Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

This doesn't mean that Jiang Ran has entered sage mode or something, it's simply because the last two points of magic power in his inventory are really not enough.

No man wants to experience something like "it's over just as it's begun."

A man can get up early, be smart early, mature early, fall in love early, retire early...but he can't be disdainful early.

"Yeah, let's get some sleep to recover our magic power."

Jiang Ran said this and found a flat piece of ground nearby to lie down.

But the speaker may not have meant it, but the listener may have taken it seriously. When Viviana heard Banning say this, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"sleep……?!"

3.36 - Return to Earth

"Goodnight, Viviana."

Jiang Ran fell asleep after saying this, and Viviana...

--(Um?)

Viviana's head was full of question marks.

——(Could it be... am I overthinking this?)

——(If we're going to sleep separately, why use the misleading phrase "let's sleep for a while"...!)

Viviana was a little angry. Speaking of it, before... before... the kiss, the kiss, after the kiss, this guy didn't say anything. Wasn't it too much?

After all, it was my first kiss!

Now that the monster has been defeated, how can he act as if nothing happened?

The more Viviana thought about it, the angrier she became... She was so angry! But she couldn't do anything to this guy who looked like he was already asleep. She couldn't kill him, could she?

On the battlefield, Viviana has killed countless monsters, but she has never taken a human life.

(No... I can't let him bully me like this...!)

In the silent and rugged cave, in the dim light, Viviana looked down at Banning, frowning slightly, thinking hard... and finally came up with a good idea!

Viviana first crouched down and tiptoed to Banning's side, carefully poking his stomach to see if Banning was really asleep. After confirming, she grabbed two handfuls of black soil from the ground and gently smeared it on Banning's face, giving him a big beard and clown face!

(Hehe! I’ll let you bully me!)

Looking at Banning's face full of "black soil beard", Viviana was very satisfied!

Now, Viviana was finally satisfied. She found a place not too far from Banning, lay down, and fell asleep quickly.

·

·

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ran slowly woke up.

He confirmed through the ability of his divine eyes that he had slept for about three hours and his condition had recovered a little.

━━━━━━━━━━

Vitality 11/100

Stamina 56/88

Magic 128/210

━━━━━━━━━━

Comparing the magic power recovery speed after falling asleep before, Jiang Ran has now basically confirmed the magic power recovery formula:

While sleeping, restore wisdom attribute X2 magic power every hour.

This means that you can restore your magic power to full power with just 5 hours of sleep, because the value of magic power is wisdom x10.

Then, Jiang Ran glanced at Viviana and found that she was still sleeping soundly.

Looking at the two little bumps on Viviana's chest that rose and fell slowly with her breathing, Jiang Ran felt that this child was too defenseless, or perhaps she trusted him too much.

Of course, Jiang Ran did not rule out the possibility that Viviana had some automatic defense skills in operation. As long as he dared to touch the bun, he would be instantly cut into ultra-thin slices of meat that could be used in hot pot.

(Benny: Humph, it turns out all men in the world are the same.)

(Jiang Ran: I was looking at her numbers.)

Jiang Ran was indeed checking Viviana's status information. He noticed that neither he nor Viviana had recovered after the upgrade.

This means that the strategy of using experience points to level up and then recovering to full health to achieve a comeback victory will not work in this world.

There is neither blood recovery potion nor convenient way to restore magic power. Even magic potions come with the price of blood loss. The difficulty of this Prison Star world is really high.

Jiang Ran wiped the dirt off his face. In fact, he was not asleep when Viviana came to tease him.

But since the girl was so angry, how could Jiang Ran not let her "bully" him?

As a "counterattack", Jiang Ran also put a black dot on Viviana's straight nose. During the process of putting it on, he was extremely careful. Once the divine eye indicated that there was an intention to attack, he would have to run away quickly.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

Viviana really trusted herself.

·

Everything that should be done has been done, and even things that shouldn't be done have been done. Jiang Ran glanced at the time and felt a little worried about the situation on Wei'er and Ai'er's side.

In addition, the air in the underground cave was limited and it was not a place to stay for a long time, so Jiang Ran coughed a few times to wake Viviana up.

