There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 291: Chapter 270: “There’s No Turning Back Now.

The Ancient God couldn’t hear what Chen Yi was saying, and Chen Yi couldn’t hear what the Ancient God was saying either.

The only way for them to communicate was to have the Tuberculosis Rabbit act as an intermediary.

“Tell the truth.”

“This is the truth.”

“Since you just said that Starfield players cannot take any props, Skill Fragments, or Points out of their Star System, why would they come to the Threefold Star System?”@@novelbin@@

“The Hundred Generations Bounty is an exception.”

“Just give me a rough idea of this Race’s information, and I can clarify their general situation in the Starfield. Many of this information will be useful to you… for example, their fatal weaknesses.”

“…”

Chen Yi stopped talking and just continued to lie on the beach chair with his eyes closed, unconsciously tapping his knuckles on the armrest.

Not long ago.

Someone indeed accepted the Hundred Generations Bounty left by the Solar Star.

He also received the notification.

He originally thought it was someone bold from the Number 3 Star System, but he never expected outsiders to come.

Starfield.

What kind of place was this?

A group of veteran players showed no mercy to them newbies.

“Isn’t there a Newbie Protection Period? What kind of protection is this?”

“In exchange for a certain price, even planets under newbie protection are not absolutely safe, it’s just that most people are unwilling to do so, as the cost is usually not worth the reward.”

“But if… there’s a huge bounty, then the cost becomes acceptable.”

Chen Yi remained silent.

He thought he could take a vacation, but now he’s faced with another war, and this time the enemy is incredibly powerful—the Threefold Planet of the Starfield.

As for the War Star Beast, it was not the weapon of this Race.

It was a kind of interdimensional transport used in levelling up games, for traversing between worlds, and players could ride it by paying a certain amount of Points.

Of course, it didn’t go just anywhere.

It could only carry you to places you were authorized to visit.

And the Number 3 Star System was precisely a location within the rights of Logitech Star to visit.

As the saying goes, strike first to gain the upper hand.

But the problem now is that Chen Yi had no idea who the enemy was, where they were, or how to deal with them.

This Race didn’t participate in the twofold trial.

So, naturally, that tactic was useless.

And a Threefold Planet… even if he went all out, he wasn’t guaranteed to avoid fatal risks.

Besides, his battle videos were always broadcast live, and it was certain that these Race Players thoroughly studied his fighting methods and fatal weaknesses before taking action.

Not knowing who the enemy was, where they were, and not being able to strike first but just passively take hits.

It had to be said,

this time it was truly troublesome.

…

“Boss.”

Within the Sun Family Guild, a bald man continuously sucked in cold breaths as if he were in pain, hesitantly looking towards President Sun, who was seated, and spoke up with a forced expression.

“Are you sure we want to contact Chen Yi, to reveal both Chairman Li’s intentions and the existence of Mr. Qiang?”

“If this is discovered, our Sun Family Guild will have to endure the onslaught from multiple powers.”

“Even if Chen Yi is grateful to us, he’s on Blue Star and can’t intervene immediately, right?”

“Don’t rush.”

President Sun’s eyes narrowed as he savored a sip of tea, a fierce glint suddenly appearing in the depths of his gaze as he laughed, “Chairman Li made a point that has awakened me; no gambler will forever bet all their chips on one option.”

“If we side with Chairman Li and Mr. Qiang this time, what do we stand to gain? There’s no benefit at all, only the possibility that the Number 3 Star System won’t be invaded by external enemies.”

“But what kind of crappy benefit is that!”

“All the benefits of so many planets in the Entire Star System, why should I risk my neck to do this alone?”

“However, if we stand with Chen Yi, then the benefits are different. Think about it, right now Chen Yi surely doesn’t know about this affair, if we pass on the information beforehand.”

“If Chen Yi can avoid this catastrophe, then the Sun Family will be his most steadfast friend.”

“The benefit of that would far exceed standing on Mr. Qiang’s side.”

“Moreover—”

The somewhat plump President Sun twisted his chubby body in the chair, a shadow crossing his sullen eyes.

“Those who bully me right in front of my face.”

“And expect me to be their dog.”

“Do they think I have no temper?”

Although when Mr. Qiang shoved a cigarette butt into the mouth of a girl under his command right in front of him, he showed no change in expression nor dared to show any.

But that indignity wasn’t easy to swallow.

If he had to continue enduring that and serve as Mr. Qiang’s dog, he truly felt outraged.

“This…”

The confidant beside him hesitated before speaking again, “Boss, since you’ve made a decision, we won’t change it, but we don’t have the means to contact Chen Yi directly like the Black Dragon Guild does as the Sun Family Guild lacks that capacity.”

The Black Dragon Guild had contacted Chen Yi the last time by sending a member to a shop on the Blue Star map to meet with Chen Yi as an NPC.

This ability to be appointed to a star as an NPC was something only the Black Dragon Guild possessed.

