There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Unimaginable.

Under the leadership of the old chief, they almost had to endure the fury of such a pervert.

Fortunately, he sent the chief, who faked his death in hell, to the depths of hell forever to work as a janitor; otherwise, if the chief really came back from hell, who knows what trouble he might cause.

They could only feel relieved.

They hoped Yi wouldn't hold a grudge against them because of this incident or let it affect his view of their race. It seemed they should do something to make up for it.

And the best way to make amends?

Naturally, it was to go to God Yi Mall and spend some more money.

...

Meanwhile, Chen Yi, who was still sleeping, was unaware that Sky City within the Awesome Starfield had, at some unknown time, attracted a large number of high-grade planet players from other starfields, including those from the Sevenfold and even the Eightfold Planets.

Yes, Eightfold!

Outside the God Yi Mall, a deputy chief from a Sevenfold Planet looked incredulously at a middle-aged man next to him and said in confusion, "No way! You guys are all attacking the Ninefold Planet, and you still want to join this frenzy?"

He recognized the middle-aged man—he was the third in command from an Eightfold Planet called "air."

His sudden appearance in Sky City of the Awesome Starfield, even standing outside the God Yi Mall, could have only one motive, and it didn't need to be stated.

But what he couldn't understand was this:

Did an Eightfold Planet, to be more precise, an Eightfold Planet that was attacking the Ninefold, still need Chen Yi's protection?

With the strength they could muster, they were so much more powerful than Chen Yi; why would they come to pay this protection fee?

...

The middle-aged man just glanced indifferently at the man next to him who had initiated the conversation. He didn't speak, standing patiently on the spot and seemingly deep in thought.

Yes.

He was indeed here to pay the protection fee.

It wasn't that they desperately needed Chen Yi's protection, but their goal was very clear.

First!

A few billion points were nothing for their planet, no pressure at all. Casting out a few billion points was almost like throwing money into the water, but it barely made a difference—it wasn't much of an impact.

After all, it wasn't a lot of money.

But the second point was what they valued most.

Chen Yi's growth rate was just too fast. That was still during the Novice Period, where countless rules restricted his development. It was hard to imagine, once he left the Novice Period and the Newbie Village phase ended, to what extent his strength would grow.

Assuming he didn't die prematurely.

It wouldn't take long for Chen Yi's strength to reach an extremely terrifying level.

And the few billion points they were spending were meant to curry favor.

Yes, to curry favor.

They didn't care about Chen Yi's protection at the current stage at all; Chen Yi's strength at this phase couldn't possibly protect them, let alone pose any threat to them. What they cared about was Chen Yi in the future.

When Chen Yi grew stronger in the future, as long as there were no irreconcilable conflicts, they hoped that out of regard for those few billion points, he would reconcile with them. Even if there were any serious conflicts, he would come to talk to them instead of getting into a fight straight away.

As for...

What if Chen Yi died prematurely?

Well, he would just have died, and they would have lost a few billion points, which wasn't a big loss for them. Besides, which investment doesn't have the risk of loss? For instance, a certain novelist—if they hadn't lost money, why would they hurry back to writing?

Damn!

...

And so, a scene that even Li Yi found startling occurred.

At present, Sky City was filled with representatives from the Threefold, Fourfold, Fivefold, Sixfold, Sevenfold, and even Eightfold Planets, who had traveled from surrounding starfields to gather here, waiting for something.

Currently, not a single person had gone to the God Yi Mall to purchase the porcelain worth several billion points.

Mainly because...

Chen Yi had never accepted protection fees from races outside of the Awesome Starfield, leaving them somewhat uncertain if Chen Yi only protected races within the Awesome Starfield.

No one came forward to nod, and no one gave them a response.

They didn't dare to buy either.

If Chen Yi not recognizing a loss of several hundred million Points was a minor issue, they feared their strong-arm purchase would make Chen Yi feel like he was being kidnapped, which would cause them to be resented. That was the real trouble.

Until—

Time passed, unknowingly how long.

A seemingly nonchalant young man stepped out of the mall.

...

"Hey,"

Tuberculosis Rabbit smiled with a hand in his pocket, looking at the group gathered at the entrance, "Everyone go in. Yi loves every player equally, whoever buys the porcelain is Yi's friend."

"It's just that there might not be enough porcelain."

As soon as he finished speaking,

the site instantly exploded into a frenzy!

Then, they saw those who were usually very serious seconds-in-command and thirds-in-command activate their Props and rush into the mall.

What are you waiting for?

They recognized this young man in front of them, Chen Yi's closest confidant of late, and what this person said basically represented Chen Yi's will. This statement was a clear indication that, no matter which Starfield, anyone who bought the porcelain could get protection.

"..."

Standing at the entrance of the mall, Tuberculosis Rabbit squinted and smiled at the group before him without speaking.

For them, it was definitely a no-lose situation.

Not to mention anything else,

this huge amount of Points was real cash flow, enabling them to go a very long time without ever running out of Points, so many Points that they wouldn't even know where to spend them.

What about protection?

They couldn't ask for more!

One of the key reasons Yi hadn't exterminated any races at will was that doing so recklessly could easily provoke a concerted attack, which even Yi couldn't withstand. But now, there was a perfectly justifiable reason.

You bullied my protected race.

Do I have a problem with annihilating your race?

No problem!

It's perfectly reasonable.

It can be said to be all gains and no losses.

"So many people..."

Tuberculosis Rabbit looked at the endless stream of people entering the mall and couldn't help but click his tongue and sigh, "So annoying, woke up from a nap and there's so much Points coming in. How's one supposed to spend all this money?"

Li Yi earned himself a Monument for ascending the game by making 1 billion Points during his Novice Period.

And the amount of Points they had made now in the Novice Period already had several zeroes added after the 1 billion Points.

Yet, there was no Monument for ascending the game.

This goes to show that the most important factor in getting the Monument for ascending the game isn't about the difficulty, but about being the first in a particular field or, in other words, being the first.

At this moment—

Chen Yi stood on the rooftop terrace of God Yi Mall, gazing into the distance. They had slept for less than eight hours, initially planning to take a break, but the fatigue had gone straight to the depths of the brain as soon as they hit the bed.

Impossible to shake off.

Dizzy and drowsy, they fell asleep.

Just couldn't get up.

He glanced down at the surging crowd below, only taking a casual look before falling silent again. There was no reason not to accept Points that were delivered right to his door.