Viviana, who was still sleepy, felt embarrassed when she saw that Banning had woken up earlier than her.

She didn't know if she had made any strange sleeping positions after falling asleep. If Banning saw it... then, it would be embarrassing!

"Have you... been awake for a long time?" Viviana asked in a low voice.

Because she had just woken up, her voice was a little childish, and it made people feel weak in the bones.

"No, I just woke up too."

"Oh……"

"Sorry I woke you up with my cough."

"No, no... I should have gotten up long ago."

Benning was very close to her, and Viviana's eyes accidentally fell on his lips, and her heart immediately began to beat wildly.

"My magic power has recovered a little. I, I will lead the way."

Viviana stood up in a panic and tied the white scarf to cover her face again. Only then did her heart calm down a little.

——(Sword Energy Protection)

Viviana concentrated on the scarlet-silver sword in her hand, and then the blade shone with a sacred light.

Seeing Viviana using her skills, Jiang Ran discovered another use for his mind reading ability: knowing in advance what skills others were going to use.

After all, this world is not a novel. The only people who can actually shout out the names of their moves in battle are just a few hot-blooded idiots.

·

Everything was ready. Viviana got ready and was about to split the boulder when she suddenly turned around and looked at Banning.

"Ban...Banning..."

"Ok?"

"This time...what happened to us in the cave...can you...can you promise me not to tell anyone?"

Benning glanced at the scarlet-silver sword in Viviana's hand intentionally or unintentionally, and nodded seriously and sincerely.

"Please rest assured, I know I was forced to do that, and I won't tell anyone."

"Uh-huh."

With Banning's promise, Viviana no longer had to worry.

She turned around and swung the sword with her backhand. With a flash of sword light, the huge rock blocking the exit immediately split into two and fell to both sides.

The light from the outside world passed through the passage and shone into the cave. Viviana and Banning finally saw the light of day again.

There is a line in Fortress Besieged:

——People outside the city want to get in, and people inside the city want to get out.

After coming out of the underground cave and returning to the vast world, Jiang Ran began to understand the meaning of this sentence.

Jiang Ran and Viviana were not originally from the same world, but this sudden encounter allowed them to walk side by side in the underground cave.

Now, without the confines of the underground cave, the two of them would soon return to their respective paths in life and become strangers from now on...

If Jiang Ran is just a wimp who is afraid to take risks.

·

But Jiang Ran is not.

·

Who is Jiang Ran?

This wicked psychology love crime scumbag hasn't even gotten the confession points yet, so he won't let Viviana go.

At this time, the two had just come out of the underground cave and were facing the question of where to go, and they were also concerned about each other's whereabouts.

Even without the ability to read minds, Jiang Ran could guess Viviana's intentions through the subtle ambiguous atmosphere in the air.

"class……"

"Wei..."

“You speak first…!”

“You speak first…!”

After a brief silence, they both spoke at the same time.

Just like when we were in the cave.

Viviana couldn't help but think of the scene "at that time". For some reason, her body felt hot and she lowered her head with a flushed face.

3.37 - The rest of my life in the canyon (more updates)

The last impression when leaving is very crucial.

The unanimous voice with Viviana just now was actually a coincidence created by Jiang Ran using his mind reading ability.

"Where will Viviana go next?"

"I...I need to go to Gude Town first."

Viviana remembered her agreement with Albert. If she didn't go back quickly, she might miss the date.

——(Elders... please don't come back early...)

"Banning, what about you?"

Although she will soon be in a life-or-death race, Viviana is also concerned about Banning's schedule.

If we separate here, we won’t know when we’ll meet again... Viviana thought so.

Jiang Ran didn't answer immediately, but thought about it first.

His original plan was to meet up with Wei'er first, and then go back to Ella Village to give the brown rock flower to Grandma Kana for treatment.

However, if he went back to Ella Village, he would be traveling the same way as Viviana.

If they were traveling together, the situation would then become Jiang Ran, Wei'er, and Viviana, three (four) people traveling together.

The combination of one man and two women is scary in itself, and with Ai'er added, it becomes one man and three women.
