There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Sleep?

What's that?

Chen Yi had no idea what effects maxing out "Fortune as Vast as the Eastern Sea" would have, how good his luck could get, but one thing he knew was that the harder one worked, the luckier one got—at least he considered himself to be quite diligent.

He had been awake for 37 continuous hours, all spent in the Void Starfield.

First, with great enthusiasm.

Later, complete numbness took over.

Without exaggeration, his eyes could no longer focus at this moment; the scenes before him were blurred, utterly unclear. He couldn't see anything in front of him, and his thoughts had come to a halt.

Doing just one thing for an extended time.

It was taking a toll not only on his body but also on his mind; his thoughts had temporarily stopped.

By now, there wasn't a single TV reporter left on the Void Starfield.

At the beginning.

When Chen Yi was still lucid, he would take care to dodge a bit, so as not to accidentally hurt these reporters who were there to give him publicity. But as his thoughts grew chaotic, he had begun to attack indiscriminately without awareness.

What reporters, or Void Monsters?

Send them all packing!

Amidst a sky full of cannon fire, he made no distinction between friend and foe!

They all had to go!

In short order, numerous reporters and players who had come to watch the fun perished under the barrage of artillery fire. Those who hadn't died yet saw the scene and turned tail to run without looking back.

For fuck's sake, Chen Yi was clearly lashing out indiscriminately, without regard for friend or foe; who wouldn't run away at a time like this?

Waiting to die?

As for Tuberculosis Rabbit and the others, they were already dozing off on the sled, with their heads nodding. Staying on the sled for so long, watching the same scenes over and over, almost made them lose their sense of time.

And as Tuberculosis Rabbit and his crew fell asleep, the drowsy atmosphere they created added to Chen Yi's confusion.

Time passed unnoticed.

A prompt suddenly woke Chen Yi and his companions.

"Ding, return time has arrived, please begin the return process within one minute!"

With the sound of the prompt.

Chen Yi slowly rubbed his somewhat sore eyes, stood up to stretch his limbs, looked down at the endless corpses of Void Monsters under the sled, and it dawned on him. After a long silence, he murmured to himself.

"They haven't been wiped out yet."

"To exterminate the Void Clan, how many days would it take to kill them all?"

Unfortunately, there was no clear data to show how many new members the Void Clan could produce each day. Otherwise, he'd really want to know if the number he killed in a day exceeded the number the Void Clan could birth.

It surely couldn't be that his hard day's work of killing didn't even match the Void Clan's daily birth rate.

That would be too insulting.

Forget it, time to return.

At this moment, Chen Yi's body was already quite exhausted.

Two straight days of sleeplessness had pushed his body to its limits.

It wasn't that he had a poor constitution.

If he had been doing something for those two nights, like exploring maps or having meals and chats, he might not have been as weary. After all, he had several props to keep him alert. Not to mention "Forever Pure" could instantly wake him up.

This wasn't anything difficult.

What really exhausted him was doing the same repetitive task for two days and nights, even the scenery in front of him hadn't changed at all.

That was the true reason behind his fatigue.

...

Soon.

After successfully returning to Blue Star, Chen Yi didn't even pay attention to the dense system prompts. He only saw the large bed in the palace, quickly took a shower, and dived right into it.

First, sleep.

No matter what happens.

He'll deal with it after he wakes up.

Even if the Jade Emperor himself arrived, he wouldn't care—he just wanted to sleep.

...

December 4th, 11:27 AM.

Chen Yi, who had woken up leisurely, walked up to the rooftop as usual and lay down on a beach chair. He lit a cigarette as a wake-up call, put it to his lips, closed his eyes, and exhaled slowly. He began to slowly sort out the events of the past few days.

First, unread messages.

Right.

There were no messages from friends in his list, no one looking for him—only a few messages from Li Yi, saying something about the Cast Steel Clan chieftain wanting to express his gratitude and show some kind of gesture.

He responded casually with a 'no need' and didn't follow up on that matter. The main purpose of this trip was for himself. The Cast Steel Clan chieftain was just incidental.

Besides that, the most important thing from this trip was his gain.

"Life Value: 970 million."

"Heh."

When he saw his Life Value, Chen Yi's lips slowly curved into a smile, and he couldn't help but laugh. Nearly 1 billion Life Value, many times what it was before—probably no one in the entire leveling game had reached that, right?

It wasn't for nothing that he had been so tired these past days.

There was at least some reward.

Not too shabby.

Next were the Points he had gained.

Yes, he inadvertently reaped quite a few Points this time.

Various races from other starfields had come to Sky City to pay him protection money. According to Tuberculosis Rabbit, they already had more than 110 billion in revenues, and the income was still pouring in continuously.

"Yi."

Just then, Tuberculosis Rabbit also came out yawning, lying on an adjacent sun lounger on the rooftop, and began to murmur, "December, January, February, March."

"By the end of March, the Novice Period is finally over."

"We can finally leave the Novice Period."

"You didn't even add Jiang Chenglu as a friend. It would've been good to keep in touch, to see what they did after advancing to Tenfold Planet."
