As the first person to step out of the room and successfully kill the Night Demon, Jiang Ran naturally received the most attention. Everyone held their breath and watched the screen, eagerly anticipating his next move.
Jiang Ran first went up one floor, and then went down the other side of the corridor.
"Brother Jiang must have his reasons for doing this."
"Perhaps he already foresaw that there would be ghosts blocking the way down below!"
I don't understand, I really don't understand, but after Jiang Ran's experience of inexplicably getting money while riding in a car last time, everyone felt that there was some deeper meaning behind Jiang Ran's every move!
Some people even wrote lengthy papers of several thousand words analyzing how Jiang Ran obtained the Nightless Coins, with detailed speculations that seemed almost plausible.
[Quest "I'm Going to Take the Detour" Completed, Reward: 1000 Nightless Coins]
After completing a task, Jiang Ran encountered a man with a gloomy expression coming upstairs at the other end of the stairwell. Jiang Ran pretended not to see him and continued walking past him unhurriedly.
"Hey bro, I feel like I've never seen you before."
"I live in the Yaoyang residential area next door. I'm here to visit relatives these past few days."
The man was still somewhat suspicious, but seeing Jiang Ran's calm and leisurely manner as she went downstairs, he finally shook his head slightly and went upstairs on his own.
"As expected, ghosts have no way to accurately distinguish humans!"
This will be crucial intelligence for their survival at night. Many foreign observers have secretly noted this down, and they will use the hint opportunity as soon as their ghost storyteller decides to go out tonight!
After leaving the residential area, Jiang Ran immediately went to the shop. The owner did not seem surprised by his arrival at night and greeted him with a smile as usual.
"I have to say, the speed at which you make money really amazes me; it's much more profitable than me running this shabby shop here."
"Oh, really? How about I tell you how I make money, and you give me the shop in return?"
"Ha, I was just kidding."
Jiang Ran took out the white crystal and handed it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper understood without Jiang Ran having to explain anything.
"Is this a good start to the day? White ghost stone, then I'll buy it at the market price."
The shopkeeper smiled and put away the white crystal, and Jiang Ran's account instantly gained 100 Nightless Coins.
Trading 500 yuan worth of bullets for 100 yuan worth of crystals is a huge loss!
However, we can also glean new information from the boss's words. He emphasized the white crystal, which means that there are other colored crystals that correspond to different levels of ghosts?
"Give me a knife, and buy me a bullet while you're at it."
Jiang Ran also realized that using bullets to deal with these little devils seemed like a waste, but there must be a reason why bullets exist. Some high-level devils might not be able to withstand the blades at all!
Hiss—is this a world of strange rules and supernatural phenomena? Jiang Ran has a feeling that he has accidentally entered some kind of online game.
Wips might actually be quite suited to fight in this world...
"Young man, open the door! Auntie has too much chicken soup to finish, so I'll give you a pot!"
Song Zhong squatted on the sofa, trembling. There were constant knocks on the door, but he could only pretend that he wasn't home.
The aunt outside the door silently watched the light shining through the crack in the door. This guy still wants to pretend he's not home, as if he's blind?
The knocking grew more urgent, and the aunt's urging was tinged with a hint of anger. Song Zhong now needed immense courage even to get off the sofa, let alone open the door!
"Mom, I'll never be a troll again in my next life!"
That being said, even if he kneels down and begs for mercy now, he can't escape this world. He's decided that as long as he survives tonight, he'll run away the next day. What does cyberbullying matter!
He's thick-skinned, he can take it!
The most important thing now is to save ourselves!
The rule that turning on the lights ensures safety may not be true. Song Zhong is genuinely afraid that the old lady outside will break down the door. He has a gun, but he can't afford a single bullet, so what's the difference between him and having nothing?
Fortunately, he lives on the second floor, so escaping by climbing out of the window is a good option!
"How exactly should we verify whether the rules are correct?"
Song Zhong's gaze slowly drifted toward the toilet.
He swallowed hard.
Number 54, hidden in the shadows, began to observe his second subject.
Hmm, this looks like a normal human being!
So what choices would he make when facing a life-or-death situation? This is a question that's definitely worth including in a research report!
Then... Song Zhong went to the toilet and closed the door.
Hmm, using the toilet to relax? That's not a bad method; humans have some tricks up their sleeves!
To protect the privacy of ghost storytellers, their live streams are temporarily blocked when they are using the toilet or taking a shower. This allowed Song Zhong to exploit a loophole!
If no one sees me eating, it's as if I didn't eat!
The toilet could block the live stream, but it couldn't block number 54. He teleported into the shadows of the toilet and continued his observation.
"This size is a bit smaller than the one in the textbook. It's true what they say, it's better to have no books than to believe everything you read!"
Song Zhong had already completed the first step. He stared at the lump of something in silence for a long time, torn between his inner turmoil and his inability to reach out and leave.
"Let's go for it! Just as Goujian endured hardship and humiliation in ancient times, I, Song Zhong, will endure hardship and humiliation in today's world! Let's do it, brothers, let's give it our all!"
"yue~"
Number 54 next to him rubbed his eight eyes with his tentacles to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
He then quietly wrote in his notebook, "Major new discovery: Humans relax by eating their own excrement, but it doesn't seem to taste very good."
He felt that if he stayed in this world a little longer, he could overturn all the conclusions in the textbooks, and then he would be the rising star of his race!
[Rule Four: Before nightfall, all food in the city is safe, except for dog meat. No matter how warmly you are invited, please refuse to eat any food related to dog meat. After nightfall, please do not eat anything. The above rules are correct.]
"What's the point of letting me know this rule? Anyone can guess it!"
Unfortunately, due to the randomness of his talent, Song Zhong didn't get the rule he wanted to know. He quickly comforted himself, thinking that he could just do one more task!
"The next mission shouldn't be this insane, right?"
[Extreme Survival: Jump from the 18th floor without any protective gear and survive]
"You son of a bitch!"
