There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 240: Chapter 232: “Unless Chen Yi wants to destroy the entire Neutron Star!!!

Three days quickly passed.

The timeline had reached August 3rd, 4:00 PM in the afternoon.

Everything was over.

After three days of chaos, Blue Star finally returned to normal, with no more occurrences from the paranormal world. However, some lingering issues remained.

For instance—

“Has she returned?”

Li Yide, with a distant look in his eyes, leaned against the headboard of the bed, gazing at the empty room, feeling somewhat hollow inside.

Everything was gone.

She had left too, returned to her own world.

Even though she had departed, her fragrance still lingered in the room, and her traces remained.

People on the forums claimed that these ghost women were emotionless, even mindless, like Minotaur Monsters, simply products of creation.

But he didn’t believe that.

He felt that his Xiaoqian was different from the other ghost women.

Other ghost women indeed lacked consciousness and intelligence, only appearing to startle people according to rules and then being captured by players.

But his Xiaoqian was different; she would perch on his headboard and watch him with blinking eyes as he slept.

Xiaoqian seemed not to need sleep, looking mentally about six or seven years old, filled with curiosity about the world.

Once, when he woke up, he saw Xiaoqian crouched by the window, gazing at the world outside with constantly blinking eyes. Watching her silhouette, he felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

Too many things had happened during these three days.

He had collected a fuzzy doll for Xiaoqian, and although she could not speak, he still saw joy in her eyes.

He sat on the couch with Xiaoqian, cuddling chips and cola, watching comedy movies for a day and a night.

Xiaoqian leaned on his shoulder, taking out chips and feeding them into his mouth.

He bought several beautiful outfits for Xiaoqian, taking her to experience the world, shopping in malls.

He had never felt this way before.

A feeling of being in love.

If at first he had pounced on Xiaoqian due to inner beastly desire, then in the following three days, he truly understood what love was.

Li Yide wandered absently to the living room, looking at the somewhat messy couch, suddenly feeling a sourness in his nose and a lump in his throat.

Since he had taught Xiaoqian how to watch TV, he would wake up to find her sitting there, engrossed in the television by herself.

He also remembered how Xiaoqian loved to play with his fuzzy tail, her eyes bright with excitement as they blinked.

But… now everything was gone.

At that moment—

“Boss, we had a date with the Mantis Gang from Yancheng a few days ago to race cars outside the city. It’s almost time, I’m already at the spot. Why haven’t you arrived?”

“Huh!”

Li Yide wiped away the tears brimming in his eyes and took a deep breath, “No, I’m not going!”

“Down map.”

For the first time in his life, he knew what love felt like, saw that his life wasn’t empty but meaningful.

For the first time, he felt he wasn’t a bad person.

There was someone who trusted him unconditionally.

He didn’t know where Xiaoqian had gone.

He also didn’t know from which world Xiaoqian came to Blue Star, but he knew one thing: if he became strong enough when Blue Star’s Novice Period ended, whether in Neutron Star’s Number 3 Territory—

Step by step, reaching the top!

One day, he would uncover the true secrets of this world!

He would unravel the mysteries that the upgrade game had always hidden!

And then, he would find Xiaoqian!

He needed to be strong enough so that when he met Xiaoqian again, he would have the skill to protect her!

If his life had been aimless before, the rest of it would now be full of purpose.

At this moment.

He finally understood that saying—

When you meet a girl you want to protect with everything you have, only then will you understand the saying, “A sense of responsibility is a man’s epitaph.”

One day, he would break through all dangers and embrace Xiaoqian in his arms.

That day wouldn’t be too far away!

…

“Dead?”

Li Peiqi’s beautiful brow furrowed as she looked at the chat window. The little boy who had been leaving messages on her phone had died in hell; in other words, this line was completely cut off.

Since this line was completely severed, why on earth was Chen Yi so hell-bent on killing her? Was he out of his mind?

Crazy!

These few days, she couldn’t even enjoy her favorite cucumber-flavored chips.

Every time she saw the A-level Prop “Last Words” on her panel, predicting her death at the hands of Chen Yi, she felt like she was losing her mind.

Can she get a reason?

Even an emperor has to give a reason for an execution—does Chen Yi have no reason at all for his killings?

She had completely severed all the lines around her; it shouldn’t have been possible for her to be implicated, unless…

Li Peiqi suddenly stiffened, a flicker of terror surfacing in her eyes. She looked up at her best friend beside her, whose complexion was also looking rather terrible. Clearly, both of them had come to the same realization.

“Unless Chen Yi is going to destroy the entire Neutron Star!!!”

“Chen Yi is going to target Neutron Star!!”

The two of them spoke almost in unison!

“It’s over.”

