There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Upon hearing this,

the sharp-mouthed player's face instantly turned deathly pale and he stopped talking.

Pixiu are some of the oldest players, who, after devouring too many corpses, have bellies so distended they cannot be looked at directly. Their minds have also begun to fog up; from the long-term fermentation, the stench inside the belly of such Pixiu players is unspeakably foul!

Here, the most brutal torture

is to stuff someone's head into the belly of a Pixiu.

It's undoubtedly a memory that will last a lifetime.

"How about it?"

After giving his pet a lesson, the man turned to Chen Yi with a smile and said, "Here, every new player's first lesson is to swallow 10 corpses, just like what you just witnessed. But if you follow me, of course, you'll avoid all that."

"My influence here is not small. With you joining us, we are sure to reach new heights."

"Don't worry about our strength."

"We even have former project staff members who have become cleaners under us. You should know, not every power can boast having project staff members as cleaners."

"No need."

Chen Yi glanced around, saw nothing of further interest, and prepared to leave. As he was about to go, he casually asked, "The project staff turned cleaners... I remember players aren't allowed to kill project staff, right?"

"Hey."

The man shrugged nonchalantly, "In the Ascension game, there's really only one rule."

"That is, every so-called absolute rule can be circumvented."

"In principle, players absolutely cannot kill project staff members, but there's always a way."

"Oh?"

Chen Yi's eyes narrowed as he looked at the man before him and then glanced at the 6-minute countdown nearby. He asked, "What's your name?"

"Ping Ye. My people call me Brother Flathead, but you can just call me by my full name—we're equals."

"Okay, Ping Ye."

Chen Yi took a deep breath, then looked earnestly at the man before him: "Tell me about the method you mentioned. If you can indeed propose something I'd consider adopting, I might owe you a favor."

"There are quite a few methods."

The man didn't care about the favor Chen Yi mentioned. No matter how powerful Chen Yi was before, everyone had to start over here. What use was the favor of a new cleaner to him?

What he really admired was Chen Yi himself.

A ruthless man who annihilated the Ten Clans.

He felt that associating with such a person gave him face.

Even though he was starting from scratch now, he had once stood at the pinnacle. Besides, if he weren't starting over, he would never have had the chance to meet someone like this.

That's also why he was willing to offer the position of vice president directly, even though Chen Yi was just a newbie.

A major reason was that having someone with a big name serving as the vice president of his force would significantly boost its prestige—or as they would say on his home planet,

it was about enhancing brand influence.

Then, after pausing for a moment, he continued, "In the Ascension game, there is a rule that players are not allowed to kill project staff, as it means directly confronting the Ascension game and will lead to severe punishment."

"But we only need to kill those who aren't project staff. What we want is to kill certain individuals, to put it another way, to strip away the project staff status from the individuals we want dead."

"The method is simple."

"Firstly, most project staff members are former race players who signed debt-related contracts with the Ascension game and failed. They started working for the game to pay off their debts. If you help clear their debts and let them revert to race player status, they can be killed however you like."

"Secondly, major punishments, like if you want to kill a project staff member from a certain planet, you just need to annihilate all the players from that planet. Then, due to the grave mistake, the planet's project staff will naturally be punished and sent to the depths of hell to serve as cleaners for a year."

"However, this only applies to runner-up planets of three volumes or less, and there is a one-year limit."

"It does not apply to the Starfield Project Team."

"If you want to target the Starfield Project Team, you would need to wipe out all the players in the Starfield, and then all the staff members of the Starfield Project Team would be thrown here."

"Thirdly, is betting."

"Betting?"

Chen Yi's eyes narrowed thoughtfully, and he asked, "You mentioned two methods before, none seem very feasible. To massacre the entire Annihilation Starfield? That's a straight pass for me; I'm not yet powerful enough to be so brazen."

As for helping the Feng Family regain their race player status...

"That's disgusting."

"He was here for revenge."

"Not to slave away for the other side, or to play the fool."

"Yes, a wager."

It was clear that Ping Ye was extremely saddened by Chen Yi and spoke seriously, "As long as a wager agreement can be signed with the members of the project team, anything can be okay in the content of this wager agreement."

"Just include a clause in the wager agreement that the loser will completely die and fall into the depths of hell."

"The Ascension game does not allow players to kill the project team members because these members represent the face of the Ascension game; it's a slap in the face. But, if a project team member privately signs a life-or-death contract with a player, then it becomes a private issue, which is unrelated to the identity of a project team member."

"At that time, it will all be about personal strength."

"Understood."

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes and began to ponder this matter; it seemed quite difficult. How could he make the Feng Family wager with him? And preferably, all members of the Feng Family, without any escapees.

This matter was a bit difficult to handle.

Seeing Chen Yi in deep thought, Ping Ye didn't interrupt him but simply waited patiently for Chen Yi's decision.

Who knows how much time had passed.

Chen Yi glanced at the countdown that was about to end, looked up at Ping Ye with a light laugh and said, "Thanks, I think I have some ideas now. I owe you a favor; you can think it over, and just tell me next time we meet."

"I just came down for a stroll to see how the environment for my enemies' retirement was. Now it's time to go back."

"Meet again?"

Ping Ye's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he said, "Without the protection of power, a new player here..."

Before he could finish speaking.

He saw Chen Yi's figure begin to blur gradually, and then the whole person vanished on the spot.

"Snap!"

Almost instantly, Ping Ye's jaw dropped to the ground in shock, his eyes full of disbelief and amazement. How could it be? He had just heard Chen Yi say he just came down for a stroll, thinking it was a joke.

How could the players who came here return?

This was the highest rule of the Ascension game; those who came to the depths of hell would spend their remaining lives here, with no way to return. How could it be?

But then he seemed to think of something, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He had just said the highest rule of the Ascension game was that any rule could be broken. He didn't expect this statement to come true so soon; he truly did not anticipate that one could return after coming here.

And from the sounds of it, it seemed so easy.

Inspect his enemies' retirement environment?

After a long while.

It took a while for Ping Ye to recover. Tightening his belt, with a mix of pain and eager anticipation, he grabbed his pet by the side and shot off into the distance. He couldn't wait to show off to his old friends about his exchange with the infamous person from hell, Chen Yi!

If Chen Yi had truly died and come to hell, although he would have been excited, he wouldn't have been this thrilled.

After all, only the reputation remained.

But the situation was different now.

Chen Yi was just passing by for a stroll; that made his conversation with Chen Yi a powerful boasting asset.

After all, there is still a difference between the living and the dead.

And it seemed like Chen Yi was planning to send down a batch of project team members, as if he were an accomplice?

Thinking of it that way felt so thrilling.

...

Meanwhile, on Chen Yi's side, after deciding to use his eligibility.

He felt a flash of white light in front of him, and when he regained his vision, he was standing on the rooftop looking at Tuberculosis Rabbit and a few others sitting on the stone bench. After a brief pause, he smiled and said.

"Long time no see, my friends."

"How have you been?"
