Jiang Ran currently has three red flowers, just one more to complete her "ascension" and become the [Wolf God].
The famous ghost story tellers from various countries probably don't have many red flowers. On the contrary, those who are unknown are secretly happy. Jiang Ran doesn't know if there are any people with four red flowers among the 21 people present, but if he wants to gain an advantage in the second stage, he must first collect four red flowers!
One flower probably won't be enough, because once he enters the forest, he'll likely be tricked by some scoundrel into getting another one. So Jiang Ran conservatively estimates that he needs two red flowers to be in the [Wolf God] state for the first hour of the second phase!
The expressions on everyone's faces were not good. The addition of strange individuals and clergy undoubtedly made the mortality rate in the second phase quite high.
Everyone entered the forest one after another, but Qi Long still did not choose to travel with the two of them. Instead, he took out a life tablet with four red flowers, which meant that he could ascend to heaven right now!
Wow! Uncle Long, you collected all four red flowers so quickly?
Qi Long nodded: "The plan remains unchanged. I will kill as many other ghost storytellers as possible during this phase. I may not be able to come back alive during this phase, but that doesn't matter."
Qi Long didn't want to explain anything further and left the group directly.
“Then, Brother Jiang, let’s part ways here.” Jiang Yaoyao stretched. “You know, sheep can trust sheep, but one wolf can’t trust another. At least let’s make sure we don’t die at the hands of our own people, don’t you agree?”
Jiang Ran couldn't figure out what the girl in front of him was thinking, but she was right. In this individual battle, no one was trustworthy.
After saying goodbye to Jiang Ran, Jiang Yaoyao took out her life tablet.
There were four red flowers on it!
The addition of the Ascension mechanism has made many people eager to replenish their red flowers. Jiang Ran no longer has to worry about not having opponents at the betting table. The only thing he needs to consider is whether he can win at the betting table!
"There seems to be a betting table in this direction."
Jiang Ran followed the direction he remembered and suddenly noticed something hanging on a tree branch to his upper left.
"Wait... what's this?"
A doll!
Blue hair and that signature big scissors on his back—he must have run into someone he knows!
Individual ID 520, Contract Doll!
This time, before Jiang Ran could even trigger it, the contract doll transformed into human form on its own!
"Huh? It's you again?" Gwen pulled out a pair of scissors from her back and started slashing wildly at the air in front of Jiang Ran. "You dare show your face in front of me again? You're out of guns this time, aren't you? I'll kill you!"
"Wait, wait, wait. It seems you can't lay a hand on me before we make a contract, right?" Jiang Ran crossed his arms and looked at her with a smile. "So many worlds have passed, our contract must have expired long ago."
"Ugh..." Gwen puffed out her cheeks angrily, but in the end, she could only deflate like a punctured balloon and put the scissors back behind her back.
"If you don't want to sign, then get lost! Don't bother me while I wait for my prey to take the bait!"
Jiang Ran stepped forward and ruffled her hair: "A contract isn't necessarily something that can't be signed."
"You pervert, don't touch me with your filthy hands!" Gwen blushed slightly and quickly took two steps back before realizing what she had done, her eyes gleaming. "Really want to sign a contract? Hmph, then this time I'll be merciful and only ask for one of your arms!"
"Little girl should have higher aspirations; she can't just be thinking about other people's arms all the time."
"You seem to have said something rude." Gwen put her hands on her hips and moved closer. "If you don't want to give me an arm, what do you want to give me? A foot? Tsk tsk, forget it, it's not tasty!"
As the ancients said, eating meat to fill your stomach only benefits you for a day, but a rich spiritual world is something that will benefit you for a lifetime!
"Did you just make that up on the spot?"
"That's not important!"
"No! This is important!" Gwen poked Jiang Ran's chest with her finger in disdain. "You're not thinking of getting something for nothing, are you? Let me tell you, no way!"
"I can tell you what happens after Little Red Riding Hood reaches the Nascent Soul stage."
"Hmph! We bizarre creatures also have our own bottom line!"
"Do you want to know what realm comes after the Nascent Soul stage?"
"Ahem, it seems this bottom line isn't impossible to adjust. Alright, alright! I'll just take one of your fingers! No more haggling, okay?"
Jiang Ran's face darkened. This little girl was still a bit unruly. He had already "given in" so much, and she still wanted one of his fingers! Hmm, as expected, all strange creatures have black hearts!
"It's definitely not possible to drip with your finger, but I can tell you another story!"
"Hmph, I'm satisfied with Little Red Riding Hood, who knows if your new story is any good!"
"Really?" Jiang Ran grinned mischievously. "Once upon a time, there was a place called Athlete's Foot Continent. People there were ranked according to their level of Athlete's Foot cultivation. And the story begins with the sound of 'Athlete's Foot, Level Three'..."
"That person is awful! They actually broke off the engagement in public! And then what? And then what?"
"And then? Then comes paid content! Sign it or not, it's a fixed price!"
"I'll sign! I'll sign! Hurry up and tell me! May the author of Calvin Klein's work die a horrible death!"
"Thirty years in Jiangdong, thirty years in Jiangxi, never underestimate a young man's potential! It is said that after Xiao Yan arrived in Jiangdong, he made a name for himself, known as the 'Iron Wall of Jiangdong,' and he also obtained his own spiritual treasure, the Ancient Ding Blade..."
As they talked, Jiang Ran and Gwen arrived at a betting table. There was already a person sitting on the other side, Koji Gojiro from Japan.
His eyes darkened: "Jiang Ran from the Dragon Kingdom?"
"How about we take a gamble?"
He has two red flowers. If he wins, he will be one step closer to ascension. If he loses, he will only lose one flower. That's why he dares to challenge Jiang Ran directly!
"Is that little girl next to you a strange creature?"
Kojiro was somewhat alarmed when he noticed Gwen; he seemed to have already guessed what Jiang Ran's talent was!
That's right, it must be a way to abduct young girls (scratch that), a method to tame strange creatures!
"What is a betting table? There's no need to gamble, so please continue!"
Gwen tugged at Jiang Ran's sleeve, trying to persuade him to give up the idea of a gambling table!
"No, I'll still gamble, sweetie. I'll tell you after I win."
"So how does this betting work?"
"Hmm..." Jiang Ran thought about the two previous gambling sessions, "It seems to be something like playing cards."
"Okay!" Gwen patted her chest. "Then I'll peek at the other side's cards for you. You have to win quickly!"