Li Peiqi slumped onto the sofa, her face ashen. If she died at Chen Yi’s hand for this reason, then she really had no way out.

She had no relatives.

She wouldn’t be affected by the ‘Annihilate Nine Clans’ Skill, but even if she hid, it wouldn’t matter. If a certain number of players on a planet died in one go, that planet would be forcefully ejected.

The rules are cruel.

What does ejection mean?

It means death.

Having lived under the game’s rules for who knows how many months, she was acutely aware that within the game, the rules are inviolable, an oppressive force above all.

If she was to die because Chen Yi massacred the entire Neutron Star, it meant that everything she was doing now was pointless, and no matter how much she tried to avoid being implicated, there was no escaping this eventuality.

There are so many people on Neutron Star.

Who knows if a player with a few loose screws would suddenly provoke Chen Yi and lead to the annihilation of the entire planet?

This was completely out of her control.

“Does that mean my death is certain?”

Li Peiqi picked up the calendar from the bedside in a daze and murmured after a long moment, “Just 8 more months to live. I always thought I’d been careful enough in my life, never setting foot in even slightly dangerous places.”

“But why has it come to this end.”

She looked at the line of text on the ‘Last Words’ A-level Prop and felt a deep sorrow in her heart.

There were so many things she hadn’t finished yet.

So many bags of chips left uneaten, so many movies left unwatched, and even… she had yet to experience what men taste like.

“It’s not like there’s no way.”

Just then, Liu Xiaochan sitting nearby, looking equally troubled, spoke up, “I have a good idea that might be useful to you.”

“Really?”

Li Peiqi, not holding much hope, nevertheless showed a glimmer of hope in her eyes. She turned towards her best friend who had grown up with her, staring intently, waiting for an answer.

“Let’s hear it!”

At that moment, she was like a tourist who had fallen into the water, and even if there was only a straw in front of her, she would grab it without hesitation, not missing any chance of rescue.

“Become the King of Neutron Star!”

Liu Xiaochan looked seriously at Li Peiqi: “It has pretty much been confirmed that your death is due to some force on Neutron Star provoking Chen Yi, leading to the extermination of the entire planet!”

“But if… you become the King of Neutron Star, then you can ensure that Neutron Star doesn’t provoke Chen Yi, and you can avoid the catastrophe of being wiped out by association.”

“This is the best strategy, bar none.”

“What the heck.”

Li Peiqi collapsed onto the sofa, her face expressing disbelief as she said weakly, “And here I thought you had some good strategy. You think I can be the King of Neutron Star?”

“I’m just a girl who likes to eat cucumber-flavored chips and spends her days curled up on the sofa watching TV shows, how could I possibly achieve that.”

“Become the King of Neutron Star, you say it like it’s nothing!”

“Why don’t you try? I think you have a better shot.”

“I’m not joking.”

Liu Xiaochan sat down next to Li Peiqi seriously, took the pillow from Li Peiqi’s arms into her own, and, holding Li Peiqi’s hands, said earnestly.

“To become the King of Neutron Star is a one in ten million chance.”

“But, as the second-in-command of the Black Dragon Guild, one of Neutron Star’s major powers, you should know that achieving that position is also a one in nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand chance.”

“For ordinary people, to want to become the King of Neutron Star, naturally, they have to bet on that one in ten million odds, but you are different, you are just one in ten thousand odds away from that one in ten million chance.”

“One in ten thousand odds is not hopeless.”

“Think about it, the first step is to take control of the whole Black Dragon Guild.”

“…”

Li Peiqi, who had initially taken these words as a joke, fell silent. After a while, a strange look flickered in her eyes as she muttered, “There seems to be some sense in what you’re saying.”

“If I become the King of Neutron Star, naturally I can avoid the incident of provoking Chen Yi from happening. But there are so many players on Neutron Star, I can’t watch over these players day and night. What if one of them doesn’t watch out?”

“Easy.”

Liu Xiaochan continued to suggest ideas.

“Once you become the King of Neutron Star, just print and distribute Chen Yi’s photos everywhere, making sure even newborn babies engrave Chen Yi’s face in their minds.”

“Assure no one offends Chen Yi unwittingly.”

“Then spread the terrors of Chen Yi daily, the more frightening the better, portraying him as a Great Demon King, whose gaze alone would wipe out an entire family.”

“Finally, when Chen Yi leaves Blue Star, pledge allegiance to him immediately!”

“In such a scenario, Peiqi, you will definitely be safe.”@@novelbin@@

“Although it sounds challenging, we still have eight months, right? I think, Peiqi, you can manage this within these eight months.”

…

ps: I will only have one chapter up later tonight, I’ll make up the remaining chapter tomorrow. A friend has invited me out to get a foot bath, and it’s hard to refuse when someone else is treating.
