Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Adela suddenly recalled this very important rule, so her life was strongly bound to Benny, and she didn't have to worry about Benny not caring about her life or death.

As for food, there is no need to worry, Benny will definitely give himself some.

——(What a sinister guy! He even threatened me with food before...)

——(It turns out it was just bluffing!)

At that moment, Adela felt the joy of "thinking with her brain."

Only now did she realize that her mind was such a useful weapon that could help her get out of trouble effortlessly.

·

However, after the happiness, Adela soon felt pain again.

Because she realized that if Benny wanted a hostage who was easy to control, he would definitely starve her half to death first.

Just imagine, when returning to the outside world, Benny would definitely prefer a weak hostage who is limp all over rather than a hostage who can break free from his control at any time.

——(Damn it... I need to think of a way to change the situation...)

After knowing that she would not die, Adela's goal quickly rose to a higher level. She not only wanted to survive, but also wanted to find a way to help her idiot second brother after leaving the "Tower".

So, she began to think, besides being a "hostage", did she have any other "use" value to Benny?

Looking at the maze around her, Adela fell into deep thought.

Then, she actually thought about it.

Before this, Adela had a suspicion that Benny's progress in conquering the tower was currently stuck at the third floor.

If she could help Benny as a good teammate, then Benny might let Adela eat and drink enough for the sake of combat efficiency.

However, Adela also knew that this cunning and insidious Benny would not be so easy to fool, so while demonstrating her strength, she had to win the other party's trust.

——(How can I gain his trust...?)

Adela subconsciously curled her hair with her fingers. This unintentional action made her notice a very objective fact. This fact was:

Adela is a woman and Benny is a man.

8.110 - Touching People's Hearts

——(Should I use my beauty to seduce him...)

Adela was troubled.

As far as she knew, there was a group of humans who particularly liked demi-humans like them who had animal ears and tails. The craziest ones among them would even rush over and rub their faces against their fur.

So, is Benny such a person?

So far, Adela hadn't felt that Benny treated her as a woman at all. If this guy had a special liking for demihumans, he would have shown it long ago.

So, it may not be that easy to seduce him.

——(I can only pretend to give up resistance for now and see if he will let down his guard...)

Adela sighed. If she hadn't stayed up late at night and gone out to play pranks, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

If she had a chance to leave the tower alive, she would definitely be a good werewolf and never seek death again.

·

After deciding not to go against Benny, Adela also relaxed.

She was wandering about the staircase room when she came across a brass chest in a corner.

--(This is……?)

Adela looked around nervously, and after confirming that Benny showed no signs of coming back, she decisively opened the box!

Then she was dumbfounded.

Adela had been expecting water and food in the box, but unexpectedly, the box was filled with scrap metal used by the skeleton monsters. Her swords and shields were useless...!

Just at this moment, Adela's stomach growled.

She had only eaten half a pancake the entire day, and she had fought with all her might several times, but now she was starving.

——(I can’t do that anymore. I can’t waste any more energy…)

Adela covered her stomach, which was beginning to feel a burning sensation, and slowly retreated to the wall and sat down.

If she doesn't conserve her energy, she won't be able to seize the opportunity even if it comes later.

Jiang Ran stood in the shadows and was quite satisfied with Adela's change of mood.

After his efforts, the white wolf girl finally gradually realized her identity as a hostage.

This is an important prerequisite for applying the "Stockholm Effect".

Next, Jiang Ran did not plan to move forward with the plan too quickly, because the "hostage plot" needed to be cultivated slowly, and being impatient would only lead to counterproductive results.

While Adela was resting, Jiang Ran stole the last skill she used, "Septic Blood Fake", went up to the third floor of the tower, cleared out all the monsters near the stairs, and raised his level to 78. He was only 90 levels away from the third level full level of 12.

At this point, Jiang Ran must consider leaving some "experience points" for Adela, otherwise when they reach the fourth floor and face a whole floor of fourth-level monsters, it will be more difficult to help Adela "level up".

only……

(It’s not the right time yet…)

Jiang Ran walked down the stairs and returned to the room on the second floor, where he found the White Wolf Girl sleeping with her back against the wall.

(Are you really that careless...?)

Jiang Ran paused and corrected his judgment.

(It's not that I'm not vigilant, but I've already decided that I won't kill her... Such thoughts, at this early stage, are unacceptable...)

After thinking about it, Jiang Ran made some fine-tuning to his original plan.

