Chapter 607 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui looked around and nodded slightly. "It is indeed too clean, so does this rule mean we can't litter, or we have to keep it clean at all times, or... we can't affect the hygiene of the rule-based country?"
Lin Leyou: "They all basically mean the same thing, shall we give them a try?"
Xue Rui, "I'll give it a try..."
Lin Leyou grabbed his hand, "This time I'll do it."
After thinking about it briefly, Xue Rui didn't refuse, "Okay."
Lin Leyou directly submitted his conjecture to the system: "System, the ninth rule of the Rule Kingdom states that anyone who enters the Rule Kingdom has the responsibility and obligation to maintain the cleanliness of this place."
The system quickly responded, "Congratulations to resident Lin Leyou for discovering Rule Nine of the Rule Kingdom: Anyone entering the Rule Kingdom must maintain the cleanliness of the country's environment."
Lin Leyou has once again gained ten million points and... um?
"System notification: Congratulations to resident Lin Leyou for gaining 10 million points. The rule invalidation card will be used for one hour. One resurrection coin!"
Lin Leyou quietly told Xue Rui about her discovery.
Xue Rui was somewhat surprised. "Maintaining a clean environment seems a bit unexpected, but it's quite reasonable. However, this reward includes an extra resurrection coin. It seems that this is the reward for discovering all three unknown rules."
Lin Leyou squeezed his hand, signaling him to hurry up and submit the rule to the system, since the system would be sending messages to all participants soon.
Xue Rui didn't waste any time and immediately submitted the task to the system, receiving points and items, especially resurrection coins.
In just a few hours, Lin Leyou discovered that he had actually gained tens of millions of points, killed two people by using the rules, and completed one-fifth of the tenth rule.
Lin Leyou touched the ring. "I feel much more at ease with the resurrection coin. I haven't discovered that unknown death rule yet, and I guess I won't be able to find it anytime soon. Let's put it aside for now."
Although Xue Rui was still a little uneasy, given that he had the resurrection coin, he didn't insist any further. "Do as you say, now..."
Lin Leyou said, "Let's wander around and see if there's a chance to kill a few people. Those two were definitely participants, but the tenth rule of the Rule Kingdom states that killing ten people shouldn't specifically refer to participants, right?"
Xue Rui: "Definitely not. In such a large city with 500 participants, we were lucky to have met two, so it should include everyone."
Lin Leyou said, "Actually, to use the rules to kill the NPCs here seems to be more difficult than killing the participants. After all, they have lived here for a long time and are familiar with all the rules, especially their own. They are probably already adept at avoiding their own death rules."
Xue Rui, “No…”
After speaking, Lin Leyou realized the flaw in his words, "That's definitely not right!"
“Everyone has one known rule of death and one unknown rule of death. You were able to discover the unknown rule of death entirely because of that item rule invalidation card. In other words, the NPCs here…”
Xue Rui said, "Absolutely 99% of people don't know the specifics of their own unknown death rule."
Lin Leyou, "Do you think these NPCs can find resurrection coins? Or do they have any way to obtain them?"
Xue Rui, "Should we just go and ask?"
Lin Leyou: "Who should I ask?"
Xue Rui thought for a moment, then pulled him to a bench by the lake and sat down. He took out his phone from his pocket. "We're in this country with rules now. This is a city, so there's definitely internet. Do you think we can find the information we want online?"
Lin Leyou hadn't really thought of searching online before. He leaned closer to Xue Rui's phone screen and took a look, then noticed that it was the same phone he had bought for him at the supermarket in Xingfu Community.
That makes sense. Xue Rui can't bring his real-world phone here, and he can't buy a phone here either, so he has to use this one.
I'll see if there's a better one later, and then I'll buy him one.
After searching on his phone, Xue Rui actually found the information he wanted. "Yes."
Lin Leyou also saw it: "Killing ten people according to the rules will earn you a resurrection coin."
This is all the information that can be found online. You can't find the ten rules of the rule-based kingdom online. This is to prevent participants from using this to cheat.
Previously, after they learned about the ninth rule, the system still gave the other participants ten minutes to guess, and it's unknown how many people guessed correctly. Now, those ten minutes have long since passed.
Moreover, like rule number ten, rule number eight is not publicly disclosed; only rule number eight is publicly disclosed.
