Jiang Ran stood up again only after Adela fell asleep completely.

He saw clearly every move and every thought of Adela just now.

Including 'accidentally falling asleep beside the 'bed' while feeding', all of these were specially arranged by Jiang Ran.

People always have a preconceived notion that what they observe quietly in the dark must be the truth.

Jiang Ran took advantage of this mentality and made Adela believe that he had done some good deeds for her sincerely even when she was extremely disgusted with him.

An ancient saying goes that no matter how many good things a good person has done, as long as he does one bad thing, people will say that he has fallen and become bad.

On the contrary, no matter how unforgivable a wicked person's crimes are, as long as he does one good thing, people will be deeply moved and think that a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold.

Jiang Ran is now the evil guy who did a good thing, and will use this as an opportunity to break into Adela's heart.

8.113 - Getting Better (Second Update)

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Adela woke up again.

This time, after eating half a piece of brown bread and replenishing water, her physical condition was obviously much better, but she was still weak.

She supported herself with her hands and sat up, looking around for the human boy, but found that he was not nearby.

——(Where did you go…?)

Adela slowly stood up with the help of the wall, walked out of the staircase room and looked around, but still did not see the human boy. Instead, she noticed that the countdown at the axis of the tower did not match the number she expected.

"There are still 205 hours left...how come less than two days have passed?"

In Adela's subjective feeling, she thought that four or five days must have passed.

So...it was hunger that created the illusion...Adela thought.

Since there is still so much time left, maybe she can bring about some changes to the current situation... ?

Adela returned to the staircase room while thinking. She used to not like thinking, but after experiencing the hardships of the past two days, she became accustomed to thinking, and this was one of the few things she could do now.

She glanced at the stairs leading to the third floor but didn't go up because she had sworn to Benedict not to run away.

Rather than going up to the third floor to see what kind of monsters there were, she now wanted to figure out what was going on with Benny.

·

Adela listed everything Benny had done so far and discovered a pattern.

She found that whenever they met face to face, Benny would be very sharp and mean to her, showing no mercy at all;

After he fell asleep, Benny was surprisingly nice to him and would rather feed him food than let him go hungry.

Therefore, this guy wanted to put pressure on Adela to make her obedient, but he was also very worried about Adela's health, fearing that she would become too weak.

——(Thinking about it carefully, even when I attacked him, he never fought back. Until now, he has never taken the initiative to hurt me...)

——(Besides, I'm not going to die after just one or two days of not eating. If this guy really wants to stick to his food-saving strategy, there's no need to feed me so early...)

Thinking of this, Adela seemed to understand.

Benny wants to achieve his goal but doesn't want to hurt innocent people. In other words, he is a typical good guy.

If that's the case, Adela just needs to pretend she doesn't know and avoid confronting him head-on.

As long as she could get out alive, she would have won.

·

Adela felt that she had figured out the situation and was proud of her rational analysis.

But what she didn't realize was that her wishes had been quietly changed without her knowing it, and she had also let go of her hostility towards Benny to a certain extent.

In order to reduce the burden of Benny playing the villain in front of her, she even lay back on the "bed". On the one hand, it saved her energy, and on the other hand, she could quickly pretend to be asleep when Benny came back from the third floor, thus avoiding the tense situation when the two faced each other.

As for going up to the third floor to see what was going on, Adela had no such idea at all.

Her freedom of thought and action had been subtly brought into a "cage", but this "cage" was so huge that she was unaware of it.

Now she was only thinking about two things. One was that she didn't know when Benny would feed her next time, as she wasn't full yet. The other was that she hoped the remaining time would pass quickly, so that after she got out of the "tower", she would be free.

·

Adela was lying on the bed, thinking and falling asleep again unknowingly.

After she fell into a deep sleep, Jiang Ran, who had been hiding in the shadows, slowly walked out.

He actually didn't go up to the third floor, but was secretly observing Adela.

Adela's change in mentality will have a crucial impact on how Jiang Ran's next plan will unfold.

