With the fifth Great Sin Jewel in hand, only the two Great Sins, Envy and Gluttony, remain to complete the game.
A day may have passed, but it doesn't necessarily mean you can leave the ghost story world once the day is over. This isn't possible in certain special worlds, though the probability is extremely low and it only happens in S-rank or higher ghost story worlds, so it's generally not considered.
"The dragon vanishes into nothingness?"
The four-character message left behind by the angry protagonist is quite profound, perhaps indirectly revealing the identity of the "Virtual Dragon"!
The dead dragon transformed into a phantom dragon. So, is it the remains of the dragon or the soul of the dragon?
"The snake and the ox did not become ethereal after their deaths, but it's normal for the dragon to be a special case. Since the products of the dragon's death can be considered as liquidators, what kind of existence is the dragon itself?"
Among the twelve zodiac animals, the dragon is the only one whose existence has not yet been confirmed, so in a sense, the dragon is incompatible with the other zodiac animals!
"Hey, are we just going up to find people in order? If that's the case, we'll be running into [Gluttony] next!"
“No, let’s bypass [Gluttony] and go straight to the upper level to find [Envy]!” Jiang Ran looked up at the dimly lit corridor. “Because we’ll clear the game once we get the seven Great Sin Jewels, and before we clear it, we’ll definitely encounter a quest that’s truly related to [Dragons], and this quest is very likely related to [Gluttony]!”
This is why the cows want them to go after gluttony in the end!
"Therefore, we must gather as much information as possible before encountering the [Dragon], and this information can only come from [Jealousy]. No matter how much or how little, it can at least provide us with some help."
"Oh, right, I still need to hide in the special room for a while, I almost forgot."
"Hmph, I was just about to remind you!"
Aransta is still diligently working on the Great Sin, constantly trying to dissuade Sloth. He feels that once this world is completed, he could become a top salesman. It's hard to imagine his current mental state.
"Oh, how pitiful!"
The White Eagle executives shook their heads. Alansta's progress was already far behind Jiang Ran's. Unless Jiang Ran just kicked the bucket, it would be too difficult for him to surpass Jiang Ran's progress.
However, with the double protection of the Mountain God Jade and Gwen, Jiang Ran might get stuck, but dying won't be so easy.
However, Aransta's strategy and operation were flawless from beginning to end. This is because it's not that his own team is not good, but that the opponent is too abnormal!
Almost all of the first batch of ghost storytellers who came in have died. Currently, only the ghost storytellers from the Iron Tower Kingdom and the Northern Alliance are still fighting, but their progress in clearing the dungeons is not fast.
Most of the others who are still alive are just hiding somewhere, waiting to collect their rewards.
Even if they can't leave midway, they can still make some money when others finish the game.
There was food in many rooms, so they wouldn't starve.
Aside from these people, most of them are new ghost story writers. With the foundation laid by their predecessors, they are naturally very experienced, but their progress is naturally not comparable to that of the first batch of ghost story writers to arrive.
"Let's go, Gwen."
Jiang Ran walked up the steps, preparing to find [Jealousy]!
Pushing open the door, a woman with a perfect figure stood with her back to the two of them. Her table was covered with experimental equipment that the two of them couldn't understand, and a bottle of medicine was bubbling away.
"You're here? Please have a seat."
"You seem to have known we were coming."
“Of course, I know everything.” Jealousy turned to the two of them and smiled gently. “Could you wait a little while? I need to finish my experiment.”
"Does it take a long time?"
"You're really blunt, little brother—you'll never find a girlfriend if you keep this up. Don't worry, within ten minutes."
Soon, Jealousy put down the experimental equipment in his hand and walked towards the two of them.
"I am [Jealousy], ah—it seems I don't need to introduce myself, you all already know, right?"
"Judging from your appearance, you're a scientist?"
"No—" Jealousy bent down and moved closer, her face almost touching Jiang Ran's. "I'm a witch, hehe, little brother, you've never had a girlfriend before, aren't you ashamed to be this close? You're really calm, ugh, this is so boring—"
"Alright, no need to say anything, I know what you want."
Jealousy took a few steps back and retrieved a chess piece from behind her.
"This is my sinful heart~"
This was the first time Jiang Ran had encountered a situation where the Heart of the Great Sin was in the hands of the Great Sin himself.
"Sigh, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Now that things have come to this, Jiang Ran doesn't believe he could obtain a Great Sin Heart so easily. Since it's in Jealousy's hands, it must be for some purpose.
“It’s so much easier talking to smart people.” Jealousy withdrew the Heart of Sin from her hand. “Well, as I said before, I’m a witch. It just so happens that I’m missing a few fresh ingredients for my potions. Why don’t you go and find them for me?”
"Fresh medicinal herbs?" A question mark appeared above Jiang Ran's head. What kind of place in this world would have fresh medicinal herbs?
He can't conjure up a few blades of grass out of thin air for you.
"Hehe, don't be so discouraged." Jealousy covered her mouth and chuckled. "The place to get the medicinal herbs is of course not in this building, but somewhere else."
She reached out and drew a circle on the wall, which then formed a dimensional portal!
"It's in the 'Magic Forest' I created. Remember to go and come back quickly, because this door can only last for one day."
"The Magic Forest..."
Is there another dimension connected to this world of strange tales? This is something Jiang Ran has never heard of before. The trip is ostensibly to gather medicinal herbs, but in reality, the dangers involved are unpredictable!
"Not only about the sinful heart, I also want to ask you about the [Dragon]."
"Stop calling me 'you' all the time! Call me 'sister'! Say it once and I'll listen, otherwise I won't talk to you!"
"Sister, can you tell me about the [Dragon] now?"
Wow! You called out so decisively? Aren't you even a little bit shy?
"Okay, my dear sister, stop teasing me."
"Sigh, can't we even tease little brothers these days?" Jealousy licked her fingers. "But let's talk about these things after you come back from the Magic Forest."
"After all, if you don't come back, there's no point in knowing any more information, right? It's better for me to keep you a little mysterious for a while longer, hehe, that'll make me cooler, more like a witch!"
