There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 112 "I poke, I poke, I poke!" (Bonus update for 2000 monthly votes!)

However, it seemed as though the screen before him responded to his inner thoughts.

A light screen panel suddenly popped up.

"Buff available for purchase."

"Reset the cooldown time of a prop or skill, price 1000 Points."

"A shield that can block one attack from the boss, price 500 Points."

"Leave the boss space, price 10 Points."

So far, there were only these three purchase options.

The cheapest one was only 10 Points, which allowed one to leave the boss space; it was relatively friendly for those physically impaired.

At least it wasn't a surefire death sentence.

But if, by any chance, the balance was less than 10 Points, or if one couldn't survive the first strike, then it might be of no use at all.

1000 Points, huh.

The young man hesitated slightly. He did have 1000 Points in his account, but that price seemed too exorbitant. Although the world boss event allowed damage dealt to be converted into corresponding points...

No one was clear whether the points exchanged with these 1000 Points would be worth the cost.

Chances were it probably wouldn't be enough.

After some thought, the young man reluctantly shook his head to give up and once again raised his long bow, condensing an ordinary white light arrow in the middle of it.

As the young man released his fingers.

A damage number appeared above the boss's head.

"-329!"

The damage plummeted, nothing when compared to the nearly 20k damage from before!

But it wasn't on cooldown and could be used continuously.

...

"I poke, I poke, I poke!"

Han Yu excitedly wielded a small dagger, squeezing beneath the Bull Demon King's crotch, aiming for the giant boss's little toe, and repeatedly stabbing it with his dagger!

The speed was extremely fast!

His arms were even waving afterimages in the air!

His dagger had a special effect: it could stack bleeding damage!

Each attack might not inflict high damage, but it could stack a continuous bleeding effect on the adversary, and this effect could be stacked indefinitely!

In other words, what he needed wasn't the strength of his attacks, but rather the speed and frequency!

Having stacked less than 100 layers of bleeding effect, he was already first on the damage leaderboard, leading by a substantial margin with 47k damage!

This was his first time feeling the thrill of being at the top of the ranks—fantastic!

Even more exhilarating was that he wasn't allocated to the same boss space as Chen Yi!

Without that towering figure above him, he suddenly felt the air was a bit sweeter!

Now with positive feedback, Han Yu waved his dagger even faster. He had specifically purchased an expensive skill that allowed him to swing his dagger more swiftly.

Combined with his prop, the effect was simply too powerful to describe.

As for the buff shop that popped up, he just glanced at it and then ignored it.

A cooldown reset?

Useless to him, what he needed wasn't a cooldown reset but a faster attack speed.

A shield that can block one boss attack?

Even more useless, he could completely dodge those attacks.

And leaving the boss space was utterly pointless for him. How could he leave when he had finally become top rank?

As he continued to rapidly stab with the dagger in his hands, the gap between him and second place on the leaderboard also grew larger and larger!

Damage numbers never ceased to emerge above the world boss's head, densely popping up.

"-42!"

"-892!"

"-35!"

"-923!"

Two-digit damage from his dagger stabs, while the four-digit numbers were from the bleeding damage.

Initially, the bleeding damage wasn't so high, but with the stacking of the bleeding layers, the numbers rose higher and higher.

...

"Ugh."

Tuberculosis Rabbit squatted on the toe of the gigantic Bull Demon King, dangling a cigarette and idly passing the time.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if other players have noticed that the boss's attack range is always by its side; if you just stay under the boss's crotch, you won't get hit by its attacks."

"They must have realized it by now since it's not a particularly hard mechanic to notice."

Bored, he casually drew his Claw Knife across the boss's toenail.

"-67!"

"So low."

He couldn't help but roll his eyes—only 67 points of damage. It would be a laughing stock if word got out!

Actually, he really wanted to try and see how much damage his Claw Knife's charged attack could do.

In those ten days on the wilderness map, aside from building houses, he hadn't stopped charging it, so his Claw Knife's charge was even higher than last time.

But he held back, not unleashing the strike.

After all, if that strike accidentally stole Yi's top rank, it wouldn't be good; only the highest damage dealer in each boss space could advance.

If he advanced without that strike, he wouldn't be able to deal any significant damage.

That would be a waste.

He'd rather let Yi safely advance.

Of course... it might also be possible that he was being presumptuous, and that one strike wouldn't be enough to overtake Yi, but it still felt like a waste.

Better to skive off here.

He was ready to cheer for Yi's rampage.

...

"One shot, two shots, three shots!"

Jiaye, dressed in a tight t-shirt and denim shorts, aimed his handgun at the boss and shot earnestly.

