Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Fortunately, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky, breaking the dull atmosphere.

Several helicopters flew over the village and lowered several ladders.

Commander Red Dragon also breathed a sigh of relief. He needed time to properly digest the true nature of Wuxin and said to the others.

"let's go."

Everyone nodded and climbed the ladder onto the helicopter.

Meanwhile, the leaders of the British Empire and the Bear Kingdom also heard the mechanical announcement instructing the Chosen Ones to return on their own. They were hesitating whether to send their own country's helicopters to pick up the Chosen Ones.

Chapter 125 The Dragon Kingdom's Reward

But at this moment, the leaders of the British Empire were somewhat uneasy.

They discerned Charlie's personality during the live stream, realizing that he was somewhat impulsive and very ambitious.

For this reason, the leader of the British Empire deliberately or unintentionally revealed information about Wuyin to Charlie, with the aim of giving Charlie an opportunity to kill Wuyin.

Therefore, at this moment, Charlie's fate is likely to be one of only two possibilities.

The first scenario is that Charlie killed Wuyin and then escaped back on his own.

The second possibility is that Charlie was killed by Wuyin, and they lost contact with him thereafter.

The leaders of the British Empire simply chose not to send a helicopter to pick up Charlie.

After all, regardless of whether Charlie killed Wuyin or not, if he could really escape, he could always find a chance to come back.

The worst-case scenario is that Charlie is killed by Wuyin. If they send a plane to pick him up, but he is kidnapped by the Dragon Kingdom, then it would be a huge loss.

Now that the strange tales have descended upon us, resources are extremely scarce in all countries. Even a helicopter and a pilot are considered very precious resources for the British Empire.

Moreover, Charlie's talent is only C-level, Charisma, which makes humans feel naturally good toward him, but only to humans, and is completely ineffective against the supernatural.

So this is one of the ways Charlie was able to attract Martha.

But actually, this talent wasn't enough to make Martha fall in love with him directly. The main reason Martha fell in love with him was probably that the two were kindred spirits.

The people in the Bear Country were unaware that Martha and Charlie had devised such a plan.

The live stream of the Ghost Village Tales was interrupted after the story was completed. The plans were discussed privately by Charlie and Martha after the tales ended, so they weren't worried at all that the Dragon Kingdom would find out about the plans before they were finished.

However, the two should have already met on the road to the underworld by now, and even if others know their ambitions, they can't do anything about it.

The Bear Kingdom considered itself to have a good relationship with the Dragon Kingdom, so the Bear Kingdom's leaders naturally assumed that since the Dragon Kingdom's leaders were also involved in this strange tale, they would not allow the Bear Kingdom's chosen ones to remain within the Dragon Kingdom's territory.

Therefore, the leaders of the Bear Kingdom did not intend to send a helicopter to the Dragon Kingdom to pick up their chosen ones.

The Red Dragon was still seething with anger, waiting for the two countries to come and ask so he could give them a good scolding, but the two countries didn't actually ask a single question.

Red Dragon even suspected that the two countries were secretly involved in Charlie and Martha's affair, but he couldn't be bothered to care anymore.

After all, when you have enough ability, would you really go to great lengths to chase after an ant that once bit you?

Wuyin and her group quickly returned to the villa.

Upon their return, they heard news of the bombings in the United States online.

After Patton entered the ghost story, unrest immediately broke out in the United States.

Many people felt that Patton would not live to see the end of the ghost story, so various factions began to vie for the leadership position, successively using benefits to win over others to vote.

However, everyone felt that they could also take the position, and some people thought that Patton would not die in the ghost story and did not want to offend Patton, so they did not vote, and the vote did not result in any outcome.

Once Patton's death was confirmed, capitalists from various powerful factions in the United States openly began vying for leadership.

Some terrorist groups have even begun to kill and rob with impunity.

At this point, no one dared to delay any longer and cast their votes, hoping to elect a leader as soon as possible to suppress these terrorists.

The final vote resulted in two capitalists winning, followed by a final vote.

One of the capitalists was able to run for office because he wanted to seize the leadership of the Ugly Kingdom and then lead everyone to defect to the Dragon Kingdom.

He felt that in this age of ghost stories, humanity should work together to confront the bizarre, rather than engaging in infighting.

This idea received support from many clear-headed people, but in the end he lost to another, more powerful capitalist by ten votes.

The winner basically relied entirely on the lure of benefits and the buying of people's hearts to win the votes. Although the cost was heavy, he was about to take the leadership position, and how to make money would depend entirely on his word.

