There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 146: "Prop Name": Human Dao Si.



After their conversation,

Wang Yimei finally stopped crying, with difficulty she raised her arm to wipe the tears from her eyes, and nodded, looking into the void: "You mean, every monster killed by a player is immediately transported to this space."

"Those powerful janitors will swallow these fresh monster corpses right away, and while there is still the smell of blood, at least there isn't the stench of decay."

"And those janitors pushed to the edges just have to devour monsters that have been killed a while ago, like the Insect Race from the Extraterrestrial Invaders, whose corpses have not been dealt with for so long they are rotten and covered with maggots—all to complete their daily tasks?"

"That's right."

The man floating beside Wang Yimei said nonchalantly, "Like me, I'm a level 6 janitor. Although I can't devour the freshest monster corpses, at least I can ensure that the monster corpses I devour don't have maggots, just a rotten smell."

"Within this space, there are three major powers; these levels were created by them. Depending on the level, the degree of decay of the monster corpses we consume is also different."

"Although I know you're unwilling to be here, you'll get used to it eventually. Everyone is resentful when they first arrive."

"But if you think about it from another angle, we're already dead. To be able to extend our lives in this way isn't too bad, right?"

"Moreover, if you devour more monster corpses after completing your daily tasks, you will receive points as a reward."

"And with points, you can exchange for many things in the janitor's store, such as freshly roasted chicken, chilled cola, and so on. While they can't take you out of this space, they can give you a taste of the pleasures of the living world."

"Don't think too much—since you're here, just do the job well."

"However, there is one thing you must be mindful of: the daily tasks must be completed, or you will be punished."

"What kind of punishment?"

"You wouldn't want to know... If you've experienced it, you would remember it vividly."

...

"Another one handled."

Sword Without End looked down at the battered corpse at his feet, then after biting the cap of his pen, he satisfactorily crossed out Wang Yimei's name from his notebook.

"Now there is only Gao Yiming and that Uncle Wei left."

He put the notebook back into his chest pocket, ready to move on when he suddenly fell silent, a trace of desolation flickering in his eyes.

Hell is no different from Blue Star.

Aside from a slightly darker sky, maintaining a constant crimson color, it's almost identical to Blue Star, with cities and environs beyond.

Props and skills that were not dropped from the backpack in life, upon death and entrance into Hell, are all transformed into Hell props and skills, and can all be used normally, just with renamed titles.

Here too, you can kill monsters, and killing monsters also gives a chance to drop Hell props and receive Hell Coupons.

You can also purchase props in the Hell Store, or by buying a Map Access Pass or other means, you can enter the map as a Hell Player.

If you kill a total of 10 players from the base game, you can successfully return to the base game.

There are two types of stores in the Hell Map.

One is the regular map, made for Hell Players, where they can only encounter other Hell Players and can earn props and skills as rewards in this type of map.

The other is the return map.

Entering this type of map often requires a high-priced Map Access Pass. Besides oneself, the other people in this map are usually normal players from the base game. Apart from the map's tasks, the hidden task is to kill other players.

This feature was also updated after the June 1st version update in Hell. Before that, players who entered Hell had no chance to return to the base game.

Only upon arrival in Hell did they realize that the game on Blue Star had a name, called "Base Game."

It sounds like a shortcut to promotion, with a strong sense of incongruity.

The only thing that made him feel lost was that only players who died after the start of the Base Game would enter into the Hell Map—his wife and family were not eligible to enter.

This completely shattered his hope of finding his family.

Originally, he never had any illusion about it, but after learning of Hell's existence, a faint fantasy suddenly arose in his heart; now, that fantasy was thoroughly crushed.

Standing in place, Sword Without End gazed silently into the distance for a long time before he sighed lightly and slowly turned his head to look at a fat man hugging two young women at the street corner, murmuring.

"The loving part ways in life and death, yet it's people like this indulging in carnal pleasures who get to cling to each other day and night. Oh heavens, you truly are blind."

He didn't speak again, and just walked straight away.

However, before he left, a stroke of Green Peak, luminous with flowing light, shot straight into the forehead of the fat man behind him.

The light in the fat man's eyes vanished instantly, his pupils dilated rapidly, and his body slumped powerlessly to the ground.

