"Hey...it's time for me to eat...right?"

Since the fact that she had been fed before was not revealed, Adela could only act and pretend that she had not eaten anything.

If Benny was willing to change his attitude at this time, Adela would consider easing the relationship with him, and even cooperate with him to pretend to be a hostage and threaten that idiot second brother.

But Adela was still wishful thinking after all. Benny rolled his eyes at her and said coldly, "You won't starve to death, so just keep enduring it."

After hearing this, Adela immediately dispelled the slight good impression she had for Benny, and thought to herself: Humph, if you like to pretend, then go ahead and pretend. When I fall asleep at night, you still have to come and feed me obediently.

So Adela stopped talking and waited quietly until she was tired and sleepy, and then she fell asleep on the floor.

Now that she no longer had any worries about survival, she slept more peacefully.

She already had a vague idea in her heart that when she woke up, she would definitely be able to lie on the "bed" specially made for her, and would also be fed a certain amount of food.

·

Sure enough, when Adela woke up again, she was already lying on the "bed".

She didn't dare open her eyes immediately because she could feel Benny putting something wet and soft into her mouth.

Adela was secretly pleased with herself, and pretending to be still asleep, she chewed the precious black bread twice and swallowed it.

——(Ah, why do we have to be so sneaky?)

Adela squinted her eyes and glanced at Benny who was feeding seriously, and she already had the thought in her mind, "I have this human boy in my hands."

However, when Benny fed Adela the last piece of black bread, he noticed that he looked at the black bread for a long time, and then reluctantly stuffed the black bread into Adela's mouth.

Such a scene, such care "accepting others' sacrifice in exchange for their own care", made Adela feel a little guilty.

8.115 - Roadblocks

From childhood to adulthood, Adela has never received much love, especially from her father, the wolf king chief.

The adults always seemed to be busy with things to do. Whenever Adela wanted to act coquettishly towards them, she would be left aside and left to play by herself.

Gradually, in order to attract the attention of adults, Adela began to play all kinds of pranks.

Whether it was adding something to an adult's water cup or causing some minor damage in the territory, she did everything she could think of, regardless of the consequences.

However, after attracting attention through pranks, Adela didn't know how to express her demands, and ultimately ended up being scolded and failed to get the love she really wanted.

Unknowingly, the name of the little devil Adela spread farther and farther, and she gradually lost herself in this futile "effort".

Eventually, when Adela grew up, bullying others and playing pranks became her ways of having fun, and her original intention of "attracting adults' attention" was no longer important, because her increasingly delicate face and graceful figure had already brought her enough attention.

However, the spiritual void often does not fill naturally as we age.

The "lack of love" buried in Adela's childhood and deep in her heart has remained empty until now without her even noticing it.

Therefore, when someone was willing to "starve themselves" to leave food for Adela, she was touched far more than the average person could feel - especially when she herself could not bear to be hungry for only one day, but this person seemed to have been hungry for two days in a row.

In addition, the person who made such a sacrifice for her was actually her enemy in terms of stance, which caused huge ripples in her heart.

——(Why are you so nice to me...)

——(It would be fine if I just didn’t die…)

——(Benny, your brain... must have been starved.)

·

After feeding Adela, Benny sat on the steps as usual and fell asleep in a half-sitting, half-leaning position.

Adela looked at him from afar, her heart was in turmoil, and then she couldn't sleep.

She was very confused now. She felt guilty towards the boy, but also worried that she couldn't face him calmly.

——(Should I make this clear?...)

——(Or would it be better to maintain the status quo?)

Adela tried to imagine the consequences of confessing to Benny. What would Benny's reaction be if he knew that Adela had been pretending to sleep to "cheat" for food and care?

After just a brief thought, Adela didn't dare to think about it anymore.

There is no doubt that Benny will be extremely disappointed and may even give up taking care of Adela.

This was something Adela could not accept.

Now, she didn't want to continue to feel guilty towards Benny, but she also wanted to have a positive communication with him, and she couldn't let him find out that she was pretending to be asleep.

The only way should be to keep the secret while showing kindness to Benny until he can let down his guard and get along with him frankly.

——(Alas...but how can I show my affection to him?)

Adela was so worried that she rolled back and forth on the "bed", her body twisted like an earthworm.

Then, unknowingly, she fell asleep.

·

·

After Adela fell asleep, it was Jiang Ran's time to move.

He quietly climbed up to the third floor of the tower, and then with the help of the effect of the "Black Jade Ring", he avoided the battle all the way to the staircase room on the third floor, where the leader of the third floor was.

The reason why Jiang Ran avoided fighting the wandering monsters was not because he couldn't defeat them, but because he had already planned to leave these "experience packs" to Adela.

And now I come to the level boss room specifically, the main purpose is to get information about the boss battle first, so that when I attack Adela next time, I can also take time to think about how to deal with the level boss and its minions.

Based on the pattern of the rooms of the leaders of each class, Jiang Ran had already had a psychological expectation before he peeped in, but when he actually saw it, he couldn't help but be startled.

In the room of the class leader, six skeleton double-blade captains were divided into two teams and stood on both sides. Behind them, there were the same number of skeleton assassins standing on each side.

Then, behind the skeleton assassins, there are six skeleton sharpshooters standing on both wings... If this combination did not have a strong vanguard in front to attract attacks, ordinary people would probably be shot into a sieve as soon as they entered.

