Chapter 305: Chapter 281: “Pack up, we’re leaving tomorrow.
“`@@@@
It wasn’t long before Jiaye and Sword Without End returned as well; for them, returning from hell wasn’t difficult.
“Yi.”
Tuberculosis Rabbit, who had returned from hell, walked up to Chen Yi, who was lying on the beach chair, and after a long silence, finally spoke up, “How about having some barbecue?”
“Sure, let’s eat.”
Chen Yi, lying on the beach chair, chuckled lightly and closed his eyes, enjoying a moment of tranquility.
All of Yancheng was unusually quiet at this time, void of any noise.
There were no hawker’s cries from below the buildings, no chatter of pedestrians on the roads, no players discussing the map.
On the rooftop of the building opposite, the smokers who used to gather, now, were nowhere to be seen.
The entire city of Yancheng had seemingly become a ghost town.
Empty overnight.
Perhaps Solar Star was the same.
But the pain in his body had not subsided, although the injuries were under control as he lay on the beach chair, the pain didn’t disappear.
“Okay.”
Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded with a complex expression, not bringing up the recent alien invasion but instead starting to prepare the barbecue with Sword Without End.
He knew that what Yi needed now was not comfort.
In such a situation, all they could do was to accompany Yi.
Forget about rushing out and fighting with their lives.
During the Newbie Protection Period, they simply couldn’t leave Blue Star.
And right then—
A voice rang out in the ears of all players in the third Star System.
‘Star System Announcement!’
“Ding, let us congratulate Twofold Planet Logitech Star on successfully passing the threefold trial, ascending to a Threefold Planet, and moving on to Starfield to embrace a new future.”
‘Wish you all good luck!’
Then, several nearly identical alerts sounded in succession.
‘Star System Announcement!’
“Ding, let us congratulate Twofold Planets Red Plum Star, Meiju Star, Duoga Star...”
‘...’
The five planets that launched the Race Duel Battle against Blue Star had, shortly after the war, passed the threefold trial map, ascended back to a Threefold Planet, and left the third Star System.
Just as they said they would.
With their strength, even if they fell to Twofold Planets, they could ascend again in a matter of minutes.
They were gone.
But the memory they left for the players of the third Star System would never fade.
The moment Tuberculosis Rabbit heard the announcements, he was startled, then instinctively looked up at Yi, seeing that Yi’s face remained calm without a ripple, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully.
Yi’s psychological resilience was still as strong as ever.
He was genuinely afraid that Yi would be provoked into making some rash move.
As long as the Green Mountain remains, there’s no fear of running out of firewood; the monks can run, but the temple can’t be moved. Those Threefold Planets waiting in Starfield will just have to wait until they break through the Newbie Protection Period and step by step ascend.
One day, the grudge could be avenged.
After that, he eagerly picked up a skewer of meat that was ready and trotted over to Chen Yi, smiling ingratiatingly, “Yi, come eat some meat.”
“Okay, everyone eat, too.”
Chen Yi smiled as he took the meat skewer and gently stroked the back of Jiaye’s head, who was crying softly against him, and whispered softly.
“You’ve been wronged.”
...
“Don’t lose heart, Yi.”
“Can’t win?”
Lying on a beach chair, Chen Yi glanced casually at Tuberculosis Rabbit and said nonchalantly, “Who said I can’t win?”
“Ah?”
Tuberculosis Rabbit was taken aback, exchanging a puzzled look with Sword Without End, and somewhat bewildered replied, “Yi... um...”
He was somewhat confused.
Wasn’t Yi constantly on the receiving end of a beating? Why was he suddenly saying this?
Had Yi been so provoked that something was wrong?
After a pause, Chen Yi slowly closed his eyes and said calmly, “I can’t win because I don’t dare fight back or rather, I don’t dare risk it all.”
“I cannot die.”
“If I die, Blue Star will face annihilation.”
“I am the only surviving player on Blue Star. No matter what, I must live. I cannot die, nor will I let myself die.”
“But you see, before lying down on this beach chair, did I have no chance of killing them?”
“I could kill them.”
“It would just take a bit longer since they have a lot of defensive props, and the power of their props and skills is substantial, too much for my Forever Pure to withstand.”
“If we continued to fight, the final outcome would be me killing a number of Logitech Star players, then getting killed.”
“However—”
“This is because they came to my home ground, knowing that I would not risk it all for Blue Star, that’s why they dared to be so reckless.”
“But what if I were to go to their home ground?”
“One life for a hundred.”
“It doesn’t matter if I die. Blue Star players won’t die because of it, nor will Blue Star face annihilation because of me. I can fight without any worry, unleashing attacks on those Alien Race’s heads until the very last drop of blood is drained.”
“When I climb out of hell, everything will start anew.”
“...”
Tuberculosis Rabbit’s mouth slowly opened wide, his eyes flashed with disbelief, and for a while, he was so shell-shocked that he couldn’t utter a sound.
He understood what Yi meant.
That’s right.
Yi wasn’t incapable of killing those Alien Race players; it was just that he couldn’t afford to die and had to take the beatings passively, but once Yi had settled the Blue Star players and then went to those planets’ home ground!
One life for a hundred!
In theory, so long as the Logitech Star players didn’t climb out of the hell map faster than Chen Yi, Yi had a chance to wipe them out!
Then, the real competition wouldn’t be about the overall strength of the Race but individual strength—who could climb out of the hell map faster.
Speaking of individual strength!
Which player from those Twofold Planets could match Yi’s strength!?
None.
Then, his expression turned excited as he suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed, “Yeah, Yi, you’re right, I almost forgot about that.”
“Then things are easy to deal with.”
“Once we get through the Newbie Protection Period, then advance to Twofold Planets, and charge onto Starfield, we’ll surely avenge our previous disgrace!”
“We still have over 7 months left in our Newbie Protection Period, plus the time needed for advancement, we can take our revenge within a year!”
“A year?”
Chen Yi leaned back in the chair, found a comfortable position, and lay down again, saying softly, “Too long.”
“Pack up; we leave tomorrow.”

ps: Just this chapter for today, but I’ll update a few more chapters by 23:59 tonight. Rest assured, the average will still be 10,000 words a day.
