I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

The strangest thing was the noise coming from the tents. The people inside were clearly not moving, but there was a constant "crunching" sound of chewing.

Dark red liquid oozed from beneath some of the tents, winding into strange patterns on the mud.

Occasionally there were some people passing by. They all looked listless, with sunken eye sockets and dry, cracked lips that kept moving.

When they looked at the pet beside Zhang Yangqing, their Adam's apples rolled up and down unconsciously, and their eyes flashed with hungry green light.

But after sensing the dangerous aura emanating from the pets, they all lowered their heads in fear and hurried away with weak steps.

"Is there a famine here?" Zhang Yangqing frowned slightly.

But just as he had this thought, several restaurants with fairly exquisite decoration suddenly appeared in front of him.

On the bright windows were posted tempting slogans such as "Free Dining" and "Unlimited Supply". At the door stood a uniformed waiter, giving passers-by a standard smile.

The tempting aroma of meat wafted out from the restaurant, and the aroma seemed to penetrate into people's bones and arouse the most primitive appetite.

Zhang Yangqing's stomach couldn't help but growl.

There's nothing I can do. I'm a little hungry late at night.

But then he became alert. The fragrance was too deliberate, as if it was deliberately luring people in.

Zhang Yangqing felt that this must be a hint of something. If there really was free food, why were there so many starving homeless people around?
These indigenous people who can survive in the slums obviously know the rules here better than anyone else.

The best warning is that they would rather starve than step into these restaurants.

After passing the previous few levels, the chosen ones found a pattern, that is, each level seemed to correspond to a rule.

Then perhaps by finding the rules corresponding to this level, we can find the existence of the fantasy beast BOSS.

In addition to the hidden BOSS, Zhang Yangqing sorted out the possible situations that may occur in this level.

For example, the [Lake] in Rule 2, and the [Winged Horse], [Baby Crying], [Square Clock Tower] and so on in the subsequent rules.

They must be very crucial clues.

Zhang Yangqing tried to strike up a conversation with a passerby, wanting to ask if there were similar places here, but the passerby was so hungry that he couldn't speak.

When Zhang Yangqing gave him food, he waved his hands to refuse, as if this was not what he wanted to eat.

Zhang Yangqing continued to ask a few passers-by, and the situations were similar. They would only talk if they were given the "food" they wanted. However, the restaurant was obviously a scam, and the chosen ones did not get the food they wanted.

Just when the other chosen ones were at a loss, Zhang Yangqing had already found a clue.

I still remember that I encountered a 'similar' situation in the previous level.

That is, there will be many identical buildings, and you can find the clue as long as you find the different one.

In this place, there are hungry people and free restaurants.

Then all I have to do is find someone who doesn't look that hungry, or a restaurant that's paying for food. There must be some clues.

After searching for a while in this messy and strange slum, Zhang Yangqing's sharp eyes locked on an inconspicuous restaurant, because there was no "free" sign at the door of the restaurant, but instead a simple "open" wooden sign was hung.

This feeling of being out of place, coupled with the fact that if you don't look carefully you will almost forget it, is the store Zhang Yangqing is looking for.

After adjusting his collar, Zhang Yangqing pushed the door open with his pets.

The wind chimes at the door made a crisp "ding-ling" sound, as if reminding the people inside that a guest had arrived.

The restaurant was dimly lit, with only a listless waiter standing behind the counter.

He was thin, but much better than those skinny homeless people outside. When he saw a customer coming in, he just raised his eyelids lazily, and didn't seem to have the intention of actively asking the customer.

Zhang Yangqing did not rush to order food, but looked around first.

Because you have just entered a strange place, you must first understand the taboos of this place.

Then observing other people's behavior is the key to survival.

There were only two guests in the huge restaurant:

Sitting by the window was a short-haired, bespectacled man with extremely well-developed muscles. His exaggerated biceps almost burst his shirt.

He was reading the newspaper intently, pushing his glasses up on his nose from time to time.

The strangest thing is that there is no energy fluctuation on his body, but he gives people a very powerful feeling.

In the corner, there was a little fat boy with a happy face, wolfing down a chicken leg.

His greasy fingers and puffy cheeks were in stark contrast to the starving people outside.

Zhang Yangqing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, walked straight towards the fat man, and ordered five chicken legs from the menu.

When the hot chicken legs were served on the table, the fat boy's eyes widened.

"It's your turn." Zhang Yangqing pushed the plate over.

"Really? Thank you, thank you!" The little fat boy's voice was shaking with excitement, and he couldn't wait to grab a chicken leg and stuff it into his mouth.

Grease was dripping down the corners of his mouth, but he was unaware of it and said incoherently, "Dude, it looks like you are not from here."

When this conversation was triggered, Zhang Yangqing knew that he had found the key NPC, and he must know something.

He sat down and asked casually, "Yes, I'm curious. Those people outside are so hungry, why don't they come here to eat?"

The fat boy suddenly stopped chewing when he heard this, glanced at the door warily, and said in a low voice: "Those 'free' restaurants do provide food, but once you eat it, you will never be able to taste other food again."

He pointed to the chicken drumstick in front of him and said, "Like this, it's like chewing wax in their mouths."

Zhang Yangqing asked: "But why don't they continue to go in and eat for free?"

The little fat man smiled and said, “You will only get free food if you enter for the first time. If you enter later, you might become food.”

The reason why he dared to say that was that he must have seen something.

Next, Zhang Yangqing continued to ask the little fat man for information, asking him if he knew about places like [Lake], [Winged Horse], [Baby Crying], and [Square Clock Tower].

The little fat man thought for a moment and replied, "I want to help you, but to be honest with you, the reason I survived is that I don't care about many things as long as I find them strange."

After talking for a long time, the fat guy had already told all the information he could provide.

Zhang Yangqing looked at the muscular man. He always gave people the feeling that he really wanted someone to talk to him.

Because Zhang Yangqing noticed that when the muscular man was reading the newspaper, his peripheral vision was constantly looking over here.

Then the experienced Zhang Yangqing knew that the muscular man was cheating.

To be precise: the muscular man is now in some trouble, but in order to avoid being noticed, he pretends to be calm and waits for someone to talk to him, and then he lets these people solve the trouble.

The Chosen One who didn't see through it would definitely take the initiative to strike up a conversation, and then would actively ask him to trick him, and the muscular man would take the initiative.

Zhang Yangqing saw this and decided to find a way to make the muscular man take the initiative and trick him!
