There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Soon—

There was a change on the Global Vehicle Leaderboard again.

"Rank 3 Vehicle: 'Being pressed between a few tycoons, I'm really feeling some trepidation. Might as well pay my respects to the Rank 1 big shot for the New Year.'"

Owner: Wang Gou.

Vehicle Rating: 3128.

Following closely.

It was as if someone had poked a hornet's nest.

The previously not-so-popular Vehicle Renaming Coupons in the store suddenly saw a surge in sales.

The vehicles in the top hundred of the leaderboard had almost all changed their names.

The names were more nonsensical and weird than the next.

"Rank 6 Vehicle: 'Ahem, actually I just came up to join in the fun.'

"Rank 12 Vehicle: 'Let's test the one below, the next line to the phrase 'Scattered flowers are about to dazzle the eyes' is?'"

"Rank 13 Vehicle: 'Don't know, next one.'

"Rank 14 Vehicle: 'Can't afford it, pass.'

"Rank 18 Vehicle: '...'

The entire Global Vehicle Leaderboard had gone off the rails, veering toward the direction of a chat channel.

Everyone's conversation was harmonious.

Everybody knew that the vehicle names they changed could be seen by players around the globe.

Which means—

Players around the world were watching these top hundred vehicle leaderboard players socialize in their small circles through this method.

This sense of superiority made many feel secretly exhilarated.

Even though it cost 100 Points to change a name once, no one cared.

Everyone tried to show off their strengths and continuously display their awkward humor.

They also vaguely revealed their amiability and wealth.

No one used foul language, nor were there any passive-aggressive comments.

After all, this was essentially a global broadcast, and it was important to maintain a certain quality.

It was quite amusing.

On the Global Vehicle Leaderboard, everyone was clear about what the other ranked players were thinking, but no one spilled the beans, quietly savoring this time of superior feelings exclusive to the big shots.

"What are they up to?"

Standing in the central plaza, Tuberculosis Rabbit somewhat boredly took out a cigarette from his pocket and tossed it into his mouth, casually glancing at the Global Vehicle Leaderboard in front of him.

Yi had gone in to accept a mission.

He was waiting outside.

But for some reason, Yi had been inside for quite some time. Was accepting a mission that difficult?

Or was it because there were too many missions and it was hard to choose due to the wide variety?

He wondered if there were any high-reward missions, but satisfying Yi's expectations seemed a bit difficult.

Yi's expectation was to buy everything in the store.

At this moment, those on the Global Vehicle Leaderboard had already started playing Idiom Solitaire.

"Rank 6 Vehicle: 'Let's do Idiom Solitaire, Do As One Pleases.'

"Rank 7 Vehicle: 'Heartless despite wealth.'

"Rank 8 Vehicle: 'An army with a just cause.'

"Rank 9 Vehicle: 'A teacher known for his/her accomplishments.'

"Rank 10 Vehicle: 'A name that will last for all eternity.'

"..."

Tuberculosis Rabbit looked at the people on the Vehicle Leaderboard with a strange expression. He could faintly sense what they were up to.

They were showing off.

And it was that hidden kind of showing off.

The so-called hidden showing off is when someone appears normal, but you just feel like they are showing off.

He could even guess what the Rank 11 Vehicle owner was doing—probably frantically searching Baidu for idioms starting with the word 'ancient', afraid to be a step too late and appear uncultured.

Just then—

A series of world announcements suddenly rang out.

"Event Notice: Player 'Zhou Ping' generously and lovingly sent out 9999 Roses to Ms. 'Liu Xiaoqi' with a grand gesture. Let's send our heartfelt congratulations to them!"

It played five times in a row.

That wasn't all.

Then, players suddenly noticed an unfamiliar name that had made it to rank one hundred on the Global Vehicle Leaderboard.

"Rank 100 Vehicle: 'Let me announce to everyone, today is the 30-day anniversary for me and my love Ms. Liu Xiaoqi. My goal is to take down the number one spot on the Charm Leaderboard for her and give her the limited-edition Title that comes with it. I hope other brothers can bear the pain and let it go, and not compete with me for the spot, especially the big brother in the top spot, I'm counting on you to do me this favor.'

Owner: Zhou Ping.

Vehicle Rating: 193.

Right after that, the rating of this vehicle started climbing rapidly.

And its ranking on the leaderboard was quickly moving up as well.

It stopped only after reaching the 10th place.

Just enough to knock down that Butt Plug kid a notch, turning him into the Rank 11 Vehicle.

"Charm Leaderboard?"

Tuberculosis Rabbit thoughtfully looked toward the two exclusive event leaderboards.

"Rose Guardian Leaderboard."

Rank 1: Zhou Ping, 49995 Guardian Points.

Rank 2: Chen Yi, 30096 Guardian Points.

Rank 3: Sword Without End, 9999 Guardian Points.

"Peerless Beauty Charm Leaderboard."

Rank 1: Liu Xiaoqi, 50012 Charm Points.

Rank 2: Jiaye, 40095 Charm Points.

Rank 3: ...

And being on the leaderboard came with exclusive Titles.

The number one Titles respectively were "Godly Rich Gentleman!" and "Peerless Beauty!"

Second to third place Titles respectively were "Rich Tycoon!" and "Great Beauty!"

Fourth to tenth place Titles respectively were "Tycoon!" and "Beauty!"

Depending on the Title Level, the effects varied, and without a doubt, the top rank Titles were the best.

