There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 271: Chapter 251: “I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of dying under the Annihilate Nine Clans skill.

After using this prop, one would fall into a state of extreme fatigue, and that was exactly the state Sword Without End found himself in.

However.

Without personally experiencing it, it is completely impossible to understand the true effect of the words “extreme fatigue.” Only after experiencing it can you understand that it’s a tiredness that seeps down to the bone, like when you can see your perfect attendance slipping away if you don’t keep typing, but you still feel too drowsy to open your eyes.

Extreme, fatigue.

…

But the scene with Chen Yi was a different picture altogether.

On the edge of a certain city wall.

Countless meteors fell from the sky, and tens of thousands of Buddha figures sat cross-legged on Flame Lotus Platforms, holding Fire God Gatlings, conducting a blanket bombardment of all enemies in front of them.

Enemies?

You couldn’t even see where the enemies were.

Besides that, the sky was filled with endless other-shore flowers drifting about.

Outside of the city wall, a large number of the Insect Race were there, their mission was to hold this city for an hour.

But at that moment, not a single one of the Insect Race could be seen, what was visible was just how the wilderness outside the city walls had somehow become four or five meters lower.

“How does it look?”

Chen Yi sat in the rocking chair at the edge of the city wall, holding Jiaye in his arms, he looked at the scene before him, somewhat smugly raised his eyebrows, and smiled, “Not bad, right? These two new props I acquired, they seem pretty impressive.”

“Does it hurt?”

Jiaye looked up, gently caressing his chest with concern, and whispered, “Maybe we should back out of the Solar Star matter, pretend like it never happened. Otherwise, being constantly dragged into it, I always feel like it will be very dangerous later on.”

“Standing out too much will easily get you targeted.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi’s smile slowly faded away, and after a long pause, he shook his head calmly.

“You’re mistaken.”

“This matter must be handled perfectly in order to deter the rest of those sneaks.”

“Otherwise, more and more people will harass us in the future. When the Blue Star ascended in the game world, some petty thief even bought the contract for my rental apartment, demanding a large sum of Points from me.”

“Later on, such sneaks would pop up from time to time.”

“That small company boss, the deputy president of Skywake.”

“But now you tell me, do we still have players on Blue Star who provoke us without any reason?”

“Because they are afraid, those petty thieves are scared after seeing our strength.”

“If we had kept a low profile from the start, even now, many such petty thieves would be knocking on our door.”

“And the most perfect solution to this situation is to make the annihilation of the Solar Star the endpoint.”

Jiaye stopped talking and simply lay on Chen Yi’s chest, her expression somewhat dazed as she seemingly contemplated something.

…

“Yi, this time you’ve been used quite badly.”

At Skywake Headquarters on Blue Star, President Zhou Ziqiang looked at the discussion information on the forum with an ugly expression; the internet was all in uproar about this matter.

Everyone knew.

Chen Yi, the number one player on Blue Star, had been used by Qiu Hao of the Solar Star. He had fought monsters to the death, and couldn’t pick up a single prop, everything benefiting someone else.

For a time.

Almost every player on Blue Star was extremely angry on behalf of Chen Yi, aggrieved for him, furious for him, but there was nothing they could do.

Just as Qiu Hao had said.

Even if Chen Yi was very strong, he still had to wait eight months before he could leave Blue Star, and by that time, Solar Star would have already cleared the threefold trial and left the Number 3 Star System.

Being humiliated like stepping on your face, it was hard to swallow such an insult.

But… there was nothing that could be done even if it was hard to swallow.

It was indeed quite suffocating.

…

“Comfortable.”

In a certain conference room on Neutron Star, Qiu Hao slowly stood up, looked at everyone, and smiled, “Now you all can send people to the Sky Demon Star. Of course, the props need to be unified, distributed according to the ratios we agreed upon beforehand.”

“We’ll reconvene on Sky Demon Star in three hours.”

He then stood up and walked out of the conference room, with his assistant hurrying to follow him, her expression somewhat puzzled as she hesitated, “Lord Qiu Hao, I don’t understand why you gave Chen Yi the real information?”

“If Lord Qiu Hao you had used a fake name and a fake star name, wouldn’t that have served as another blow and increased the difficulty for Chen Yi to find you after he leaves Blue Star?”

“Wouldn’t that have been killing two birds with one stone?”

At that moment, Qiu Hao, feeling extremely pleased with himself, rolled up his sleeves, gave a glance at his assistant holding a notebook, and casually smiled, “You’re thinking too low-level, which is why all you see is this much.”

“Just as you say, using a fake name, I would indeed avoid many future risks.”

“But, what I’m telling you today is that, compared to risk, using my real name brings greater benefits.”

“Perhaps you should check out the forums on Solar Star and see how everyone speaks of our Tianxia Pavilion and me, Qiu Hao. Then go to other stars’ forums and see how other players speak of me, Qiu Hao, and Solar Star.”

“That is influence.”

“Since ancient times, all merchants ultimately chase after reputation. Do you think they truly love reputation that much?”

“It’s not that; they understand where there’s reputation, there’s benefit.”

“Such reputation, such influence, is invaluable.”

