The Nineteenth Doomsday Rule Symposium

Forty-Nine Doomsday Rules

The Nineteenth Doomsday Rule Symposium was in full swing.

Little Grass: "Day four of talks, let's begin now!"

Dialoguer (smiling): "Yes, children, I'm back on stage."

Everyone: "..."

Guan Tong (serious face): "Do I need to devour this alien intelligence?"

Adam: "I have no objections."

Silver Fox: "I have no objections either."

Dialoguer: "I'm here to attend the meeting. What are you trying to do?"

Little Grass: "I said hold on, everyone, let's just talk about the plot."

Scarface (standing up and bowing): "Ladies and gentlemen, my first appearance—I hope I won't get written off too soon."

Mary: "Pay back the money you extorted first!"

Gao Liangwei & Torafuto: "Agreed."

Scarface: "Uhh... a few million is just pocket change for all of you."

Han Qiu: "As everyone knows, villains in various works usually come in groups of three. As one of our villainous trio, you probably won't be taken off the stage that early."

Little Grass: "??? Villainous trio? What the hell, and I didn't know about it?"

Your Holiness: "It looks like this group is made up of me, Han Qiu, and Scarface."

Adam (gesturing with his chin toward Bruce): "I think you've forgotten a heavyweight."

Scarface (smile freezing): "..."

Han Qiu (unfazed): "As everyone knows, a trio usually consists of four people."

Bruce (folding his arms with a dark, disdainful look): "Don't lump me together with you. True villains never stoop to associating with sheep and cattle."

Your Holiness: "Scarface, look—problem solved. Someone voluntarily withdrew from the trio competition."

Scarface: "That's great!"

Little Grass (face full of black lines): "I say, you guys—did you get my approval for forming this group!"

Guan Tong (arms crossed): "Don't worry, I'll step in."

Yelanka (star-eyed): "I, the Ice Magic Swordsman, will provide support!"

Zhang Minglu: "Hah! Every crime will eventually be brought to justice!"

Little Grass (rubbing their forehead): "...Enough of that. I'll have to sum it up. Ahem, like I said at the last meeting, from now on we need to control the length of each rule, unless there's important main plot, no more devoting dozens of chapters to a single rule. This rule is 17 chapters—neither too long nor too short, just right. With two updates a day, we can finish one rule in about a week!"

Guan Tong: "That's about right, but it's also true that we've dug a bunch of new holes. What about the quota for clearance spots, the Fire Thief being neither a program nor an intelligence, the mystery of the Dialoguer's human suit, why the Dialoguer became the main body of a rule, the new planet Meltstar that seems like a hallucination of Mars... I can't even count them all."

Everyone (nodding in unison): "That's right."

Little Grass: "Well... digging holes is one thing, but we're also filling them! For instance, the earlier hole about the missing substance on Tianshui Star, the hole about why some people's Mind Power increased quickly, the semi-hole about the Eden Project... digging and filling, that's how you push the plot forward!"

Yelanka: "Mm-hmm, I strongly agree!"

Sigaochin: "You strongly agree just because you unlocked a new skin in this rule, right..."

Yelanka: "..."

Silver Fox (resting chin on hand): "I'm wondering, why is the skin Yelanka unlocked a green dress?"

Guan Tong: "Look at someone's name and you'll know."

Little Grass (alert): "What do you mean?"

Guan Tong (shrugging): "Grass is green, grass is green."

Everyone: "..."

Little Grass (smiling): "Don't think just because you're the protagonist you can be arrogant. The gods are watching from above!"

Fire Thief (voice echoing in everyone's minds): "Someone thinking about me?"

Everyone: "!!!"

Little Grass: "Damn, a ghost! Meeting adjourned, adjourned!"
