Rules Strange Tales: SSS Talent? I Play With Them All

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...

Chapter 141 In the end, the gamble was wrong.

"Ah, it's Mr. Berland, hello."

The three came from a small country. Regardless of their true thoughts, they dared not offend Beland of the Iron Tower Country on the surface. This was the stark reality. Even if their country's number one ghost storyteller came here, he would have to speak to Beland with utmost respect.

The difference in their social status is like a chasm. Keep in mind that this is being broadcast live. If they kill Beland here in front of the whole world, then who knows who might kill them when they return to the real world.

Of course, their abilities were not enough to kill Beland.

"Want this card? I can give you a chance."

All three looked on with suspicion, clearly not believing that Berland would be so kind.

"Look at the disbelieving looks on your faces, the three of you. Of course there's a price to pay, and I'm not going to give it to you for nothing."

Berland patted the leader on the shoulder: "I'm usually very polite to useful people. I remember your name is... Worsney?"

“Yes, that’s right, Mr. Berland, it’s an honor that you know my name.”

Vosni was somewhat flattered. People like them were practically invisible in the world of ghost stories, yet a big shot like Beland knew his name.

"Not only your name, but I've also watched your live streams. Your talent lies in rule verification, right?"

Vosni nodded. There was no need to hide something that everyone already knew: "Yes, my talent is A-level [Twin Divination]. On the first day, I can check the correctness of the rules once. If I successfully survive the first day, I will get another chance."

If you can survive until the next day, it's equivalent to having two chances to judge right and wrong. This ability isn't considered weak even in the A-level category.

“Looks like I remembered correctly, that’s great.” Berland smiled and handed the VIP card to him. “From now on, this card is yours for half an hour. You can use this card to do anything during this half hour, but remember to return it to me after half an hour.”

"I need you to use your abilities to help me verify the correctness of a rule. This doesn't cost you anything, since you can get the information in the same way, right?"

Berland was shrewd; giving the VIP card directly to someone else would be a mismatch in value, so even if it was a fake, he would only lend it to someone for half an hour.

The time frame isn't the key point; the main point is to highlight the card's rarity. As for whether using the card will be successful or not, what does that matter to him? He's already figured out the right or wrong of the rules, so it's a sure thing.

After careful consideration of the feasibility of the deal, Vosny concluded that Beland's judgment on the verification rules was definitely more accurate than his, and he knew better which rule could influence the situation. Therefore, it was definitely more cost-effective for him to use his abilities himself.

In addition, he could also befriend Berland and get half an hour of VIP treatment, so after only a moment's thought, he nodded.

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Berland."

Choosing Worsley was partly due to the coincidence of meeting him, but the most crucial factor was that his abilities were undeniable.

After he uses his ability, a card will appear in his hand, which will indicate yes or no, or a partial truth or falsehood. This way, he won't be able to just make up an answer to deal with Berland.

"So, Mr. Berland, which rule do you wish to verify?"

"Then let's verify the first rule."

The ability of Worsley stacking cannot analyze the correctness of each rule individually. Therefore, information that is too long, such as the second rule, is definitely half true and half false, and there is no need to verify it.

The shorter the rule, the more likely it is to be verified as true or false!

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

The card says "half true, half false"!

"Interesting, is even this rule only half true?"

So the ship's real name must be "Abyss," but they can't talk about it with the other crew members. As for the other possibility, it's not very likely.

"We can't mention it to the crew, but what about the captain? Or is there another force on this ship besides the captain, crew, and tourists?"

"Alright, this card is yours for the next half hour. Come find me here in half an hour."

"Yes, Mr. Berland!"

Jiang Ran watched their every move on the monitor. They really managed to make the most of this useless card. They were quite a bunch of talented people!

"If this surveillance camera can even clearly hear the sound, that's really terrifying."

No sound is transmitted when monitoring multiple areas at the same time, but if only the image from a single surveillance camera is viewed, the sound can be heard clearly.

The monitoring function alone is enough for this VIP status to allow him to know most of the information while sitting in his room!

"So, are several names in the Abyss keys to triggering some crucial plot point? Let's wait and see."

After receiving the VIP card, Worsley was overjoyed: "Haha, Jiang Ran from the Dragon Kingdom, I've caught up with you too!"

He seemed to see surveillance cameras in the VIP lounge. Even if he did nothing for half an hour, that thing alone would be enough for him to learn a lot of information!

This trade was a win-win situation!

The other two beside him also began to fawn over him. After all, this was something he had earned through his talent and ability. If they wanted to follow him, they would have no choice but to shamelessly follow suit!

"Let's get this straight first, if the three of us form an alliance, I'll be the boss!"

"Of course, of course!"

"If you can't get into the VIP room, there's nothing I can do, since we only have one card."

Their observers didn't pay much attention to the color relationship between the red and black cards, because apart from the color, the card was almost identical to Jiang Ran's card. Perhaps the VIP cards were designed to ensure the uniqueness of VIP status, so each person had a different color?

Everyone is actually gambling, betting that this card will work. If he uses the hint opportunity again to hint at the Worsley stack, it's like he's wasted two hint opportunities and accomplished nothing. If the card still works under these circumstances, then he'll be devastated.

"Haha! The VIP room! Your distinguished VIP guest, Worthney, has arrived!"

"How dare you impersonate a distinguished VIP guest! Die!"

In the end, he made the wrong bet.