“And also—”

Qiu Hao paused for a moment, then stopped in his tracks, waiting for his own starship to land nearby, “Anything done in a sneaky and conniving manner won’t last long and has a significant impact on a person’s demeanor.”

“When you do something, it should be known by everyone, recognized by all. This will bring you an influence that makes any future endeavors you undertake smooth sailing.”

“Study hard.”

Qiu Hao patted his assistant’s shoulder, then strode towards the starship’s boarding ramp and gave the command, “Set course for Sky Demon Star.”

The assistant scratched his head in confusion, subconsciously opening the forums of Solar Star and those of other star systems.

‘Qiu Hao is awesome!!!’

‘Haha, wasn’t Chen Yi acting all high and mighty a while ago? In the end, wasn’t he just toyed with by our great Qiu Hao?’

‘Let this country boy see what’s meant by “using a small force to move a heavy weight!”‘

‘Come on, Chen Yi, keep on yelling, or can you only talk tough?’

‘I’m begging you, Chen Yi, come to Solar Star and kill me, please. I’m so sick of living, come and end me.’

The discussion of this matter on Solar Star was immensely popular. The players on Solar Star had become exceptionally unified and electrified because of this incident. After all, Chen Yi had made quite an impression before, but now he was suppressed by Qiu Hao, giving them a rare sense of exhilaration.

When players from other planets talked about Qiu Hao, they did so with a mix of wariness and admiration.

That Chen Yi had wiped out an entire clan by himself, a truly ruthless person.

But even such a ferocious figure showed no temper in Qiu Hao’s hands, forcing other players to adopt a new perspective towards Solar Star.

After reading all this.

The assistant nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood something.

…

“Do you understand now?”

Qiu Hao, seated in the luxurious chair of the starship, leaned back with a smile playing on his lips and spoke in a relaxed tone, “The twofold trial isn’t just about one person or one guild, it’s about all the players on Solar Star.”

“With this incident, the cohesion and pride of all players on Solar Star have become unparalleled and unprecedentedly strong.”

“In such a state, it will greatly increase our chances of successfully passing the twofold trial.”

“And after passing the twofold trial, this momentum will settle down, that sense of cohesion and pride will become even stronger, and then we’ll have the opportunity to take on the threefold trial.”

“And this kind of thing, it can’t be offered by hiding your name.”

“Do you understand?”

“Chen Yi is just a minor issue to me, I don’t care about him. What I care about is the future of Solar Star, the bright future of Solar Star after breaking out of the No. 3 star system.”

“In terms of individual combat strength, I am not as good as Chen Yi.”

“But when it comes to management, Chen Yi is no match for me. He still hasn’t realized that in future struggles, the impact of one person is extremely small. Players from an entire star need to come together as one to survive, to live better!”

Qiu Hao’s voice gradually softened.

He hadn’t slept for several days because of this matter and was really too tired to resist sleep now.

He murmured his last few words.

“Success doesn’t have to come from me.”

“Solar Star will break out of the star system, be remembered across the universe, enduring through thousands of trials unscathed!”

…

“Are you satisfied now?”

Within Neutron Star.

The person in charge of Sun Family Guild looked grim as he stared across the table at the Chairman of Black Dragon Guild, “Are you satisfied now with this mess? Nearly ten thousand players from both our sides have gone to hell, do you know how much it will cost to climb out?”

“You fear Chen Yi, but are you not afraid of me?”

“Now, all the rewards have been snatched away by them, and we haven’t gained any advantage. Is this the outcome you wanted?”

“Hmm.”

The Chairman of Black Dragon Guild, with a calm expression, poured a cup of tea and pushed it forward, “The outcome isn’t too bad. It’s just that I pulled you out of the mire in time. You should be thinking about how to thank me.”

“Chen Yi won’t involve us on Neutron Star when he settles the scores in autumn, will he?”

“Heh.”

President Sun couldn’t help but chuckle coldly, “Aren’t you a little too scared? Chen Yi still has eight months before he can come out, are you that afraid of him?”

“Or are you just afraid of dying that much?”

Chairman Li’s expression remained peaceful, he didn’t speak, just picked up his tea cup. With a somewhat absent look, he turned his head towards the doorway where Li Peiqi was chatting with her best friend and murmured.

“I’m not afraid of death, but I’m afraid of dying under the ‘Annihilate Nine Clans’ skill.”

…

Soon.

A week had passed.

The incident had gradually cooled down on Blue Star as well, as all players realized one thing: Although it was frustrating, there really wasn’t a good solution.

Meanwhile, Solar Star was ceaselessly promoting the incident throughout the No. 3 Star System.

And they announced that the twofold trial would officially begin in three days, inviting players from other planets to join the live stream to watch in real time.

Following this event.

The players of Solar Star, as if invigorated, acted fearlessly determined to protect the honor of Solar Star.

Their current sense of unity and pride was truly unprecedented, never before seen!

Clearly, as Qiu Hao had said.

Compared to some minor side effects, the positive effects were a bit greater.

…

ps: Got the timing wrong again… I really deserve to die, woke up and realized I hadn’t updated after seeing messages in the readers’ group, only then did I remember that I set the wrong time again yesterday.@@novelbin@@

I was confused when I set the timer yesterday.

Sorry, I really deserve to die, these two chapters are from yesterday.
