There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

"Many things change according to the will of human observation."

"That is to say, if my arch enemy knows that opening a certain box will one hundred percent result in a disaster, even if his Luck Points are full, opening the box will still lead to disaster. That's what I refer to as 'luck'."

"But if my arch enemy doesn't know that opening the box in front of him will definitely lead to disaster, and he subconsciously feels that there's something bad about the box, choosing to avoid it, that is also 'luck'."

"The kind that is, relatively easier to deal with."

"However, if this arch enemy, not knowing anything, opens the box that is one hundred percent certain to be a disaster, but ends up with good fortune, this is called 'Rule Luck'."

"Ensuring that no matter what situation the player is in, they will not encounter disaster, and can even change things that were one hundred percent certain, you can think of it as Schrödinger's box."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"..."

"..."

Tuberculosis Rabbit stood silently with a blank expression, and after a long while, sucked in a breath with some toothache: "Wait a moment, Yi, I need to have a smoke first."

Sword Without End, who had been listening quietly on the side, nodded thoughtfully: "I think I might have roughly understood what Yi meant."

"Yi is guessing the extent of that 'luck' in terms of speed."

"If it is the first kind, ordinary luck, then it's just a bit of good luck, nothing problematic."

"But if it's the second kind, Rule Luck, it's basically impossible to kill."

"Rule Luck mainly depends on one thing: the player's subjective consciousness."

After clearing his throat, Sword Without End explained: "Under the influence of Rule Luck, as long as the player believes that the revolver in front of him is not loaded, then even if it is fully loaded and he fires six shots at his own temple, it will only jam all six shots."

"Conversely—"

"If the player knows that the revolver in front of him is loaded but still picks it up and shoots himself in the temple, the bullet will fire as expected because 'Rule Luck' determines that the host knew the danger but still proceeded, which means the host must have their own reasons."

"And when the host believes they are not in danger, then they will definitely not be in danger. Anything that could one hundred percent cause danger will be forcibly diverted by the host's subjective consciousness."

Sitting quietly on the side, Jiaye popped a sunlit grape into his mouth without chewing and tentatively asked, "Does that mean, as long as the player always believes they are absolutely not in danger, they will truly be safe?"

"Yes."

Sword Without End nodded earnestly: "That's the terror of 'Rule Luck,' it completely changes the objective existence according to the host's subjective consciousness."

"To kill such a person,"

"there's only one way: you have to make them believe they are in danger, otherwise you'll never be able to kill them. 'Rule Luck' will help them avoid all crises, it's an invincible existence."

"Truly invincible."

"Hisss..."

Tuberculosis Rabbit, who had kind of understood, couldn't help but complain: "How are we supposed to fight this duel? How to kill someone completely invincible and who can't be killed? Both are S-rank Props, but why does 'Fortune as Vast as the Eastern Sea' feel much stronger than 'Longevity as the Southern Mountains'?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Confidently, Sword Without End said: "Isn't Yi also absolutely unable to die this month?"

"A battle between two invincible people, to be honest, is pretty difficult to determine a winner or the matter of life and death."

"It can't end in a draw, right?"

"The rule is that whoever wins gets the other's S-rank Prop and forms the ultimate Prop set, but how do you determine if it's a draw?"

"We pretty much get the basic situation."

"If it's just the first kind of ordinary luck, then there are many ways to deal with it. Even if you have good luck and can dodge bullets, you can't dodge bullets coming from everywhere, right?"

"If it's the second kind, 'Rule Luck,' then it's a bit troublesome, and we need to think of a solution."

"..."

"..."

Tuberculosis Rabbit and the others exchanged glances, seeing headaches in each other's eyes.

The battle was coming up at the end of the month, and they still hadn't figured out how to deal with an enemy with maxed out Luck Points.

This isn't just maxed out Luck Points.

This is basically taking a loan from the King of Hell, isn't it?

...

Elsewhere in Starfield.

Wen Ping, who had just taken the necklace from the casino owner, hadn't been away from the city for long when he reached a desolate countryside and was suddenly surrounded by a group of people.

"Hey!"

A group of fierce-looking men slowly encircled Wen Ping, and the tattooed, bearded leader smiled sinisterly: "Kid, you've got some gambling chops."

"Been following you for a while, ah, a new face."

"Leave the necklace behind and transfer the Points in your account to us."

"You can leave here alive."

"Otherwise... heh heh."

The gang of thugs, with bloodlust in their eyes, looked at each other and smirked: "Don't worry, even if you don't cooperate, we won't kill you. We'll just pull out all your teeth, lock you in a secret room, and make it impossible for you to die even if you want to."

"No need to think about making the next trip to hell anytime soon; we're going to keep you imprisoned."

"The longest we've kept someone was one year and three months."

"Kid, think for yourself, do you want to cooperate with us or do you want to squat in a secret room for a few years?"
