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 51 Money-Making Frenzy

The teacher was furious. Based on his years of observation of humans, he was practically a human expert. The report submitted by student number 54 was clearly just something he had written randomly, with no logic whatsoever!

"Alright! I'm going to investigate you myself!"

The teacher brought over another top student, who then teleported with Number 54 to the side of a ghost storyteller!

Lu Renguo's cannon fodder armor, with B-level talent, truly lives up to its name.

"Come on, number 32, you predict what he'll do next!"

Yes, teacher!

Cannon Fodder A didn't do anything; he just went downstairs, bought a pack of instant noodles, and then went back home to just sit there.

Number 32 gave a wicked smile: "In my opinion, he never intended to clear the game; he just wanted to survive the second day to get 1/7 of the reward."

Number 54 stared wide-eyed. "We're weird creatures! Can you stop laughing like that? You're scaring me!"

"Your analysis is very good." The teacher nodded, grabbed the two ghosts, and instantly moved to the side of another ghost storyteller. "Come on, number 54, it's time to test your learning results."

Standing in front of them was Jiang Ran.

Number 54's face instantly fell!

"Analyze what this human in front of us wants to do!"

How could I possibly know?!

Number 32 gave another wicked smile. The fact that these people had been staying at home for so long and hadn't moved made the answer obvious: they were just another coward!

"What, Number 54, can't you even guess this?"

“You don’t know anything!” 54 cried out in despair, “That person you just saw was staying at home and not moving. You said he was afraid of death, and he really was afraid of death.”

"But if this person stays at home and doesn't move, you might think he's afraid of death, but in reality, he might just be mentally counting sheep from 1 to 100, then going downstairs to buy a cup of instant noodles, cooking them, then dumping the noodles into the trash can, then taking that bag of trash to another trash can, and finally asking the garbage collector, 'What do you do for a living?'"

Half an hour later—

"Absolutely correct! Number 54! You're a genius!"

Ha! Destroy humanity!

The viewers in the live stream were already used to Jiang Ran's baffling actions. With Hei Lao as a cautionary tale, no one dared to let their own ghost storyteller replicate his behavior.

By the way, Hey Lao has already left this world. After all, he doesn't even have a finger left. He can't even hold a knife, so what's the point of fighting? He should be content with surviving the first day.

Including the few unlucky ones who died on the first day, plus the few who chose to leave the world on the morning of the second day, there are now fewer than 20 ghost story writers still trying to complete the levels.

Of course, most people felt that survival was too easy. Rather than leaving after the first day and only getting 1/10 of the reward, they might as well stay one more night and get 1/7 of the reward on the second day.

So about five or six people stayed at home and did nothing; they had no intention of going through customs at all.

Aside from Jiang Ran, who uses his talent to make money, everyone else finally dug out their long-dormant brains, just to earn at least 500 yuan to buy a knife for self-defense!

Alansta tasted the sweetness of gambling on the first day, but if you want to make this your main source of income, you'll probably lose everything, so he had no intention of going to the casino again on the second day.

If they want to make big money, these ghost story tellers have one more absolute advantage: the time difference!

Because they can choose whether to leave this world every morning, and once someone completes the game, this world will be closed, so certain methods with slower costs become their only option!

For example, loans!

You can increase the interest tenfold, no problem. Anyway, I'm leaving in a couple of days and have no intention of paying it back!

When the time comes, lend him 100,000 or 200,000, then go to the shop and buy a heavy machine gun to fire wildly. You'll find that passing the level is so easy!

Unfortunately, the world of ghost stories doesn't allow you to exploit bugs so easily.

It's not that there are no loans, but if you want money, you have to go into the shadows with them. Aransta doesn't even have a knife right now. Do you think he dares to go?

Even if they went, what if a god descended from heaven and killed them all? Who would pay him then?

With no other option, Alansta simply spent ten dollars to buy a tarot deck, sat on the street, and started telling fortunes. He claimed that if the prediction was inaccurate, he would refund the full amount in three days, but in reality, if you could find the person in the deck after three days, you would win.

"There's an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom: 'You can run away from the temple, but you can't run away from the monk!' Want to have your fortune told? I'm honest and reliable!"

Alansta's divination fee of 50 per divination is not considered expensive, which surprisingly attracted a large number of people to come and watch. Under the sun, there is no difference between the daily routines of ghosts and humans, so just treat them as humans!

As for fortune telling, Alanstata is certainly knowledgeable in six out of seven areas, but there's still one area he doesn't understand. However, since it's impossible to verify the truth of such things in a short time, he just says nice things!

"Alright, I'll draw three cards to tell a fortune!"

A burly man stepped forward and gave Aransta 50 Nightless Coins.

"Okay, what do you want to calculate?"

"Then let's see if I—" the big man narrowed his eyes, "can survive tonight."

Aransta raised an eyebrow, seemingly gleaning some crucial information from the burly man's words, but outwardly he chuckled and gestured for the man to draw a card.

The first one is Death.

"Uh, this card has a really good meaning! Although the person in the picture looks a bit fierce, but, but, never mind, the meaning is good anyway!"

The second picture is of a tall tower.

"Great! Being tall means you can see far, right? That means you're destined for great things. Getting through tonight won't be a problem!"

The third card, The World Reversed.

Aransta's face darkened. Had this big man broken some kind of divine law to be able to draw these three cards so accurately? He must be incredibly lucky.

Aransta flipped the card over: "You've got it upside down! Oh! Look what you drew? The World! Very lucky, sir!"

"But I seem to have heard that this thing has two different meanings, forwards and backwards?"

"No, that's not true. You must have misheard."

In order to make money, ghost story tellers from all over the world have gone to great lengths, using all sorts of bizarre methods. Some dress up as women and pretend their children are sick to raise funds, some commit fraud, and some even rob people outright!

Unfortunately, the third guy is still being pursued by the police, and it's uncertain whether he'll be able to escape.

On his first day as a beggar, Park Baek-bun from South Korea tasted the sweetness of being a beggar—there was indeed little danger—but he earned very little. So, on his second day, he transformed into the leader of a beggar gang and switched to swindling money.
