spooky calendar

Chapter 10: The fifth day of April
Duke agreed with Cheng Wan's statement, and after a little thought, he replied to Qin Ze with the shortest sentence:

"Calendars will do a lot of good, empowering us with different abilities that are related to careers."

"In the next seven days, you'd better not make any taboos, and don't put yourself in danger."

"Hold the calendar and successfully survive for seven days. The calendar will display your occupation and give you corresponding functions."

"Maybe a cook, a doctor, an accountant, a housekeeper, a tour guide...even a barber, etc."

"These incomparably normal identities in reality do have corresponding special abilities."

"For example, I can move the position of some objects out of thin air. Of course, as I continue to improve my function, the ability brought by the porter will continue to increase."

Sure enough, Qin Zexin said.

When I encountered an apocalypse, both Cheng Wan and Duke mentioned that it is almost impossible for ordinary people to survive this kind of thing.

But these two dared to come to the rescue, which showed that they had already taken themselves out of the category of "ordinary people".

Qin Ze also noticed one thing - in the context of Duke, it seems that the occupation is uncertain.

"Will the calendar determine my career based on some of my characteristics, living habits, and ways of doing things? That is, we have no right to choose?"

Duke and Cheng Wan had already boarded the car, and the two lamented again that Qin Ze was indeed a born old calendarer.

Many things don't need to be elaborated, you can realize it by yourself.

Cheng Wan replied in the group:
"About the factors that affect careers, we are actually exploring..."

"Two people who have had the same behavior in the organization once, but get examples from different occupations."

"This thing doesn't seem to be qualitative. But it's not completely random..."

"For example, if you are a doctor in reality, then the possibility of being rated as a doctor in the old career... will be higher than other professions."

"I'm not a mechanic in reality, but I really like to tinker with some mecha figures..."

"Of course, this is not absolute. It just increases the probability."

Qin Ze probably understood.

This old almanac is indeed a bit evil, in a week, it will observe its various behaviors.

This is very interesting, because Qin Ze has several real jobs.

The first job, the secret room designer.Responsible for designing various secret rooms that make players feel interesting.

The second job is to kill the creator of the script.This is one of Qin Ze's main sources of income.

As for the third job - play with.But it's not the companionship of online games, but the companionship of secret rooms, script killing, and board games.

The main purpose is to lead others to pass the customs.Solve the dilemmas they can't solve.It's a bit like a board game mercenary.

The encounter with Qiao Wei was in a large-scale escape room of strange stories.

The two admired each other's idea of ​​escape, so the flame of love was wiped out.

Qin Ze's work is not in the traditional sense.

This also made him a little curious about what kind of occupation the calendar would give on the seventh day.

As he continued to learn about the calendar, Qin Ze also realized one thing—he needed to make a choice.

"It's six days before we know. But let's speculate."

"By far, the most subversive aspect of the calendar is that its taboos can affect reality."

"The greatest value and function of the almanac is to tell people what to do and what not to do."

"Appropriateness allows me to be rewarded for certain actions. Taboo puts me in danger."

"Cheng Wan mentioned before that if you accumulate the number of taboo violations and explore in the Old Calendar, you will get the Golden Calendar manuscript."

"But when he said this, he immediately changed the subject."

"It is speculated that the reason is that there is a taboo to induce violations. He realized this, so he changed the topic."

"But it also shows that although breaking the taboo will put me in danger in some behaviors, the growth benefits brought by breaking the taboo are great."

"For example, I experienced the taboo of the 'recruitment' level, which led to me obtaining quality and the manuscript of the Golden Calendar."

Qin Ze rubbed his chin, and already had a conclusion in his heart:
"Cheng Wan and Duke, like the vast majority of Old Calendarers, will not break taboos, because it will bring life-threatening."

"They chose to 'do what's right and avoid what's wrong'. There's nothing wrong with that."

