There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 103 "We shouldn't need a bonfire in this weather at all.

"Black Trench City?"

On the sled, Sword Without End carefully removed his eyepatch, sterilized his wound again, and put on a new eyepatch before he couldn't help but grimace in pain and said.

"Who are you all going to kill there? An old enemy?"

"I just went to Black Trench City to finish off someone a while back."

"A trash-talker with a foul mouth."

Tuberculosis Rabbit cursed irritably, "It's Zhou Ping, the one who was bragging about competing with us on the leaderboard recently. Yi didn't bother with him at first, to be honest, Yi didn't take him seriously at all."

"And then this guy just dragged us into a map."

"How come?"

Sword Without End was startled for a moment, frowning, "Did this guy attack you in the map? That's pretty sneaky."

"Nothing like that, if this guy really had the guts, I would have thought better of him."

"But what this guy did was find a map where players can't attack each other and, in that map, he taunted Yi for over an hour. He didn't lift a finger, just ran his mouth."

"Maybe this guy still thinks it's like the old internet society where you can anonymously flame someone online, and no one can find you once you log off."

"We definitely couldn't tolerate that, so we're preparing to send that guy off early."

"Heh."

Upon hearing this, Sword Without End couldn't help but laugh, "That's really something. Does Black Trench City specialize in producing trash-talkers?"

"The guy I went to kill in Black Trench City a while back was a trash-talker too."

"When I found him, he was rummaging through a trash can, too scared to venture into the city to kill monsters, didn't even have a Point to buy a bun."

"That's not important."

Tuberculosis Rabbit shook his head.

"Just a villain, easily killed, no hassle at all."

"But what's important is what you mentioned just now, about how you got into that map. A pass?"

"That's not it."

Sword Without End furrowed his brow and pondered for a long time before he spoke, "Didn't I tell you guys about an organization before? It's an organization that formed spontaneously by many powerful players in the later world, which they've named 'Skywake'."

"This time it was a player from that organization who found me, saying they invited some capable people to join the map, and I didn't refuse."

"But I didn't expect it to turn out this way."

"The players who entered with me were all quite strong, but unexpectedly, we were caught off guard."

"The later world is the common term nowadays; the world after the game's arrival is called the later world, and the time before that is known as pre-later world."

"But this time it was in the form of a mission offered to me, the others who went in with me the first time should've received the notification too."

Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded and said no more.

For a moment, nobody spoke, everyone was silent.

The distance between Yancheng and Black Trench City wasn't far.

Just a matter of ten minutes or so.

...

"You know Zhou Ping?"

Tuberculosis Rabbit casually picked up a Grade E Prop and waved it in front of a young man, smiling at the sudden sparkle in the young man's eyes, "Lead us to him and this is yours."

Grade E Props are mostly useless.

They're generally for life-related purposes.

Like that coffee machine, the mirage food series props, and so on.

They're usually items that don't help with combat ability but can provide assistance at certain special moments, mostly serving as collectibles in Tuberculosis Rabbit's backpack for Chen Yi and the others.

Don't think this thing can only chop trees because it's quite convenient for it; it's capable of so much more.

In just an instant, the standalone villa had disappeared from sight, completely flattened by the passing sled, leaving only a pile of building rubble on the empty lot.

That was much more straightforward than any demolition by explosion.

Sword Without End's mouth gradually opened wide, and he stiffened in place, struggling to believe the ruins of the villa before him. He instinctively turned to look at Three-Foot Qingfeng beside him.

Take a look at that vehicle.

Then take a look at your own vehicle.

These aren't even in the same league. No wonder that vehicle ranks first on the Global Vehicle Leaderboard—with an unreasonable destructive power like this, the first place is indeed well-deserved.

And the young man, who hadn't run far with the prop in his chest, upon hearing the noise behind him, instinctively turned to look back. When he saw that the villa, which had stood on the lot moments ago, was now reduced to ruins, his heart skipped a beat.

His legs pumped even harder, sprinting away into the distance.

The first rule of being a traitor:

Leave the crime scene immediately after showing the way.

This was an ancestral teaching passed down from his great-grandfather's generation.

...

"Whew."

Chen Yi controlled the sled hovering above the villa's rubble, jumped down from the sled, and began to search with his cane.

It was uncertain whether any bodies would be found.

He had aimed and struck, and although the acceleration was short and the speed not at its maximum, it was not weak either.

Such speed flinging debris would blow blood and dust together into the air.

But just to be safe, he decided to search anyway, in case Zhou Ping somehow survived the hit and came back to life, causing him endless troubles.

That would be pretty annoying.

"That..."

Tuberculosis Rabbit, looking at Yi who was diligently searching through the ruins, muttered somewhat absently: "No need to look anymore, Zhou Ping's name has already disappeared from the Global Vehicle Leaderboard."

"It vanished in that instant."

"He must be dead beyond a doubt."

"Honestly, it would be very difficult for a normal person to survive under these circumstances, right?"

"Indeed."

Chen Yi patted his hands, jumped onto the sled with a hint of regret, and stopped it beside Tuberculosis Rabbit: "Get in, let's head to the map Sword Without End mentioned and have a look."

"He's dead already?"

"To think that a top ten figure on the Global Vehicle Leaderboard would be so easy to kill."

There was still half an hour left before they reached the map.

A task meant to be completed in an hour was resolved in just half an hour, and suddenly, there was a sense of boredom.

"Here."

Tuberculosis Rabbit, sitting next to the sled, kindled a fire, sat cross-legged beside it, and casually tossed a cigarette to Sword Without End: "You look about 40, don't you, so how come you talk just like us youngsters, without a generational gap at all?"

"That..."

Sword Without End also sat cross-legged beside the fire, feeling the heat wave from the flames, hesitated for a moment before he questioned cautiously: "Although there is a chill at night, the season is still in the heat of summer."

"Surely we don't need a fire right now, do we?"

"Look at you."

Tuberculosis Rabbit glanced at Sword Without End with some speechlessness: "I just said there was no generation gap between you and us young people, and here it is right away."

"That way of thinking is outdated."
