"Refreshing at midnight? That's going to be the death of me!"

A phone call woke Jiang Ran from his deep sleep. Due to the randomness of the refresh time of the Rules of Strange Tales, this caused him a lot of trouble!

"Aha~ Uncle Lin, have people from other countries already gone in? Is this a solo dungeon or a raid?"

"It's a team project. Several people have already joined. Even if you rest a little longer, you can catch up, so there's no rush."

Jiang Ran quickly tidied herself up and came to Lin Changqing. At this moment, the Strange Tales World was showing 11/30, and it was still 19 people short of being full.

"Xiao Ran, we have another kid here who also wants to enter this world. He's an S-rank ghost storyteller, so I'm sure he won't hold you back."

"His name is Zhuge the Divine Calculator!"

"Oh? Zhuge Shensuan? Did he just recently rise to S-rank? I don't think I've heard of him before." Jiang Ran was a little surprised. Did he even get a teammate specially assigned to him this time? "Zhuge Shensuan, is he a member of the legendary Zhuge family? Sounds very reliable!"

"He is indeed a member of the Zhuge clan, but as for his reliability... well, he's already here. You two young people can talk it over later."

Soon, a burly man, about two meters tall and wearing sunglasses, walked over.

"Oh! This is Brother Zhuge's bodyguard? He looks quite robust. Where is Brother Zhuge? Did he go to the restroom?"

"Worldly prejudices are always so strong!" Zhuge the Divine Calculator took off his sunglasses and smoothed his shiny hair. "Why do people always think that someone with the surname Zhuge must be intelligent? Alas, it's really a burden on me!"

Jiang Ran's smile froze on her face.

No way, then why the hell do you call yourself "Zhuge the Divine Calculator"?!

Zhuge Shensuan seemed to have seen through Jiang Ran's thoughts and could only smile awkwardly: "After all, before I was born, my father still had high hopes for me."

"You two need to give us a good hand in this raid. All the other countries definitely see us as their number one enemy, so be extremely careful!"

"Okay, Uncle Lin!"

The two then entered the world of ghost stories!

[Jiang Ran, a ghost storyteller from the Dragon Kingdom, has successfully connected to the S-level ghost story world, Abyss Cruise, but has not yet cleared it. A total of 11 ghost storytellers have previously challenged it.]

[The Dragon Kingdom's ghost story master Zhuge Shensuan has successfully connected to the S-level ghost story world, Abyss Cruise, but has not yet cleared it. A total of 12 ghost story masters have previously challenged it.]

The moment Jiang Ran appeared, it caused a stir among the surrounding ghost storytellers, but this was not unexpected, so they quickly calmed down.

Each country quickly sent its own ghost story writers to the world, and the 30-person team was finally full. Jiang Ran also looked at the ghost story writers from other countries.

The Northern Alliance sent two people this time, one of whom was a familiar face, Weipus. This guy has been working hard in A and B-level ghost stories for the past few months, and finally he has come to challenge the S-level ghost story world again this time!

However, this guy was lucky enough to acquire SS-level talent, which means he has entered the ranks of truly top-tier ghost story tellers.

Two people from White Eagle also came this time, one of whom was an old acquaintance of Jiang Ran, the SS-level mystery tale master Alansta. His ability was briefly revealed in the last mystery world, and it seems to be the power to manipulate fire.

Everyone was next to a huge swimming pool, which was on a giant cruise ship!

Beyond that lies the boundless ocean!

Sunlight bathed everyone, a gentle breeze blew by, and the surrounding facilities gave them the illusion of being on vacation. So far, they had not found any dangerous places.

Gwen appeared beside Jiang Ran in an instant, startling Zhuge Shensuan so much that he almost punched her directly!

"Don't rush, don't rush, we're on the same side... or maybe that's not quite right, we're on the same side!"

"Huh?! You want to have a go?!"

Just as Gwen was about to pull out the large scissors behind her, Jiang Ran received a prominent notification!

[Note: If your contracted supernatural entity attacks and seriously injures or kills another supernatural storyteller, you will immediately lose your qualification to complete this supernatural world.]

Sure enough, this bug isn't so easy to exploit. Without this restriction, Gwen could kill everyone else all by herself. Just kidding, even if you brought the world boxing champion over, you still couldn't beat her!

A burst of static came over the loudspeaker, followed by a lifeless voice that echoed throughout the ship.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the 'Arthur'! I am Captain Planck!"

"I hope everyone has a great seven-day trip. The Arthur will provide you with plenty of food and entertainment to satisfy you. It must be fate that we met on the vast ocean."

Rule 1: The ship's name is "Arthur," not "Abyss." Please do not discuss the second name with the crew.

[Rule 2: You can completely trust the crew members wearing white uniforms. Crew members in blue uniforms serve VIPs only, and crew members in red uniforms serve crew members only. Please note that there are no crew members wearing black uniforms. If you encounter such a person, please stay away from him as much as possible.]

Rule 3: Food in the restaurant will be replenished regularly, so please feel free to take as much as you like. However, please be mindful of food waste and try to avoid getting food from places other than the restaurant. Please note that all food on this cruise ship is self-service; no crew member will bring you food unless you specifically request it.

[Rule 4: Fishing facilities are available on the cruise ship, but please use the simulated fishing area on the cruise ship for recreational purposes only. Do not engage in direct sea fishing.]

[Rule 5: This itinerary has been meticulously calculated and will absolutely not encounter storms or other severe weather, so please feel free to enjoy your trip. If you do encounter such weather, please believe that you are hallucinating and immediately go to your room to rest.]

[Rule Six: Guests may choose any unoccupied room in the residential area. However, to ensure the privacy of other guests, please do not force your way into someone else's room without an invitation.]

[Rule Seven: Please do not disturb Captain Planck in the captain's cabin at any time. You will not see him outside the captain's cabin. Captain Planck will communicate with everyone through the intercom at any time.]

Rule 8: Our crew will ensure the safety of our guests, so please prioritize your own safety no matter what happens and do not jump into the sea! Do not jump into the sea! Do not jump into the sea!

On the first day, a total of eight rules were announced. Wips smiled helplessly. Why are there always so many rules every time he enters an S-class world?
