There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 33 "The children will like this vehicle.

Chen Yi returned to his rented apartment in Yancheng.

Downstairs in the residential complex, he already saw numerous posters plastered in the announcement board.

They were generally recruitment notices for some people to go to the edge of Yancheng to build defensive structures.

The salary was quite good.

Three Points per day.

And this information had almost completely eliminated the circulation of cash; the state had stepped in and begun transactions with Points, thus cash had completely lost its purpose.

Starting from today.

Points would become the official currency in circulation.

The night had already fallen.

But the complex was unusually bustling tonight, with many people gathering around, discussing animatedly.

From the topics of their discussions, it was clear that everyone had realized something.

That was, hiding all the time might not solve the problems anymore.

One must become stronger to have a sense of security.

And when Chen Yi arrived, everyone shut their mouths instantaneously, their expressions slightly tense, and their eyes filled with a mix of fear and respect as they watched Chen Yi walk away.

Once Chen Yi was far away.

The crowd started to discuss animatedly once again.

"Is it really him alone who killed all the monsters outside Yancheng?"

"Isn't that obvious? Haven't you seen the title above his head, Invincible Under the Heavens? Currently, only Chen Yi has that title, right?"

"Who knows how strong he is now?"

"That, no one knows, but the title Annihilate Nine Clans makes one feel slightly apprehensive to approach him."

"It's my first time realizing Chen Yi lives in our complex. So... from another point of view, is our place not one of the safest in Yancheng?"

As the words fell.

All exchanged glances, understanding the message in each other's eyes.

...

Chen Yi first set aside the props he had found on Liu Yishou, sighing regretfully that he hadn't found the Arena prop he wanted.

That prop would have been perfect for him.

With it, he could basically do as he pleased.

But it hadn't dropped.

He wasn't sure if it was a one-time use prop or for some other reason, in any case, it hadn't dropped.

He had found four props on Liu Yishou and the others, which were some life props with not very powerful effects. Only one prop was a bit interesting.

'Prop Name': A small and cute plum.

'Prop Level': E-level prop.

'Prop Effect': When you are in an extremely hungry and thirsty state, just one glance will make the feeling of hunger and thirst instantly disappear, with no cooldown, and it can be used repeatedly.

'Prop Restrictions': It can only eliminate psychological hunger and thirst, not the physical state of hunger and thirst.

'Prop Introduction': "The hunger and thirst referred to here are solely in the literal sense."

It's a pretty good prop for survival in the wilderness.

Being able to not feel hunger and thirst when lacking food and water is beneficial, but the downside is significant. With repeated use, it's very possible to die of hunger and thirst even without feeling it.

Then he took a deep breath and opened the Points Store with eager anticipation!

970,000 Points, that was basically the total number of Points a city could get!

He wanted to see if there were any good items.

The first thing that caught his eye were the Skill Fragments.

'E-Level Random Skill Fragment x1': 5 Points.

'E-Level Universal Skill Fragment x1': 50 Points.

'...'

From E-level to C-level Skill Fragments, there was a complete range.

Right now, his urgent task was to exchange for some defensive skills or props to prevent being shot in the back.

He glanced at his personal panel with slight hesitation.

He currently had two skills.

One was a D-grade Skill "Calm and Composed," and the other a C-grade Skill "Annihilate Nine Clans."

Each player could equip a maximum of eight Skills.

Once equipped, it could not be removed. If removed, it would be lost forever and could not be re-equipped.

In other words, if he removed the Calm and Composed Skill from his skill slot, the Skill would disappear from his backpack, and he would not be able to equip it again in the future.

Killing players might drop certain items randomly, but skills would not drop.

Therefore, he had to be cautious every time he equipped a Skill, to avoid a situation in the future where he ran out of skill slots and had to painfully part with one.

He felt somewhat reluctant to part with either of these two Skills.

Calm and Composed may be low level, but it could permanently enhance his physical fitness.

As for Annihilate Nine Clans, there was no need to say more; whether he was slaying monsters or exterminating threats, it was exceptionally useful.

He turned his attention to the "C-grade Universal Skill Fragment" in the store.

"C-grade Universal Skill Fragment x1": 20,000 Points.

"..."

Seeing the price of this item, Chen Yi's mouth twitched slightly, but he said nothing.

What does 20,000 Points mean?

An ordinary person would only earn 1 Point for killing an Insect Race monster, meaning they would need to kill 20,000 monsters just to exchange for a C-grade Skill Fragment.

The difficulty was not small.

The price for a "C-grade Random Skill Fragment x1" was much cheaper, requiring only 2,000 Points, which was a full ten times less expensive than the Universal Skill Fragment of the same level.

"There should be a trading platform," Chen Yi said without speaking.

The Tuberculosis Rabbit by his side licked its lips with some emotion and said, "Everyone could put the Skill Fragments they don't need on the platform and then trade for the Skill Fragments they do need."

"It's possible to pay a little extra in Points, but it's definitely much cheaper than buying Universal Skill Fragments directly from the store."

Chen Yi nodded in agreement without speaking; Tuberculosis Rabbit's words were not wrong.

But to establish such a platform, a good reputation and the ability to quickly transport Skill Fragments to other cities were needed.

So far, it seemed the only entity capable of doing this was the nation itself.

As for whether the game would release such a feature, he was not optimistic. If they were going to implement this feature, they wouldn't have priced the Universal Skill Fragment so much higher than the Random Skill Fragment.

Right now, he had eight different C-grade Skill Fragments in his hand, all rewards from the last event, and each was just in a quantity of one.

Looking at it this way, the rewards from that last 520 limited-time event were quite generous.

By killing a Cupid and achieving number one on the kill ranking, one could obtain C-grade Random Skill Fragment x10, C-grade Universal Skill Fragment x3.

Converted into Points, that was nearly a 100,000 Points reward.

Difficulty-wise,

Securing top damage against Cupid was much easier than killing 100,000 monsters.

This was almost no different from his guess; the 520 limited-time event was a welfare event with generous rewards, allowing players not to be powerless against the "Extraterrestrial Invader" event!

That day... Yancheng must have spawned nearly a dozen Cupids.

Then, he continued scrolling through the Points Store, first taking a general look at everything, before considering what he needed to buy.

The next second—

His gaze stopped on a particular item.

"Vehicle Name": Mechanical Moose Christmas Sleigh!

"Vehicle Level": C-grade Vehicle.

"Vehicle Effect": Can accommodate 8 people simultaneously, maximum speed 280km/h, capable of low-altitude flight, modifiable, consumes 300 Points per hour when activated!

"Vehicle Introduction": "Kids are going to love this Vehicle."

"Vehicle Price": 500,000 Points.

"ps: When the first player acquires the Vehicle, it will trigger a patch update."

"The contents of the update will mainly include the following: opening the Global Vehicle Leaderboard, a Vehicle Modification Panel, and more... etc."

What attracted him most were the few words of the Vehicle's introduction.

"Kids are going to love this Vehicle."

The update on May 1 teased that the new rules added after the June update would concern "life."

And June 1 is Children's Day!

This Vehicle appeared timely in the "Extraterrestrial Invader" Points Store, coupled with that intriguing Vehicle introduction!

Really... it's hard not to speculate!
