There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 140: "Event One: In the Name of the Father.



"Prop Name": In the Name of the Father.

"Prop Level": Unique.

"Prop Effect": When you activate the prop and hum the song In the Name of the Father, all listeners who have not purchased the single before the descent of the latter days will fall into an hour of sadness.

"Prop Limit": After one use, it will enter a 24h cooldown.

"Prop Introduction": "Support the genuine, starting with you and him."

This was one of two unique props he obtained in the world boss event. He had thought that unique props were all very powerful, but in terms of offensive power, this prop was not as good as his B-grade prop, the Snow Eagle Sniper Rifle.

The only notable point was that there was only one of this prop in the whole world.

Whether its effect was powerful or weak, there was only one in the whole world.

The rarity of a global unique prop lay in its uniqueness, not in its combat effects.

However, when he first obtained this prop, he actually had no idea how to use it properly. The effect of the prop was somewhat ambiguous; falling into an hour of self-reproach and penitence, he had no clear concept of what it actually entailed.

As for whether this prop was related to the Father's Day event, he couldn't be certain.

After all, the only similarity was the word "Father."

Forget it, he would know the answer at 12 o'clock.

Chen Yi decided not to think about it anymore, instead turning his head to look at Tuberculosis Rabbit. "Have you heard In the Name of the Father?"

"In the Name of the Father?"

Tuberculosis Rabbit tilted his head in thought for a moment before he spoke, "It seems familiar, why do you suddenly ask?"

"Did you buy this single?"

"Of course not, I always listen to pirated versions."

"..."

Chen Yi fell silent and said no more. The prop was an indiscriminate attack, meaning that if he used it, Tuberculosis Rabbit would also be affected. The main point was... he didn't really know how to sing the song.

It was somewhat difficult to sing.

He had bought the single; what was the situation back then? It seemed like he was planning to help the bodies in the morgue pass on peacefully, so he used this song, intending to let the bodies of the morgue depart in peace in the name of God.

The effect was not bad.

No corpses suddenly jumped up.

Unexpectedly, to this day, he was once again dealing with this song.

Afterwards, Chen Yi stood up, took the coat off the chair, and left Tuberculosis Rabbit alone as he went up to the rooftop terrace: "I'm going out for a bit. Wait for me here."

...

The terrace.

The sky was still dark; dense black clouds were still pressing over the city, making the entire city appear particularly oppressive.

The overnight downpour had stopped, and the entire city was permeated with the fresh scent of post-rain, with puddles on the ground reflecting the light like moonlight, highlighting this steel jungle.

The air was slightly humid.

Chen Yi, alone, walked to the top of the terrace, and after scanning his surroundings to ensure no one was around, pulled out a music-playing prop, an MP3, found the song In the Name of the Father, and played the accompaniment.

He then took a deep breath, feeling a little nervous in his heart, and began to hum along.

"The crisp morning dew moistens the black tuxedo."

"Stone paths are foggy, Father whispers softly."

"..."

At first, his voice was low, but after humming several times and getting the rhythm, his voice gradually grew louder.

He even bought a black tuxedo from the shop and got an illusionary skin for the Christmas Cane he held, turning it into a sleek black cane.

In the morning dew under the dark clouds, he gently swayed and hummed softly.

"Helpless despair only leads to more cruelty."

"All for the journey to the church."

"..."

If the camera angle were raised, one could see a young man in a black tuxedo, holding a sleek black cane, standing on the terrace of a steel jungle under a sky of heavy clouds, constantly swaying and humming In the Name of the Father.

It had a sense of... refreshing purity.

The somewhat complex and sorrowful tune began to resonate above the neighborhood.

Elegance and desolation coexisted.

Like a pianist playing unconcerned in the center of a town bombed by missiles, confronting war with art, seeking tranquility amidst death.

In order to use this prop better, he did put in a lot of effort, learning how to sing this song specifically, and even bought a black tuxedo to be more immersed.

Although the prop wasn't lethal,

causing listeners to fall into an hour of sadness could still significantly help in combat against enemies, nearly halving their fighting strength... maybe?

Besides, the other unique prop was also quite absurd.

"Prop Name": Center of the Universe

"Prop Level": Unique.

"Prop Effect": When you activate this effect, you can choose any music or accompaniment to play over the area of a city. Everyone within this range will clearly hear the song or the accompaniment sung by you, and your singing will be optimized.