Judging from the current progress, Jiang Ran thought it was going smoothly. The trick he used, "the sudden concern from the villain", was indeed effective on a girl like Adela who lacked care.

Even though she said so many harsh words to her yesterday, she had already made excuses for Jiang Ran in her mind today.

Humans are always subjective animals.

·

After confirming Adela's condition, Jiang Ran officially went to the third floor.

At the entrance of the stairs on the third floor, there were other dry food that Jiang Ran had stored. What he showed to Adela yesterday was only a part of it.

By relying on this kind of "information control", Jiang Ran was able to create the image of a miserable person in her mind who would rather starve himself than feed her.

The male protagonist in a sad drama has always been a favorite of girls.

According to the standards calculated in advance, Jiang Ran replenished his water and food, then hid these supplies again and continued to explore the third floor.

After yesterday's exploration, Jiang Ran had gained experience today and was able to deal with the third-level monsters on this floor without even relying on Adela's skills.

He was seen walking calmly in the maze. When the red light warned him that an invisible skeleton assassin was about to attack from behind, he did not dodge, but directly swung the double swords in his hands and slashed backwards!

With a crisp "click" sound, Jiang Ran, who had the advantage of attack distance, hit the skeleton assassin behind him in advance. Then, he immediately activated the skill "Shadow Stealing", stole the skeleton assassin's "Invisibility" in an instant, and then entered the invisible state.

After the Skeleton Assassin was hit by an inexplicable attack, he suddenly couldn't find the enemy and was stunned.

Then, it made another fatal mistake, which was not leaving its position immediately.

A second later, an attack from behind the cervical spine killed the Skeleton Assassin. Until its death, it never understood why the human just now suddenly attacked "where there seemed to be nothing behind him".

·

After dealing with the skeleton assassin, Jiang Ran did not immediately remove the "invisibility" because he knew that the sound of fighting would definitely attract other enemies - this was also the experience he gained from yesterday's land reclamation.

Sure enough, not long after, a skeleton fire mage wearing a robe and holding a black wooden staff arrived, and at the same time, a skeleton captain with two swords came running from another direction.

Faced with this situation where there were enemies on both sides, Jiang Ran's choice was to run in front of the Skeleton Fire Mage and deliberately show up, tricking him into casting a "Fireball" and then immediately avoid it, allowing the Skeleton Dual Blade Captain on the other side to take the unexpected attack.

Although there is no hatred between monsters, this does not prevent Jiang Ran from creating opportunities for them to hurt each other.

When the Skeleton Fire Mage and the Skeleton Dual-Knife Captain were approaching close, Jiang Ran deliberately became invisible again in front of them, and then used the "Shadow Escape Step" to move to the farthest place in one breath.

The two skeleton monsters, still thinking that the enemy was still nearby, immediately launched a range attack on the empty air, causing each of them to suffer a lot of friendly damage.

Jiang Ran, who was hiding in the distance, leisurely stole the Skeleton Fire Mage's area attack skill "Sea of ​​Flames", and then found a tricky angle to skewer the two monsters together.

After the battle, Jiang Ran gained 17 experience points and his level was raised to 5000. However, his greater gain was that his "Shadow Stealing Technique" was finally upgraded to level 83, unlocking a new entry!

The author of this stupid book has recently been unable to bear the pressure of the three-dimensional world and has some health problems.

I'm going to get acupuncture tomorrow, wish me good luck?

Everyone should really take care of their health, especially those readers who like to stay up late.

8.114 - The authorities are confused

As a third-level skill, it is really difficult to master the Shadow Stealing Technique.

Not only does the skill itself have a long cooldown of 60 seconds, but it also requires a target object to be released, all of which caused trouble for Jiang Ran when he was using the skill.

During the past two days, Jiang Ran took advantage of Adela's sleep and cleverly used her as an object to improve his skill proficiency. He stole her skills over and over again for about one or two hundred times, and finally completed the final sprint of "Shadow Stealing" from level 9 to level 10.

