There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

"Ding, congratulations to player Chen Yi for perfectly playing the role of a wife murderer, with a perfect play rate of 96%, and successfully clearing the suspicion of wife killing."

"Map Evaluation": Through your exquisite acting and the logical traps you set, you successfully shifted the police's attention. You not only played your own role to perfection but even perfectly acted out the role of the victim.

You are a natural-born actor and criminal. Given enough time, I believe you have the capacity to create the perfect crime.

You utilized almost every usable point, and the only imperfection was that shortly after you left, the police discovered the body hidden in the water heater and immediately identified you as the sole suspect and issued a warrant for your arrest.

Although you have already left the map, your method of exoneration wasn't perfect; you did not manage the aftermath of your departure well.

"Map Reward": Because your role-playing perfection reached 96%, you have obtained the final reward of the map, the globally unique character action "July Flying Snow".

"Hidden Reward": For completing the hidden quest of the map, you have earned the exclusive limited title "Wife-Killing Maniac", as well as clean grey stone*2, 10,000 Points, and one B-grade random Prop Chest.

"ps: You have obtained the final reward of this map, you will no longer be able to enter this map again."

A flash of white light.

Chen Yi didn't return to the rooftop of the residential complex; instead, he arrived in a blank room where a series of scenes continuously scrolled across the large screen in the room.

There were scenes of the Law Enforcement Bureau discussing the case before departure, scenes of the evidence department collecting evidence, of interrogation police repeatedly watching his performance of the role switch.

Scenes of evidence technicians sealing the room and searching trace by trace with a UV light.

And scenes from about seven or eight days after he left, when the neighbors next door complained about a strong stench of decay emanating from the scene of the crime, prompting property management to check and discover a maggot-infested female corpse inside the water heater.

There were also scenes of the Law Enforcement Bureau fully mobilizing to start a city-wide manhunt for him.

However, all these events took place seven or eight days after his departure, fast-forwarded in his view, showing him, in the form of images, some of the information he couldn't see while in the map.

When all the scenes finished playing.

The room where he stood began to slowly shatter, and after everything settled back to tranquility, he found himself securely standing at the edge of the residential complex rooftop, while Tuberculosis Rabbit and the others were gathered around a bonfire they had lit on the ground.

The fierce wind had died down a little, but it was still strong.

Causing the flames of the bonfire to flutter continuously.

Also, the sound of Tuberculosis Rabbit and others chatting could be heard nearby.

"I'm telling you, Tie Chui bro, I know that every time Yi gives you a cigarette, you only take it and never smoke it because you can't bear to light it up."

"But think of it this way, what if you suddenly died, and right before dying you realized you never smoked any of the cigarettes Yi gave you, wouldn't that be an even bigger regret?"

"Think about it, don't I make sense?"

At the instant Chen Yi's silhouette reappeared on the spot.

The voice of Tuberculosis Rabbit came to an abrupt halt, and then he waved and called out loudly toward Yi's back with a laugh, "Yi, come on over, we're having grilled meat, the kind cooked over pure charcoal fire."

"Hmm?"

Chen Yi did not turn around but instead observed the sky for a moment before furrowing his brows slightly and walking over to Tuberculosis Rabbit, asking, "How long was I inside?"

"Probably a little over an hour."

He nodded slightly and sat on a small wooden stool by the fire reserved for him. He had spent around 30 hours inside the map, but only an hour had passed outside.

It seemed there was a discrepancy in the flow of time, a situation he had encountered before and had gotten used to.

Just that he felt a bit puzzled when he came out from the map and saw that there was not much change in the outside world's daylight.

Chen Yi sat on the wooden stool and took a skewer of grilled meat passed to him by Tuberculosis Rabbit, staring at the spices on the skewer, which emitted a fragrant aroma. He suddenly realized that he was not hungry at all.

He had barely eaten anything during his more than 30 hours in the map, only drinking some water, and had not slept.

Yet, when he emerged, he felt neither hunger nor fatigue.

As if he had just finished a meal and woken up from a good sleep.

He did not dwell on it but instead turned his head to look at what he had gained from the map this time.

First, there was the globally unique character action of July Flying Snow. He'd glanced at the special effects briefly; they looked good, the coverage range was extensive, and it was a lot more attractive than those store-bought character actions that cost 1,000 Points each. It was worthy of the "globally unique" prefix.

No wonder Sword Without End, despite the risk of losing his backpack props, had ventured into this map several times.

The globally unique character action must have been too alluring for Sword Without End, but he was currently in Hell, with no news from him yet.

When Sword Without End died, his chat panel with Chen Yi dimmed.

It seemed that players here couldn't communicate with those Hell Players.

