Chapter 228: Chapter 220: “Planning to use Chen Yi to get rid of your relative?
Answering two consecutive questions incorrectly, the couple's score plummeted to the bottom.
Fortunately, they weren't participating in this couple's map for the rewards; considering the punishment wasn't severe, they treated it as a fun experience.
This type of couple's map is considered to have the lowest danger coefficient among the game's maps.
Not to mention the Sands of Time Dried Corpse map near Yancheng, even an E-grade map was more difficult than this couple's map.
The first level passed quickly.
The couple only answered three questions correctly.
It seemed that neither of them knew much about the other, especially Chen Yi, who couldn't imagine how Jiaye, a seemingly frail girl, could have killed someone before the revelation of the game.
It was incomprehensible.
The second and third levels.
The couple's map ended swiftly.
“Ding, congratulations to the two of you for securing fourth place in the Three-Star Couple's map of Truth or Dare Adventure, rewarded with 10 Couple Points and 1 Point.”
The reward was meager, to say the least.
He had been in this game for a full four months now.
It was his first time seeing a reward of 1 Point.
…
Above the palace.
Chen Yi lay back on the rooftop, calmly gazing at the dense and brilliant starry sky, which twinkled as if wrapped in a silvery veil over the night.
As for Jiaye, she rested her head on Chen Yi's stomach, her expression somewhat dazed as she murmured softly.
“That was a long time ago.”
“I told you, Yi, that my brother and I set up a fish shop, but that was later on; before that, we made do through various means.”
“But we never did anything unscrupulous.”
“It was just that a vagrant had been harassing us for a while; not just me, but also my brother. He would follow us and throw stones, laughing loudly at us.”
“The vagrant was filthy, with tattered clothes and an abnormal mental state.”
“Tie Chui wanted to beat him up, but I stopped my brother because I didn't want things to escalate.”
“So, for a year, that vagrant continued to follow and harass us.”
“Until one time, we had the chance to rent a space in a seafood market and pay later, presenting us with an opportunity to start a small business—an opportunity for my brother to turn our lives around.”
“But… to enter the seafood market, we needed proof of identity, and neither my brother nor I had such documents. I wasn't sure if we could get them in time. But it was definitely too late; we had only three days to move in, or the market management would find someone else.”
Jiaye suddenly hesitated as if holding something back, then after a pause, she continued quietly, “Every chick stands on its own, as the saying goes, rough as it might be, it's true in many situations.”
“My brother and I got fake IDs. The seafood market only registered them and didn't check for authenticity, so we moved in smoothly.”
“However, that vagrant somehow got wind of this.”
“He kept following us, screaming arrogantly and jumping around: ‘Fake IDs, they got fake IDs!'”
“Yi, you know.”
“Moving into that seafood market represented the first chance at a new life for my brother and me after so many years.”
“When someone stands in the way of your chance at a new life, perhaps anyone would take drastic measures.”
“My brother and I killed the vagrant.”
“We tied the body with stones and threw it into the river.”
“Then, coincidentally, it rained heavily for three days, the river rose, and until today, the body's whereabouts are unknown.”
“What about you, Yi?”
“Me?”
Chen Yi lay on the roof, arms propped behind him, looking up at the twinkling stars overhead, silent and not speaking.
After a while, he finally said softly.
“I've forgotten.”
“Impossible. Something like this would certainly leave a deep impression; how could you forget?”
“I truly have forgotten.”
“Alright then.”
Jiaye seemed slightly unsatisfied with the answer, pursed her lips, and said nothing, expressing her discontent.
And at that moment—
“Yi, Yi!?”
A voice from within the palace echoed like the howl of a Tuberculosis Rabbit.
“Hmm?”
Chen Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, shifted Jiaye's head from his stomach, got up, and walked towards the lower part of the palace: “Let's go, Tuberculosis Rabbit and the others are back.”
…
“Yi!”
Seeing Chen Yi coming from outside the palace, Tuberculosis Rabbit couldn't contain his excitement and blurted out, “Let me tell you, Tie Chui is unbelievably strong in the map!”
“It's outrageous, he's knocking out Little Carlas with a single punch!”
Chen Yi stood still, turned his head to look at Tie Chui beside him, and nodded with a light laugh: “Good work.”
Tie Chui didn't say anything but stood there, eyes fixed on Chen Yi as if waiting for something.
“Here.”
Chen Yi also timely took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Tie Chui.
“Hehe.”
A simple smile spread across Tie Chui's face, and he received the cigarette with joy, placing it into his cherished metal box.
