There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

```

He heard the constant sounds of players accepting tasks ringing in his ears.

Chen Yi's eyes narrowed as he looked toward the Rose Guardian's event store and the limited-time marketplace, already thinking about how to spend the Points he would soon acquire.

After the Points were credited.

First, he wanted to get a defensive Prop for himself, which was on sale in the limited-time marketplace, and get one for the Tuberculosis Rabbit as well.

The only pity was that in neither marketplace were there any Skill Fragments available for purchase.

Only Props were being sold.

Even the Minotaur Monsters outside the city didn't drop Skill Fragments—just Props and Points rewards, and the probability of dropping Props was extremely low.

Additionally, Props could now also be obtained from the Sands of Time Map outside the city.

In summary, the means to obtain Props were considerably more numerous than those to obtain Skill Fragments.

Currently, it seemed the only way to acquire Skill Fragments was through the five that players dropped upon death; beyond that, there were no other sources of Skill Fragments, except for the previous 520 gift packet for 88 Points that could yield five random Skill Fragments.

Of course.

In Yancheng, there had already emerged a Bird Market where Skill Fragments could be traded.

One could use Points to buy surplus Skill Fragments from other players or sell their own excess and unwanted Fragments.

Overall, the avenues to acquire Skill Fragments were still far fewer than those for Props.

Soon—

Already a full 400,000 people had accepted the task, and more and more players were continuing to do so, though the pace had slowed and was nearly saturating.

Yancheng was a small city to begin with. Once the trouble started, many people fled back to their rural homes for refuge.

Given the erosion of the May rules, having 400,000 people take on the task was quite impressive.

There were still many who were unwilling to accept the task.

Meanwhile, Chen Yi could also hear the constant sounds of wishing around him.

"10,000 Points will be added to the account of Yancheng task publisher Chen Yi."

"10,000 Points will be added to the account of Yancheng task publisher Chen Yi..."

The whole scene looked particularly bizarre.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hearing so many people chant his name in unison for the first time, Chen Yi, with a strange expression, returned to his sled uneasily, and started the Vehicle, stopping it on the rooftop of a tall building.

It must be said, the feeling was quite strange.

The Vehicle he had just acquired, "Septagon Badge," was already fully Charged. This Prop would start charging whenever someone talked about him nearby and would be fully Charged once 10,000 sentences had been spoken.

After several deliveries to the sea of flowers for Jiaye, it easily reached full Charge.

Being the subject of 10,000 sentences from nearby people.

Frankly, for the average player, that was quite difficult. After all, even if you defecate in the street, you won't attract many onlookers to stop and stare, let alone discuss the matter.

Internal thoughts don't count; it must be spoken out loud, and moreover, by nearby people.

But for him...

Being the subject of public gossip was all too common. Even if he did nothing, simply walking around the city would nearly suffice to Charge it, given the numerous titles hovering above his head—it was hard for people not to talk.

Even hiding away wouldn't work.

The titles would break through the ceiling and still evoke discussion.

That was also why he didn't live in a bungalow. Other homes have chimneys on their rooftops, but his bungalow would be topped with a shining column of light, visible from far away.

The light from his titles was concentrated such that it hardly illuminated the surroundings—it didn't disperse.

If he walked through the dark night, the titles above him hardly lit the path ahead.

But the penetrating power of this light was exceptionally strong.

Even from hundreds of meters away, one could clearly see a pillar of light approaching—a beacon in the deep, unmanned sea engulfed by the darkness of the night, as if even the rocks were forced to emit a painful scream.

In the distance, a lighthouse was slowly creeping closer toward you.

Coming to rescue you.

However, although his "Septagon Badge" was fully Charged, it couldn't be recharged again until the current Charge was used up; only then would the count reset and allow it to Charge again.

There was no way to save up multiple Charges at once.

As long as people around him talked about him, it could Charge. In theory, if the Tuberculosis Rabbit muttered his name in his sleep, even if both of them were asleep, the badge could be Charged.

Unfortunately, the Tuberculosis Rabbit had his own words to say at night, and didn't talk about him. That couldn't be controlled, could it?

Even if it could be controlled, it was still better not to.

Enduring the Tuberculosis Rabbit's sleep-talk all night, as though sleeping in a card game room, was already the limit of his endurance. If he also had to listen to the rabbit discussing him all night while asleep, that would be unbearable.

Anybody trying to sleep at night would be unable to if they heard someone continuously talking about them right next to them.

And especially in a dream.

That'd be too eerie.

Just then—

A notification sound suddenly rang in Chen Yi's ear.

"Ding, 10,000 Points have been credited to your account."

Simple and to the point.

With just 22 characters, but the information conveyed made Chen Yi extremely satisfied.

"That fast?"

