Overall, the Greed questline is quite simple, certainly much simpler than Pride and Lust.
Jiang Ran has already completed more than half of the strategy for [Great Sin]. Following the order, it seems that the next one they should go find is [Wrath].
"Should we go find [Gluttony] first? Didn't that guy just say that Gluttony knows the most information?"
"But as [Niu] said before, we should go find [Gluttony] last. Anyway, our goal is to collect all the Great Sin Jewels, and we will run into [Gluttony] sooner or later. Let's leave him for last."
"Seriously, is it really necessary for us to investigate the identity of the [Dragon] like this?" Gwen tilted her head, somewhat puzzled. "We'll be done with the game after we collect all seven Great Sin Orbs. At that point, whatever the [Dragon] is won't matter to us."
"Little Gwen, haven't you noticed that the word 'dragon' appears a bit too often in other people's conversations? It's like the rules tell us to avoid the laboratory, but we'll inevitably end up here. Perhaps in the end, we'll inevitably encounter or fight the 'dragon.' That's just how the supernatural world is!"
"That makes sense, but could you please stop calling me 'Little Gwen'?"
"Yes, little Gwen!"
I'll beat you up!
Meanwhile, Aransta is locked in a fierce battle with [Bull] in the game of "Civilization," with neither side able to gain the upper hand, and the battle has dragged on for quite some time!
"I thought this game could be finished quickly. If it dragged on, I might not lose, but I would also get killed by those monstrous things!"
Aransta sighed briefly. The current situation was very unfavorable for him, and perhaps in extraordinary times, he would have no choice but to resort to extraordinary measures.
"I really don't want to waste my abilities on you, sigh."
Aransta stared intently at the bull in front of him with his eyes!
In the previous world, he successfully changed his talent, and now Aransta's talent is naturally no longer the Illusionary Eye.
[SS-Rank Talent: Four Symbols Command]
[Effect: The user can possess four tokens: Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind. Each token can only be used once per world. Water: Instantly check the correctness of a rule; Fire: Destroy a strange creature; Earth: Block one fatal attack and, depending on the situation, become immune to all damage for a short period of time; Wind: Reset the use of another token that has already been used.]
He who grasps the Four Symbols holds the secrets of Heaven!
It is indeed comprehensive, but because the ability is too comprehensive, this talent is not particularly outstanding in any particular aspect. The existence of the "Wind" token has increased the operability of this ability; otherwise, it would probably only be considered an S-level talent.
“【Bull】, I will use the flames to destroy you.”
The bull's body turned to ashes in the flames, but he laughed loudly before he died: "You still couldn't beat me in the game, you loser!"
Alan Stark was speechless. If it were a prolonged battle, he could definitely defeat [Bull] in less than two hours. The problem was that if it really lasted two hours, his body would probably be cold by then.
"You've never beaten me in the game either, so don't be so arrogant!"
Aransta became the second mystery tale master to obtain multiple Sin Jewels. Now that he has conquered the two lower-level Sins, his next target is Sloth.
"Phew, I wonder how many major sins Jiang Ran has conquered by now. Is he at the same pace as me? No, no, no, even if he's a little better than me and has conquered three, I still need to catch up!"
Jiang Ran pushed open the door to [Anger].
A quiet young woman, around 20 years old and wearing glasses, was writing something on the table. She slowly turned her head after hearing the door open.
To avoid triggering anger, simply keep your mindset as peaceful as possible.
"I am [Anger], and what about you?"
"Jiang Ran, she is Gwen."
"Oh—you can leave now. I don't have much to offer you. I still have to work on my novel."
So, she was actually writing a novel while furiously scribbling at the table? That's really unexpected.
"I......"
"Stop. I know what you want. It's nothing more than the Heart of Sin. I can tell you that my Heart of Sin is not in this room, and I will not take you to find it. I have no obligation to do so."
"I will not leave this room until I finish writing my novel."
Jiang Ran walked over to her and found that although she seemed to have been writing all along, she had at least erased 90% of what she had written. The whole paper looked like a densely packed record of deletions and revisions.
"Um, could you leave? Your presence here is really disrupting my concentration."
“It’s obvious you were like this before we got here, isn’t it, Miss Angry?”
"Ugh—this is so uncomfortable..."
Because she is "angry", she will never be truly angry, and she will only feel somewhat disappointed by Jiang Ran's words.
"Perhaps we can talk about things like, what kind of novel would you like to write?"
"That's right, you're human, perhaps you can offer me some advice." Angrily twirled his pen. "I don't want to write those clichéd stories. Since I've decided to start writing, I'm determined to create a masterpiece!"
"I want to write a fantasy novel where the protagonist has mediocre talent, no family background, no extraordinary encounters, no exceptional intelligence, no lover willing to give everything for him, and certainly no powerful master. So now I'm wondering, how can such a protagonist reach the pinnacle of cultivation?"
The question of anger not only struck Jiang Ran, but also left the viewers in the live stream speechless for a long time.
One netizen said: "Perhaps... we could create an era of Dharma decline where everyone's cultivation is gone. That would be a way to let the protagonist reach the pinnacle. Or perhaps we could leave only the protagonist's cultivation, making him the strongest person in the world."
"No, this kind of encounter is probably the protagonist's greatest stroke of luck. He completely dominates the world by luck."
"What if the protagonist is a hardworking genius? Someone who trains for 24 hours a day while others train for four hours a day?"
"Even if you cultivate for 48 hours a day, you still can't compare to someone with a Heavenly Spiritual Root! Besides, who said geniuses don't work hard?"
Netizens offered a variety of opinions, but no one could provide a truly satisfactory answer.
A very real problem is presented: hard work cannot erase the gap in talent, and the only way to catch up is through a stroke of luck, but anger has blocked this seemingly only path.

Based on everyone's comments yesterday, I have a general idea of their attitude towards mini-games. Many people expressed their desire to see them, but it's best not to have too many. I have also reflected on my own approach, and the frequency of mini-games has indeed been a bit too high. Therefore, in the subsequent dungeons, we will insert a maximum of two mini-games in each dungeon, with an interval of no less than ten chapters between them. This will ensure that readers who want to see mini-games can do so while also maintaining a good viewing experience.
