There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

"Attention all players, the World Boss is about to appear."

"All players will be transported into a vast and huge space to attack the boss together; rankings and rewards will be based on the damage dealt."

"The World Boss will officially appear at 12:00 PM." Stay connected with empire

"World Boss?"

The Tuberculosis Rabbit's train of thought was interrupted by the sudden announcement ringing in his ears, and he said somewhat dumbfounded, "All players attack a single boss? And in one space?"

"Isn't it unreasonable if this doesn't cause a stampede?"

But soon the two looked at each other, each catching the emotions in the other's eyes.

Better sleep on it.

Damn tired to death.

They had been going through several maps in succession without any rest.

Go home, wash up, undress, sleep.

Time flew quickly.

Until 08:00 AM.

The piercing alarm woke the soundly sleeping Chen Yi and his companion.

The Tuberculosis Rabbit turned over, grabbed a bun from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, and after a punch to force the bun into his stomach, he mumbled a few words before drifting back into slumber.

Chen Yi, lying on another bed, did the same.

Without even opening his eyes, he grabbed a bun and shoved it into his mouth, chewed it mindlessly a few times, swallowed, and then continued to sleep.

The June rule isn't dangerous, just purely annoying.

You must eat at eight in the morning.

They were really too tired these days.

So tired that Chen Yi and his friend didn't wake up until half-past eleven, and were still not fully awake, their minds groggy.

They barely finished washing up.

Before they could speak a few words to each other,

they heard the announcement sound again.

"The World Boss has officially arrived!"

"All players, prepare yourselves, teleportation will begin shortly!"

The next second—

With a flash of white light before their eyes, they found themselves in a massive white space upon reopening them. In this boundless, horizonless white space, numerous players stood crowded together.

Countless players jammed upon the white ground, resembling ants densely packed on a piece of paper.

At this moment, almost all the players were performing the same action in unison.

That was, holding a bun and stuffing it into their mouths.

They were all eating.

The arrival time of the World Boss just happened to be at 12:00 PM, right at mealtime.

Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Push the history of Blue Star back a few million years,

and it's possible that such a spectacle of nearly everyone on Blue Star eating buns at the same time has never occurred.

Before Chen Yi and his companion had a chance to carefully observe their surroundings,

a gigantic screen popped up in mid-air.

Large enough for every player below to see clearly.

"3 minutes until the World Boss arrives!"

"Number of surviving players (1,000,000/1,000,000)."

"World Boss name: Bull Demon King with a Giant Hammer."

"The player who deals the most damage will advance and join other players of equal strength to attack a stronger World Boss."

"Inside this map, damage dealt by players to other players is ineffective."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Damage dealt to the boss will earn corresponding points, which can be exchanged for rewards in the World Shop. Many special props, such as Enhancement Stones and Protection Talismans, have been added to the shop for this event."

"Is this mandatory participation? Can I opt out? I'll let someone else have the rewards."

"This World Boss must have AOE attacks, with so many people crowded together, there's bound to be a stampede!"

Many voices of discussion suddenly rose around them, instantly making the whole white space as noisy as a morning vegetable market!

"Enhancement Stone?"

Chen Yi, on the other hand, was more interested in the new item mentioned in the announcement. For some reason, that term seemed to trigger many shadows for him.

He vaguely remembered that in some game, he had spent a long time accumulating resources, only to finally "enhance" a +13 weapon down to +7.

Yes.

He had used up all his resources, and not only failed to reach his goal of +15, but ended up at +7.

He spent the resources, and his combat power actually decreased.

From then on, he loathed and despised the enhancement feature in browser games. But now, it seemed this feature was appearing in reality.

And then there were the words 'Protection Talisman'.

He could almost confirm it now.

After this World Boss event, the enhancement function would be introduced.

Soon there would probably be a lot of angry players who'd poured all their savings into enhancing their equipment, only to find their combat power dwindling with each attempt.

Or they may have finally enhanced their C-grade item to +12.

All confident and ready to wreak havoc.

Only to suddenly discover that the base attributes of a B-grade item were stronger than their +12 enhanced C-grade prop.

Enhancement layers couldn't be transferred.

Then they would fall into the trap of deciding whether to continue enhancing the B-grade prop, the vicious cycle of Reincarnation.

But now was not the time to think about that. Just as Chen Yi and the Tuberculosis Rabbit had finished exchanging a few thoughts, the World Boss arrived!

A Minotaur Monster, over thirty meters tall, wielding a giant hammer, descended from the sky!

And then—

Chen Yi suddenly found that the countless players around him had disappeared in an instant, leaving him alone in the vast white space.

Next to the gigantic Minotaur Monster, a huge leaderboard screen, a hundred meters long, appeared.

"Damage Leaderboard"

"1st Place: Li Deyi, damage dealt: 211."

