The two continued upwards, pushing open the door to greed.
"Ugh... Who is it that's disturbing my sleep?"
"Nice to meet you, here's a gift for you."
Jiang Ran handed the board game set he had taken from [Snake] to Greed.
"Oh, sir, we've only just met, and we haven't even told each other our names, yet you're already willing to give me a gift? That's incredibly generous!"
Greed immediately stood up from the ground, but hesitated to take the board game.
"Well... I have to prepare a return gift when I receive a gift, right? Damn it, I don't seem to have anything worth giving. Oh, right! There's one more thing!"
He set his sights on his underwear!
"There's absolutely no need for that!"
Jiang Ran quickly grabbed his hand!
“Sir, I am so touched! To be willing to give gifts to others without expecting anything in return, you must be as generous as I am. Oh, by the way, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I am [Greed]. And you, sir?”
"My name is Jiang Ran."
Jiang Ran, you originally wanted to give a fake name, but you were afraid that this guy would find out and retort, "You actually wanted to use a fake name to exchange for your real name, you are really 'greedy'."
“Mr. Jiang, what a fine name.” Greed took the board game. “Although you said you didn’t want a return gift, I can’t go against my own principles. Only in this way can I go to heaven after I die!”
These bizarre creatures want to go to heaven? Dream on...
"Alright then! Since you don't want my underwear, even though it's the last thing I have left, I'll give you something else as a return gift: my 'heart of great sin'!"
Japanese netizens who were watching the live stream while eating immediately burst out laughing: What the hell? Is it that simple?
Then wouldn't their deaths have been for nothing if they released the handbrake?
No, no, no, all Lin Changqing can say is that at least he provided some crucial intelligence.
Jiang Ran smiled and said, "Since you are so kind as to accept, I will not refuse."
“That’s great, sir! I’m glad you’re willing to accept!” Greed nodded. “However, that thing isn’t in my possession right now. As you can see, I only have my underwear on.”
Well, you don't really need to keep emphasizing that you only have one pair of underwear.
“My sinful heart is now in the ‘birth chamber,’ and the key to the birth chamber is in the ‘laboratory.’”
[Rule Twelve: Do not enter rooms marked "Laboratory" or "Birthroom" at the entrance, and do not discuss the existence of these two types of rooms with [The Great Sin]]
Laboratory and birthing room?
Does the word "greed" mean that the rule is wrong? No, perhaps not.
Now it is Greed that is talking to Him about the existence of these two rooms, rather than Him talking to Greed, so theoretically there is no violation of the rules.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to lead the way."
To avoid violating the rules, Jiang Ran had no choice but to refrain from directly mentioning the names of the two rooms in the conversation.
The heart of great sin lies within; it's impossible not to go. If a certain zodiac animal blocks the way, you'll likely never obtain the heart of great sin unless you go in person.
"Don't worry, sir, it's very close, just one floor up."
There are three different Chinese zodiac animals on this level!
The tiger will drive away intruders!
The rooster will warn you of impending danger!
The rabbit can't talk!
"No ox, no snake, no dragon, this floor's layout is really peaceful."
Is it possible that, like sloth, greed can lead to the Great Sin without completing any game?
I hope so.
The three arrived at the room, where a sign that read "Laboratory" was hanging on the door, and a chicken-headed man was standing next to it.
However, he did not stop the three of them; instead, he gestured for them to come in.
Greed walked straight in, but when he looked back, he found that Jiang Ran and Gwen were still standing there without moving.
"What's wrong, sir? Oh, right! I'm here to prepare the gift for you, how can I let you do it yourself? Mr. Jiang, please wait outside the door, I'll get the key!"
The rules state that you cannot enter these two rooms. Since we don't know if they are real or fake, it is of course the best choice not to go in. Since Greed is willing to search for himself, let him search for a while.
Ten minutes later, Greed came out with a bitter face.
"I'm sorry, sir, it seems my key has been locked up as if it were a laboratory tool. I can't crack the code. How about I just give you the underwear instead?"
It wasn't that simple after all!
Should we go in? As it stands, as long as we don't go in, we definitely won't get the Heart of Great Sin, which clearly contradicts their goal. Therefore, we can deduce that this rule is wrong.
Jiang Ran mentally repeated the rules once more.
[Rule Twelve: Do not enter rooms marked "Laboratory" or "Birthroom" at the entrance, and do not discuss the existence of these two types of rooms with [The Great Sin]]
"Do not enter the room marked 'Laboratory' on the door..."
Jiang Ran took two steps forward, took down the sign that read "Laboratory" from the door, and threw it aside!
"Now this room doesn't need to be marked anymore, right? Let's go in!"
Driven by greed, the three of them arrived at a safe.
"As you can see, sir, this safe can only be entered once. If the password is wrong, it will be automatically destroyed. I really have no choice. I have thought about it for a long time but I dare not try it lightly."
This is not a traditional combination lock. The safe only has six buttons, corresponding to the six elements of water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and wood, and there is a very long message below it.
[The One-Eyed One reigns eternally over the divine palace, with twelve stars shining brightly, accompanied by the power of thunder.]
It is obvious that greed cannot know the password.
Gwen was also completely bewildered, and Jiang Ran was equally lost in thought.
"Twelve? Does that refer to the Chinese zodiac? ...No, it doesn't."
A moment later, Jiang Ran stepped forward and pressed the button representing [Earth]!
With a click, the safe was successfully opened!
"Hey! You figured it out so quickly?" Gwen asked incredulously. "By the way, what does that line have to do with [earth]?"
"It's normal that you don't know. To be honest, if this question were a little more challenging, I might not know the answer either."
"The one-eyed god who eternally reigns over the palace refers to Odin, the king of the gods in Norse mythology, and his weapon Gungnir, the spear of eternity. The palace refers to Asgard, and the twelve stars represent the twelve Olympian gods."
"From this, we can infer that the power of thunder refers to Thor, the God of Thunder, and the accompanying power of thunder likely refers to Thor's wife, Sif."
"Sif is the goddess of the earth in Norse mythology, so the only element to choose is [Earth]."
