"You two who came in, I don't have time for you! I have work to do!" The slovenly man's eyes were still glued to the screen. "If you could help me tidy up the room, I would be very grateful. Otherwise, please leave. I don't have anything to offer you!"
Jiang Ran stepped over the pile of trash and came up behind him. The slovenly man still showed no intention of continuing the conversation and just frantically typed on the keyboard.
Jiang Ran discovered that this guy never saved his work. He would delete the code as soon as he finished typing a page and start a new page. In other words, no matter how long he worked here, he was just doing useless work.
"Perhaps we can talk. Do you know any secrets about this high-rise building?"
"Can't you understand what I'm saying?! Can't you understand what I'm saying?!" The slovenly man pounded on the keyboard frantically. "I'm just an ordinary working man! What do I know?! Stop bothering me! I need to work, work, work!"
Jiang Ran slapped him hard across the face.
"You think you're so great? Speak properly!"
The viewers in the live stream were already used to it.
"But speaking of which, isn't this a [serious crime]? Can he really be as easy to talk to as the [Zodiac]?"
"I don't think the Chinese zodiac is easy to talk to either."
The slovenly man stood there stunned for two seconds before finally looking away from the damn screen and staring blankly at Jiang Ran.
Why...why did you hit me?
"Just to wake you up."
"Oh, thank you, but I still have to work..."
"You work your ass off!" Jiang Ran slapped him again with a big slap!
The talent description doesn't seem to mention that this thing can't be stacked, but whatever, I'll just slap it first!
"Oh! My buddy, don't you ever work?!" The slovenly man frantically grabbed at his hair, which hadn't been styled in ages. "Work is my life! It's what gives me my value in this society! You know that! You understand?!"
Jiang Ran shrugged: "Talking to you is my job, so I guess you could say I'm doing my job."
"Is this your job? Oh! Damn it! I'm so sorry, I unintentionally interrupted your work! So what do you want to talk about? Let's finish this quickly, I still have my work to do!"
The slovenly man spoke very quickly, but fortunately Jiang Ran could still barely understand what he was saying.
"Who are you?"
"I am [Sloth]! As you can see, I'm just an ordinary staff member trapped in this small room. My identity is nothing to worry about! Are you done asking questions? Can I start working now?"
Sloth? It's hard to imagine that this workaholic represents the cardinal sin of sloth! But since the sheep is wearing a dog mask, it doesn't seem impossible that the workaholic is sloth.
"It's not over yet," Jiang Ran continued. "If I want to leave here, what do I need from you?"
"You overestimate me, my friend! How could I possibly have anything?" Sloth grew increasingly impatient. "Only work can prove my worth; everything else is meaningless! Look at me, I'm already 18, and I'm still so energetic!"
"Holy crap, this guy's 18?!"
"If you hadn't told me, I would have thought he was almost 60!"
"Awkward, I was just thinking that this old man is actually quite young."
Immediately afterward, Laziness ignored Jiang Ran and sat down to continue typing on the keyboard, refusing to say a word no matter how much Jiang Ran asked.
Gwen leaned closer: "I think your big pussy looks pretty effective, why don't you give him another one and see?"
“Clearly, that computer is more attractive to him.” Jiang Ran pondered for a moment. “Getting information from [Great Sin] is probably not something they can just give us if they want to. Perhaps they themselves don’t even know such a thing exists.”
Sloth showed no signs of lying from beginning to end, though it's possible he was a master of deception.
As for sloth, he had already said everything he could, so naturally he didn't want to say anything else.
"Maybe we should think of a way to get him away from this damn computer."
Ghost tale writers from other countries also received tips from the observer, learning that Sloth was in a room on the second floor.
Of course, some countries did not use the hint opportunity, since there are seven major sins, and it is not worth wasting a precious opportunity just to find the first one.
Adhering to the principle of becoming stronger with each setback, the Black Sheep Kingdom dispatched another warrior—Sheep Egg, a B-level talent!
At this moment, Lamb Egg was standing outside the door of Sloth, hesitating whether or not to go in.
“I am [the dog], sir. The person inside is extremely dangerous. I advise you not to provoke him.”
Another kobold blocked his way.
Sheep Egg was startled by the dog-headed man who suddenly appeared, but then he realized that there were no sheep on this floor, which meant that the person in front of him was indeed a dog who only told the truth?
"Are the people inside... really in danger?"
"Of course, sir, if you want to live, I wouldn't recommend that you provoke him."
To be honest, Yangdan was a little scared.
This time, the Strange Tales World has SSS-level Dragon Kingdom Jiang Ran and SS-level White Eagle Alansta participating. These two are far superior to these newbies in both talent and intelligence. Unless these two kick the bucket, how could they possibly pass the game?
That being said, if both of them kick the bucket, then they're done playing around.
So even though Lamb Egg knew that Sloth was in this room, he didn't dare to go in. Going in wouldn't necessarily yield any important clues, and he might even lose his life inside.
His talent is the B-rank "Two-Day Shield," which can negate one fatal blow for him during the period from the second day onwards in the world.
In other words, he had no means of survival on the first day.
"Mr. Dog! You're man's best friend! Do you know any safe places in this building?"
Sheep Egg could only turn to the kobold beside him for help. After all, this guy couldn't lie, so his words were very valuable!
However, although he can only tell the truth, he can choose not to tell it.
"Brother Dog! Tell me, is there any place where I can safely survive the first day? If there's anything I can do to help, I'll definitely do it!"
"Is that so?" The kobold leaned closer. "I can take you to a completely safe place, but you won't find any clues there. Are you sure you still want to go?"
"Go! Of course I'm going!"
A completely safe place? Wow! Doesn't that mean I can survive for a few days and get the rewards? What's the point of even completing the game?
Led by the kobold, Lamb Egg followed him slowly down the corridor.
