There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 54 "Tuberculosis Rabbit, didn't you say you've never been to school?

"What the heck is this?"

Chen Yi, who had already turned the sleigh around and was ready to crack the whip on the reindeer, was stunned for a moment, somewhat failing to react right away. The boss's attack method turns out to be a game of Chinese idiom solitaire?

Isn't that a bit too childish?

Since when does a boss attack by playing idiom solitaire?

Shouldn't becoming a boss mean being a bit more bloody and brutal?

But the countdown in the void had not stopped; it had already begun counting down.

'10, 9, 8...'

Chen Yi had no time to think further, and without any hesitation, he blurted out.

"A glib tongue!"

Playing idiom solitaire with an idiom that starts with "mouth" was relatively easy, but now it should be the boss's turn to respond. What idioms start with "river"?

As he was pondering this.

He suddenly realized the boss's bloodthirsty eyes had shifted direction and were staring straight at Tuberculosis Rabbit beside him, and the countdown had begun anew.

And the idiom displayed in the midair screen had changed as well.

'A glib tongue!'

This...?

This damn thing turns out to be a boss with an area-of-effect attack?

A slight twitch emerged at the corner of Chen Yi's mouth; he felt like he had figured out the boss's attack method. This boss actually had an area-of-effect attack, which meant every round required each person to take a turn?

There are only so many common idioms, and there were dozens of people here. If dozens of people each took turns, after 30 rounds, they would probably all be wiped out.

Not one would survive.

Just as he was about to speak and remind Tuberculosis Rabbit of some idioms that start with "river," he saw Tuberculosis Rabbit suddenly stand up, raise his right hand, and roar,

"The river runs to the sea and dries up!"

"Huh?"

Chen Yi was slightly stunned, then asked reflexively, "Tuberculosis Rabbit, didn't you never go to school?"

"Oh."

Tuberculosis Rabbit touched his nose, looking slightly embarrassed as he said, "Funny story, one website I used required a CAPTCHA that involved arranging jumbled idioms into correct ones."

"I had to log in more than a dozen times daily."

"Gradually I got to know quite a few idioms. Don't worry, Yi, leave the rest to me. I'll take care of him."

"But why did you raise your hand?"

"The river dries up and the sea withers!"

"10, 9, 8..."

It worked!

Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. His Title Effect "That's it? I'm laughing!" allowed him to summon a mouthpiece to insult the boss, and forcibly taunt the boss.

He was initially uncertain if this taunting effect would work on a boss whose attack method was a game of word chain with idioms.

Unexpectedly, it was actually effective.

In that case, Li Tianchou in the sleeping bag also managed to avoid disaster in his sleep.

"Clouds cover the sun!"

As he finished speaking, a burst of white light also suddenly flashed above Chen Yi's head, illuminating the area around him brightly.

The lighting effect of this title wasn't too bad, actually.

"That..."

Tuberculosis Rabbit frowned and looked up at the shadow behind Chen Yi: "Yi, isn't your mouthpiece a bit too filthy with its insults?"

"Shouldn't it be more skillful, like beating around the bush, using allusions, or being satirical or something?"

"This thing is outright insulting, as if it's going to desecrate someone's entire lineage."

"Day ends, path exhausted!"

Indeed, the boss didn't target Tuberculosis Rabbit or Li Tianchou again, but once more turned its gaze to him!

This Title Effect is really strong!

After Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he thought for a while before speaking again.

"Militarism!"

The idiom chain went round after round.

With the help of Tuberculosis Rabbit, Chen Yi narrowly made it through over twenty rounds, and when it came to vocabulary of idioms, Tuberculosis Rabbit was even slightly better than him.

After all, he did not frequent little websites that required jumbled idioms as CAPTCHA codes.

But it seemed like the boss's vocabulary in idioms was very substantial, as it didn't get stuck at all.

Soon—

An idiom emerged once again on the screen in the sky.

"Consistent!"

This time, Chen Yi didn't hesitate for a moment and blurted out."One counts as two!"

"One counts as two" is a black hole in idioms.

There are no idioms that can follow "one counts as two".
