Hirano Sane didn't know how to evaluate Yin Zhu's approach of creating known conditions when none existed.
After thinking for a long time, she could only ask, "Did you always do proofs like this when you were in school?" Hirano San's subtext was: Do you really think you can get points by making up all the given conditions when you do proofs like this?
"Anyway, as long as the teacher gives the grade, that's fine."
Yin Zhu felt no remorse whatsoever.
She even laughed with a hint of pride: "When I was in school, I often encountered proof problems and couldn't prove certain conditions, so I would just use those conditions as known. The teacher thought I skipped steps and deducted a point from the big questions, but actually I couldn't prove them at all."
Hirano San tugged at her arm: "We're live streaming..."
"Well, I graduated from high school several years ago anyway. The teacher can't just take out my old test paper and deduct points from me again, can he?" Yin Zhu suddenly felt a little guilty.
Her guilty conscience was justified, because after she said those words during the live stream, Yin Zhu's math teacher finally realized why Yin Zhu always wrote the answers that way. From then on, the teacher changed the way he deducted points, thus trapping many students who, like Yin Zhu, tried to be clever—but that's another story.
After the two talked for a while, Yin Zhu realized that she couldn't easily go out on the street, so she returned to her room.
Although she didn't know the implications of the rule prohibiting overnight stays, Yin Zhu didn't want to break it without prior preparation. The chances of the think tank offering assistance in the early stages were slim, and even though she had gained their trust, they couldn't offer much truly helpful help.
Yin Zhu herself didn't have high expectations.
Those who actually enter the dungeon are the chosen ones. Unless another human king-level player emerges from this group and leads the others to clear the dungeon in a flash, the chosen ones' situation will probably be very bad by the time the think tank reminds them.
After all, the environment in the world of Rules of Strange Tales will deteriorate over time, to prevent the chosen ones from stagnating here and refusing to leave.
Similarly, Yin Zhu and Ping Yeshan also need to find a legal way to leave the apartment as soon as possible, otherwise they might encounter something bad. Thinking about this, Yin Zhu suddenly realized a problem: what bad things might happen in the apartment?
From a regulatory perspective, the main dangers tenants may encounter lie in one area—the oversight authority.
There are two points in the rules that are not clearly stated.
4. Management will conduct regular inspections of the apartment. Please cooperate with the investigations and do not possess any prohibited items. You will be responsible for any consequences if discovered.
[9. If you discover that any tenant in your apartment has violated any terms of the "New Regulations for Comprehensive Social Security Management in Viña City," please immediately call the Inspection Bureau to report it. The Inspection Bureau will handle everything.]
What are prohibited items?
What does "A New Example of Comprehensive Social Security Management in Viña City" describe?
The fact that these two rules, which the author intended for others to follow, were written without detailed explanation only indicates one thing: the person who wrote the rules believed that the person reading them would understand what these two rules corresponded to.
This is also Yin Zhu's current problem; she has no way to access the deeper levels of rules.
Yin Zhu is now quite certain that if the rules of Sin City are all based on the original rules of Sin City, then the rules of Vena City are completely reversed. The chosen ones are shown the regional rules first, but the general rules of Vena City are not told to them.
The danger of the dungeon has increased again...
Even though she didn't know what the consequences of being caught would be, Yin Zhu had enough intuition and intelligence to know that those who couldn't speak out wouldn't do anything good. In her mind, the supervisory bureau would most likely take the violator away and turn her into a laborer for the company.
This is a common plot in many cyberpunk works, full of the control exerted by powerful forces over ordinary people.
In this world, there are no upward mobility channels; social classes are almost completely entrenched. Every day, just to survive, those at the bottom exhaust all their strength, becoming nothing more than walking corpses struggling to make ends meet. Even betraying others and currying favor with those above only elevates them from being mere expendable resources to becoming lackeys of those above; truly integrating into upper-class society remains an insurmountable obstacle.
Although technology has advanced in the cyber world, everything is still controlled by the upper class. No technology will benefit those at the bottom, and those at the top still want to control everyone's thoughts.
In this era, wanting to live a better life has become an unrealistic delusion.
Yin Zhu had already realized the terrible consequences of hiding in the poor's apartment for a long time: after a certain period of time, the inspection bureau would probably come to search for contraband door-to-door under some pretext, or come to arrest the violators.
If the chosen one still hasn't figured out a solution by then, they will likely be taken away along with the target.
Since she didn't know the exact time, Yin Zhu could only tell herself that she had to speed things up and find the person who might violate the rules and cause the supervisory bureau to come to her door in advance, and ask him, her, or it to help her.
After all, the cyberpunk world is technologically advanced, and we cannot arbitrarily assume the gender of others.
The poor people's apartment was devoid of any technology, to the point that Yin Zhu almost thought she had traveled back to the last century. This place was even less clean than the apartment Yin Zhu used to rent, but it did have one advantage: it made it less likely for the chosen ones to be exposed immediately, and it provided a place to rest.
Without technology, there is no surveillance.
To obtain sufficient information, the inspection bureau would either have to personally search the filthy apartment or strongly encourage residents to report on each other.
Recalling the conversation between the three people at the door, who resolutely reported someone for not having a "Good Spirit Official" just to get an extra piece of meat at their meal, Yin Zhu knew that the natives of this world were probably also very "simple and honest".
Unlike the perverts in Sin City who take action themselves, their easy reporting can cause just as much harm to others as if they did it themselves.
but……
Yin Zhu touched her chin, her pupils becoming somewhat unfocused as she pondered, her mind wandering far away.
Although she was just talking to herself, the viewers in the live stream could still hear Yin Zhu's voice and see her lips trembling slightly, as if she were saying something:
"The name 'Vina' is clearly in the naming style of the Old World, but the name 'Good Spirit Officer' is so out of place, it's almost like..."
"Like the names of mythical figures from the Dragon Kingdom."
Twenty minutes ago, when the two were standing on the bulletin board, the Dragon Kingdom's think tank had already analyzed this point.
“In our country’s original religion, there is a saying about five hundred spirit officials, which should indeed originate from the Dragon Kingdom. However, I suspect that the mythological figures in this hybrid version are also mixed together.” Di Jia quickly gave his opinion.
No one disagrees with this.
"A mixed dungeon, even mythology is mixed? What kind of anime would this be? So, will we be able to see Sadako vs. Yang Jian...?" Zhang Baye was having some wild fantasies.
“Be serious,” An Zhi interrupted their banter.
