In 1849, the California Gold Rush swept the world. But for Chen Mo, who had already been there for three months, it was not heaven, but hell. Driven away by white miners, he was forced to toil in vain on the barren riverbanks, exchanging his efforts for cold mud and "fools' gold." He faced ostracism from his fellow Chinese, who considered him an outsider because of his short hair and lack of a queue; nobody cared about him. The extortion from Master Chen, with his monthly protection fee of three dollars—more than his rent—suffocated him. Just when he was once again cornered in the river by thugs, his life hanging by a thread, he obtained the [Daily Intelligence System]! [Daily Intelligence: Jack Brown, who is smiling at you, is actually trying to rob and kill you.] [Daily Intelligence: A $250 nugget is buried under an oak tree 300 yards upstream!] [Daily Intelligence: Master Chen's...]

A strange phenomenon occurs, and the entire world undergoes a dramatic change.

The fate of individuals and nations is tied to the strange rules and legends. Once the chosen one fails, it means that countless people in the country they represent will be mysteriously murdered.

The whole world was plunged into unease, panic, and despair.

Until someone who should never have been chosen joined the strange tale of the rules.

Xiao Yi looked at the bizarre world before him, then at the admission ticket in his hand.

"Are junior high school entrance exams this complicated now? Well, this way I can prove my intelligence!"

[Rules of the Strange + No Female Lead + Live Stream] The bizarre has descended, and strange tales abound! Countless nations must send representatives to enter the game of Rules of the Strange to compete for victory. Lin Yuan, an unlucky soul who was chosen to enter the strange tale less than ten minutes after transmigrating, happens to encounter an S-rank strange tale instance! Just when all the people of China were disappointed and ready to wait for death— Inside the strange tale— Lin Yuan looked at the familiar Green Green Grassland, looked at the familiar Sheep Village, looked at the familiar... Lazy Sheep in the mirror?! Isn't this the plot of Happy Sheep and Big Big Wolf?! I'm indeed no good at dealing with the Rules of the Strange, but... playing Lazy Sheep is a piece of cake for me?! [Rule 1: Attend classes on time and study hard] [Rule 2: Absolutely obey all the village chief's demands!] While the chosen ones from other countries trembled with fear in the bizarre sheep village, struggling to survive within its twisted rules—Lin Yuan was lounging on the grass, sunbathing: "Class? No way, I'll just say I have a stomachache." Facing the village chief's impassioned speech, he mumbled, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth: "Absolute obedience? Let me wake up first." Seeing this— Countless chosen ones and spectators were dumbfounded! Wait, what gives him the right?! Why is it that we follow the rules and get killed by the bizarre creatures, while Lin Yuan has become brothers with them, turning this strange tale of rules into a resort?! To this, Lin Yuan sneered— "I, the mighty King of Laziness, what's wrong with being a little lazy? If I weren't lazy, would I still be the King of Laziness?!"

Xu Yuan opened his eyes to find himself in the dazzling lights of Tokyo, Japan, with his own corpse lying not far away. The line between reality and illusion was blurring. Human fantasy was seeping into reality… various anime characters appeared one after another. Gods and demons descended, monsters roamed, government agencies harbored ambitions, and forces large and small were stirring… To this, Xu Yuan, sword in hand, could only say: “Go back to where you came from. And you, the rise of the Great Japanese Empire? You're dreaming.”

It's normal for them to publish a lot of Nature articles to market their movies, right?

In order to earn some initial capital, it's quite normal to persuade the Koreans to continue investing in room-temperature superconductivity, right?

It's perfectly normal for them to mine asteroids so they can get to Mars before Musk, right?

Outsiders: What exactly is normal?

Chen Yuanguang: If you could go to the future, you would also find this to be normal.

But why is this future starting to look so strange?

Cao Mang thought he could finally enjoy life, but he never expected to start with a debt of one billion...

Darkness descends, order collapses, humanity is lost... Wails of death resound, despair and terror descend! Hell is empty, the devils are here. Chen Chong knows that in this broken world, fists are power, and only when fists prevail can reason prevail!

Zhou Cheng travels to a parallel world and unlocks the "Prank Pressure System," where he can earn rewards by putting pressure on others.

At that moment, the live-streamed variety show "A Family in Xia Kingdom" was underway, and their family happened to be selected.

As a result, the entire style of the show changed.

"Mom, don't you ever read more books?"

"Dad, look at other dads driving luxury cars! Are you going through a rebellious phase?"

"You guys are so lazy, I can't even hold my head up in front of my classmates."

"If your parents are unwilling to work hard, you can change them with three sentences. Be sure to share this with your friends!"

"Teachers, you were the worst class of teachers I ever taught!"

"My grades are so bad, don't you guys even think about reflecting on that?"

Young people who had been under enough pressure cheered together after watching the live stream.

"What kind of exciting live stream is this? It's so much fun!"

"I've always been pressured by others, and I've finally found a mouth substitute, sob sob sob."

[Reward successful, stressed parents with top-notch BBQ skills!]

[Successful pressure on top students in the class, rewarded with brilliant thinking!]

[Successful pressure on the rich second generation, reward 100 million!]

The audience witnessed this scene.

"In the past, they were the ones putting pressure on young people, but now it's all reversed, right?"

"This is outrageous! You've put so much pressure on your own father that he's like a grandson?"

Parents across the country were devastated when they saw the video their son shared!

Production team: Who let him participate in the show?!

I'm under so much pressure!

This book is also known as: "If I put pressure on you first, you can't put pressure on me!"
