Chapter 236: Chapter 228: “Don’t rush, let me see who is real.
“It must be for three main reasons,”
Jiaye, sitting to one side with his head tilted, guessed, “Firstly, it’s definitely because of Yi’s reputation. Everyone sees that the event is designed by Yi and is more willing to cast a vote.”
“After all, Yi should be the most famous player on Blue Star at the moment.”
“Secondly, even though the event sounds creepy, there’s no actual threat to life; those spooky elements are just for scares and won’t harm the players’ lives.”
“Which means that this global event poses no life-threatening danger to the players.”
“Among the top ten ranked events in the current voting, only four are non-lethal for players.”
“One is Yi’s Thrilling World, another is Sword Without End’s Heavenly Dancing Object, one by the Lycra twins called ‘Who Can Pee the Farthest’, and one by Zhu Ergou called ‘Who Can Last the Longest’.”
“Only these four events are safe for players’ lives, but the last three are too crude, and naturally repellent to female players, so in the end, the event designed by Yi is indeed the best solution.”
“The last reason is, after surviving the Calm and Cool rules of May, the remaining players all feel that they have a decent resistance to these supernatural events.”
“Those who get scared easily should already be down in hell by now.”
“These three reasons determine that the event designed by Yi will become the top vote-getter, of course, it also has something to do with Yi releasing it early enough, capturing a large volume of votes in the early stage.”
“It should be like that.”
After finishing his earnest analysis, Jiaye turned his head to look at Chen Yi expectantly, prompting an almost irresistible urge to protect him.
“Makes sense.”
Chen Yi nodded and then, after a pause, casually picked up a paper fan from the table beside him to shield his face from the glare of the sun, speaking in a nonchalant manner.
“Blue Star is just a novice planet in Star System No. 3. According to the veteran players from the last livestream, Blue Star will have to ‘level up’ after finishing the novice journey.”
“First volume, second volume, third volume.”
“Who knows what the future holds, or if we can ever go back to the old days on Blue Star.”
“Speaking of which, if everything goes back to normal, what do you guys want to do?”
“Me?”
Full of interest, Jiaye, who was sitting to the side clutching his legs, thought for a few seconds before assertively saying, “I’ll probably start a proposal planning business. I’ve already thought of a brand name: ‘Jiaye Proposal Planning’.”
“Wedding ceremonies?”
Tuberculosis Rabbit looked at Jiaye with some confusion, “That line of work is exhausting.”
“Not wedding ceremonies, proposal planning is different from weddings, but it is somewhat similar to the wedding industry.”
Longing appeared in Jiaye’s eyes, as he gazed into the horizon under the somewhat scorching sunlight and turned his head away from the fierce sun, softly saying.
“Not every couple is happy at their wedding; there are too many forced marriages.”
“But proposal sites are different, most of the couples are there voluntarily and are happy. I think if I could help couples plan a unique proposal or anniversary, it would be a very romantic thing.”
“I like to see those romantic events.”
“If I were in this line of work, I’d feel like the world was all rosy.”
“What about you, Tuberculosis Rabbit, if everything goes back to normal, would you still want to be a morgue attendant?”
“That depends on Yi,”
Tuberculosis Rabbit, pulling out a cigarette from his pocket and flicking it carelessly into his mouth, said, “Whatever Yi does, I do. I’m fine with anything; I’m not particularly interested in these things.”
“How about you, Sword Without End?”
“I want to open a breakup museum,”
Sword Without End murmured with a trace of melancholy, thinking of something, “There are too many lovers in this world who cannot be together. I want to create a museum dedicated to preserving objects from couples who have broken up.”
“Like a towel once handwoven.”
“Or the stars painstakingly folded over several days and nights.”
“Or even a box of round-trip tickets.”
“I could also take a photo of the man proposing at Jiaye’s event, and as soon as they break up, the album would immediately go into my breakup museum.”
“I want my breakup museum to be like a work of art.”
“Heh heh.”
Tuberculosis Rabbit suddenly grinned: “Speaking of museums, I almost forgot, I’m gonna open a huge art exhibition hall, and then I’ll frame your breakup museum and put it in mine, and display you right beside it.”
“I even have the perfect name for the art piece.”
“It’s called—’These Are Two Works of Art’.”
“Heh heh.”
Sword Without End gave a hollow laugh without amusement, clearly unimpressed by Tuberculosis Rabbit’s attempt at humor.
Time quickly passed as the group chatted leisurely.
Eight hours flew by quickly.
And so it was four o’clock in the afternoon.
The top vote-getter was Chen Yi’s Thrilling World.
The moment the clock pointed to four in the afternoon, a notification sounded in the ears of all players!
‘Ding, global announcement!’
