There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

"A person's password is often a reflection of the most important thing to them."

"We've actually gathered quite a few clues, including that diary, the cross at the first checkpoint, and the white marks on the ground from kneeling for a long time, all of which are enough to prove that the deceased was a devout believer."

"Many devout believers often use a password that is—"

"God's code."

"God's code?"

Sword Without End and Tuberculosis Rabbit looked at each other and hesitated before asking, "What do you mean? What is God's code? I'm a bit lost."

"392766."

"This sequence of numbers is a common password among devout believers."

"The Old Testament of the Bible has 39 books, the New Testament has 27 books, making a total of 66 books in the entire Bible."

"Put together, it is 392766."

"Some devout believers frequently use this sequence of numbers as a code, and you can even find a forum dedicated to 392766, which signifies that God will forgive your sins."

"The reason the deceased came to this deserted island was to seek redemption, and if a devout believer were to set a six-digit password, it's highly likely they would choose 392766."

"Unfortunately, there's no way to go back the same way we came; this map has no retreat."

"392766..."

After Sword Without End murmured the numbers softly, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Even though I don't understand all this, I think Yi, your analysis is very logical. God will forgive your sins. This meaning almost perfectly aligns with the purpose of the deceased coming to this island."

"Let's try this map again later."

"Let's head to the fourth checkpoint first."

"All right!"

...

Meanwhile—

In a corner of a city conference room.

The President of Skywake looked solemnly at the nine people below and instructed, "We just spent an hour and a half to clear the D-level squad map 'Silent Deserted Island' with a 100% score, which not only earned us a lot of rewards but also boosted our fame significantly."

"But—"

"It's not enough!"

"Chen Yi's 'Rabbits Do Not Kill' squad made it onto the 'Global Squad Rankings' earlier than us, and they are ranked higher as well."

"In the E-level map 'Night Widow Village,' Chen Yi's team scored a 100% map rating, while we, 'Skywake Second Team,' only scored a 23% rating. Such a huge gap has made the public quite optimistic about Chen Yi's squad."

"This is unfavorable for us, 'Skywake' must be first."

"We need to create a significant gap between us and any other squads that will clear 'Silent Deserted Island' in the future."

"We need to enter it again, and this time we won't need to waste time searching for information."

"The answers to the first three checkpoints are CCD, and we're already familiar with the safe path for the last three checkpoints."

"This time, we can definitely clear this map within 30 minutes, by then our map rating will be significantly higher than other squads." Your next chapter awaits on empire

"Did everyone get that?"

"Understood!"

In the conference room, the other nine people responded in unison.

Only a red-haired woman, whose face bore a complex expression, remained silent. She was Yan Niang, the Vice President of Skywake.

In a world event, she had interacted with Chen Yi once.

That interaction had been unpleasant.

Afterward, with a single shot dealing a million damage, Chen Yi dragged her reputation through the mud, and to this day, Chen Yi's reputation has only grown while Skywake never got another chance to recruit him.

If she had not resorted to reverse psychology back then, and instead had kindly invited him, perhaps she could have pulled Chen Yi into their team.

At that time, Chen Yi hadn't shown enough strength, only that he was lucky, but now it seems Chen Yi is not only exceptionally strong but also has his own unique methods for clearing maps.

"Push on, push on!"

After encouraging the team, the President of Skywake re-entered the map, ready to aim for an even higher map rating!

First place?

No, nowhere near enough!

The very purpose of Skywake's existence is to drive the second place to despair!

If a map claimed by Skywake as first place allows the second place to score even 30% rating, it's a disgrace to them!

This is their confidence!

Even before the team feature was released, Skywake had organized many powerful players; first place was theirs by right and necessity!

...

"Ding, 'Rabbits Do Not Kill' squad, led by Captain Chen Yi, has successfully cleared the map 'Silent Deserted Island,' and each team member will receive the following rewards!"

"Points*5000, Level 1 Enhancement Stone*10, Wing Fragments*5."

"Here is the team map rating—"

"You spent two hours and eighteen minutes to clear this map, with a map rating of 87%!"

"Your team ranks second on the map's squad leaderboard."

Soon after, the remaining three checkpoints were cleared smoothly.

Chen Yi and his team reappeared on the rooftop of the residential building.

At this moment, only two teams had cleared 'Silent Deserted Island': 'Skywake First Team' and 'Rabbits Do Not Kill' squad.

"87% map rating?"

Tuberculosis Rabbit raised an eyebrow lightly, "It seems that 'Skywake First Team' must have taken less time than us."

"Yi, try the method you just mentioned again."

"Okay."

Chen Yi pulled a cigarette from his pocket, glanced at the sky above, then lit it up and put it to his mouth, "Let's have a smoke before going in. You can't smoke in the game map. Let's take a break, no rush for these few minutes."

"That's true."

Tuberculosis Rabbit took out a pack of cigarettes, tossed one to Sword Without End, and also lit up one for himself.

