Then, the second basis is the distance cost. According to the information from "Zhao Ye Liuque", the current seclusion of the Dark Rabbit Clan is far between the Mana Republic and the Vanya Emirate. The journey there alone takes more than 9 days. However, because of the magical passage of the "Millennium Cicada Monkey" between Mel Town and Sunny Town, Jiang Ran will be able to return to the town tonight.
In such a comparison, it is clear which is more important when facing the deadline.
(Stupid Loli: I thought you had forgotten about this matter, Jiang Yan.)
(Jiang Ran: How could I forget? This is your "Good God"'s" bad taste, isn't it?)
Jiang Ran rarely mentioned the "Good God" in the conversation with the stupid loli, which made the stupid loli silent for a while.
After a few seconds, the silly loli finally spoke up, but she didn't continue the topic about the "good god". Instead, she brought the conversation back to the content of the confession death countdown.
(Stupid Loli: Then... then which girl are you going to harm this time? Could it be that Shiiki Ruri?)
(Jiang Ran: Stupid Loli, if your head isn't just for decoration, then you could try to think about it. Is it feasible to capture Shiiki Ruri in nine days?)
Jiang Ran noticed that the stupid loli deliberately ignored the matter of the "Good God", but he did not intend to pursue it relentlessly, because this matter still needed long-term consideration.
As a small revenge, he took the opportunity to mock the stupid loli, but when he said that he didn't plan to pursue Shiiki Ruri, he had indeed made up his mind.
(Stupid Loli: Eh? Eh? Aren’t you planning on capturing Shiiki Ruri? I actually quite like this little cat girl!)
When the silly loli heard Jiang Ran say that, she immediately exploded. What made her even angrier was that Jiang Ran ignored her after he said that, leaving her alone to mess around there. She had no idea what Jiang Ran was going to do next.
9.164 - Out with the old and in with the new
Jiang Ran deliberately didn't answer the stupid loli.
Bullying this stupid loli from time to time is good for Jiang Ran's own physical and mental health.
As for how to solve the problem of "confession death countdown", Jiang Ran already had a plan in mind, otherwise he would not have chosen to return to the Kingdom of West so decisively.
·
Jiang Ran was concentrating on getting on his way, and the silly loli was also concentrating on making a noise.
The silly loli was unusually persistent this time, and kept begging Jiang Ran to tell her who he was going to capture next.
Finally, after coming out of the abdominal cavity of the "Millennium Cicada Monkey", Jiang Ran finally couldn't stand the stupid loli's repeated harassment and crying on the way to Mel Town, so he had to give her a little hint.
(Jiang Ran: Okay, stop arguing, stupid loli...)
Jiang Ran sighed. He didn't want this guy to know the next plan so early.
For a student, it is often not a good idea to know the answer directly. Only by analyzing the answer by oneself can one truly master the skills.
So, the stupid loli will probably continue to be stupid.
(Jiang Ran: Silly Loli, since you want to know my plans, then answer me a question first... How many people do you think a person will fall in love with in their lifetime?)
(Stupid Loli: Eh? Um... Let me think about it...)
The question Jiang Ran asked the stupid loli was not only a question, but also the core logic behind his change of strategy this time.
In fact, until Jiang Ran started thinking about how to get the next confession point, he had implicitly decided to continue using the previous strategy. However, after careful consideration, Jiang Ran suddenly realized that he could no longer continue to jump into the "fire pit".
(Stupid Loli: Ahem, uh, that's... Regarding the question you just asked, although I am a staunch true love party and hate vagrants, I have to answer you, a person should love more than one person in his life...)
After hesitating for most of the day, the silly loli finally gave an answer, and her answer was exactly what Jiang Ran wanted to hear.
·
Yes, no matter how beautiful and desirable "faithful love" is, in reality, it is difficult for most people to be with the first person they like, let alone stay together for life.
·
Therefore, "a person will not like only one person in his life" is the fundamental argument for Jiang Ran's change this time, and it is also the starting point for his decision to "abandon his conscience."
In many previous strategies, although Jiang Ran claimed to be a rational and profit-oriented person, in the end he was often unable to sever his relationship with the girls, which eventually led to him having a bunch of girls behind him, and even gave the enemy the opportunity to use the girls to assassinate Jiang Ran.
Based on this question, Jiang Ran re-analyzed "Soul Curse: Purgatory of the Heartless", and then he realized belatedly that this was actually a "fire pit" that would kill him.
·
When Jiang Ran realized this problem, he felt very guilty.
He had only just discovered such an obvious problem. He felt ashamed of such a low-level mistake, and he would not use excuses like "I was busy with other things and therefore neglected it" to excuse himself.
The reason why Jiang Ran reclassified "Soul Curse: Purgatory of the Heartless" as a "fire pit" that would kill him was because if he continued to pursue the girl in the current way, within half a year, Jiang Ran's debt of love would be higher than the grass on his grave.
