Each ghost storyteller starts with 100 Nightless Coins. Weapons will definitely not be cheap, but it's unknown how much purchasing power 100 coins actually have.
"Never mind, let's look at my task first."
Jiang Ran then remembered that he could earn Nightless Coins by refreshing the tasks he had set up. He found the separate area for his talents in his mind, and a whole bunch of tasks had been updated.
Wait... how much is this reward?!
Before he could even read the details of the mission, Jiang Ran blurted out "Holy crap!" He quickly rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things!
Even the lowest-rewarded task comes with a full 1000 Nightless Coins as a reward. Goodness, now he finally understands why this talent can be rated SSS level. It's basically a standard case of burying you in money!
But after reviewing the task details, Jiang Ran's lips twitched slightly. Well, it wasn't that they were particularly difficult to complete, it's just...
He now understood why the name of this talent sounded so strange.
Jiang Ran walked out of the door and went down the stairs to the first floor. It looked no different from any other small town. There was a convenience store, a ping-pong table, and even two old men chatting.
Rule 2: Please remember, there are no people here. If you see "people," please pretend they are people and don't let them notice anything unusual about you. Also, don't tell them you are a tourist.
The two old men looked very kind and were no different from ordinary people, but Jiang Ran did not want to get close to them.
"Young man, I've never seen you before. Are you a tourist from out of town?"
Unfortunately, Jiang Ran didn't want to pay attention to the two old men, but the two old men took the initiative to greet him.
"No, I'm from Yaoyang Community. I'm here to visit relatives these past few days."
Yaoyang is a nearby residential area on the map. Jiang Ran doesn't know how long the two old men have been in this area, but it's clear that if they lie and say they are from this area, they will likely leave clues.
The two old men nodded slightly, and Jiang Ran ignored them and walked straight out of the residential area.
There is a shop right at the entrance of the residential area, with a sky-blue flag hanging outside.
"Welcome, sir. What would you like to order?"
The screen at the front desk displays a menu of all the products. At the top are everyday items like drinks and snacks, but the menu changes drastically after just a few seconds!
Ghost 7-R6 Silver Bullet Pistol, Price: 100 Nightless Coins
These must be the weapons mentioned in the rules. A pistol only costs 100 Night Coins, which is a bit too cheap.
Low prices are not a good thing, as it means that Jiang Ran's talent is somewhat diminished.
Just as Jiang Ran was about to continue reading, the boss, who had been sitting in the chair, appeared behind him without warning and silently put his arm around his shoulder.
"Hey buddy, are you from out of town?"
"No, I'm from Yaoyang Community. I'm here to visit relatives these past few days."
The boss gave a sly smile and leaned closer: "Yes, that's right. Tell everyone else the same thing."
"Demon hunter, I will provide you with some assistance, but I will always prioritize my own safety, and—I refuse to take advantage of anyone."
We can glean a lot of information from the boss's words. First, he doesn't seem to belong to the same camp as the other "people." Second, you still have to take your pay and don't try to get close to him.
Jiang Ran slapped his forehead. It seemed he needed to do a task and earn some money first.
In the shadows, no one noticed a strange, octopus-like creature secretly watching Jiang Ran.
Individual ID 007, Human Observer, Benevolent.
Human observers are a very special and strange group of individuals who observe human behavior and enjoy doing so. They pose no threat to humans, nor can they offer any help. Well, all of the above is knowledge recorded by humans.
"Is this the object of my observation?"
Human Observer No. 54 squinted his eight eyes. Although he really wanted to lie in hell and soak in lava, he still had to observe humans properly for the sake of his summer homework!
"According to the textbook, humans always follow the rules. That's right, this person is definitely going to work to earn Nightless Coins!"
Number 54 nodded confidently; his judgment was absolutely correct.
Jiang Ran quickly boarded a bus and drove off into the distance. Number 54 immediately followed. The viewers in the live stream were also speculating about what Jiang Ran was planning to do.
"Brother Jiang is probably going to apply for a food delivery job. Although it's only 10 yuan per order, he can increase his number of orders by doing more."
Many people think so, because other ghost story writers have also boarded the same bus, their goal being to apply for a food delivery job!
Unfortunately, they didn't have a convenient tool like a mobile phone, so they had no choice but to make the trip themselves.
Almost all the ghost story writers have made their next move, oh, except for this one—
Looking at the four rules that had been announced, Song Zhong secretly pounded his chest twice. It seemed that as long as he completed four tasks, he could verify the authenticity of these four rules. He shouldn't touch any rules that hadn't been verified. It seemed that this world of strange tales was just like that, not difficult at all!
He looked at his first task.
[Old Eight in the Toilet: Completed a self-production and self-consumption task (you know what that means, playing word games doesn't count as completing the task)]
"Fuck you!"
Song Zhong's face turned ashen. He suddenly felt that this task might not necessarily have to be done.
"Never mind, I'll just go buy a weapon first!"
Song Zhong decided to pretend that this talent didn't exist. Even if he starved to death today, or jumped off this building, he would never eat a single bite of that stuff!
Arriving downstairs in the residential area, Song Zhong quickly found a shop in a similar location. Looking at his only 100 Nightless Coins, he gritted his teeth and bought a handgun!
"Wait a minute, boss, where are the bullets?"
"No problem, you bought a handgun, not bullets."
Song Zhong's eyes widened. "Say that again, you bastard? What good is a gun without bullets?!"
Calm down, calm down! You can earn Night Coins to buy bullets. A pistol only costs 100 coins, so how expensive can bullets be?
How much does a bullet cost?
"A fair price of 500 yuan per piece! No bargaining, please!"
"500 yuan a piece! Why don't you just rob someone?!"
That's outrageous! This price completely disheartened him!
"You can choose not to buy it, I'm not forcing you." The shopkeeper chuckled, crossed his legs, and gave a smug look. "Why would you buy a gun if you don't have money? I'm not doing charity."
Song Zhong was kicked out of the shop with his pistol in his hand. Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine and realized that everyone around him was staring at him at the same time, their eyes focused on the pistol in his hand!
