Chapter 277: Chapter 256: “A monster appears in Star System 3, we can’t stay long.

“…”

As Chen Yi exhaled a puff of smoke, the entire Wasteland fell into silence, and the live stream room followed suit.

Everyone had entered the live stream to see how Solar Star would clear the twofold trial and to glean some experience, but instead, they witnessed Chen Yi exterminate another clan.

“This is Blue Star’s way of doing things.”

This statement echoed in the ears of hundreds of billions of players in Star System 3.

It was simple, brutal, and deeply shocking.

“It really seems… it really seems a bit irrational. Won’t this just expand the scope of retaliation and needlessly make enemies?”

Finally, a player in the live stream room couldn’t help but speak up and ask.

“Heh.”

Seeing this, King Gou from Number Nine Star couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth and said in a low voice, “What enemies are left? Forget nine clans; you’ve wiped out an entire planet, where could any enemy be?”

“Expanding the scope of retaliation, all it does is needlessly make enemies.”

“But as long as the scope is wide enough, there’s no such thing as making enemies anymore.”

“Just like now, do you think anyone from Solar Star could still be out seeking revenge?”

At that moment, the system’s notification voice rang in the ears of all players in Star System 3.

“Ding, entire Star System 3 announcement!”

“The following planets are included in this announcement: Blue Star, Neutron Star, Shaved Head Star, Walker Star, Bamboo Shoot Star… a total of 38 planets.”

“Server changes detected… re-announcing, a total of 37 planets included in this announcement, Black Eagle Star removed.”

“The Solar Clan of Solar Star suffered a bitter defeat in the twofold trial. With an excessive number of player deaths, it has been declared as exterminated and is permanently out of the race for advancement.”

“Let us congratulate Blue Star player Chen Yi for once again achieving a special supreme achievement of Star System 3—’One Man Exterminates a Clan!'”

“And a reward of one A-grade random Prop Chest and 500,000 Points.”

An announcement of extermination identical to the previous one echoed through the star system.

Among them, Black Eagle Star, which was the God Race that had been exterminated last time, was excluded from this announcement. Presumably, if there were to be another star system-wide announcement next time, Solar Star would also be removed.

“…”

Chen Yi, sitting in his chair, looked at the star system announcement in front of him, his mouth beginning to twitch uncontrollably, feeling somewhat numb in the scalp.

He seemed to have forgotten something very important.

After exterminating the God Race last time, he was rewarded with an A-grade random Prop Chest, but since he was preoccupied with picking up Jiaye from hell, he had forgotten about it.

He always thought he didn’t have an A-grade Prop Chest, but seeing this star system announcement, he began to wonder; if he was rewarded with an A-grade random Prop Chest for this extermination, shouldn’t he have had one last time too?

Checking his backpack meticulously.

There was indeed an A-grade random Prop Chest in the corner, which he had always pushed to the bottom of his bag and utterly forgotten about.

It must be said, his memory had been somewhat poor lately.

He had been looking for ways to acquire an A-grade prop, yet he had been unknowingly carrying an A-grade random Prop Chest in his backpack all this time.

Now with the addition of another one from this extermination, he had a total of two A-grade Prop Chests.

Fortunately for him, even though he had forgotten about this detail, it hadn’t affected him much. He could just open them later.

“Ding, the twofold trial is officially over. Player Chen Yi will exit the map in 10 seconds.”

A voice only he could hear gently chimed by Chen Yi’s side.

At the sound.

Chen Yi slowly rose to his feet; the palace chair beneath him dissolved into air and vanished as he floated in midair, gazing tranquilly into the horizon, silent without speaking.

The man appeared to be a thoughtful philosopher, full of contemplation.

A few seconds later.

He sighed quietly.

Then, in an instant, he transformed into countless rose petals that drifted with the wind and scattered in the air.

A standard character action, which when used during an exit, had a nice effect.

It was just a pity about those props scattered thickly across the Wasteland, not a single one of which he could collect, even though this method allowed him to smuggle himself away from Blue Star.

But—

Players within their Newbie Protection Period couldn’t acquire any props from outside Blue Star by any means.

This rule had a very high priority.

It couldn’t be circumvented or exempted by any means, so even though he saw countless props covering the wilderness, he could only watch helplessly without any way to take them into his possession.

Truly a pity.

The live stream hadn’t closed yet.

But everything was over.

The twofold trial was over. Solar Star was no more, Chen Yi had left.

The live stream room was empty, only the Wasteland smeared with strawberry jam stood static like a still image within the room.

…

“Brother!”

Looking like he was barely clinging to life, President Sun immediately knelt before Chairman Li of the Black Dragon Guild, banging his head on the ground with force, his voice trembling and face pale with panic as he said,

“There’s no need for excess words. I’m deeply grateful to Brother for saving every member of the Sun Family Guild, including all players on Neutron Star.”

“I was blinded by short-term interests.”

“Chairman Li, you saw further ahead. But how did you guess Chen Yi would appear in the twofold trial on Solar Star?”