He has to conquer one girl every 30 days. If this curse is applied to a year, that means he has to conquer 12 girls. In actual practice, it is impossible for Jiang Ran to complete it in exactly 30 days every time, so the actual number of girls must be more than 12.
Taking Jiang Ran's current situation as an example, he traveled to the Prison Star World on May 5th, and today is September 5th. In the past four months, how many girls has he conquered? Obviously, the number "9" cannot cover it.
Therefore, if Jiang Ran continues to pursue the girl in this shortsighted manner, he will sooner or later fall into an uncontrollable situation.
·
It's time to stop this kind of behavior of the girl who is harmful to others and herself - Jiang Ran judged it this way.
·
Based on this conclusion, Jiang Ran decided to give up on conquering the cat-man girl, Shiiki Ruri.
The high difficulty of the strategy and the lack of time are secondary reasons. The really important reason is that Shiiki Ruri is not an ordinary person.
Whether it was reaching level 19 of the fourth stage at the age of 140, or holding the high position of branch leader of the secret intelligence organization "Teruya Ryuja", Shiiki Ruri was a rare talent among the crowd.
What would happen if Jiang Ran conquered Shiiki Ruri and then rejected her as he did with other girls before?
The figure of a person immediately emerged in Jiang Ran's mind. This person was Viviana Feiqi.
·
Due to various entanglements, it is now difficult for Jiang Ran to completely break off his relationship with Viviana. And if Shiiki Ruri also likes Jiang Ran, then with her strength and status, she will definitely not let Jiang Ran go easily.
Therefore, Jiang Ran cannot afford to offend a girl like Shiiki Ruri. His ideal target now should be an ordinary passerby girl, an ordinary person with whom he can completely separate and never see each other again after rejecting her.
(Jiang Ran: You’re right, silly Lolita. A person won’t love only one person in their lifetime, so from now on I’m going to be a pure villain.)
Jiang Ran said this to the stupid loli, but also to himself.
Being indecisive and unable to make decisions will only hurt others and yourself.
Unfortunately, the stupid loli had a poor understanding and failed to understand the subtext of Jiang Ran's words. She also used her colored brain to misunderstand Jiang Ran's determination.
(Stupid Loli: Eh? Bad, bad guy? What do you mean? W-What are you going to do? Are you not satisfied with playing with girls' feelings, you w-you w-want to play with their bodies too?!)
The silly loli's irrelevant questioning made Jiang Ran smile bitterly. Only this little fool could make Jiang Ran laugh while he was thinking so seriously.
(Jiang Ran: Oh, silly little girl, don’t ever tell anyone that I taught you psychology when you go out. Never, it’s too embarrassing for me.)
Jiang Ran put away his heavy mood, changed to a light-hearted tone and began to bully the stupid loli. Then, in such a one-sided happy atmosphere, the "Frost Knight Stan" arrived at the town of Mel in the territory of the Green Lizard Family of the Kingdom of West for the "first time".
Over the next few days, this small town, famous for its excellent chefs and gourmets, will become the "hunting ground" of this majestic Frostmail Knight.
9.165 - Newcomers to Mel Town
Although Mel Town is a small town centered around gourmet food, the arrival of "Frost Knight Stan" still caused quite a stir.
Even before the Frostmail Knight arrived, his name had already spread far and wide from the neighboring town of Sunny. Everyone wanted to see whether this knight, who was said to possess "the power of a bitter winter," was truly capable or just a show-off.
If he was just a guy who was showing off his reputation, Mel Town would definitely make him come in upright and leave horizontally - because the chefs' knives are not only good at handling ingredients, but also good at handling troublemakers who come to Mel Town.
However, the chefs' knives seemed useless this time, because as soon as the Frost Armor Knight appeared, he immediately conquered all the witnesses with his aura.
Whether they were skilled fighters or ordinary people without combat vocations, everyone felt a biting chill and a sense of intimidation as if their throats were being strangled upon seeing the Frost Knight Stan.
After experiencing this powerful strength firsthand, everyone dispelled their previous doubts and began to warmly welcome this strong man to Mel Town.
Among all the chefs, there is a small group that is particularly excited about the arrival of the Frost Knight because they are the "Monster Chefs".
·
The so-called "Monster Cooks" refer to chefs who specialize in using monster ingredients to cook food. They are not only pioneers in the culinary world of the Prison Star World, but are also considered outliers by most ordinary people.
Due to people's lack of understanding and fear of monsters, both monster meat and other edible materials are usually avoided by everyone.
Monster Cooks, a group of food enthusiasts, broke this inherent concept and constantly found harmless or even beneficial monster ingredients to create a variety of delicious dishes, thus reaching the pinnacle of the culinary field.
