There is One New Rule Every Month Globally-Chapter 543 - 366: Pandora’s Box.

The white ring of light took less than a few minutes to envelop Blue Star completely.

And if someone could look down at Blue Star from high above at this moment, they would discover that Blue Star had been frozen in place like a two-dimensional picture, appearing as if it were a photograph.

Whether it be the surging waves of the sea or the hunting eagles soaring with outstretched wings.

Or a volcano erupting somewhere, as well as lightning frozen mid-air in a thunderstorm.

Everything had been frozen.

It looked incredibly eerie.

There were no living creatures wandering about on Blue Star.

But... in places unknown to all, some of the mountain ranges on Blue Star, the wilderness outside the cities, the hills, and so on, began to slowly creep and shift, and suddenly, a little house would emerge from the deserted landscape outside a city.

It was unclear what for.

Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.

On the edge of a cliff, a statue might suddenly appear out of nowhere.

And in some cities, in places unknown to many, a peach blossom tree might suddenly appear.

Each had its own peculiarity.

Each had its own bizarreness.

The whole world was undergoing these silent changes, looking extraordinarily odd.

...

It was unclear how much time had passed.

Chen Yi, holding Jiaye and standing in place, slowly regained consciousness and instinctively reached to check his own behind first. Seeing that his trousers showed no signs of being pulled down and that he felt no pain at all, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then, immediately afterward, he checked Jiaye and found everything was normal, with nothing amiss.

He could not accept Jiaye being violated, but compared to Jiaye being violated, he found the thought of himself being violated even less bearable, even if... wait, he couldn't accept Jiaye being violated either!

Fuck!

Why the hell were these two things even being compared?

Was there something wrong with his brain?

Could it be that the recent downtime update had injected something dumb into his brain?

Chen Yi shook his head vigorously, casting away the messy thoughts from his mind, before immediately looking at the time on his personal panel.

"November 1st, 00:06."

"Hmm?"

He frowned slightly, puzzled and not uttering a word.

He had no concept of how long the downtime update had lasted. The moment it happened, his consciousness vanished instantly—it felt like having a general anesthesia done, his eyes closed, and then, when they opened, it was over.

But the time displayed here indicated that it had barely been a few seconds.

Could it be that the downtime update only took a few seconds?

Chen Yi carefully observed his surroundings and then looked at his own hands, feeling as if nothing had changed from before. What exactly was this downtime update for?

"Is that it?"

Tuberculosis Rabbit seemed puzzled as she scanned her surroundings, "This place looks exactly the same as before. What exactly did this downtime update do? Why is there not even an announcement?"

"Isn't there one?"

Sword Without End glanced at the November version update notice in front of him and smirked, "Isn't it right here? They fixed some bugs, added the Beast Chess gameplay, and then there are two new November rules: no smoking and no saying thank you."

"Those things don't need a downtime update, do they? Weren't updates like this always done without shuttering the service before? Such a big fuss, I thought there would be something different this time."

Tuberculosis Rabbit looked to Yi, as if waiting for Chen Yi to provide a reasonable explanation.

"Don't look at me."

Chen Yi shook his head calmly, "I just used 'Requesting the Mandate of Heaven' to contact the team; the Snow Sea Project Team over there said they also didn't know what was going on, only that this downtime update was of the highest authority in the game."

"Speculation is, it might have been triggered by a certain planet successfully upgrading to Tier 10, causing some special events to happen."

"As for why it appeared on our Blue Star, that's unknown."

"Whether the pros outweigh the cons, or vice versa, is completely unclear; we'll have to see how it develops."

Just at this moment—

Suddenly, a series of exceedingly noisy sounds reached the ears of Chen Yi and the others.

"What's that? Has it always been there?"

"Definitely not, this is which place, this is a beach, how can someone build a house on such sandy ground!"

"Absolutely not, I've been here for about seven or eight days, and I've never seen this house before."

"..."

The voices of a heated debate rose from not far away, and looking towards the source of the sound, they saw about a dozen players gathered in front of a low house, discussing something with one another.

"Hmm?"

Chen Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned and walked towards the group: "Let's go, take a look."

...

Accompanied by Chen Yi and his party, they arrived in front of the low house.

The players who had been surrounding the house quickly scattered, knowing their place, speaking in hushed, respectful tones, yet on closer inspection, one could see the confusion in their eyes, evidently not understanding the strange feeling in their hearts.

This was the charm of the "Playboy" profession.

Used correctly, ascending to the heavens in one step was no issue.

In Blue Star, almost all players recognized Chen Yi, and even if there were a few who were truly reclusive and indifferent to worldly affairs, not knowing Chen Yi, the series of titles above his head was nevertheless recognizable.

It was indeed quite eye-catching.

Anyone who wasn't a fool knew that this person in front of them could not be pushed aside.

Leaning on his cane, Chen Yi stood in front of the house, scrutinizing it closely, coming away with one impression – ordinary! Extremely ordinary!

It was just an average, low house with a floor area of about forty square meters.

Built with bricks.

The only peculiar feature was it had no windows, and... and that door was conspicuously made of solid copper, and it gave him an extremely familiar feeling; wasn't this precisely the copper door to the tomb he had seen at the bottom of the deep sea?

"..."

Chen Yi's expression gradually turned solemn; he had an ominous premonition, feeling as if by opening this door, it would be like opening Pandora's box.

Immediately, some dangerous creature would be released.

"Eh?"

Tuberculosis Rabbit, standing to the side, looked thoughtfully at the house: "It does seem like it, this house definitely wasn't here before."

"It's just..."

Tuberculosis Rabbit paused for a moment, peering carefully at where the house met the beach: "It's just that, I don't know why, the appearance of this house here gives a very harmonious feeling, as though it was always meant to be here."

"It doesn't immediately strike one that there's an extra house here; this house must be part of the content from the recent server update."

After being silent for a while, Chen Yi said no more words but slowly walked up to the copper door of the house, placing his palm lightly on it and giving a push. The door, as well, bore thick traces of decay.

As if it had been soaked in seawater for many years.

He had been prepared for the copper door to disintegrate instantly, just like the one at the bottom of the deep sea, but oddly, that did not happen.

A light push conveyed instead a feeling of substantial heft, signifying the extreme weight of the copper door.

"Hmm?"

Chen Yi's eyebrows raised slightly in surprise, then he steadily increased his strength, and finally...the copper door that had not been opened for who knows how long gave a creaking sound.

"Boom!"

Following a somewhat deafening noise, the somewhat heavy copper door finally swing open, and Chen Yi instinctively covered his nose and mouth, but contrary to expectation, no long-sealed gases wafted out.

The air was, on the contrary, exceedingly fresh, fresh to the point of being like concentrated oxygen.

And the scene inside the house made all the present players' pupils contract sharply, their mouths gradually widening in disbelief as they murmured.

"Fuck..."
