There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Time flies, it flies a bit too fast.

In the blink of an eye, it's already December 23rd.

The weather got even colder.

On the rooftop, Tuberculosis Rabbit pulled out a calendar from his chest, carefully tore off another day, and then looked towards the sky—still dark even past seven o'clock—and said, "Today is the 23rd, it's Christmas Eve today, and Christmas Day tomorrow."

They made a point of getting up extra early.

They were out of bed by seven o'clock, although on any ordinary day they wouldn't be up until well past ten.

The reason they woke up so early was to wait for the announcement of today's event, which typically happens at eight o'clock in the morning.

And it's just a few days until December 28th, the day of Yi's duel with the player who has the "Fortune as Vast as the Eastern Sea" prop.

"How about it, Yi, still no trace of them?"

"No."

Chen Yi sighed lightly, sounding somewhat powerless, "Maybe that player is just too well-hidden, or maybe they don't make themselves known very much on any given day. Li Yi has no news whatsoever, and the few people who did fit the bill..."

"Were all easily killed."

"They don't seem like players who possess the S-tier prop 'Fortune as Vast as the Eastern Sea'."

The showdown is on the 28th.

But suddenly, Chen Yi felt he didn't need to wait for the duel. If he killed the other player before that day came, he could win without fighting. Unfortunately, he didn't know where that player was or even their name.

He didn't have a single useful piece of information.

The Starfield game is vast.

Trying to find a player just by relying on pure luck is extremely difficult unless that player is famous precisely for being lucky; otherwise, there's no chance of finding them.

Starfield isn't just comprised of one or two planets.

Each planet has a multitude of races, and finding someone amidst them could be exponentially harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

"In that case..."

Chen Yi sat in the beach chair without speaking, just propping his chin with one hand, lost in thought. If that was the case, he couldn't make the first move; he would have to wait and start on the day of the duel. There was no other way.

The group idly chatted on and off like this.

Days without events were always relaxed.

Occasionally adventuring in the game maps was risk-free and quite easygoing. It's worth noting that because of December's "Do As One Pleases" rule, there wouldn't be any deaths, which has recently increased Starfield players' enthusiasm to adventure in the game maps.

After all, if there's no risk of dying, you can just recklessly roam the maps.

...

"Charge!!!"

"Charge!!!"

In one of the maps, Li Yide, with a fox tail trailing behind him, was at the moment excitedly waving a big hand, fully unleashing the speed of his Fox Tail vehicle and using his head as a weapon to ram through the map recklessly.

And this scene was happening in practically all the maps.

Maps that were usually considered dangerous or difficult, or where few would normally venture, were uncommonly crowded this month, while those safer maps were now deserted.

You have to admit it.

Players were smart.

They knew which maps to choose.

...

Soon, as they chatted, the time arrived at eight in the morning.

A boosting announcement sounded in the ears of all the players.

Whether they were players waiting, sleeping, or still struggling on a map, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, woke from their sleep, or retreated from the battle, all with serious expressions watching the event announcement.

Everyone understood one thing.

The Novice Period was almost over.

They had to get as strong as possible in the remaining few months; otherwise, once the Novice Period ended, what awaited them wouldn't be happiness but cruel enemies.

Yes, Blue Star had Chen Yi, a novice player who could almost rival those at the Ninefold planets, but they couldn't always rely on the powerhouse.

The powerhouse couldn't always protect them; they had to have strength of their own.

'Ding, global special time-limited event announcement!'

'Congratulations to all players, it has been nine months since Starfield started, and in these nine months, everyone's performance has exceeded expectations. With Christmas Eve and Christmas Day approaching, we hope you will have an even better performance in this event.'

'The event duration is from December 23rd to December 26th.'

'Event One: Christmas Eve.'

'Event Description: From 9:00 PM on December 23rd to 6:00 AM on December 24th, it will be Christmas Eve. During this time, all players will be immortal, no matter the circumstances.'

Players can unrestrainedly enjoy tonight's Christmas Eve.

Experience things they normally wouldn't dare to do.

'Event Two: The Apple of Eden.'

'Event Description: During the event period, each player can purchase an Apple of Eden for 100 points. After eating this apple, you will gain a unique experience unlike any other.'

Each player is limited to buying 3.

And for each Apple of Eden eaten, there's a chance to receive the special prop 'Apple of Eden.'

This prop is globally limited to 1,000 pieces, and after they are all claimed, an announcement will be made, and no more will be supplied.

The prop 'Apple of Eden' has unique effects, which players are encouraged to discover on their own.

'Event Three: Oh, The Youth That Has Passed.'
