Only four people remain in the world of ghost stories: Jiang Ranyu from the Dragon Kingdom, Han Xiaodong from the Sun Never Sets, and Alansta from the White Eagle.
It's worth mentioning that Aransta didn't use his abilities at all on the first day, so he had a chance to change his talent on the second day, and he replaced his talent with another SS-level talent.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ran can't do that. Since "Give Me Fate+" activates at the start of each world, the only time to change the talent is when you clear the game. However, Jiang Ran hasn't encountered a talent that can completely overwhelm "Give Me Fate+" yet, so he simply keeps it.
However, this also allows Jiang Ran to view a large number of SSS-level talent effects in each world, which greatly expands the intelligence database of the Dragon Kingdom, which is weak in the intelligence of each country. This may play a crucial role in high-level games in the future.
This small change made Han Xiaodong a little uncomfortable. His talent ability required him to know the name of the talent of the person being replaced. Among the four people, Yu Cheng and Alansta's talent names were unknown. Jiang Ran also had many life-saving items, which made it difficult for him to operate.
"It doesn't matter. Talent is just icing on the cake; brains are the most useful thing."
Han Xiaodong comforted himself in this way, but it was indeed the truth. Talent guarantees the lower limit, while the pinnacle of a ghost storyteller is always his reasoning and planning ability.
The villagers quickly discovered Ren Tianze's body, and the major factions in the mansion soon devoted themselves to power, with no one caring about the ghost marriage anymore; it meant nothing to the others.
With Ren Tianze gone, no one will take Ren Xiaodie seriously anymore, especially since she is already dead. For them, her greatest advantage is probably that she has no chance to fight for power.
They simply handed Ren Xiaodie's coffin to Master Zha Pian, telling him to handle it as he saw fit, to do whatever he wanted, or just bury it anywhere if necessary.
Others were not nearly as enthusiastic about the Ascension Sect as Ren Tianze. Master Zha Pian's status had plummeted, but it didn't matter to him now.
"Can you pinpoint the exact location of that kid?"
Master Zha Pian sat down next to Han Xiaodong and spoke in a dangerous tone.
"Of course, I will take you to them, but don't forget our cooperation." Han Xiaodong turned around and smiled slightly. "I will help you complete your plan, and you will help me kill Jiang Ran."
"Hahaha! This is just a piece of cake for me."
The two exchanged a laugh, their seemingly friendly facade masking their ulterior motives. Han Xiaodong's goal was not merely to kill Jiang Ran, but also to find a way to pass the level. Master Zha Pian, of course, was also ready to break the cooperation agreement at any time, as he too had his own agenda.
Aransta was sandwiched between the two men, but he was no ordinary passerby, and Han Xiaodong certainly wouldn't ignore him.
"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
"I hope so."
The observer from the "Never-Setting Sun" informed Han Xiaodong of Jiang Ran's location. Han Xiaodong then relayed the information to Master Zha Pian. With no other extra personnel, the three of them set off for the back mountain.
"Aren't you afraid that Jiang Ran has also moved his location and we'll end up with nothing?"
"He won't change positions, just watch, because there's no need."
On the other side, Lin Changqing used the prompt opportunity again to inform Jiang Ran of the news, and also mentioned Alansta's talent change. However, Jiang Ran had no intention of leaving.
"If we keep going, we'll just never get through. We have hints, and so do they. It's just a game of hide-and-seek with our cards on the table. I have enough cards to play, so let's start the battle."
Jiang Ran handed the two life-saving treasures to Gwen and Yu Cheng respectively. The former was naturally the wind talisman, and the latter was a life-saving scroll that appeared later in Pandora's update.
Although Aransta has changed his talent, there is no guarantee that his new talent will have the ability to kill strange creatures, so Jiang Ran still needs to protect Gwen.
After resting for a while, Yu Cheng's physical strength has recovered a lot, and now he can stand up and run a few steps.
The surface world is now on the second day, and the underworld is correspondingly in the dead of night.
In the silent darkness, a string of bells broke the tranquility.
Gwen looked toward the sound and instantly felt a chill run down her spine. Rows of pure white paper figures were carrying a mahogany coffin and slowly moving toward them. The closer they got, the colder the air around Gwen felt!
"Jiang Ran, I have to tell you something. Master Zha Pian's magical abilities are definitely not weak. Even if I were to fight him one-on-one, I might not be able to win!"
Gwen swallowed hard and told Jiang Ran the truth.
"This is normal, there's no need to panic."
Jiang Ran gently patted Gwen's head and answered softly.
As the big boss of an S-class ghost story world, such as Golden Ghost, Void Dragon, or Planck, which one of them doesn't have stronger strength than most of the strange individuals? Either you have to find the key item to break the deadlock, or you die in the plot. Otherwise, if you want to go head-to-head with them, it's just a dead end!
However, Master Zha Pian initially gave people the impression of being a charlatan who swindled money. Gwen subconsciously felt that he might not be that powerful, but this was just a misunderstanding, and a misunderstanding that absolutely could not exist!
"Brother Jiang Ran, logically speaking, we should first gain that old man's trust and then obtain some key items to defeat him. If we just go head-to-head... do we really have a chance of winning?"
Although Yu Cheng wanted to believe Jiang Ran, she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. She had never tried such a method of passing the level before; in fact, it was simply unbelievable!
"If Master Zha Pian is truly a key figure in the plot, then even with our innate abilities, we can't kill him, so how can we possibly clear the game?"
This is what Yu Cheng is most worried about. They might be able to defeat Master Zha Pian, but killing him is simply impossible!
"Everyone thinks this method is absurd, and the comments section is probably full of insults right now. But there's only one reason why others failed: they weren't strong enough."
Jiang Ran looked ahead, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through the darkness.
"The truth remains the same: the hand I have determines how I should play it. Blind confidence is unwise, but when you should be confident, don't always be timid and hesitant!"