If you can't wear red clothes out at night, then it's okay to wear them during the day.
Xue Rui: "Here are some more guides."
Lin Leyou leaned closer, and the two of them stood close together looking at the online guide. To be honest, it was a step-by-step tutorial on how to discover other people's death rules, how to observe, what to say or do at what time, so that the other person would actively trigger their own death rules.
Of course, there are many comments below, because this guide is indeed well written, and the comments are all praising it.
Besides the praise, there are also things I've learned that I will never make the same mistakes again. These can be seen as a guide or a safety manual for protecting myself.
Lin Leyou suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and the two exchanged a knowing glance.
“Our enemies are probably not just the unknown dangers and these rules, but also the five hundred participants and the NPCs of the entire city.”
Xue Rui said, "As expected of a 3S difficulty dungeon, as soon as we go out, any random person we encounter could trigger the death rule for us."
Lin Leyou suddenly said, "Just like I did just now."
He subconsciously took advantage of the rules just now. Of course, he didn't think that much about it at the time. He just wanted to see what would happen if he gave someone food and they didn't say they would accept it, but were passively accepted.
The process was different, but it yielded a good result.
Just then, as they were about to continue watching, they both heard hurried footsteps behind them, even though they were sitting on a bench by the lake.
Behind this bench is a patch of greenery and some tall shrubs, making it easy to hide someone. It's just that... they didn't realize there was someone behind them!
Could he be one of the participants? Did he use some kind of prop to conceal his presence, which is why they didn't notice him?
Regardless, they quickly got up and took two steps to the side, then looked back and saw a dark figure appear behind the bench.
They had sharp eyes; the man held a gleaming, sharp knife and gave them a malicious smile.
Lin Leyou found it strange. Didn't the sixth rule say that you could only kill using the rules? If someone was killed by other means, the person could become a vengeful ghost and come back for revenge!
Was this person doing this on purpose?
Just as they were waiting for this person's next move, he suddenly changed his expression and said, "Oh dear, I'm sorry, did I scare you?"
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui looked at him coldly, without saying a word.
The other party wasn't embarrassed at all. "Haha, I was just joking with you guys, really! If you don't believe me, look at this knife in my hand."
As he spoke, he tapped the bench with the knife in his hand. The sound confirmed that the knife was made of plastic, but so what if it was plastic?
So realistic! Running around with a knife like that in the dim light by the lake, within the green lake area, his face contorted in a ferocious expression—isn't that...?
Lin Leyou sneered, "You think your method is very effective?"
After saying that, he pulled Xue Rui away. The person left behind watched their backs, the smile on his face unchanged, but he muttered to himself, "Failed again... I guess my method doesn't work. Should I try something else? What should I try? Maybe I should ask online again."
Xue Rui touched the ring. "Was it a gamble?"
Lin Leyou said, "If someone else is like you and can't go backwards, then they might have looked back and walked backwards, triggering the death rule."
Just now, Xue Rui got up and walked forward, only glancing back briefly. Later, he also turned to look at that person. These actions were basically synchronized with Lin Leyou's, so no one would notice anything amiss.
Lin Leyou: "If you try too hard, someone will definitely notice."
Xue Rui said, "It's okay, I'm perfectly natural. Besides, the only way to make me back is to grab me tightly and force me to back up, but do you think anyone can do that?"
"Even if someone attacks me head-on, trying to force me to retreat, it's impossible unless the other party can defeat me in a direct confrontation."
Lin Leyou detected a hint of arrogance in his calm tone, but he had the right to be proud. "That's right, but we still need to be vigilant at all times."
They walked around the lake for a while, and the person from before naturally didn't follow. But unexpectedly, the two of them ran into the woman in red from before.
"Oh, it's you two young men. Aren't you going home so late?"
Lin Leyou said with a smile, "My partner and I came out for a walk."
Upon hearing this, the woman in red revealed a knowing smile. "Oh, I knew you two were a couple. Holding hands like that, all lovey-dovey, there's no doubt about it."
"Hahaha...Alright, alright, I won't bother you anymore. You can continue your walk. Everything's fine up ahead, go have some fun."
Lin Leyou smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, you've worked hard."
The woman in red smiled and waved, then quickly left the area, as if making room for them.
Lin Leyou touched the ring. "She just said there were no problems up front."
