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

Shen Xingzhuo raised an eyebrow. "Having choices is a good thing... but if there are too many applicants and not enough available options, it might just be a disaster."

Thanks to her successive victories and the appearance of the spiritual spring, the polluted area within the Tianxia Kingdom has shrunk rapidly and has been effectively cleaned up.

The strange creatures had already ceased to run rampant within Tianxia's territory long before she entered the "Guanyin Brocade".

She had discussed this matter with Guan Shanyue at that time.

With all other countries trapped in trouble, only Tianxia Kingdom is able to remain unscathed, which will inevitably make it a thorn in the side of other countries.

If this situation continues to develop, it is difficult to guarantee that some countries that still retain a certain level of strength will not launch a coordinated attack.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Before the emergence of the strange tales, there were many countries in the star field whose military strength far surpassed that of the Tianxia Kingdom.

Although these countries all lost some of their elite troops to varying degrees after the bizarre invasion.

But everyone is too busy dealing with this sudden crisis to have time to break through current technological limitations.

Therefore, after talking with Guan Shanyue, they both agreed that Tianxia Kingdom should not take the risk.

Even when one country is in a position of "monopoly," it is appropriate to lend a helping hand to suitable countries.

However, things didn't go as planned, and the ghost story unexpectedly "kindly" gave them the power to choose to purify the city.

This directly shattered the possibility of Tianxia Kingdom "growing its fortune in silence".

You seem quite satisfied; you didn't find any fault with it.

Shen Xingzhu sneered inwardly, but calmly answered the question about the ghost story: "Satisfied, I'm satisfied if there's a reward."

Feeling a bit tired, she simply sat down on the spot and found a comfortable position.

【Row. 】

The voice in the ghost story wasn't exactly gritting its teeth, but Shen Xingzhuo could sense that the wielding ghost was secretly competing with it.

This is different from before when her emotions were more outwardly expressed.

This one is clearly more preoccupied.

[Chosen One Talent Reflection Rewards]

Tianxia Kingdom's "Spiritual Qi Restoration - Level 2 Buff" grants 315 experience points. Current progress (680/1000)

[The conditions for upgrading the buff have not been met.]

However, given that the progress is more than halfway complete, the buff effect still maintains a slight increase.

【『Spiritual Qi Restoration - Level 2 Buff』:

Every time the Chosen Ones of Tianxia Kingdom are in the midst of strange tales, they will purify the eerie atmosphere and fog of reality at a rate of 13% per day.

There is a 1.2% chance that a "Spiritual Qi Spring" will appear in the completely purified city. The water from this spring can be used to eliminate spiritual pollution from humans.

[Chosen One Personal Buff, 'Bewitching Mind - Level 1' buff, grants 315 experience points. Current progress (680/500)]

The conditions for upgrading the buff have been met.

Whenever the chosen one faces something strange, they can randomly gain 5-10 minutes of 'mental resistance' to resist the mental pollution caused by the strange!

There is also a 5% chance that, while possessing mental resistance, you can make the supernatural obey one of your commands.

However, Chosen Ones, please note that the success rate of commanding the supernatural is extremely low. Upon failure, all nearby supernatural entities will go berserk. Please assess the risks yourself.

The escalation of delusion is inevitable.

But Shen Xingzhuo never expected that he would have the opportunity to directly command the strange creature.

Although the chances of success are extremely low, she might as well try combining this skill with Taoist techniques...

Perhaps she could try it in the next ghost story.

Shen Xingzhuo had made up her mind.

[Chosen One Individual Points Calculation:]

Unlock all ghost story scenes - add 300 points;

Unlock and practice all the rules—earn 500 points;

Complete the hidden quest – earn 2000 points;

First SS-rank mystery clear - +1500 points...

The strange tale was announcing Shen Xingzhuo's points, but for some reason it suddenly stopped.

Unlike its usual deliberate pauses, Shen Xingzhuo heard it try to speak several times, but it seemed unable to convince itself and hesitated to continue.
