There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 199 Women are the Best Item for Men.

"Ah?"

Sword Without End tilted his head to look at Tuberculosis Rabbit and was startled for a moment. For some reason, just now, he had felt an unprecedented sense of dominance from Tuberculosis Rabbit, a sensation... that really didn't fit with Tuberculosis Rabbit's usual goofy persona.

He was genuinely curious about how Tuberculosis Rabbit managed to fight his way out of Ruin No. 4.

Despite being severely injured.

Put anyone else in that situation, not to mention severe injuries, they wouldn't even be able to make it out alive.

One against a hundred.

And each one stronger than you.

What's there to fight for, betting on a small cosmic burst?

Even if you bet on a little cosmic burst, that's not the way to do it.

"So how did you make it out?"

Sword Without End couldn't help but ask.

"Shh!"

Tuberculosis Rabbit put a finger to his lips and shushed softly, looking towards Chen Yi on the opposite high-rise roof with eyes full of anticipation and some urgency. "Put your arms down and wrap them around her, how can you be so clueless about affection?"

Under the night sky opposite, Jiaye had already burrowed tightly into Chen Yi's embrace, burying her head into his chest, her eyelashes trembling slightly, not daring to look up.

Chen Yi's arms were slightly stiff in the air, making him seem a bit awkward.

"Sigh."

Chen Yi let out a silent sigh, and after a brief silence, he slowly lowered his arms and hugged Jiaye close, gently patting her back without saying a word.

Just standing together under the starry sky.

He could stand in obscure places to admire the moonlight, but even with the moonlight in his arms, his indifference seemed to indicate a lack of romantic flair.

Just let things take their course.

After a while.

He spoke up to remind her, "I must remind you, you've broken the July rule."

"How many times did you just break it?"

"Twice," Jiaye said softly, her face reddening as her heart pounded with her head buried in Chen Yi's chest.

"That's not too bad, you still have one mistake allowance left."

"Be careful not to break the rules and bite the dust before the God Race even descends."

"Sword Without End only has one mistake allowance left too, right?"

"You two are different. He smokes, you express love."

"Then I will probably break the rule three times before Sword Without End does."

"Why's that?"

"Because..." Jiaye lifted her head, gazing at Chen Yi with determination in her soft voice. "Smoking can be restrained, love cannot be suppressed."

"..."

Chen Yi looked down expressionlessly at Jiaye in his arms, remaining silent for a long time before finally speaking softly. "Did that sentence just break the rules?"

"No."

"Then don't say it again, can you be normal for once? You sound like a lovesick fool."

"At the brink of death, you tend to be bolder with what you say and do."

"That's good."

Without saying more, Chen Yi released Jiaye from his embrace and, leaning on his cane, started walking toward the edge of the roof. "Let's go get something to eat; we've been in the Death Domain Map for too long. I'm getting hungry."

"As for you, you're not going to die."

"Okay."

Jiaye's eyes curved into crescents as she quickly trotted a few steps and latched onto Chen Yi's arm, following him downstairs.

...

"Quick, quick, quick!!"

Watching from the shadows on the opposite high-rise roof, Tuberculosis Rabbit and his companions scrambled downstairs. "Hurry and wait for Yi downstairs, we absolutely can't let him find out we were spying on them."

"If we're discovered, just say it was Tie Chui who dragged us up here."

Just as Tuberculosis Rabbit, panting, finally made it to the ground floor and stood outside the residential unit's entrance of Chen Yi's building, hands on knees and looking up to say something as Yi emerged from the doorway, his body suddenly froze, his eyes flickering with bewilderment.

There he saw Yi in a black, simple, yet casual suit, standing tall and straight as a pine, leaning on a black lustrous cane, with a blood-tinged rose pinned to his left chest.

The whole person seemed exceptionally... high-class?

This word suddenly popped up in his mind.

The suit's inner lining was a floral shirt with a few buttons undone, appearing both gentlemanly and rough, and rather than looking incongruous, it added a hint of roguish charm to Yi.

By his side, Jiaye was in a white luminescent evening gown, barefooted and towering over the waves at his side, clutching Yi's left arm.

The two golden ear threads, and the fine diamond bracelet on her slender jade-like arms, also matched perfectly, making Jiaye seem a little less girlish but a bit more mature.

A woman is a man's best accessory.

He couldn't remember where he had heard that phrase.

But now he suddenly understood it; with Jiaye by his side, he felt that Yi looked even more handsome and had more presence.

Having changed outfits at some point, they looked as though they were off to attend a grand soirée, and 'high-end' was the only word he felt could describe them—not for lack of desire to use something else, but simply because his vocabulary was a bit lacking.

"..."

Silently, Tuberculosis Rabbit and Sword Without End exchanged a glance before turning sharply and darting into the shadows of the neighboring building. When they reemerged,

Everyone changed into different outfits.

"Yi."

