Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

At that time, Jiang Ran agreed to help the old man, but there was no formal commitment ceremony. He just casually "said it casually" and "agreed casually".

But even so, the words between Jiang Ran and the old man were considered by the "God of Faith and Loyalty, Feias" as a promise, which led to what happened later.

Therefore, Jiang Ran believed that all language behaviors in daily life and battles, as long as they contained agreed-upon content, would be considered promises. The rest would depend on the intensity and type of rewards and punishments from the "God of Faith and Loyalty, Fias."

If used properly, Jiang Ran might be able to win the battle with just his words and take the enemy's head without bloodshed.

(No...wait, if that's the case, this might be a bit troublesome...)

It was a little late that Jiang Ran realized that this inherent ability of "keeping a promise" seemed to be a trap for him.

If Jiang Ran had to fulfill all the promises he made, then he wouldn't be able to lie, let alone win over new girls!

Can we not have this ability of "keeping a promise worth a thousand gold"?

(Stupid Loli: Hahahaha! This is so funny! Hahahaha!)

The stupid loli laughed heartily, taking advantage of the situation. Jiang Ran felt so relieved by her heartless laughter that he wanted to dig the stupid loli out of his head, crush her into a ball, and then kick her out.

However, thanks to the silly loli's crazy laughter, Jiang Ran's thoughts turned back.

The silly loli's laughter undoubtedly showed her poor intelligence. Jiang Ran was too lazy to remind her that they shared a common destiny. Laughing at Jiang Ran was equivalent to laughing at the silly loli herself.

Then, after complaining about the stupid loli, Jiang Ran calmed down. He suddenly felt that the impact of this "promise worth a thousand gold" might not be that great. It mainly depends on how he uses it and how he uses language skills to avoid punishment.

As the saying goes, there are no wrong tools, only wrong ways of using them.

So in a nutshell, we have to wait until Jiang Ran has experimented with various situations, and then judge based on the observed results whether the inherent ability "A Promise Worth a Thousand Gold" is a "pitfall" or a "magic skill".

It is too early to draw conclusions now.

After some hard work, Jiang Ran finally did everything he needed to do in the trial space.

The leader's corpse has been dissected, and the reward for passing the trial has been collected. However, it is not yet time to leave the trial gate, because the trial space still has one last use for Jiang Ran, which is to use it for cultivation.

As mentioned before, the flow of time in the trial space is slower than in the outside world, so the time utilization efficiency here is higher.

Seeing that there was still a three-hour countdown on the trial gate, Jiang Ran decided to use up 40,000 to 50,000 of the more than 60,000 magic points here before going out.

Accelerated by his inherent ability "Building a Tower from Accumulating Sand", Jiang Ran, who had superimposed several layers of "Practice Blessing" states, began to release skills everywhere in the trial space.

This time, he mainly focused on the skill "Shadow Prison Space" and finally successfully upgraded it to level 10. In addition to the improvement of skill damage, he also comprehended the first suffix of this skill: Fear Impression.

The effect of the "Suffix Term: Impression of Fear" is that during the last second of the existence of the Shadow Prison Space, an additional 1000 magic points will be paid to add a layer of "Impression of Fear" abnormal status to all targets damaged by the Shadow Prison Space.

Targets that have acquired the "Fear Impression" abnormal state will have their damage to Jiang Ran reduced by 60% for the next 30 seconds.

·

Judging from the effect of the affix alone, this is a standard improvement, but Jiang Ran immediately thought of the use of "Shadow Behind·Shift" which can also reduce the damage by 20% (note: it is actually transferred to the shadow clone), so the total damage can be reduced by 44%, nearly half!

Although Jiang Ran didn't plan to take the reckless tank route, it would certainly be best if he had an option other than dodging at a critical moment - especially when encountering an unavoidable skill like this time.

So overall, Jiang Ran gained quite well from this challenge trial, but he did not get carried away and still maintained a cautious attitude.

After all, he had no idea about the upcoming trip to Yanji City (to meet his parents).

(The favorable factor is that Lord Feiqi seems to be trapped in the werewolf royal territory, while the unfavorable factor is that Elder Honghei is most likely guarding Yanji City... I wonder if there are any stronger guys than Elder Honghei in Yanji City.)

With an uneasy heart, Jiang Ran walked into the purple trial gate and ended this trial journey.

[Confession death countdown remaining: 25 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

At the same time, in the relatively prosperous main city of the Cat People, "Kaicheng":

The muscular cat-man, the Lord of Kaicheng;

The leader of the cat-man guard with white hair and a long beard;

The leader of the cat-man merchant group wearing a monocle;

There are also the ten old and frail cat-men elders;

All of these prominent figures in the cat-people tribe have gathered in the mansion of the cat-people lord, and are holding an important meeting chaired by the cat-people lord Lordesin, which concerns the fate of the cat-people tribe.

