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

Shen Xingzhuo's gaze swept over the six cards once more.

"Spiritual spring crystals are more useful in ghost stories, but Captain Guan has already prepared fifty sealed portions for my use, so I won't need these for now."

"The functions of exorcising incense and the summoning bell are opposite, but the summoning bell can be used in combination with the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles... Exorcising incense is neither necessary nor irreplaceable."

"Five hundred plus fifty plus three hundred... that leaves six hundred and eighty."

As she thought about it, her brow gradually relaxed.

"I want to exchange for one 'Soul-Suppressing Rain of Pear Blossom Needles', two 'Soul-Summoning Bells', and..."

Shen Xingzhu stopped midway through what she was about to say.

Her eyes darted around, and she asked the eerie entity controlling the exchange, "Is that hyperdimensional communicator something that only requires one unit to achieve communication between the supernatural tales and the outside world?"

Given her cunning and treacherous nature, if she hadn't asked clearly, she might very well have bought back a useless person.

Not only would they lose valuable national assets for nothing, but they also wouldn't be able to get a "refund" or "return the goods," leaving them with no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

【Yes. 】

Shen Xingzhuo nodded. "So, both I and the Supreme Commander of Tianxia Kingdom can freely initiate communications, but only my stamina is deducted?"

She asked about everything, down to the smallest detail.

【Yes. 】

The Hyperdimensional Communicator has two patches. The Chosen One and the Supreme Commander only need to implant the patches into their skin to communicate freely. The communication effect is the same as the previous restricted communication.

However, if the dialogue is initiated by the nation's supreme commander, it will consume twice the Chosen One's energy.

【Chosen One Shen Xingzhuo, do you have any other questions?】

Clearly, the patience for exchanging for the strange item is rapidly running out.

But Shen Xingzhuo didn't care about its attitude at all. After hearing that the patch needed to be implanted into the skin, she had a new problem.

After all, it was something produced under mysterious circumstances, and she dared not gamble with Guan Shanyue's mental health.

"Won't implanting these so-called patches into the skin cause us psychological distress?"

【Won't.】

After receiving a positive response from the strange company, Shen Xingzhuo felt relieved.

"That's the three items I mentioned above, plus a hyperdimensional communicator."

【OK. 】

[The item has been delivered one meter in front of the Chosen One. This exchange consumed a total of 900 points of National Fortune Value, leaving Tianxia Kingdom with 630 points of National Fortune Value remaining.]

[Does the Chosen One wish to continue redeeming?]

Shen Xingzhu shook his head.

"But I have one more question."

"Previously, every time I settled my account, I was told that I could exchange Mystic Crystals for items in a special shop. Where is this special shop?"

[The Mysterious Crystal exchange is the highest-level exchange standard, and the exchange method will appear randomly in the ghost stories.]

Shen Xingzhuo understood; it was simply a matter of fate.

……

Shen Xingzhuo's twentieth day of rest.

The long-lost sky reappeared above the Tianxia Kingdom, casting a heavy gloom over the kingdom.

"I wonder what level of ghost story it will be this time," Lu Qianling said worriedly.

Only after experiencing it firsthand did she truly understand how strong a heart the Chosen Ones needed to face the bizarre at close range.

"I know our nutritional supplements won't be very effective for you, but Sister Shen, please at least drink some. Don't push your body to its limits any further, okay?"

Lu Qianling read aloud to Shen Xingzhuo and piled up the nutritional supplements she had prepared in front of him.

"it is good."

Shen Xingzhuo felt a lump in her throat, but before she could say anything, a burst of white light illuminated her surroundings.

Welcome back to the void, Chosen One, Shen Xingzhuo.

Are you ready to enter a new ghost story?