July was soon coming to an end.
The rules of July were also ending, and the timeline was swiftly approaching August 1.
According to what they said in the live broadcast room, it meant their Novice Period was about to officially pass the four-month mark.
There were no special limited events throughout the whole month of July.
It seems that less famous holidays weren't necessary to celebrate with events in the eyes of the game's developers.
But there was one thing that puzzled me.
Since each planet's culture is different, naturally, their holidays would be different too. So how are holiday events held on other planets?
Are specific holiday events designed according to the different holidays on each planet?
…
Meanwhile, in the outside world.
After a coalition of multiple forces, Chen Yi's battle footage in the live streaming room was forcefully blocked, not a bit of it leaked out.
Aside from the audience present in the livestream at the time, barely anyone outside knew about this incident.
The Third Star System, comprising 38 planets.
It's huge.
How many people were there in the livestream that day? Many were Blue Star players. Even though entry to the livestream was free, not every player received a notification, nor did every player who received a notification choose to join the livestream.
Compared to all the players in the Third Star System, those in the livestream room were just a drop in the river.
The coalition of forces quickly identified the audience in the livestream that day and went through the process of interviewing and warning each, and to this day, no news has leaked to the outside world.
In a virtual conference hall at the moment.
Dozens of people were sitting together as if they were in some kind of meeting.
There was even a banner hanging in the background, looking like the theme of the meeting.
“Expel the Wolf, Swallow the Tiger!”
The middle-aged man sitting in the leading position began with a serious expression, “According to our statistics, on that day in the Third Star System, twelve planets did not enter the livestream.”
“Meaning these twelve planets have no idea about this incident.”
“All we need to do next is make a few small moves. When Chen Yi leaves the Novice Planet, we can have someone from these twelve planets provoke or insult him.”
“In short, use various methods to enrage Chen Yi, prompting him to annihilate one or two more planets. Then a planet's wealth will become available, and at that time, we can join together with Chen Yi and take a share, can't we?”
“For example, when Chen Yi takes action, we can also send people, under the guise of supporting Chen Yi. Even if Chen Yi wanted to attack us, he wouldn't have much of a reason, as we would ostensibly be his reinforcements.”
“That way, picking up some props afterwards would be reasonable, right?”
The others in the meeting room had no objections and nodded, each offering what they thought were reasonable suggestions. The topic had already been agreed upon by everyone; this time was merely to discuss the specific details.
Originally, no one had thought of these things.
But… the sudden extinction of the God Race on Black Eagle Star shocked everyone.
And the immense wealth on Black Eagle Star quickened everyone's breathing.
Only then did people realize that being a bandit was much more thrilling than laboriously exploring maps.
Once was not enough; they wanted more.
“…”
The leader of the Black Dragon Guild, sitting on the side of the meeting room, kept a grim face and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
After Chen Yi annihilated Black Eagle Star, none of those present dared to step foot on it to collect the ownerless wealth, as timid as cowering dogs, acting as if they couldn't see the riches beside them.
Fearing Chen Yi would come out of Blue Star to settle scores with them.
But when the Black Dragon Guild struck a deal with Chen Yi and sent people to collect the wealth, these same people popped up like hungry wolves smelling meat, rushing over in a group.
Their rationale was very simple.
The wealth was originally Chen Yi's, and they didn't dare to touch it.
But now that the wealth belonged to the Black Dragon Guild, how did they think the Guild's strength measured up?
It was nothing but damn robber's logic!
But it had to be said, it was a perfect logic!
And so, the wealth on Black Eagle Star was split among multiple forces, and the Black Dragon Guild only managed to acquire one twenty-seventh of it.
But even that small share of wealth was enough to make all the forces greedy.
Clearly, the process of amassing a fortune without paying much of a price had become somewhat addictive and intoxicating for everyone.
At that moment—
Li Peiqi, sitting beside the Black Dragon Guild's leader, was restless and anxious throughout, and immediately after the meeting ended, he dragged the Guild leader into a separate small room.
With a somewhat panic-stricken urgency, he exclaimed, “My lord Guild leader…!!”
“I find that you all dare to scheme against anyone. That's Chen Yi we're talking about, did you not see what happened that day?”
“Three billion Bleeding Hearts, smashing down like a blizzard!”
“Countless bullets ricocheting everywhere in the air, each one with the effect of Annihilate Nine Clans. To make an enemy of someone like that, Guild leader, do you have some issue with your relatives?”
“Are you using Chen Yi's hand to rid yourself of your relations?”
