Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Chapter 5 Dinner Time

Out of the corner of his eye, Wuyin saw that the toes of the shoes in front of him were pointing to the side. Only then did he raise his head and grin at Paige, pretending to be as happy as George.

And as if by magic, three strawberries appeared in Peppa's hand.

"George, you can eat strawberries if you're hungry, but don't eat too many, you still have dinner later."

After handing the strawberries to Wuyin, Peppa left the room.

A mechanical voice echoed in Wuyin's mind.

Peppa's favorability increases by 10.

Wuyin looked at the strawberry in her hand; it was one of George's favorite foods.

Although it was given by a strange person, it looks no different from a regular strawberry.

Wuyin is unsure whether the strawberries are dangerous or effective, so she can't make a decision blindly and has temporarily hidden them under her pillow.

The people watching the live stream from China: ...

"How come this weirdo is actually being soft-hearted this time! Wuyin cried a couple of times and not only resolved the crisis, but also received food from the weirdo. Does that make sense?"

"Oh crap, your Dragon Kingdom's Chosen Ones are so cowardly. You got lucky this time, but you won't be so lucky next time."

"You still have the nerve to talk about our Dragon Country? Your Chosen One from the Cherry Blossom Country was so scared he wet the bed, hahaha."

"This is so embarrassing, you should go back to your country's live stream."

"Damn it! You..."

Seeing that Wuyin had easily resolved two crises, the people of the Dragon Kingdom felt more confident and responded to the negative comments on the screen.

Dragon Kingdom Rules and Strange Tales Command Center.

Commander Red stared intently at the boy's figure in the live stream, his tone resolute.

"This young man seems to have his own ideas, and we must be his strongest shield."

"Have you found his family members?"

The Red Commander's assistant stepped forward.

"Reporting to Commander Red, he only has a ten-year-old sister, and the two depend on each other for survival."

Upon hearing this, Commander Red fell into deep thought.

"He only has a ten-year-old sister? Let's go out and find a high-paid nanny to take care of his sister temporarily."

"When we use up the next hint opportunity, we'll ask him what he thinks. It would be best to bring her here; that way, we can better protect her."

"Yes, Commander Red."

Inside the Dragon Kingdom livestream room, Wuyin checked all the items in the room again, but found nothing new.

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"

The cuckoo clock on the wall chimed, and the cuckoo toy inside popped out, but strangely, the toy had no head.

Wuyin remembered that the cuckoo clock would chime every hour on the hour. He looked up at the time on the wall and saw that it was already 6 p.m.

He gripped the dinosaur plush toy tightly in his hand, preparing to go downstairs for dinner.

Because I was familiar with the layout of Peppa Pig's house, I quickly arrived at the kitchen.

At that moment, Peppa was sitting sideways at the dining table, staring intently at Wuyin with a stiff and eerie smile on her face.

"George, I made your favorite dish. Come and have dinner."

Wuyin didn't say anything and went straight to the dining table.

On each side of the table was a serving of curry chicken rice and a plate of vegetable salad.

Wuyin sat on the other side of the table. He picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of curry chicken rice. It looked and tasted exactly like ordinary curry chicken rice.

Peppa Pig, who was standing nearby, also began to enjoy her dinner. She buried her snout in her food and kept grunting as she ate.

There was still a trace of oil on the corner of his mouth, as if he was eating an extremely delicious meal.

Although pigs are omnivores, in the original comics, Peppa Pig and her family also eat chicken.

But Wuyin looked at Peppa Pig's eating habits and then at the chicken on the spoon, and had no appetite at all.

After all, this is a strange rule; who knows what kind of meat he'll eat? Besides, he only needs to survive for 7 days to clear the level, so he can completely avoid eating meat.

He then looked at the vegetable salad next to him; the vegetarian dishes made him feel less resistant.

When Wuyin brought the plate of vegetable salad to herself, she suddenly felt a gaze staring straight at her, making her feel very uncomfortable.

He tilted his head slightly and glanced at Paige out of the corner of his eye.

Peppa's entire pig face was still buried in the curry chicken rice, but her two eyes on the side were staring straight at Wuyin.

His eyes seemed to be filled with extreme excitement, causing his eyeballs to be covered with many red veins.

Wuyin calmed herself down, picked up a fork, and used it to pick up the vegetables.

