Chapter 16: "My name is Tuberculosis Rabbit, you can call me Tu, or you can call me Tu'er.

"Yi, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing Chen Yi furrow his brows, Tuberculosis Rabbit asked out of curiosity, "Is it that troublesome?"

"Yeah."

After pondering for a while, Chen Yi finally spoke, "This 520 limited-time gift package for 88 Points is currently the only way to get Props, and it even comes with five Skill Fragments."

"It could be said to be a very cost-effective package."

"We also have nearly 10,000 Points on hand. If we were to broadly buy up other people's purchase rights, subtracting the handling fees, we could still get about a hundred packages for free."

"Then what's the hesitation for?"

Tuberculosis Rabbit's eyes sparkled with excitement, "Such a good deal, go ahead and buy it."

"That's exactly where the problem is."

Chen Yi shook his head, sighed in resignation, and continued, "Haven't you noticed that all the things that have happened so far are too similar to those in a domestic web game?"

"Whether it's this title with a special effect that you simply can't turn off."

"Or the familiar feeling of a 520 limited-time event, or even the exaggerated damage numbers above the boss's head."

"They all look exactly like a domestic web game."

"And there's a particularly bad thing about domestic web games: right before they release a very special offer, game planners will often come up with an event that is better than the usual offers."

"They use this event to deplete all the Points players have saved up."

"Then, when the special offer comes around, if the players want the event rewards, their only option is to top-up again."

"That's true."

Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded in agreement, "But it never tricked me. When I used to play games, I was like the Pixiu, always hoarding stuff in my backpack, never spending or using anything."

"According to your guess, Yi, is there going to be a more favorable event with the June 1st update, and our current move should be to save up Points?"

"Yeah."

Chen Yi brushed the dust off his clothes and then added, "That's what I'm thinking, but it's really hard to let go of this event... let's just buy ten."

"Go for a ten-draw."

"And the remaining Points will definitely not be spent, we'll save them all for the June 1st update."

"Oh."

Tuberculosis Rabbit tucked the Claw Knife into his chest and muttered as he got up and followed behind Yi, "This conversation sounds eerily familiar."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, nothing. Let's go, Yi."

...

Walking on the street from the basement, Chen Yi looked at the noisy crowd on the street and stood there without saying a word, expressionless.

The situation outside was pretty much as he had expected.

After Cupid died, his body turned into white light and disappeared, leaving no corpse behind.

I heard that some Props were dropped.

They were taken by the officials.

During the entire boss raid, only a very few people were injured. Medical staff came and applied simple dressings before leaving, as there weren't enough hospital beds.

But several hearses from the crematorium did show up.

If anyone was even slightly touched by Cupid's bowstring, there was no such concept as 'injured' for them; they could just be buried on the spot.

At this moment, those who had just fought in the battle were trembling uncontrollably in their legs, yet their faces were flush with excitement and pride as they loudly shared the process of the fight with those around them.

Enjoying the worshipful gazes from the people.

No one knew for sure what drove these folks to rush into battle fearlessly against the boss.

But from the violent trembling of their legs, it was clear that their adrenaline was still surging, and they were probably feeling some aftershock.

The entire street was bustling.

Many who had hidden in their houses came out to find out what had happened.

Of course, it was originally very lively.

But when Chen Yi came out, everything completely changed.

The street suddenly quieted down in a few seconds, and then everyone's gaze turned uniformly towards Chen Yi, or more precisely, towards the title above Chen Yi's head!

Blue and glowing words in the night.

Like a firefly with a face full of stubble, it was startlingly conspicuous!!!

Everyone on the street slowly opened their mouths, looking at Chen Yi with expressions of shock.

"What… what is this?"

Clutching a dagger, Han Yu, who was surrounded by his family, looked enviously at the title above Chen Yi's head, silently clenched his fist, and whispered, "One day, I will get that title too."

Han Yu was the one who had ranked second in the recent damage rankings.

The dagger in his hand possessed the ability to inflict limitless bleeding damage.

"Don't talk nonsense."

A quite charming middle-aged woman standing behind Han Yu tapped his head with a hint of anxiety, "I just want you safe; from now on, don't do such risky things."

"Mom."

Han Yu, somewhat dissatisfied, pushed the woman's hand away and retorted while standing tall, "Ever heard the saying? Those who don't dare to sit at the gambling table will never lose, but also will never win!"

"The world's structure is clearly about to change, starting from today, I have to take a seat at the gambling table for this family!"

"I want to keep winning."

"And didn't I just win? I got the second spot on the leaderboard and received a lot of rewards."

"It's just—"

He looked enviously at Chen Yi, "It's just that I didn't land the final blow and didn't get that title, that's all."

"You child."

The woman, with a slightly anxious expression, said, "No one can keep winning forever, your father is just..."

"Alright."

The man behind her, with a calm expression, interrupted her saying, placing his hand on Han Yu's shoulder, "You're quite right, the structure of the world is about to change."

"From today on, your dad and you will sit at the gambling table together."

"Never mind your mom, what would a woman understand? We still don't know how things will turn out later."

"If we don't become stronger now, we might face unthinkable hardships later."

"You guys..."

The woman was slightly angry but didn't want to show it in front of her child, so she just turned her head away to show her displeasure.

She wasn't oblivious to these things.

She just didn't want her family to die; after all, several people had just died.

...

Chen Yi let out a soft sigh, didn't say much, and started to direct the Tuberculosis Rabbit to find people willing to sell their time-limited gift pack rights.

It must be said.

The Tuberculosis Rabbit might not be a good salesman, but it was definitely a good, annoying salesman.

You could see the Tuberculosis Rabbit bursting into the midst of several people with a face filled with excitement, and words shot out of its mouth like rapid-fire.

"Let's start with a simple introduction."

"My name is Tuberculosis Rabbit, you can call me Tu, or you can call me Tu'er."

"Have you bought that time-limited gift pack for 88 Points?"

"If you haven't, could you transfer the gift pack rights to us?"

"As a reward, I'll give you some compensation, um... how about 3 Points?"

"Too low? Then how about 5 Points?"