The three sat on the rooftop and started puffing away, but it wasn't long before Tuberculosis Rabbit's face turned odd.

They saw that apart from their own tall building, the rooftops of all the other high-rises were filled with people. Many smokers had gathered on the rooftops, unapologetically blowing smoke into the air.

Clearly, due to the influence of the July rule change, many smokers had taken to using rooftops as smoking areas.

This scene... well, it was rather spectacular.

No one had come to their building; apparently, the locals knew these few liked to hang out on this building's rooftop and didn't dare to come up and compete for the spot, to avoid trouble. Hence, the rooftops of other tall buildings had all become smoking areas.

Meanwhile—

Online discussions had already started ramping up.

"Did you see that? Chen Yi's team also entered the Silent Deserted Island map, but their map rating score isn't as high as Skywake's."

"Saw it. They say Chen Yi really has skills. In such a short time, he's already cleared 3 maps consecutively, 2 with 100% rating scores, and one with an 87% rating score."

"Indeed. For the Night Widow Village map, Chen Yi set the bar for the map score too high, the second place only has a 23% map rating score, you can't even see the tail lights."

"I know the second place on that map is 'Skywake Second Team'. The Second Team's strength isn't on par with Chen Yi's, but on the Silent Deserted Island map, 'Skywake First Team' got a 100% map rating score, while Chen Yi's team only got 87%."

"Even though Chen Yi is strong, his team has only three members. The overall strength of their squad should be above Skywake Second Team, but below Skywake First Team."

"That's not necessarily true, Chen Yi's team also got 100% on the 'Destiny's Adversary' map."

"That's because Chen Yi is the only one who's cleared that map so far, so of course the rating score is full. If Skywake First Team were to try that map, Chen Yi's rating might immediately drop below 50%. Everyone who clears a map first gets 100% rating. Don't you even know that? Don't embarrass yourself, you're making me laugh."

"If you think it's so easy, why don't you go get a 100% rating?"

"I don't wanna get it. What's it to you?"

"Come on then, name the place. Where are you from? I'll come have a word with you face to face."

"Black Trench City, No. 781, 9th Street. Come on, look for your daddy. If you don't come, you're a coward. Yelling on the internet like you're calling your mom, huh?"

Meanwhile, Chen Yi and his teammates, oblivious to all this, finished their cigarettes, nodded to the smokers on the surrounding rooftops, and then re-entered the map.

They returned to that familiar chamber.

The moment they touched down,

Chen Yi didn't hesitate to rush to the password door and entered a series of numbers.

"392766"

"Ding, password correct. Players may clear this secret passage to leave the deserted island early, and..."

Chen Yi and his team's eyes lit up, then without another word, they hopped onto a sled and shot along the straight, bright passage ahead!

Before the prompt finished, the sound of clearing the map rang in their ears.

"Ding, 'Rabbits Do Not Kill' team, led by captain Chen Yi, has successfully cleared the 'Silent Deserted Island' map. Since it's already been cleared once, there are no rewards this time."

"Here is the team map rating—"

"You spent 7 seconds to clear this map, which is simply unthinkable... among a million numerical combinations, you found the correct password, and you have an extremely fast vehicle that swiftly took you through the passage."

"Under all these factors, you have created a miracle."

"Perhaps this miracle will never be broken."

"Map rating score is 100%."

As their vision went dark for a moment and then returned, Chen Yi and his teammates reappeared back on the rooftop and exchanged glances, each seeing the amusement in the other's eyes.

A 7-second clear.

Think you can surpass us? Good luck figuring that out.

Yi didn't guess wrong; the password really was 392766.

By this time, the 'Silent Deserted Island' map's team ranking had been updated, and the rankings had changed.

"Silent Deserted Island Team Rankings"

First place team: "Rabbits Do Not Kill," map rating 100%.

Second place team: "Skywake First Team," map rating 1%.

Meanwhile, a smoker on a nearby building, who had just been looking in the direction where Chen Yi and his team disappeared, said, "Did you see? Just now, big shot Chen Yi even nodded at me. They probably went to play another map, they're so dedicated, plus..."

But before he could finish,

He suddenly found that Chen Yi and his team had reappeared in the same spot.

Standing there stunned, he rubbed his eyes and said somewhat dazedly, "Did they come back? Which team's map clear time is so short? A few seconds to clear?"

Another smoker nearby, also puffing on a cigarette, expressed his disbelief in shock, "Quick, look at the Silent Deserted Island map's team ranking. Big shot Chen Yi's team is already in first place!"

"And the former first place, Skywake First Team, went from a 100% rating to 1%!"

"A complete dimensional crushing!"

By this time, the internet had completely exploded!!!

Innumerable people in disbelief and frenzy kept posting and scrolling discussions!!!

What a joke!!!

Are you fucking cheating at the game? Can't you at least try to hide it?

...

ps: I've posted 5 chapters tonight. The first 2 make up for yesterday, and the last 3 are the regular updates. I'll correct any typos after posting.
