Chapter 1100: Chapter 355: Materialized Rule Clock
A terrifying force acted on the collector.
A rumbling sound erupted, it was the sound of a sonic boom.
However, at that moment, the collector suddenly changed direction and then shot upwards.
Completely defying the laws of physics.
"What’s going on?" Mu Rufeng was slightly stunned. He hadn’t expected the collector to be unaffected by the direction of the force he unleashed, instead, it flew directly upwards.
[New rule this week: Good Sleep]
[Good Sleep]: Sleep duration must be between 8-10 hours per day, violation leads to only four hours of sleep per day, this rule will be offline in two months.
"It really is this rule, seems like what Tang Xinhe said about those rules is probably true." Mu Rufeng heard the prompt in his ear and muttered to himself.
When the new rule was established, the rule’s space-time began to become illusionary.
However, just as the rule clock was about to disappear, the collector thrown by Mu Rufeng hit the core of the rule clock precisely.
The central point of the rule clock’s dial where three hands intersect — hour hand, minute hand, and the tail end of the second hand — origin mechanism.
The moment it hit, the previously illusionary rule clock immediately became real.
"Crack crack crack~~~!"
The sound of gears turning and being forcibly stuck echoed, reverberating across the whole world.
"What is that sound? The crackling, did you hear it?"
"Look, the rule clock in the sky, it didn’t disappear."
"Damn, what’s going on? Is there a hot air balloon up there?"
"Your eyesight so sharp? Can you see that? I can’t see anything clearly."
"I have binoculars, damn it, there’s someone on that hot air balloon."
The change in the rule clock alarmed almost everyone.
They hadn’t yet recovered from the rules, and now the rule clock was stuck and didn’t disappear.
Some sharp-eyed individuals, or those using telescopes and such, even saw the hot air balloon.
On the Dragon Group’s side, Wang Luo’s usually calm demeanor finally showed a hint of change.
"It worked, it actually worked." Wang Luo smiled.
...
[Congratulations to the player for successfully completing the Third Stage, achieving a clearance completion percentage of one thousand]
[Fourth Stage begins. Please proceed to the rule clock’s core within fifteen minutes to protect the collector from being destroyed by monsters, and wait for the collector to absorb the spatial rules’ aura]
Soon, a fifteen-minute countdown appeared.
"Guard the rule clock’s core? Monsters?" Mu Rufeng was a bit confused by these prompts.
But soon, Mu Rufeng noticed something amiss.
Only to see the numbers on the rule clock begin to pulse, as though some monster was trying to break free.
Moreover, the small dots representing seconds between the numbers also started pulsating.
Mu Rufeng could see mechanical monster heads emerging from within.
Mu Rufeng understood that he needed to fend off these mechanical monsters, and the core, needless to say, was the spot in the clock center where the collector had struck.
On either side of the rule clock, there were two huge metal rings that originally circled the clock, but because they got stuck, the rings also stopped moving.
Thinking of this, Mu Rufeng didn’t hesitate, jumped up, stepped on the basket’s edge, and then leaped forward powerfully.
The immense force shattered the basket, while Mu Rufeng flew forward.
Mu Rufeng was not foolish enough to use a parachute directly; if he used it now, he wouldn’t be able to descend when the Fourth Stage task was completed.
Therefore, Mu Rufeng could only rely on his physical strength to land on the clock.
Mu Rufeng had long aimed at the opportunity, the spot he intended to land was one of those two rings.
After a long leap, Mu Rufeng began to fall downwards.
He got increasingly closer to the rule clock.
This rule clock was peculiar; although it looked like it had only one face, no matter from which direction you looked, you could always see the same face.
"Thud!" A dull sound.
Mu Rufeng slammed onto the ring, the immense inertia under which made him unable to grasp the ring, and he swiftly slid downward.
However, fortunately, there were many gaps on the rule clock, although not large, Mu Rufeng’s hands constantly grasped them, and finally stabilized at the very bottom.
From the ground, the rule clock seemed incredibly smooth, and no gaps were visible, but when Mu Rufeng jumped up, he found there really were many gaps.
They varied in size, some as big as a fist, others were only the size of finger gaps.
Because the materials and colors were the same, it was impossible to see from the ground.
Mu Rufeng checked the countdown, three minutes had already passed, so he needed to climb to the clock’s central part within twelve minutes.
Mu Rufeng checked, it was at least a thousand meters away.
However, this wasn’t a problem for Mu Rufeng. His hands suddenly exerted force, his body instantly soared into the air, shooting upward.
When the upward momentum was almost gone, Mu Rufeng’s hands grasped the gaps again and continued to exert force.
Just like that, Mu Rufeng quickly headed upwards.
While rushing, Mu Rufeng saw those small dots, with mechanical monsters already emerging from them.
