There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

"Even if you, President, want to get rid of your relatives, there's no need to go through all this trouble. Just give me the word, and I'll take care of it for you."

At this moment, Li Peiqi seemed to transform into the Hurried King, with just three characters written all over her face.

Hurried. Hurried. Hurried.

Her face, which was once as lovely as the bright moon, now crumpled up due to extreme anxiety, forgetting all about managing her expressions as a beauty.

When a woman forgets about managing her expressions, you know she's really got some serious problems.

After eating chips on the horizon and watching that live broadcast.

She internally marked Chen Yi as an SSSSSSSSSSS level threat. It's not just about being enemies, if possible, she would prefer not to encounter him for the rest of her life.

But... in the end, out of the many years of friendship with the President, she steeled herself and went to Blue Star Hell to deliver a letter to Chen Yi.

That was already her limit.

But now, President, you're actually starting to prepare to deal with Chen Yi.

Seeing the President didn't speak, just furrowing his eyebrows as rigid as if constipated, Li Peiqi fell silent for a while, then emotionlessly took off her badge from her chest: "Screw it, I'm quitting the guild. You all are too scary."

"The biggest dream of my life is just to lie in bed carefree, eating chips and watching TV dramas."

"And you just have to throw me into a living hell."

"I really don't understand you guys. Even if we don't use Chen Yi to wipe out other planets, would it really slow us down that much to just go level up on the maps honestly?"

"So what if it's a bit slower? Do you really have to put yourselves in such perilous situations?"

"Humph!"

After a long while, the President of the Black Dragon Guild finally let out a long sigh, his expression complex as he shook his head: "You don't understand men."

"Men and women have different traits."

"Most women, when they notice a guy looking at them, will feel secretly pleased, thinking that they must be dressed well today, or that someone has noticed a particular detail about them."

"That's a woman's trait."

"Whereas most men, when facing wealth that's floating on a crisis, tend to think they're the Child of Heaven's Will, who can successfully evade danger and take all that wealth into their arms."

"That's the inexplicable confidence of men."

"An average Joe will believe that if he were to become a pirate, he'd certainly be the last man standing, accumulating a vast fortune and becoming the Pirate King."

"Men never believe they will be the ones to die."

"In the face of wealth, they always feel like they'll be the protagonist, cutting through brambles and avoiding all dangers, grabbing the final prize."

"And those who are able to sit in this meeting hall have essentially taken this path in life, which only reinforces their belief that they are the Child of Heaven's Will."

"In many people's eyes, no matter how strong Chen Yi is, it doesn't matter. After all, even if he's very strong, the crisis he brings is nothing more than death."

"Without experiencing such crisis a hundred or so times, they're not qualified to sit inside this meeting room."

"..."

Li Peiqi, her face full of speechlessness, looked at the usually very composed President: "So, President, you also think you're the protagonist?"

"No."

The President of the Black Dragon Guild shook his head: "I've thought it over carefully just now, and all of us coming together, scheming on how to use Chen Yi to deal with other planets, we seem more like a bunch of villains."

"It feels a bit ominous."

"So I'm backing out this time. We'll stay out of this matter."

"Humph!"

Li Peiqi let out a long sigh of relief and patted her chest: "Wise decision, President! This will be the most correct decision of your life. Being an enemy of that kind of person is too terrifying."

"You have to trust a woman's sixth sense, it's best not to get close to Chen Yi."

"Too dangerous."

"Hmm."

...

Time trickled by.

When they came to their senses, it was already the late night of July 31st.

22:12.

In just over one more hour, it would be August.

Tuberculosis Rabbit lay listlessly on the rooftop of Yancheng Garden District, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, murmuring in a daze: "Feels like it's been a long time since I've had hot pot."

"What, craving it?"

Chen Yi sat on a chair nearby, trimming his nails. He once obtained a prop, a nail clipper that would never cut the flesh.

In most cases, the prop was a mere trifle and useless.

But in a few specific situations, like now, the prop seemed very practical.

On the rooftop, there were only the two of them, Sword Without End, Jiaye, and the others were staying in their rooms.

"Kind of."

Tuberculosis Rabbit licked the corner of his mouth, a longing in his throat: "Let's get more tripe and duck intestines; I haven't had something spicy in a while."

"I just don't really want to go to the hot pot restaurant. I wonder if it's possible to have the restaurant deliver here, so we can eat on the rooftop?"

"I'll ask for you."

Chen Yi contacted the owner of the hot pot restaurant on his list.

The response was quick and straightforward, practically instant.

