There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Three consecutive global announcements swept past all players in the form of banners, slowly flashing before their eyes.

The banners were even wrapped with roses around the edges.

It's important to know that global announcements are rarely made for a single player!

Up until now!

There has been only one player for whom a global announcement has been made, and that is Chen Yi, the only one!

That time was when Chen Yi helped Yancheng become the first city to solve the Insect Calamity during the Extraterrestrial Invader event, which led to Yancheng being featured in a global announcement.

As he killed the most enemies in Yancheng, he also made it onto the global announcement and was awarded the title Invincible Under the Heavens.

Aside from that time, there has never been another global announcement made for a particular player.

There was only once because of a Vehicle, which led to the Vehicle patch update that Chen Yi obtained, which also triggered a global announcement, but it did not mention a name; it simply referred to him as a certain player!

In strict terms!

So far, global announcements have been made for an individual player only twice, once calling out his name, and once triggered by him but without mentioning his name.

And now—

It was the second, third, and fourth times that global announcements were officially made for a certain player.

Multiple global announcements sounded in succession.

At this moment, all players around the world took note that Chen Yi sent three gifts of 9999 Rose Seas to a woman named Jiaye!

Worth a total of 30,000 Points!

To spend 30k Points just to express one's love, how foolish... I misspoke, how extravagant!

...

Meanwhile, above Yancheng.

Hovering above Jiaye, a rose sea made up of flowers—hundreds of meters in diameter—slowly spun for a while before gently falling towards the ground.

Suddenly.

The entire square.

Every player witnessed a sea of roses made up of flowers.

A sea of roses worth 30k Points.

Tens of thousands of roses floated down from the sky, and all the players stood there, their expressions one of awe, looking up at this once-in-a-century sight.

At this moment, even the most stoic of men could feel the presence of romance wafting through the air.

Even numerous couples among the players had reddened eyes, holding each other tightly, embracing and kissing with closed eyes.

These times have been so hard on everyone.

Such a romantic scene could easily tug at the softest strings of people's hearts.

...

"How romantic," sighed Li Yide, looking up at the rose sea above with a dazed expression, his Fox Tail instinctively perking up. Through the gaps in the rose sea, he seemed to see his first love.

It was as if he once had a girl he really liked, only for her to walk away in the end.

Since then.

It seemed as if he started liking every girl in the world.

If she were still here, could he also send out a sea of roses now?

Forget it, not a sea of roses.

That's too extravagant, but a 999 Rose Rain might be manageable.

...

Han Yu silently clenched the dagger in her hand, looking up at the sled in the sea of flowers above, biting her lip without speaking.

"Stop looking," said a charming matron standing behind Han Yu, holding her into her embrace and leaning on her husband's head, whispering with a face full of happiness.

"Actually, compared to witnessing someone else's rose sea."

"I prefer the two bundles of roses you and our son sent me."

"Little Yu is very strong now too, although he's not on par with that Chen Yi, but he's much stronger than the average player, and we will have our own little happiness in the future."

"You sure are content with what we have," the man said somewhat helplessly, holding his wife as he looked up at Chen Yi, who stood on the sled amidst the rose sea, and couldn't help but sigh, "This kid sure knows romance, but isn't the cost a bit too high?"

"30,000 Points, wouldn't it be better to use them for something else?"

"There's even a Rose Guardian event on Children's Day, so a Chrysanthemum Ancestor Worship event on Tomb-Sweeping Day seems normal too, right? Could it be that when the time comes, he'll also have to send a giant wreath of 9999 chrysanthemums to honor his ancestors?"

...

"Do you like it, wife?" said a middle-aged man straddling a Bright Brand Pedal Bicycle in a corner of the square, resting his foot on the ground and murmuring as he looked up at the rose sea in the sky.

"It's beautiful," said the bald woman behind the middle-aged man, wrapped in a bedsheet and sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, her arms tightly embracing the man's waist, as if afraid he would disappear.

Resting her head on the man's back and looking sidelong at the rose sea, she spoke in a faint voice, "If only we could see this every day."

The man said nothing, just gritted his teeth, his eyes full of sorrow.

The title "Lucky Child of the God of Love" floating above Chen Yi's head belonged to him; he had exchanged it for a bicycle from Chen Yi.

He traded it to Chen Yi at the time because he thought such a character wouldn't die easily and wouldn't let his wife lose her life.

Now Chen Yi is indeed still alive, but his wife will not make it that long.

In the past few days, he rode his bicycle with his wife to many places in Yancheng, visiting all the attractions they never had time to visit before because of busy work schedules.

He hated his own powerlessness.

Before the calamity, he had no capabilities, and after the calamity descended, he still lacked any power.

Several times, even the bicycle was nearly stolen from them.

...

Such is the variety of life.

