Singing Mouth Wants Monthly Votes!

He took another look at the descriptions for skills and items.

Items came in many categories as well. His cleaver and bandages were both Oddity artifacts, bound items.

Then there were things like the candles and Matches he had obtained from the instance. They were ordinary items, but not Oddity artifacts.

Of course, the most precious and rarest of them all were undoubtedly Rule-based items.

As for skills, they were much like the skills in online games.

They were divided into three main categories.

The first was support-type skills. Healing, perception, and enhancement skills all fell under the support category.

The second was attack-type skills. As the name suggested, these were skills capable of attacking and dealing damage.

The third was Rule Skills. It could be said that any Rule Skill was extremely valuable. Even powerful Oddities could not resist Rule Skills.

Of these three types, Rule Skills were undoubtedly the rarest and most powerful.

And Mu Rufeng had happened to obtain a Random Rule Skill Card and a Rule-based Item Blind Box.

The moment he thought of that, Mu Rufeng had no mind to continue reading the information.

He pushed his empty bowl aside.

With a thought, the Random Rule Skill Card and Rule-based Item Blind Box from his Item Inventory appeared on the table before him.

The Random Rule Skill Card was an exquisite card covered in intricate runes and an inexplicable aura, making it seem exceptionally bizarre.

As for the blind box, it was a fist-sized, perfectly square red box. Each side bore a large black question mark.

Mu Rufeng picked up the card and tore it apart.

The next second, the shredded card blossomed with a flash of white light.

Congratulations, player. You have obtained the Rule Skill: You Die, I Live

You Die, I Live: Rule Skill. After an enemy dies, your attributes double. Note: Can stack up to ten times.

"Huh? You Die, I Live? It only works after the enemy dies?" Mu Rufeng was a little stunned.

Then, once he came to his senses, delight appeared on Mu Rufeng's face.

On the surface, if the enemy was already dead, what use was doubling his attributes?

In the real world, it might not be of much use.

But in an instance world, it would be quite useful.

After all, the ones encountered in Oddity instances were not living people. They ought to count as dead people too.

As long as Mu Rufeng regarded those Oddities as enemies, there was a high chance he could trigger this Rule Skill, You Die, I Live.

Mu Rufeng was not entirely certain either. He would have to wait until his next trip to an instance world to test it out.

In reality, I cowered and groveled; in the instance world, I struck with an iron fist? It did have that flavor.

Mu Rufeng calmed himself down, then turned his gaze toward the Rule-based Item Blind Box.

"I wonder what I'll get?"

Mu Rufeng prayed inwardly that he would draw a powerful Rule-based item.

He immediately reached out and crushed it in one grip.

The blind box shattered easily in Mu Rufeng's hand, and a bizarre musical note emerged from within it.

The note gathered in Mu Rufeng's palm, eventually forming a mouth.

That was right, a mouth.

Mu Rufeng recognized at a glance that it was a woman's mouth.

Its full lips curled upward slightly, coated in lipstick of an unknown shade. Like tempting cherries, they framed a row of neat, pearly-white teeth that made one unable to stop.

"What the hell? A mouth?" Mu Rufeng was utterly dumbfounded.

Singing Mouth: The owner of this mouth was a talented girl who loved to sing. Her singing deeply moved everyone in the entire city. Then one day, the girl vanished. When she appeared again, she was already a corpse. Strangely, her mouth had been cut off.

Effect: Rule-based item. You may designate a target and forcibly make them sing a song out loud.

Note: After designating a target to sing, the user must also sing the same song the target sang within three hours. If the time limit is exceeded, it will be forcibly carried out.

"Uh... this should be all right, I guess?"

There was just one issue: this item actually came with a price, though the price was not that great.

Come to think of it, Rule-based items were actually divided into two types. One required a certain price to be paid after use, while the other had no restrictions at all.

Comparing the two, it was hard to tell which was better. It could only depend on the specific effect.

Mu Rufeng pried the mouth open and took a look.

It had to be said, this Singing Mouth truly felt just like a True Person's mouth—soft and tender, only somewhat icy cold.

A bold thought instantly flashed through Mu Rufeng's mind...

Just kidding. Mu Rufeng was such a proper man...

Then Mu Rufeng stored the mouth in his Item Inventory.

Mu Rufeng browsed the forum for a while longer.

Most of the posts were about information related to instances.

There were also posts filled with idle chatter or people hurling insults at each other.

After scrolling through many posts, Mu Rufeng learned that there were quite a few player organizations in the real world as well.

These player organizations did not belong to the government, but each had some financial power backing it.

Some player organizations maintained close cooperative relationships with the government. Naturally, there were also organizations that hid in the shadows and stirred up trouble.

However, Mu Rufeng did not care much about any of that. After all, he had already joined the government.

"Huh? Why can this Scarlet Preferred APP still be opened?"

After Mu Rufeng exited the Oddity Forum, he suddenly noticed that the Scarlet Preferred APP on his home screen was still lit up.

His phone was running the Ghost System. The APPs downloaded on it should not have been usable in the real world.

Mu Rufeng directly opened the Scarlet Preferred APP.

It was still the same as when he had first opened it in the instance.

A vast array of products filled the various categories.

"Can I place an order?" A sudden idea struck Mu Rufeng, and he immediately entered one of the product listings and clicked to place an order.

He quickly arrived at the payment page.

The next second, a pop-up window appeared.

Dear user, you have not selected a delivery address. Please select the address for your order.

Mu Rufeng immediately tapped it, and the page instantly switched.

Sorry, dear user. There are no addresses available for orders in your world.

To make your shopping more convenient, you may become the group leader for community group buying and designate a location as a pickup point.

"Huh? I can become the group leader for community group buying? I can even establish a pickup point?" Mu Rufeng was shocked.

As a loader who had worked at Scarlet Preferred for two years, Mu Rufeng naturally understood what being a community group-buying leader meant.

Leaving everything else aside, once he established a pickup point, Mu Rufeng would be able to place orders directly. He did not know whether the goods could actually be delivered.

But if the APP said he could establish a pickup point, then it would certainly be able to deliver the goods, though he had no idea what method it would use to bring them over.

If that was possible, could he become a middleman?

Things from the Oddity World should sell very well in the real world—right?
