Day broke.
A new month had arrived.
Chen Yi, who had slept soundly last night, walked sprightly to the rooftop. As he gazed into the distance and stretched with a long yawn, another new day began.
It had to be said.
The new rules of December really suited him.
What a "Do As One Pleases."
Immortality.
As long as he wished, his Wife-Killing Buff could be renewed indefinitely. And under the buff of immortality last night, he felt refreshed for the first time, no longer needing to restrain himself.
Following that—
he saw that he had many unread messages last night.
He scanned through them quickly.
And understood what had happened.
On Awesome Starfield, a planet had paid him several hundred million Points as a protection fee—no, that's not quite right—it had spent several hundred million Points on a rare and precious porcelain VCR, and now that planet had drawn the ire of a player from Sixfold Planet.
Via Li Yi's relay.