Peppa seemed even more excited, her whole body trembling slightly, as if she were about to open her mouth wide and devour the silent heart at any moment.

Wuyin's fork fell to the ground, and the vegetables returned to the plate. Peiqi's eyes widened, and she seemed quite disappointed.

As Wuyin picked up the vegetables and put them back on the plate each time, the vegetable salad gradually took on the shape of a dinosaur.

Paige saw the vegetable dinosaur on the silent plate, and her pupils trembled slightly.

“Joe…it’s George…no…”

Paige's voice was so soft that only she could hear it.

Seeing that the vegetables in front of him were already laid out, Wuyin tentatively took a bite, and nothing happened.

But after taking a bite of vegetables, a cool sensation entered his brain, making him feel as if his thinking had become more agile.

Silent Spirit Value +1%

"These vegetables... can actually increase mental energy..."

Wuyin took another bite, and it still tasted familiar.

Wuyin's mental energy was already full, but he still ate the remaining vegetables on his plate because the more important function of these foods was to replenish his physical strength.

At this time, the chosen one of the Sakura Kingdom, Yoichi Yamada.

He was sitting at the table looking at the food on it, while cautiously glancing out of the corner of his eye at Peppa Pig, who was eating with great relish.

Normally, mealtimes and sleeptimes in the regular ghost stories are not dangerous, but this is an S-class ghost story, and even Yamada Yoichi dares not take the risk.

But he has already exhausted the country's guidance and his own talents, and now he can only take it one step at a time.

He thought about it. Rule Seven said that George should eat more vegetables. He wasn't sure if there was a catch in this rule, but it didn't say that he couldn't eat curry chicken rice.

The rules don't leave out conditions that guarantee certain death, so theoretically, this curry chicken rice is edible.

Yoichi Yamada scooped up a spoonful of rice and smelled it carefully; there was no other strange smell.

So he took a small bite, and it was no different from ordinary curry chicken rice, and nothing strange happened.

His stomach was growling with hunger, so he took another, slightly larger bite, but nothing happened.

He gradually grew bolder, and this time he scooped up a spoonful containing pieces of chicken.

He tasted it and found that the chicken pieces were not dry at all, but tender, juicy, and delicious.

Chapter 6 Soft and Tender Chicken

He couldn't help but start eating heartily, becoming more and more addicted to it, and gradually buried his head in his plate, munching away like Peppa Pig.

"This is so delicious! How can chicken be made so tender and bouncy?"

Yamada Yoichi’s mental value is 49%

Yamada Yoichi’s mental value is 48%

……

Yamada Yoichi’s mental value is 40%

His mental energy was rapidly decreasing, but he was completely unaware of it.

After finishing the last bite, Yoichi Yamada patted his beer belly contentedly and let out a burp.

He checked his mental state and found it had reached 100%.

A smug smile appeared on his face: "This food is not only delicious, but it can also restore your energy."

He glanced at the vegetable salad next to him and lost all appetite, so he simply decided not to eat it.

But he didn't notice that while he was enjoying his meal, Paige was staring intently at him with a strange smile.

Everyone outside the screen could see Yamada Yoichi's mental state, while the leader of the Sakura Kingdom was frowning and staring intently at the screen.

"What is this idiot talking about, restoring mental energy? I think he's lost his mind."

The expert stood by, explaining cautiously.

"Sir, this curry chicken rice will reduce a person's mental value by 10% and cause hallucinations, which is why he mistakenly thought his mental value was 100%."

"But we've already used up our clues, and with his current mental strength, he doesn't have enough food for seven days, so... there's a more than 7% chance this ghost story instance will fail."

The leader of the Sakura Kingdom grabbed the teacup beside him and smashed it over the head of the expert who was reporting to him.

Blood immediately flowed down his forehead and into his eyes, stinging slightly, but the expert didn't even dare to wipe it away, just kneeling on the ground trembling.

"You bunch of useless idiots! You only just figured out this trap that was obvious at a glance. If you hadn't suggested using the hints from the beginning, would we be in such a passive position now?"

"Yoichi Yamada is a complete waste. Since he enjoys being a pig so much, let's confiscate all the gold coins in his house as punishment for his failure in the rule-breaking mystery."

"Yes."

The ghost story expert kneeling on the ground responded and hurriedly withdrew.

Commander Hong observed this scene carefully, his fingers stroking his chin.

"Chicken... soft, tender, and bouncy?"
