There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

"Fashion Name": Bleeding Rose.

"Fashion Level": B-grade (Unique)

"Fashion Effect": This is a globally unique fashion item, a bunch of white roses soaked through with blood, turning crimson all over. When you wear it, all other fashion items on you will be forcibly elevated to B-grade.

Other fashion items forcibly elevated to B-grade will only come into effect when the Bleeding Rose is worn.

Additionally, by wearing a suit and placing this prop in the left breast pocket,

a hidden effect will be activated.

Any illusions, phantasms, nightmares, or other mental side effects will be unable to affect you, and it will greatly strengthen the defensive power of your left chest, securing your heart in an extremely safe position.

"Fashion Restriction": When you experience intense negative emotions such as extreme pain, extreme sadness, or extreme anger,

the prop will passively activate its full form. The Bleeding Rose will take root in your left chest, pierce through to your heart, and begin to spread rapidly, creating a second Bleeding Rose on your body, a third one... until it covers your entire body.

During this period, all your skill effects and prop effects will be tripled.

This process is irreversible until the Bleeding Rose has spread across the whole body, which signals death.

"Fashion Introduction": "People cannot have youth and the perception of youth at the same time, they always romanticize those memories, slowly defining them as regrets."

"This fashion component..."

Chen Yi, with one hand in his pocket, leaned on his cane, slightly furrowing his brow in thought.

It forcibly elevates all other fashion items to B-grade.

That effect is actually very powerful.

He had a prop called Men's Tank Top, which could increase a player's defensive power based on the level of fashion they wore.

If all his fashion items were B-grade, it could raise his defense to a very high level.

Especially when paired with a suit, he would have the ability to see through deception and illusions, and his left chest's defense would be fortified again, ensuring a very good defense.

But there were side effects.

The side effect was that in extreme pain, he would die as his body burst into roses.

Yet, upon careful consideration, it seemed he had never experienced such extreme pain and sadness since birth.

Unless Tuberculosis Rabbit died.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to fall into a state of extreme pain.

But if Tuberculosis Rabbit were dead, it seemed his life wouldn't have much meaning left.

No audience, no need for the actor to remain on stage.

Just as he pondered how to maximize the use of this fashion item, he suddenly felt a breeze in his face and, before he could react, someone embraced him.

"Yi!"

Chen Yi was about to activate a prop when he smelled the familiar fragrance of a young girl and felt the somewhat soft body in his arms, momentarily stiffening.

Jiaye's voice, filled with tears and joy, sounded in his ears.

Jiaye had been waiting for him on the rooftop, knowing that Yi often liked to leave the map from there. The moment Chen Yi returned, she rushed up to him.

Chen Yi looked at Jiaye hugging him tightly, burying her head in his chest, his hands hanging awkwardly in the air, turning towards the two beside him for help.

"Sigh."

With a serious face, Tuberculosis Rabbit sighed and, wrapping an arm around Sword Without End's shoulder, started walking downstairs: "We've been delayed by the map this long, should we celebrate properly?"

"How about hotpot?"

Sword Without End suggested gravely.

"Hotpot? No, that won't do, we just had it a few days ago and it was too greasy."

"What do you want to eat then?"

"How about barbecue? I suddenly feel like having Zibo barbecue."

"Sure, shall we get ready to fly to Zibo then?"

The two continued their casual conversation, walking further and further away, completely ignoring Chen Yi's pleading gaze, and even forcibly dragged Tie Chui down from the entrance of the rooftop.

Now, only Chen Yi and Jiaye were left on the rooftop.

The atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous and awkward.

It was deep into the night in Blue Star.

The weather was exceptionally good tonight, and the sky was filled with stars, looking extraordinarily beautiful.

Before the arrival of the game "Rising," society had been making continuous progress, to the point where the starry skies that were visible every night in childhood had gradually become something that existed only in textbooks and legends.

The starry sky hung overhead, twinkling continuously.

Meanwhile, on the other tall buildings around the one beneath their feet, there were hundreds of crimson lights twinkling non-stop.

Those were the numerous smokers who couldn't sleep at night and climbed up to the rooftop to light up a cigarette, inwardly cursing the "July Rules."

At this moment, these people were all secretly swallowing their saliva, looking towards Chen Yi and the young girl in his arms with eyes full of anticipation.

This was big news...!

And just then—

Jiaye also felt the atmosphere was a bit off, suddenly let go of Chen Yi, stepped back a few steps with her cheeks slightly flushed, and said in a voice as soft as a fly's, "Yi, you've been in the map for too long, I thought something had happened to you, it's so good that you're back safe."

"Uh..."

Chen Yi also couldn't help feeling a bit awkward, touched his nose and paused for a while before he finally spoke, "Uh, how about we go downstairs for a meal first?"

"I haven't eaten since I was in the map, and I'm getting a bit hungry."

"Okay."

Jiaye looked down with her cheeks a bit flushed and didn't speak, but just as Chen Yi was about to step away, she suddenly looked up at Yi with her eyes closed, her voice a bit hurried.

"Yi, I like you."

"You don't have to rush to reject me, I know this might be abrupt, but I just wanted to make my feelings clear, and to ask if you could tell me your standards for choosing a partner, so I can work towards that."

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say this later."

Jiaye lowered her head with a bitter smile, revealing a seal on her arm, "I might only have three more days to live, I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of dying without making my feelings for you clear."

"Hm?"

Chen Yi stopped in his tracks, turned around, walked over to Jiaye, picked up her arm to look at the cross-shaped seal on it and frowned, "Where did you get this?"

When focusing on this seal, a semi-transparent screen would appear out of thin air,

'God Race Cross-Border Pursuit Mark!'

'You have killed the God Race's Third Master, and because of this, the entire God Race is furious, deciding to mobilize everyone to Blue Star to launch a cross-border war in three days!'

'There is only one target!'

'Kill the murderer to avenge the Third Master!'

'After the objective is achieved, they will immediately withdraw from Blue Star.'

"In the Death Domain, we strayed from the official path and came across a special event," Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

Jiaye said in a low sorrowful voice, "In that special event, we killed a man in the map to clear the level, not knowing that man was a Third Master from some God Race."

"After that, I got this mark."

"The entire race pursuing me across bounds, I know I won't live long, if it wasn't for these three days, I probably wouldn't have dared to say what I just did in my entire life."
