There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 248: Chapter 240: “Start of Autumn Festival Special Limited Event Officially Begins!

“What should we do then?”

Tuberculosis Rabbit plopped down on a chair next to him with a bit of resignation, “Well, you tell me what to do.”

“I’m not sure.”

Sword Without End shook his head, “I’m a bit clueless too. We really need to base our strategy on the specific rules of the event on the day.”

And then—

Jiaye and Tie Chui emerged from the map.

“Did you fail?”

“Yeah.”

Jiaye massaged his temples with a look of exhaustion, “It’s so difficult, I feel like I’ve used up all the brain cells I have in this lifetime. I didn’t even realize I wasn’t the murderer until the last vote ended.”

“Do you guys get that feeling?”

“I do.”

Sword Without End nodded earnestly, “I have a friend who went to the hospital for a check-up one day and overheard some nurses gossiping. They said a female patient cheated on her husband with three men the day before her wedding.”

“She got pregnant by accident.”

“Normally that wouldn’t be a problem; she could just have raised the child as her husband’s without a paternity test, and that would have been the end of it.”

“However, it just so happened that her husband had recently been diagnosed as infertile, which made things rather complicated.”

“How does a woman get pregnant when her husband is infertile? She couldn’t possibly be the Virgin Mary with a miracle baby, right?”

“She had to sneak away and get an abortion without her husband knowing.”

“My friend was eating melon seeds, really getting into the gossip, going on about how outrageous the woman’s behavior was.”

“Until three hours later, when a woman who had just had an abortion came out, clutching her belly and limping along the wall… When my friend saw the woman, he froze on the spot.”

“It was his wife.”

“I guess that’s the feeling—a whole time you’re munching on melons, only to find out you’re the main character.”

“….”

Jiaye stared blankly at Sword Without End for a while before he sat down next to Chen Yi, took an apple out of his pocket, peeled a bit and fed it to Chen Yi, mumbling.

“What a mess.”

“How about you?”

Tuberculosis Rabbit pulled out a cigarette from his bosom and tossed it casually to Tie Chui, “No need to ask, you definitely failed too, right? After all, this kind of brain-dead map is like a demotion for you.”

“Thanks… thanks.”

Tie Chui caught the cigarette with both hands and then scratched his head with a goofy smile, “I cleared it though… Is this map hard? Isn’t it just about always denying that you were the killer…?”

“Pfft!”

Tuberculosis Rabbit spit out the juice he had just sipped, wiped the residue from his mouth, and looked incredulously at Tie Chui, “How is that possible?”

“You cleared a map that even I didn’t clear?”

“Not… well, only…”

Just as Tie Chui was about to explain something, Tuberculosis Rabbit suddenly cut him off, “Alright, you don’t have to say it, I think I’ve got a pretty good idea of how you cleared it.”@@novelbin@@

The biggest difficulty of this map was this—

All the good guys thought they were the murderer, concealing information and confusing logic, thereby muddling the clues of the other good guys and making the whole situation messier.

What was originally a 1v9 game ended up becoming a free-for-all.

But if someone, without using their brain or thinking at all, just claims they are not the murderer, then it’s not so easy to deal with.

After all, there are only three voting opportunities, and Tie Chui’s suspicion was indeed not as strong as that of others.

You have to say, that’s some good luck.

…

Time passed by bit by bit.

Soon it was August 8th.

Just in time for the Start of Autumn Festival.

“August 8, prosperity, prosperity, prosperity.”

Tuberculosis Rabbit, after freshening up, stood by the window, looking out at the setting sun and stretched a supremely satisfied yawn before saying comfortably, “Today’s a good day.”

“But it’s the Start of Autumn already, and the temperature hasn’t dropped at all; in fact, it’s getting hotter. This weather is torture.”

“Even staying in an air-conditioned room feels particularly torturous.”

“I really admire how the people in ancient times managed to endure it.”

At that moment.

Standing on the Green Peak, his arms crossed, Sword Without End faced the rising sun and casually remarked, “I remember in ancient times there were quite a few ways to escape the summer heat, right? Like the emperor would store huge blocks of ice in winter and keep them in ice cellars to use during the hot summer days.”

“Many people would dig a cellar under their house or something. It’s quite cool down there.”

“Hm?”

Tuberculosis Rabbit, lying on the edge of the windowsill, looked out at Sword Without End hovering in midair and asked in confusion, “How did you get here?”

“Isn’t today the Start of Autumn Festival?”

Glancing down at his wristwatch, Sword Without End replied, “Of course, I had to come. There’s a Start of Autumn event today. It’s now 07:59.”

“By exception to the usual practices, there’s one more minute, and the Start of Autumn Festival event should be starting.”

Hardly had his voice faded when.

A notification rang in the ears of all players!!!

“Ding, game activity announcement!”

“August 8-10, the ‘Start of Autumn Festival’ special event is officially launched!”

“All players can participate in this event during these three days.”

“Event One: Out with the Old, In with the New.”

“The scorching weather is about to end, and a cool autumn is coming. Grasping the tail end of the summer heat, let us cherish this last bit of summer together.”

“Players can write a 3,000-word essay to express their feelings about the summer heat leaving us, and judges will score these essays. Players who score over 90 will receive a special small gift pack.”

“The top hundred players worldwide will have the chance to win a special large gift pack.”

“PS: The plagiarism rate must not exceed 13%.”

“Event Two: Pool Party.”

“Let’s welcome the end of the scorching heat with a grand pool party. All players will find an extremely exquisite swimming outfit in their inventory.”

“This swimming costume is free to wear but will automatically disappear after the event.”

“Players can choose whether to wear this pool outfit; those who do for three consecutive days will receive a reward of 200 Points.”

“Players can DIY their pool outfits according to their own preferences. Strive to exercise your fashion talent!”

“And the Player Main City of all players will each fall into a huge swimming pool, providing the chance for the players to experience a pool party in Heaven.”

“Players can buy water guns, bubble machines, and electronic fireworks props to make this party a bit more fun.”

“Event Three: I Challenge Too.”

“All players can spend 1,000 Points to become an Arena Master.”

“As a guest, a player must perform a move they consider to be of high difficulty, allowing players worldwide to attempt it. Those who succeed will win a reward, and the fewer the successful challengers, the greater the prize for the Arena Master.”

“On the last day, our special guest player, Chen Yi, will make an appearance to pose a challenge for everyone.”

“The move performed by the Arena Master should not exceed thirty minutes in length.”

“The judges for this event are—”

“Little Sprite, Little Fairy’s Mom, Little Sprite’s Dad.”

A voice rang in the ear of all players.

“Write an essay…”

Tuberculosis Rabbit licked the corner of his mouth somewhat speechlessly as he lay by the window, looking down at the building below: “I’ve never written an essay in my life, and now there’s a global event making me write one.”

“It’s really odd.”

“And why are the judges always Little Sprite’s family? Aren’t there any other judges?”

“How can they manage to read so many essays from all over the world?”

“But I must say, they sure got that pool party started quickly.”

By now, the ground floor had been submerged in a vast sea.

The water was not murky but extremely clear, and you could see all the way to the bottom.

It appeared to be about half a meter deep.

And there were no signs of water backflowing into the first floor, which seemed to indicate some sort of protection for it.

Pool party.

Sounds pretty good.

All of a sudden, Tuberculosis Rabbit’s expression turned bizarre as he observed the street below, now transformed into a pool. Many girls had already changed into bikinis and dove into the pool, enjoying this rare pleasure.

It was quite… pleasing to the eye.

However, it wasn’t long before he witnessed an even more outrageous scene.

…

PS: More to come later.
