Chapter 604 [(*^▽^*)]

Lin Leyou took out the item card and was about to activate it when Xue Rui contacted him again, "I found it!"

Lin Leyou blinked, "Huh?"

Xue Rui said, "I've found out what the unknown rules of death are."

Lin Leyou swallowed hard. "What is it?"

Xue Rui: "You can't walk backwards."

Lin Leyou: "I can't go back?! Is there a prompt?"

Xue Rui: "That's right, I can't go back. If I want to move, I can only move forward, left, or right. If I want to move backward, I have to turn around first and then move."

Lin Leyou, “...cannot eat candy, cannot retreat.”

Xue Rui said, "You should try it too. First, think about what actions you want to take, and then quickly do all the actions. You must save time. I think this prop will definitely be very useful later."

Lin Leyou agreed, then listed out all the actions he was going to do, and then opened the item card. However, after performing the series of actions, no prompt was triggered.

He turned off the usage time of the prop card. He had just spent five minutes going through all the actions he would do in his daily life, but there were no problems. If it wasn't an action, then there would be trouble.

After all, if he can't eat certain things, what if he can't eat lychees or other unusual foods? Where would he find them?

And it could also be vegetables, meat, other fruits, or seasonings, etc. What should you do after trying these things little by little?

Lin Leyou told Xue Rui about her situation, "I've tried every action I can think of, but there's just no response. What do you think..."

Xue Rui said, "Since that's the case, let's put it aside for now. There are a few other rules..."

Lin Leyou realized what was happening: "Article Six stipulates that only rules can be used to kill."

Xue Rui squinted at the bustling crowd outside. In just a short time, a night market had sprung up on the street, and the number of people had increased so much.

"Yes, we can interpret the meaning of this rule in reverse. The fact that you can only kill by the rules means that it is normal for someone to break the rules and die here."

Lin Leyou: "Then do you think there might be a hidden mission where you kill people using the rules, and once you reach a certain number, you can complete the mission and get a special reward?"

Xue Rui said, "There must be. And... if it's just about surviving for seven days, and there's enough food in the house, then the participants can stay at home and not go out, easily surviving for seven days. Is this how you clear the dungeon? Impossible."

Lin Leyou had a sudden inspiration: "Could there be a rule related to this?"

Xue Rui, "You mean Article 9 or Article 10?"

Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "Yes, as long as there are no special rules, everyone can indeed stay at home and not go out. Even if there is no food at home, given our physical condition, we can survive on water for seven days. But this is definitely not the difficulty of a 3S-level dungeon main quest."

Xue Rui: "That's too simple, so there must be mandatory regulations that force us to leave our homes and go out to do something."

Lin Leyou asked uncertainly, "Is it mandatory for everyone who enters the Kingdom of Rules to kill a certain number of people using the rules here, so that they can leave when the time comes? Otherwise, when the time comes, it's not about completing the mission, but about dying? Killing without using the rules is considered violating the rules?"

Xue Rui silently recited this sentence in his mind: "Killing someone without following the rules is breaking the rules."

Lin Leyou: "What do you think?"

He slowly sat down on the sofa and leaned back comfortably. The sofa was just as comfortable as the one in the living room of the Happiness Community. As long as you didn't look outside, it really felt like being at home, which made you very relaxed.

Xue Rui: "I think it's possible, I'll give it a try."

Lin Leyou's lips curled into a smile. "Let's try it together. I just don't know if there will be any punishment if we guess wrong."

Xue Rui: "Punishment... ask the system."

Lin Leyou blinked. "Right, I can ask. Anyway, I won't lose anything if the system doesn't answer." He immediately asked his system this question.

"System notification: One million points will be deducted for guessing the rules incorrectly!"

Lin Leyou was silent for a while. After the two of them guessed the eighth rule, the system notified all the participants. They must be guessing randomly now. Haven't quite a few people already had a million points deducted?

The residents are alright; they all definitely have a lot of points. After all, they all came for the S-rank dungeon in the first place, which has rewards of several million. They should at least have several million points in their accounts just in case.

The players are the ones who suffer the most, except for Xue Rui.

Lin Leyou was certain that the other players wouldn't have more than five million points, which meant five chances! If they guessed wrong five times, they'd be out of the game very soon.

Especially... this time they can only win, not lose. If they lose, they will lose 1 billion points. Are you kidding me? Where would they get 1 billion points?

Even the wealthy Lin Leyou can't come up with 1 billion points right now!

Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief, "Guessing wrong will deduct one million points."

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment after receiving the message. "My system didn't answer me."

Lin Leyou paused for a moment, then said, "Really? Then... maybe I'm just easier to talk to?"

Xue Rui had no choice but to agree, "...deduct one million points."

Lin Leyou said, "Since that's the case, I'll give it a try. After all, this is what I came up with."

Xue Rui: "One million isn't much, I'll take it, you wait."

Lin Leyou smiled silently, "Alright then."

Xue Rui directly submitted his guess about the ninth or tenth rule to the system: "System, one of the unknown rules of the Rule Kingdom is that everyone in the Rule Kingdom must use the rules to kill others, otherwise they will violate the rules and be killed by the rules."

The system responded quickly.

"System notification: Ten minutes have passed. Rule number eight of the Rule Kingdom is unknown: Do not wear red clothes out at night. Please remember this."

All participants received this message. Xue Rui was a little nervous when he first heard the system notification, but he didn't expect it to be... But then again, ten minutes had indeed passed.

Xue Rui waited a while longer, and sure enough, another notification appeared.

"System notification: Congratulations to player Xue Rui for discovering the tenth rule of the Rule Kingdom. All those who enter the Rule Kingdom must kill ten people within the specified time using the rules! Reward: 10 million points. The item Rule Invalidation Card can be used for one hour. Keep up the good work."

Xue Rui told Lin Leyou about it immediately, and Lin Leyou submitted the idea to the system right away, successfully obtaining points and items.

Just then, the system notification sounded again, this time informing all participants.

"System prompt: Rule number ten of the Rule Kingdom has been discovered by two participants. The reward is ten million points and a certain item. There are now ten minutes left. The participants who discover the tenth rule within ten minutes will receive the same reward. This rule will not be announced. Please explore it on your own."

Even a fool should know that a 3S difficulty dungeon definitely has mandatory quests; you can't just hide in a safe place and wait seven days to successfully complete it.

Xue Rui: "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

Lin Leyou's expression was somewhat grim. "We should explore all the unknown rules as soon as possible, otherwise our actions will be greatly restricted. The unknown is the most terrifying thing."

Xue Rui: "Well, it's a bit surprising that Article 10 wasn't released."

Lin Leyou: "I guess many of the participants are thinking of staying home for seven days. If we announce their identities, wouldn't they risk going out to kill people?"

Then he thought of something else, "By the way, Xiao Rui, for the next seven days, unless you cook it yourself, don't eat anything else."

Xue Rui, "Hmm?"

Lin Leyou: "Don't you say you can't eat sweets? Who knows if there's sugar added to the things you buy outside?"

Xue Rui blinked. "You...you're right."

There are so many things with added sugar, really so many. It seems that you really can't eat just anything. There's a big rule against eating food given to you by others, so no one will suspect anything when he refuses food offered to him by others.

After all, everyone knows the general rules, and the things he bought were all chosen by himself, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Lin Leyou continued, "The following is the seventh rule: those who are killed by other means can return as evil spirits to seek revenge. It's literal and easy to understand."

Xue Rui, "He returned as a demon to seek revenge, which must be to find the person who killed him."

Lin Leyou said, "I estimate that someone with the strength can withstand it, but it hasn't been said how long this evil spirit will exist. What do you think?"

Xue Rui: "It won't end until I kill the person who killed me."

Lin Leyou: "It seems that in this instance, you absolutely cannot kill people using methods other than the rules."

Xue Rui: "Want to go out for a stroll? I have a night market here."

Lin Leyou certainly wanted to go out, but there was still an unknown rule lying around, and the ninth rule of the Rule Kingdom had not yet been explored.

So, should we go out or not?

Lin Leyou thought for a long time, and finally nodded and went out, "Let's go, let's go out and take a look."

Xue Rui said, "This is a good opportunity to help you test out what your unknown rule is."

Lin Leyou said, "I hope I can find it. I have to activate the rule invalidation card before eating anything outside. Fortunately, I have two hours now."

Lin Leyou said, "By the way, I can use my phone to search the map here. Tell me the location, and I'll search it and come over later."

Xue Rui: "I'll come pick you up."

Lin Leyou: "It's okay, I'll go over there."

He had already changed his shoes. As he placed his hand on the doorknob to open the door, he suddenly paused, then opened the invalid rule card, opened the door, walked out, closed the door, and deactivated the invalid rule card.

Very good, opening and closing the door is not the issue.
