Chapter 1081: Chapter 351: Cheat Activated, New Rule Descends
Soon, Yan Zhicheng tidied up the outline and the beginning, and directly submitted it to the editor.
Even though it was off-hours, Yan Zhicheng’s online literature editor was very dedicated and checked his submission immediately.
"Brother Feng, Brother Feng, look, the editor is also optimistic about this book, telling me to write well and that it will definitely explode in success."
Having received the editor’s approval, Yan Zhicheng was even more excited.
"Then what are you waiting for, release the book." Mu Rufeng said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes, I also need to post a Chapter to advertise in my book club and in the old book as well." Yan Zhicheng nodded repeatedly.
When everything was ready, it was already seven o’clock in the evening.
"Brother Feng, let’s go, I’m treating you to a big meal." Yan Zhicheng pulled Mu Rufeng and left the rental room.
...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was 11:55 AM on July 7, 2014.
It had been seven days since Mu Rufeng entered this instance world.
There were only five minutes left until the new rule would descend.
Many people didn’t take it seriously, but many others waited quietly.
Mu Rufeng and Yan Zhicheng were among them.
They had finished their lunch early and were sitting in the rental room waiting.
Yan Zhicheng, being an online literature author, was extremely interested in such events.
Moreover, he believed in it, as after all, everyone in the world had heard that voice.
The enormous clock was seen by countless people and was even captured on film.
Yan Zhicheng had even specifically asked in his book club and author group, and without exception, everyone had heard both the voice announcing the rule’s descent and the clock.
Although Yan Zhicheng didn’t see the clock himself while holed up in his rental room, it didn’t stop him from seeing various shots of the clock from different angles and positions online.
"Brother Feng, do you think the rules will really descend in a moment?" Yan Zhicheng asked Mu Rufeng, who was beside him.
"I think the rules will definitely descend, but I don’t know if it will be beneficial or detrimental to us." Mu Rufeng replied.
"The first rule said this is an Ordinary World, without any supernatural power."
"Does that mean our world really contains supernatural forces?" Yan Zhicheng had a strong intuition about the first descending rule.
"I think it should exist." Mu Rufeng nodded in agreement.
There was no doubt about it, as Mu Rufeng himself was a supernatural being.
"I hope the next rule will be beneficial, and not some apocalypse or dead people; otherwise, the new book I just published will die before it even takes off." Yan Zhicheng prayed.
He had been publishing for a week, with thirty thousand words now, and it got its first recommendation round at two o’clock yesterday afternoon, with explosive results.
Although his writing wasn’t as good as some authors, the subject matter and imaginative concept were strong.
Compared to the first recommendation round of all categories across the entire site, the average increase was around two or three hundred.
As for him, he jumped over tenfold, gaining more than five thousand in collections.
With a performance of thirty thousand words, his new book rank soared directly into the top fifty, an extremely terrifying statistic.
According to the editor, as long as he stays steady and strictly follows the outlined plot, this book could definitely be a legend.
"Ten seconds left, we’ll know soon." Mu Rufeng said.
Then, Mu Rufeng and Yan Zhicheng stared at the Capital’s time displayed on the computer webpage, counting down in their hearts.
"10, 9, 8...1!"
It was exactly twelve noon.
"Dong, dong, dong~~!"
The familiar chimes reached their ears.
Accompanying it was the prompt sound beside them.
[New rule this week: Phone in Hand]
[Phone in Hand]: All humans worldwide must keep their phones within a meter of themselves; violators will be unable to use electronic products.
Note: This rule will be implemented in five minutes, and a month later, the rule will be lifted.
"Damn!" Yan Zhicheng blurted out.
"Really, it’s real, damn it, where’s my phone? My phone?" Yan Zhicheng immediately began searching for his phone.
But there was no sign of Yan Zhicheng’s phone on the computer desk.
"When you went for that long bathroom break, did you leave your phone in the restroom?" Mu Rufeng said.
"Oh, right." Yan Zhicheng rushed to the bathroom.
When he came out, he already had his phone in hand.
"Brother Feng, remember to keep your phone in hand too." Yan Zhicheng didn’t forget to remind.
"I won’t forget." Mu Rufeng waved the phone in his hand, smiling as he spoke.
This phone was purchased by Mu Rufeng himself.
A brand called Dami.
This was from the ten thousand he earned while helping Yan Zhicheng win in the PK team this week, splitting five thousand each.
Originally, Yan Zhicheng wanted to gift Mu Rufeng a phone, but Mu Rufeng refused, deciding to buy it himself instead.
"This rule is too ridiculous. If the phone is more than a meter away, it’s against the rules; if someone takes your phone and throws it, you’re automatically a violator."
"Once you violate it, you can’t use electronic products. If you really can’t use them, it’s worse than death." Yan Zhicheng complained.
"Although it is indeed absurd, at least it doesn’t endanger our lives, and most importantly, this rule will only last for a month." Mu Rufeng said.
Mu Rufeng was quite surprised by this rule.
After all, Mu Rufeng really thought that a terribly dangerous rule would show up, and this one even expires in a month.