Compared to first and second level skills, third level skills provide a huge amount of attribute points, regardless of the skill effects.

The level 10 "Shadow Stealing Technique" provided Jiang Ran with a total of 505 points of dexterity and 45 points of wisdom, which was quite impressive.

After reaching level 10, the new attribute of "Thief" brought Jiang Ran a surprise. The specific effect of this new attribute is: every time you use a stolen skill, the cooldown time of "Thief" will be restored by 5 seconds;

The effect, which seemed quite ordinary at first glance, was very unusual in Jiang Ran's mind, because this new entry immediately opened up his imagination.

[img=700,902]https://rss.sfacg.com/web/novel/images/UploadPic/2023/03/09fde1cf-ac25-4386-a9f7-b611e8018429.jpg[/img]

In Jiang Ran's opinion, with this new entry, as long as he can steal skills with shorter cooldown times, it means he can steal more than two skills at the same time.

In addition, as long as he finds a target with a short skill cooldown time, he can use higher efficiency to brush the proficiency of "Shadow Stealing"!

It can be said that this new entry not only raises the "lower limit" of "Shadow Stealing", but also raises the "upper limit" to a whole new level.

(Well, good, let’s call it a day!)

The first thing Jiang Ran thought of was Adela's skill "Blood Blade". This skill only had a 15-second cooldown time and was undoubtedly the first choice to help him improve his skill proficiency.

Moreover, he was not at all anxious about the progress of conquering the "Tower". Instead, he needed to spend more time and effort on the White Wolf Girl.

So Jiang Ran set out to return to the staircase room on the second floor, and then found that the White Wolf Girl was still sleeping.

As for sleeping, Jiang Ran also has his own way of dealing with it. It would even be better to say that when Adela is sleeping, Jiang Ran has more opportunities to do something.

Adela woke up feeling dazed.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but the first thing she did when she woke up was to see if Benny was there.

This time, by chance, Benny was not far away, doing something unknown.

Adela quietly moved her body, pretending to be still asleep, and finally found the angle to see what was in Benny's hand.

—(Black bread…?)

She saw that Benny was dividing the brown bread into small portions, apparently intending to distribute the food according to the remaining days.

Even though food was so scarce, he was still willing to give priority to Adela in replenishing her food, which touched Adela's heart.

After packing the food, Benny picked up a brick and carved something on it with a dagger.

Adela was too far away to see clearly what Benny had carved.

She just watched quietly until Benny hid the brick in the corner of the wall, and then watched Benny walk up the stairs to the third floor.

·

As soon as Benny left, Adela jumped up, tiptoed to the place where Benny hid the bricks, and found them.

While paying attention to the movements around her, she quickly scanned the words on the brick and found that Benny had actually carved a "suicide note" on the brick!

It turned out that Benny had no choice but to resort to this measure because he did not bring paper and pen into the "Tower" this time. What he wrote in the "suicide note" was an apology to his teammates.

In his suicide note, Benny wrote that he really hated Kenroshi Okami, but he couldn't let Adela Okami, who had nothing to do with this evil man, become a victim.

Therefore, after leaving the Tower, he would try his best to scare Kenroshi Okami, but he could not actually take Adela Okami hostage.

Moreover, he was prepared to risk his life to hold Kenroshi Okami back.

——"I'm sorry, everyone, but if we do evil to achieve our goals, we'll become the same as Kenroshi Okami."

After reading it, Adela read the last sentence over and over again, and finally understood why Benny was ruthless to her on the surface, but secretly took care of her.

"It turns out that this guy has it so hard...", Adela murmured to herself.

At this moment, Adela quietly had an idea of ​​wanting to help Benny in her heart, but this idea was not strong, it was just a throbbing feeling.

·

An hour later, Benny returned from the third floor.

At this time, Adela was sitting cross-legged to save energy.

Adela looked at Benny and saw him glance at her, then look away, and then sit down cross-legged to rest like Adela.

Adela waited for a while, wanting to see if this guy would take the initiative to talk to her, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, so she had to take the initiative to speak first.
