Chapter 1109: Chapter 357: The Mastermind Arrives, Limit Breakthrough
“You’re heavy, so take it slow and start from scratch. Also, when your book earns some royalties, go straight to the gym and hire a coach to design your training plan, and have them prepare your meals.”
“It means you’ll have to spend some money, see if you’re willing.” Mu Rufeng said, finishing dressing and stepping out.
“Alright, I’ll listen to Brother Feng. I’ll be on the shelves by mid-next month, and once the royalties come in the month after next, I’ll immediately sign up for classes.” Yan Zhicheng said earnestly.
Afterward, Mu Rufeng took Yan Zhicheng to a nearby seafood buffet restaurant.
Mu Rufeng had a big appetite, and due to his body size, Yan Zhicheng also had quite the appetite.
So, the buffet was the most cost-effective option.
98 yuan per person was quite affordable, and it was no problem for the two to eat their money’s worth.
…
Time flew by, and it was now the fifth week since Mu Rufeng’s transmigration, specifically 11:59 AM on July 28, 2014.
There’s one minute left until the announcement of new rules, until the appearance of the Rule Clock.
“Brother Feng, do you think the Rule Clock will appear again? Will there be more rules?” Yan Zhicheng asked with some worry as he sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at Mu Rufeng.
“I don’t know either. There’s one minute left; we’ll just have to wait.” Mu Rufeng said.
“Then, Brother Feng, do you know what the new rule will be this time?” Yan Zhicheng asked again.
“Hmm, if the Rule Clock appears, then this time the rule is ‘Chatterbox,’ requiring daily conversations of more than two hundred sentences with others, or else you’ll become mute.” Mu Rufeng thought for a moment before speaking.
“Chatterbox? Two hundred sentences? Well, that’s quite easy to accomplish.” Yan Zhicheng nodded slightly.
At this moment, there were only five seconds left.
After those five seconds ended, the two found themselves standing on the balcony, looking towards the sky.
“Dong~~ Ka-Ka~~ Dong~~~ Ka-Ka~~!”
The sound of the clock rang out, but it was interspersed with some screeching noises, as if it was stuck.
The Rule Clock reappeared in front of everyone.
However, this Rule Clock was visibly cracked, pieced together forcefully from fragments.
“Brother Feng, Brother Feng, look, the Rule Clock appeared, but it’s broken, shattered.” Yan Zhicheng shouted, pointing to the sky.
Mu Rufeng said nothing, staring intently at the Rule Clock.
[This week’s new rule: Chatterbox.]
[Chatterbox]: Engage in at least two hundred conversations with others each day, or else you will become mute.
Note: This rule will be revoked after a month.
The rule was still added, but the announcement tone in everyone’s ears sounded odd and disjointed.
“Brother Feng, it’s really the Chatterbox rule, and the clock is broken, yet there are new rules.” Yan Zhicheng was astonished.
“I didn’t think so either. Despite the Rule Clock being broken, new rules still appeared.” Mu Rufeng’s face turned slightly serious.
Just then, another notification sound rang in his ears, signaling the start of a task from the system.
[Fifth Phase Task begins: Individuals connected to the forces manipulating the Rule Clock have arrived in the Dragon Country. Capture or kill intruders within a week.]
[Note 1: For each person killed, your Rule Suppression limit can be raised by one level, allowing individuals under suppression to break free and restore their Extraordinary Power.]
[Note 2: The targets are all transmigrators, with the primary target being the player Mu Rufeng.]
Mu Rufeng was instantly shocked upon hearing the fifth-phase task.
He didn’t expect that the mastermind behind the Rule Clock had already arrived in the Dragon Country, seemingly needing something from the transmigrators.
And Mu Rufeng was evidently their primary target.
However, the most surprising thing was that each kill could increase his limit while breaking the rule constraints for Wang Luo and other transmigrators, restoring their Extraordinary Power.
From the task, it was evident that there was more than one person, quite a few, in fact.
Most importantly, these individuals probably possessed Extraordinary Powers.
“Brother Feng, Brother Feng? Are you listening to me?”
“I don’t want to become mute, let’s chat quickly.”
“Brother Feng? What’s wrong? Didn’t you hear me or are you just distracted?”
Yan Zhicheng’s chatter filled his ears.
Spreading influence from the rule, no doubt.
“Nothing, just thinking about something.”
“You’re right, but hold on, I need to make a call.” Mu Rufeng waved his hand, taking out his phone to dial Wang Luo’s number.
However, before he could, Wang Luo’s call came in first.
“Group Leader Wang? Is there something happening?” Mu Rufeng had a slight premonition of bad news.
“Something’s happened, there’s a second person with Extraordinary Power besides you.” Wang Luo said.
“Huh? What’s going on? Tell me.” Mu Rufeng asked immediately.
“Just where I am, the base was attacked. They’re in black armor, very strong, able to tear steel with their hands, and the armor can withstand thermal weapon attacks.”
“We used firepower to suppress them, pushed them back, but eight transmigrators were still taken.” Wang Luo explained.
“Black armor? Hands tearing steel? Transmigrators taken? Did you track their location?” Wang Luo asked.
“They seem unaffected by the rules, drove off in a vehicle, and we only learned from surveillance that they left the city. We were restricted to 80 km/h and couldn’t catch up.” Wang Luo said.
