Many rules have loopholes and pitfalls.
Vulnerabilities allow the chosen ones to avoid danger, but traps force them to confront danger directly.
However, those who have a guide are a bit different.
With Ji Liao in front and Hirano San behind, they can directly see the correct options. Even without thinking about why they should do it or what the underlying logic of the matter is, as long as they follow the strategy, they can still avoid danger.
Just like many countries gain experience by accumulating the number of deaths of chosen ones, and then "copy the homework" when the time is right, it is essentially the same logic.
However, those with strategies can skip the accumulation of quantitative changes and directly bring about qualitative changes.
Of course, the chosen ones are capable of thinking; it's not like you can just copy a guide without any thought. Hirano San usually completes the game on her own, intentionally slowing down her pace to avoid standing out among other nations. When other nations' chosen ones try to "copy her guide," they often consider their own experiences in the dungeons and make judgments, rather than blindly imitating.
Now, Hirano San's suggestion of "tutoring work" shows that it is indeed feasible in Viña City.
Depending on the chosen one's different talents, there will indeed be different ways to clear the dungeons in the Rules of the Strange. However, the general routes are still similar and there won't be too many differences.
Just like in the Sin City instance, no matter how you defeat the city lord, the chosen one can eventually achieve the normal ending.
This can be seen as all roads leading to Rome.
"Speaking of which, have you figured out what the rules are for that 'New Regulations' in Vina City?" Yin Zhu didn't act rashly, largely because she didn't know the specifics of the rules.
She didn't want to finally find a job only to be arrested for breaking some rule.
When Yin Zhu mentioned the "New Regulations on Comprehensive Social Security Management in Vina City," Hirano Shan's expression was somewhat touched. However, before Yin Zhu could think carefully about what it meant, Hirano Shan returned to normal and handed Yin Zhu a piece of paper that she had prepared in advance: "This is the part for the lower class, which belongs to the second half of the rules."
What about the first half?
"The first part requires at least a Class B citizenship, which we cannot obtain, nor do we need to comply with."
Hirano Sane's words were flawless.
After all, these two people are not only destitute, but also of very low social status. One of them is an unregistered person without a benevolent spirit official. If he is discovered to be out, the inspection bureau will probably dispatch police at lightning speed and arrest him on the spot.
Compared to the Chosen Ones who were assigned to the slums, Yin Zhu and Ping Yeshan's current residence could be considered an unspeakably privileged school district, but they didn't even have a stable source of income, let alone an improved status.
When even survival is a problem, there's even less energy left to improve oneself.
From this perspective, those who have the financial means and free time to hire tutors are indeed more likely to enable the chosen ones to achieve upward social mobility, which explains why Hirano San saw this kind of content.
Looking down at the "New Regulations" in her hand, the paper was written by Hirano Sane, but to Yin Zhu it was entirely in Chinese. The rules were roughly intended to keep lower-class citizens in line with the rules:
1. Do not engage in conflict with senior citizens.
2. Entry into areas occupied by senior citizens or their private residences is prohibited without permission.
3. Do not disrupt public order or attack law enforcement robots.
4. No organization or association may be created on one's own, nor may heretical or pagan ideas be promoted.
5. Do not look directly at the gods, or attempt to uncover the secrets behind them.
6. It is forbidden to use the network to hack into the official database of Vena City, tamper with the data, or interfere with monitoring, or engage in other illegal activities.
7. Possession of prohibited items is forbidden (see appendix for details).
8. No one may harbor criminals who violate the "New Regulations on Comprehensive Management of Social Order in Viña City".
9. Do not access unapproved technologies.
[10. Without official recognition from the City of Vena, one must not teach others as a teacher.]
11. Falsifying facts that damage the company's reputation is prohibited.
12. It is forbidden to engage in illegal activities such as fare evasion, robbery, theft, rape, arson, and murder.
[13. Do not go out at night or look out of the window from inside the house.]
[14. Transactions using any currency other than Vena currency are prohibited in Vena City.]
...
Although the consequences were not written, Yin Zhu already knew the subtext behind it—"Once discovered, they will be sent to the supervisory bureau for punishment."
These rules are intended to control human thought and behavior, maintain the unshakeable position of divine authority, and make lower-class citizens willingly become stepping stones for higher-class citizens by constantly degrading them.
While most of the previous rules had their pitfalls, they were generally geared towards protecting the core and telling the chosen ones how to be safe enough in the short term. However, the rules for this instance are completely geared towards restricting actions.
Ordinary citizens should not fantasize about transcending class and becoming superior to others.
Being content with being at the bottom is enough.
The person who wrote the rules of the city of Vina didn't even bother to explain them to the citizens; he simply laid out the rules. As for why certain things couldn't be done, it seemed that it wasn't something the lower-class citizens needed to understand—they only needed to obediently follow them.
However, Yin Zhu's progress is already the fastest on the entire planet.
Many other chosen ones from other countries have had trouble even leaving their own areas, let alone collecting the contents of the "New Regulations on Comprehensive Social Security Management in the City of Vena".
Not every country's chosen ones are lucky enough to be born in a poor people's apartment.
The chosen one of Lavender Country is an unlucky guy who spawns in the slums. Although he starts with a food supply, it is quickly stolen by other natives because he did not keep it safe.
In response, this chosen one directly engaged in a fight with the indigenous people.
You can take what's mine, but can't I beat you up?
It was precisely because of this brutal start that the Chosen One of Lavender Country grew rapidly, transforming from a streamer who initially had some inhibitions during live streams into a rather shameless Chosen One.
In a place like this, being concerned about saving face will only make you more unhappy.
Good Spirits are a very expensive form of hard currency in the slums, possessed by only a very small number of people. Without this crucial item, the Chosen Ones would find it difficult to move around in the city and could only operate in the chaotic and poorly regulated areas on the outskirts of Vena City.
The slum is located at the border between the outer city and the outskirts of Viña. It is home to a large number of natives without citizenship, who may have been deprived of their citizenship or may have been illegal immigrants from outside the city.
In short, everyone is hopeful and tries every means to get into a big company in the city, so that they can get promoted, get a raise, and reach the pinnacle of their lives.
