When I was in a world of unconventional rules and taboos

Compared to Su Ming's "smooth" progress, Kudo Yuma's situation was not so easy.

Faced with the cat-faced old woman's malicious price increase, he naturally could not agree and stubbornly held onto his bottom line, unwilling to budge.

Even if you sold him, twenty gold ingots wouldn't be enough!

Moreover, Rule Seven clearly states that the other party is greedy and that her demands should not be easily granted, so he is naturally aware of the danger involved.

Fortunately, his innate ability is A-level [Persuader], which can add special magic to his language, making the person being persuaded unconsciously accept his opinion.

It is also used as a bargaining chip in negotiations.

This is why he was so confident that he could persuade the villagers.

As a result, before he could even open his mouth to perform, Su Daqiang pinned him to the ground, broke all his good teeth, and beat him half to death, almost killing him on the spot.

However, this time the situation is different.

The cat-faced old woman was clearly persuaded by his words, and gradually reduced the price from twenty gold ingots to ten gold ingots.

However, after bargaining down to ten gold ingots for a jar of lamp oil, the cat-faced old woman was unwilling to lower the price any further; clearly, this was her bottom line.

But Kudo Yuma only had nine gold ingots left at this moment.

We were still missing the crucial gold ingot to buy a jar of lamp oil.

He did consider buying half a can, but half a can wouldn't last until the seventh day.

So, just when he was in a dilemma, the cat-faced old woman finally made an unexpected condition.

"Guest, I can sell you a jar of lamp oil at half price. In return, you need to provide a dead body as compensation."

A dead corpse plus five gold ingots can be exchanged for a jar of lamp oil?!

This undoubtedly broke through Kudo Yuma's psychological defenses.

Not only can you obtain the crucial "lamp oil," but you can also keep four gold ingots for protection.

Ever since he hired the bandaged monster with a gold ingot to deal with the beast horde, he has come to understand just how precious these gold ingots are.

If he could keep a few protective items as a trump card, he would most likely be able to leave this strange tale instance alive.

However, how do you find the dead body?

There are plenty of mass graves, but would he dare to dig them up?!

If things go wrong, it could mean death!

However, Kudo Yuma agreed anyway.

"I can provide the body, but don't come back in a few days to pick it up!"

Yes!

On this mountain of graves, he still has a corpse he can use!

That's the "grandfather" in the coffin inside the house.

Indeed, he was so filial that he prepared to exchange "Grandpa" and five gold ingots for a jar of lamp oil.

Kudo Yuma believed that even if there were any problems, he would be safe and sound thanks to his key identity as a "grandson".

Of course, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Kudo Yuma stated that he would hand over "Grandpa's" body to the cat-faced old woman only after the seventh day, when he had finished keeping vigil.

He had already prepared for the possibility that the cat-faced old woman would disagree, and had prepared a whole bunch of arguments to "persuade" her.

However, to his surprise, the other party readily agreed, took a jar of freshly brewed lamp oil from the handcart, presented it to Kudo Yuma, and accepted a deposit of five gold ingots.

"Guest, I will come to you for your 'corpse' on Ghost Festival, as you promised me."

The cat-faced old woman's sinister laughter sent chills down Kudo Yuma's spine, giving him goosebumps, as if he had done something wrong.

However, what shocked him even more was what the Ghost Festival was all about.

Is the seventh day of the vigil the Ghost Festival?!

The sudden turn of events disrupted Kudo Yuma's train of thought, leaving him momentarily stunned. By the time he came to his senses, the cat-faced old woman had already disappeared into the mist, pushing her cart.

All that remained was a chilling laugh.

.....

Ghost Stories Dungeon.

Aaron of the Sunset Empire is currently experiencing the same situation as Kudo Yuma.

However, unlike the purchase by Kudo Yuma, this was different.

He chose an extreme "path".

He actually took out all the gold ingots he had and "hired" a large group of strange and eerie creatures from the mass grave to attack the cat-faced old woman.

Before the bewildered cat-faced old woman could react, she was suddenly "attacked" and driven away by a large group of bizarre and strange creatures, leaving behind a cart full of "goods".

The angry roar the cat-faced old woman let out as she fled meant that she would definitely come back for revenge.

This unexpected move left audiences from around the world completely bewildered.

You can even play like this!

They didn't even bother with a transaction; they just robbed them outright!

This is undoubtedly a violation of the rules!

However, Aaron obtained a cartload of "lamp oil" from the cat-faced old woman in the same way as Su Ming.

In an instant, Aaron, this low-key nobody, became the focus of the world's attention.

All the surprised and shocked gazes were focused on the middle-aged man who was panting heavily and had a ferocious expression.

"I won the bet! I finally won!"

"I've had enough of this shitty world. I'm just an ordinary person. I have a family, a wife, and a daughter. I don't want to die. I want to live..."

"In this bizarre and fantastical world, normal human thinking simply cannot survive. Repeatedly following the rules will only lead to death. Only by breaking and trampling on the rules can one obtain the greatest benefit and leave this damned dungeon world alive."

"What that monster from the Dragon Kingdom can do, I can do too!"

Aaron's face was extremely ferocious and terrifying at this moment, and his eyes were flashing with fear, terror, surprise, excitement and madness.

He was prepared to fail and die, but he succeeded!

They successfully robbed the cat-faced old woman and stole a cart full of lamp oil.

In the real world, he is not a special forces soldier, a genius detective, or an elite in any industry; he is just an ordinary person.

An ordinary person with extremely low profile and almost no distinguishing features.

Even if he suddenly disappeared and died, the only people who would remember him would probably be his family and wife.

For others, it might just be a sudden realization: "Oh, so there's such a person."

Aaron knew very well that he had been able to survive until now not because he was particularly smart, but because of his "invisible man" talent and his cautious nature.

The series of unforeseen events had begun to break this ordinary middle-aged man.

His mental fortitude is not as strong as that of other chosen ones. What has kept him going until now is his longing for his family in the real world and his desire to live.

In this situation, this ordinary person finally began to go to extremes and embark on a new path.

He's gone mad!

He is the second chosen one, after Su Ming, to learn to trample on the rules.