“It’s a guess.”

Chairman Li also had a complex expression as he gazed at the live broadcast on the screen. “When Chen Yi left Sky Demon Star last time, didn’t he almost clearly say he would appear in the twofold trial on Solar Star?”

“It’s just that the matter was so bizarre, not many people believed it.”

“But I didn’t expect that Chen Yi’s strength would have increased again, it’s just… Chen Yi will probably be in danger in the future.”

“Oh?”

Rising from the ground and sitting on the chair, President Sun drank the cool tea on the table in one gulp, let out a long breath of cold sweat, and then questioned with full conviction.

“Impossible. With strength like his, who would dare to make a move against him?”

“No, to be precise, who would even dare to entertain the thought?”

After today’s live broadcast.

He had become an unthinking fan of Chen Yi, and did not believe that any player could pose a threat to Chen Yi, even if all members of the Sun Family Guild were to attack him, it would be in vain.

After all, Chen Yi just faced Solar Star in its full state.

That was quite a bit stronger than his Sun Family Guild.

“No!”

Chairman Li sighed lightly and shook his head uneasily, “If Chen Yi’s last move only made some people ponder, then this time his move almost confirmed these people’s inner speculations.”

“Chen Yi’s main strength comes from a prop that can make skills or props have no cooldown for a certain amount of time.”

“Like that sky-full of attacks, they were just the effects of a few props being activated, only activated in greater quantities.”

“When Qiu Hao used an entire clan’s Invincible Time prop, Chen Yi could only evade.”

“Although Chen Yi’s position was found in the end, due to the lack of time, they could only announce the extinction of their clan in resentment.”

“If… If Solar Star had anticipated the live broadcast of this twofold trial and prepared a large number of props to detect Chen Yi’s position in advance, there would not be no chance to kill Chen Yi here within thirty seconds of Invincible Time.”

“The reason why Solar Star was exterminated this time was largely because they were caught off guard and unprepared.”

“While Chen Yi showed his absolute strength, he also exposed his weakness, which is that his own defense is not absolutely invincible.”

“As long as it’s not absolutely invincible, there’s a possibility of being killed.”

“Chen Yi is in the light, while the enemy is in the dark; the enemy can devise a detailed plan of attack based on Chen Yi’s three public performances, but Chen Yi knows nothing about the hidden enemy.”

“When someone makes a move against Chen Yi next time, it will definitely pose a threat of death to Chen Yi, or even lead to his execution.”

“…”

After silently being expressionless for a while, President Sun said, “Chairman Li, are you suggesting that someone else might target Chen Yi?”

“It’s not a possibility, it’s a certainty.”

“He’s already exterminated two clans, and Chen Yi alone has cleared 20% of Sky Demon Star. Even so, there are still people who are bold enough to take action?”

“This world never lacks people with boldness.”

“But that’s too bold, isn’t it? Isn’t the saying ‘kill the chicken to warn the monkey’ working on this monkey anymore?”

Chairman Li got up, glanced at President Sun, and walked toward Li Peiqi standing at the door, leaving just a sentence drifting in President Sun’s ear.

“‘Kill the chicken to warn the monkey’ has always been a false proposition since ancient times; the monkey cannot be warned. No monkey will consider itself a chicken, instead it will mock the chicken’s foolishness.”

“Tomorrow I plan to gather all forces from Neutron Star for a meeting, to pass the threefold trial as soon as possible.”

“At this rate, I’m somewhat worried that one day Chen Yi will exterminate all the planets in the Number Three Star System; it’s better to leave the Number Three Star System sooner rather than later.”

“A monster has emerged in the Number Three Star System; it’s not a place to stay for long.”

…

Billions of players in the live broadcast room began to orderly exit the live stream. After leaving, many players whispered in their guilds.

“Don’t provoke Chen Yi.”

“If anyone is named Chen Yi, change the name immediately.”

In such a situation.

They were scared, truly scared.

In the Number Three Star System, each planet competes with the others, but intense competition never led to the extermination of a clan.

How long has Blue Star emerged?

It’s only been a little over four months, and already two planets have been exterminated. That’s still within the Newbie Protection Period. Once Blue Star comes out of the Newbie Protection Period.

How many planets will survive in the Number Three Star System?

Almost instantly.

The majority of forces across all planets made a decision in their hearts, to pass the threefold trial and leave the Number Three Star System as soon as possible.

The failure rates for both the twofold and threefold trials are significant.

In the past, nobody was eager to initiate the twofold trial, always feeling that without a hundred percent certainty to clear it, rashly initiating like the God Race and suffering a crushing defeat would greatly affect their clan’s strength.

Everyone was in no hurry.

After all, there was no time limit.

The overall situation was somewhat slack.

But now it was different.

Without passing the threefold trial and leaving the Number Three Star System early, it’s possible that the next planet to be wiped out could be their own.

The only factor to consider now is how to present a gift to Chen Yi.

To ensure that Chen Yi does not suddenly appear in their twofold trial.

That’d be quite scary indeed.