The appearance of "Frost Knight Stan" is a blessing for monster cooks.
Although ingredients from more powerful monsters are not necessarily tastier, the larger the range in which you can hunt monsters, the more options you will have when creating dishes.
The Monster Cooks started to get close to the Frost Armor Knight not long after seeing him. Their purpose was very simple, which was to entrust the Frost Armor Knight to help hunt various difficult monsters.
What surprised them was that the rugged-looking Frost Armor Knight actually had keen observation skills. After a few words, he directly told the Monster Cooks that they could ask him for help, but not to come to him one by one.
"You all should go to the Quest Guild to post your commissions. I'll take a look if I have time."
The Frost Knight's words really excited the Monster Cooks. As soon as they heard there was a chance, they immediately set off for the Quest Guild, running as fast as they could, fearing that they would be left behind.
After getting rid of the crowd, the Frost Armor Knight walked straight to a relatively deserted restaurant in Mel Town: Cat Girl Restaurant.
·
The Frost Knight's visit immediately brought business to the Cat Girl Restaurant, which surprised the owner, Shiiki Ruri, who was frowning in the kitchen.
She was so focused on how to revive the food stall that she had no idea about the "Frost Knight" that was currently in the limelight. She was only filled with resentment that she had made a special trip to the "Spiral Underground Library" but failed to find out any information about the "Dark Rabbit Clan".
Without the information about the Dark Rabbit Clan, Shiiki Ruri wouldn't have been able to earn the five gold coins from Mr. Turman.
However, no matter how regretful she is, Shiiki Ruri will not let her emotions affect her work.
As long as there are customers entering the store, we must present the best side of "Cat Girl Restaurant" to the customers!
With the greetings of "Welcome to the Cat Girl Restaurant, meow~ at your service, meow~" rang out one after another, the Cat Girl Restaurant, which was quite deserted ten minutes ago, suddenly became lively.
Shiiki Ruri stuck half of her head out of the food delivery window in the back kitchen to check the situation in the hall. She was quite satisfied with the performance of the cat-people girls who were receiving guests.
"All the waiters are cat girls." This is the biggest feature of the Cat Girl Restaurant.
However, Shiiki Ruri's "satisfaction" did not last long as it was broken by the truth behind the lively scene.
She keenly observed that most of the customers were absent-minded when ordering, not even looking at the menu carefully. Their eyes were really fixed on the heavy knight in full ice armor sitting in the corner of the hall.
·
Shiiki Ruri immediately called a waiter to ask what was going on. After listening to the waiter's explanation, she realized that all the business at the moment was brought by this distinguished guest.
A feeling of unwillingness arose in Shiiki Ruri's heart, but she was very career-oriented and did not let negative emotions control her.
——(Come on, Shiiki Ruri!)
——(Even if today’s customers weren’t coming for the cat girl food stall, at least they were here!)
——(If you miss such a good opportunity, there will be no next time!)
With this self-encouragement, Shiiki Ruri regained her spirits.
She immediately intercepted all the orders brought by the waiter, and then quickly re-optimized the dishes according to the situation of each table of guests, and noted the original prices to ensure that the guests' costs would not be changed due to her arbitrary behavior.
·
Shiiki Ruri did this because she had just noticed that the guests were not paying attention to their orders.
If these "messy" orders are allowed to be passed to the kitchen to be made into dishes, it is very likely that the guests will leave home disappointed.
In order to avoid this situation, Shiiki Ruri would rather suffer a slight loss in sales today than ruin the reputation of the Cat Girl Restaurant.
Then, thanks to Shiiki Ruri's hard work, she finally saw the expressions of surprise on the guests' faces as she wished. Unfortunately, after tasting the dishes, the guests' expressions became calm again, and did not show the kind of "satisfaction" that Shiiki Ruri wanted to see.
——(Damn it, it’s like this again… What’s so bad about our dishes?)
Shiiki Ruri held her forehead in frustration, unable to figure out what was going on.
She walked alone to the warehouse in the back kitchen, hoping to make herself feel better by being alone.
However, not long after Shiiki Ruri sat down, she suddenly saw a gray feather falling from the sky and finally landing in the palm of her hand.
When she raised her head and looked forward, a tall and thin figure was already standing there.
In just a moment, Shiiki Ruri immediately knelt on one knee on the ground and lowered her head to the elusive visitor.
"Meet the Grand Master."
Shiiki Ruri lowered her head very low, because the person standing in front of her was the number one figure of the secret intelligence organization "Teruya Ryuja": Lord Totoduff of the Hawwing.
9.166 - Conversation in the Warehouse
In the warehouse behind the Cat Girl Kitchen, there was a rather strange scene at this moment.
The proprietress, Shiiki Ruri, was kneeling on one knee, and standing in front of her was a tall and thin man wearing a gray-green cloak and a pointed hood on his head.
