A New Item and a Surge in Fans!

The bullet comments were stunned by the sudden reversal.

"Holy shit, what's going on?"

"So this was the truth?"

"Yeah, seriously, I never saw that coming."

"Kid Bro was no saint, but the kid in red and his gang were the truly rotten ones!"

"Agreed!"

"But I really feel bad for the class monitor. He was betrayed by someone he trusted."

"This instance is so interesting. Twist after twist after twist."

"The kid in red's dialogue back at the pool had already more or less outlined the truth."

"Chen Han is freaking amazing. Feels like he unlocked another hidden ending."

"Drop the 'feels like,' buddy. This is a hidden ending. He's seriously skilled!"

Chen Han was also stunned by the scene before him.

Like the viewers in his livestream, he had seen the truth.

He had never expected this additional layer to the story.

It truly sent a chill down his spine.

The person who seemed the weakest had ended up getting the class monitor killed.

Behind Chen Han, Fang Lei was also stunned.

But his main reason for being stunned was that Chen Han had been the one to bring those two together, hadn't he?

So Chen Han had already guessed this hidden storyline?

In an instant, Fang Lei was once again filled with utter admiration for Chen Han.

Actually, guessing this hidden storyline wasn't difficult.

The difficult part was not being distracted by the eerie atmosphere.

Under the pressure of death, how many people could still think rationally?

That was why Chen Han was so incredible!

"Congratulations to player Chen Han on perfectly clearing the multiplayer instance 'Happy Kids Swimming Pool.'"

"Successfully triggered the hidden ending 'Ingratitude.'"

An icy, mechanical electronic voice rang out.

Fang Lei was stunned once again.

This was also the first time he had heard that an instance could actually be cleared perfectly!

And a hidden ending had been triggered, too!

It was simply unbelievable.

He looked at Chen Han excitedly.

"Boss, don't forget me! I've taken all your teachings to heart!"

It was exactly 6:00 in the morning.

Leave the pool before morning.

Success!

Everything looked fresh and new.

Only Xiaobai was nowhere to be found.

He had most likely gone to claim the lives of the kid in red and his gang.

Chen Han nodded.

The livestream chat erupted.

"Chen Han is so damn cool."

"Holy shit, this is his second perfect clear, right?"

"It's more than that. He perfectly cleared two instances within twenty-four hours."

"Boohoo, I want Chen Han to protect me, too!"

"Hahahaha, Fang Lei's expression is literally me!"

In a corner no one had noticed.

The ticket seller quietly watched everything.

Then lowered their head.

Seemingly deep in thought.

Another burst of intense white light flashed.

Chen Han returned to System Space.

He had perfectly cleared his second instance, too!

That had surprised him.

He had originally thought his first perfect clear had been entirely down to luck.

But he had actually perfectly cleared the second instance as well. Could he really be skilled?

For the first time ever, Chen Han began questioning his own abilities.

But he soon stopped thinking about it.

Rather than questioning whether he had this so-called "skill," why not enjoy the happiness his current achievement brought him?

The corners of Chen Han's lips lifted slightly.

Being able to perfectly clear an instance really was something to be happy about!

The moment he entered System Space, all the fatigue in Chen Han's body vanished.

He hadn't slept all night.

Yet he wasn't sleepy at all. Instead, he was full of energy and vitality.

His system panel had also been updated.

[Player: Chen Han]

[Current clears: 2]

[Current fan count: 19,358]

[Current item count: 2]

[Current skill count: 0]

[...]

This time, Chen Han's fan count was approaching twenty thousand.

Previously, he hadn't even had ten thousand fans.

After just last night's livestream, he had gained over ten thousand more.

For a newcomer to Rules Horror Story livestreaming.

This rate was already insane!

At the same time, Chen Han keenly noticed that the number of items he owned had changed from one to two.

That meant he had obtained another new item!

This time, Chen Han guessed that the item he had obtained would definitely be related to swimming!

As for what exactly the item did.

He had no idea.

As long as it wasn't an item related to physical stamina.

After all, the effect of the Cat Paw Badge he had obtained last time was, "After use, you will no longer need to eat within Rules Horror Stories, and your energy will increase by 20%."

He didn't want the effects of the two items to overlap.

Unexpectedly, the item he obtained this time was an eyeball!

[Kid Bro's Eyeball (Item)]

[Item level: 1]

[Usage limit: 1 use]

[Effect: After use, allows you to circle an incorrect rule once.]

The eyeball still looked very fresh.

There was even blood beside it that had yet to clot.

It slowly trickled down the eyeball.

Chen Han took one look, then quickly put it into his pocket.

What the hell was this?!

It wasn't even as good as the Cat Paw Badge from last time.

This eyeball really sent a chill down his spine.

Any normal person would get a fright upon seeing it.

Still, the eyeball's effect was quite good. It could circle an incorrect rule once.

If a player failed to identify an incorrect rule and followed it anyway-

That could truly be fatal.

They wouldn't even know how they had died.

The eyeball was a little disgusting, but it was still very useful.

Since it could only be used once, it was quite precious.

So Chen Han planned to use it when he got stuck.

Another electronic screen popped up from his watch.

"Congratulations to player Chen Han on a perfect clear."

"Reward obtained: Host's strength increased by 30%."

At that very moment, Chen Han felt strength fill his entire body.

When he clenched his fists, a surge of power coursed through him.

This strength even gave Chen Han an idea.

In the next Rules Horror Story.

If another player provoked him, then with a punch like this...

He was confident he could knock the player unconscious!

Provided the other player didn't also have corresponding items or system rewards.

But at that thought, Chen Han gave an awkward smile.

For him, it would probably remain just a thought. Chen Han wasn't a violent person.

He hadn't been one before he died, either.

It was difficult for people to change themselves in a short time, wasn't it?

One could even say he advocated peace.

But in the world of Rules Horror Stories...

Nothing was certain anymore.

There really was nothing to do in System Space.

The only thing Chen Han could do was lie there and space out.

As he spaced out, he kept recalling bits and pieces of his former life in the real world.

Things he had once considered utterly trivial played over and over in his mind.

Amid the deathly silence, they grated like grains of sand.

He had no idea how much time passed.

Perhaps a few minutes, perhaps a few hours.

Then Chen Han tapped his watch.

"Player has received twenty-four hours of rest. Would you like to skip it?"

There were two options below:

"Yes" or "No."

Chen Han tapped "Yes."

This time, Chen Han was once again transported back to the entrance where he had last left Happy Kids Swimming Pool.

Just then, his watch sounded.

It was the icy, mechanical electronic voice.

"The Rules Horror Story Map will navigate for you!"

A new instance began!