"Prop Introduction", "Your voice deserves to be heard by more people."

Yes, it's also a unique item, the kind where there's only one in the whole world.

These two props can be used together, their combined effect can plunge a large area of players into a state of sadness.

Beyond that, there are no other effects.

Unique items cannot be enhanced or enchanted.

After about an hour of practice, Chen Yi finally relaxed a little, changed back into his original clothes, and headed to the rooftop, returning to the rental apartment.

He wasn't a man of vanity.

But he still found it hard to accept that when he was prepared to use this prop against enemies, he would hum a song out of tune, so he decided to practice the song in advance.

In fact, he always felt that it was illogical for the song to make people sad.

In his heart, the song "In the Name of the Father" always had a hint of religious color, meant to conduct a service for the dead, to let those who had died depart quietly and not linger and cause trouble in the human world.

After all, the lyrics included lines like, "Merciful Heavenly Father, please forgive the sins of humanity and let them rest in peace."

If it was meant to induce sadness, there should be better song choices.

But on second thought, it made sense; if the enemies were all plunged into sadness and unable to fight at full strength, it would then be his turn to step in and let the enemies rest in peace.

...

Before long, the clock hand pointed to 12:00.

Outside, it was still dim, just a touch brighter than early morning, but overall very dark, as a heavy blanket of clouds almost entirely blocked out all light, making it impossible to feel a single ray of noontime sunshine.

"Ding, game event announcement!"

"June 17-19, 'Father's Day' special limited event officially begins!"

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

"Event One: In the Name of the Father."

"During the three days of the event, you can claim another player as your godson. Your godson will never be able to attack you, either actively or passively, and each time they return from the map, they must offer up one-tenth of all earnings as a sign of respect to their godfather."

"Each player can claim one godfather at most and up to ten godsons."

"Additionally, a godson has the ability to summon their godfather. No matter where the godfather is, as long as he accepts the summons, he will be instantly transported to his godson's side to aid in battle."

"Event Two: Goodness of Heart."

"During these three days, all players can use music to influence others' emotions by singing or playing the piano. Making one person feel sadness will earn 1 Sadness Point. Achieving Sadness Points will unlock a limited-time leaderboard - the Global Musicians' Ranking."

"The judges for this event are—"

"Little Sprite, Little Sprite's Mom, Little Sprite's Dad."

"The three judges will constantly observe the top ten players on the leaderboard and give extra points and special additional rewards based on their performance."

"Event Three: Emotion Shop."

"All Sadness Points earned during the event can be used to purchase special limited props in the Emotion Shop."

"Event Four: Expressions of Love."

"Telling your biological father 'I love you, Father' will grant you the Special Limited Title 'Father's Love is Like a Mountain'."

A voice rang out in the ears of all players.

"..."

Tuberculosis Rabbit opened his mouth in shock, looking down blankly at the Red Moon Claw Knife in his hand, which he had been charging up for a long time. He had been prepared to go on a killing spree in this limited event! Experience tales with empire

But who would have thought that this limited event didn't have any monster-killing part at all?

A godfather adoption, singing, and expressing love composed this Father's Day's limited event?

What the heck did any of that have to do with him and Yi?

Neither of them even had a father!

Wasn't this targeting a bit too blatant?

Didn't whoever designed the event take into account the feelings of orphans like themselves?

Chen Yi, on the other hand, frowned and carefully looked at the event rules. The two unique items he had gotten from the world boss recently seemed to have little use, but now it looked like they could be useful in this event.

He had just practiced singing for an hour this morning, and now it seemed he could use it right away?

...

In the instant that the event announcement went out.

In a residential complex in Yancheng, Han Yu's eyes suddenly reddened. Turning to look at the family sitting on the sofa, he stared intently at his father with a trembling voice close to tears.

"Father."

Then, Han Yu began to sing a cappella. His song slowly filled the room.

"Always taking from you, never stopping to say thank you."

"Only after growing up do I realize how hard you had it."

"Every time I leave, I pretend to be nonchalant."

"..."

The song resonated with ups and downs, soft yet heavy, echoing in the room like the bell of a temple, striking each person's heart, while Han Yu quickly became emotional, his eyes turning red and his voice hoarse as he sang out loud.