They will use this meeting to decide whether to send the secret cat ninja unit "Cicada" to collect information about the "Messenger of the Underworld".

"Krocausin, there won't be any problems with your investigation report, right?"

As the managers of the "Cicada Bearer", the ten cat-people elders questioned the root of this issue right from the start. These old guys who always took the "Cicada Bearer" as their capital of pride had never taken the Cat-people Guard Corps, especially the Cat Ninja Hidden Team under the Cat-people Guard Corps, seriously.

The leader of the Cat Guard, Krokosin, is of the same age as the Ten Cat Elders and they have been at odds for a long time. However, this time the one who wants to affect the interests of the Ten Cat Elders is not him, but the Cat Lord Lordesin who has formed an alliance with him.

So, before Krokosin could answer, the Cat Lord stepped forward and spoke.

"Ten elders, the report submitted by the Cat Guard has been read not only by me but also by everyone here. You are the only ones who have doubts about the report's results... I don't think you want to have a majority vote, right?" said the Cat Lord Lordesin with a smile.

9.51 - The Cat People's Decision

The words of the catman lord Lordesin hit the soft spot of the ten catman elders.

Although they hold a highly respected position in the power system of the cat people, in terms of power level, they are at the same level as the Cat Guard Corps, the Cat Chamber of Commerce, and the Lord of Kai City.

[Note: For easier distinction and memorization, the Cat People Merchant Group has been changed to the Cat People Chamber of Commerce, and will not be further mentioned.]

Therefore, if a majority vote is held, it will undoubtedly only make the ten cat-people elders lose face. Moreover, since the cat-people lord Lordesin dared to directly refute their face, it means that the investigation results of the Cat Ninja Hidden Team are indeed not groundless.

"Since the Lord has said so, we will of course choose to believe this report."

Oldesin, the leader of the ten cat elders, changed his attitude decisively. This silver-haired cat elder, who was already in his seventies, had a cunning gleam in his eyes.

At this time, the commander of the guard regiment, Krokosin, finally found an opportunity to interrupt. He did not intend to pay back the debt that had just been looked down upon overnight.

"Hehe, Oldesin, don't make excuses like that. If you don't believe me, you can just have 'Cicada' investigate again, meow. But in my opinion, your 'Cicada' is just so-so. Compared to the legendary 'Shinya Liuque', I don't know where it'll end up."

The old captain Krokosin was enjoying himself mocking others, and he even accidentally said the word "meow" in a formal occasion. You know, restraining yourself from saying "meow" is the basic etiquette of cat-people aristocrats.

After the old leader Krokosin made such a sarcastic remark, some of the ten cat elders immediately became restless.

"Krokosin, you're destroying your own morale and boosting the enemy's prestige! Don't you know what organization 'Zhaoye Liuque' is? How can you bring it up in a situation like this? Old man, no one will think you're dumb if you can't speak!"

"Alright, alright, does what you're saying have anything to do with today's topic? If anyone says something irrelevant again, I'll ask them to leave."

Seeing that everyone's words were becoming heated, Lord Lordesin used his loud voice to curb the uneasy atmosphere in time.

Then, he briefly explained the main points of the meeting, bringing everyone's thoughts back to the decision-making issue.

·

Lord Lordsin said that as of yesterday, the Cat Ninja Hidden Team had discovered two important scenes, one was a Caesar's Horned Viper killed by the Blue Flame, and the other was five Giant Rock Iron Snails that were also injured and killed by the Blue Flame.

According to the investigation, in the past three months, all the intelligence ports of the Cat People have not found any monsters or humans who can use blue flames near the territory of the Cat People. Therefore, Lord Lordesin believes that it is safe to speculate that perhaps the "messenger of the underworld" in the "ancient rumors"... has really appeared.

"My fellow countrymen, if we can pass the 'Test of the Underworld Messenger,' then the Cat People will be able to turn things around! We will completely say goodbye to our last-place position among the five sub-human races!"

Speaking of this, Lord Lordesin's expression became excited, and his golden cat ears and tail seemed to glow at this time, attracting the attention of all the cat nobles firmly on himself.

However, despite their concern, the nobles present, representing the various forces of the cat people, all had their own ideas.

The Lord of Kaicheng has no idea what she wants. The most important thing to her is the prosperity of Kaicheng. So she will decide whether to stand on the side of Lord Lordsin based on the interests of Kaicheng.

As for the old captain, Krokosin, there was no need to say much. This morning's meeting was all the result of his overnight discussions with Lord Lordsin.