"This also shows that even if you don't break the taboo, you only need to ensure your own survival, and the calendar will also bring 'function' improvements to the holder."

"But breaking the taboo can speed up this improvement, and there are many additional benefits."

"However, the proposition of the 'company' is not to break the taboo. Because breaking the taboo is likely to lead to a very bad day."

"When all kinds of misfortunes follow one after another, people are likely to be crushed."

"Here we can boldly assume that the black calendar person mentioned by Cheng Wan and Duke is likely to be a person corrupted by the calendar after being defeated by misfortune."

"Their calendars will turn black instead of the normal silvery white..."

Although he didn't ask these questions, when Qin Ze first heard about the black calendar, he had already guessed the general idea.

"Therefore, the disadvantages of violating the taboo-it brings misfortune, and may degenerate into a black calendar. And, taboo itself is very dangerous."

"And the benefits of violating the taboo will greatly increase your growth rate as an old calendar person, and you will get more qualities to improve yourself."

After inferring to this point, Qin Ze had a conclusion in his heart.

"Advisable and taboo affect all aspects, and it is likely to affect the 'occupation' six days later."

"The calendar will observe me, and may give me certain functions based on my various behaviors and real identity."

"If I survive the 'taboo' again and again during this process, maybe this will improve the calendar's evaluation of me."

"In the end, the functions I get will be rarer and more powerful."

Two taboo violations, the danger is vivid.

There are too many weirdnesses in the place called the Realm of the Old Calendar.

But Qin Ze thinks that escaping is wrong.

He always felt that the appearance of this weird calendar itself meant that perhaps the two worlds were not far away.

Perhaps one day, human beings will be unable to avoid the realm of the old calendar.

At that time, I am afraid that only those who are strong enough can survive in that place full of distortions.

This is one of them.

"Secondly, Qiao Wei is also the holder of the calendar. With Qiao Wei's temperament, she will never obediently choose to 'seek what is right and avoid taboo'."

"She's more like the kind of woman who stares at the calendar as soon as twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, longing for new stimuli..."

Thinking of Qiao Wei, the corners of Qin Ze's mouth curled up.

"I want to catch up with Qiao Wei, even surpass Qiao Wei. If I want to fully grasp the calendar, it is impossible to avoid taboos."

"I have nothing to lose. My parents have passed away long ago, and I have very little social interaction. Even Qiao Wei has left me temporarily."

Qin Ze laughed at himself:
"In terms of objective conditions, I don't have the possibility of blackening, so violating the taboo seems to be a very good way to improve."

All the above speculations are actually Qin Ze making a decision to set a tone for his future behavior style.

To put it simply, he chose the latter in the choice between "advancing the appropriate and avoiding the taboo" and "facing the taboo".

……

……

In the afternoon, Qin Ze and Duke Chengwan chatted a lot, and they made up a lot of interesting common sense of old calendarers.

Of course, this is something that some old calendar practitioners can figure out by themselves.

When it came to company-level information, Cheng Wan and Duke didn't mention much about Qin Ze, a "temporary worker".

Other anonymous members, occasionally bubbling, but they are all talking about topics that have nothing to do with the calendar.

According to Cheng Wan, they will provide corresponding help to Qin Ze at the right time.

During the chat, Qin Ze was basically sure that all his guesses were correct.

Breaking the taboo will bring high returns.

The time soon came to 59:[-] in the evening.

Ever since dinner, Qin Ze has been waiting for this moment.

With the weird experience of the previous two days, Qin Ze is now even boring to play games.

It seems that only when a new day comes and new taboos appear, can one be happy.

The clock struck midnight again.

Just like yesterday, Qin Ze didn't look at what he got first, but flipped through the calendar to the latest page.

With the appearance of a word that should not belong to the style of Huangli, Qin Ze gradually froze with an expression of expectation on his face.

"The fifth day of April, Dingsi month and Xinsi day. It is suitable for burial, seeking children, and adopting children."

"Don't confess?