Every shot could inflict a decent amount of damage.

"-348!"

"-421!"

She had just obtained a prop, a golden Desert Eagle that had no recoil, which even she could wield perfectly.

Now it had just turned pinkish-white.

She had spent a certain amount of Points to buy a dazzling skin for the prop, transforming its somewhat tacky golden hue into a cheeky and cute pinkish-white.

It suited her better.

Even though it looked cuter, its damage had not decreased.

Unlimited bullets, the bullets didn't require Points to use, but they did need time to create.

In a minute, she could produce one bullet, sixty in an hour, with permanent storage.

In the past two days, she had accumulated nearly 2000 bullets, which was enough for world boss use.

As for the firing rate, it depended on how fast she pulled the trigger; theoretically, if she pulled it quickly enough, she could even achieve a Gatling effect.

Of course, that was just a theory.

At least she didn't have that fast of a firing rate, and the speed of bullet accumulation wasn't very fast. Though each bullet didn't require Points, they also couldn't reach the point where, as long as she had enough Points, she would have infinite bullets.

Once the bullets ran out, there was nothing to do but stare blankly.

Even with such frequent high damage, she only ranked seventeenth on the damage leaderboard.

The top spot was a stranger's name.

"Wang Yimei."

She had never heard of him, but he was strong; his damage was three times hers.

Just then, a red circle suddenly emerged beneath her feet.

Her expression became serious, and she scanned her surroundings before sprinting rapidly in one direction.

Although the white suspender dress looked good.

During combat, short sleeves and jeans were more convenient.

...

"Huff!"

With the title "King Malphite" above his head, Tie Chui looked up at the giant boss towering thirty meters tall before him, then took a deep breath and instantly activated King Malphite's ability.

As King Malphite, he had three chances each month to gather the intelligence of the other 99 players onto himself, or to distribute his own intelligence among the 99 players, in exchange for high defense and damage capabilities.

He chose to distribute his own intelligence among the other 99 players!

It was almost instant.

The only clarity in his eyes instantly faded, and he stared somewhat vacantly at the giant boss's toes in front of him.

And the ability of that skill was.

The lower the intelligence, the stronger the attack.

When combined, it was comparable to one plus one being greater than two.

"Roar."

Suddenly, Tie Chui roared and raised his fist, aiming it forcefully at the boss's toes!

"-3293!"

The terrifying number popped up above the boss's head!

Immediately after, Tie Chui's arms, as if fitted with electric motors, pounded tirelessly and furiously at the boss's toes.

One punch, another punch, and yet another punch.

"-4281!"

"-3912!"

Each punch dealt three to four thousand in damage!

One could imagine that if these punches hit an ordinary player, they'd easily turn each one into a Little Carla with no problems!

Such frequent massive damage quickly put Tie Chui at the top of the leaderboard!

...

"Bang!"

Chen Yi fired the last shot with a calm expression!

"-123818!"

A 5% threshold execution attack!

And by this time, the boss's health bar was less than 5%.

Right after, the giant boss suddenly stiffened, then collapsed heavily onto the ground with no strength left!

As the boss died.

The surroundings once again became lively.

The players who had vanished before appeared around her again, and the enormous noise of discussion erupted like a marketplace.

Many people talked while casting glances in Chen Yi's direction.

The distance was a bit far, so they couldn't see Chen Yi.

But that didn't stop them from seeing the dozen or so titles in the air, noticeable even in a crowd of nearly a million players, where tens of thousands could clearly make out the titles among the crowd.

They stood out like lighthouses.

Meanwhile, countless system notifications sounded in his ears repeatedly!

"Ding, you have inflicted a total of 21.24 million damage, successfully topping the damage chart, and you have been promoted!"

"After the other boss spaces have finished their battles, you will proceed to a higher-level boss space to join other players in attacking a higher-level world boss!"

"Ding, you have inflicted a total of 21.24 million damage, which has been converted into 21.2 thousand Points."

"After the world boss event ends, players can use Points to buy related props in the exclusive world boss store."

"Ding, the boss space you are in is the first to kill the world boss, please wait patiently for other boss spaces to finish their battles."

"Ding, as you landed the final kill on the world boss, you receive an additional bonus of 5000 Points!"

Following that was a system announcement that could be heard by all players in the boss space.

"Ding, congratulations to everyone for successfully killing the world boss, the Bull Demon King. The top ten players who inflicted the highest damage are: Chen Yi, Li Zide, Hao Shengqi, You Chaosheng, Wang Zhongbang, ..."

"The player promoted from this space is: Chen Yi!"

"The other players will enter spectator mode when the higher-level boss space opens."

"And have the right to interact from the sidelines."
