duoxi spent the entire day locked in his office, slumped in his chair.
"How did it suddenly turn into this... I’ve worked so hard for so long, invested all my savings, and now it’s all over..."
At that moment, my detector indicated that his Despair Value had reached the threshold.
1100/100!
I needed to harvest 1010 points of Despair Value; I was just a little short!
The harvesting method had already been arranged three days prior.
I contacted Chen Yuan, Ren Duoxi's long-time rival.
He had just gone bankrupt and was about to jump off a building when I stopped him. I revealed to him the "truth"—
Ren Duoxi had slandered his technology in front of multiple investors, bribed government officials to hijack his projects, spread rumors to damage his reputation... and even mocked him privately, claiming his technology was worthless.
The security guards at the Ren Duoxi had all fled, leaving him alone in the office of Galaxy Tower 1708.
At 8 PM, Chen Yuan indeed appeared at the entrance of the Ren Duoxi. He was wearing a loose trench coat, and his right hand was tightly gripping something in his pocket. I used the remote to unlock the company’s door, and Chen Yuan paused for a moment before striding inside. He headed straight for the office of Ren Duoxi.
Seeing Chen Yuan, Ren Duoxi was taken aback. "President Chen? What are you..." Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Yuan pulled out a fruit knife and lunged at him.
Five minutes later, Chen Yuan staggered out of Galaxy Tower, his bloodstained trench coat discarded in a trash bin. Inside the office, Ren Duoxi lay in a pool of blood, having been stabbed over twenty times in the chest and abdomen. I stood beside Ren Duoxi's corpse, watching as his soul gradually floated away.
Final Despair Value: 1200/100. Harvest successful. At last, I had gathered enough Despair Value! I could return to the living world!
Wangchuan Station remained as eerie as ever. After submitting Ren Duoxi's Despair Value, I couldn't wait for Yin Cha to take him away and eagerly knocked on window number three again. The little girl was idly playing with her nails.
"In the past three months, I've submitted a total of 2293 points of Despair Value! That's an overachievement! Quickly exchange my full amount for my 21 years and 3 days of Yang Shou!"
The little girl finally looked up, her smile gradually widening. She bent down to retrieve a stamp from under the counter and suddenly leaned forward to stamp it heavily on my forehead. A wave of excruciating pain surged through my body.
I stumbled backward and collided with the glass wall behind me. In the blurred reflection, I saw a strange QR Code flickering on my forehead. A cheerful voice from beside me chimed in, "Welcome aboard, new hunter!"
