"Thank you for saving our family last night! Sir Frostmail Knight!"
The words "there is no village in front and no shop behind" were shouted out from the mouth of the girl in plain clothes.
After shouting, the girl felt relieved, but the Frost Armor Knight who was working on the roof obviously did not keep up with the girl's lively pace and was looking at her speechlessly.
In addition to Lord Frost Armor Knight, the girl's parents and neighbors standing nearby also looked at the girl with strange expressions, until the girl's mother couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then everyone started laughing one after another.
"What are you laughing at...! I just wanted to say thank you first... Humph, you really are such bad people!"
The girl turned away angrily, but a happy smile soon appeared on her face again.
Because no matter what, she finally achieved her wish.
Afterwards, the girl learned from everyone that the Frost Armor Knight had come specifically to help them repair their houses.
Lord Frostmail Knight said that he had unintentionally caused some damage while fighting monsters here last night, and he felt guilty about it. He hoped that everyone could accept his compensation.
Such humble words really moved the poor people here. They didn't expect that the Frost Armor Knight was such a kind and benevolent man.
The poor people living in the suburban slums have always lived a precarious life. Even if monsters appear, the town guards will not come to help them.
Therefore, they were already overjoyed that the Lord Frost Armor Knight passed by and drew his sword to help them last night. Now, the Lord Frost Armor Knight actually lowered himself to help them repair the house, which was something they could not even dream of.
After the girl in plain clothes learned the truth, she sighed in her heart that she had not misjudged the person. It was a pity that there seemed to be nothing she could do except to say thank you.
In addition, the girl didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the Frost Armor Knight she met in the slums this time was not as chilling as the one in Mel Town.
Is this because the girl is already familiar with Lord Frost Armor Knight, or is it... because of Lord Frost Armor Knight's attentiveness and consideration?
`
Before the girl in plain clothes had time to figure out what was going on, it was already noon.
At the cordial invitation of everyone, Lord Frost Armor Knight attended the thank-you banquet they held.
Although the dishes at the thank-you banquet were so shabby that they were hard to come by, for the poor people, this was all they had.
The girl in plain clothes was enjoying this lively time happily but reluctantly. She looked at the Frost Armor Knight who was surrounded by stars from a distance of five or six meters, and her heart began to beat a little.
The girl knew that she and Lord Frost Armor Knight were from two completely different worlds, and she shouldn't have any thoughts about him.
But, in a girl's life, how many opportunities will she have to meet such an outstanding and excellent person who does not discriminate against her?
This opportunity may be the only one in your life.
So, the girl decided to fight. She took advantage of the opportunity when the Frost Armor Knight just turned around, ran over as fast as she could, and hugged the Frost Armor Knight's waist from behind.
Yes, due to the huge height difference, the girl can only hug the Frost Knight's waist. Now the picture looks like a child hugging an adult from behind, playful and warm.
But this is not what the girl wants. What she wants is...
"What's wrong? What's the matter?"
The deep voice of the Lord Frost Knight came from the armor. With just one hand, he easily picked up the cloth-clad girl like a rag doll, and then placed her steadily on the ground in front of him.
Being hugged so securely, the girl blushed immediately. She had originally planned on saying something, but now her mind was blank and she couldn't remember anything.
"Fortunately," although those involved are confused, those who are watching can see things clearly. The neighbors in the slums all saw what the girl in plain clothes was thinking, and then they began to cheer her up one after another.
"Samantha, just speak up!"
"Yeah, Samantha, you'll definitely regret it later if you don't tell me!"
"Samantha! Everyone's rooting for you!"
"..."
Listening to everyone's cheers, the commoner named Samantha was filled with courage once again. She quickly grasped the Frost Knight's hand with both hands, then looked up at his helmet and said seriously...
"Sir Frost Knight, I... I don't have any special skills. I only know some household chores and farm work... If, if, if you don't mind me like this, I... I, I am willing..."
"Haha, kid, stop it, stop it, you can't keep saying that."
Just when Samantha was about to get to the point, the Frost Knight placed his large hand on Samantha's head.
"Your name is Samantha, right? Samantha, listen to me, you're still young and haven't met enough people. If you follow an old man like me, it will be a waste of your youth. So, if you want to say something, wait a few years before saying it."
Lord Frostmail Knight rubbed Samantha's little head as he spoke, and then after he finished speaking, he strode away without waiting for everyone to react.
The neighbors were left standing there in a daze, not knowing how to comfort Samantha.
