Chapter 40: Dear master, hello

Over 20,000 unread messages lay in Mike's voicemail, and the number was still skyrocketing with no signs of stopping! 

Mike had no choice but to set his Lone Wolf badge aside, boot up his computer, and log into the Wolf's Den forum.

As soon as he entered the forum, Mike saw a post highlighted in red and bold, flaming with attention.

Hot: [Paid equipment appraisal, including hidden perks, price negotiable...]

"Strange, wasn't this post published a while ago?" Mike remembered clearly; he had wanted to make some money by appraising equipment to lift the lineage restrictions of the Inhibition Orb. After posting, the response was lukewarm, with only Charlotte reaching out to him.

"Let's see what's going on." Mike scrolled through the post rapidly.
