There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

These things are just a small bonus, I guess.

It's all about settling these matters before leaving the level-up game. This battle might end soon, or it might last a long time.

No one knows for sure.

After all, he doesn't even know what this so-called cosmic race is.

Just when Chen Yi and the others were lost in thought.

The time had come.

Chen Yi glanced at his watch and said softly, "Time's up, get ready to set off. Let's go."

The next second—

A prompt sounded in the ears of all players in the level-up game.

"Ding, announcement to all players in the level-up game!!!"

"Let us congratulate, under the leadership of player Chen Yi, Blue Star from Annihilation Starfield's number 3 Star System Ninefold, for successfully advancing to become the 11th Tenfold Planet in the level-up game!!!"

"And the players of Sunflower Star will leave the level-up game under the leadership of Chen Yi and head deep into the cosmos to participate in the 'Life and Death Race'!"

"Let us celebrate Chen Yi's triumphant return!!!"

Unlike Jiang Chenglu's upgrade, where he received a lot of rewards, including even a random max Prop reward, Chen Yi received no rewards for his upgrade this time.

Perhaps it was because the upgrade ranking was too far back; there really was no need for a reward for the 11th place.

And the task of upgrading to a Tenfold Planet was even simpler than Chen Yi had thought.

-

"Mission Name": The Ultimate God Slaughter.

"Mission Objective": Hold breath for 3 seconds.

"Mission Reward": The affiliated planet upgrades to a Tenfold Planet.

-

It was that simple, essentially posing no difficulty.

But "no difficulty" refers to those who wanted to complete the mission. For those who didn't want to complete it, this task could be said to be incredibly difficult.

He even felt a bit sorry for those who hadn't upgraded to a Tenfold Planet and had postponed it until now.

After all, holding one's breath for 3 seconds is very easy to do inadvertently in daily life.

And this mission was a passive one, automatically accepted once the planet had been upgraded to Ninefold. In other words, if you accidentally held your breath for more than 3 seconds, the mission would be completed immediately, and everyone would ascend.

Those leaders of the Ninefold planet didn't even dare to breathe heavily when speaking. They had to keep breathing constantly even when silent, lest they accidentally complete the task and be forced to GG.

This was an extremely difficult thing.

Even if you could control it during the day, what about at night?

For someone deep in sleep, holding one's breath for 3 seconds in a dream is entirely normal.

One can imagine the costs incurred by the leaders of these few Ninefold planets for this very reason.

Even Chen Yi relied on some Props to keep from accidentally completing the task and ascending prematurely.

But even so, it was still somewhat sinful; after all, you had to keep most of your attention on this throughout the entire day.

...

Almost in an instant.

The moment the announcement about Blue Star's upgrade to a Tenfold Planet was made, many people looked up with complex expressions.

On Blue Star.

Li Yi took a deep breath as he looked at Blue Star, which had suddenly lost a large number of players, and said without taking time for sentiment, "Proceed with the established plan!!!"

"Priority is the protection of buildings!"

"The sss-level Tuberculosis Rabbit's art gallery and sss-level Yi's Garden District!!!"

"These two areas are to be cordoned off first, no one allowed to enter!"

"The rest of the troops, head to the major cities of Blue Star for vigilance patrols!"

This was the plan he and Tuberculosis Rabbit had agreed on long ago.

After Blue Star's ascension, no one would be left, and this place contained many of Tuberculosis Rabbit's memories that he did not want to be destroyed, including the art gallery and Yi's Garden District.

These places were particularly important.

He and Wang Qi, along with everyone in Club 33, were ordered to guard the old sites of Blue Star for Yi and others to prevent them from being damaged by petty thieves.

Not a single person refused.

Everyone was excited; after all, they could predict that when Yi returned victorious, they would all become the greatest heroes. Would they lack for rewards or status then?

Of course not!

"Wait!"

Just as Wang Qi was about to take action, he suddenly furrowed his brow and looked at Li Yi, "Are you sure you want to cordon off the art gallery, forbidding anyone from entering? I remember Tuberculosis Rabbit saying when he left, that the art gallery should be open to the public during this time and allow entry to anyone who purchases a ticket."

"Tuberculosis Rabbit seemed to say that he did not wish art to be sealed away forever. Only art that is seen and appraised by people can truly become a legacy."

"Are you going to just seal it off?"

"..."

Li Yi gave Wang Qi a look of disdain, "No brainer, Tuberculosis Rabbit said that, but do you think we can really do it like that? Not to mention anything else, what if a fire breaks out in the art gallery during this crowded period?"

"What if a stampede results in the destruction of the artworks?"

"Are you going to take the blame for this, or am I? Who can bear this responsibility?"

"Seal it off. When Tuberculosis Rabbit comes back, we'll just unseal it. At that time, no matter what happens, I'll take all the blame!"

...

"It's finally ending."

In the Snow Sea Project Team's office above Blue Star, Jin Buhuan stood in place, his expression showing slight emotion as he looked at the overhead view of Blue Star on the panel in front of him; behind him, rows of employees stood filled with anticipation.

Today.

All these employees had put on their most treasured clothes, standing by, excited and ready, riveting their gaze on Jin Buhuan's back. Although no one spoke, the scene felt as bustling as if it was filled with noise.
