Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

In terms of benefits, the werewolf royal family has nothing that can make the Green Lizard Family take risks;

As for potential threats, the werewolf royal family has nothing that can arouse the deep hatred of the Green Lizard Family;

Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for Jiang Ran to mobilize the armed forces of the Green Lizard Family... Fortunately, he still had the knowledge of psychology to find another way.

(Stupid Lolita: As expected of you, Jiang Yan, you can make the evil ways sound so good.)

(Jiang Ran: Thank you for the compliment. I’m still a long way from here.)

Jiang Ran is indeed still far from being a real evil person, because he has a bottom line, and he has no intention of claiming to be a "righteous person". In his own cognition, he is just an "ordinary" person, an ordinary person who only acts for his own interests.

Even though he didn't want to disappoint his parents, he didn't think it had anything to do with what people call "filial piety" or "selflessness". He just didn't want to make his heart feel bad.

Now, in order to mobilize the power of the Green Lizard Family, Jiang Ran has come up with a solution. This solution may achieve his goal, but it will also damage the interests of related and unrelated people.

Jiang Ran has also made corresponding preparations for this.

·

·

In order to carry out the third phase of the plan, Jiang Ran needs to go to another town, any town will do.

This time he didn't need Vanessa's help, because after changing the route last time, they would definitely pass through another town next.

All Jiang Ran needed to do was to make some special preparations before arriving in the town.

As for tonight, since it was late at night, Jiang Ran and his group chose to camp in the suburbs for the night.

There were six scouts in charge of keeping watch at night. Jiang Ran, who was used to working the night shift, felt a little uncomfortable with this treatment for a while.

(It would be nice to have a good sleep, as this would be a good way to restore my magic power.)

Jiang Ran opened his single tent and prepared to have a good sleep, but after seeing the "situation" in the tent, he silently closed the tent again, turned around and went into Vanessa's tent to sleep.

Don't get me wrong, this is not because Jiang Ran has any improper thoughts, but because he saw Vanessa already sleeping in his tent, so he looked for another place.

As for why Vanessa was in his tent, Jiang Ran knew the reason - this girl who worked hard at everything she did was trying to create ambiguity between the two of them in this way.

It was a pity that she was so tired after running around for days that she fell asleep before her Lord Feike came into the tent. She was lying in ambush in advance.

(Vanessa, Vanessa... Haven't you considered that even if the two elders didn't see it with their own eyes, they could still sense something was wrong based on the aura?)

Thinking of Vanessa's sudden bold behavior, Jiang Ran couldn't help but sigh for this "Dragon Shadow Assistant".

Their four single tents were lined up in a row, with Jiang Ran and Vanessa in the middle, and two elders on the left and right sides, with the distance between them no more than two meters - under such circumstances, Vanessa was still testing the edge of death, which really made Jiang Ran see another side of Vanessa besides her calmness and composure.

(I guess Mrs. Theresa instilled some strange ideas in her...)

(That Elder Lexian is very caring towards Vanessa. I can’t let him target me at this critical moment.)

·

Jiang Ran's guess was correct. Vanessa had indeed learned a lot of knowledge from her mother that would be banned once written down.

That night, Vanessa sneaked into Lord Fig's tent with the intention of making the matter a fait accompli... and then nothing happened.

The next morning, when Vanessa woke up after a good sleep, she realized what a stupid thing she had done, but she would not be discouraged and give up.

One failure is nothing. On this journey to the territory of the werewolf royal family, she will definitely find an opportunity to make Lord Feike fall at her feet!

——(Mother, I will not waste the 'Thirty-Six Ways to Slay a Man' you taught me!)

[Confession death countdown remaining: 18 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

Jiang Ran was shocked by Vanessa's inner thoughts early in the morning.

Thirty-six Ways to Kill a Man, if possible, he really wanted to discuss it with Madam Theresa, and then transform her unique skills into the Thirty-six Ways to Kill a Woman.

Ever since coming to the Prison Star World, Jiang Ran's spirit has been somewhat overwhelmed by the high frequency and density of the girl's pursuit.

He now really wants to absorb some new knowledge and new methodologies to enrich his ability to capture different types of girls.

Unfortunately, it is definitely not feasible to discuss it with Mrs. Theresa, so Jiang Ran can only use himself as a test field, letting Vanessa use all the so-called "36 Ways to Behead Men" on himself, so that he can take the opportunity to "steal the skills".

(Stupid Loli: Jiang Yan, are you sure this isn't a reward for yourself?)

