There is One New Rule Every Month Globally-Chapter 446 - 333: "Anyway, it’s all just some bluffing gadgets."_2
```
He could probably see through Li Yi’s plan, which was likely to develop the city into a luxury goods destination for all high net-worth clients from nearby Starfields.
Yes, luxury goods.
Tuberculosis Rabbit, with a face full of emotion, stood outside a mall’s glass wall, looking at the massive transparent glass in front of him, licking his lips momentarily not knowing what to say.
The glass wall in front of him stretched out for hundreds of square meters at a glance.
The mall’s first floor had a lofty ceiling height of more than ten meters.
And within this gigantic glass wall, there was just one exhibit.
Just one exhibit.
It was like going to a meal, being served a huge bowl, and finding it contained only a single grain of rice.
The exhibit appeared to be a tooth, somewhat like ivory, smooth-looking, milky white with a jade-like sheen.
There was no price listed below.
Beside it was a small sign that bore the name of the item.
"Milk Tooth"
Beyond that, there was no textual explanation of what this object was, just this single exhibit on display.
Although this item had no price tag, he knew it must be incredibly expensive.
During his visit, he had seen too many such things—none were Props, nor were they products of leveling up in the game, but often they were handcrafted by different Races and would sell here for sky-high prices.
It was an utterly ridiculous affair.
In a game where leveling up mattered, anything that wasn’t a Prop should theoretically be worthless.
Even more ridiculous was the fact that people actually bought them.
"Dang dang dang!"
At that moment—
A cheerful rhythm of music erupted from the mall called "Emperor Pool," a tune that seemed pleasing and put one in good spirits. Tuberculosis Rabbit, listening to the song, touched his nose and did not speak.
Before arriving here,
The tour guide had mentioned to him that whenever "Emperor Pool" mall’s sales surpassed 100 million Points, this song would be played.
And he had roamed nearby for just under two hours in total, having already heard it twice.
That meant that the Emperor Pool mall had a total sales revenue of at least 200 million Points for the day.
That was at the very least.
After all, he had been here for less than two hours; might the daily sales break the 1 billion mark?
Absolutely ludicrous.
He was aware of Yi’s Points Balance, which was around 52 million, so Yi’s entire fortune couldn’t even prompt the playing of the song.
Should we rob this place?
"Cough."
Realizing that an unsavory thought had popped into his mind, Tuberculosis Rabbit coughed gently into his fist and quickly dismissed the idea. For some reason, he suddenly felt what it was like to be bandits entering a village for the first time.
Everything looked like treasure, everything seemed worth taking.
That wasn’t good.
"Tuberculosis Rabbit."
Meanwhile, Tie Chui, who was staring at the ivory-like item on the glass wall, said somewhat blankly, "This looks like it should be a prohibited item, right? I remember learning something about that somewhere."
"Not exactly."
Tuberculosis Rabbit patted Tie Chui on the back and casually explained, "This thing looks like ivory, and ivory is considered a semi-banned item on Blue Star, but that’s all it does—look like it. The name here is ’Milk Tooth,’ not clear what exactly it is."
"Anyway, it’s just some stuff to bamboozle people."
"To fool the idiots."
Just as Tuberculosis Rabbit was about to move on, a voice beside him, steady and tinged with contempt, suddenly reached his ear.
"To fool the idiots?"
"It’s laughable, don’t confuse ignorance for fearlessness!"
"In the eyes of the poor, anything they can’t afford is a scam targeting fools."
"..."

Tuberculosis Rabbit froze for a moment, then turned to look towards the source of the voice, only to see a middle-aged man in a suit and shoes looking down at him with a trace of scorn. Next to the middle-aged man hung a tall woman in a strapless gown.
The two looked almost like Blue Star People.
The only difference was the man’s dark skin and the three wave-like marks on his forehead.
The woman beside him had a fluffy tail that looked like that of a fox, swaying gently from side to side, highly alluring.
```
"Wow."
