There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 180 "Damn it, throwing a celebration for a mere 1% map completion rate.

"You've successfully survived 24 hours and slain 23,201 level one demons and 23 level two demons, achieving an extremely impressive score, which has brought you a distinguished map evaluation score,"

"Your map evaluation score is... 1%."

"Ranked second among the squads on this map's leaderboard."

"Nice!!!"

"Epic!!!"

The moment the notification sounded, the ten members of Sin Department Team One couldn't contain their excitement and probably roared out their emotions!

"We are the champions!!!"

"Sin Department rocks!!"

"So epic, we successfully snagged a whopping... one percent?"

The voice suddenly came to an abrupt halt.

The few who were celebrating suddenly looked at the prompt panel with somewhat stiff expressions. After reading it several times and making sure they weren't seeing things, the excited look on their faces gradually became rigid, and they stood still like wooden statues.

The rating doesn't seem to be 100%?

But... 1%?

The Head of the Sin Department, Scarface, who was the most ready to celebrate, almost popped his eyes out at this point, staring fiercely at that percentage figure!

A face full of disbelief!

If he wasn't seeing things, didn't the map evaluation panel clearly state that their score was excellent?

You give an excellent score like this a 1% evaluation?

Are you freaking human?

The Head, after all, was the head. Scarface suddenly thought of something, trembling as he opened "Destiny's Adversary" squad leaderboard, and when he saw "Rabbits Do Not Kill" squad at the top with a 100% map evaluation score.

Everything suddenly made sense.

With a face full of perplexity and helplessness, he looked up to the sky and with shaky hands lit a cigarette and brought it to his lips, not quite knowing what to say.

Did anyone tell him what he was supposed to do now?

What on earth did Chen Yi do in the map to pull the scoring limit to such an outrageous extent, leading his team to survive 24 hours and killing that many demons?

That's already pretty stellar, right?

But such a performance only got a mere 1% map evaluation score?

Is this... normal?

Chen Yi couldn't possibly have killed all the demons in the map, right?

Impossible, the map's demons were countless, beyond the sight's limit; he'd rather believe Chen Yi had convinced the demons to repent and become angels in the map than accept that Chen Yi had killed every single demon there.

"Hea... Head."

A team member next to him spoke with a tremor of despair: "What do we do now? We were planning to make a name for ourselves, and now we've got a 1% map evaluation score; our reputation is completely shot."

"How are we supposed to recruit for the Guild when we set it up with this on our record?"

They didn't understand what was going on either, or what Chen Yi actually did in the map, but now wasn't the time to think about that, it was about how to manage public opinion on this crisis so as not to embarrass Sin Department too much.

"Let's come up with an excuse, say we were actually going on a team building trip in the map?"

"Hold on."

Scarface finished the cigarette in his mouth in confusion, then mustered up the courage, still shaking, to open up the forums: "Let's see what everyone is saying first, then consider how to handle this PR crisis. That excuse is a bit lame; we'll think of a better one in a meeting later."

However, seeing the posts on the forum, he suddenly fell silent with a bizarre expression.

There were quite a few posts discussing Sin Department, but the direction of the discussion was somewhat different than they expected.

"Sin Department, which squad is that? Never heard of them before, they're so bad-ass, the second squad to clear 'Destiny's Adversary.'"

"Indeed bad-ass. You know, since Chen Yi cleared this map, no other squad managed it, didn't expect Sin Department to do it. Skywake is so cocky, yet they haven't cleared this map until now, have they?"

"It seems that Sin Department should be considered the second strongest squad in the world, right? Weaker than Chen Yi's squad but much stronger than Skywake Squadron."

"Yeah, Skywake is so full of themselves, claiming to be the world's number one squad, but now it looks like they can't even match up to Sin Department."

"..."

Scarface's hands suddenly stopped trembling, and his body straightened up abruptly as he scrolled through the forum posts with an extremely odd expression. After a long while, he gave his expectant teammates an odd look.

"You might not believe this, but we've become the second strongest squad in the players' eyes globally…"

"It seems like it's because when we were completing the map, Skywake Squadron went to show off in front of Chen Yi and got brutally face-slapped and crushed, and now the whole internet has a poor view of Skywake."

"Then, we're the second squad to clear this map, plus we didn't show off or say any arrogant words, so in the netizens' hearts, we've become a low-profile yet capable squad…"

"The world is getting weirder, my brain can't keep up, give me a moment to process this."

Thirty minutes later.

A post suddenly went viral on the internet.

'Head of the Sin Department's personal account!'

'Today, I truly experienced the terrifying strength of Chen Yi and his team, I led Sin Department Team One and gave it our all in the 'Destiny's Adversary' map, yet we only got a 1% map evaluation score.'

'This shows just how terrifying the strength of Chen Yi is.'

'Respect.'

'The entire Sin Department bows down, we're not as skilled, this 1% map evaluation score is already the limit for the Sin Department.'

'We hope that in the next map, the Sin Department can achieve a lot more outstanding results.'

'Below is a free guide to the 'Destiny's Adversary' map, it seems to be a tower defense map, there's a House of God before you enter the map...answering questions grants Props...some answers to the questions I've organized and put below...'

'...to pass this map, one must have a flying Vehicle that can stay airborne for 24 hours, otherwise, it's impossible to survive for 24 hours...'

'We survived 24 hours, and killed nearly 30,000 Demons but still only got a 1% map evaluation score, based on the timestamps provided by everyone and the terrifying map completion score of the 'Rabbits Do Not Kill' team, the Sin Department has made a guess that's hard to believe but very close to the truth—'

''Rabbits Do Not Kill', in just a few hours, likely slaughtered millions of Demons within the map.'

'With such a terrifying strength, the Sin Department bows down!'

The post quickly went viral, and the comments section was continuously flooded with new messages.

'The Head of the Sin Department really has an impressive outlook!'

'Indeed, even with the same 1% map evaluation score, the reactions of the Sin Department and Skywake are like heaven and earth, these two powers are simply not on the same level.'

'This is the magnanimity a man should have.'

'And they even shared their strategies for clearing the map for free, when does the Head of the Sin Department recruit? I want to join you too.' Find your next read on empire

"..."

Sitting on the rooftop, Scarface, looking at the countless flooding comments below the post, couldn't help but heave a long sigh of emotional relief, "In this day and age, it's the first time I've encountered netizens spoon-feeding us."

"We did no PR, and suddenly the reputation is so good."

"Turns out doing a good job is not as good as being in contrast to others."

"Had I known it was so simple, we wouldn't have made such an effort, could've just taken a nap on the Flying Boat on the map and come out with a 1% score, without spending any Points."

"We should also thank Skywake; otherwise, it might be us getting criticized right now, not Skywake."

"Come on, let's have a victory feast!"

At this, Scarface couldn't help but laugh at himself, "For fuck's sake, a 1% map rating and we're holding a damn victory feast."

"But for some reason, this victory feast feels particularly satisfying."

"Brothers, raise your glasses, cheers!"

"Today, we feast on skewers!"

ps: These two days I kept having stomach issues, leading to several delayed updates. Though I made up for them, I did end up posting a few hours later than usual.

Even though no one scolded me, I still felt guilty.

Today, for the extra chapter, I feel much better inside.

I hope everyone can forgive my stomach.

To reward myself for the extra update today, I'm going out for some barbecue. Good night everyone, get some rest early.
