Li Peiqi collapsed into a chair, staring blankly at the ceiling for a long while before muttering to herself.
"What a pity."
Only then did she turn and enter the back kitchen of the dessert shop.
"I'd like to request an early termination of my part-time job."
'Ding, your part-time position is as a cashier and shopping guide at the Happy Come dessert shop on 13th Street in Blue Star Hell, Kowloon City. The monthly salary is 6,000 Points, with a one-year contract. Early termination of the part-time job is a breach of contract and will result in a fine of 10,000 Points as a penalty.'
'Would you like to proceed with terminating your part-time job?'
"Yes."
'Ding, your early termination of the part-time job has been successful. Someone is expected to replace you within ten minutes. After you complete the job handover, you may return to Neutron Star.'
There were more than a few God Race players killed by Chen Yi.
Not to mention, simply on Blue Star alone, the number of God Race players who died reached millions.
When players die, Skills do not drop.
All Props carried on the body will drop, and some Props in the backpack will randomly drop as well.
Although the chances are slim, the death of so many God Race players here could result in a large amount of Props dropping, which is undoubtedly a vast treasure!
Unfortunately...
They died on Blue Star.
In the base game, there are several universal rules for all planets!
1: No player shall enter a Novice Planet still in its Novice Period, nor shall players who enter through certain Props cause indiscriminate killing.
2: No player may transfer any Props or Skills unrestricted in the Novice Period to Novice players by any means or method.
3: Any player holding a part-time job on a Novice Planet must not reveal any information about the base game.
4: Any player who divulges information such as the monthly rule pool, upcoming events, maps, Props, etc., to players of a Novice Planet will be subject to severe punishment!
Beyond these, there are a few additional miscellaneous rules.
Essentially, one is that players must not interfere excessively with players on Novice Planets, including revealing information or leaving behind Props.
This is why the group of God Race players who died on Blue Star didn't drop a single Prop.
The rules don't allow it.
But... players affected by the Skill "Violators, Annihilate Nine Clans" are not impacted by this rule.
At this moment, Black Eagle Star of the God Race.
Is like a treasury without a guardian.
The planet is deserted, but it possesses a huge amount of fallen Props and various treasures.
It's simply too tempting.
Originally, there were still some God Race players who had not died, but when their Race was annihilated, they too were forcibly erased.
Another rule of the base game.
If a Race is annihilated, the remaining players will also be erased.
Including players who had died and fallen into Hell earlier, they too were erased together.
Even the map of their own Race's Hell was forcibly shut down.
As to whether being annihilated means complete extinction, or descending to an even deeper level of Hell to become Scavengers, that remains unknown.
Nobody has yet revealed this news.
To be precise, very few players know about the existence of Scavengers, and most players are unaware of where Hell Players go after death. It's undoubtedly a history more tragic than complete death.
And what about emerging after becoming a Scavenger?
There's no coming out.
Once a Scavenger, always a Scavenger.
In general, there are only a few ways for such veteran players to travel to a Novice Planet.
One of them is, as with the God Race, to directly activate a Race-targeted bounty order. Going to a Novice Planet and killing a few Novice players poses no problem.
Although the cost is somewhat high.
After all, you can't take away any Props or Skill Fragments from the Novice Planet, meaning it's completely a loss-making act.
In most cases, no one would choose to do so.
Only under special circumstances, such as the God Race looking to establish their might, would someone do this. And of course, they ended up sealing their own fate.
The second way is through a part-time job.
But one cannot choose which Novice Planet to go to with a part-time job.
The system will randomly assign you.
It's highly probable you'll be sent to a Novice Planet in another Star System.
And the fact that she could arrive at this dessert shop just as Chen Yi arrived was due to a special Prop. That's to say, she was the only one who could deliver the message to Chen Yi.
Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't want to have anything to do with Chen Yi.
This man, too frightening.
...
Meanwhile, Chen Yi
Was leaning on a black umbrella, standing beside a street being pounded by heavy rain, looking at the card in his hand with a calm expression, not saying a word.
The content of the card was simple.
On "Black Eagle Star", lies a vast wealth.
Many factions want to swallow it.
But... none dare to.
It's Chen Yi's spoils of war. Although Chen Yi is currently on a Novice Planet and cannot leave, posing no threat to them.
But... he will always come out.
No one doubts that Chen Yi will die in his Novice Period.
Nor does anyone doubt that with Chen Yi on Blue Star, passing the base assessment will be impossible.
It's all just a matter of time.
Once Chen Yi emerges from the Novice Planet after eight months, the faction that rashly took possession of his spoils of war will have to pay a price for it.
After watching the livestream, no one has the audacity to guarantee they can withstand Chen Yi.
No, forget about guarantees.
Not even boasting, they dare not do so.