He returned to the third floor and stripped the robes and cloaks from the skeletons of the Skeleton Fire Mage and the Skeleton Assassin, collecting a total of six pieces. Then he returned to the staircase room on the second floor and used these materials to piece together a temporary bed on the ground. Finally, he placed the sleeping White Wolf Girl on it and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Jiang Ran looked at the time. It was already 3:30 in the afternoon.

He ate something simple, then sat on the stairs and began to improve his skill proficiency.

If he couldn't get to the fourth level even with the White Wolf Girl, then the new attributes gained by upgrading the skills to a certain level would be his only hope.

Adela slept for an unknown amount of time before she was awakened by a hunger that seemed to burn her stomach.

In her dream, she was eating meat with big mouthfuls, but when she opened her eyes, everything was gone and she was immediately overwhelmed by disappointment and emptiness.

——(Yeah... I'm still trapped in this tower...)

—(Hmm? Wait, what's with this soft 'bed'? Didn't I fall asleep sitting on the floor?)

The sleepy Adela suddenly woke up. She sat up in one breath and found herself lying on a "bed" made of robes and cloaks.

The 'bed' wouldn't appear on its own. The person who created the 'bed' and placed Adela on it could only be that human boy...!

——(Why the hell is he suddenly so nice to me?!)

—(Wait, wait, he wasn’t going to do this to me while I was asleep…!!!)

Adela trembled violently all over and hurriedly checked her clothes. Fortunately, they were still neatly dressed.

She felt every part of her body again, but it didn't seem like she had been rubbed at all. Finally, she sniffed herself, and only her shoulders and knees had a slight human scent. It seemed that nothing had happened...

——(Damn it… Because I thought he wouldn’t kill me, I couldn’t help but let my guard down!)

——(How could I forget this guy is a man!)

Benny's indifference caused Adela to make a misjudgment. Fortunately, this guy has not discovered Adela's charm yet.

Adela subconsciously buttoned her collar and lowered the hem of her clothes, trying to cover her female features as much as possible.

Then, she carefully looked around to find out where the human boy had run off to.

·

It didn't take much effort for Adela to find the young man sitting on the stairs with his eyes closed.

This guy looks like he is asleep, but also like he is just resting with his eyes closed.

This situation made Adela even more confused. This guy had specially made a bed for Adela to sleep on, and then sat on the hard steps himself? What was wrong with him?

After watching quietly for a while, Adela felt that this guy must have really fallen asleep, and she was very hungry, so she tiptoed over to him.

——(I’ll just take a piece of black bread…)

——(Don’t wake up…)

——(If I starve to death, you’ll be in danger too, right?)

As the bag filled with water and food got closer, Adela's heart beat faster and faster.

But just as she put her hand on the bag, the boy's hand also grabbed Adela's wrist.

"Hey, what do you want to do?"

Adela was extremely embarrassed and petrified instantly.

In a hurry, she couldn't find any good excuse and could only confess.

"I...I'm hungry..."

Adela thought, since the boy was willing to let her sleep in the "bed", he should also give her something to eat, right?

But the result was that not only did the boy not give Adela food, he also scolded her fiercely.

"Being hungry is your business, not mine. If I see you trying to steal water and food again, I will chop off your hands."

8.111 - Despair Falls (Part )

The cold words were like a loud slap in Adela's face.

This kind of ruthless words reminded her of the scene when she was a child and was ruthlessly criticized by her father.

While she was stunned, the boy shook off her hand, causing her, who was already a little weak, to stagger and accidentally fall to the ground.

"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me! Why are you so fierce?"

Adela suddenly felt a little aggrieved. This emotion did not arise at this moment, but had been accumulating since yesterday and had exploded until now.

She did have the idea of ​​stealing food just now, but so what? She didn't succeed, so was there any need to say it so decisively?

and……

"If you don't plan to give me food! Then why do you let me sleep on the bed?! Are you crazy?!" Adela cursed.

Yes, if the boy had not made a "bed" for her to sleep on, she would not have mistakenly thought that the relationship between the two sides had become harmonious.

Ultimately, it's all because of this guy!

"The bed is because..."

As soon as the boy opened his mouth, Adela met his gaze.

For some reason, the boy looked away guiltily, then said perfunctorily, "If you develop health problems and become unable to move because of sleeping on the floor, it will cause trouble for me."

--(ha?)

——(What’s the reason?)

Adela couldn't accept such a far-fetched statement and immediately questioned it back.

"Wouldn't you be in trouble too if I starved to death?! Your explanation is bullshit!"

At this moment, the boy's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked directly into Adela's eyes and gave an answer.

"You haven't eaten for just one day. You won't starve to death. You should save your energy."

These words left Adela speechless.