```

Chen Yi's eyes flickered with a hint of astonishment as he gazed at his Points Balance in disbelief. How much time had passed since the first player started making a wish? Barely ten minutes at most!

Just ten minutes and the first 100,000 Points had already been credited?

When he saw his account balance, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up, resembling an author who, having finally received his royalties, could afford to splurge on a hotpot meal downstairs.

"Account Balance: 118023."

Nearly 120,000 Points.

"Did it really come through so quickly?"

The Tuberculosis Rabbit, standing next to him on the edge of the rooftop, perked up its ears at his words, leaned forward and looked at Yi's publicly displayed personal panel. Seeing the Points Balance, it too felt somewhat moved and said, "So it really works. I've thought about something like this before but never expected it could actually be done."

"What kind of thing?"

Chen Yi responded casually without turning his head, his eyes brimming with anticipation, wondering if there would be a second arrival of 100,000 Points.

He had no cost for releasing this task; the officials would cover the task rewards on his behalf.

He was making pure profit.

The players were also earning pure profit.

Both parties were making a killing.

"I shall name it 'Morally Binding Bundle Wish Technique'."

The Tuberculosis Rabbit smacked its lips and then gazed into the distance, sighing deeply before continuing leisurely.

"On Blue Star, aren't there several religious beliefs? Every day, there are believers who pray, but few prayers are answered. I was thinking they should coordinate."

"Gather all the believers from around the world."

"For example, if it's Monday today, headquarters would issue a command: all believers are to pray for a certain person's work to go smoothly."

"In this scenario, it would be difficult for God to pretend He didn't hear, even if He wanted to. It would greatly increase the chances of prayers being answered successfully."

"Moreover, a variety of pay-to-win services could be developed, like paying for a VIP queue or skipping the line with a yearly VIP... I think that would be much more interesting."

"..."

Chen Yi glanced at the Tuberculosis Rabbit somewhat speechlessly, too lazy to respond verbally. He had grown accustomed to the Rabbit's erratic thought process.

"Oh right."

Seeing that Yi didn't respond to him, the Tuberculosis Rabbit wasn't embarrassed. Instead, he skillfully changed the subject, a talent of his that ensured conversations never fell flat.

"While you were off accepting the task, someone mentioned they wanted to hit the leaderboards, hoping you would let him take the two top spots of the Rose Guardian."

"He changed his Vehicle's name, but no one paid attention to him."

"Hmm?"

Chen Yi frowned slightly and started browsing the Global Vehicle Leaderboard. He saw a Vehicle with a rather lengthy name listed at the tenth spot.

"Just making an official announcement to everyone, today is the 30-day anniversary of my beloved, Ms. Liu Xiaoqi... Especially the big brother at rank one, please do me the honor."

He glanced at it casually before looking away.

"Don't bother with him. Let him do whatever he wants. If he wants the top spot, let him pay for it."

"It's my first time seeing someone beg for a spot on the leaderboard."

He didn't linger on the thought, instead, he turned around to open Jiaye's chat box. After a few seconds of heartache, he decided to send a Rose Planet.

100,000 Points, oh!

Such a luxury, this was the second time he had ever spent so much in one go!

The next second—

A global announcement appeared before everyone's ears and, as a banner, conspicuously appeared above every player's view.

It was impossible to focus on anything else.

Even players entangled in a boss fight couldn't help but turn to look at the floating announcement.

"Announcement: Player 'Chen Yi' stands leisurely on a high spot, enjoying the worship and envy of all players with a smile that says 'money is no object,' as he sends Ms. Jiaye 99,999 Rose Planets. Let us extend our utmost respect and honor to both of them!"

A banner framed in dazzling lights and adorned with Roses appeared before the eyes of all players.

Following that—

Before Jiaye, standing behind Chen Yi, could react, she suddenly felt herself lifted into the air.

Beneath her feet, the rooftop surface split, and a pillar composed of Roses rose steadily, only stopping after reaching several tens of meters in height.

Looking around, she now stood atop the Rose pillar, at the highest point of Yancheng.

She could even feel gazes from every direction in Yancheng looking up at her, causing her eyes to betray a hint of panic, and her heart was slightly overwhelmed by the sensation.

Then, Roses began to appear out of nowhere in the sky, slowly falling, covering the sky. The Roses raining down upon those on the ground made everyone realize what magical reality looked like!

But—

If Chen Yi were to stroll around other places, he would discover.

It wasn't just above their heads where flowers rained down.

Instead, a shower of Roses had begun to fall from the skies all over the world!

This was an effect that enveloped the entire globe!

All players could witness this grand spectacle because of the 100,000 Points Chen Yi had spent!
