There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 77 "You like to carry with one hand behind your back, right?

Chen Yi, seated on the Frozen Throne, did not speak.

He just leaned back in the chair, his eyes tightly closed, his mind uncontrollably conjuring the image of himself appearing before the public with a special effect spanning a hundred meters.

What a sight that was.

The swagger, if not displayed several times in one's life, would surely be a life lived in vain.

He did not know how much time had passed.

A cautious, probing voice finally came from beneath the throne.

"Uh... are you not satisfied?"

"Show it to me."

Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked down calmly at the man standing before the throne.

"Okay."

The middle-aged man took out a card-like pass from his bosom and suddenly, with a serious expression, barked, "Go!"

The next second—

His wrist flicked violently, and the pass was flung several meters into the air above his head.

As the surrounding players lifted their gazes unconsciously toward the teal card suspended mid-air,

"Clang!"

A crisp sword chime suddenly rang out!

The Three-Foot Qingfeng sword, like a swimming dragon, soared upwards from behind the middle-aged man, its blade catching the pass steadily before shooting towards Chen Yi with force!

And it stopped abruptly less than three fists away from him.

"Please, friend, take a look!"

"Hmm."

With a demeanor neither servile nor overbearing, Chen Yi sat on the throne as if he had no intention of dodging at all, merely retracting the cigarette in his palm that provided one second of invincibility back into his sleeve unnoticed.

And internally, he made a mental note of this middle-aged man's actions.

A challenge, is it?

He did not say much, but reached out to take the pass on the sword's edge and looked at its panel description.

「Prop Name」: "Life Theater Pass."

「Prop Level」: C-Class.

「Prop Effect」: With this pass, one can go to the map "Life Theater" from any location. Each player can only receive a reward once inside the map; after receiving the reward, one cannot enter the map again.

「Prop Restrictions」: Remaining uses (5/10).

「Prop Introduction」: "Life is but a play, but who knows that your life is of the restricted kind?"

"Hmm?"

Chen Yi raised an eyebrow and did not speak. A C-Class map?

A map that could produce a globally unique character action, and it's just a C-Class?

But then he thought that at this point in time, most people probably wanted things to enhance their combat power, not character actions that were utterly useless for combat power.

It made sense then why this map was only a C-Class, as gimmicky items were superficial, while only those that could enhance one's combat power were truly substantial.

Even if the special effects covered a larger area,

They were just special effects, after all.

Unable to inflict even the slightest damage on the enemy.

For the lone wolf players who prize strength, risking their lives to enter the map and struggling to obtain such a reward was simply an insult to their intelligence.

But for the show-off faction...

As long as the map was not certain death, they had to break through it, regardless of the consequences.

However, this remaining count of 5?

Before Chen Yi could ask,

The middle-aged man beneath the throne began to explain, "A person can only receive a reward once in this map."

"Not only is there a globally unique character action in this map."

"There are also other character actions."

"I gave up the reward for ordinary character actions four times in a row, and finally obtained the globally unique character action reward on the fifth attempt."

"But I can no longer enter this map, once a reward has been taken, one cannot re-enter, as it is a single-player map that only allows one player at a time."

"That green afterglow, it must be similar to the colorful flame tail you have, Yi, and belongs to one of the vehicle's trailing effects. As for his departing special effect,"

"whether it's character action or title effect, it's a bit hard to tell."

"But his title seems to hold some substance, likely not a weak effect."

"For such an ostentatious title, it must be backed by some solid qualities."

After a brief pause, Tuberculosis Rabbit then sighed deeply: "I'm starting to get annoyed, this person is just too pretentious."

Chen Yi didn't say anything, just waved his hand to have the soldiers flanking the throne move out to surround and attack the Minotaur Monsters. Then he turned to look at Jiaye standing beside the throne, a smile suddenly curling the corners of his mouth.

"Why did you suddenly decide to improvise?"

There was no time earlier.

He had to complete changing costumes, creating distance, managing expressions, and other meticulous actions all while Tuberculosis Rabbit was drawing everyone's attention, leaving no time to communicate with Jiaye.

The act of Jiaye pouring wine for him had been completely improvised by Jiaye himself.

But it must be said, the effect was excellent.

"Hehe~"

Jiaye stood next to the throne's armrest, clutching the hem of her dress with smiling eyes, letting out a bell-like laugh before raising an eyebrow: "Because I guessed what you were thinking, that's why."

"How was it, did I play the role of the Queen convincingly?"

"The Queen?"

Chen Yi looked surprised as he turned to look at Jiaye: "You were playing the Queen? I thought you were a maid."

"..."

Jiaye's smile suddenly froze in place, with a flash of speechlessness in her eyes, a bit unsure how to respond.

At this moment, Chen Yi also noticed the anomaly beneath Jiaye's feet.

He saw that Jiaye's feet had never actually touched the ground; when she was in the air, she was barefoot, but upon walking on the ground, there would appear two spontaneously manifesting waves, carrying Jiaye forward.

Any dust that sometimes settled was quickly washed away by the water waves.

It turned out they were real waves, not just effects.

"What do you think?"

Noticing Chen Yi's gaze, Jiaye's eyes curved like crescents. She looked down at the two constantly rolling waves under her feet with satisfaction and smiled happily.

"Do they look nice?"

"This is the fashion effect of my C-class strappy dress. No need to wear shoes, no chance of getting sore feet, and it even increases movement speed."

"Is it freshwater?"

Chen Yi asked, his brow slightly furrowed.

"Ah?"

Jiaye paused in place for a moment, not quite understanding what he meant.

"I mean, are those two rolling waves under your feet freshwater or saltwater?"

"If it's freshwater, it's no problem—could even be used as a water resource in critical times."

"But if it's saltwater, that's a bit troublesome, as prolonged soaking in saltwater can erode the skin."

"Freshwater is sweet, saltwater is salty."

"Taste them, and you'll know if it's freshwater or saltwater."

"..."

Jiaye stood silently in place, her body slightly rigid, not speaking or knowing what to say.

And just then,

The players finally started to come to their senses as if waking from a dream and resumed the previous commotion, chatting while raising their cleavers high to face the nearby Minotaur Monsters.

...

"Isn't that nice."

Li Yide stood in place, one hand behind his back, musing dreamily: "Everyone likes to keep one hand behind their back, huh?"

"Is it like your arm's broken and in a cast, unable to come back out?"

"Got hemorrhoids itching or something?"

"Why not tuck all your limbs behind your back instead?"

"Little Liu, we need to start acting too, otherwise, look at those mountains ahead, they're pressing down on people so much they can barely breathe."