When Wu Yin heard people talking about this news, she just thought it was funny.

But little did he know that this amusement would soon affect him as well.

……

That night, mechanical sounds filled the air.

[Congratulations to Wuyin, the Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom, for successfully conquering the Ghost Village Tales.]

[A reward of 10% increase in the average attractiveness of the Dragon Kingdom's population.]

[Reward: Dragon Kingdom technology, artificial incubation chamber, capable of painlessly nurturing newborns.]

[This is a reward for the Dragon Kingdom's economic growth, its comprehensive social welfare system, and the fact that medical care and education are completely free.]

[Reward for Wuyin: Physical ability increased by 2%, talent "Luck" upgraded to C-level Luck.]

Everyone in the Dragon Kingdom was excited when they heard the notification, except for Wuyin, who sat on the bed contemplating life.

"This is the best solution to the declining birth rate."

The previous plans proposed by the government were completely ineffective; they were merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

Not only has this improved their appearance, making them more attractive in relationships, but the prenatal intensive care unit also allows for painless childbirth, and the benefits are comprehensive, with free medical care and education. It truly solves the problem of young people being hesitant to have children.

"Am I the only one who feels that love is useless to me? I stopped believing in love a long time ago. My heart is sealed with cement. I don't know how many men have hurt me."

"Sigh, me too. My ex-girlfriend hurt me in so many ways, my heart is already broken."

(Photo: A profile picture of a handsome man covering his mouth.)

(BGM for the text: If melancholy is also a talent.)

"Actually, it's not that you can't believe in love again. Hey handsome upstairs, are you looking for a partner?"

"Um... okay."

I hope this time my sincerity won't be betrayed again.

"...I'm going to bury one of you in the South Pole and the other in the North Pole."

"I am truly grateful to the great master Wuyin!"

I'm about to meet my boyfriend in person. Although he always compliments my looks, I was a little insecure, afraid he wouldn't like me in real life. Now I feel much more confident.

"Hugs to my sister! Don't worry about your appearance, just be confident and be yourself!"

Wuyin didn't care about his appearance improving at all; he only cared about whether the personal rewards could increase his survival rate.

Seeing that the system only rewarded him with an increase in physical fitness and an upgrade in his lucky talent, he instantly felt very aggrieved.

Didn't I travel from another time?

Where is my cheat code?

What about my extra talents and skills?

Why is it that my sister has two super S-level talents when she transmigrates, while I only have an F-level talent and have to slowly improve it on my own?

However, Wuyin was confused for a while before comforting herself.

Previously, it would take at least a thousand hits to trigger a fatal attack, but now it only takes a hundred hits to trigger one, which is a significant improvement.

Thinking about this made Wuyin feel a little better.

Sleepiness came over him, and he lay down, ready to get a good night's sleep.

……

The next morning, both Wuyin and Li Fan were woken up by Wuxin's screams.

Wuyin suddenly opened her eyes from the bed, barely managing to put on one shoe, and ran to Wuxin's room.

He also encountered Li Fan, who had the same messy hair and looked nervous, at the door of Wu Xin's room.

The two exchanged bewildered glances, and when they saw Wuxin inside the open room, seemingly unharmed, they both breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Chapter 126 A Call from the Leader of the Bear Kingdom

Wuyin couldn't help but walk into the room and speak to Wuxin inside.

"What happened so early in the morning? It gave us a fright."

Wu Xin put down the mirror in her hand and looked at the two of them with a very serious expression.

"Have you noticed anything different about me today?"

Seeing Wu Xin's serious expression, Li Fan thought she was injured somewhere, so he carefully checked her entire body but found no wounds.

Wuyin shook her head, unable to see anything different about her younger sister.

Li Fan spoke first.

"Little sister, stop beating around the bush and just tell us directly."

Wu Xin then spoke mysteriously to the two of them.

"You guys didn't even notice how obvious it is? Each of my eyelashes has grown by 0.5mm, the lip color on my lips is a shade brighter, and even the bridge of my nose is a little higher."

Li Fan and Wu Yin stared blankly at Wu Xin, then shook their heads speechlessly, indicating that there was no difference at all.

Li Fan suddenly asked with some doubt.

"Didn't the mechanical voice give a warning last night?"

Everyone's appearance has increased by 10%, but I can't see it on either of your faces. Where exactly did that 10% come from?

Wuyin also turned her head and glanced at the two of them, nodding in agreement.

Wu Xin said with some surprise.

"So this is a reward from the strategy guide for ghost stories?"
