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 258 The Role of Paradise Coins

Each player gets one bullet per turn. Hitting the corresponding balloon earns the corresponding Paradise Coin. This rule never explicitly states that bullets must be loaded into the gun.

As long as the bullet hits, isn't that enough?

After deducting the 50 Paradise Coins that Jiang Ran spent on the game, the rabbit man's balance dropped by 150, which made him turn to look at Jiang Ran.

The ghost storyteller was completely dumbfounded. Could this really be done?

This move is simply... he can't replicate it at all! Don't be fooled by the seemingly simple action of throwing a bullet; it requires extremely high levels of strength and accuracy. For him, it's better to just shoot a gun!

He was quite frustrated because he neither managed to trick Jiang Ran nor made a fortune by copying his homework from him. But he could only insincerely praise, "Brother Jiang Ran is amazing!"

Jiang Ran simply nodded in acknowledgment, showing no intention of engaging in further conversation. He then picked up the second bullet, and with a bang, the second red balloon burst!

Jiang Ran did not stop what she was doing; everything continued until the fifth red balloon on the wall burst, at which point the rabbit man finally couldn't sit still and stood up.

He cleared his throat and leaned closer to Jiang Ran in a fawning manner: "My esteemed friend, I don't know what wind blew you to my humble shop. I am truly honored, but... it's a small business, so I hope you will be lenient!"

With five red balloons, Jiang Ran had already earned a total of 750 Paradise Coins at his stall, while Rabbit Man's balance had fallen below two thousand.

"Look at what you're saying! Aren't I just playing the game according to your rules? Is there something wrong with that?"

Jiang Ran countered with a question to the rabbit-man.

"No, no, no! Of course there's nothing wrong with it!" The rabbit man hurriedly waved his hand. "But if you want to make money, there are plenty of other opportunities. There's no need to waste your precious time in my little shop."

As he spoke, the rabbit-man transferred another 250 Paradise Coins to Jiang Ran, making it a round number of 1000: "You're so kind! If there's anything you need me to do, I promise I'll do it for you without hesitation!"

“250…” Jiang Ran picked up another bullet and fiddled with it in his hand. “It’s not even as much as I would get from firing two bullets. Your sincerity is clearly not enough.”

"Alright!" The rabbit-man patted his chest. "Great master, just tell me what you want, and if it's within my power, I'll definitely get it for you!"

"In that case, how about you take me to meet the owner of this amusement park?"

"This..." The rabbit-man looked troubled. "Great God, you're putting me in a very difficult position. With you, I might only lose a large sum of money, but if I go to that person, we might all lose our lives. I'm doing this for your safety!"

"Then tell me some information that you think I'd be interested in. If it satisfies me, I'll back off, how about it?"

“Information…” The rabbit-man nodded, then shouted sternly at the ghost storyteller, “If you’re not going to fight, then get lost! Some things you can’t just hear whenever you want!”

"All you can do is throw tantrums at me..."

The ghost storyteller muttered to himself, but he knew that it wouldn't be so easy to share information with Jiang Ran without having done anything. If Jiang Ran was determined to get back at him, he wouldn't survive this world.

Having figured this out, he wisely left.

"Alright, all the bystanders have left. Can you speak now?"

"Of course, Master, I'm sure you're doing this to make money too!" The rabbit-man leaned closer and pointed into the distance. "Go through that alley, turn right, turn right, then turn left, and you'll see a place to play escape rooms. That's the place in all the amusement parks where you can earn the most park coins in a single playthrough!"

Jiang Ran flung the bullet in his hand, popping another red balloon!

"Making money is simple for me, like this, so the information you give me had better be even more valuable." Jiang Ran picked up another bullet, smiling at the rabbit-man. "I'm not heartbroken."

"No, no, no! My lord! Please spare me!" The rabbit man hurriedly waved his hands, then sighed, "Why don't you just get straight to the point? What information do you want? How could I dare to hide it from you?"

Jiang Ran had been pondering one thing: what exactly is the greatest use of Paradise Coins? Recalling the previous instance of a similar dungeon, Night Demon City, he realized that the greatest use of Night Coins was to purchase weapons, and various weapons were their biggest trump card for survival and even for clearing the dungeon.

However, the role of Paradise Coins in the rules this time is described too vaguely. The current impression of Paradise Coins is that the more the better, and enough is fine.

"I want to know, what exactly can Paradise Coins be used for?"

If Paradise Coins weren't that important, the Rabbit Man would never have gone to so much trouble negotiating with him.

"This..." The rabbit-man hesitated, unsure whether he didn't want to say it or couldn't say it. Jiang Ran raised his hand, and the rabbit-man immediately grabbed Jiang Ran!

"No, no, no! Master! I'll talk! I'll talk, okay?!"

The rabbit-like man looked around and carefully lowered his voice: "Master, do you know about the terrifying night tonight?"

[Rule 1: Welcome to the Horror Park! We are committed to providing the best service to all our guests. Please make sure you are well-rested during the day so you have enough energy to participate in the Night Horror Night activities.]

"I know, so what?"

"I can't say much, you know, sir, otherwise the higher-ups would probably come looking for me."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense and just tell me what you can say."

"Okay, okay, great master, there are only 3 points I can tell you."

"First, never let your park coins be the fewest among everyone in the amusement park, and never spend all your park coins at once!"

"Secondly, before night falls, you'd better not lose even a single Paradise Coin, and try to earn as many Paradise Coins as possible. To be honest, I'm quite surprised by the number of Paradise Coins you have now. You could even find a place to rest. Of course, the more money the better."

"Third, here, neither people nor trickery are trustworthy, but money is. Money can not only buy things, but also lives—not just your own life, but also the lives of others."

"Master... that's all I can say. Could you please put down that bullet and let's talk this out?"

The rabbit-like man was terrified that Jiang Ran would immediately change her mind, otherwise he would have nowhere to turn to cry!

"Don't worry, I mean what I say."

Jiang Ran put down the bullet, smiled, and patted the rabbit-man on the shoulder.

Whether it's a human or a monster, sometimes you shouldn't push them too far. Hope and despair both have the power to change a person.
