There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

"..."

Tuberculosis Rabbit stood expressionlessly at the entrance of the rooftop's security door, looking at nearly a hundred people bustling back and forth with various market items and tools. Eventually, he couldn't help but turn toward the hot pot restaurant owner beside him and speak without showing any emotions.

"Yi, you were supposed to deliver some hot pot, not move your entire shop here."

"Of course, of course."

The hot pot restaurant owner was also quick on the uptake, responding attentively and respectfully, "If it hadn't been for Yi investing in my hot pot restaurant, my business wouldn't be this good now. Many of my peers have gone under, pursuing business among the dead. As for those serving the living well, I reckon I'm one of the few left."

"Moreover, Yi endured so much humiliation to protect Blue Star from invasion, having just returned from such a dangerous place."

"The gratitude I owe to Yi, and to the entire Blue Star, is immense."

"It's rare that Yi needs me for something, I must ensure that everyone is treated impeccably."

Just as Tuberculosis Rabbit, standing in the shadows, was about to say something,

suddenly two of the hot pot restaurant owner's subordinates came towards them, carrying a tank of fish. The sound of their conversation drifted over clearly on the night breeze.

"Two people would've been enough to deliver ingredients for Yi. Why did the boss close the doors of the restaurant and call all of us over?"

"Who knows."

"And making us carry this fish tank up and down, this is already the third time we've carried it upstairs. He even said we need to make sure Yi sees our service. Even if it's service, there's no need to keep carrying the same thing downstairs and upstairs again and again."

"Maybe because if we didn't do this, this small job would be finished quickly, and the boss is probably worried Yi might think we are cutting corners."

At that moment—

The two subordinates suddenly noticed Tuberculosis Rabbit and the owner standing in the shadows.

"..."

"..."

As eight eyes met, the air suddenly became silent.

Tuberculosis Rabbit turned his head, looking expressionlessly at the big crucian carp in the fish tank: "Do people in Yancheng have a tradition of eating fish with hot pot?"

"Well..."

The hot pot restaurant owner said sheepishly, "We could prepare a buttery spicy pot and a side stove. Having fish with a side stove is actually quite good."

Tuberculosis Rabbit sighed slightly annoyed and then spoke, "Alright, alright, I know you mean well, but you'd better hurry up. Yi and the others are waiting to eat. Don't delay too long, or your good intentions might lead to a big mistake, that'd be really unjust."

"Okay, okay, okay."

The restaurant owner nodded his head like a pecking chicken, then looked somewhat exasperatedly at his two subordinates: "What the hell are you still standing around for? Hurry up and get things ready!"

...

Meanwhile,

Chen Yi was sitting at the edge of the rooftop beach, with a fishing rod perched on the stand in front of him, the line cast into the deep sea, while Jiaye sat by his side, her head resting on his shoulder, smiling contentedly as she quietly savored the intimate moment.

His beach chair could transform the surrounding environment into a beach.

It was tangible.

There was even seawater at the edge of the beach.

At this time, Chen Yi was fishing by the sea, and with each passing moment, he looked more and more like a seasoned fisherman, except the fishing rod in his hand looked like jade.

It was jade-green.

Translucent and shining.

It looked more like a culturally rich art piece rather than a fishing rod, something you might expect to find in an art museum.

This item was one of his latest acquisitions.

An A-grade prop, the Power of Faith.

Leaving aside the prop's effects, the sheer aesthetic value alone warranted an A-grade. It was near flawless, and the moment he held it, he was reluctant to let it go. Along with it, he also gained three Galaxy Megaphones.

The effects were simple.

They allowed one to broadcast across the entire Annihilation Star System.

The effect was similar to a global megaphone, only with a broader range.

He had been fishing for about fifteen minutes without catching anything, but it was understandable since the thing only looked like a fishing rod, it wasn't actually one, so naturally, it wouldn't catch any fish.

Moreover, what normal person would do sea fishing while sitting on a beach?

The reason he arranged this posture was mainly because the occupational pose of the Gold Miner was too unsightly.

Yes, it was too unsightly.

In the night,

Jiaye rested her shoulder against Chen Yi, and the two sat on the beach under the moonlight, creating an incredibly romantic and warm scene, but this moment was somewhat marred by a distracting structure nearby.

Yes, a structure.

Identical to the hook from the 'Gold Miner' mini-game.

There was a boxy support frame, with ropes, and at the end of the rope there was a hook that resembled a ship anchor. Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire

This was the effect of his new occupation for the week.

When he activated the occupational effect, this device would appear, even though there was nothing to aim at. As soon as he activated the frame, the hook tied at the end of the rope would shoot out toward the space in front of him on its own accord.

Then, not far from the frame, a white portal would appear.

The occupational effect was clear, the object fetched each time was random.

So no one knew what exactly would be caught next.

At that moment—

The frame started to shake suddenly.

This meant that his hook, which had gone out on a 'trip', was finally coming back.

You've heard of a traveling frog, now there's a traveling Gold Miner.

"Hmm?"

Chen Yi looked at the trembling portal with some anticipation, eager to see what the hook would bring back this time. He had activated it five times already, and each round trip of the hook took five minutes.
