There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 79 - 79 - 78: Is This Too Open? (Added for ’Little Bear’ Clan Leader He!)

Chapter 79 – 78: Is This Too Open? (Added for ’Little Bear’ Clan Leader He!)

The crowd bustled about.

After the liveliness of days gone by had faded, although players were still chatting incessantly, their hands were earnestly combating the Minotaur Monsters before them.

At 8 am, the June 1st Children’s Day event would officially kick off.

Grinding for more Points tonight would also provide more leverage to deal with the fresh challenges of June.

Beyond that, there were many things to test out.

Like the definition of food: does it have to be cooked, or can dry and fast-food products also qualify?

Or the meaning of having dinner at 8 pm: does it have to start at 8 pm, or is it just after 8 pm, and are there any specific rules about dinner timing?

Then there’s the June rule that mandates sleep must be between 9 pm and 10 pm and waking before 6 am,

So, can one start sleeping at 3 pm and wake up at midnight?

After all, that also fits the element of being in dreamland between 9 and 10 pm and getting up before 6 am.

Players need to try out these somewhat ambiguous rules themselves, but fortunately, they have three chances to err, which greatly reduces the cost of trial and error.

Of course, all that needs to be put off until June 2nd.

On June 1st, due to the rules taking effect in the wee hours, all players have a one-time exemption from the rules, meaning on the first day, the June rules do not apply.

There is now a lot that can be purchased in the personal panel’s store.

That includes food, water resources, and so forth.

People no longer worry about the lack of fresh food sources, but these items must all be purchased with Points; so far, the only way to acquire Points has been by slaying the monsters outside the city.

There used to be another daily task under the April rules called ’Active Expert’, which awarded 1 Point per day.

But now that the April rules are offline, that source of Points can be said to have completely dried up.

Luckily, these monsters outside the city refresh incessantly, utterly impossible to wipe out, and in the short term are quite a decent source of Points.

Just then—

All players near Yancheng suddenly heard a prompt by their ears!

“Ding, congratulations to Yancheng for successfully completing the main city task!”

“All players may proceed to the task window at Yancheng’s central square to receive tasks; complete them actively for a generous reward.”

“Hm?”

Tuberculosis Rabbit, pulling out a cigarette from his pocket and casually lighting it, exhaled a long puff of smoke before speaking with some confusion, “Yancheng successfully completed the main city task?”

“What main city task? How come we don’t know anything about this?”

“But when we head back later, we can see what tasks there are.”

Afterward, he glanced at Jiaye, who was idly swinging her legs at the side of the Frozen Throne, hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a small card from his pocket and quickly stuffed it into Yi’s hands.

He kept winking and signaling with his eyes.

“What?”

Chen Yi glanced at Tuberculosis Rabbit’s peculiar expression, suddenly thought of something, coughed lightly, and turned his body slightly away from Jiaye to look at the small card in his hands.

’Prop Name’: Silver Party Ticket.

’Prop Rank’: E-grade.

’Prop Effect’: After activation, it can transport the player to a venue and comes with an unremovable mask, with a maximum stay of 12 hours.

’Prop Description’: “Whether absurd or ridiculous, when the moonlight unfolds before your eyes, to not appreciate it would seem somewhat charmless.”

’Prop Price’: Sold directly in the store for 100 Points.

“...”

Just as he suspected, it was indeed the thing he had thought of. Chen Yi looked up at Tuberculosis Rabbit with an awkward expression, noting the eagerness in his eyes. Wait, that’s not just eagerness—it was practically impatience!

With this thought, he shifted his position again so as not to draw Jiaye’s attention.

“Besides, isn’t it a mutual choice in there? Have I done something wrong?”

“Why are you looking like that!”

At this point, Jiaye’s voice trembled slightly, faintly carrying the sound of tears, evidently overwhelmed by the accumulation of past events before the game transformed her.

“...Well.”

Chen Yi hesitated, raising his hand halfway, his mouth opened and closed a few times in reticence before he let out a sigh of resignation, “You’ve misunderstood us.”

“The reason we did that, it’s a little game Tuberculosis Rabbit and I often play where we mimic each other’s actions to see how in sync we are.”

“I wholeheartedly approve of this, no objections.”

“Tie Chui is my brother too.”

“This way.”

Chen Yi threw the ticket he had in his arms to Tuberculosis Rabbit and earnestly instructed him, “I’m giving you a task, take brother Tie Chui to play inside tonight.”

“Just make sure to return by 7 a.m. tomorrow.”

“Make sure brother Tie Chui has a blast.”

“Ah?”

Tuberculosis Rabbit paused, looking toward Tie Chui not far away who was forcefully tossing a Minotaur Monster high into the air, then leaping up on the spot and, while bellowing, punched the Minotaur’s head straight into a deep pit in the ground.

Swallowing hard, a glint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Isn’t that a bit too fierce?

“Are we... really going?”

“Otherwise?”

Chen Yi sat calmly on the Frozen Throne and said softly, “Don’t you want to go?”

“I want to, it’s just that I...”

“Never mind.”

Biting the bullet, Tuberculosis Rabbit gripped the Silver Party Ticket in his hand and strode toward Tie Chui, who was still fighting in the distance!

Actually, he wanted to go with Yi.

Chatting and playing together, what could be better?

Going with Tie Chui somehow felt less fun; he preferred the conversations with Yi, as the others didn’t quite get the points he was trying to make.

But since Yi had instructed him, there was no reason to not follow through.

...

Three minutes later.

Tuberculosis Rabbit and Tie Chui vanished in a flash of white light, not drawing any attention.

“So this is the place?”

As the sensation of weightlessness beneath his feet slowly dissipated, Tuberculosis Rabbit opened his eyes and surveyed his surroundings.

He saw a massive hall in front of him, about half the size of a soccer field.

It looked very elegant.

There was even a full orchestra performing on the stage, the elegant violin music almost subconsciously made one think of fastening a bow tie.

Beneath were several small round tables.

The round tables were laid with a variety of exquisite desserts, and from time to time waiters in suspenders passed in between, carrying trays laden with various beverages.

Many handsome men and beautiful women, dressed in formal attire and wearing masks, were seated in small groups at the tables, engaging in lively and cheerful conversations.

No one was dressed provocatively.

Everyone’s attire was tidy, and unlike what he imagined, there were no raucous sounds of partying or any risqué jokes upon entering.

Everything looked nothing like a Silver Party but rather like a gathering for upper-class socialites.
