There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

-

And just at that moment—

A little girl suddenly leaned in excitedly and whispered in her ear, "Peiqi, someone has offered an E-class Prop in exchange for a chance to play the throwing knife game."

"We're going to make a fortune this time!"

"It's an E-class Prop after all!"

In the past, an E-class Prop wouldn't be anything remarkable, but now things were different. Even the most worthless E-class Prop was still a Prop, and any Prop could play a pivotal role in modern society.

Especially now that these Props could no longer be produced, rendering them vintage, their prices had climbed a notch and had become even rarer.

"Oh?"

Li Peiqi, with her eyes covered by cloth, couldn't see who was beside her, but she still recognized her assistant and was slightly surprised inside, "Really? Is this person that generous?"

"There's no way it could be fake. I've already received the item, and there's no way to fake it. The Prop panel is crystal clear. But that person brought two stunning women along, likely not just anybody."

"Maybe it's some young master trying to show off his wealth in front of beauties, which is why he gave away an E-class Prop."

"But this young master clearly miscalculated."

"Those two stunning women by his side are probably not ordinary either, because when the young master took out an E-class Prop and asked to exchange it for a chance at the throwing knife game, neither of those beautiful women showed any sign of disbelief. In fact, they seemed exceptionally calm."

"He paid a hefty price, but his show didn't impress. He's probably fuming now."

"It's fine."

Li Peiqi stood in her place and chuckled lightly, "Let him play. By the way, do you not recognize that young master? Although we've been expelled by the Black Dragon Guild, we should have seen all the young masters from Neutron Star before, right? Can't you tell which family he's from?"

She wasn't worried about being hit.

She had a stroke of luck that had significantly increased her Luck Points; initially, she thought it would only improve the chances of getting good items from treasure chests, but she later discovered that Luck Points had more functions than that—for instance—

In the face of fatal danger, even if she stood still, Luck Points would ensure that she would not die, forcibly altering the trajectory of the attack.

It was entirely unreasonable.

It was entirely illogical.

But it was the truth. When she realized that Luck Points has this ability, her sense of security skyrocketed, and she no longer worried about the Last Words saying she would die at Chen Yi's hands.

That was all false.

The game of promotion was over, she had not met Chen Yi, and Chen Yi had not come to annihilate her clan. How could she possibly die at Chen Yi's hands? Moreover, now that the promotion game was over, Chen Yi had no vendetta against Neutron Star, so he surely wouldn't go out of his way to travel a long distance just to annihilate the Neutron Star clan, right?

Furthermore, now that all players had returned to their own planets, even if Chen Yi had such plans, he wouldn't be able to execute them.

Unless he intended to wipe out her clan.

Chen Yi couldn't possibly go to the trouble of traveling a long way to Neutron Star just to kill her, could he? Chen Yi might not have even heard her name.

But just then, she suddenly thought of something and asked subconsciously, "What does that young master look like?"

"Um... he looks very dignified and is holding a cane."

"A cane?"

Li Peiqi paused for a moment, and immediately removed the cloth covering her eyes, lifting her gaze toward Chen Yi, who stood in front of the crowd ready to throw the knife. However, before she could say anything, a flying knife was already whizzing straight toward her forehead.

It was virtually in that instant.

Her face turned deathly pale, and her body stiffened in place, disbelief and extreme fear flashing in her eyes. In the last moment of her life, she let out a bitter laugh.

If that person wasn't Chen Yi, who else could it be!

The moment she heard the word "cane," she had a bad feeling, and when she finally saw the man in person, she was even more certain. She had watched his live broadcasts too many times to forget his face.

She just never expected that her first encounter with Chen Yi would be under such circumstances, nor did she anticipate that dying at Chen Yi's hands, as stated in the Last Words, would happen in this manner.

Family, who could understand!

The game was over, and you, Chen Yi, travel all this way to Neutron Star just to have a flying knife stab her to death here?

Your elderliness must have had it tough, was there a reason you absolutely had to kill Li Peiqi?

Sure enough!

This time, the Goddess of Luck did not visit her again, her relied-upon Luck Points seemed to have lost half their effect. She saw the flying knife heading straight for her forehead, and she couldn't even dodge in time, only able to stand there stiffly.

However—

Just as the flying knife was about to hit Li Peiqi's forehead, a faster knife shot out from Chen Yi's hand, catching up to the one about to hit its mark and knocking it aside.

As both knives grazed Li Peiqi's cheeks, leaving behind a hateful gash, they embedded themselves directly into the wooden plank behind her.

The scene fell silent for a few seconds.

Then, an ear-shattering roar of excitement erupted.

Li Peiqi, still with a pale face, fell to the ground with weak knees, speechless, with an instinctual dry throat, her whole being only wanting to drink a huge bucket of water, having snatched back a life from the brink of death.

Still alive...

Not dead yet...

Had the Last Words failed again? Or was the premonition from the Last Words delayed once more?

And at that moment—

A young girl suddenly approached her excitedly and whispered in her ear, "Peiqi, someone has offered an E-level Prop to exchange for a chance at the flying knives."

"We've hit the jackpot this time!"

"That's an E-level Prop!"

In the past, an E-level Prop really wasn't something to show off, but now things were different. Even the trashiest E-level Prop was still a Prop, and any Prop could play a critical role in modern society.

Especially when these Props could no longer be produced becoming vintage, their price had gone up a notch, making them even more rare.

"Oh?"

Li Peiqi, blindfolded, could not see who was next to her but knew it was her assistant. She was somewhat surprised in her heart, "Really? Is that person so generous?"

"How could it be fake? I've already received the item. There's definitely no faking that, as the Prop panel is clear as day. However, that person had two beautiful women beside him, probably not an ordinary individual."

"Maybe it's a rich young master trying to show off in front of the beauties, thus offering an E-level Prop."

"But this young master obviously miscalculated."

"Those two beauties beside him probably aren't ordinary either, because when that young master took out an E-level Prop to exchange for a chance to throw the flying knives, the two beauties didn't show any disbelief; they appeared extremely calm."

"He paid a hefty price, but the act wasn't convincing, that young master must be furious now."

"No matter."

Li Peiqi stood in place and chuckled lightly, "Let him play. By the way, don't you recognize that young master? Even though we have been driven out by the Black Dragon Guild now, we should have seen the young masters on Neutron Star before. Can't you tell which family he's from?"

She wasn't worried about getting hit.

She had a stroke of fate, which increased her Luck Points quite a bit. At first, she thought it would only increase her chance of getting good things from treasure chests, but later on, she discovered that Luck Points had more significance. For instance—

In the face of mortal danger, even if she stood still, Luck Points would still ensure she wouldn't die, forcibly altering the attack's trajectory.

Utterly unreasonable.

Completely illogical.

But it was indeed a fact. Once she realized that Luck Points also had this ability, her sense of security skyrocketed, and she no longer worried about the death foretold by the Last Words, that she would perish at the hands of Chen Yi.

It was all fake.

The game was over; she hadn't met Chen Yi, and Chen Yi hadn't come to exterminate her clan. How could she possibly die at the hands of Chen Yi, especially now that the game had ended and there was no feud between Chen Yi and Neutron Star? Surely he wouldn't travel all this way just to annihilate the clan on Neutron Star?

Besides, all players had returned to their own planets. Even if Chen Yi harbored such intentions, he couldn't make it.

Unless he intended to annihilate.
