Jiang Ran's view also showed the old man's information.
[Wang Shouyi (Elite), Hostility: 53%]
Is it possible that any random NPC is an elite? While elites aren't exactly big shots in a normal S-rank dungeon, they shouldn't be appearing in droves.
Look at the crowds coming and going. If everyone here has elite-level skills, then this world event is truly a grand undertaking!
"What's wrong, little girl?"
"Excuse me, sir, I'd like to ask if you've ever seen a red seal that's about this size? If you do, could you please tell us? Thank you!"
The old man squinted: "A seal..."
Jiang Ran only saw the hostility value above the old man's head instantly jump from 53% to 92%! So he immediately used Wips's talent to pass on the message to the others.
"Everyone, don't ask about the location of the seal yet, it's dangerous!"
On the surface, he listened calmly as the old man continued his story.
Judging from the hostility level, the old man now wants to kill the two of them! But danger doesn't mean the road is blocked.
"Of course I know that!" the old man clapped his hands. "I have plenty at home! If you want some, come home with me!"
Judging from the referee's words, the seal is obviously very rare, but this old man actually said he has a bunch at home? This makes Gwen doubt whether the seal he mentioned is really the one she is looking for.
But no matter what, we have to go and take a look!
"Jiang Ran?"
"Okay, let's go."
The old man's home was on the first floor of the nearest building in the residential complex, so it only took the two of them less than three minutes to get to his home.
"Come, sit down, have some tea!"
The old man quickly poured a cup of tea for each of them, his smile a little too enthusiastic, while his hostility level had reached 97%!
Gwen has now lost her powers and can no longer check whether the two cups of tea are poisoned. However, anyone with a sound mind would probably not drink something of unknown origin.
"Drink up! Why aren't you drinking? This is top-quality Pu'er tea!"
The old man's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and his smile gradually faded.
"We're only here for the seal." Jiang Ran didn't even glance at the two cups of tea. "So let's get straight to the point, Uncle Wang Shouyi."
"How do you know my name..." the old man sneered. "When you enter someone else's home, shouldn't you at least show some courtesy?"
"Courtesy is reserved for those who are worthy of it."
Seeing the hostility radiating from the old man's head reaching almost 99%, Jiang Ran lost all interest in pretending to talk to him properly.
"I have a question I'm curious about." Jiang Ran smiled and walked step by step toward the old man. "What exactly is that seal to you that warrants such a big fuss? The moment we mentioned it, you actually wanted to kill me?"
"You can't get the seal from any of us!" The old man's body began to tremble violently. Then, one hand burst open his chest and came out, and another hand broke through his skull and came out. His four hands were waving around, looking extremely bizarre!
"Go to hell!"
The old man roared and charged over!
A blue blade flashed, and Gwen easily beheaded him!
"Would mentioning the seal in front of these residents make someone a kill target? If it were anyone else here, they would probably already be dead."
Jiang Ran relayed the message to the others again via the connection. Ye Ye's strength surpasses that of elites, so he can act a little bolder. However, the talents of the others are subject to consumption and are not worth wasting on such matters.
"I followed the old lady into the basement. I'll report back if there's any news."
This is a message sent by Ye Ye.
However, if any of them were to be the first to find the seal, it would undoubtedly be—
"Brother Jiang Ran, could you come over here for a second? I've located the seal."
Yu Cheng can directly use his talent to create items for finding lost objects, but the cost will definitely be different for finding different items. After confirming that he could not find the seal by asking, Yu Cheng decisively used his ability.
If you can find one seal, you might be able to find other seals by following the same pattern!
The reason Yu Cheng called Jiang Ran over was probably because the search for the seal had taken a heavy toll on her, leaving her with insufficient stamina to fight. To be on the safe side, she needed an extra fighter!
Jiang Ran quickly searched the old man's room and indeed found no trace of the red seal; it was indeed a trap.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
The group had only been separated for a short time, so they were not far apart. Jiang Ran quickly came to Yu Cheng's side, and Yu Cheng didn't waste any words, but opened the pointer in his hand.
"Following the pointer will lead me to the seal, but I didn't expect it to be so taxing. It's taken away more than 30% of my stamina!"
In other words, even if Yu Cheng exhausts all his stamina, he can only find three seals. And these are just seals, not even plot characters. As expected of an SSS-level dungeon, it restricts them in every way!
However, stamina is easier to manage than a fixed number of uses, because stamina can be restored. But there are advantages and disadvantages. If too much stamina is consumed at once, it may be difficult to even move.
"It's over there, Brother Jiang Ran, let's go."
Yu Cheng, holding the pointer, walked at the front, while Jiang Ran brought up the rear, pondering the previous question once again.
Why would the Pope specifically mention Yu Cheng's name? Although Yu Cheng's abilities are highly manipulable, they are limited by his own physical strength. Although he is marked as SS-rank, he only has SS-rank strength in most cases.
Could it be that the Pope deliberately mentioned her name as a smokescreen? No, Jiang Ran couldn't believe such an explanation.
“Yu Cheng, it seems you haven’t changed your talent for creation since you received it.”
“Brother Jiang Ran, only you would treat changing your talent as something so ordinary.” Yu Cheng turned his head and smiled helplessly. “As you know, there are only two ways to change your talent: one is to not use your talent and survive the first day, and the other is to complete the game. However, my talent usage rate is extremely high, so the first one is almost impossible.”
"And recently I've been playing almost exclusively A-level worlds, with many powerful ghost story masters from other countries. How many chances do I have to clear them? Even if I do manage to clear one occasionally, I might not be able to find a talent even stronger than Creation."
"So, you haven't tried to change your talent since you acquired it?"