Sword Without End, with an expressionless face, strode steadily into the distance.

Feeling down, he wanted to kill some people for fun.

For those who don't respect love, killing them is no loss, nothing but beasts.

The next second—

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

The two young women kneeling beside the man were full of terror and grief, crying out as they lay on the belly of the heavyset man, "Dad, don't leave us behind!"

"Why is heaven so unfair to us? Our whole family died in the map and we've already come to hell, but why can't we have even one peaceful day here?"

"Dad, if you're gone, what are we going to do?"

"Mom is at home waiting for us to return with groceries!"

"Dad!"

"Who killed my dad? Stand up! If you had the guts to kill my dad, then just kill our whole family and let us go together, whole and complete!"

"..."

Listening to the cries behind him, Sword Without End, who had been leaving expressionlessly, suddenly stumbled and hesitated for a few seconds before he turned around and walked back to the middle-aged man lying in a pool of blood with several holes in his forehead.

He took out a prop from his chest and placed it on the man's body, immediately choosing to activate it.

'Prop Name': Human Dao Si.

'Prop Level': B-grade.

'Prop Effect': Once this prop is activated, it can pull a dying player back from the brink of death, requiring 10,000 Points. If a player has been dead for less than 30 seconds, they can also be pulled back from the depths of hell, but this requires the use of a globally unique prop.

This prop can be activated at will, and when a player faces death, it will automatically search the player's backpack for any globally unique props. If there is one, the prop will be activated to pull the player back from the depths of hell and randomly consume one globally unique prop from the backpack.

'Prop Restrictions': Number of uses (2/4).

'Prop Description': "Let me save one more, just one more!"

It could still be used twice. He had used this prop twice when he was severely injured and soon he would only be able to use it once more.

The prop was activated, and a dazzling white light burst forth from Sword Without End's hand and flowed into the forehead of the middle-aged man.

As a price, a globally unique character action in Sword Without End's backpack gradually dimmed until it completely vanished.

Immediately following—

The man who had just been lying lifelessly on the ground slowly opened his eyes, looking around bewilderedly, "Where is this...?"

"Dad, you're awake!"

The two young women who had been crying by his side saw the heavyset man regain consciousness and pounced on him, weeping with joy, "Dad, you scared us to death just now."

"We thought we'd never see you again."

Sword Without End silently withdrew the prop, without saying a word, and turned to walk away into the distance.

What a fucked up situation.

What the hell is all this? Does anyone know how hard it was for him to collect a globally unique character action? He went through that damned Human Theater map five times and perfectly imitated an emotional and crazed entrepreneur who had failed and become a wife murderer!

And only then did he obtain a globally unique character action.

He hadn't used it many times before it was wasted just like that.

But there was no helping it; it was his own fault. He owned up to it.

Someone else's family was living peacefully, and he suddenly killed that man—it was indeed a bit unreasonable. Although it hurt a bit, he had to save the man; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get past the guilt later on.

He had originally thought that the man was a rich, greasy guy who kept two young beauties, but who would have thought he was actually the father of two daughters.

It was just that the price was a little too steep.

The uses of a B-grade medical prop, and a globally unique character action, all wasted.
Your next journey awaits at empire

Just as Sword Without End was walking away, he suddenly stopped, his expression blank. He turned around and walked back towards the middle-aged man—this was a globally unique character action after all, to be used to save this man was beyond wasteful!

Did anyone know how much he treasured his globally unique character action?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became!

Seeing Sword Without End turn back, the two young women kneeling by the man finally realized and bowed, their faces showing gratitude as they tremulously spoke.

"Thank you, big brother, for saving our father's life."

"If there is a chance in the future, we will repay you for saving our father's life, this kindness..."

Before the two young women could finish speaking,

they saw Sword Without End stride directly to their father, then, without any hesitation, kicked the man's head several times with substantial force before turning around once again, his expression grim, without uttering a single word.

After delivering those kicks, he indeed felt more comfortable, but he also felt like an idiot.

What a shitty situation.

He hadn't done anything and suddenly found himself at a significant loss, stewing in his own frustration.

"..."

The two young women looked at Sword Without End's retreating figure and at their father, now sporting a large bruise on his head, and fell silent, utterly baffled.

Why did this man save their father, only to come back and beat him up?
