Looking at the striking words on the note, Yin Zhu's expression was somewhat helpless.
"Can you write something useful?"
She casually flipped the note over; there were words on the back as well, but they were very brief: "[Child\u003d Teacher]".
Yin Zhu's pupils dilated, but she quickly regained her composure, stuffed the note back into her pillow, and a slight smile appeared on her lips: "Interesting..."
In kindergarten, can the roles of child and teacher be switched?
With just this one point, Yin Zhu understood many things and gained a new understanding of the rules for teachers and staff. Her expression also became much colder: "No wonder the children here seem to be very precocious. I'm afraid one of the biggest contradictions in kindergartens is the status of teachers."
"What?" The mirror clone didn't understand.
"It's nothing, I was just talking to myself." Yin Zhu squinted. "I'm thinking about what methods those [kids] will use to seize the identity of [teachers]."
What is certain now is that the staff code of conduct does indeed protect kindergarten teachers, or more precisely, it ensures that the identity of "teacher" will not be easily taken away by others. As long as the rules are followed, it is not easy for others to find fault with the teachers.
The problem is, Yin Zhu came to Sin City not wanting to be a kindergarten teacher.
She was actually starting to miss her hometown of Kentucky; and if she counted the days, Crazy Thursday would be here again in two days.
If the natives in Sin City want stable jobs and a safe life, then Yin Zhu only cares about finding the person in charge, finding out the location of the city lord, and then going directly to solve the city lord's problems.
"So you're trying to get you to break the rules, right?"
The Mirror Ghost didn't know how to answer, after all, it was just a ghost and could only give the most basic answer.
“Indeed.” Yin Zhu nodded. “However, they may not know the contents of the staff code of conduct, just as I don’t know what rules exist among these children. …It seems I need to observe these children more closely.”
Yin Zhu can now confirm the way to survive in the kindergarten.
If you are a teacher, you need to make sure your work doesn't violate the rules to avoid being punished. At best, you'll be demoted to a preschooler; at worst, you might trigger an instant death penalty. If you are a preschooler, your goal in kindergarten is to get rid of the teacher, replace that teacher as much as possible, and regain your adult body.
Although Yin Zhu doesn't know how the kindergarten manages to turn adults into children—after all, this doesn't conform to the law of conservation of matter—considering it's a bizarre world, such unscientific behavior seems normal.
To be precise, this cannot be called unscientific; it should be called a material reality that modern science has not yet fully understood.
Yin Zhu's talent ensures that when she breaks the rules, she won't trigger an instant death ending like ordinary people; she can still manage to survive a little longer. However, if someone is really plotting against her life, that's something outside the rules.
In that case, talent might not be enough to save her life.
Don't forget, Sin City's number 0 rule is that [Sin City has no rules].
If the rules of the dungeon world really must be followed, then this situation is actually safer for Yin Zhu, because Yin Zhu's talent is rule-based, and her gold and silver talents have a great advantage in the face of rules.
However, the Grand Theft Auto dungeon actually focuses more on the player character, so the pink, blue, and red talents will be more advantageous.
They can fight, or they can manipulate people's hearts.
Even before Yin Zhu was chosen as the Chosen One, someone had already made deductions based on the officially released talent list; that post is still posted in the featured section of the Rules of the Strange Forum. The original poster diligently searched for commonalities among the different colored talents and quickly arrived at their conclusion:
Golden Talent – Rule-based, specifics unknown, speculated to affect the rules themselves. Representative figure: None yet.
Silver Talent – Rule-based: Revolves around rules but doesn't apply to them. It can directly identify the path to victory or indirectly determine the correctness of rules and whether there are misleading descriptions. Representative figures: Ji Liao from the Dragon Kingdom, Valeria from the Bear Kingdom.
Red Talents – Physical Talents: These involve strengthening the body or directly blocking an instant-death attack. They manifest in various ways but always revolve around the individual's physical body. Representative figure: Ivan from the Russian Empire.
Blue Talents – Mind-related, affecting the individual, allowing them to judge and analyze problems more calmly, and to detect problems more acutely. Representative figures: Thomson from the United States, and Li Lin from Singapore.
Pink Talent – Mind-based, affecting native inhabitants and those with strange emotions; it allows one to hear others' thoughts or alter their emotions. Representative figure: Hirano San from the Sakura Kingdom.
Purple Talent – Mind-Based: This talent allows the user to create illusions for the native inhabitants through external forces, bewildering their minds, or to see through strangely created illusions and avoid being misled. Notable figures: Kim Sung-woo (Korea), Hashimi (Persia).
Green Talent – Support Type: Can directly generate partial objects, or even clones that can repeat its own actions. Representative figure: Ai Lawan from the White Elephant Kingdom.
White Talent – Rule-based, specifics unknown, speculated to include the ability to foresee the future. Representative figure: Sarah of Persia.
Black Talent – Rule-based: Allows one to break the rules without punishment, but incurs more severe penalties if one follows the rules. Representative figure: Augusta of the Black Lion Kingdom.
...
Of course, the above is just the judgment made by the poster on Blue Star based on the officially released data so far, and the classification is also his own opinion. For some data that is insufficient, such as gold talent and white talent, it is a reasonable speculation based on the situation of black talent and silver talent.
The gold talent is something no one has obtained yet, while the white talent is simply information that has been hidden by the official team.
Although the original poster repeatedly emphasized that "there is no superiority or inferiority among talents of different colors," it is impossible to know what the actual viewers thought.
In addition, the chosen ones from the Dragon Kingdom had an incredibly smooth time passing the challenges—after all, those who could directly look at the answers were naturally faster than those who worked hard to solve the problems, leading almost everyone to believe that rule-based talents were the strongest.
If silver and black talents are already so strong, what about gold and white talents?
Now that Yin Zhu has luckily obtained the golden talent, she told An Zhi after experiencing it firsthand: "Aside from being able to survive when breaking the rules, it doesn't seem to be of much use right now. And although it sounds very powerful, it doesn't feel as useful as my own brain. I suspect I've been scammed."
Although the talent is called "writer," the specific skill is interpreting rules, not changing or creating them. This definitely requires downloading the national anti-fraud app.
Yin Zhu thought the person writing the rules would be someone who could write on a blank sheet of paper, but in reality, someone else had already written the rules on the paper, and she could only write annotations on the side: "This rule means balabalabala..." The contrast before and after was quite significant.
"It should be weak in the early stages, but it will become stronger later," Anzhi comforted her.
"Forget it, let it be." Yin Zhu said confidently at the time, "Even without talent, I can still get through... If I can't get through, I'll just die for you guys."
"...That's really unnecessary."
