There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 346: Chapter 301: There is not a single good person in the whole building.

“Watch the steps, Teacher.”

The man with the gas mask was carefully escorting the young-looking man onto the heavy truck parked behind him, originally guessing that the younger man could be a Professional.

But after the brief exchange with the young man, he was even more convinced that not only was he a Professional, but also one of those high-ranking ones.

Such a demeanor…

It’s not something that can be mimicked by just anyone.

Nonetheless, he still held a trace of suspicion; when Chen Yi stepped onto the heavy truck, the man narrowed his eyes slightly towards the nearby warning light.

There was no reaction.

No alarm sounded.

Should anyone carrying firearms or other heat-emitting weapons cross that warning light, it would start beeping. But when the young man crossed, the light didn’t react at all, proving that he wasn’t carrying any heat-based weaponry.

He truly walked the streets of Ao City alone, unarmed.

That didn’t just require courage.

It required confidence.

After realizing this, the middle-aged man with the gas mask became even more respectful and ushered Chen Yi into the vehicle. Once Chen Yi was seated inside the compartment, the man ventured to ask.

“You are not a local from Ao City, are you, Teacher? The accent doesn’t quite fit.”

In truth, he couldn’t tell whether Chen Yi had a local accent or not.

But this was a common tactic used by their kind to probe for identities. Of course, they couldn’t outright ask, “Where are you from?” That way of inquiring was too direct, strongly hinting at snooping intentions, and could easily make people feel hostile and defensive.

This was not the way to ask.

So, claiming the other party isn’t a local became a handy trick.

No matter how the other party responds, yes or no, you could obtain some information.

Chen Yi, sitting on a couch inside the compartment, with his eyelids slightly drooped, did not speak, clearly showing no intention to respond.

Seeing he was getting nowhere, the middle-aged man did not dare to get angry. He just awkwardly chuckled twice before sitting back down on a chair nearby and silently waved his subordinate away. He then picked up a teacup from the table and poured a cup of tea for Chen Yi before sitting down quietly in his own chair.

He placed his hands flatly on his thighs.

He looked like a committed student listening attentively in a classroom.

The only thing out of place was the large gas mask on his head.

…

Meanwhile, the live stream chat was furiously active.

“I get it now, Chen Yi wants to pose as a Professional in this world? Not a bad starting point, but he’s been exposed too easily.”

“Exposed too easily? With those obvious words above the Professional’s head, how can it be faked? The moment he takes action, he’ll be busted instantly, and once that happens, death is all Chen Yi has left.”

“More than just death… haven’t you seen what kind of character these NPCs in the maps have? This is in no way a normal city. Once they find out Chen Yi has deceived them, forget death, he won’t escape torture. That’s when the real torment begins, unable to live or die.”

“With such a debut on the first map, it’s going to be hard for Chen Yi to lift his head. This live stream is being watched by all the Starfield players, and I thought we’d get to see Chen Yi strut his stuff in the map. I heard from a friend in Annihilation Starfield that Chen Yi’s individual strength is freakishly over the top, the kind that can single-handedly take on a clan, overwhelmingly dominating… It’s just too bad, we probably won’t get to see Chen Yi in action this time.”

“Exactly. With so many people in the chat, who isn’t here to see the badass who could wipe out the Ten Clans with a single move? But the Annihilation Starfield Project Team directly chose such a map for Chen Yi, seriously sickening.”

“…”

Laying on the throne, Li Yi struggled to turn his body before glancing at the live stream and said to Wang Qi nonchalantly, “What do you think? If it were you, with the map’s progress up to now, what would your breakthrough be?”

“Me?”

Wang Qi frowned and pondered for a long while before speaking, “So far, all I’ve seen is that these Professionals possess unimaginable abilities, and it’s not clear whether firearms can harm them.”

“But one can clearly deduce that this world is dominated by Professionals.”

“If it were me, I might gather some desperadoes and then figure out a way to arm them with a batch of firearms, fighting our way through.”

Hearing this, Li Yi shook his head, smiling helplessly, “Typical of the man who named Qi Daddy Starfield, always so brute in his actions. Fighting and killing aren’t the best ways, we need positive energy.”

“Cut the nonsense,”

Wang Qi glared at Li Yi discontentedly, “If it were you, do you have any strategies?”@@novelbin@@

“Of course, I do.”

Li Yi took the cigar offered by a beautiful assistant and took a deep breath before tossing the cigar casually into the nearby swimming pool, “From Chen Yi’s perspective, as you must have seen, this world, although chaotic, still has shops, vehicles, office buildings.”

“What does this imply?”

“It implies that while the social order of this world has become extremely chaotic, it still retains the basic commercial operation system.”

“As long as there is commerce, I can use my means to take control of this world again.”

“No matter how strong people are, as long as there is Li Yi, everyone can be reaped.”
