"Blue Star 4.0 will begin its maintenance-free update at 12:00 AM on April 1st. The main content and adjustments of this update are as follows." "New monthly rule 'Active Talent' added: All players must converse with others for a total of 1000 sentences every day..." When an abrupt notification sound echoed in the ears of all humans on Blue Star. The world faced its cleansing. In every monthly version update, a new rule would descend, which all players had to obey. ... Chen Yi, who had found a massive loophole before the third version update, looked at the six-figure Points Balance in his account and broke into a grin. "Tuberculosis Rabbit, this time we might just rise to the top."
The noise of children playing nearby sounded particularly grating.
If it had been before, he certainly would have noticed such a jarring sound, but today he stood right beside it without realizing it even once, the young man somewhat stunned in place, as if suddenly enlightened.
These days, he had grown accustomed to the noise of children playing near his ears.
It seemed like a normal thing.
Something that was absolutely impossible before.
The world was starting to change subtly, even managing to deceive him.
"What difference does belief or disbelief make,"
the young man murmured to himself, then looked up again at the long-lost smile on his father's face—the kind that had never been there, no matter how big a project they had landed.
But now.
Despite having entrusted all his family business to Chen Yi, the smile on his father's face had grown more frequent.
No longer did he have that somber look with a murderous aura from morning till night.
