There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 250: Chapter 242: “Their Ambitions, Always Inappropriately Swelling.

“If the several ranks behind the top ten are all considered people with special abilities from among the populace, then those in the top few ranks can no longer be considered just talented individuals, right?”

“Should they be considered mutants instead?”

“This Jin Haitao who is ranked third, is he even human?”

“Using his arms as the sole power, he soared in the air for 5 minutes before landing and serving a dish with three courses and a soup?”

“Is that something achievable with props?”

“Did he steal Luffy’s Gum-Gum Fruit from One Piece?”

Tuberculosis Rabbit looked emotionlessly at the player ranked third on the leaderboard, momentarily at a loss for words.

Indeed.

Even the existence of the internet hasn’t fully unearthed the attributes of humanity.

Just like in the past, although the internet was so widespread, he had no idea there were so many extraordinary people and events.

But now with the leaderboard, it’s different.

It reveals many things that were not visible before.

Sometimes one has to admit, the diversity of biological species is vast.

“As for the first place...”

Tuberculosis Rabbit looked at the current first place on the leaderboard, his mouth twitching uncontrollably, unable to help but state.

The most ruthless people are numerous.

‘Arena Master’: Li Hen.

‘Action’: Crimson Rose.

The video content was simple.

A man, wielding a somewhat rudimentary craft knife.

In just 30 minutes, this man carved himself into a gigantic rose with that very craft knife.

No head, no limbs to be seen.

When the final cut severed his last remaining arm, all that was left on the video was a rose over a meter tall continuously dripping with blood.

The texture was intricately detailed, not roughly carved into the shape of a rose, but every vein, every branch detail was meticulously sculpted.

Real flower petals were used as materials in the middle of the process.

Half an hour later.

A more than one-meter-tall rose continuously dripping fresh blood appeared in the frame.

Dead or alive?

That was unclear, as after the last cut was made, the man in the video made no additional movements; whether he was still breathing was even more uncertain, as his face was no longer visible.

The whole person was carved such that he no longer resembled a human.

Whether viewed from a distance or up close, all one could see was a bleeding rose.

Number of players completed...0!

Yes.

So far, this move has not been completed by any player worldwide.

“This move...”

Sword Without End spoke with a complicated expression, “First of all, to complete this move, you must possess medical skills or a medical prop, and the level must not be too low.”

“At minimum a C-grade prop, even a B-grade for safety, to ensure that carving oneself like this won’t lead to death halfway through.”

“Secondly, it requires an extremely strong psychological endurance. Most people can’t bring themselves to harm their own body, let alone carve themselves into such a thing without anesthesia, enduring severe pain.”

“However, it seems that this person didn’t suffer at all; when his expression was still visible, he was even smiling, showing no signs of pain.”

“Lastly, it demands superb sculpting skill.”

“Even though the video seems gory and shocking, one has to admit that carving a living person, on the basis of some real petals, into a gigantic bleeding rose requires high technical prowess.”

At this moment, her best friend, Liu Xiaochan, was patting her chest in relief, her eyes full of terror as she spoke with a trembling voice, “Thank goodness you were here, otherwise, if I entered this map alone, I’d probably be gone without a place of burial by the third challenge.”

The death rate in this map was extremely high.

Much higher than she imagined. Out of 109 players that entered the map, only 17 emerged alive.

That shows the cruelty of the death rate.

But although the death rate was high, the rewards were exceptionally generous, especially for the two of them, who received nearly perfect clearance ratings and thus got the highest rewards among the survivors.

“Peiqi,”

Liu Xiaochan was still not over the shadow of death, looking at Li Peiqi with eyes full of the joy of survival, “In the last three challenges, how did you figure out which were the paths to life and which were to death?”

“There were only thirty seconds. There was no chance to make many judgments based on the information around us.”

“Simple,”

Li Peiqi said with a bit of smugness, hands on her hips, “Before entering this map, I timed it to enter at 23:59, and my method of death hadn’t changed.”

“It was still being killed by Chen Yi.”

“Not dying in this map.”

“So naturally, I didn’t need to worry as much. This is a weapon of cause and effect; in a certain sense, before I get killed by Chen Yi, I am almost an undying entity.”

“Unless I deliberately seek death.”

“Or some unexpected accident occurs.”

Her A-class Prop “Last Words” death method only updated every night at midnight, meaning even the next day, the Prop’s designated method of death would still be by Chen Yi’s hands.

However, there was still a chance of being crushed to death by a meteor from the sky.

If the Prop’s death method could update in real-time.

Then...

It wouldn’t be an A-class Prop anymore.

At the very least, it would have to be an S-class Prop; no, it might even touch upon SS-class Props.

To know in real-time one’s method of death, what a terrifying existence that would be—meaning one could skirt the edge of death and amass rewards with abandon.

And aside from dying of old age, there would virtually be no risk of death at all.

There would be no need to time map entries meticulously; no matter how difficult the map, she could enter blindly and without a second thought.

And it was at that moment—

She suddenly saw the Guild Leader’s message.

‘Li Peiqi, that gang has started to act. Everyone used some tricks to link up Chen Yi and Sky Demon Star, wanting to test the effect and see if they could use Chen Yi as a lethal weapon.’

“...”

Li Peiqi’s smile, which had just brightened her face, suddenly froze. After a moment, her expression cooled down; she calmly changed out of her blood-stained clothes and into a clean white dress, murmuring softly,

“Sometimes, I really admire these men.”

“They clearly know the risks of great death, yet they still take the gamble to conquer and control a man stronger than themselves.”

“Why?”

“The people who can make it to this position shouldn’t be too stupid.”

“Their ambitions always expand inappropriately.”

“It’s very normal,”

Liu Xiaochan said somewhat helplessly, “Anyone who’s made it this far has climbed out from a sea of corpses, having lingered on the edge of death hundreds of times.”

“They won’t be afraid.”

“So what do we do now?”

...

ps: Something unexpected came up these two days, damn it, I’ll focus on writing first. Tonight I’ll make up for the updates from the past two days, and then in the last chapter, I’ll talk about what happened these days—it’s simply shocking!!
