Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead

Here is the text with the dialogues properly formatted and the hyphens removed:

The live stream viewers watched as Bai Lian’s conversation with the bespectacled girl, Lin Shuqing, grew more and more lively.

Everyone was envious, their teeth nearly cracking from jealousy.

It wasn’t just the viewers who were jealous—other players working in the same office were too.

“Why can this guy do it? Just because he’s good-looking?”

“Maybe I should go over and start a conversation too?”

“Why can he do it, but I can’t?”

At the workstation next to Bai Lian’s, a young man sat, enviously watching his conversation with Lin Shuqing.

“Damn it, we’re all players here. Why is he sitting there flirting with girls?”

There are people who are overly confident.

And their mental abilities aren’t always up to par.

Sun Chen was exactly that kind of person.

He was a player who had managed to clear twenty dungeons in this strange world.

He was smart, but not too smart.

He had survived this long only because of his determination.

A little intelligence and a lot of determination—that’s what had helped him survive numerous dungeons.

But now, his mental abilities were starting to fail him.

Seeing Bai Lian flirting with the girl, Sun Chen also wanted to give it a try.

And right next to him sat another pretty girl.

Looking at her, Sun Chen grinned widely and, approaching her, said:

“Hey, cutie!”

The girl heard his voice and turned to him with an emotionless expression, asking:

“Do you need something?”

Her tone was cold, clearly indicating she didn’t want to talk to Sun Chen.

But Sun Chen didn’t seem to notice. Seeing that the girl had responded, he became even more persistent:

“Hi, my name’s Sun Chen. I’m new here, just started at the company. Can I get your name?”

“Sorry, I don’t really feel like talking to you.” The girl glanced at him with slight disdain and, without hesitation, turned her head away, ignoring Sun Chen. R̃Áɴő𝐁ËS̩

However, that didn’t seem to be enough for her. She raised the partition between them.

Now, Sun Chen couldn’t see her.

The smile on Sun Chen’s face froze.

Did she seriously just raise that partition?

Such a small gesture, yet such a powerful blow!

【Host, are you a clown?】

【Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Is this guy trying to imitate Bai Lian?】

【Host, you’re like Batman from Gotham, except your enemy is life itself.】

【I’m already cracking up. The girl said the frog should be ready for its fate.】

【Host: Stop, don’t say it, I can’t take it anymore!】

【But Bai Lian—now he’s a real charmer. He doesn’t even need to start the conversation himself; the girls come to him.】

Sun Chen’s chat had a few hundred viewers.

Some of them had come here after switching from Bai Lian’s stream.

After all, they also wanted to see this scenario from another perspective.

However, they hadn’t expected Sun Chen to try imitating Bai Lian by striking up a conversation with a girl.

And the most important thing—he didn’t succeed!

The girl simply ignored him...

Meanwhile, Bai Lian and Lin Shuqing didn’t talk for long.

The workday continued, and they had their own tasks to attend to.

Bai Lian turned on his computer.

After logging in with his badge, he accessed the work interface.

The interface was very simple.

On the left was the corporate group chat, where company employees could exchange messages.

On the right was the task screen.

In the employee group chat, new messages occasionally appeared.

Of course, everyone in this chat was a player.

“Is there anyone who knows anything about this dungeon? We’re all in the same dungeon. If anyone has any news, could you share it?”

“Are you daydreaming? Or is your head not in the right place? Yes, we’re all in the same dungeon, but this is a class change dungeon, and everyone here is a competitor!”

“Right, are you hoping competitors will give you tips? Instead of dreaming, you should observe more.”

“By the way, how did that player just manage to talk to other employees?”

“I tried, and they didn’t even notice me.”

“Big boss, please DM me, tell me at least a couple of rules. I can even warm your bed!”

“Two-meter tank, don’t embarrass yourself! When I see your avatar, even if someone wants to share, the desire disappears immediately.”

While everyone was actively discussing, someone suddenly wrote a message.

“The task interface has been updated. Everyone, go check it out!”

Bai Lian had already been looking at it for a while.

Because he was the one who had sent that message.

In addition to reminding others to check the task, he also shared the rules he had learned from Lin Shuqing.

“Guys, I just discovered a few rules that might help you. I’m writing them all down now and sending them to the chat.”

It didn’t take long before Bai Lian posted all the rules he had learned from Lin Shuqing in the chat.

When the players saw these rules, they were stunned!

“Holy crap, where did this boss get so many rules?”

“You’re a real hero, boss. I’ll give you a good person card. This is the first time I’ve met a living Buddha in a dungeon!”

“Boss, is that all? Is there anything else?”

“Wow, the restrooms aren’t labeled. If you accidentally go into the wrong one, will you disappear?”

“Client requests can’t be rejected more than three times? That’s super important information!”

“Who is this boss? He just got here and already managed to gather so many rules?!”

The information Bai Lian shared left the other players in awe.

Some were grateful, others were excited, and some simply looked at Bai Lian in surprise.

This guy just casually shared such valuable resources.

Among players, it’s a competition!

If it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn’t share their secrets with anyone.

So Bai Lian’s actions seemed truly foolish to the others.

In the live stream, Bai Lian, watching his audience, noticed that tens of thousands of viewers didn’t understand what he was doing.

【Guys, can anyone explain why the streamer is sharing the information he knows with others?】

【I don’t get it either. Is there some meaning behind this?】

【In a class change dungeon, every player is a competitor. No one would easily share information, but what the streamer is doing this time... I really don’t understand the point.】

【Here we go again. I already said this streamer is an idiot. He’s even capable of helping his opponents.】

【Hehe, you probably don’t understand what Bai Shen is doing because your brains aren’t fully developed yet?】

【Yeah, Bai Shen must have his own thoughts on this. If nothing happens, sharing information is part of his plan!】

...

“Don’t let me down, guys!”

Looking at the chat, he saw many positive messages.

Bai Lian couldn’t help but smile.

After all, he’s just a player.

What ill intentions could he possibly have?

He just wanted his “subordinates” to live a little longer and complete a couple more tasks.

That’s perfectly reasonable, right?