Seeing this, Tuberculosis Rabbit couldn’t help but grin and chuckle, "Pretty good at playing, huh? Over at our place, everyone who plays with these butt plug tails does it in private, and there’s only one man who goes around flaunting it."
"Never thought I’d run into another of my kind in Sky City."
"How about I introduce you guys? I have a feeling you’ll get along great."
While waiting for Yi, Chen Yi had nothing but time on his hands, and he didn’t mind teasing someone who came up offering entertainment.
The combination before him was like those clearly defined villainous groups in TV dramas.
The kind that were bound to be slapped in the face.
And as the standoff continued, numerous law enforcement officers, dressed in uniforms and wearing earpieces, began to approach him without expression, subtly closing in on Tuberculosis Rabbit’s side.
The others were unaware.
But these officials of Sky City had all received the order as soon as Tuberculosis Rabbit and his group entered the city: these people were guests of Chief Li, not to be slighted in any way.
Seeing that a conflict was about to arise,
they naturally approached first, to prevent any harm to Chief Li’s guests should the situation escalate seriously.
...
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man standing across from Tuberculosis Rabbit noticed the slow encroachment of the law enforcement officers and a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes. He had long known that Sky City was the most upscale among several cities in the nearby Awesome Starfield.
And his visit today confirmed it.
Just look at this service.
A tiny spark was all it took, and the officers were already positioning themselves to control the scene, a service not found in other cities.
Impressive.
Then, with his mood slightly eased, the middle-aged man looked at the approaching law enforcement officers, waved his arms lightly in the air a few times, and with a smile that carried an air of leadership, said, "Thank you for your hard work. Don’t worry, there won’t be a conflict, my safety isn’t threatened."
"I’m just chatting with this bumpkin."
"..."
"..."
The law enforcement officers who were already in position remained expressionless and silent, inwardly rolling their eyes—who’s worrying about your safety?
If you so much as make a move, today you definitely won’t be leaving Sky City, let alone anything else.
The privileges Chief Li granted these distinguished guests were the highest possible.
What do the highest privileges imply? To put it bluntly, whoever dares to provoke a guest with the highest privileges gets arrested and taken for interrogation.
Those from high-ranking planets with backing might just get fined and let go.
Those from less influential Fourfold Planets could be pulled away to serve life sentences until death.
There’s no helping it. It would be troublesome to go to hell to find someone for a death sentence, and it would introduce too many unstable and uncertain factors. Hence on Awesome Starfield, most people tend to prefer imprisonment as a way to deal with their enemies.
"First of all—"
Feeling like he had the situation under control, the middle-aged man glanced around at the onlookers and straightened his collar before pointing at the ’Milk Tooth’ inside the glass window, beginning his explanation.
"This object is called Milk Tooth, a specialty of the Lisu Tribe; its very birth..."
"..."
As the middle-aged man was waxing eloquent with his explanations, Little Seven and another gamer who were hiding in the crowd exchanged glances, ready to make their move.
Chen Yi wasn’t there.
But by capturing Tuberculosis Rabbit first, Chen Yi would certainly come to the rescue, and then they could catch them all in one fell swoop!
...
The middle-aged man spoke with fervor for five whole minutes.
Then, a bit parched and weary, he turned to Tuberculosis Rabbit: "Do you understand now? Do you realize the value of this item? Is it still something to cheat fools with?"
"Are you from the Lisu Tribe?"
"Indeed."
"I understand now."
Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded thoughtfully, not getting angry. The man had just spent a lot of time introducing the origins of the item, explaining it takes hundreds of years to form and existed even before the level-up game began. It has a scent that could never be erased.
Placed beside the bed, it could serve to purify one’s mind.
However, if that were true, on Blue Star there was no shortage of such items.
Tea leaves, ceramics, and so on.
He wondered if Sky City had them—if not, coupled with Yi’s gimmicks, perhaps Blue Star could also open a marketplace here in Sky City and make a fortune.
