Resources are monopolized, what can I do about my unlimited access card?

"I'll take the first half of the night watch, and you take the second half," Luo Yuerao said to Gu Ye in a serious tone. The two quickly finalized the night watch arrangement.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Ye nodded and replied, "Okay!"

After saying that, Gu Ye got up and went to the inner room, where he lay down on the bed fully clothed.

Although it was supposed to be a rest day, we remained vigilant at all times, because there was no absolute safety in this eerie village.

Luo Yue Rao watched his disappearing figure, her eyes filled with curiosity. The strange armor and the delicate woman with an eerie aura both showed that he was different.

The curiosity in her eyes grew stronger.

Composing herself, Luo Yueyao sat cross-legged at the octagonal table in the courtyard, a faint energy fluctuation swirling around her. Her eyes warily scanned the surroundings of the courtyard, quietly guarding this relatively peaceful little house.

The first half of the night passed in a flash. Before the first hint of dawn appeared on the horizon, Luo Yuerao tiptoed to the door of the inner room and softly called out:

"Gu Ye, it's your turn to keep watch."

"Ha—woo~~~"

Gu Ye yawned deeply, rubbed his sleepy eyes, nodded slowly, and got up to walk out of the inner room.

He slept relatively soundly. Luo Yuerao had kept a good watch during the first half of the night, and there were no strange noises. Luo Yuerao didn't linger and went straight into the inner room, where she soon heard soft breathing.

Gu Ye walked to the center of the courtyard, looked around, and his expression gradually became serious.

He stood guard for about an hour, and just as all was quiet, a "hissing" sound suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate, mixed with a few greedy and excited "crunching" chewing sounds, which were jarring and eerie, and particularly clear in the silent night.

Gu Ye's heart stirred. He walked quietly to the courtyard gate, turned slightly to the side, and looked out through the crack in the wooden door.

Several hunched-over, gray-black, rotting night corpses sat slumped on the steps by the door, their claws gripping a bloody human leg, gnawing at it frantically. Dark red blood dripped from their mouths, pooling on the ground and emitting a pungent, fishy stench.

Perhaps sensing Gu Ye's gaze, the few Night Corpse Monsters suddenly stopped chewing at the same time, stiffly turned their heads, their empty eye sockets filled with black voids, staring straight at the crack in the wooden door, making eerie "hoarse" sounds from their throats.

Gu Ye's lips twitched, and he gave a token greeting, "Hi!"

"Bang—!"

Several small, undead night zombies slammed against the door, blood dripping from their mouths, howling as they tried to reach their hands through the crack in the door.

"Wow, that's brutal."

Gu Ye raised an eyebrow slightly, his face showing no sign of panic, only his eyes narrowed slightly as he said in a deep voice, "Daiyu!"

"This humble servant is here!" Lin Daiyu appeared beside Gu Ye. The two of them stared coldly at the violently shaking wooden door without making a move.

"Clang—Crack—!"

As the little monsters pounded on it, cracks began to appear on the wooden door, and finally, unable to withstand the weight, the door shattered into several pieces.

Gu Ye's eyes narrowed, and he coldly shouted, "Daiyu, now!"

"These little devils are so annoying, I'll kill you all."

The eerie willow branch emanating from Lin Daiyu's hand fell to the ground with a "thud," creating a small crater.

【Evil Willow Strike】!

Lin Daiyu held the Evil Willow in one hand and swung it fiercely at several small monsters.

Upon seeing this, the little ghosts of the night let out a "hehe~" laugh, as if mocking Lin Daiyu's overestimation of her abilities.

They made no precautions when Xie Liu approached, seemingly unafraid of death.

Indeed, the Night Corpse Ghosts are one of the village's rule ghosts; they appear in groups every night.

Moreover, at night, they will have the rule of immortality, but not the rule of killing, though they are the same.

The village has a rule against going out at night because as long as the Night Corpse Ghosts don't look at you, they won't harm you.

Behind every regulation lies a bloody lesson.

The reflection of the evil willow branch that Lin Daiyu waved was in the pupils of the little ghosts. The trunk of the evil willow branch struck one of the night corpse little ghosts, and with a "bang", it turned into minced meat.

The other little monsters revealed eerie smiles. They waited for a long time, but their companion still hadn't returned to normal.

Fear gradually filled their eyes, and then someone shouted, and the little monsters scattered and fled.

But the alley is just a straight passage; where can they possibly go?

Lin Daiyu quickly caught up with them, killing each of the little monsters and willows that came at night.

After collecting the card-making materials they dropped, Lin Daiyu quickly returned to Gu Ye's side.

There were several cards that Gu Ye had never seen before. Gu Ye randomly picked one out and began to examine it.

Card: [Rule Fragment]

Quality: [Purple]

Introduction: The Night Corpse Clan, born from corpses, wreaks havoc on the region by virtue of their immortality.

"So this is the fragment of rules that Sister Mu was talking about? There's nothing special about it."

Gu Ye looked at the shattered wooden door in front of him, scratched his head, and didn't know what to do.

"Is that a [Fragment of Rules] in your hand?" At this moment, Luo Yuerao's voice rang out from behind Gu Ye.

Gu Ye turned to look at her. The sounds of the battle must have woken her up; she looked sleepy.

Her already alluring face appeared even more rosy, perhaps because she had just woken up, like a red apple, making one want to take a bite.

"right!"

Hearing Gu Ye's words, Luo Yuerao was no longer sleepy. She quickly walked up to him and carefully asked:

"May I take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ye reached out and handed her the card.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yueyao was taken aback. After realizing what was happening, she quickly took the card and examined it.

Luo Yueyao was absolutely certain that this was a [Fragment of Rules]. She looked up at Gu Ye with hopeful eyes and asked weakly:

"Can you sell me these [rule fragments]?"

Gu Ye asked in confusion, "Tell me first what the [Rule Fragments] are used for."

Luo Yueyao was taken aback. "You didn't know?"

Gu Ye shook his head.

"You're not from a prominent family?"

Gu Ye shook his head again, offering no further explanation.

"That's understandable. After all, one of the purposes of most of the aristocratic families entering Tianding Mountain this time is for the fragments of rules."

Luo Yuerao rubbed the edge of the card between her fingers, composed herself, and explained to Gu Ye:

"【Rule Fragments】 are essential for crafting rule-based cards."

She paused, then added, her tone serious:

"But that's just its most common use. Its real value lies in evolving legendary cards and crafting legendary cards."

Whether evolving cards into legendary cards or directly crafting legendary cards, [Rule Fragments] are indispensable core materials, rare and precious.

Having learned this information, Gu Ye stared intently at Luo Yue Rao, "So, what price are you willing to pay for the [Rule Fragment]?"

A hint of difficulty flashed in Luo Yueyao's eyes. After all, [Rule Fragments] were extremely rare. Even the Luo family, one of the ten great families of the capital, did not have many [Rule Fragments] in their treasure vault.

Luo Yuerao came up with a compromise that would benefit neither side.

"One purple card-making material can be exchanged for five [rule fragments]. You can make any request for the purple card-making material, is that alright?" Luo Yuerao looked at Gu Ye cautiously, afraid that he might have some dissatisfaction.
