I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 971 512: Murder (Strikethrough) Monster-Killing Rules

"So, have we changed maps again?" The Da Tianwei looked at this scene and made a remark.

After midnight on the tenth day, the three felt a tremor, then switched to a new area.

Fortunately, this time they weren't separated but entered a brand new house.

Their identities hadn't changed; they were still optimized employees. However, their memories were altered.

"You know, the three of us guys adopting a kid, isn't there something odd about that?" Gu Shanhai looked at the memory, feeling something was off: "I qualify for adoption, given my age, but you two younglings, not so much."

"If you'd just pay attention to your appearance, you wouldn't be a middle-aged man." The Da Tianwei looked at Gu Shanhai. By appearance, the three were clearly not in the same age bracket. However, in terms of age, they were quite similar, with perhaps a ten-year difference, trivial compared to their actual ages.

Ding-dong~

Before they finished chatting, the doorbell rang.

"Who's opening the door?" Gu Shanhai unhesitatingly lay back on the recliner, indicating he had already settled down.

The Da Tianwei reacted quickly too, instantly lying on the sofa.

Shura saw this and looked helpless: "I'll go, I'll go, you two really are..."

After opening the door, they saw a middle-aged woman with a child, but there was something odd about this child.

The child seemed to be trembling.

After some communication, this child turned out to be the one they adopted.

"Gulp~" The Da Tianwei swallowed hard looking at the child.

The child became increasingly fearful.

The three immediately realized that this child was no human, but a ghost disguised as one.

The ghost seemed to be playing its role, but its body shivered, daring not to act recklessly.

"Shall we have sashimi tonight?" The Da Tianwei was eager to act.

"Ahem, that might not be possible..." Shura said.

Because at that moment, everyone's memories were implanted with the challenge task of this round.

It's no longer a survival task but a task of getting ghosts to reveal themselves, with the goal of three ghosts.

Which means this is just the first; more ghosts will be sent subsequently.

There is definitely a ten-day time limit.

Then the Boss battle of this challenge will commence.

During this process, using force beyond the rules against ghosts will not count.

"That's a shame." The Da Tianwei scrutinized the ghost, unsure of its specific type, as it was constrained by the All Ghosts Survival Platform.

Gu Shanhai also scrutinized the ghost, realizing they were constrained by the rules too. For instance, he could only act against the ghost when alone with it following the task release, otherwise it violated the rules.

'Rule-based games, interesting.'

The other two likely had similar rules.

But due to the constraints, they couldn't reveal them.

'So the real issue isn't the ghost, but the house itself.' Gu Shanhai's gaze fell within the room, a sizable villa with a garden and pool.

The Air Wall was also present, enveloping the entire villa.

This once again limited Gu Shanhai's development ideas.

'It's clear now this instance likely targets the All Ghosts Survival Platform.'

'If you must divide it, this current instance is probably the ghosts' beginner instance, while the previous garden apartment was the novice instance.'

'The remaining three should be intermediate, advanced, and the final level.'

Gu Shanhai didn't have many ideas about this, but planned to study the scorching aura intercepted from the scorched monster. This aura was only detected by him, and if not intercepted, it might have returned to the All Ghosts Survival Platform.

This might relate to the core of the All Ghosts Survival Platform.

'The reward has arrived?' Gu Shanhai realized an alien object appeared behind him as he lay down, which he casually put away and then examined.

"When space ceases to rest"

Another book detailing space-related knowledge, which delighted Gu Shanhai. This book had many links with "World's Self-Development," greatly benefiting Gu Shanhai's growth.

Shura and the Da Tianwei also received their rewards simultaneously, evident from their satisfaction-exuding emotions.

'So now, it's truly imperative to complete the task within ten days.'

Initially, Gu Shanhai had few thoughts on it, but seeing the abundant rewards stirred his interest.

"Can you cook?" The Da Tianwei asked good-naturedly.

After just receiving benefits, his mood had improved considerably.

"No... I can't." The ghost responded reluctantly. Seeing Da Tianwei's sudden change in expression, he quickly added: "But I can learn, in a day, no, half a day at most!"

"Good, then the chores are yours. Better not mess up, or I'll choose to add a meal." The Da Tianwei showed his pearly whites.

This was actually directed not at the ghost but at Gu Shanhai and Shura.