Being the number one person in the world, also an investor, it's not just about delivering a hot pot restaurant to the rooftop. Even if you were in hell, they'd have to send people to bring the hot pot to hell.

...

Very quickly, in just twenty minutes.

The steaming spicy broth was already quietly set up in front of Chen Yi and the others, surrounded by a variety of fresh ingredients.

They also provided various small dishes for preparing dipping sauces.

There were also drinks, bowls, utensils, and napkins.

```

Make the best use of everything.

It was clear that the boss had put a lot of thought into this, and Chen Yi had noticed that the owner of the hotpot restaurant occasionally transferred him several thousand Points, with a note for "profit sharing".

Although he had never asked for it.

But the hotpot restaurant owner seemed to understand the situation quite well and shared profits weekly.

"Really nice."

The Tuberculosis Rabbit quickly picked up a crisp slice of beef tripe coated in red oil with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, puffing a few breaths to rapidly cool it down, then chewed contentedly.

"This tripe is tender, perfectly crunchy. Yi, you've got to try it."

Without waiting for Chen Yi's response, he hastily picked up a slice of lamb roll, blew on it lightly, and stuffed it into his mouth.

After chewing a few times, he swallowed and followed it with a swig of chilled Sour Plum Soup.

The taste.

Indescribable.

Tonight, there would be no sleep again. On the rooftop of the adjacent high-rise, a pair of old smokers stood, cigarettes in mouth, gazing up at the night sky.

Finally... after tonight, they would no longer need to worry about suddenly dropping dead from a smoke.

An hour or so passed quickly in the enjoyment of hotpot.

「Ding!」

A sudden notification sound grabbed everyone's attention!

「Game Update Announcement!」

「3. Added a "Lucky Draw" feature, starting in August, a prize pool will be added.

There are three prize categories: grand prize, second prize, and consolation prize.

The prize pool is shared among all players. 100 Points for one draw, and until the grand prize is won by a player, all Points spent on the draw will continuously upgrade the prize in the pool.

There will only be one grand prize winner.

This means that as long as no one wins the grand prize, the items for the grand prize and second prize in the pool will keep upgrading.

The initial grand prize is a C-grade Prop, which can be upgraded to a maximum of a B-grade Prop.

The player who wins the grand prize will receive the title of Child of Heaven's Will for one day!

And this title will be forcibly worn; the player cannot choose whether to wear it or not.」

「4: Added the "Deadly Tower" feature. From August, players can form teams to enter the Deadly Tower, the limited-time map for August.

Players without a Squad Creation Order can also enter by forming a team or as a single player, and the system will automatically match teammates.

Each team has a limit of 5 players.

Once a team of 5 is assembled, they will enter the Deadly Tower.

The Deadly Tower has a total of 100 floors, and the first team to clear it will be awarded extremely rare Props and Skills.

For each floor cleared, players will be awarded Deadly Points.

Deadly Points can be used to exchange for Props or Skills in the Deadly Tower shop.

The first 100 teams to clear the tower will receive special rewards.」

「5: Added the 'Squad Challenge' feature. If your squad has disputes with another squad, then you, as the squad leader, can initiate a challenge to the other squad.

If the opposing team accepts,

then the other squad will begin selecting the map, and both squads will fight within the map's rules.

When an entire squad is defeated, the map challenge ends.

PS: A squad can reject another squad's challenge without any cost. We do not encourage violence, but if you really must solve problems through violence, please do not harm innocent bystanders. Within the map, you are free to showcase your strength unreservedly.」

「6: Added the August rules "No Lying" and "No Backstabbing".

"No Lying": All players are not allowed to lie. As adults, you should take responsibility for your own words. However, if your subconscious truly believes that you did not lie, then you are not deemed to have lied.

For example: If you once lost a phone but had amnesia from a car accident and therefore forgot about it, then saying you've never lost a phone is not considered lying.

The first three violations will deduct 1000 Points each time.

The fourth violation will result in instant death.

"No Backstabbing": All players are unable to attack those who show their backs to you. If you attempt to attack a player showing their back to you, your attack upon landing will fail and cause no damage.

As a knight, you should defeat your enemy face-on, not by attacking from behind.

That is the behavior of cowards.

The August rules will last for one month and expire at 00:00 on September 1st.」

「The Snow Sea Project Team wishes all players a happy gaming experience in version 4.4.」

「PS: In the next update preview, the project team has decided to include monthly rules related to "life" elements. Please look forward to it.」

...

PS: Today's update owes more than ten thousand words, but I'm too sleepy, let me nap a bit and then continue.

Ugh, so sleepy.
