There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

```

"This prop is pretty interesting, it's a pity that it's from the future. If we had this prop before, then anyone could have been an actor."

"Over seventy times?"

Chen Yi slightly raised his eyebrows, nodded thoughtfully without saying a word. In his eyes, Tuberculosis Rabbit, Tie Chui, and others all seemed to have performed fluently in one go.

But in reality, Tuberculosis Rabbit and Tie Chui had already rehearsed each expression and line countless times.

What eventually unfolded before him was a flawless performance.

He understood the use of this prop now.

It was powerful.

No matter whether a person had a natural talent for acting or not, as long as they were chosen by him to be actors, they would deliver a perfect performance, and it could even help them overcome certain physiological defects.

For instance, Tie Chui was born with cerebral palsy, but during the recent role-playing, there seemed to be no apparent symptoms of cerebral palsy. Instead, his eyes were incredibly sharp, and he spoke clearly and articulately.

"Yi... Yi."

Tie Chui stuttered, pointing towards the prop in Chen Yi's hand with a trembling hand, "Next time... don't invite me to be an actor, okay? It... made me reshoot 60,000 times, I... I almost couldn't make it out, thought I'd die in there."

"..."

Chen Yi stood in silence with an expressionless face. It seemed that overcoming physiological defects was not perfect, like making a cerebral palsy patient play a normal person. This would cause the patient to keep reshooting until the prop was satisfied.

Just like Tie Chui, who had reshot 60,000 times.

To the outside world, that seemed like just a few seconds had passed.

But for Tie Chui, it probably felt like half his life had gone by. Being able to remember his name after reshooting 60,000 times at least meant his name was deeply impressed in Tie Chui's memory.

This means that when designing a script for an actor, the script's persona needs to match as closely as possible to the actor themselves.

If a mute was given a script to participate in and win a stand-up comedy show, would they have to reshoot countless times, and if they can't ever satisfy the prop, they'd be trapped forever?

In this light, the prop seems to only serve as an entertainment prop indeed. There's no use in combat situations since no enemy would accept such a bizarre invitation.

If you want to play role-playing games in the middle of the night, this prop could serve a different purpose.

The prop ensures that the performance it produces is perfect.

If you want, this prop could give your wife 108 different personalities ranging from aloof to mature ladylike to innocent to cute.

Hmm... that's quite creepy when you think about it.

Chen Yi cast this thought aside and tucked the Life Editor prop into his pocket without dwelling on it any longer. He was planning to check out the Life Theater map in a few days since the rewards for this map were substantial, and it seemed a waste that no one was claiming them.

He continued to browse the Emotion Shop.

The Emotion Shop had many props that were very cheap, for example—

'Prop Name': Bunny Hair Clip.

'Prop Level': E-grade.

'Prop Effect': This is a hair clip that will never fall off. Once used, it will always hold your hair in place.

'Prop Introduction': "A cute and adorable hair clip."

'Prop Price': 3 Sadness Points.

-

'Prop Name': Intra-Cranial VR Imaging.

'Prop Level': E-grade.

'Prop Effect': You can imagine any scene in your mind and then experience it as if you were right there.

'Prop Introduction': "Try not to use this prop when the June rule is in effect."

'Prop Price': 10 Sadness Points.

-

'Prop Name': Blunt-Edge Nail Clipper.

'Prop Level': E-grade.

'Prop Effect': A nail clipper that won't cut your flesh even if you deliberately target it.

'Prop Introduction': "Don't you know what it means when I clip your nails before bed? You blockhead!" — a girl complained somewhat resentfully.

'Prop Price': 5 Sadness Points.

-

There were many such trinkets in the Emotion Shop that could be exchanged for just a dozen or even single digits of Sadness Points, and many players could afford them.

If every prop was priced starting in the tens of thousands,

then this Father's Day limited event would have completely lost its meaning for casual players.

And these small props, Chen Yi bought dozens of each without hesitation since they were inexpensive. Some he gave to Tuberculosis Rabbit for collection, and you never know when they might come in handy one day.

Like that nail clipper that will never cut your flesh, that's really useful.

No more worrying about accidentally cutting yourself and bleeding while clipping your nails.

His main focus was on those pricey props.

'Prop Name': Flowers of the Other Shore Bloom.

'Prop Level': B-grade.

'Prop Effect': Once you activate this prop, over three thousand Flowers of the Other Shore will rise up from the ground surrounding you, float in the air, and any player touched by these flowers will rapidly lose health and upon death be turned into one of the Floral People for eternity.

