Weird Calendar

Chapter 10 April 5th·Taboos

Duke agreed with Cheng Wan's statement. After thinking for a while, he replied to Qin Ze in the shortest sentence:

"The calendar will bring a lot of benefits and give us different abilities, which are related to career."

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

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

"Maybe it will be a cook, a doctor, an accountant, a housekeeper, a tour guide...even a hairdresser, etc."

"These identities, which are extremely normal in reality, do have corresponding special abilities."

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

Sure enough, Qin Zexin said.

When they encountered Advent, both Cheng Wan and Duke mentioned that it was almost impossible for ordinary people to survive when encountering something like this.

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

Qin Ze also noticed one thing - Duke's context seemed to be uncertain about career.

"Will the calendar determine my career based on some of my characteristics, living habits, and way of doing things? In other words, do we have no choice?"

Duke and Cheng Wan had already boarded the car, and they sighed again that Qin Ze was indeed a born Old Calendarist.

Many things can be understood by oneself without explaining them in detail.

Cheng Wan replied in the group:

"As for the factors that influence careers, we are actually also exploring..."

“There was an example of two people in an organization who behaved the same way, but got different professions.”

"This thing seems to have no definite character. But it's not completely random..."

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

"I'm not a mechanic in real life, but I really like tinkering 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. Over the course of a week, it will observe its various behaviors.

This is interesting because Qin Ze has several real jobs.

The first job is as a secret room designer. Responsible for designing various secret rooms that players find interesting.

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

As for the third job-accompanying. But it is not a companionship for online games, but a companionship for secret rooms, script killing, and board games.

The main purpose is to lead others through the level. Solve their unsolvable dilemmas. It's a bit like a board game mercenary.

The encounter with Qiao Wei was in a large-scale ghost story escape room.

The two admired each other's idea of ​​​​escape, so the flames of love were sparked.

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

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

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

"We won't know for another six days. But it's worth speculating."

"The most subversive thing about the calendar so far is that its taboos can affect reality."

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

"If it is appropriate, I will get gifts from certain actions. If it is taboo, it will put me in danger."

"Cheng Wan mentioned before that by accumulating the number of taboo violations and exploring the realm of the Old Calendar, you will obtain the Golden Calendar manuscript."

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

"It is speculated that the reason is because it induces taboos. He realized this, so he changed the topic."

"But it also shows that although violating taboos will put me in danger in certain behaviors, the growth benefits brought by violating taboos are huge."

"For example, I experienced a 'recruitment' level of taboo, which resulted in me obtaining the quality and golden calendar manuscript."

Qin Ze touched his chin and already had a conclusion in his mind:

"Cheng Wan and Duke, like most Old Calendar people, will not violate taboos because it will put their lives in danger."

“They choose to ‘go for the good and avoid the bad.’ There’s nothing wrong with that.”

"This also shows that even if there is no taboo and just need to ensure one's own survival, the calendar will also bring an improvement in the holder's 'function'."

"But breaking taboos can accelerate this improvement and has many additional benefits."

"But the 'company's' advice is not to violate taboos, because violating taboos is likely to lead to a very unhappy day."

"When all kinds of misfortunes happen one after another, it is possible for people to be defeated."

"It can be boldly assumed here that the black calendar people mentioned by Cheng Wan and Duke are probably people who were defeated by misfortune and were corrupted by the calendar."

"Their calendar will turn black, different from the normal silvery white..."

Although he didn't ask these questions, Qin Ze had already made a rough guess when he first heard about the Black Calendar.

"So, the disadvantages of breaking taboos are that it brings misfortune and may lead to a black person. Also, breaking taboos is very dangerous in itself."

"And the benefit of breaking taboos will greatly increase your growth rate as an old calendar person, and you will gain more qualities to improve yourself."

After inferring this, Qin Ze made a conclusion in his heart.

"Profits and taboos affect all aspects, and may also affect your 'career' six days later."

"The calendar will observe me and maybe give me some function based on my various behaviors and real identity."

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

"The functions I get in the end will be rarer and more powerful."

Breaking the taboo twice, the danger is vivid.

There are too many strange things in that place called the Realm of the Old Calendar.

But Qin Ze believed that escaping was wrong.

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

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

At that time, I'm afraid only those who were strong enough could survive in that twisted place.

This is one of them.

"Secondly, Qiao Wei is also a calendar holder. With Qiao Wei's temperament, she will never choose to 'go for what is appropriate and avoid what is taboo'."

"She is more like the kind of woman who stares at the calendar as soon as midnight arrives, eager for new excitement to arrive..."

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

"I want to catch up with Qiao Wei, or even surpass Qiao Wei. If I want to completely master the calendar, it is impossible to avoid Ji."

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

Qin Ze laughed at himself:

"Objectively speaking, I don't have the possibility of becoming a black person, so committing taboos seems to be a very good way to improve."

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

To put it simply, between the choice of "going for the appropriate and avoiding the taboo" and "meeting the taboo", he chose the latter.

…

…

In the afternoon, Qin Ze and Duke Cheng Wan chatted a lot, catching up on a lot of interesting old-timer common sense.

Of course, some Old Calendar practitioners can figure this out themselves.

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

Other anonymous members occasionally bubbled up, but they all talked about topics that had 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 basically confirmed that all his guesses were correct.

Violating taboos will bring high rewards.

The time soon came to 11:59 pm.

Qin Ze has been waiting for this moment since dinner.

After the strange experience of the past two days, Qin Ze is now bored even playing games.

It seems that happiness can only be obtained when a new day comes and new taboos appear.

The clock struck midnight again.

Just like yesterday, Qin Ze did not look at what he had gained first, but turned the calendar to the latest page.

With the appearance of a word that should not belong to the almanac style, Qin Ze's face, full of expectation, gradually froze.

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

"Don't confess?
