There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 293: Chapter 271: “Someone has started to act shamelessly, and I’m powerless to do anything about it.

“If you’re merely terrified of Chen Yi because of the A-level Prop ‘Last Words,’ then I honestly find it somewhat unnecessary.”

“More than Chen Yi, I think what’s more important is to avoid turning you and your father against each other.”

“Chairman Li is my father?”

Li Peiqi’s mouth fell open in shock, and after a long moment, she burst out in furious rage, “So that’s how it is, that’s how it is!!!”

“I just knew it! Despite being so careful, why did I still die at Chen Yi’s hands!!!”

“So there was such a calamity lurking outside!”

“I must have been caught up in Chen Yi’s ‘Annihilate Nine Clans’!”

“No matter how much you guard against it, it’s hard to fend off a traitor within your own home!!!”

During her investigation recently, she had found out that the brother by Chen Yi’s side was called Tuberculosis Rabbit. Although she didn’t know why she died at the hands of Tuberculosis Rabbit,

It wasn’t Chen Yi who made the move.

That is to say, Tuberculosis Rabbit’s killing was point-to-point, and there is always a way to avoid and mitigate a point-to-point kill.

But to die by Chen Yi’s hand meant that one was simply caught in the crossfire, and it’s very likely they didn’t even face him.

“No way!”

Li Peiqi immediately flew into a rage, rolled up her sleeves, and strode towards the door, “I’m going to kill that waste of a father right now!”

“Huh?”

Liu Xiaochan, with a confused face, stood frozen in place, then hurriedly went out the door to grab Li Peiqi’s arm, “Wait, you’ve got it wrong, that’s your biological father.”

“Yes, it is!”

Still in a fury, Li Peiqi was determined to storm out, but she quickly came to her senses, furrowed her brows, turned to look at Liu Xiaochan: “Are you certain that Chairman Li is my biological father?”

“I specifically used a Prop to check my parentage, and it clearly indicated that my parents died long ago.”

“That makes things less certain, but that’s what Chairman Li told me.”

Gradually, Li Peiqi’s anger subsided, and after a moment she spoke up with a solution, “I’ll go send a message to Chen Yi first.”

“You try to get some of Chairman Li’s skin flakes or hair; blood would be best. We’ll do a paternity test.”

“If Chairman Li truly is my father, it can be considered as him atoning for his deeds, and perhaps one could offset the other.”

“But if Chairman Li isn’t my father, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

“Okay.”

…

Chen Yi sat up straight in the beach chair, and as he was about to say something, an alert suddenly rang in the ear of every Blue Star player.

‘Ding, system announcement!’

‘Twofold Planet Logitech Star has issued a forced Race Duel Battle against Zerofold Planet Blue Star!’

‘Due to the substantial level difference between the two planets, this battle will be limited to one hour. After one hour, no matter the state of the war, it will be forcefully concluded.’

‘All players from both planets will be forced to participate in this battle.’

‘The war will begin on August 23rd at 12:00 PM.’

‘Please prepare accordingly!’

‘We wish you all good luck.’

“August 23rd?”

Chen Yi, who had just sat upright, preparing to say something, suddenly froze in place. That was tomorrow noon.

It was already 9:21 PM on August 22nd.

About half a day remained.

An all-race war.

That means all players from the Blue Star will participate, fighting a life-and-death battle with players from a Threefold Planet.

It would be a brutal fight.

Chen Yi fell silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Jiaye, who brimmed with determination. He suddenly felt as if he had made a mistake; he had never intended for so many Blue Star players to die because of him.

He might not die.

But from this battle, countless Blue Star players might perish.

This wasn’t what he wanted.

…

At this very moment,

In some part of the clouds above Blue Star,

A man with an eye on his forehead, dressed in a suit, stood within the spacious office and roared at the telephone icon on the screen.

“Is the entire Starfield Project Team just slacking off?”

“Starfield Threefold Planet has gone to the 3rd Star System to launch a Race Duel Battle against Blue Star—didn’t you see it?”

“Blue Star is still in the Newbie Protection Period, has your database been hacked or what?”

“Are you blind?”

“This fucking goes against the rules—how dare you?”

The man was extremely tall but skinny, as if a gust of wind could knock him over, with the only exception being that the eye on his forehead flickered with a scarlet glow, seemingly expressing his inner rage.

Inside this huge and wide office, numerous employees looked towards the man’s back with complex expressions, waiting for a reply.

On the wall, five large characters were embedded.

“Snow Sea Project Team!”

And there was a huge logo.

A bright red Demon’s eye.

Soon, a voice came through from the gigantic screen in front of the man.

“If Blue Star weren’t targeted by the Hundred Generations Bounty, people from Starfield wouldn’t have gone there. Didn’t you bring this upon yourselves? Why are you so resentful?”

“The team responsible for Solar Star had their planet annihilated after years of running behind, and even they didn’t have such a strong reaction.”

“This is our own fault?”

The man standing in front of the screen couldn’t help but laugh angrily as he spoke, “Every action taken by Chen Yi was within the rules. Which behavior broke the rules?”

“Regardless of the Hundred Generations Bounty!”

“Starfield Continent’s Threefold Planet can’t initiate a Race Duel against planets still in the Newbie Protection Period. This is an SSS grade rule—how dare you violate it?”@@novelbin@@

He learned of this upon arriving at the Logitech Star in the 3rd Star System.

But he wasn’t worried; after all, planets from the Threefold Planet couldn’t initiate a Race Duel Battle against those still in the Newbie Protection Period. If it wasn’t a Race Duel Battle, he believed Chen Yi could handle any minor shenanigans.

However, if it was a Race Duel Battle, Chen Yi wouldn’t be able to withstand it!

He was all too aware of what a Race Duel Battle entailed—if it weren’t for deep-seated hatred, races would not initiate such a thing!

At this time, another voice came from the screen.

“We are within the rules just as you are.”

“Please check the system announcement. Logitech Star is a Twofold Planet, not a Threefold one. It demoted itself from Threefold to Twofold recently and is no longer a Threefold Planet.”

“There isn’t a single rule stating that a Twofold Planet can’t initiate a Race Duel against a planet still in the protection period.”

“We understand how you feel, however—”

“Please accept our condolences.”

“Just like the Solar Star Project Team that was wiped out by Blue Star’s player Chen Yi.”

“…”

The man was stunned for a moment, hastily gesturing in the air to call up the system announcement that had just sounded in the ears of the players from Blue Star.

After reading it carefully,

his face went grim with silence.

The announcement indeed showed that Logitech Star was a Twofold Planet!

Threefold Planets couldn’t initiate a Race Duel Battle against those still in the protection period, but Twofold Planets could—this was actually a loophole in the rules.

Because the A-grade prop “Race Duel Order” required to initiate a Race Duel Battle can only be obtained in Starfield, meaning, only Threefold Planets could acquire this prop.

Naturally, there was no need to specify a rule forbidding Twofold Planets from initiating Race Duels against protected planets.

But who could have foreseen Logitech Star would downgrade itself, thereby exploiting this loophole?

This loophole would soon be closed in the next update, but so what? By that time, Blue Star would no longer exist.

Upgrade games have always been like this, fixing bugs with every update, without regard for players who have benefited or suffered from them.

Thus, everything would be reasonable and within the rules.

The man who had been standing tall suddenly crumpled, a hint of despair flashed across his eyes, he let out a wry laugh and sat down in his chair without speaking again.

“Chen Yi, oh Chen Yi.”

“When people start to lose their shame, I am helpless.”

…

ps: More to come later.