Though they dare not touch the wealth on Black Eagle Star, the sight of such immense wealth lying unclaimed is truly agonizing. Therefore, a certain faction sent Li Peiqi to convey a message to Chen Yi.
The gist of it was,
This faction wants the wealth on Black Eagle Star.
As recompense.
They were willing to offer an A-level Prop, 1 million Points, and three favors from their power when Chen Yi left the Novice Zone.
If he agreed, he should burn this card.
Feedback would then be received on the other side.
"..."
With a calm expression, Chen Yi stood on the street corner, staring at the card in his hand for a long time before lighting a cigarette and placing it in his mouth, gazing through the pale blue smoke at the bead-like raindrops before him.
The terms were not very tempting.
An A-level Prop and merely 1 million Points.
It certainly couldn't compare to the wealth of Black Eagle Star.
But he found such an approach from the other party quite acceptable; at least they had the decency to ask.
No matter how much wealth Black Eagle Star had, he couldn't take it with him, so as a trade, there was nothing inappropriate.
As for the name of this power, it was rather interesting.
'Black Dragon Guild.'
It sounded like the name of a crime syndicate, yet their conduct was quite orderly.
A moment later.
He lit the card in his hand, letting it turn to ash and disperse in the rainy night, the deal was properly concluded.
The three favors from the 'Black Dragon Guild' would be useful.
And at that moment—
Not far away, Sword Without End, carrying a black umbrella, came over with Zhou Ziqiang.
"It's done, Yi."
"Ah?"
Chen Yi, whose thoughts had drifted, looked toward Sword Without End and Zhou Ziqiang under the black umbrella and instinctively glanced at his watch, a bit stunned, "So soon?"
"..."
Zhou Ziqiang silently remained expressionless for a while before he finally spoke softly, "It's actually been quite a while."
"Really?"
Chen Yi looked at Zhou Ziqiang strangely, as he seemed to have only stepped out for a trip to the dessert shop and then for a smoke...
Never mind.
It was understandable.
A middle-aged man.
"Is it over?"
He looked up at Sword Without End.
"Yes, I personally took action."
Sword Without End nodded, clearly aware of what Chen Yi was asking.
"I couldn't bring myself to do it; her face resembled my wife's too closely."
Zhou Ziqiang touched his nose, standing in the rain with half of his body revealed, adding a comment.
"Hmm."
Chen Yi nodded without saying anything, just walked past the two of them under the black umbrella, and entered into the crudely erected marriage chamber.
Inside the marriage chamber, decorated mainly in red.
Yan Niang was lying on the bed in an ancient-style wedding dress, her expression calm, with a bright red mark on her fair neck.
It seemed like she had been given a respectful end.
He walked directly to Yan Niang, took out a dagger from his bosom and picked at her cheek a few times, confirming that she hadn't had a face swap or plastic surgery, and then took out a giant ax.
He lifted it high.
"Bang!!!"
After dozens of strikes.
Chen Yi casually threw the giant ax aside and reached out his bloodstained hands through the window to be washed by the rain before wiping them dry with a bedsheet.
Then he strode out of the room, heading toward Sword Without End and Zhou Ziqiang on the street nearby.
Leaving behind a room filled with flesh intermingled with wedding dress Fragments.
"Let's go, time for a team-building outing."
"All the brothers are there."
It wasn't that he didn't trust Sword Without End, but given Sword Without End's experiences, he was a bit worried he might go easy and let Yan Niang go.
After all, a man deeply in love can always give the impression of being impulsive in action.
...
The weather in hell is always strange.
For example, it was raining heavily over Kowloon City, yet there were no signs of rain on this patch of sand.
By now, the players who had been building the swimming pool had retired.
A swimming pool, not half the size of a football field but still a quarter of one, lay quietly in the middle of the sandy ground.
The sky above Kowloon City had darkened to night.
But here, the sky was still clear, without sunlight but still bathed in daylight.
"Yo-ho, you're here?"
Tuberculosis Rabbit, who was in beach shorts doing a breaststroke in the pool, poked his head out of the water, wiped off the water on his face, waved, and grinned, "I was wondering why someone was missing. Today's team building, come down and play together."
"Haven't you seen Jiaye going crazy on a motorcycle over there?"
Not far away.
Jiaye, dressed in denim shorts, was straddling a sand motorcycle, revving up excitedly on the unobstructed desert terrain, seemingly very happy.
She genuinely wanted to ride a desert motorcycle.
And just then—
Jiaye suddenly drove over from a distance, parked the motorcycle in front of Chen Yi, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
"Yi, can you ride the motorcycle for me?"
"I want to sit behind you."
"..."
Tuberculosis Rabbit, still in the pool, pushed his wet hair back and looked at Jiaye with a strange expression.
"Are you sure you want Yi to ride the motorcycle with you?"
