There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Meanwhile—

At Awesome Starfield, after saying goodbye to Li Yi, the Lisu Tribal Chief left Chief Li's palace, sat in his vehicle, and found a player named "Wang Zhiping" through the chat panel.

And he made a video call.

"Ping, it's settled. Chen Yi should agree to our duel, and I'll need you to step in then," said the Chief.

The man in the video was a player from Sixfold Planet.

Originally, he had no idea how to deal with Chen Yi and was frantically busy when this player named Wang Zhiping found him, saying he could temporarily join his race and then initiate a duel with Chen Yi.

Wang Zhiping would fight the battle.

Such an offer was naturally too good to refuse, especially since it came at no charge, which was most important—he could not possibly offer compensation to Chen Yi.

To offer too little would infuriate the opponent, yet to offer too much was something he couldn't bear to do either.

"But there's something I want to ask about," he said with some hesitation.

"Do you have some sort of grudge against Chen Yi, Ping?"

"No grudge," the buzz-cut man said coldly and expressionlessly in the video. "Just pissed off by his show-off attitude during the live stream. I want to mess with him a bit."

"Oh, okay." The Lisu Tribal Chief nodded and didn't pursue the topic, instead carefully probed, "But Chen Yi has the status of a Seed Player, which allows him to return from the depths of hell without blame once. If we don't eradicate him completely, won't it leave future trouble?"

"Heh," the buzz-cut man seemed amused. "It seems you have no idea the overwhelming advantage Sixfold Planet players have over you. It's just the destruction of a few Threefold Planets. If I wanted to, do you think I couldn't do it?"

"Since I've come to deal with him, I have no intention of letting him reappear before the world alive."

"Let me know when you have news. I'm about to enter a map with an S-level prop Admission Ticket, and by the time I come out, I hope you've already arranged a time with Chen Yi. Don't tell me you lack even that ability to handle things."

"I'm helping you for free; I hope you're aware of that."

Just then—

The man in the video seemed to receive some message and was momentarily stunned before he couldn't help but smile with a rise of his lips, "No need for your help temporarily, it's either my luck or Chen Yi's misfortune."

"Chen Yi and I ended up in the same map."

"Tough luck for him, I guess, and it saves me from using props. Otherwise, it'd be quite troublesome to pull him out of Novice Planet."

"That's quite a coincidence?" The Lisu Tribal Chief was also momentarily stunned but then joyously clasped his fists, "Then I wish Ping an early triumphal return."

"Heh, wiping out a novice player doesn't count as a triumph."

"Easily crushed with a flick of a toe."

...

'Map Name': Children of the Forest.

'Map Level': None.

'Map Details': 10 players will be randomly placed in a vast forest, and any props, skills, or titles that could be used to unlock maps are unusable, including but not limited to vision-enhancing props, satellite props, and the Byakugan Skill.

In this map, a beam of light will shine every 10 minutes.

Under the beam is a temporary prop that can boost one of the player's abilities.

For example, doubling the player's speed, making a prop cooldown-free, unlimited use of a title, and so on.

The map ends when only one player survives.

-

With a notification sound ringing in Chen Yi's ear, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing on a platform high in the sky.

Aside from him, there were 9 other players standing in various corners of the platform.

Each player was covered by a thin golden film, and there was a 1-minute countdown in the air.

It seemed to be the initial stand before the start of the map.

Chen Yi instantly spotted Jiang Chenglu in the crowd—he was hard to miss.

Clothed in a black robe, standing at 1.9 meters tall with a broadsword on his back that was as wide as five palms, and with sharp, distinct facial features—even just standing there, anyone could feel the sharpness emanating from him.

Cold as a biting wind.

Although he already knew he and Jiang Chenglu were on the same map, seeing him in person still unconsciously took his breath away; the pressure was too intense.

Chen Yi looked down at the forest below the platform. It seemed endless.

He couldn't even see any mummies; the canopy was too dense, completely obscuring the view of the ground.

At this moment—

The other players on the platform started to move around and probe each other, as this was a battle map where everyone else was an enemy. It was only natural to test out each other's boundaries.

"It's Chen Yi!" exclaimed a player who noticed Chen Yi. His face paled as he raised his voice, "Darn, matched with Chen Yi. He's the ruthless one who's wiped out several tribes on his own!"

"All of us put together probably aren't his match!"

"And as far as I know, Alien Race players killed by Chen Yi cannot come back to life."

"Yi, we have no feud; I'll give you the reward for this map. When the match officially starts, can you spare me first and let me kill myself?"

"I swear I won't pose any danger to you, Yi. Can you give me a chance to off myself?"

"..."

Standing there, Chen Yi, who was without his cane and usually unemotional, looked like a docile little lamb, feeling his scalp tingle upon hearing this.