He had no idea what the scene below might be like.

He wasn't worried about Sword Without End not being able to come back, as with Sword Without End's abilities, killing 10 ordinary players in the map shouldn't be too difficult.

As for the title he was awarded, its quality was quite good; it was red.

"Title Name": Wife-Killing Maniac.

"Title Quality": Red.

"Title Effect": The title effect seems to be obscured by some dust, perhaps using a 'clean grey stone' could clear the dust and reveal the title effect.

"Title Origin": "In the Life Theater C-grade map, complete the hidden quest to obtain."

Title Effect was obscured by dust again, but fortunately, this time the Map Reward included 2 clean grey stones. Together with the 2 clean grey stones Tuberculosis Rabbit gained from the last map, they now had a total of 4 clean grey stones.

Without hesitation, he took out a clean grey stone and smashed it onto the title.

Immediately, the true effects of the title revealed themselves before him.

"Title Effect": When you truly fall in love with a woman and kill her with your own hands, you will have a powerful buff effect where all props and skills have no cooldown and no cost for the following hour.

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

"..."

Chen Yi stood there with an expressionless face, silently pondering whether he had been too impulsive. Clean grey stones were precious, and it seemed a bit wasteful to use one on this title.

So far, the ways to obtain clean grey stones were scarce.

They were mostly gained by achieving hidden accomplishments or completing hidden quests in certain maps.

He still had several fully enhanced props that needed clean grey stones to unlock, and now, using one on this title, it turned out such a trashy effect.

Looking solely at the effect, it was definitely very powerful.

An hour without cooldowns or costs meant he could trigger the Septagon Badge infinitely, killing instantly!

No matter how strong or how many enemies there were.

Anyone who caught his eye would be killed in an instant, and just this effect alone could be considered underrated in red - it would be enough to warrant the effect being a rainbow or even black quality.

But the trigger condition was a bit too harsh.

Truly fall in love with a woman? How does one determine "truly"?

There's no specific criteria, and you also have to kill the woman you love by your own hand.

Such a prerequisite can only be described as a tasteless and cruel hobby.

Chen Yi shook his head, casually wore the title on his head, and ignored its effect. He didn't think he would ever get the chance to activate it.

First, he wasn't sure if he would truly fall in love with a woman. But even if he did find a woman he truly liked, his intention would be to protect her, not to kill her by his own hands.

Unless he went mad.

"Yo-hee."

Tuberculosis Rabbit, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground chatting with Tie Chui, suddenly noticed the new title above Yi's head and was momentarily stunned: "Is this the new title from the Map Reward, Wife-Killing Maniac... Looks like a pretty twisted title name there."

"Yi, did you get the final reward?"

"I did."

Chen Yi nodded, took out the pass in his hand, and placed it on the ground: "This pass can be used 4 more times, allowing for 4 more entries. See if you want to go in."

"As for the Map Difficulty, it mainly depends on acting performance."

"But I can use the Life Editor to guide you through a segment of the story. That way, when you enter again, you'll have a better idea of which direction to perform in."

"Jiaye, you should not enter. The identity played in this map is a man, only allowing male players to enter, so you can't go."

"And Tie Chui, think about whether you want to enter."

"No, no, no." Enjoy exclusive content from empire

Tie Chui, voraciously consuming meat, shook his head frantically at the mention, fear flickering in the depths of his eyes as he stuttered, "Don't want... don't want... I won't enter, thank you... Yi."

Sixty thousand times...

Sixty thousand times...

Who can understand what it means to have gone through the script with Tuberculosis Rabbit sixty thousand times on the rooftop? When he returned to reality, Tie Chui had even forgotten his own name.

And that was just a simple play.

If he were to enter the map Yi talked about, they'd probably have to rehearse at least two hundred thousand times.

Two hundred thousand times...

Just thinking about that number made Tie Chui shiver with fear, the terror in his eyes growing clearer. How could such a horrific form of torture exist in this world?

Seeing Tie Chui like this, Chen Yi didn't press further. After all, such maps that relied on acting weren't really suitable for Tie Chui, just as maps where props were ineffective, like Werewolf Kill, didn't suit him either.

Everyone has maps that aren't suitable for them.

If it weren't for a forced invitation, one would naturally select the map that suited them best.

"Then you go," Chen Yi said, pushing the pass to Tuberculosis Rabbit. He was about to advise him on something, when suddenly a prompt sounded in his ear.

"Ding, you have been forcefully invited by Hell Player Gao Yiming to enter the 'Reincarnation Map'."

"Ding, it has been detected that you own the 'Great Demon King' title."

"You can choose to decline this forceful invitation."