Tuberculosis Rabbit, standing straight, walked up to Chen Yi in a black tuxedo, gave a slight bow, and then spoke softly, "We're prepared to go to Zhong Bo City for barbecue. I've heard that the barbecue in Zhong Bo City is delicious, famous far and wide."

"What do you think, Yi? Shall we go there, or would you prefer to eat something else?"

"..."

Chen Yi looked Tuberculosis Rabbit up and down with a strange expression. "Are you cosplaying as a butler?"

Tuberculosis Rabbit's body stiffened once more, and as he lifted his head to look Chen Yi in the eye, he said deliberately, "Yi, don't I look like a gentleman about to attend an evening party?"

"Uh... yes, you do."

Chen Yi gave a definite answer, "So where is Sword Without End? We should get going. We have other things to do after dinner."

"Here."

Sword Without End, in a pink suit, was rolling up his sleeves while stepping out of the shadows. Looking up at everyone, he smiled and said, "Sorry to keep everyone waiting."

"What's this now?"

Tuberculosis Rabbit looked over at Sword Without End emerging from the shadows, his mouth twitching slightly.

It was the first time he had seen Sword Without End in a suit.

Usually, Sword Without End would be in a green robe or a Tang suit, always going for that ancient-style look, portraying a Sword Immortal.

But this time was an exception.

Without any shirt underneath, the suit was buttoned only at the top two buttons, leaving his chest bare for all to see, even with a glimpse of his curled chest hair.

It must be said, Sword Without End did have something going for him, with a decent amount of muscle on his frame that didn't look too dried up, but rather taut.

His right wrist was complemented by a watch, plus hair and a beard that had been purposefully groomed.

He surprisingly projected the forced, rugged beauty of a middle-aged man.

But that wasn't all.

Even Tie Chui had changed into a new set of clothes at some point, also a suit, but a very large one.

Tie Chui was nearly two meters tall, and his muscles large and firm, making the whole suit look puffed up as if it was about to burst at any second.

He stood beside the others, holding a massive blade on his shoulder, smiling goofily at them.

The blade was consistently wide from hilt to tip, about 50 cm wide.

The length of the blade was around 1.8 meters.

To call it a massive blade would be somewhat of an understatement; it would be more fitting to call it a giant ruler.

The so-called blade was blunt, at least 10 cm thick, so thick that not even deities could probably sharpen it easily.

With such a weapon, killing someone by hacking them might take some effort, but crushing someone to death?

That would probably just take a blink of an eye.

Tuberculosis Rabbit let out a long sigh before looking at Tie Chui with a complex expression, "Everyone says you're silly, but I don't think you're silly at all. You even know how to change clothes and strike a pose. Where did you get that blade? I haven't seen you use it before."

"Hehe."

Tie Chui chuckled and while bearing the blade on his shoulder, declared in his deep voice, "Death Domain… Map Reward… Grade C Prop."

"Nice."

Tuberculosis Rabbit glanced over the other four once more, then looked down at his own oddly matched outfit, feeling perhaps he had the worst fashion sense among them; the tuxedo looked indeed strange and didn't suit his style.

Without further thought.

He ran into the shadows to change back into his usual floral shirt and board shorts, then came out wearing flip-flops, hands in pockets and a cigarette dangling from his mouth, "Much better now."

The tuxedo was a bit restrictive.

The shorts were not.

Being too big was also a hassle.

"Let's go."

Chen Yi didn't say anything more, but began walking toward the exit of the residential area with a cane, with Jiaye following close by, arm in arm.

Tuberculosis Rabbit and Sword Without End followed immediately on either side behind them.

Tie Chui, shouldering the massive blade, walked at the back, towering like a mountain, overseeing the surroundings.

They quickly left the residential area, found an open space, sat on a sled, and headed towards Zhong Bo City.

For them.

Cross-city to eat barbecue isn't any more time-consuming than going downstairs to eat barbecue at home.

After all, the sled's speed had already reached four digits.

Although it wasn't the fastest vehicle created by humans before the arrival of the ascended game, after the game's arrival, it had become the fastest vehicle in the world.

...

Before long.

They reached Zhong Bo City and found a barbecue stand that was still open.

Surprisingly.

The city seemed extraordinarily vibrant, with young people bustling about on the streets, most of them either on missions or on their way to hunt outside the city.

Seemingly noticing the puzzlement in Chen Yi and his companions, the owner who came over to skewer the meat explained with a smile full on his face, "Before the arrival of the latter days, a lot of college students came to Zhong Bo City for barbecue."

"After the latter days came and the rules took effect, the city was strictly controlled, and these college students couldn't leave."

"Later on, when all vehicles became obsolete, even if they wanted to, they couldn't leave, so they all stayed."

"I must say, these college students are quite capable, once even causing the Minotaurs outside the city to run out of spawns."

At this, the owner couldn't help but add sentimentally, "Luckily we have these college students, otherwise Zhong Bo City wouldn't be as lively as it is now."
