Chapter 315 Wax Museum Rules.
Chapter 315 Wax Museum Rules.
Soon—
Hungry Monkey shared the rules of the Shroud Shop with Miao and the others.
"Building Rules": Every player who enters this building will automatically receive a tailor-made shroud with the effect of keeping warm, ensuring you can sleep warmly and cozily.
"Uh..."
Seeing this rule, Hungry Monkey and the others exchanged glances, all seeing the speechlessness in each other's eyes. What kind of ridiculous rule was this? It was neither harmful nor beneficial, essentially useless.
If one had to say it served some minor purpose, it was that they now had an extra set of clothes to change into.
But no sane person would think of using a shroud as change of clothes.
"There goes one of my detection opportunities," Hungry Monkey lamented, looking at his remaining detection chances. He had only four detection opportunities left, and his initial bravado about scouring an entire street was indeed an overstatement; these five detection opportunities were already his limit.
He simply couldn't complete the seventh set of push-ups no matter what; the sixth set was already him pushing himself to the limit, and during the seventh, he simply couldn't move at all.
"Don't rush."
Chen Miao shook his head, "Let's check out the Wax Museum next."
...
Right next to the Shroud Store was the Wax Museum, and the two shops were almost connected, with a convenience store in between. At the moment, standing on the cashier counter of the convenience store, was a young man with a professional smile plastered on his face.
It was the same young man who had run into the convenience store last night.
Now, he seemed to have adapted to the role of a cashier.
It's just that the smile on his face was a bit too professional. If things were as expected, someone must have given this lad some on-the-job training last night.
Soon—
The rules of the Wax Museum also appeared before everyone.
"Building Rules": Every player who enters this building will acquire a lifelike wax figure tailored to their voice, which will accompany you when you are lonely, until the end of your life, so you will never be alone again.
If you can find a perfectly fitting shroud for your wax figure, then this wax figure will transform into your bodyguard, possessing a certain level of Combat Power to protect your safety, and when you face an inevitable death from the rules, it helps you dodge the disaster once.
This effect is triggered only upon a player's first-time entry into the shop.
...
"Hey!"
Upon seeing this rule, Chen Miao and the others exchanged glances again, only this time, everyone's eyes shone with excitement. This was a good deal, and it was then they understood the effect of the Shroud Store.
The rules of the two shops taken separately weren't of much use; if not outright deadly, they were basically pointless. But combining the two shops turned them into one, immediately providing a puppet to fight in their stead, and even capable of shielding them from a deathblow.
"Not bad."
Chen Miao smiled, nodded, and strode into the Shroud Store next door. After emerging, he entered the Wax Museum and when he came out, a featureless wax figure in a shroud now followed beside him.
The wax figure was as tall as he was, with a similar build but no face, just like a plastic clothing mannequin with a flat face.
If those two women who went to the public toilet last night had such a thing, they wouldn't have died.
Most people passing by Chen Miao would express their gratitude, thankful that Chen Miao was willing to share the information.
...
Chen Miao, with a calm expression, didn't respond; he didn't mind sharing things that didn't harm his interests, but he definitely wouldn't give up something that could only benefit a small number of people.
After all, the people around him had been with him for a long time, and it was more important to him to protect the lives of those close to him.
The third building.
Was a meat shop.
They were currently at the entrance of the town and hadn't ventured deep inside. Since entering the town last night, they had stayed at the entrance on the blue-brick road. They had seen the meat shop last night, of course, but nobody had dared to go in.
Soon—
The rules of the meat shop emerged.
'Building Rule': This place used to be a famous meat shop. The butcher had excellent skills in killing pigs for many years. After death, due to a grievance, he became a Fierce Ghost that wanders within the meat shop. Although he has lost most of his memories, the task of pig slaughter is etched in his mind.
It will chase and kill all creatures that enter the meat shop and touch the ground with both hands and feet.
It won't rest until it kills.
"Hmm."
Chen Miao nodded and gestured for Hungry Monkey and the others to draw a red cross on the door of the shop as a warning to others not to enter, "This building has no benefits, only risks, but it doesn't involve a rule-based kill. I might be able to handle it if I go in."
A rule-based kill is like the one outside the town's public toilet—satisfy the rule, and you die.
There's no way around it.
But entering this meat shop meant you'd just be chased by the butcher, it wasn't certain death. In theory, as long as you can defeat the butcher in the meat shop, there's no risk. He had fought with Fierce Ghosts multiple times and believed he had some unique methods to deal with them.
But even if he killed the Fierce Ghost, it wouldn't benefit him. Naturally, he was reluctant to do something that had risks without benefits.
Normally, one's hands and feet definitely wouldn't touch the ground simultaneously, except in certain situations, like doing push-ups. But as long as you don't do push-ups inside the shop, it's fine.
Or if you fall over.
In the event of a fall, the hands instinctively touch the ground to support the body, inadvertently fulfilling the rule of being chased.
In other words.
As long as you don't do push-ups or fall down in the meat shop, even if you stroll around inside, there's no danger. But it's still safer not to enter if it can be helped.
"Heh."
Hungry Monkey stood at the entrance of the meat shop, poking his head inside curiously to look around, "Looks like a pretty small room. There shouldn't be any oil or anything on the floor to intentionally make players trip and fall, right?"
Just then—
A wave of commotion came from the crowd behind them; it seemed someone had died, and Hungry Monkey quickly withdrew his head and excitedly ran into the crowd to find out what was happening. He was always keen on such gossip.
