Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

"Click—"

The sound of shattering came clearly.

[Detection detected: Chosen One Shen Xingzhuo has completed the 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon' mission. She successfully exposed Pei Jinyu's marriage as a deception. She successfully released her resentment, bringing new life to Pei Yin.]

The current progress of the "Guanyin Brocade" supernatural tale storyline has reached 50%! Rewards for the progress of the quests for the Chosen One Shen Xingzhuo and the Tianxia Kingdom are now being distributed!

[The Tianxia Kingdom's national fortune value will increase by 50 points!]

[Reward: Tianxia Kingdom will randomly purify 5 cities! Each purified city will also receive 10 tons of purification supplies!]

The voice from the ghost story reverted to its usual hollow tone when the rewards were distributed.

The rewards were distributed one by one, making the people of Tianxia Kingdom overjoyed.

But Shen Xingzhuo listened with a blank, dead-fish-like expression on his face.

Have you completed the "Mirror Flower, Water Moon" mission?

Why didn't you tell me about this mission after I left the ghost story?

[The chosen one, Shen Xingzhuo, is awarded 300 personal points. These points can also be used to exchange for supplies in the shop and will be distributed after the supernatural tale concludes.]

When the ghost story mentioned her personal reward, her voice was intermittent, as if the signal was being affected by some kind of "radio wave".

After stammering through the entire sentence, a deafening thunderous sound erupted.

[Upon investigation, it was found that the chosen one, Shen Xingzhuo, did not complete the full storyline during the mission. Instead, he chose to use his own advantages to forcibly break the deadlock, thus disrupting the arrangement of the supernatural tale!]

Therefore, the punishment for the chosen one, Shen Xingzhuo, will be announced!

[After verification, the punishment for the Chosen One, Shen Xingzhuo, is as follows!]

There are three punishments in total!

One: Struck by lightning three times!

Second: Randomly deduct one of the chosen one's reward items!

Three: 250 points will be deducted from the Chosen One's personal score!

If there are no objections, proceed immediately!

[Countdown begins, punishment will begin in ten minutes!]

The verdict on the strange tale caused an uproar, both at the Tianxia Kingdom's command headquarters and among those watching the celestial canopy.

[What's going on? Isn't this a bit too much of a joke? My sister Shen got to where she is today through her own hard work!]

[Struck by lightning three times? What kind of good person could withstand that? Is this some kind of cultivation practice?]

I watch ghost stories because I want Sister Shen to die!

[It's chilling to think about; the attitude of these ghost stories clearly indicates they don't want us to succeed, treating our names as mere playthings!]

Should we continue to comply?

【This isn't the time to talk about this! Let's think of a way to save Sister Shen!】

[Captain Guan! Captain Guan! Think of something quick!]

We'd rather not have the reward! As long as there are still strange things happening in the city, that's fine! We just want Sister Shen to be alright!

The voices of the people of Tianxia are sincere and heartfelt.

After all, even if there are strange things in the city, they can still rely on the special operations team and their own wisdom to avoid them.

But if something were to happen to Shen Xingzhuo, who had been holding the line all along, they couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be!

It's common for a new chosen one to succeed or fail in the supernatural tales; they're used to it.

However, the spirit that the nation had painstakingly built up because of Shen Xingzhuo could very well dissipate just like that!

Make them feel fear!

The feeling of waking up every day and not knowing whether you will live or die is just awful.

Nobody wants to experience it again!

Inside the command room, Guan Shanyue was serious, calculating whether the national fortune points she used to exchange for lightning-resistant items for Shen Xingzhuo could withstand three lightning punishments.

Just as she was about to re-enter the National Fortune Value Exchange Space, she saw Shen Xingzhuo making sign language to her from the sky.
