Chapter 317: "You're actually quite nice." (9K words long chapter)
"Yi!"
The moment Tuberculosis Rabbit saw Chen Yi appear, he excitedly jumped up from the stone bench, strode up to Chen Yi, gave him a tight hug, then turned to Sword Without End behind him with an excited laugh.
"I told you Yi was back, didn't I? Otherwise, why would music suddenly start playing all over the world just now?"
"That's Yi's Title Effect."
Chen Yi, chuckling, patted Tuberculosis Rabbit's shoulder. Given the bond between the two brothers, there was naturally no need for many words. Then he turned to Sword Without End: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Hey."
Sword Without End scratched the back of his head, feeling a bit embarrassed: "You're making me blush with such words. I didn't do much during this time, and it wasn't hard. The best thing is that you came back safely, Yi."
"The Feng Family really set a trap for you this time, Yi, by giving you such a disgusting map. Everyone in the live stream thought you were going to make a fool of yourself, but you turned it around and performed a masterpiece in just one month."
"It's a pity you didn't see the barrage."
"On the last day, when you were about to clear the level perfectly, the players watching the stream were dumbfounded. Those who had mocked you in the beginning all shrank back, and the screen was full of 'awesome' comments. Even a player from the Sixfold Planet said that he watched the entire live stream, and if he were thrown into that map, he wouldn't be able to give a more perfect answer than you did."
"Sixfold..."
Chen Yi's pupils slightly contracted. He was still very happy to receive praise from a player of that level.
To a player from the Threefold Planet, a player from the Sixfold Planet is almost no different from a god.
It's almost as if they're not even playing the same game anymore.
The most basic difference is this.
Every player from the Sixfold Planet has an occupation, and just this alone is enough to completely overpower players from the Threefold Planet. The enhancement from Occupational Effects needs no further explanation.
But he hadn't expected that a player from the Sixfold Planet would actually watch his entire stream.

Are players from the Sixfold Planet really that idle?
Afterward, Chen Yi took a deep breath and then turned his head to look at Jiaye, who stood quietly in her sling dress, and said softly with a sense of guilt: "You've been wronged these past days. My strength isn't weak now, even without activating the Wife-Killing Buff."
"I promise you I'll try to use that Skill as little as possible in the future."
"No."
Jiaye took a step forward, lowered her head, and nestled into Chen Yi's chest, murmuring: "It doesn't matter if I die once, it's no big deal. If that little thing puts you in danger, Yi, that would be really terrible."
"I just hope you'll be more careful in the future."
"Like this time, what if you had died in the map?"
Before Chen Yi could say anything, she looked up at him with tearful eyes and said word by word: "I know you would say that even if you died, you'd just go to hell and come back up again, but what if something unexpected happened?"
"What if the map was a death map?"
"What if dying in the map meant actual death? With your Props and Title Effects restricted, how would you cope, Yi? Have you thought about it?"
Chen Yi didn't speak, just lowered his head and embraced Jiaye, feeling the warmth of the moment, and whispered: "It won't happen again. I've got a new goal now."
"What goal?"
"To bring peace to the world."
"You're teasing me again."
"I'm not teasing you. I've thought it through. Since we can't escape the game of progressing through the worlds, then I'll lead Blue Star to the highest point. We'll go all the way to the Ninefold Planet, and everything will naturally settle down."
"Then we can live a normal life."
Jiaye whispered with her head lowered: "That sounds very far away."
"It won't be long."
Tuberculosis Rabbit and Sword Without End exchanged glances, tried to pull Tie Chui, who was grinning foolishly nearby, away to leave some private space for Yi and his companion, but for some reason, Tie Chui just wouldn't budge today.
After attempting to pull big Tie Chui for a while with no success, Tuberculosis Rabbit looked expressionlessly at him.
"'Malphite's Brain', that Skill of yours, is almost on par with an S-level Skill."
"Are you going or not?"
Tie Chui didn't have many Skills.
'Malphite's Brain' was one of them.
The Special Effects of this Skill were extremely straightforward and powerful.
When one player starts using their brain to think about a problem, the intelligence of the remaining 999 players will decrease slightly, but their physical defense and limb strength will increase.
When 999 players start using their brains to think, the intelligence of the remaining one player will greatly decrease, but their physical defense and limb strength will receive an epic boost!!!
It was a limited edition of 1000 globally, and once all 1000 were acquired by players, the Special Effects of the Skill would be activated.
Now they had all been acquired by players.
So the resulting effect was that on normal days, without needing to do anything, Tie Chui's physical defense and limb strength were already receiving an epic level enhancement.
Like right now.
On other days, if Tie Chui went along with them, they could still pull him, but today Tie Chui had clearly exerted his strength. At this point, not to mention them, even a heavy truck might not be able to drag him away.
Unless heavy machinery was used.
But then again, this wasn't a fight. What heavy machinery could they possibly use? Or could they take out the greatsword that had been charging for months and give Tie Chui a stab?
Regardless of how hard Tuberculosis Rabbit and the others tried, Tie Chui simply wouldn't move an inch, just standing in place, grinning foolishly at Chen Yi.