But these are just the appetizers in the room of the class leader. The real feast is the fourth-level skeleton general guarding the middle of the entire team. This guy, wearing heavy steel armor, holding a large square shield in one hand and a war hammer in the other, is more than two meters tall. A strong murderous intent constantly overflows from him. Just by looking at him, you can tell that he is not easy to deal with.

Finally, it must be mentioned that there are six Skeleton Fire Mages hiding in the shadows behind the Skeleton General. These guys have extraordinary firepower, and if you are not careful, you will be seriously injured by their area attacks.

(A total of 1 fourth-tier, level 140, and 24 third-tier, level 90... This is really putting me in a difficult position...)

Jiang Ran thought for a moment, then used the same trick again, "Shadow Stealing", to steal the Skeleton General's skills first.

Although "Shadow Stealing" can only steal the opponent's most recently used skill, even knowing just one more skill is enough to have a crucial impact on the subsequent battle.

A second later, Jiang Ran stole a skill called "Group Battle Shield". The effect of this skill is to impose the "Battle Shield Shelter" state on a maximum of 30 skeleton monsters within a range of 70 meters around the skill user. In this state, the physical damage they receive is reduced by 10%, and the duration is seconds.

From this, it can be seen that the strategic positioning of the Skeleton General is likely to be a commander-type role. Its existence can make these already difficult to deal with third-level skeleton monsters even more difficult to deal with.

What's even more troublesome is that if Jiang Ran plans to use the advantage of the first move at the beginning of the battle to get rid of the Skeleton General first, it is impossible because this fourth-order level 140 guy has a vitality of up to , and the spine at the weak point is covered with strong armor.

This means that Jiang Ran has to withstand the various enhancement effects that this guy brings to the skeleton monsters and defeat 24 third-order level 90 skeleton monsters with a small number of enemies.

At this moment, Jiang Ran missed the Yama Knight Sword very much.

(When you're in pain...that's when you grow.)

(It's time to explore new ways of fighting.)

Jiang Ran turned around and left quietly. At this moment, he remembered that he had only used two of Adela's three skills. Maybe the third skill could solve the problem.

8.116 - Difficulties

━━━━━━━━━━

October 187, 7

7:08 AM

"Tower countdown remaining: 184 hours, 58 minutes, 3 seconds"

[Confession death countdown remaining: 10 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

Last night when Jiang Ran returned to the class leader's room on the second floor, Adela was sleeping soundly.

Given the apparent tension between the two, it wasn't easy for him to directly ask about Adela's third skill.

In the morning, Jiang Ran woke up earlier than Adela thanks to the Silly Lolita alarm clock, and then repeated the same trick, feeding Adela while she was still drowsy.

Then, Jiang Ran held back for the time being, because according to Adela's mental state before going to bed last night, today, the third day of the two of them being alone in this "tower", she would most likely take the initiative to show some positive behavior.

This is the time when Jiang Ran's psychological quality and acting skills are truly tested.

If he laughed at an inappropriate moment, all the foreplay he had laid for more than fifty hours would be wasted.

·

When Adela just woke up, she actually had some difficulty remembering what she was thinking about before going to bed the night before.

However, Benny's "dream feeding" once again made all her "guilt, tangled emotions and thoughts" come back at once.

——(Alas, what can I do...)

Adela thought about it for a long time and finally came up with only one feasible idea. Then she took the initiative to approach Benny and talk to him before he went up to the third floor.

"Hey, Benny, I'll help you explore the Tower. In return, please give me some food and water."

Adela's words could be said to be the highest manifestation of her wisdom. The best proof of this was that Benny, who always had a poker face, actually showed a slightly surprised expression.

"Where did you hear me called 'Benny'?" Benny asked with a puzzled look.

After hearing this, Adela remembered that this was the first time she had called him that, so she pretended to be relaxed and said casually, "Since you know my name, why can't I know yours?"

As a result, the next second, Adela was no longer proud.

"No, you're wrong. My name is 'Banning', not 'Benny'."

At this moment, Adela really wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

She is really pretending to be so cool that she has gone down the drain.

"Ah, yes, Banning, hahaha."

Adela laughed awkwardly twice, then quickly changed the subject: "Well, do you agree with my plan?"

Fortunately, Banning didn't care about calling the wrong name and continued talking directly along the lines of Adela's topic.

"Whether I agree or not depends on your strength first... If you're just a burden, I might as well fight alone."

In the past, Adela would have been furious if she heard someone call her a burden, but now, she incredibly understood it as: Benning was worried that she would be hurt after participating in the battle.

Now in Adela's subconscious mind, she has automatically transformed all of Banning's seemingly ruthless words and deeds into secretly considering her.

"Then I'll let you see my strength."

Adela patted her chest confidently, indicating that she still had a lot of room for improvement, and then began to demonstrate her strength.

·

It's said to be a display of strength, but in fact it's a description of skills.

Since Adela's skills all require vitality to activate, she was reluctant to use them just for show.

Jiang Ran didn't care about it, because if it was a lie, he would be able to see through it at a glance.

Adela first introduced the two skills, "Septic Blood Flying Blade" and "Septic Blood Dummy", and Jiang Ran listened without any ripple.

Jiang Ran even understood some numerical details, such as basic damage formulas, better than Adela herself.

Adela originally thought that these two signature skills were enough to prove her strength, but she didn't expect that Benning had no reaction after hearing it. Then she could only pin her hopes on the third skill.
