Chapter 8: "Sweet as Honey 520" special limited-time event is officially launched!

```

Following that,

Captain Li, without any hesitation, just fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Chen Yi and his companion silently headed towards the basement, carrying Captain Li.

Garden District.

An old neighborhood that had seen many years, where most of the residents were tenants.

Each house was subdivided into several units and rented out to recent university graduates who were not yet financially well-off.

There was no property management.

The property management company had long since withdrawn.

The security cameras were broken and nobody bothered to fix them; even the streetlights within the neighborhood had been sabotaged a long time ago, leaving only the lights from individual households still shining.

Under the rule of "Calm and Cool,"

even the most frugal person wouldn't dare to sleep with the lights off.

Nearly every household was noisy.

The shared rental homes that were disliked on normal days now became a lifesaver.

With more people, the fear within one's heart would diminish a bit.

Gathering together to sing, drink, and watch movies, it was indeed hard to remember the existence of ghosts.

Almost each family had already smashed all their mirrors.

A normal person,

just by staring in the mirror for a minute, would not expect to sleep well that night.

And under the May rules of "Calm and Cool," it wasn't just a matter of sleeping poorly anymore, it was a matter of whether you'd still be able to see the sun rise the next morning.

No one noticed the commotion downstairs.

Or rather, even if someone did take notice, they wouldn't meddle in others' affairs; under such special circumstances, it was better to look out for oneself first.

...

"Huff."

Having finally moved Captain Li into an abandoned basement, Chen Yi wiped the sweat off his forehead, took a deep breath, and looked around: "The weather has been getting hotter lately."

Tuberculosis Rabbit stood nervously at the entrance of the basement, constantly peeking outside: "Are we going to kill him?"

This basement had no door.

Just the frame of cement.

Never sold during the original housing sales, it had since remained vacant.

Dust had accumulated on the floor, and cobwebs stretched from the ceiling to the floor.

Chen Yi didn't respond, instead searching through Captain Li's belongings to find his phone and checking the last call record.

"Uncle Wei."

"Hmm."

Chen Yi took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and casually dialed the number listed under the name Uncle Wei.

Soon,

the call connected.

A voice of an elderly man soon came through.

"Have you brought the person?"

"No."

Chen Yi shook his head, casually glancing at Captain Li not far away: "There was a bit of a hiccup, but that's not important. I hear you're looking for me."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, and after a moment, the elderly man's voice could be heard again.

"Rising Group, 29th floor."

"Our boss is waiting for you. Come over soon; it's in your best interest as well as ours."

The call was then hung up.

"Rising Group?"

Tuberculosis Rabbit frowned and said uneasily: "I know of this group; they are involved in various businesses including real estate, municipal investment, finance, and so on."

"What do they want from me?"

```

Chen Yi pocketed Captain Li's phone, paused for a while, and then said softly.

"What else could it be for?"

"We didn't interact much in the past, and now they suddenly ask us over in such an impolite manner. Naturally, it can only be because of the chest just now."

"The other party is quite well-informed."

"Should we go then?"

"Go to hell."

Chen Yi disdainfully glanced at Captain Li lying on the ground. "Most likely, they want to snatch our reward. I heard that Rising Group's security department has several hundred people."

"Would we fare well if we went over?"

"Although Yancheng is rather chaotic now, some semblance of order still exists. They wouldn't dare to be too blatant, but if we went there voluntarily, it'd be no different than walking into a trap."

"So, what should we do with this Captain Li?"

Just then—

As time ticked into the early hours of the morning, a voice suddenly rang out in the ears of everyone in Blue Star.

"Game event announcement!"

"May 19th to May 21st, the '520 The Sweetness of Love' special limited-time event officially begins!"

"All players can participate in this event during these three days."

"Event One: Event gift pack."

"All players can purchase a gift pack priced at 88 Points, originally 648 Points."

"The pack includes the following contents: random Prop x1, random Skill Fragment x5."

"This pack is limited to one purchase per player."

"Event Two: The Sweetness of Love."

"During the event, if you say 'I like you' to someone you truly have feelings for, you will receive the special limited rare title 'Lucky Child of the God of Love'."

"This title has the following attribute: there is a one in ten chance that when you face certain death damage, it will transfer the damage to the person you like."

"Event Three: Cupid's Mischief."

"During the event, Cupids will appear randomly, each with a significant amount of health and quite impressive attacks."

"Cupid will only stay for 2 hours each time."

"Within these two hours, those who succeed in killing Cupid will divide 'Cupid's Gift Pack' according to the ranking of damage dealt, receiving a large amount of rewards."

"Whoever lands the finishing blow will receive additional rewards."

"The Snow Sea Project Team wishes all players a fun time in this limited-time event."

"Oh my god..."

The Tuberculosis Rabbit looked at the panel before him and couldn't help but slowly open his mouth wide: "How does this thing look exactly like those pay-to-win games, with limited-time events and packs."

"Such a familiar strategy."

"The mastermind behind this global game must be a domestic game manufacturer, right?"

"Just missing a pay-to-win panel."

"But I have to say, the event for 88 Points seems like a good deal, and it even rewards a random prop. You know, we haven't even seen a hint of a prop up until now."

"This must be the first time the game is releasing props."

As he got caught up in the topic, the Tuberculosis Rabbit couldn't help but continue somewhat compulsively, "Especially the second event, The Sweetness of Love, rewarding a special title for completing the event task."

"Isn't this Title Effect a bit too strong?"

"A one in ten chance of avoiding certain death?"

"Although the probability is low, when you're actually facing certain death, even a one percent chance is still hope."

"It's just that..."

He continued with a hint of wistfulness: "I probably won't be able to get that title. confessing to someone you truly like—that task seems a bit too difficult."

"Don't look at me."

Chen Yi shrugged his shoulders, sighing somewhat helplessly: "I can't get it either."

"If I had known there would be rewards like this, I should have at least liked someone. Just not sure if it's still time to start liking someone right now."

"Forget it, let's deal with Captain Li first, then go out and see what the situation is like."
