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 4 Leave it to fate

Sato Hitsuten's shout made the observer slam his fist on the table and stand up, actually going directly to the live chat to hurl insults!

"Useless piece of trash! Everyone else went in and nothing happened, but you're the only one who got into trouble. Giving you this hint is the worst luck I've ever had!"

Seeing this dogfight unfold, the Chinese accounts lurking in the Japanese livestream room started adding insult to injury.

"Didn't that guy say he was going to eat shit upside down?"

"That won't do. They have a samurai spirit. We suggest they commit seppuku immediately after eating to apologize, so as not to damage the family's honor."

The observer was so pleased to see their own country's live stream dominated by a flood of Chinese characters that they wished they had never learned the language.

Combining the results from both sides, he finally vaguely guessed why Jiang Ran had survived.

Seeing that Sato Hitsuten was about to go to the toilet again, he got angry and used his third prompt!

"Useless! Eat the fish!"

After saying that, the observer got off the plane and left in one smooth motion. There was nothing more for him to do here. He might as well just die in there!

The voice prompt echoed like a broadcast, with the word "useless" lingering in everyone's ears, causing the viewers in the live stream to burst into laughter.

"What do you know? There's definitely something fishy about this toilet!" Sato Hiten hugged the toilet affectionately. "My brother got into trouble because of this! Don't underestimate the bond between us brothers!"

In the end, in order to survive, he ate the fish.

As a result, Sato Riten, who was originally close behind Jiang Ran, has become the person who is the most behind, with a difference of nearly two hours!

After Jiang Ran went to bed, ghost storytellers from other countries entered the bedroom one after another. In fact, the death rate was not exaggerated, because most of the ghost storytellers perfectly replicated Jiang Ran's actions and ate the fish.

Even the cooking method hasn't changed.

It turns out that it's best to copy homework exactly as it is, and you should never try to be clever and make any changes.

Of the original twenty-odd ghost story tellers, only 15 remain!

The morning sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the window. Jiang Ran didn't dare to sleep too soundly. Fortunately, the night passed quickly, especially after midnight. Jiang Ran felt like she had been lying in bed for less than an hour before dawn.

Of course, this is just a feeling of time displacement; the scenes in the live stream actually took place overnight.

"Get on board! Get on board! Watch my brother Jiang conquer the second day!"

At this moment, an option also appeared before Jiang Ran.

[Should we continue with the Strange Tales World: The Mysterious Apartment?]

If you choose no, you will immediately leave this world, receive one-tenth of the reward, and will be unable to re-enter this world.

If you choose yes, you will continue the game and receive one chance to draw a talent.

"yes."

The offer to leave immediately was indeed very tempting for Jiang Ran, but he was currently making the fastest progress and had only used the opportunity once. If he left now, he feared he would have no place to survive in the real world.

The government paid you a lot of money to hire you, not so you could come in here to be a coward and live a life of fear. Besides, everything is going very well. You were a contracted ghost storyteller who was supposed to work until you were 40.

If someone is deemed a useless vampire, they'll probably be thrown into an SSS-level ghost story world next time.

Jiang Ran's choice did not surprise anyone; no one would have thought that a supernatural storyteller with an SSS-level talent would give up.

Another important factor in weighing the pros and cons is the selection of talent!

Each time a ghost storyteller survives a day, if they have not used their talent in this world, they will have a chance to redraw their talent, and the level of the talent they draw will fluctuate based on their current talent level.

This opportunity to change talents is different from the rewards after clearing a level; it will not refresh to reveal talents that are higher than your current talent level.

Jiang Ran didn't care about any of that at the moment. Even if it was just a B or A grade talent, it would still be better than his own flashy but useless talent!

"Extract!"

Three golden cards spun around in front of Jiang Ran. The leftmost card was an S-level talent, while the middle and rightmost cards were both SS-level talents!

Lin Changqing shook his head: "Sigh, as expected, he didn't get an SSS-level talent. I guess this kid won't be replaced."

Replacing a high-grade product with a low-grade one is something only a fool would do unless the effect is truly remarkable.

Jiang Ran's gaze was instantly drawn to the card in the very center!

[SS-Rank Talent - Leave it to Fate]

[Effect: Each time you enter a world or acquire this talent, a random SSS-level talent will be refreshed for you, lasting until the end of this world.]

Leave everything to fate.

This ability was ranked as an SS-level talent because of its uncontrollability, but its potential far exceeds that of most SSS-level talents!

Jiang Ran glanced at the other two talents briefly. It wasn't that they weren't strong, but they were quite average and not particularly amazing.

He chose without hesitation to "leave it to fate" and change his talent!

This action left the viewers in the live stream completely dumbfounded. Lin Changqing spat out the tea he had just drunk and stared at the screen in utter bewilderment.

What's going on? This kid changed his SSS-level talent to an SS-level talent?!

"Brother Jiang's actions are indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like us."

"Haha, you Chinese from Dragon Country aren't so great after all. You can't even count the letters of the alphabet, can you?"

"Pah! Even an SS-class hero could easily defeat your Toilet Man!"

The two sides engaged in a fierce war of words. Currently, all countries are closely watching the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast room, eager to see what kind of talent Jiang Ran had that made him give up his SSS-level talent!

A moment later, a silver-white pistol appeared in Jiang Ran's right hand!

Various countries immediately began searching through the information they had obtained, making inferences about his abilities based on his SS rank and the pistol he was using!

"I understand! That's an SS-level talent—Demon Hunter Pistol! It can repel strange creatures when attacked! The success rate is 100% on the first day, and decreases by 20% for each subsequent day!"

An unlimited means of survival could indeed allow him to roam freely in the early stages, but the problem is that Jiang Ran has already passed the first day when he needed this ability the most, so why would he choose this ability again?

The leaders of various countries began to smile. They had chosen an ability that would be basically useless in the later stages. This kid was probably going to die here!

Jiang Ran looked the pistol in his hand up and down and began to check its attributes.

[SSS-Rank Talent: Physical Exorcism]

[Effect: Bullets will randomly spawn throughout your world. Each bullet will permanently kill one strange creature.]

You have to admit, this thing is surprisingly useful sometimes.
