There is One New Rule Every Month Globally-Chapter 542 - 365: The first shutdown update!_3

"If that's the case, the bug should be fixed very quickly, and the announcement panel will switch back from a server downtime update to a non-downtime update in a matter of minutes."

"But the Snow Sea Project Team told me that the likelihood of this happening is almost negligible because the underlying code of the game wouldn't have such a foolish error."

"Then there's only the second possibility."

"It means we've really caught up, the first ever server downtime update for the game just happened to be during our time."

"What exactly will happen is a total unknown."

"The Snow Sea Project Team is also clueless about what's going on, and they're frantically investigating the cause of this event — no one knows what's going to happen next."

The words fell into silence.

The Tuberculosis Rabbit, who had been enthusiastically discussing the rules of the month with Sword Without End, suddenly lost the bounce in his expression and frowned for a long time before saying, "Only games need to shut down for updates, and generally speaking, games that do shut down for updates often have a massive amount of changes to implement."

"And to take some time to sort through the shit mountain of code."

"What's most important now is what are we? Players? Will we lose our props when we log back in? Or are we NPCs? If we're NPCs, might we never get the chance to log in again and end up getting deleted as obsolete data during the update?"

The Tuberculosis Rabbit clearly seemed anxious, and Sword Without End was wearing the same expression, everybody was filled with fear of the unknown for this server downtime update.

Good luck or bad luck...

No need to guess, this thing didn't look like it was about to bring any luck.

"Perhaps, we no longer need to guess."

Chen Yi stood on the seaside, taking a cigarette out of his pocket and bringing it to his lips. He lit it slowly and exhaled a stream of smoke before gazing at the ever-changing horizon and murmuring, "If I'm not mistaken, the whole of Blue Star might pause for a while, but there's no specific timing for it."

With that said,

Tuberculosis Rabbit and Sword Without End, among others, looked in the direction Chen Yi was facing, and they all gaped, seemingly at a loss.

They only saw in the skyline,

A vast white ring of light was sweeping towards them at a high speed. Everything touched by the white ring of light became pixelated and frozen in place.

A three-meter-high sea wave suddenly stopped in mid-air, filled with pixel-like blocks, looking just like something out of Minecraft, and appeared quite unreal.

Including seagulls mid-flight and crabs struggling to climb the beach.

Even players sitting in beach chairs reading the rules.

Even the air hung motionless, pixelated into blocks.

The server downtime update has begun.

As the white light enveloped Chen Yi and others, he only had time to curse, "Fuck, it's a global time-stop, this is what a server downtime update is, don't fucking bring someone who can move freely during this!"

"I'm genuinely worried about this," he added.

Chen Yi was the first to pull Jiaye into his arms, guarding against the possibility that a player could ignore the rules and move freely while the world was frozen — it wasn't something that couldn't happen.

Before the arrival of the game update,

He knew there were quite a few movies with this theme, apparently popular with many viewers.

But as he was engulfed in the white light and lost a moment, an extremely terrifying possibility flashed through Chen Yi's mind, and he subconsciously covered his own backside.

Damn!

He was a Playboy now, his attractiveness to the same sex greatly increased!

He protected Jiaye, but he couldn't let himself be left unprotected, right!

Fuck, if anyone dared to touch him, he'd dig up their ancestors back to the eighteenth generation and soak them in copper water!

And then—

The white ring of light swiftly skimmed over Chen Yi and his companions, speeding towards the edge of the sky. Everything it passed fell still and turned pixelated, including the players.

November 1st.

Blue Star undertook its first ever server downtime update, which would also be the first server downtime update for the game itself.
