There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

ps: There was a miscalculation with some data in the last chapter, which a reader kindly pointed out and has been corrected for normal reading.

Old habits die hard, sorry for that.

Brain overload.

...

"Yi, do you want to check out the Star Map outside?"

Looking at the Star Map with a strange expression, Tuberculosis Rabbit didn't quite know what to say about the "E-class random Prop Chest" that kept rising.

The price of this prop was soaring like Mount Tai, straight up.

Not like the A-share market at all.

This was an absolutely pure trading market, with no precautions for fluctuations, to be exact, the reason for its rise was simple: there were no cheap ones left to sell.

At this moment, the cheapest E-class random Prop Chest on the Star Map was priced at 123 Points.

"Hmm?"

Chen Yi was somewhat dumbfounded, frowning, and couldn't understand what had happened. He remembered after he cleared out the E-class random Prop Chests from the Star Map trading market, the lowest price should have been 97 Points.

How come there were so many all of a sudden?

A base price of 123 Points indicated that all E-class random Prop Chests priced from 97 to 123 Points had been sold out.

Nowadays...

Who would spend 100 Points on an E-class random Prop Chest?

Keep in mind that, during the Novice Period, this thing might be worth some money.

But once out of the Novice Period, even a player from the Threefold Planet wouldn't possibly lack E-class props, especially since most E-class props were lifestyle ones, without much use.

Why would suddenly so many people buy E-class random Prop Chests?

"Here's the thing,"

Tuberculosis Rabbit, having a rough understanding of the situation, started to speak with some emotion: "Mainly because, Yi, your move was too sensational. Although people don't know if the buyer is one person or who the buyer is—"

"But in less than an hour, the E-class random Prop Chest hit 97 Points, making a lot of people's minds perk up."

"Many began to suspect that there might be some hidden task with the E-class random Prop Chest and secretly stockpiled some."

"Especially the panel for the E-class random Prop Chest—"

'Prop Introduction': Once there was a collector who had nearly collected all E-class props.

"A lot of players are convinced that if they gather all E-class props, they can trigger some hidden tasks, and many major powers start to feel that if they gather all E-class props, they can achieve the Monument milestone of upgrading the game."

"Because they searched and found out, so far there's no Monument in the game that has been announced for collecting all E-class props."

"Their frenzied buying has also caused the price of E-class random Prop Chests to skyrocket!"

Tuberculosis Rabbit paused before continuing.

"Aside from that, there are those speculators who think the price of E-class random Prop Chests will rise even higher in the future, and feeling the current price is still decent, they buy to stockpile and sell later for profit, especially with the news about 'achieving a game Monument milestone.' The buyers have increased."

"Moreover, the surge in the price of E-class random Prop Chests from just a while ago has indeed attracted even more buyers; as the old saying goes, the faster the rise, the quicker the buying frenzy."

"If the price rises fast enough, the brain doesn't have time to think."

"The last group of people is just joining the craze out of pure curiosity; a few hundred or thousand Points isn't expensive, and with so many people buying, they too buy a few to join in the fun."

"The revelry of these people has led the price of the E-class random Prop Chest to reach an astonishing 123 Points."

"Oh, no, it is 131 Points now."

Tuberculosis Rabbit sighed somewhat helplessly: "In the time it takes to say a few words, it has gone up this much."

"That quickly?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yi's eyes as he looked at the pile beside him, resembling a small mountain of E-class random Prop Chests. Did that mean that his stash of props was now instantly worth over a hundred billion?

Of course, in theory, it was so.

If such a large stash were to be dumped, it would probably cause the market to halt in an instant.

One should never underestimate the value of ten billion.

"Hmm."

With a nod, Tuberculosis Rabbit continued: "It's still a relatively slow hike in price, after all, many people wouldn't choose to list it on the Star Map, either they open it right away, or just toss it into the warehouse and forget about it."

"So now, many people have stock in hand, and they are choosing to list their E-class random Prop Chests on the platform. Because most of these people want to quickly cash out for peace of mind, they tend to set lower prices, which leads to a slower price increase."

"Once these people have sold out and everyone runs out of stock, the price will rise even faster. By then, it wouldn't be surprising if an E-class Prop Chest reached 200 Points."

"..."

Sword Without End spoke with a peculiar expression, "200 Points... Do you know how much the most expensive E-class prop is on the Star Map Platform? Think about your Air Food Series Props, how much they cost."

"And the Air Food Series Props are already considered relatively strong among the E-class props."

"Their prices are on the higher end."

"But—"

"Besides that, I think there's one speculation by some people that seems very insightful—maybe if we can collect a complete set of E-class props, it might actually activate a game milestone?"

"Yi!"

As the words fell.