"Rank 2: Zhang Jiayi, damage dealt 192."

"Rank 3: ..."

And there were countless players continuously joining the ranks, with the numbers on the damage leaderboard constantly changing.

At this moment, the chat box also popped up with Tuberculosis Rabbit's dialogue.

"Yi, suddenly I'm the only one here, what's happening on your end?"

"Same here, be careful."

Chen Yi quickly figured out the situation, it seemed to be a measure to prevent a stampede accident; although the million players were attacking the same boss, they had been separated into a million different spaces.

He easily accepted this reality.

After all, when playing games in the past, such occurrences were common—the servers couldn't bear such large pressure, so they would take this measure to let all players attack the world boss together.

He took a deep breath, pulled out a sniper rifle from his embrace, and began sizing up the huge boss in front of him.

A full thirty meters high.

What concept is that?

It's the height of a ten-story building.

Can you imagine a monstrous creature the size of a ten-story building, wielding a hammer as tall as itself, standing before you?

Most people really wouldn't have the courage to attack it.

And at that moment—

A huge red circle suddenly appeared beneath his feet, and at the same time, four huge red numbers emerged in the air surrounding him.

East: 288 meters.

West: 291 meters.

North: 1232 meters.

South: 78 meters.

And there was also a flashing countdown in the air.

"23, 22, 21..."

Thanks to his past gaming experience, Chen Yi almost instantly deduced what this huge red circle meant—the world boss's attack would fall when the countdown ended.

This red circle was the attack range.

And the numbers in the air towards the four directions were the distances to escape from the red circle in different directions.

Normal players would, of course, choose the south side, the 78 meters distance.

To run 78 meters in 20 seconds was, frankly, a bit of a strain for many people, especially when they couldn't make the right judgment promptly.

You have to remember, among these people are the elderly, the seriously ill, and so on.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yi immediately drove the snow sled out of the range of the red circle and at the same time aimed his sniper rifle at the huge world boss in front of him.

"Bang!"

The gunshot sounded!

A huge damage number appeared above the head of the world boss!

"-100k!"

A shot, 100k health!

He instantly took the top spot on the damage leaderboard, and the previous first place had only dealt less than 5,000 damage!

This sniper rifle usually put him in an awkward position!

For example, if he wanted to kill other players, it was too hard to do with a gun—30 plus shots were needed to kill someone.

He could even only use it as a spear!

But when it came to boss fights, this weapon was incredibly strong.

The concept of dealing fixed 3% of the Maximum Health Value as true damage—the higher the boss's health, the higher his damage, ignoring defense!

In other words, this creature had a whopping 3.3 million health.

And at this moment—

The countdown above the light circle finally reached zero!

You could only see the huge Minotaur Monster bellowing and lifting its massive hammer high into the sky, then smashing it down towards the ground—the area of attack being precisely where the red circle covered before!

Without further delay, Chen Yi sat on the snow sled, positioned the sniper barrel on the Bull Demon King's skull, and pulled the trigger again.

"-100k!"

At this stage, the boss had no ability to attack him.

With the speed of the snow sled, it was simply impossible for the boss to hit him.

For other players, even with only a few dozen meters distance, they would have to run on their own feet, but he could simply sit on the sled, which was quite convenient.

With the sniper rifle's damage, it was just a matter of pulling the trigger a few more times to take down the boss.

Though a bullet cost 100 Points.

But he wasn't short on Points right now.

...

"Damn it!"

A young man looked back at the huge hammer crashing down behind him, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat—he wasn't hit, but it was still frightening to have a hammer the size of a small building graze the top of his head!

The man didn't have time to think any further; instead, he worked hard to maintain a certain distance from the boss, his hands holding a constantly glowing longbow. He took a deep breath before shouting.

"Piercing Arrow!"

A red light arrow slowly materialized in the middle of the longbow, and as the man released his fingers, the red light arrow shot out towards the boss with a speed beyond the naked eye's capture!

"-19282!"

A massive blood-red number appeared on the boss's head, almost instantly taking the second spot on the damage leaderboard!

Seeing the huge damage number,

The young man's self-satisfied smile slowly curved upward, but then he felt a bit annoyed. This skill was inherent to the prop and had a 24-hour cooldown after one use.

To use this skill again, he had to wait until tomorrow.

Although it dealt high damage, it could only be used once.

There was no chance to use it a second time during the world boss fight.

This was already the highest damage he could deal. He just wondered how that person... managed to inflict up to 200k damage within just a few minutes?

The man looked at Chen Yi, who was ranked first in the player damage leaderboard, and shook his head helplessly.

The gap was too wide.

Unreachable.

If he could have unlimited cooldowns, he might be confident to chase after, but unfortunately... he didn't.