9.180 - The Third Future Forecast
Jiang Ran left decisively, because only a clean break could cause the girl the least pain.
On the other hand, selfishly speaking, a clean break would also be beneficial to Jiang Ran.
The advantage of doing this is that after being rejected so directly, Samantha will no longer have any thoughts about "Frost Knight Stan" in the future. In this way, the possibility of adding another lingering member to Jiang Ran's "harem team" is avoided.
Get confession points and then never see each other again, this is Jiang Ran’s new strategy.
This seemingly "use it and throw it away" method was something Jiang Ran would never do in the past, because he felt it was too shameless and played with people's hearts.
But now, he felt that it was the right thing to do, because he finally realized that no matter whether he was willing or resisted, as long as he stayed in this Prison Star World, "obtaining confession points" was a curse he could not escape.
Since there is no way to fundamentally stop this shameless behavior, it is better to minimize the pain suffered by the victims.
If we have to make an analogy for Jiang Ran's behavior, it is that when you have to kill someone, at least give the other person a quick death instead of torturing them slowly to death.
(Stupid Loli: Jiang Yan…are you really going to make it big in one fell swoop? It’s only been two days and you’ve already got three confession points! Curse: Purgatory of the Heartless is no longer a threat to you!)
Jiang Ran was unmoved by the silly loli's exclamation. The smooth implementation of the new strategy in the past two days was a natural thing for him.
He would be surprised if the new strategy failed to execute.
After receiving the confession points from the little girl Samantha, Jiang Ran continued to keep the universal gemstone and then used up the confession points.
Next, he will foresee his own future death again to see if his "new ideas" can allow his future self to survive the hands of "Master Zhaoye Liuque" and "Blood-sucking Serpent Orlosk".
[Super-Dimensional Divine Eye·Experience Value: 5+1/8]
·
Jiang Ran's new plan this time broke his previous mindset. He no longer thought about how to fight the two enemies in eight or nine days, but decided to take the initiative.
This seemingly simple change of thinking is probably not something that ordinary people would be able to think of, or at least would not be able to break out of their original mindset so quickly.
The reason why Jiang Ran made this change was because he did not forget the characteristics of his combat profession.
Yes, he is a "Shadow Apostle", a lurker who fights in the shadows, not a berserker who fights the enemy head-on.
After figuring this out, the next plan was easy to formulate.
Jiang Ran had been racking his brains, wondering how to defeat the combined forces of 'Zhaoye Liuque's Chief Hall Master' and 'Bloodthirsty Serpent Orlosk'.
And now this problem is immediately solved under the "sharp sword" of the new plan. He just needs to take the initiative to kill the chief hall master of Zhaoye Liuque first, then the Bloodthirsty Snake will have no teammates to join forces with, right?
When Jiang Ran thought of this, he wanted to applaud his clever brain. If he was to deal with the chief hall master of Zhaoye Liuque alone, the difficulty would be greatly reduced.
Following this line of thought, Jiang Ran continued to enrich the details of the action plan.
He set several goals for himself. One was to find out the whereabouts of the chief master of Zhaoye Liuque, Jiuyiren Tetodaf within four days, and another was to get rid of this guy within seven days and get as much information as possible from him.
So, how can we get the information about the head of this secret intelligence organization? The first clue that Jiang Ran thought of was the owner of the cat girl restaurant, Shiiki Ruri.
·
Jiang Ran had previously decided not to have anything to do with Shiiki Ruri anymore.
However, times have changed and everything can be readjusted according to changes in circumstances, not to mention that we are still in the stage of "simulating the future."
In order to test whether his plan would work, Jiang Ran decided to start with Shiiki Ruri, the "easiest to target", to see if he could use this cat-man girl to accomplish his plan of assassinating the chief leader of Zhaoye Ryuque.
(Super-dimensional divine eye: foreseeing the future of death.)
As Jiang Ran activated his ability, the confession points were immediately consumed, and then the scene of "Death Future" appeared in front of Jiang Ran as usual.
━━━━━━━━━━
Date of death: September 187, 10
Time of death: 11:42 am
Death screen content:
In the horizontally composed picture, Jiang Ran was lying face up in a dense forest covered with thorns.
This future Jiang Ran was wearing a full set of armor as the Frost Knight Stan, but his helmet and part of his gauntlets were missing.
The exposed part of Jiang Ran's body was strangely covered with purple and black totem patterns. These patterns looked like tattoos and swarms of poisonous insects, emitting an evil aura that made one's scalp tingle.
