There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 41 "Ding, Player Chen Yi, hello.

"Since there's nothing wrong, I'm off."

Chen Yi urged the sleigh on, and immediately left Sunset City, shooting off into the distance.

There were mainly two purposes for this trip.

First, to see if he could find a higher-level Insect Race Queen, such as a Level 3 or even a Level 4 Matriarch...

Second, the 'Wilderness Pass' prop had him feeling slightly uneasy; he planned to go out and see if Blue Star had suddenly acquired some new maps, otherwise the introduction to this prop was rather suggestive.

Just as his sleigh had left Sunset City not long before, he suddenly noticed something odd within the city.

An abrupt stop.

He halted the sleigh mid-air and turned to look back at Sunset City, finally spotting what was amiss.

Within Sunset City, there were no fewer than nine enormous old men dressed in Christmas attire.

Each stood as tall as a three-story building.

A nearly ten-meter-tall mini-boss.

And these nine old men in Christmas attire stood in the middle of Sunset City like statues, motionless, with players occasionally approaching to chat with Santa Claus.

"Hm?"

Chen Yi's brows slightly furrowed, and he squinted in confusion without speaking.

What the heck was this?

In Yancheng, he had never seen such a thing.

It was only during the limited-time event on May 20th that some Cupids made an appearance.

Afterward, he glanced at a prop in his pack to make sure there were no issues before he relaxed and prepared to go down for a closer look.

The last time he killed a Level 2 Insect Race Matriarch, a defensive prop dropped.

'Prop Name': A cigarette that won't light.

'Prop Level': C-grade.

'Prop Introduction': When you have this cigarette in your mouth, you will possess a strong premonition of danger, and upon activating this prop, you will have one second of Invincible Time. After use, it cools down for 24 hours.

'Prop Introduction': "One second of invincibility is pretty strong."

Defensive props seem to be rarer than offensive and functional ones.

They're not even sold in the Points Store.

So far, he had only seen this one, dropped by the Insect Race Queen, and even though it was just one second of invincibility, it was enough.

As for the Tuberculosis Rabbit.

It was best to grip the Claw Knife in reverse and strike; the best defense was offense, and he had been charging up for so long without testing its effect yet.

In any case, after completing the task,

you would get a random gift package, as well as 30-80 random Points.

In the gift package, random items such as Skill Fragments and props could be found.

When you think about it, this could actually greatly speed up most players' growth.

After all, for average players, the fastest way to improve their might is by doing tasks, and such high-return tasks are favored by most of them.

No wonder there are so many players gathered around here, it turns out they've all come to take on tasks.

"Hmm?"

Chen Yi's attention was suddenly drawn to a prop in the Santa Claus Store.

Title Name: Patron of the Lonely Elderly

Obtaining Method: Exclusively obtained after successfully helping Santa Claus return home.

Title Price: 1000 Santa Claus Points.

1000 Santa Claus Points, amounting to 1000 Points, was practically like a sprinkling of light rain for Chen Yi.

"Buy!"

Without even checking the other items, he decided to purchase this title first.

After all, the title was limited to three purchases per person.

And so far, no one had bought one.

Forget it, he'd buy all three, give one to Tuberculosis Rabbit, and keep the rest for appreciation in value later.

Since he had suddenly come into a large sum of Points, he found he'd developed a habit: he couldn't help but buy out items that were limited for purchase in the shop.

If they were limited, they had to be good.

Just then—

Chen Yi suddenly froze for a second; his Christmas Cane had a feature that allowed seeing through obstacles!

And when he had looked up at Santa Claus just now, he suddenly saw through the disguise of his Christmas outfit.

Underneath the costume wasn't an old man, nor a beauty, but astonishingly a reindeer with plum blossom-shaped antlers.

The name above its head read...

"I am a little reindeer, I stole Santa Claus's package, snuck back to the past to sell it, I'm so clever, surely no one will find out. If by chance someone does, and since I have no means of attack, all they could do is rob me. But luckily under the name of Santa Claus, no player would attack me."

"..."

This reindeer's name is awfully long.

Chen Yi's expression grew increasingly strange as he looked at the reindeer inside the Santa Claus outfit. Instead of reaching for his cane, he slowly rolled up his sleeves.

It looked like he wouldn't need to pay after all.
