Strange Rules: It doesn't matter, the system will take care of it.

Chapter 36 You have your clever plans, I have my countermeasures

"Is this a magic show?"

"You know what, it's actually pretty scary."

At first, the newbies thought the curly-haired woman was a magician hired by the park. After all, it's called a horror park, so it's normal to have some scary shows.

But soon, thud! thud!

As the second and third victims jumped into the river, all the tourists realized something was wrong.

But by then, it was too late.

From the moment they entered the amusement park, one of their feet had already stepped into hell.

You can only leave after completing five tasks.

"Damn it, it can even bite through nylon rope. The things in this river are far more ferocious than piranhas," Captain Wu cursed as he asked, "Haman, what are your thoughts?"

The pastor, chin in hand, asked, "Is it possible to use strength and speed to scoop one up instantly and throw it ashore before it can react?"

"Isn't the risk too great?"

"Let's take a gamble."

Captain Wu then asked, "Chengcheng, what about you?"

Meng Chengcheng tossed her ponytail and smiled confidently: "It's too easy. I already know the answer. Look carefully, everyone. The rules only say that we can catch fish, but they don't specify whether they live or die."

Captain Wu didn't understand: "What's the difference between dead and alive?"

Meng Chengcheng explained, "Of course there's a difference. Will you kill the fish by using a fishing net? Of course not. So this is implying that we should use other methods to catch fish. After all, the rules only allow us to get fishing nets, but they don't stipulate that we must use fishing nets to catch fish."

Captain Wu's face lit up with joy: "Hey! You mean...?"

Meng Chengcheng said, "As long as we don't use fishing nets to catch fish, we naturally won't damage the fishing nets."

Chen Feng nodded thoughtfully.

Makes sense.

She truly deserves to be called a genius girl who became a medium at the age of twenty.

He does possess some intelligence.

Just as Chen Feng was lost in thought, Captain Wu suddenly looked at him and asked, "Xiao Hu, what's your opinion?"

The other teammates were all stunned. In the past, the captain would never ask Liu Xiaohu for his opinion.

Today is truly an extraordinary day.

Chen Feng wanted to say something, but then he thought that if he performed too well, it might arouse suspicion from others. So he imitated Liu Xiaohu's tone and said with a simple smile, "Me? I think what Chengcheng said is already perfect. There is no room for addition."

Damn it, he opens his mouth with that sycophantic tone again.

As expected, all that seemingly logical analysis was just a way to show off in front of the goddess.

Captain Wu wanted to slap himself. He must have lost his mind to ask this love-struck person.

Lin He, standing beside him, chuckled to himself.

"What a disgrace! I'd better do my best and let Chengcheng see the difference between us."

Thinking of this, Lin He made hand seals and chanted "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!" He drew the money sword woven from copper coins and red thread from his back and tossed it into the air: "Go!"

With the infusion of magic, the coin sword stopped in mid-air, its tip pointing downwards. It glanced at the goldfish at the bottom of the river, and with a whoosh, emitted a golden sword light that shot into the water.

Soon after, a goldfish floated to the surface, its white belly turned up.

Seeing this miracle, many tourists gathered around, seeing Lin He as their lifeline:

"Master Taoist, help me!"

"Please take me out of here! I'll give you any amount of money!"

When Lin He was surrounded and unable to escape.

Captain Wu suddenly lifted his shirt and pulled out a pistol engraved with a cross from his waist.

Traditional exorcists rely on crosses and holy water for close-range exorcisms, which is both dangerous and outdated.

The new exorcists keep up with the times and add firearms to the traditional foundation, thus creating the exorcism weapon "Holy Judgment". It was modified by the PEACD Equipment Department, with a magazine capacity of 15 rounds. All the bullets are enchanted with holy water and are specially designed to attack demons.

A gunshot rang out.

Captain Wu, quick-witted and agile, scooped up the dead fish and exchanged it for a game coin from the fishmonger.

Two people had already completed the task, and Meng Chengcheng and the priest, who were left behind, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

But Captain Wu didn't forget his team members. Although the rules said that one person could only catch one fish, there was no rule against helping others, so he threw the divine judgment over there.

"Thanks!"