Just like the joys and sorrows of humans do not resonate with each other.

Right when all the players were looking up in awe, admiring the sea of flowers.

The Bald Trio, panting heavily, worked together to move the gift bag heavy as a small mountain to the side, their eyes flickering with excitement and guilt as they looked at the barely breathing player underneath.

The middle-aged man with a tuft of a mustache didn't say a word as he hoisted the player onto his back and ran quickly towards another player not far off that had healing skills, shouting urgently as he went.

"Someone needs saving!!!"

"Save him!!"

"Stop freaking looking!!"

The sea of roses covered a vast area.

It enveloped the entire square, allowing the players around, though not receiving the flowers themselves, to also enjoy the sensation of being amidst the floral expanse.

...

"It's so beautiful..."

Jiaye stood there with a dazzled look, fiddling with her skirt, suddenly too shy to meet Chen Yi's gaze. She could only sneak peeks at the flower-filled sky evasively.

She was just a little fishmonger.

Only after packing up her stall could she carefully change into a new dress and go for a walk with her brother.

That was the most romantic thing she had ever experienced.

As for receiving flowers.

She had only seen that in movies, never imagining that one day it could happen right before her eyes.

With her ears turning a slight red, she tried her best to look natural, yet she could still faintly hear her own quickening heartbeat.

She had never thought that she could enjoy such treatment in her life!

A sea of flowers!

All for her!

Even the heroines in movies didn't get treated like this.

Her heart dreamt up various scenarios, and the more she fantasized, the harder it throbbed.

How could she accept a proposal!

It's only been a handful of days since they met!

Yi, how can you be so frivolous!

...

"Heh heh."

Tie Chui stood immobile on the sled like a sculpture, looking up at the rose sea above, scratching his head with a goofy smile as if lost in thought.

"It's really nice."

Tuberculosis Rabbit glanced at Yi, who had a smile on his face, and then at Jiaye, who stood in the corner of the sled with flushed ears, and couldn't help but nod in satisfaction, his smile revealing a touch of maternal pride unbidden.

If Jiaye became his sister-in-law, he would be quite pleased.

At least with Jiaye's temperament, she didn't seem like the type to drive a wedge between him and Yi.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He was afraid Yi would find a domineering woman who wouldn't allow Yi to play with him or who would control Yi strictly, not letting him go out to meet with him.

That would make him very angry.

But if it were Jiaye, it wouldn't be an issue. Jiaye definitely wouldn't stop Yi from playing with him.

Then, unable to restrain himself, he smiled with satisfaction again, turning to Yi and said, "What are you waiting for? First time confessing and don't know how to proceed? You've already given the flowers, hurry and confess."

"What are you waiting for? Jiaye won't make the first move, right?"

As these words were spoken, Jiaye tensed slightly, turned her head to look the other way, and her earlobes visibly reddened a bit more, pretending not to hear the conversation.

But it was all a bit too exaggerated.

The sled wasn't that large.

If she couldn't hear, then she might as well be diagnosed as deaf.

"Yi?"

Seeing Chen Yi still smiling and motionless, watching Jiaye's retreating figure, and completely ignoring him.

Tuberculosis Rabbit waved his hand in front of Chen Yi's eyes, perplexed.

Seeing no reaction from Chen Yi still,

he silently stood there, his eyes complex as he finally said softly,

"Yi, please don't tell me that all this while you've been staring at the interface."

At that moment—

Chen Yi, looking satisfied, pulled out a blue card from his bosom and gave it a shake in front of Tuberculosis Rabbit.

"Look what this is, I just exchanged for it."

"This is a real bargain."

"Give a bouquet of roses, and you get 1 Guardian Point."

"And Guardian Points can be exchanged in the 'Rose Guardian' event's exclusive store for props."

"It seems not many people noticed this exclusive store in the Rose Guardian event."

"I just spent 30k Points to get this prop; this time I made a huge profit."

"Oh right Jiaye, I just sent you 3 bouquets of 9999 roses; you should have nearly 30k Charm Points, which can also be used in the exclusive store of Rose Guardian to purchase props."

"In the exclusive store of Rose Guardian, some props can only be exchanged with Guardian Points, and some can only be exchanged with Charm Points. Take a look at what prop you want and exchange it yourself."

"Since we've known each other for so long, consider it a gift from me; whatever prop you exchange for, keep it for yourself."

"Oh."

Jiaye stiffened slightly, without turning around, she simply ran her fingers through her hair in the breeze, looking at the gradually fading rose sea in front of her, and stopped talking without looking at the store.

She just stared at the rose petal that had fallen at the edge of the sled and was turning into dust.

Like the curtain falling in a theater, everything was over.

Nothing happened.

Nothing at all.

Even though, it had never even begun.