‘The special limited event “Thrilling World” will officially start on August 1st to August 3rd, at 16:00!’
‘All players can participate in this event during these three days.’
‘Event description: A world transformed by the strange and eerie.’
‘Throughout the event, players will encounter supernatural occurrences at random, which will not harm the players; at least, they won’t cause physical harm.’
“At the start of the event, players will be rewarded based on the fluctuations of their inner emotional state over these three days,”
“There are a total of 1024 hidden achievements in this event.”
“When a player is the first to achieve a certain achievement, they will receive a special exclusive reward.”
“PS: This event was temporarily canceled as a ‘The Founding of the Army Day limited event,’ and it was modified from an event planned and designed by player Chen Yi.”
A new global event has appeared!
It’s not exactly the same as what Chen Yi designed; it even included many changes, like those 1024 hidden achievements, which Chen Yi had never planned.
The event has already started.
But…
“It seems like there’s no reaction at all.”
Tuberculosis Rabbit glanced around tentatively, everything was the same as before, with no changes at all.
The same people were still there, nothing more, nothing less; the weather was the same, even the stifling heat in the dry air remained unchanged.
There was no obvious difference.
“Is this the altered world?”
“It feels…like there’s no response.”
Just then—
Tuberculosis Rabbit suddenly froze, looking at Jiaye next to Chen Yi, and with a slightly odd expression he blurted out, “Yi, there’s…another Jiaye?!”
Jiaye had always been sitting quietly on the little stool beside Chen Yi, never moving from Chen Yi’s left side.
But somehow, there was now another Jiaye sitting on a stool to Chen Yi’s right.
At this time, Sword Without End and the others also noticed this eerie phenomenon, and they all wore serious faces as they readied their weapons and aimed at the Jiaye on Chen Yi’s right, prepared to strike at Yi’s command.
They clearly remembered that Jiaye had always been sitting to the left of Yi, so the one on the right had to be a ghostly impostor.
Something was off.
How did this happen without them noticing?
“Yi!”
The Jiaye on the left, looking anxious and flustered, pointed at the Jiaye on Chen Yi’s right: “She’s fake, I’ve always been sitting here; you know that, Yi.”
“She’s the one transformed by a ghost!”
“Yi, she’s the one changed by a ghost, I don’t know why I suddenly moved to the right side.”
The Jiaye on the right, her face filled with an impatient urgency, stared at Chen Yi as he lay in the rocking chair with pleading sincerity: “Yi, you have to believe me, she’s the fake one!”
“I was switched to this place on the right by some trick of hers, she’s taken over my identity!!”
“Yi, you have to trust me!”
“Mom, I can’t tell them apart, I really can’t!!”
Tuberculosis Rabbit let out a heart-wrenching yell on the side and then cleared his throat, facing Sword Without End’s odd look and snorted: “What, you’ve never read Zuowang Dao?”
“No, what’s it about?”
“I haven’t read it either, I’ve only heard this phrase.”
Chen Yi partly slid down the sunglasses on his forehead and stretched out his arms to embrace both Jiayes indifferently, his voice lazy and casual.
“Don’t worry, let me see who is the real one.”
Soon, everyone present watched Chen Yi solemnly, ready to kill the other fake Jiaye on the spot.
Games aside, they really can’t let a ghost mingle among them.
But…after a while, snoring sounds came from Chen Yi.
Both Jiayes were encircled into Chen Yi’s arms, resting on his chest, glaring fiercely at each other, with no discernible difference in their appearances, clothing, expressions, or usual mannerisms.
It was indeed very difficult to tell them apart.
Just as Tuberculosis Rabbit was about to suggest trying to ask about past memories, he heard Yi’s snoring, remained expressionless and silent for a while, then suddenly lit up a cigarette and, without looking back, walked down towards the rooftop exit.
It dawned on him.
It seemed that there was no need to distinguish which Jiaye was real and which was fake.
After all, the chance to have twin sisters wasn’t something every man had the opportunity to enjoy.
And it wouldn’t even count as cheating.
This wasn’t a terrifying creature at all; this was clearly a blessing.
Clearly, Sword Without End also realized this, silently putting an arm over Tie Chui’s shoulder and following Tuberculosis Rabbit down from the rooftop.
Indeed, it’s only children who choose.
Adults want to have it all.
It’s obvious that Yi is a qualified adult.
…
The moment the “Thrilling World” event descended!
While the world seemed unchanged on the outside, a revolutionary transformation had taken place behind the scenes.
“I’m not even in first place.”@@novelbin@@
Li Yide lay somewhat dazed on his bed, legs crossed and lost in thought as he muttered, having voted for Sword Without End, feeling that Sword Without End’s event was very suitable for him.