The Catmen Chamber of Commerce president, wearing a monocle, was currently observing Lord Lordsin with a calculating gaze. Whether the Underworld Messenger actually existed, or whether the Catmen could pass the test, was unimportant to the Chamber of Commerce president. The only thing that mattered was whether this information and action plan could bring business opportunities to the Chamber of Commerce.

As for the ten cat-people elders, they are not as united as they seem. Some cat-people elders are willing to lend the "Cicada" to Lord Lordesin, wanting to try and see if they can see the cat-people regain glory in their lifetime. However, due to issues of interests and responsibilities, they dare not go against their own organization.

Finally, after Lord Lordesin's impassioned speech, the meeting came to the final voting stage.

As the initiator of the issue, Lordesin not only vowed to bear the economic losses caused by the requisition of the "Cicada" (if the matter of the Hades Messenger was false), but also gambled his right to vote for the next term. This made the wavering Lord of Kaicheng and the President of the Chamber of Commerce stand on his side. Coupled with the unsurprising vote of the old leader Krokosin, the votes of the ten cat elders seemed insignificant.

However, if the ten cat elders strongly oppose it, they still have the power of veto, and as a price, they will lose the right to vote on the next three issues.

Now, the cat nobles present were waiting to see whether the ten cat elders would exercise their veto power.

The ten cat-people elders exchanged glances with each other, and then the final decision was made by their leader, the silver-haired old man, Oldesin.

"Since this is everyone's idea, let us all bet on the future of the cat people."

Even if he admitted his mistake and agreed, this cunning old cat man did not forget to fight for the empathy of the Ten Elders' organization.

Everyone present knew that this proposal was a sure win for the Ten Cat Elders.

"Hahahaha, great! Since the ten elders have approved the proposal, the one-month requisition period for the 'Cicada Bearer' will officially begin tomorrow! And everyone, please don't forget that this is a top-level confidentiality operation."

Lord Lordesin announced the results of the meeting in a casual and enthusiastic manner, and immediately began to arrange work while the iron was hot.

"Ten elders, please go and communicate with the 'client' of 'Cicada'."

"Captain Krokosin, the command and dispatch of the Cicada is now in your hands."

"President Komoshasin, the Guards have extra military supply orders, and I need your help in finding a good and affordable supplier."

"Lord Xierxin, as for any work that requires Kaicheng's cooperation and coordination, I will leave it all to your discretion."

Lord Lordesin spoke very quickly. If someone who didn't know the situation saw this, they would probably admire him for being able to arrange so many things so quickly.

As for the nobles who were already very familiar with him, they all knew in their hearts that Lord Lordesin must have thought of these arrangements long ago, and the passage of this proposal today was a must for him.

However, the cat people, who are full of fighting spirit, do not know at this time that they are about to face a future that is completely different from what they expected.

[Confession death countdown remaining: 25 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

On the border of the Kingdom of Wester, in the desert near the town of Frontier, Jiang Ran had just walked out of the purple trial gate.

As he expected, there was no one around, which allowed him to keep the secret of having passed the Purple Trial.

As a reward for passing the trial, Jiang Ran received a universal ore. Combined with the confession points from Ice Star Shirley that he had received in the werewolf territory, he can now use the ability to "foresee the future of death" twice.

Considering that there are still many uncertainties in this trip to Yanji City, Jiang Ran decided to use one of the opportunities first.

9.52 - Death is Inescapable (Part )

The last time Jiang Ran used "Foreseeing the Future of Death", he saw himself being killed by Wei'er, Viviana, Emilia and Vanessa.

However, the four of them were not the real murderers. The one who really killed Jiang Ran was a time traveler from another Earth world hiding behind them. Jiang Ran temporarily named him "Stone Ghost Face".

Considering that he is probably not a match for Stone Mask at the moment, Jiang Ran's way of dealing with this death crisis is to avoid fighting and stay away from the girls he had conquered before.

Now, it is August 8th, and there are only 30 days left until the death date of September 9th set by "Foreseeing the Future of Death". It is time for Jiang Ran to confirm whether his response strategy is effective.

(Super-dimensional God's Eye: Foreseeing the Future of Death)

[Experience: 2+1↑ / 8]

·

This time, using the ability to foresee future death was the most extravagant thing Jiang Ran did since he came to the Prison Star World, because after using up the ability, he still had a universal stone to deal with emergencies.

However, the result of this prediction was also the worst among all the times he predicted the future of death, because compared with the last time he predicted the future of death, Jiang Ran only lived two more days.

Yes, the date of death this time was September 9, and the people who "directly killed" Jiang Ran, judging by the content of the death scene, were still the four of them: Wei'er, Viviana, Emilia, and Vanessa.

(What's going on...? Why is the future barely changing?)

Jiang Ran looked at the scene of his future death and couldn't help but frown.
