Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Clues and Rules
One must pay points for clues.
Han Dong initially thought he could get some ‘courtesy’ clues based on their relationship, but now he realized he might have been hoping for too much.
Just as Han Dong was ready to use the only points he had to start accumulating points in the inner layer region, Mr. Aha continued to ask:
“I remember you should still have 14 points, right?
How about this… you guys encountered an S-level ‘Strange Tales’ on your way, you can choose one of them, and I will sell you the clue at a low price of 14 points.”
Han Dong didn’t agree immediately, and asked:
“Thank you Mr. Aha, but I have a question.
The rewards for completing the S-level ‘Strange Tales’ should be different, right? There should be quite a substantial amount of points at least, right?”
“Aha! Of course…”
When coming to the inner layer region.
Han Dong has already prepared to tackle Strange Tales that were more challenging than the [General Mansion],
Moreover, the help that Mr. Aha is seeking must certainly have an S-level difficulty…getting accustomed to such difficulty in advance, understanding the rules of the inner layer region and earning a lot of points is nothing but good.
“Alright…then we choose the clue from the public toilet.”
Han Dong promptly avoided the terrifying centipede-like giant head.
During the ‘Giant Head’ chase, Han Dong’s group was not the only one who felt threatened.
All kinds of ‘Strange Tales’ along the way fled or hid… However, although the creature in the public toilet was also powerful, the ‘Dog Walker’ confronted it directly instead of avoiding it.
Han Dong suspected that the ‘Giant Head’ could rank high among all the S-level creatures.
As for the creature in the public toilet, at least it should be easier to deal with than the ‘Giant Head’.
Mr. Aha’s eyeballs turned around in his eye socket and revealed a strange grin, “Public toilet? Hehe… The thing inside is not simple… But you made the right choice.
You guys would suffer a lot if you had to deal with that ‘Giant Head’, after all, even I have a hard time dealing with it.”
Mr. Aha put on a pair of old-style frameless glasses, searching on the shelf for the corresponding clue.
“Got it!”
A file was pulled out by Mr. Aha from a dusty lower area.
[Abyssal Public Toilet]
Han Dong first pressed down on this file without intending to flip through it.
“Mr. Aha, the clue wouldn’t be just one sentence… Find the abandoned public toilet that makes ‘laughter’ and ‘slicing meat’ sounds, would it?”
“No… The rules of the inner layer region are quite different.
I will provide you with more detailed information.
The basic information about the ‘Strange Tales’, how to find them, will be all listed in the clue text, to help you prepare in advance.
You guys just happened to stumble upon the Strange Tale working in the public toilet last night.
That thing can randomly appear in any public bathrooms in the inner layer region… It will be too exhausting to try to find it out of thin air.
Aha… Don’t worry! We are friends, I won’t do you wrong.”
“Alright.”
All 14 remaining Strange Tales Points of Han Dong were deducted.
The file opened.
[Strange Tales – Abyssal Public Toilet]
The file has quite detailed data inside, and even includes many secretly taken photos.
The photos don’t give a direct view of the conditions inside the public toilet or how the Strange Tale itself looks.
But they capture a silhouette in the darkness.
Living inside the toilet is a person of larger stature, with fluffy hair, holding something similar to a chainsaw.
Combined with the saw-like tear marks on the dog’s neck, it was indeed caused by a chainsaw.
“Chainsaw Psycho?”
There is also an electronic card inside the file that can be used in conjunction with the electronic map Han Dong has.
When the card is combined with the map.
All public toilets in the inner layer region are marked… And ‘time interval’ and ‘probability of appearance’ are also indicated in detail.
Now, all they need to do is wait at the entrance of the toilets where there is a high probability of the creature’s appearance at the specific time.
Han Dong immediately felt that his 14 points were not wasted.
“Thank you, Mr. Aha… We will handle this matter as soon as possible.”
“No need to hurry, you can’t rush an S-level Strange Tale.
Also, the matter I need your help with is not urgent. Take this chance to get used to the real environment of the amusement park… Escaping from that giant head on your first entry to the deep layer of the amusement park shows that you do have the ability to help me.”
Seeing Mr. Aha lie down, ready for a nap.
Han Dong followed him and gently helped him swing the recliner, tentatively asking:
“Um… By the way, Mr. Aha.
Can you tell us some of the [rules] of the inner layer amusement park?
For example, can we simply kill off any Strange Tale on the street to exchange for points from you?
Also, we would like to know more about the ‘lighthouse’ issue.”
Mr. Aha looked at Han Dong, “You have a lot of questions…Technically, this information should cost you.”
“Could you just share some free information?”
“In consideration of the favor you did for me by handling the [General Mansion], let me tell you one thing… Didn’t I tell you not to think about ‘farming’ points?
Don’t think it’s easy to earn points just because there are so many ‘Strange Tales’ all over the street.
All those who live in the inner layer of the amusement park are not simple… and they all have corresponding organizations.
If you arbitrarily exterminate these Strange Tales on the street, you will certainly be targeted by their organizations.
It will make it hard for you to traverse the amusement park.
However, if you use my clues to deal with corresponding Strange Tales, you will not be targeted by organizations… You are smart, you should understand the rationale behind this.
This is one of the important rules, consider it as free information.”
To summarise briefly.
If one wants to earn points in the inner layer region, they must purchase Strange Tales clues from the ‘store’.
From this perspective.
It seems that the clues in the hands of Mr. Aha are similar to bounty orders.
As long as they hold a bounty and carry out the task, no one will interfere…When they return with the bounty order and the target’s head, they can exchange it for rewards.
The role of Mr. Aha in the amusement park seems to be that of an [executor].
“Mr. Aha…”
When Han Dong looked at this strange character, who prioritizes profit and did not hesitate to sell out his teammates, his mouth hinted a faint smile.
“Aha…As for the ‘lighthouse’ issue.
This is high-priced information, even many Strange Tales living in the inner layer region don’t know what the lighthouse represents. They only know one thing, they absolutely cannot be caught by the lighthouse.”
“Thank you.”
“There are some folding beds in the storeroom, arrange for yourselves…I’m going to take a nap now.”
Getting some of these free pieces of information is already quite satisfactory for Han Dong, and also, Mr. Aha’s last sentence implies he is willing to shelter Han Dong and his team.
The ‘store’ will become Han Dong’s team’s shelter when they are exploring the deep layer of the amusement park in the future.
