The moment Nazar pushed her hand away, many thoughts flashed through Yin Zhu's mind.
The most prominent of these was Yin Zhu's malicious speculation, suspecting that the box would turn anyone who came into contact with it into a selfish person, with their possessiveness and jealousy soaring, making everyone seem like someone who wanted to steal her box.
After all, many TV dramas like to arrange things this way.
However, Nazar seemed perfectly normal, and said in a serious tone, "I did indeed obtain the rules of the gods from this box, but the rules do not include the clause 'I cannot tell anyone else'."
At this point, Nazar's expression showed some confusion.
Yin Zhu was quite open-minded and came up with a reason: "Whether the prince actually participated in the ceremony of becoming a god or not, he only heard it from his father, so it may not be accurate."
"But my dad wouldn't lie to me."
“You’re still young, you don’t understand adult matters.” Yin Zhu shook her head and said, “Adults love to lie to children. When I was a child, my parents would tell me to keep my New Year’s money for me, but later the money disappeared.”
What is "lucky money"?
Yin Zhu's words were completely beyond the comprehension of the three groups of people in front of him: A-level citizens, former B-level citizens now low-level citizens, and native low-level citizens. This caused Nazar, the worm, and the prince to look over at the same time.
Regardless of which group Yin Zhu was referring to, it was easily exposed on the spot.
At this point, the only option is to play dumb.
Yin Zhu tilted her head, her eyes clear, and said, "Hmm... I don't know either, that's what my parents told me."
As expected, the others didn't dwell on the issue too much.
Nazar continued, "When I first came into contact with this box, I seemed to be pulled into a space where a very familiar person asked me three questions, but I can't remember them. The instant I came out, a lot of information flooded into my mind, including the [Divine Rules] and the [Mental Activity Healing Technology]."
"Tell me about the latter first."
Yin Zhu knew she definitely wouldn't understand, but the experts from China might. Rules and such could wait; science and technology were more useful.
“This…you might not understand.” Nazar glanced at Yin Zhu tactfully.
In her experience, if these things hadn't been forcibly implanted into her mind, even if she had a hundred years, Nazar wouldn't have been able to learn these highly academic things.
Yin Zhu waved her hand dismissively: "It's alright, just explain it once, in case the prince can use it when he starts a company in the future."
Prince: What does this have to do with me?
However, seeing Nazar's expression that seemed eager to speak, the prince swallowed his complaints and nodded heavily: "Go ahead and say it. We'll listen once and see if we can understand it."
So, Nazar began spouting a string of technical terms that Yin Zhu couldn't understand at all, as if he were speaking gibberish.
During Nazar's immersive lecture, Yin Zhu glanced at the prince and the worm, who were just as restless as she was, and felt much more at ease: indeed, everyone has their own expertise, and it wasn't just her who couldn't understand it.
After that, the most important question finally came up.
The rules of the gods.
Nazar took a sip of water. Her throat was practically parched from talking so much professional knowledge. But looking at the three pairs of eager, shining eyes, she felt she could still say, "Speaking of divine rules, I'm pretty sure there isn't a single rule that forbids people from speaking about them."
"That means you can say that."
Yin Zhu's golden eyes shone brightly.
"【The rules of the gods are rules that the gods themselves must abide by. From the moment you successfully opened Pandora's Box, you became a god of the One Star.】 Uh, that's the original quote from the beginning of the rule." Nazar thought this should be considered a recap.
"So the important thing isn't attending the ascension ceremony, but opening the box." Yin Zhu pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but complain, "The inner city really does place a lot of emphasis on rituals."
However, etiquette is also a way of creating class differences.
“I’ll explain the rules in one go, so don’t interrupt.” Nazar frowned, as if trying to recall something.
In her mind, a piece of paper seemed to appear.
It wasn't the note that familiar person slipped to her in the boundless darkness, but rather a rulebook-like document stuck to her mind:
[1. When you see these rules, it means you have opened Pandora's Box and possessed your own divine mark. It can help you gain the loyalty of the city's will and become one of the highest-ranking people in Vena City.]
2. Your power comes from the power of faith, from the respect of humanity, not fear.
3. The power of a person's faith is finite; it can be distributed among different deities or concentrated on the same deity.
4. You can use your power to turn humans into your kin; their faith will double in return for you. However, if they betray you, it will also accelerate the loss of your faith.
5. The Chosen Ones are the only beings capable of threatening the gods.
6. When you mention terms like "the Chosen One" or "strange tales of rules," you will attract His attention and bring disaster upon yourself.
7. You will still experience birth, aging, sickness, and death, but you can regain vitality by replacing parts of your body.
8. Avoid contracting cybervirus.
9. Remember your initial choice, remember who you are.
Please abide by the above rules.
...
"What kind of god is this? So many problems." Yin Zhu expressed the sentiments of many viewers in the live stream.
“This rule corresponds to many rules in both the inner and outer city areas,” the worm rationally pointed out. “Article 8 [Do not get infected with Cybervirus] means that if the inner city encounters someone infected with Cybervirus, it will choose to destroy them directly, trying its best to avoid this situation.”
"Indeed, the inner city rules also have rules similar to Article 9."
The prince was referring to the seventh rule of the inner city: [Remember your own code name. Accurate self-awareness is beneficial to your personal safety.]
Based on this rule, Yin Zhu almost instantly came up with an interpretation, but this interpretation was too dangerous for her, being a negative one, so she immediately rejected it.
The code name must refer to the title "Prince" rather than a citizen number, otherwise Yin Zhu would have changed it several times.
No matter how the number changes, Yin Zhu is still Yin Zhu.
"The second divine rule should be the reason why the outer city districts are so educational..." Yin Zhu still remembered those brainwashing educational contents.
Because the "Divine Rules" clearly state that "power comes from the power of faith, from human respect rather than fear," mere intimidation with power is insufficient. Humans must genuinely respect the divine before the gods will spare any effort in providing infrastructure for the people in the outer city. Otherwise, the outer city will only become worse.
Besides that, what Yin Zhu cared about most was the first point.