(Jiang Ran: You think things are too simple. This happened right under the noses of two sixth-rank elders.)

Jiang Ran refuted the stupid loli seriously, but what he really thought was that after spending a few months together, the stupid loli's ability to complain was getting sharper and sharper.

This stupid loli has no useful skills and only develops these useless parts.

Let's get back to the topic and put Vanessa's matter aside for now. Jiang Ran and the Snow Deer family's team traveled through mountains and rivers for most of the day and finally arrived at another town where he could carry out the "third phase of the plan."

In this town, Jiang Ran and Vanessa followed the same method as last time, avoiding the surveillance of the two elders and scouts, and used the "Trickster: Word Spirit" to turn the low-level townspeople into their own tools.

By the way, as to why the townspeople obeyed his orders, Jiang Ran explained to Vanessa that these people were informants he had arranged in advance, waiting here early in the morning to carry out tasks for him.

Under the influence of the "Trickster" skill, Vanessa did not become suspicious after hearing this outrageous explanation. Instead, she admired her own Dragon Shadow even more.

Although Vanessa had no idea how she would deal with the werewolf royal family in the current situation, she could already trust her "Lord Fike" without any reason.

On the contrary, Jiang Ran himself still had some concerns about the effectiveness of the three plans that had been implemented.

(Will it go smoothly?...)

Watching the store manager distribute the "letters" to the store clerks and then ask them to deliver them to the "pigeon booth", Jiang Ran was wondering whether it was necessary to use the universal rough stone on hand.

This is his only chance left to confirm his future.

8.178 - Phase of the Plan

The core concept of Jiang Ran’s third phase plan is the “herd mentality effect”.

"Herd mentality" is a widely known psychological concept. Many people know that they should not blindly follow the crowd and should have their own judgment when doing things. But even so, people often fall into the trap of "herd mentality" without being careful.

There is no way around it, the "herd mentality" is so pervasive, because "herd mentality" can even be said to be a mentality that will sooner or later become human nature, and the older you are, the stronger the effect.

The power of "herd mentality" can be well demonstrated by a phrase that most people are familiar with, which is "the minority obeys the majority."

Looking at all the affairs in the world, big and small, once there is a disagreement, the solution is most likely to be to listen to the majority opinion. This will subtly implant an idea in everyone's mind: listening to the majority is likely to be right.

Or in other words, at least "following the majority opinion" will make you feel better when you fail, because it is "everyone's" fault.

Before arriving in the town this time, Jiang Ran prepared some special letters. The content of each letter was different, but in summary they all conveyed the same thing: the Snow Deer family was cooperating with the Feiqi family, and the purpose of the cooperation was to attack the werewolf royal family to gain more powerful strength.

In order to increase the credibility of these letters, Jiang Ran deliberately wrote the contents very obscurely, and with the help of Vanessa's knowledge, added the seal of the Snow Deer family and wax seal to the letters.

Afterwards, he used the "Trickster Word Spirit" to control the people in the town to distribute these letters using carrier pigeons. Although the pigeons flew to different destinations, they all passed through the territory of the Green Lizard Family.

Jiang Ran believed that given the secret competition among the five major families, intercepting some communication pigeons was a very routine operation, and then this information could be passed on to the ears of the Green Lizard Lord.

Humans are animals that instinctively doubt information provided by others, but they will generally accept information obtained through "illegal means" without any precautions.

So, given the current position of the Bilisha family, what will they think after learning about the false information fabricated by Jiang Ran?

Would they think that the Snow Deer Family, which had clearly formed an alliance with the Green Lizard Family, was secretly seeking cooperation with the Feiqi Family, hoping to have the best of both worlds?

Do they think that since the Snow Deer Family and the Scarlet Qi Family are going to take advantage of the werewolf royal family, then their Green Lizard Family must not be left behind?

Yes, that’s right, this is the core concept of Jiang Ran’s third phase plan: the “herd mentality effect”, and it’s an upgraded version.

·

Some people may think that the herd mentality is something that only people who have no opinions of their own will have, and that anyone with opinions and abilities will only make the final decision based on his or her own judgment.

Yes, this view is not wrong. Therefore, based on the "herd mentality", a concept called "virtuous psychology" has been derived.

Take Lord Green Lizard as an example. An outstanding person like him who holds a high position of power would certainly not care about what the general public thinks, but he cannot ignore those he approves of.

In the Kingdom of West, although the strength of the five major families varies, the difference is not big, and there is no distinction between high and low in many areas.