```

```

"Prop Restriction": After one use, it will enter a 24h cooldown period.

"Prop Introduction": "When the Flowers of the Other Shore Bloom, a massacre descends upon the mortal realm."

"Prop Price": 300,000 Sadness Points.

An extremely expensive area-of-effect B-class prop, costing a full 300,000 Sadness Points, and he indeed lacked some area-of-effect methods.

Without hesitation, he immediately pocketed the prop, thus compensating for the lack of area-of-effect capabilities.

"Prop Name": Forever Pure.

"Prop Level": B-class. Explore more at empire

"Prop Effects": After activating this prop, all negative effects on you will be removed, including but not limited to bleeding, deafness, blindness, injuries, near death, weakness, etc., and also when you are unconscious, comatose, or in any other state where you cannot activate the prop yourself.

The prop will first ask the player three times, and if no response is received and 30 seconds have passed, the prop will automatically activate.

"Prop Restriction": Number of uses (3/3).

"Prop Introduction": "I hope you remain forever pure, even if purity means being purely filthy. I can accept darkness, I can accept light, but what I despise the most is a mix of the two, it is utterly loathsome."

"Prop Price": 300,000 Sadness Points.

With the same price of 300,000 Sadness Points, the price is incredibly high. There are only a few B-class props in the Emotion Shop, with starting prices all at 300,000 Sadness Points. As for the other more expensive B-class props, although their effects are strong, none are more suitable for him than these two.

After some consideration, he still took both B-class props into his possession.

One defensive prop, one area-of-effect prop.

It greatly made up for his shortcomings.

The remaining tens of thousands of Sadness Points were also quickly spent, buying some suitable props for Tuberculosis Rabbit, Jiaye, Tie Chui, and others, with a total of over 700,000 Sadness Points spent in just over ten minutes.

It seems they really weren't that hard to spend.

Beyond these items, he also purchased some trinkets, like this sticker.

"Prop Name": Sticker^*TeamHai (Shiny)^*June Limited Edition Crowned Skull.

"Prop Level": E-class.

"Prop Effect": You can stick it on your prop, giving it a unique appearance.

"Prop Introduction": "There are many things in this world worth paying for."

"Prop Price": 10 Sadness Points.

For 10 Sadness Points you can buy a shiny sticker, with a maximum of four stickers on a single prop, without giving the prop any Special Effects.

The only effect is that when sunlight shines on the sticker, it will make the sticker glow, which does indeed look quite attractive.

It does look quite nice.

He bought a bunch of them to play with.

For example, he stuck four of these June-limited shiny skull stickers on the back of his sleigh, which indeed looked pretty good, a small trinket he brought back for fun.

These kinds of trinkets, available both in the Emotion Shop and Points shop, are things that don't improve one's strength but are pure wastes of money.

Generally speaking.

Nobody would buy these.

Except for someone like Chen Yi who isn't short on Points. After all, they are not expensive, and buying them for fun is not a bad idea.

"Thanks, Yi," Jiaye said, her eyes brimming with joy as she stuffed the prop Chen Yi gave her into her backpack. It was the first time Yi had formally given her a gift, and it counted as one.

Once he had settled everything.

Chen Yi turned his head towards Tuberculosis Rabbit, "What do you say, should we check out the single-player map from Sword Without End that was given to us for the Life Theater?"

He had kept that Map Access Pass in his backpack for a long time and planned to visit the map today. Although the Father's Day limited-time event wasn't over, the remaining events had little to do with them.

"Okay," Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded but then hesitated, "But if I remember correctly, the Map Access Pass given by Sword Without End is for a single-player map, right?"

"Seems like it. I'll go in first to check it out, to see what the situation is like inside."

Without further delay, Chen Yi activated the Map Access Pass in his hand. Then everything turned white, and a notification sounded in his ear.

"Ding, you have activated the Life Theater Pass and are entering the 'Life Theater' map."

"Please note, this map is a C-class single-player map with a high level of danger. Players, please be prepared."

"In the next five minutes, you will have time to listen to the rules of the map. Remembering the rules of the map can maximize your chances of staying safe."

"Rule One:..."

Chen Yi glanced around, raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

A C-class map?

The highest difficulty map he had tried before was just a C-class map.

If he remembered correctly, the reward for this map was some kind of character action?

This was his first time in a single-player C-class map, which was somewhat interesting.
