There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

"Let me introduce."

As the man approached Chen Yi, Li Yi, who sat next to Chen Yi as the host, smiled and said, "This is Minister Ke Qiu from the Korma planet in the Awesome Starfield. The Korma planet is already one of the Fourfold Planets."

"He's also working with me at the moment."

"He watched your live stream from start to finish and has great respect for you."

"You can get to know each other, there might be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"Sure."

A trade minister from a Fourfold Planet?

Chen Yi's expression became slightly serious, and just as he was about to stand up with a cup of wine to greet the man, he glanced around and saw no wine cups—just a room full of rollicking Fushis. After a moment of silence, he said awkwardly,

"Minister Ke must find this amusing, I'm not good with alcohol."

"No worries."

The man waved his hand generously, excitement twinkling in his eyes as he looked at Chen Yi and said, "Yi, I watched your entire live stream, and I've also heard from Lord Li Yi about your achievement of annihilating the Ten Clans."

"You, a true man."

"Right up my alley, I hope we have the chance to work together in the future."

"This is my mother, she will be yours for tonight."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Just as Chen Yi was about to light a cigarette to calm down, he was caught off guard by these words and began to choke on the smoke, coughing uncontrollably. It took him a moment to recover and look at the man in front of him with disbelief.

After confirming that the man wasn't joking,

he turned his gaze to the woman standing behind the man. She was clearly of age, but her figure and looks were impeccable, radiating elegance. She too, was smiling as she looked at him and gave a slight nod.

It was obvious.

This woman hadn't suffered much; otherwise, she wouldn't have maintained such an aura.

The players from this planet didn't seem much different from the human race players of Starfield.

Not much difference at all.

The only noticeable difference seems to be that the players of this race all have snake-like tongues, split down the middle.

At least that was the case for these two.

Whether this was special to these two or common to all players on their planet remained uncertain.

When Li Yi noticed Chen Yi's shock, he coughed lightly and whispered into Chen Yi's ear, "This is their cultural way. To show respect and admiration to a distinguished guest, they have their mothers provide the hospitality."

"It is only for the most respected guests that they do this."

"..."

Chen Yi didn't speak, just stared at the two people in front of him as his pupils dilated. For the first time, he found it so difficult to manage his expression, unable to hide his shock. How was this culture respectful?

How was he supposed to show respect?

There was no way he could respect this!!

He knew well that due to different histories and developments, different races were bound to have unique cultural practices, and even within a race, there could be significant cultural differences from one area to another. That was normal.

But he hadn't anticipated such a vast difference!

He looked into the eager and respectful eyes of the man before him and the smiling mature woman behind him. After a long silence, he said softly, "I have a title that requires me to be faithful, or I'll explode and die."

He found this excuse quite handy now.

"I see."

The man in front of him sighed with slight regret, but then handed a business card to Chen Yi, "Then I won't take up more of your time, Yi. If ever you have the chance, you must come to visit my planet's territory."

"Let me entertain you properly."

"Definitely, definitely."

After the man left, Li Yi sitting next to him commented with emotion, "Is it not a bit absurd? At first, I also found it quite absurd, but later I came to understand them. Women on their planet are extremely rare."

"So motherhood is hereditary."

"Basically, when your father dies, your mother becomes your wife. This way, they can utilize the reproductive potential of women to the fullest, preventing a fertile woman from wasting her reproductive capacity by remaining a widow."

"It's also because of this practice that their race has been able to survive."

"Not sure if they are cursed or what, but 90% of the children born on their planet are male. There are too many bachelors there."

"Using a mother as a host is indeed the highest standard of hospitality for them."

"..."

Chen Yi remained silent, taking a drag from his cigarette. He wanted to go home. The outside world seemed a bit too chaotic; he wanted to return to Blue Star.

Even though Blue Star also had its share of abnormalities,

at least they hid them away in the shadows,

instead of parading them openly as cultural practices.

He had come to realize,

aside from the cultural practices of Blue Star's race, he couldn't accept any others. He wondered how Tuberculosis Rabbit was doing; it had been a long time since he had seen them. He didn't know what the September rule was on Blue Star.

Were Tuberculosis Rabbit and the others still safe?

With their current strength, they should have no problems on Blue Star, as long as they didn't suddenly enter maps where powers far exceeded their own.

And at that moment—

Wang Qi, who was sitting nearby, held a plate of shelled crayfish and threw them into his mouth one by one as if eating sunflower seeds. He laughed next to Chen Yi and asked, "Does everything around you feel a bit absurd?"
