There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 177 "Don't wait until your face is slapped to know pain.

The direction of the wind on the forum was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Before Chen Yi and his team entered the map for the second time, people on the forum were discussing how "Skywake First Team" had achieved a 100% map rating, while Chen Yi's "Rabbits Do Not Kill" had only received an 87% rating!

Many were saying that Chen Yi's team was stronger than Skywake Second Team, but not quite as strong as Skywake First Team.

But no one expected to be proven wrong so quickly.

It was just the time it took to smoke a cigarette.

Chen Yi's "Rabbits Do Not Kill" refreshed their record, obtained a 100% map rating, and pushed "Skywake First Team"'s rating down to a mere 1%!!

"Am I seeing things, or did Skywake First Team's map rating just drop to 1%?"

"What else could it be? Obviously, Chen Yi and company went in again, and this time they got a map rating so exaggerated that it crushed Skywake First Team's score to 1%."

"Even so, isn't that a bit too exaggerated? How can a 100% rating turn into 1%? Isn't that a bit too preposterous?"

"You think that's exaggerated? Chen Yi's team got a 100% rating because that's the highest possible score, and Skywake First Team got a 1% rating because the lowest possible score is just that, 1%. The gap between them isn't simply 99."

"Paying a lot for Chen Yi's secret to clearing the game!"

Suddenly, the forum online was in an uproar.

Chen Yi stood on the rooftop, looking at the prompt in front of him, raised an eyebrow slightly with a smile, and said nothing. Seeing such a rating was much more pleasing.

"This really pushed Skywake First Team's face to the ground for a good rubbing, eh."

Sword Without End was scrolling through the forum discussions and commented, "If the President of Skywake were even a bit petty, they'd have taken an instant dislike to us."

"No, they wouldn't."

Tuberculosis Rabbit lit a cigarette from his pocket, took a drag, patted Sword Without End on the shoulder, and said with a wide grin, "Yi and I have always been well-liked, never had any enemies."

"..."

Sword Without End's lips twitched slightly but he said nothing.

Yes, no enemies.

Perhaps it's more accurate to say there are no enemies left alive?

Those who offended you were all sent to hell by you, weren't they? Is there even one left jumping around on Blue Star?

The enemies you have in hell, weren't they also taken care of by him?

Right now, there are more than a hundred adorable little ones waiting for him to deal with down there. Although he really didn't want to go down another time, for some reason the look in Tuberculosis Rabbit's eyes always made him feel like he was about to drop dead the next second.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Sword Without End's eyes lit up and he looked at the forum with a strange expression, "Someone from Skywake has spoken up."

"Take a look."

"Oh?"

Tuberculosis Rabbit leaned in curiously, "What did they say?"

'Skywake's declaration of war!'

'My name is He Chaowei, the Director of Public Relations for Skywake. We acknowledge the strength of Chen Yi and his team; they are among the top players. We've always admired the capabilities of Chen Yi and his team.'

'But Skywake is the strongest player organization in the world. As of May, we had already started taking shape, and under the leadership of our President, we've gathered a formidable array of players. Our strength is not to be underestimated.'

'Out of the top hundred on the Global Vehicle Leaderboard, 17 are members of Skywake.'

'A 1% map rating does not reflect the true strength of Skywake. Chen Yi discovered how to clear this map, and naturally, so did we. The President has already led Skywake First Team back into the map.'

'When the President comes out, perhaps everyone will then see Skywake's true strength.'

'Those who are kicking Skywake when it's down should be charitable with their words; don't wait until it's your own face getting slapped to start feeling the pain.'

Beneath the post, the comments section exploded.

There was support, skepticism, ridicule, admiration, insults, and flattery.

Reading all manners of comments is like observing all the vicissitudes of life. Your next journey awaits at empire

"Yi?"

Tuberculosis Rabbit spoke with a somewhat odd look on his face, "Looking at this statement, the President of Skywake has also guessed the six-digit password, right?"

"Probably."

Chen Yi didn't seem to pay it much mind and casually said, "After all, the password 392766 isn't that hard to guess, as long as you have a bit of a curiosity for peculiar knowledge, you can pretty much nail it."

"But even if they guess the password correctly, they shouldn't be able to get a higher score than us. After all, our vehicle's speed ranks first in the world, and no one has surpassed it yet."

"If their vehicles are slower than ours, it's destined that they'll take more time to clear the map than we do."

"Let's go, that's it for today."

"It's getting late, time to go to sleep."

"As for you..."

Chen Yi turned his head to look at Sword Without End, pausing for a long while before saying, "You'll be staying in Yancheng during this period. Just find yourself a house. That's fine."

"Okay."

Sword Without End nodded, seemingly without much thought.

"Or you could come to our place if you want."

Tuberculosis Rabbit, seemingly not yet satisfied, licked the corner of his mouth, "We even have a spot on the wall for you, come over anytime you like."

"..."

Without expression, Sword Without End glanced at Tuberculosis Rabbit and, without a word, stepped onto his Three-Foot Qingfeng and sped off into the distance.

...

Three minutes later.

Chen Yi and Tuberculosis Rabbit had already gone back to their room to prepare for bed.

"Hasn't come back yet?"

Wearing a bathrobe and lying in bed, Tuberculosis Rabbit scrolled through the team rankings on "Silent Deserted Island": "The map score for 'Skywake First Team' is still at 1%. If they guessed the password, they should have come back by now, right?"

"Could it be that they didn't guess the password?"

And just then—

The team rankings on "Silent Deserted Island" finally showed a change for 'Skywake First Team'!

"It moved, it moved!"

The map score for Skywake First Team quickly rose, climbing from 1% to 1.28% in a matter of seconds and then stopped...

"1.28%?"

Tuberculosis Rabbit strangely looked at the number, and after being sure that he wasn't seeing the decimal point incorrectly, he turned to the hottest thread on the forum.

As expected.

As he had anticipated.

A barrage of mockery began swiftly flooding the thread.

'A whopping 1.28%? You made me laugh. So much for the strongest organization in the world. Go home and raise pigs instead.'

'I approve of the aggression from the post above.'

'This quote should be classic: "Don't wait until your face is hit to realize it hurts."

'Hey, does it hurt? It's the first time I've seen someone offer their face up for a slap. Chen Yi hasn't said a word, and you from Skywake willingly put your faces out there to get slapped. What are you trying to achieve?'

"Wasted."

"To think I assumed Skywake would have also guessed the password. If they didn't, why talk so tough?" Tuberculosis Rabbit laments, smacking his lips.

"Really."

"Let's sleep."

Chen Yi wasn't paying much attention to all this and instead lay on his own bed, picked up an eye mask from the side, and put it on to prepare for sleep.

"Why don't you take out that massage prop of yours and use it? It's been a tiring day, could use some relaxation before sleep."

"Oh, okay."

Tuberculosis Rabbit quickly opened his prop backpack, looking at the neatly categorized props as he searched, "Just a second, Yi. I'll look for it; it's been a while since I've used it."

ps: Yesterday, to celebrate the five chapters, I ate a cake and accidentally upset my stomach.

The remaining two chapters are being revised, and I'll post them as soon as I'm done with the bathroom—very soon.