The Sun Family Guild definitely did not have it.

“Don’t worry.”

President Sun shook his head and said, “Although Chairman Li didn’t name names, I know he sent this message through Li Peiqi, and that Prop that could be used to appoint someone to a star to act as an NPC, is also in Li Peiqi’s hands.”

“You might have forgotten.”

“The Black Dragon Guild was initially on our side, but the reason they are now forcefully pulling out is because of Li Peiqi’s staunch opposition to this matter.”

“Despite Li Peiqi being from the Black Dragon Guild, if we secretly contact her, she might agree to help us and covertly pass the message on to Chen Yi.”

“Understood!”

…

“What!!!”

A flicker of fear passed through Li Peiqi’s eyes. The chips she had been holding in her arms fell to the floor as she stared incredulously at President Sun. After a long moment, without any hesitation, she grabbed her coat and rushed toward the door.

“I’m going to talk to the Chairman. Has he lost his mind!!!”

“How dare he backstab Chen Yi!!!”

“There’s no need to go.”

President Sun pulled Li Peiqi back, his complexion somewhat ugly as he shook his head, “Before coming here again, I had already asked Chairman Li once more, and he was very determined.”

“And he already sent the message to Mr. Qiang.”

“Chairman Li strongly believes that although Chen Yi is powerful, this time he will definitely die on the Threefold Planet set up by Mr. Qiang.”

“There’s no turning back now.”

“We’ve approached you because you have a way to contact Chen Yi. We hope you can pass on this information to him so he can prepare in advance. And the Sun Family Guild from Neutron Star wishes to gain Chen Yi’s friendship.”

“This has to be kept secret. Don’t tell anyone, understood?”

“…”

After a long, extremely uncomfortable silence, Li Peiqi nodded and said, “You can go back. I understand. I’ll send the information to Chen Yi as soon as possible.”

“Chairman Li… is doomed.”

“Good, then we’re counting on you.”

After the Sun Family Guild had left, Li Peiqi finally sat down on the sofa with a rather somber expression. Since the start of the day, she’d been somewhat distracted.

Originally, her death as indicated by the A-level Prop “Last Words” had been at the hands of the Tuberculosis Rabbit.

It started out as by Chen Yi’s hand.

But ever since Chen Yi destroyed the Solar Star, it had always been at the hands of the Tuberculosis Rabbit. She barely breathed a sigh of relief when, this morning, habitually checking the A-level Prop “Last Words,”

her cause of death changed back to being at the hands of Chen Yi.

She hadn’t done anything, so why would she die at Chen Yi’s hand again?

As she pondered why this was happening, President Sun showed up, and she finally understood the reason.

While she had been so cautious and vigilant before, her dear Chairman had stabbed her in the back once again.

And at that moment—

A knock on the door rang out again.

Distracted, Li Peiqi instinctively asked, “Who is it?”

“It’s me, Peiqi.”

The moment the voice from outside rang out, Li Peiqi’s heart instinctively calmed down; it was the voice of her best friend Liu Xiaochan.

When the door opened,

Liu Xiaochan, standing at the doorway holding a large bag of snacks, curved her eyes like crescent moons upon seeing Li Peiqi, lifting the snacks in her hands, “Look what we’ve got; it’s all your favorites. I’ve come to watch a movie with you, to finish the one we didn’t complete yesterday.”

“Hey, you look a bit pale?”

“I…”

After hesitating for a while, Li Peiqi couldn’t help but tell Liu Xiaochan the secret she was supposed to keep about what President Sun had told her.

She could keep secrets from others.

But Liu Xiaochan was her best friend, the one who had risked her life to save her on several occasions on the map. She didn’t believe Liu Xiaochan would hurt her. Keeping this matter to herself felt suffocating; she couldn’t keep it to herself.

“…”

After listening, Liu Xiaochan looked a bit pale, but managed a stiff smile while passing the snacks over, “Geez, this Chairman Li, huh? He was just supporting Chen Yi, so why all of a sudden decide to backstab.”

“No matter which side he stands on, this constant switching of stances is never a good thing.”

“That…”

But Liu Xiaochan suddenly fell silent mid-sentence, unable to maintain her forced smile any longer. It took a long while before she spoke again.

“There’s something I need to tell you. I’m actually planted by Chairman Li to be close to you, but our feelings for each other are real. It was after we became best friends that Chairman Li approached me.”

“The main purpose was to ensure your safety.”

“Don’t be too rushed.”

“I won’t report this to Chairman Li, but I need to tell you something. Haven’t you always said you have no family?”

“Well, you actually do.”

“Chairman Li is your biological father, and since he didn’t dare to acknowledge you, he asked me to protect you secretly.”

“I want you to know this.”

“Because if you reveal this message to Chen Yi, then you and your father will be on opposing sides. I fear that maybe Chen Yi really won’t survive the ordeal on the Logitech Star.”
