Jiang Ran's soul swapped with his parallel world self, and he arrived in a strange world of rules. Amidst rules that are hard to distinguish between true and false, and a succession of ill-inte...
"Hmm... The world of ghost stories, that's really bad news."
Jiang Ran sat on the sofa and sighed helplessly.
He was just an ordinary citizen on Earth, but unexpectedly, while playing a game, he was transported to a similar world—Blue Star.
This world is spatially connected to the world of ghost stories. As long as the country sends people to explore the world of ghost stories, they can obtain ghost story coins, which can then be exchanged for various key items that can accelerate the country's technological development!
The state hires people with huge sums of money, and these people are called "ghost story tellers"!
Jiang Ran's predecessor was the only supernatural storyteller in the Dragon Kingdom with an SSS-level talent. He acquired this talent in the previous supernatural world, and its effect was—
Enter a parallel world without supernatural tales and enjoy bliss. It's guaranteed to be in a superpower without war, where the soul of the replaced person will take your place.
That's right, he ran away, and Jiang Ran was the unlucky guy.
Although his predecessor gained a lot of money and fame through the world of ghost stories, he had had enough of living in fear and danger of losing his life at any time in the world of ghost stories, so it is no wonder that he was so decisive.
Once a ghost storyteller signs a contract with the state, they must perform in the ghost story world at least once a month until they reach the retirement age of 40.
This body belongs to a young man in his twenties named Jiang Ran, no wonder he was chosen.
[Jiang Ran, a ghost storyteller from the Dragon Kingdom, has successfully connected to the S-level ghost story world, "The Mysterious Apartment," but has not yet cleared it. There has been one other ghost storyteller who has challenged it before.]
At the same time, the scenes from the ghost story world were also simultaneously displayed on the live stream screen. Countless high-ranking officials and netizens of the Dragon Kingdom watched the screen. The person in front of them was the only ghost story master in the Dragon Kingdom with an SSS-level talent, so the number of viewers was the largest!
"Go, Brother Jiang! Let's take over this world!"
"Brother Jiang! I want to have your babies!"
"I heard that Sato Akaishi from Japan came to challenge this world full of confidence yesterday, but he didn't even survive the first day!"
"Hahaha, that trash is only an A-level talent. How can he be compared to my Brother Jiang's SSS-level talent?"
A barrage of comments scrolled across the top of the screen, but of course Jiang Ran couldn't see them.
From the moment you enter the world of ghost stories, each ghost storyteller only has three chances to receive hints from outside the game, and after that, they can only go it alone until they clear the game!
Victory means a huge sum of money, defeat means instant ruin!
Because the entire Ghost Stories World program was broadcast live, the eyes of people all over the world were focused on the Japanese live stream yesterday, hoping to get some important information. But who would have thought that their challenger would be gone on the first day?
The more people challenge a ghost story world, the less reward they will receive upon completion. Once a ghost story master completes a world, that world will be permanently closed.
【Rule 1*: Please protect the fish in the aquarium from being possessed by something eerie, otherwise terrible things will happen at night】
[Rule 2: You may go to the balcony, but please do not move anything there.]
This is the first day of the Ghost Story World, and only two rules have been announced. The rules marked with an asterisk are always correct. There aren't many such rules, but revealing the truth can still be deadly!
Jiang Ran quickly digested the original owner's memories in his mind. These were all valuable experiences that directly affected whether Jiang Ran could pass the level!
Yesterday, the ghost story teller from Japan died because of the first rule. The kid went to great lengths to hide the fish tank in the toilet, but less than two minutes later, a ghostly hand emerged from the toilet and crushed the fish tank!
He also died during the night's onslaught of a hundred ghosts.
Just as Jiang Ran was pondering the two rules, the ghost story tellers of Japan once again launched their challenge against the eerie apartment!
This time, the ghost story teller they sent out was Sato Hiten, who possessed S-rank talent!
"Just wait, I will avenge my brother!"
A large number of Japanese accounts flooded into the live stream of China, prompting netizens to exclaim that it was bad luck.
"Pah! They're definitely trying to steal information from my brother Jiang, a bunch of shameless bastards!"
Sato Hitachi entered the world not much later than Jiang Ran, so he naturally saw those two rules very quickly.
"Was my brother killed because of this rule?"
He picked up the fish tank, pondering where he should hide it.
Currently, toilets are the first place to be ruled out.
At the same time, Jiang Ran had already carried the fish tank to the kitchen.
Lin Changqing, the observer of the Dragon Kingdom Strange Tales World, nodded. The toilet had been ruled out, and most of the other rooms were locked. The kitchen was indeed an excellent hiding place, and Jiang Ran's carrying of a fish tank also showed his caution.
"As expected of one of the top ghost story writers in our Dragon Kingdom, this skill is truly gratifying to me."
"Hahaha! See that? Our Brother Jiang has already figured out the next move, while your so-called Ritian is still standing there in a daze!"
The next moment, all the comments fell silent!
Jiang Ran suddenly grabbed the fish out of the fish tank and slammed it onto the cutting board. With a flick of his right hand, he chopped the fish into eight pieces!
"Um... I remember I clicked on the ghost story live stream, not the cooking competition, right?"
"Brother Jiang must have a serious illness to do this."
After a brief silence, the live stream exploded with comments, especially from Japan, who launched a barrage of sarcastic remarks: "Hahaha! The rules say to protect the fish, and you just cut it into eight pieces to show off your knife skills? Does this guy from China not know what the asterisks represent?"
In the video, Jiang Ran has already started cooking and, in front of everyone, made a deep-fried golden fish. He then placed it on the table and ate it bite by bite.
"This art style is off."
"Who goes to the world of ghost stories without being careful and afraid of getting something on them? But you, do you really think that eating is the most important thing in the world?"
After finishing a plate of fish, Jiang Ran continued to lie idly on the sofa. In fact, in the world of ghost stories, as long as you don't break the rules, you are absolutely safe. In many cases, it's just that the ghost storyteller is too nervous.
On the other side, Sato Hiten also made his own choice. He squatted under the table, hugging the fish tank, and looked around warily.
"They're here! They're here!"
A pitch-black ghostly hand emerged from the shadow, its icy touch slowly caressing Sato Hitsuten. This startled him, and he suddenly rolled over, causing a large amount of water in the fish tank to overflow, choking him and making him cough heavily!
Meanwhile, Ghost Hand quickly grabbed the fish during this time and crushed it into minced meat!
No one was paying attention to Sato Riten, because Jiang Ran was experiencing the same situation!
Jiang Ran crossed his legs and watched as a ghostly hand swiftly attacked!
Lin Changqing's heart was in his throat!