"Damn it, we're all on the same side, no need to thank me!"

Although Chengcheng and the priest had also received firearms training, their marksmanship was naturally much worse than that of professional exorcists. The fish was already difficult to hit underwater due to the resistance, and with the added factors of darkness and light refraction, hitting it became even more difficult.

Fortunately, Meng Chengcheng was alright; after using three bullets, she was finally defeated.

The priest, however, displayed remarkable marksmanship, firing six shots in a row before finally obtaining the game currency.

Enchanted bullets are expensive to make, and Captain Wu usually only carries ten at most on missions. This mission was more important, so he only brought a hundred. Now, a tenth of them are ruined. He was so heartbroken he wanted to jump into the river: "Damn it, are you an idiot?!"

Chen Feng looked at Captain Wu, who was cursing loudly, and thought to himself: Captain Wu is really a dog. He can turn on you in an instant. He was one of us just now, and now he's cursing your mother.

The pastor said with a forced smile, "I haven't been having a very good day."

With that, he handed the pistol to Chen Feng: "Little Tiger, it's your turn."

what?

Is it my turn?

Chen Feng was instantly dumbfounded.

As a game streamer, he has played a lot of shooting games, but he has never touched a real gun.

Liu Xiaohu, as a trainee agent, may have received firearms training, but Chen Feng only inherited the memories, not the skills. If even trained agents can't hit the target, wouldn't those who haven't been trained be even worse?

"We have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it."

In order not to give himself away, Chen Feng could only try to pull the trigger, just like in the game movie.

But the pistol didn't respond at all.

Just as Chen Feng was wondering if the gun was broken, Captain Wu yelled, "Damn it, why aren't you taking the safety off? What are you doing?"

"oh oh."

"Load! Load it!"

"How do I load it?"

"Damn it, did you learn all that firearms knowledge and then just throw it away?"

Seeing that Captain Wu's expression was getting increasingly grim, Chen Feng quickly returned the pistol: "Never mind, I don't need it."

Captain Wu was taken aback, thinking the other party was just being stubborn.

He cursed as much as he wanted, but he didn't want his teammate to die there, so he changed his tune and said, "Xiao Hu, I might have been a bit too harsh. Don't feel pressured, take it slow."

This captain is a responsible and good person.

Chen Feng quickly explained, "Captain, don't misunderstand, I've thought of other ways to catch fish."

Just then, Lin He, who had just shaken off the tourists, walked over. Seeing Chen Feng's clumsy attempt to handle the gun, he chuckled and said, "Other ways? You don't mean you're thinking of going into the river to catch fish, do you?"

Going into the river to catch fish is suicide.

Chen Feng looked at the river. If he weren't afraid of being exposed, he would have summoned the water ghosts and could have as many fish as he wanted.

But now, we have no choice but to outsmart them.

It's really good that Meng Chengcheng was able to realize that you don't need to use a fishing net to catch fish.

But not enough.

The survivor who escaped to the base and got the souvenir was just an ordinary person. He certainly didn't have a gun or a money sword. So how did he break the deadlock against such a ferocious goldfish?

Chen Feng has two guesses.

First, just as water ghosts are afraid of fire, the other party found the goldfish's weakness.

Second, there are more efficient and safer fishing tools available here.

Chen Feng had no clue how to find weaknesses, but he did have some ideas for more efficient fishing tools.

The rules only mention two things: fishing nets and fish tanks.

Many people have a fixed mindset, believing that only fishing nets can catch fish.

But think about it the other way around: if a glass fish tank can be used to hold fish, it must be sturdy enough that the fish won't break it.

With that thought in mind, Chen Feng picked up a fish tank and walked to the riverbank.

The other four immediately understood what Chen Feng was going to do.

Captain Wu slapped his forehead: "Damn it, how could I not have thought of that?"

Meng Chengcheng was also startled: "Is this still the Xiaohu I know?"

Only Lin He looked off, thinking to himself, "It's alright, it's alright! This river is a meter deep, the fish all sink to the bottom. I want to see how he can catch fish from the bottom with just a small glass tank."

Just then, Chen Feng made a decision that no one expected.

He put his arm into the river.
