There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 34 "Let's go, I'll take you for a spin.

"Buy!"

Chen Yi made the decision to purchase without any hesitation.

The price of 500,000 Points was indeed very high.

To understand, in the current "Extraterrestrial Invader" event, there were only a mere 1 million Insect Race monsters outside Yancheng, as for the situation in other cities and in some counties and rural areas, he had no idea.

Whether the same number of monsters existed or if the number would decrease with the player population in counties and rural areas was unknown.

But no matter the case.

Gathering 500,000 Points was an exceedingly difficult task; on the "Extraterrestrial Invader Global Points Leaderboard," his ranking was first.

As for the second place, they had only 160,000 Points.

Not even half of his total.

Still, that was pretty impressive. To be able to kill 160,000 monsters on one's own in such a short time, they must have some powerful Prop or Skill.

In other words, right now, he was the only person in the world who could afford this Prop.

He even felt that the project team probably didn't expect anyone could afford this Vehicle, it was likely just there in the Points Store for everyone to take a glance at, just so people knew such a thing would be available in the future.

Without any doubt, he looked at the purchase button for the Vehicle.

The next second—

"Ding, player Chen Yi has spent 500,000 Points to purchase the C-class Vehicle - Mechanical Moose Christmas Sleigh."

Immediately after, he saw a Prop with a sleigh avatar appear in his backpack.

Before he could take a closer look, the sound of a system patch update rang in his ears.

"Ding, global announcement!"

"Due to a player obtaining the world's first Vehicle, a patch update has been triggered; the following are the contents of this patch update—"

"1: The Global Vehicle Leaderboard is now active. Vehicles will be ranked based on their Vehicle Rating, and the top 1-100 on the leaderboard will receive non-permanent title rewards."

"2: All 'non-Prop Vehicles' globally are now unusable, and the removal of related map debris has begun."

"3: The Vehicle customization feature is now active. Players can use Points or Props to customize their Vehicles to a certain extent."

"4: From now on, opening any gift pack or monster drops will have a chance to yield Vehicle Props."

This announcement resonated in the ears of everyone around the world.

"Yi!"

Just then, Tuberculosis Rabbit leaned on the window, looking down at the street below with a shocked and urgent expression, "You've got to see this!"

Chen Yi frowned, walked over to the window, and looked down as well!

All he saw were the vehicles that had been causing traffic jams due to chaos, and now those vehicles had all disappeared.

Public buses, intercity coaches, shared bikes had all vanished, even children's push-scooters had disappeared from the world with the announcement.

That map debris removal from the patch update... that was what it meant.

Meaning.

From now on, people's means of travel would only be their own legs and Vehicle Props.

The entire city seemed somewhat empty and unusually clean. Many pedestrians stood incredulously on the streets, staring at the now-empty roads they had just witnessed the disappearance of cars from.

"It really is thought-provoking,"

Tuberculosis Rabbit spoke with a complex tone, "Once upon a time, everyone was guessing that the end of the shared bikes could be due to the abandonment by capital, due to policy impacts, or because a competitor took over the market."

"Everyone thought of various possibilities, but no one expected that the end of shared bikes would be so swift and decisive."

"That saying is indeed correct; what defeats you is often not your competitor, but it's very possible... a patch update announcement."

"But actually, I'm still a bit saddened about our motorcycle..."

Chen Yi shook his head, no longer concerned about this matter.

Instead, he left the room with Tuberculosis Rabbit and went up to the rooftop.

...

On the rooftop, Chen Yi took out his Vehicle from the backpack and activated it.

Accompanied by a faint puff of white smoke, it exploded.

A C-class vehicle, the Mechanical Moose Christmas Sleigh, officially appeared before their eyes.

Before them, an elongated red sleigh with eight seats suddenly materialized.

At the head of the sleigh,

were four pure white mechanical elks, harnessed together to the sled by reins.

Tuberculosis Rabbit, curious, walked up to the mechanical elks and touched them up and down, clicking his tongue and saying, "Real leather, these little eyes are also quite pretty when they sparkle."

"But this thing doesn't even have a canopy, it's not rainproof or windproof, and there are no seat belts. It feels risky."

At this moment, Chen Yi took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, his eyes eagerly fixated on the Christmas Sleigh in front of him as he started grinning.

"Let's go, I'll take you for a spin."

"...Be careful, drive slowly, Yi."

...

At this time, all over the world,

countless people were watching the Global Vehicle Leaderboard before them.

?Global Vehicle Leaderboard?

?First place: Chen Yi.?

?Vehicle: Mechanical Moose Christmas Sleigh.?

?Rating: 1000.?

There was no second place.

So far, Chen Yi was the only one to top the Global Vehicle Leaderboard.

"..."

Gao Yiming stood calmly in the office building, diverting his gaze from the Global Vehicle Leaderboard and looking towards the Christmas Sleigh flying above the city.

After a long silence, he then spoke softly,

"Uncle Wei."

"It seems Liu Yishou's side has failed."

"Mhm."

The elder standing in the shadows, his voice weary and hoarse, replied, "People have already been sent to check. Liu Yishou and others died violating the May rules."

"But some of the corpses and flesh bear distinct knife wounds."

"Chen Yi must have taken advantage of his ability not to fear, creating enough fear, then charged up and took down Liu Yishou and the others."

"After all, the Arena prop we provided for Liu Yishou should have been enough to beat Chen Yi."

"Sigh."

Gao Yiming sighed softly, rubbing his temples with some irritation as he whispered, "Send someone again, still do not expose our identities. If he can't be killed this time,"

"then kill all those who know, and then try to befriend him."

"An enemy that can't be killed should, if possible, be turned into a friend of the company."

"Understood, young master."

He had initially planned to capture Chen Yi and use his fearlessness to open the treasure chest.

But... after learning that Chen Yi had slain all the monsters outside the city,

he changed his mind.

How many Points could a treasure chest contain?

Chen Yi surely had some powerful props on him, like that sniper rifle. If he could get those items, the future would be promising indeed!

In their line of work, even before the game arrived, their hands hadn't been free from blood.

After all, many times the compensation for a lifetime disability is much higher than for an accidental death.

Society has rules, but within those rules, there is also a taste of blood.
