"What's wrong?"
Yu Cheng was a little confused. Opportunities to change talents are already few and far between, and it is even more difficult to encounter a good talent. Since he has such a versatile ability as creation, is it strange that he does not change it for a long time?
"It's nothing, let's continue looking for the seal. I was just curious."
Jiang Ran realized that his thinking seemed to have entered a misconception. That's right, the Pope mentioned Yu Cheng, but Yu Cheng might not necessarily know the Pope.
Jiang Ran shook his head. He had to change this subconscious thought of his. Even if someone was involved with those gods, it didn't mean that such a person was not trustworthy to him.
Guided by the pointer, the group quickly arrived at a residential building. They changed the angle of the pointer to confirm that the stamp was located somewhere upstairs.
Thump thump thump—
A series of crisp sounds came from the stairs. When the group turned around, they found that a pile of marbles had rolled down from upstairs.
"My marbles, don't run away—"
A little boy who looked to be less than ten years old was running down the stairwell with a glass-like container in his hands, trying to stop the beads. But even though he tried his best, most of the beads still rolled down to the ground floor.
The little boy looked up and gave the three of them a strange smile.
"Big brother, big sister, can you help me pick up these beads? I'll be very upset if I can't find them!"
Yu Cheng looked at the glass beads scattered all over the ground. Most of the glass beads were on the ground floor and could be picked up easily, but some were still missing and it was possible that they had even fallen into the sewer.
It's not impossible to find every single one for him, but it's too complicated, and the group certainly wouldn't want to waste their time like that.
"It's not impossible for us to help you if you want."
Jiang Ran squatted down and leaned close to the little boy's ear.
"But you have to trade something with us. We need a red stamp."
Jiang Ran kept a close eye on the hostility level above the little boy's head. If the hostility level suddenly increased, Jiang Ran would immediately create distance and have Gwen kill him without hesitation!
[Xiao Nanhai (King of Deviousness), Hostility: 54%]
The hostility level remained unchanged, but the little boy excitedly squeezed Jiang Ran's hand so hard it hurt: "Yes, yes! I know what kind of seal it is! My grandpa's safe has one. If you help me find all the glass beads, I'll take you to break into grandpa's safe!"
Wow, this is truly a heart-wrenching display of filial piety!
When Jiang Ran first noticed that the little boy's level was Ghost King, he suspected that he was quite important. If it were in an A-level ghost story world, Ghost King would be a level that could be the final BOSS. Of course, he was not good enough here.
It has transcended the category of "minor monsters" and reached the level of "elite monsters".
However, this test is definitely not as simple as it seems. If Jiang Ran is not mistaken, as long as they fail to find all the glass beads, the little boy will kill them without hesitation!
Of course, their team has nothing to fear, but this also means they have lost their way to obtain the seal.
The program can only locate the seal, but cannot open the safe. And the safe in the world of rules probably cannot be opened by brute force either.
"Gwen, I'm leaving it to you!"
Don't worry!
Although he couldn't use his detection abilities, finding some glass beads was incredibly easy for a near-god!
Gwen placed her palm close to the ground, and countless blue fluorescent threads instantly surged out, spreading in all directions. In just a few seconds, the blue threads covered the entire area within a ten-meter radius, wrapping up and bringing back any glass beads that they touched.
The glass bead that rolled into the sewer was also successfully brought back. Gwen discovered that there were eerie rats roaming in the sewer. If an ordinary ghost storyteller dared to go down to retrieve the bead without some self-defense ability, he would definitely die a terrible death!
Here, take it.
Gwen controlled the threads to throw all the glass beads into the container the little boy was holding. The little boy held the glass beads in his hands and smiled with satisfaction!
"Okay! Thank you, big sister. I'll take you to break into my grandpa's safe right now!"
The little boy's hostility level has dropped to 32%, making him a friendly person.
"Hurry up! I don't know when Grandpa will be back. If he gets caught then, we'll be in big trouble!"
The little boy ran home quickly, followed closely by the three others. He pulled a dusty combination lock box from under the bed, and after pressing nine random numbers, the box finally opened!
Yu Cheng was overjoyed, because there was indeed a red seal in the safe that was exactly the same as the one in the referee's hand, meaning that at least she couldn't use her talent this time.
In addition to the red stamp, there was also a yellowed note inside the safe.
Jiang Ran took out the note.
[This is a fragment of the devil. Remember, it must not fall into the hands of evil people, or the world will face disaster. If you are a thief and see this note, please leave immediately!]
Jiang Ran never listens to advice.
"Since you only agreed to let you have the seal, you should return this note to your grandfather. It will be a way for him to remember you by his memory."
"Yes, big brother, you're such a good person!"
Jiang Ran put away the seal and was about to leave when an elderly man with gray hair walked in from outside.
"Grandson, you're so disobedient! How could you lead a thief into our home?"
The little boy was startled and quickly ran under the bed to hide!
[Xiao Laotou (Cunning King Level), Hostility: 99%]
"Young man, put down the seal, and I can give you a quick death."
Jiang Ran almost burst out laughing. In fact, he had already noticed that the strange creatures in this world didn't seem to be able to clearly recognize Gwen's level, nor did they run away as easily as they did in the previous world.
As long as Gwen doesn't actively release her aura, it seems that not many supernatural beings can recognize that she is at the [near-god] level.
"The note said it was a fragment of the demon." Jiang Ran took out the seal and played with it in his palm. "What does this mean?"
"The literal meaning," the old man said, approaching step by step. "In short, this is not something you deserve!"
"I was hoping to chat with you a little longer, what a pity."
The instant the old man made his move, Gwen slashed through his body with even greater speed!
I've already got the first stamp; next, I need to go to the referee to exchange it for information about my first story character.
"Isn't the seal just a medium of transaction? The plot of this world may be much more interesting than I imagined."