In addition, Jiang Ran also saw that his future self had thick dark circles under his eyes, and his lips had turned an extremely unhealthy purple-black color, as if he had been poisoned.
However, this was almost all the unusual things. Jiang Ran checked it again and again but found no other useful clues.
In other words, in this future scene of death, Jiang Ran only saw the way he died. As for the enemy who killed him, the weapon used by the enemy, and even the specific place of death, he had no idea for the time being.
━━━━━━━━━━
(Stupid Loli: Wow... I've lived for more than half a month this time~ Congratulations, Jiang Yan, you finally broke through the pursuit of Zhao Ye Liu Que and the Bloodthirsty Snake...)
When Silly Loli first saw the date of death, she sincerely congratulated Jiang Ran.
However, after she said this, she quickly realized that it was inappropriate to celebrate like this. After all, Jiang Ran had escaped from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den.
Who would kill Jiang Ran this time, nearly a month later? Could it be someone from the Dark Rabbit clan?
The silly loli still has self-awareness. She only needs to act as an alarm clock, and she can wait for Jiang Ran to explain the remaining difficult problems.
(Jiang Ran: It's too early to congratulate you, silly loli... I was unlucky this time. The future death scene provided too little information to make much of a conclusion. Maybe in this future, I was actually defeated by Zhaoye Liuque's head hall master and fled, then died in this dense forest after running for half a month.)
(Stupid Loli: Eh? No, no way?)
(Jiang Ran: Of course not. Don’t think that living for an extra half month means anything. I’ve escaped before since arriving in the Prison Star World, and more than once.)
While Jiang Ran was warning the stupid loli, he converted the future death scene into a paper picture and saved it.
He originally thought that now that he could obtain a large number of confession points, the next adventure would be much easier, but judging by the current situation...
The dangerous challenge seems to be just beginning.
9.181 - Foresight
What Jiang Ran said to the stupid loli just now seemed a bit pessimistic and exaggerated, but he had no intention of scaring the stupid loli. Everything he said was based on facts.
The ability of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye to "foresee the future of death" has always been indispensable to Jiang Ran.
If it weren't for this extraordinary ability, Jiang Ran would have been burned to death by the pillar of fire that fell from the sky shortly after arriving in the Prison Star World.
However, there is actually a problem with the ability to foresee the future of death. It is just that it has been used too rarely before, so it did not cause any trouble to Jiang Ran.
Now, as Jiang Ran's efficiency in obtaining confession points increases, the flaw in his ability to foresee future death is also exposed. This flaw is that Jiang Ran can only see the result at the moment of future death, but cannot see the entire process during this period.
Although "results" can convey some information, they can also be somewhat misleading.
Take Jiang Ran's latest prediction of the "future death scene" for example. Before using his foresight, he gave himself the following hint:
Get close to the cat-man girl, Shiiki Ruri, and use her to obtain information about "Chief Master Teruya Ryujaku", and then kill this inexplicable guy before "Chief Master Teruya Ryujaku" joins forces with "Blood-sucking Serpent Orlosk" to assassinate him.
Judging from the information in the "Future Death Screen" alone, Jiang Ran could only be sure of the result that "he survived both his death dates on September 9th and September 26th."
As for how this future self survived, it might not be the same as Jiang Ran expected.
Perhaps, this future self did not defeat "Master Teruya Ryujaku," but was defeated and fled, only to be killed by the other party in another way several days later;
Or maybe, his plan to use Shiiki Ruri failed, and instead caused Shiiki Ruri, who could have been pulled into his camp, to side with the head master Teruya Ryukaku, and then let himself die a more miserable death after living a little longer.
So, in short, surviving longer in the "future death screen" this time does not mean that Jiang Ran's new strategy has been successful.
However, he was not blindly pessimistic. Jiang Ran still believed that the new results in this "future death scene" had some merits.
Next, he will temporarily act according to this new strategy, and then continue to verify it after obtaining new confession points.
At least Jiang Ran now knows that as long as he follows the new strategy, he will not die before October 10th.
And this is the most essential "intelligence benefit" that the ability to "foresee the future of death" brings to Jiang Ran.

At noon, on the streets of Mel Town, the Frost Knight Stan, who had hunted monsters and returned with a full load, was still the focus of everyone's attention.
With the large number of commissions he has recently completed from "Monster Chefs", his reputation has become quite influential in the culinary world of Mel Town.