Under such circumstances, the lords of the other four families are naturally the ones recognized by Lord Green Lizard and are potential competitors that he thinks about every day.

In the Green Lizard Lord's subconscious mind, he must have assumed that these competitors would not do stupid things, so when one or even multiple competitors are doing the same thing, the "temptation" is extremely huge.

Jiang Ran and his team are now very close to the Farnas Empire. The Feiqi family will probably start to act soon. However, the Bixi family, the last one to get the "news", will not have time to investigate before deciding whether to take action.

When the "pressure of time" and the "fear of falling behind competitors" weighed heavily on Lord Green Lizard's shoulders, Jiang Ran believed that Lord Green Lizard would definitely not be able to resist sending some people to the Werewolf Royal Family's territory to check out the situation.

As long as the Green Lizard Lord takes the first step, it will not be difficult for him to take a bigger step.

·

"Lord Feike, will the Bilishi family take the bait?"

Vanessa and Lord Fige walked on the streets of the town. According to the itinerary, they still had half an hour to stroll around the town.

"They'll take the bait. They already have the core motivation to send troops. All that's left is a 'reason' to do so."

Lord Fike said this and took Vanessa into a weapons and equipment store.

"Yes, without a good reason, they can only send a small number of people to infiltrate the Farnas Empire, which will not be very effective."

Vanessa frowned. She felt that this problem was not easy to solve at all.

While she was racking her brains, Lord Fike had already bought three sets of blade claws and two sets of wolf-fur waistcoats.

Looking at the equipment purchased by Lord Fige, Vanessa was a little confused at first, but after she figured it out, she suddenly had an epiphany.

However, it would have been better if she didn't understand. After guessing Lord Fig's intention, Vanessa became even more panicked.

"Master Feike... this is bad, isn't it? What if they find out it was us who did it? Then... and with two elders watching us, it would be difficult for us to escape and take action...!"

In Vanessa's opinion, what Lord Figo was going to do next was really thrilling. However, in the face of her concerns, Lord Figo seemed very calm.

"Don't worry, I've already thought of solutions to the problems you've considered."

With just a few simple words, Vanessa's uneasiness was miraculously alleviated.

At this time, she had not yet realized that the look she gave Lord Fei Ke was already filled with respect and trust, and this look also quietly influenced Elder Le Xian's view of the young Fei Ke.

·

After leaving the town, the special team of the Snow Deer family continued to advance towards the Farnas Empire.

Next, they will pass by the town of Dris in the territory of the Green Lizard Family, but will not enter Dris Town.

What was very "coincidental" was that when Vanessa and her friends arrived in that area, the team sent by the Green Lizard Family had just completed the support mission in Dris Town and was preparing to go back.

There were elders in both teams, and they were aware of each other's presence, but they each did their own thing in tacit understanding, and there was no intersection between them.

However, just as the two teams were moving further away, the Green Lizard Family's troops were suddenly attacked at night by an unknown force. Several weaker soldiers were slightly injured, and the attackers were not captured.

Afterwards, the Green Lizard Family troops deduced from the condition of the injured that the attacker might be a humanoid monster using claws. Later, they found fallen wolf hair at the crime scene. The two clues combined, and considering that their mission was to expel the werewolves from the town of Driss, the identity of the attacker was about to be revealed.

The soldiers were furious, but the two instructors who commanded the troops were laughing in their hearts.

Regardless of the truth, the Green Lizard Lord now has the "reason" he needs.

8.179 - Elder Lexian's Abacus

October 187, 8

〖10:37 pm〗

[Confession death countdown remaining: 15 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

Taking advantage of the dim night tonight, Jiang Ran completed the last part of the third phase plan.

Although the presence of the two elders made the operation more difficult, the skill "Shadow Behind" now had a range of up to 30 meters, allowing Jiang Ran to successfully send out the shadow clone.

After the shadow clones were generated, they were equipped with claw blades and wolf-fur vests that Jiang Ran had prepared for them in advance. The 35-second existence time was enough for them to catch up with the Green Lizard Family's troops and create some movement.

Since the Green Lizard Lord did not send any decent troops this time out of selfish motives, the shadow clones completed the harassment mission quite smoothly and destroyed and hid the weapons and equipment before disappearing.

At this point, Jiang Ran believed that the Green Lizard Family would not miss the upcoming "grand celebration" in the werewolf royal territory. All the external forces that he could "guide and control" in a short period of time were now gathered here.