And this man who suddenly appeared on the Vehicle Leaderboard was after exactly these two number one Titles.

There are actually quite a few people who can spend 50k Points.

But not many are willing to do so.

After all, if you have that many Points, it would be better to buy props that can enhance combat power in the limited purchase mall. Why waste them on the Rose Guardian event?

Even if sending Roses earns you Guardian Points, they aren't very useful.

In the exclusive store for the Rose Guardian event, most of the items are flashy props; frankly speaking, they're all sorts of special effects props whose function is to make you look more flamboyant.

Props that enhance strength are scarce.

Therefore, this Zhou Ping, coming in with 50k Points to dominate the leaderboard, had pretty much already reserved two number one Title Levels for himself.

After all, not many people are willing to compete for this leaderboard.

Not a single person on the Global Vehicle Leaderboard responded to Zhou Ping, who suddenly popped up. Clearly, they were dissatisfied with Zhou Ping's untimely leaderboard challenge, which interrupted their fun game of word chains.

In just a short ten minutes or so,

the people on the Global Vehicle Leaderboard seemed to have already formed a small clique, beginning to subtly reject Zhou Ping, the outsider.

No one changed the name of their Vehicle in response to Zhou Ping.

The Vehicle Leaderboard that had been buzzing just now had suddenly become eerily quiet.

It felt somewhat awkward.

...

Meanwhile, Chen Yi was frowning, standing in front of a statue, propping his chin with one hand in deep thought and not uttering a word, totally unaware of what was happening outside.

He had originally planned to come over and see if there were any high-reward quests.

But he had hardly moved closer,

when a prompt sounded by his ear.

"Ding, player Chen Yi detected, the individual from Yancheng who killed the most Insect Race monsters during the Extraterrestrial Invader event, and as Yancheng is the first city in the world to resolve the Extraterrestrial Invader event."

"Player Chen Yi will be granted one-time free quest publishing rights."

"As a reward for player Chen Yi's bravery in the first battle."

Indeed.

There are many quests in this quest center.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Some are released by the game, such as killing Minotaur Monsters outside the city, etc.

Some are officially released by Yancheng, such as the need for ten men to transport garbage from inside to outside the city.

Completing a quest can yield Points, props, and more.

The specific rewards depend on how the quest publisher sets them.

The rewards for quests released by the game are naturally fixed.

But for quests published by people, the rewards are set by the quest publisher themselves.

For instance, if Chen Yi wants to publish a quest, he needs to specify on the quest requirements: how many people he needs, what rewards he can offer, what kind of people are needed, and so on.

And his right to publish a quest for free,

means he can publish a quest that theoretically all players in Yancheng can accept, and he doesn't need to pay any reward; the game will pay it on his behalf.

Whether players actually accept the quest, however, will depend on their willingness.

It's just that...

He couldn't think of a suitable quest to publish for the moment.

What he needed most right now was Points.

So figuring out a way to publish a quest that could earn him Points was his priority.

Thus, the first quest requirement he thought of was...

"Quest requirement: All players in Yancheng to transfer 1 Point to Chen Yi immediately."

He wasn't asking for much.

1 Point should be fine, right?

Yancheng currently had over a million people.

If each person gave him 1 Point, he would have a million Points, making a fortune instantly!

Unfortunately, the quest was rejected; it didn't pass the review process.

Just then, Chen Yi's eyes lit up, suddenly thinking of something.

Without any hesitation, he tried entering the task target.

...

A system alert suddenly rang out in the ears of all players in Yancheng and abruptly a quest panel popped up in front of them.

"Ding!"

"A city-wide quest from Yancheng's first battle hero 'Chen Yi'."

"Quest target: 'I wish for player Chen Yi's account to suddenly have an additional 100,000 Points.' Repeat this sentence 1000 times."

"Quest reward: After completing the quest, you may collect 50 Points."

"Would you like to accept the quest?"

Many players, seeing this panel that suddenly popped up, were stunned in place. Weren't quests supposed to be accepted voluntarily at the statue in the central square?

How could it pop up like this?

But this quest target...

Many started calculating quietly inside their heads.

If they were to wish for their own account to have an extra 100,000 Points, they'd likely get nothing even after a full day of effort, but if they wish for Chen Yi's account to have an extra 100,000 Points, they'd at least have a guaranteed 50 Points after repeating the sentence 1000 times.

50 Points wasn't a small amount.

How many monsters would they have to kill to get 50 Points?

Killing one Minotaur Monster only rewarded a few Points.

Between dreaming and a sure thing, most people chose the latter.

Meanwhile, prompts kept sounding in front of Chen Yi.

"Ding, 180,000 people have accepted the quest."

"Ding, 220,000 people have accepted the quest."

"..."

"Yi, you've finally come out."

Tuberculosis Rabbit, who was getting a bit anxious waiting outside, flicked his cigarette butt to the ground and stamped it out, striding up to meet him.

"Is this city-wide quest your doing, Yi?"

"Hmm."

Chen Yi tilted his head to glance at Jiaye standing behind Tuberculosis Rabbit and chuckled lightly with a lifted corner of his mouth.

"I'll gift you a Rose Planet later, let's check out the special effects together."

...

ps: 10 o'clock counts as early morning, right? Added 3 chapters, 10,000 words.

In three days since launch, updated with 60,000 words, can I ask for some monthly tickets?

Wuuwuu.
