Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 81 Do you dare to come?
Zhe Zhou seemed somewhat puzzled when he saw the withered branches, because he hadn't replied to Jiang Ran's message for a long time.

Just as Jiang Ran was thinking about whether to trick him into revealing the coordinates and kill Zhe Zhou before the storm hit, his reply finally arrived.

Zhezhou: "Give me this, and I can make you a promise that you will definitely be able to enter Paro Island."

Young Lady: "What good are your promises? You can't just make empty promises like that, bro. If you want this piece of rotten wood, at least tell me what it is and why the Holy Seed is related to Paro Island."

Zhezhou: "The Sacred Tree isn't rotten wood! I might as well tell you, the Sacred Seed is an opportunity bestowed by the gods. Only by successfully nurturing the Sacred Seed can the players on the train be qualified to gain the gods' approval and enter Paro Island."

“Those without divine favor will only become fuel at the very bottom, even if they enter Paro Island. If you want to leave this train alive, give me the sacred tree, and I will naturally have a way to restore it.”

Jiang Ran frowned upon seeing Zhe Zhou's words: "You're not a member of GOD. Who are you, and why do you know so much?"

Now that things have come to this, Jiang Ran no longer needs to hide the fact that she knows about the origin of the Holy Seed, since she will eventually have to ask about the relationship between GOD and the Holy Seed anyway.

As expected, Zhe Zhou was not surprised by this, but said sarcastically, "What kind of trash is GOD? If it weren't for the fact that the Holy Seed couldn't be designated at the beginning... Since you are destined to be with the Holy Seed, I can make you the next inheritor of the Holy Seed's power."

"As the inheritor, once the sacred seed is fully cultivated, you will receive the most abundant divine favor, and you will become a superior person even on Paro Island. The gods have always cared for their people, and when you encounter danger, their divine favor will protect you."

For some reason, when Jiang Ran saw Zhe Zhou's words, the first thing that came to mind was the scene in the explorer's notebook filled with indescribable things.

Could it be that what's depicted there isn't actually from the dungeon at all, but rather... Paro Island?

According to Zhezhou, one must have divine favor to survive on Paro Island. So where do the dangers come from?

A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and she typed without changing her expression: "Really? But why did my boss tell me that there's more than one god on Paro Island?"

Zhe Zhou: "How could he possibly know?! He's the successor of some great being!!"

Oh wow.

Jiang Ran confirmed her suspicions, but didn't feel particularly happy.

Paro Island is indeed a rather eerie place.

So, these high and mighty gods aren't without desires, are they? At least, they rely on intense emotions like Jiang Ran's before, as nourishment for themselves.

Since it's a mutually beneficial arrangement, why act so superior?
Jiang Ran did not answer Zhe Zhou's question; she was simply seriously considering whether or not to kill Zhe Zhou now.

Leaving such a major enemy here doesn't feel quite right.

But Zhezhou knows many things that players shouldn't know. What kind of extraordinary encounter did he have, or is there something wrong with his identity?

Jiang Ran looked at her skill list and didn't hesitate for long.

The fact that Zhe Zhou angrily called her "Lin Yang" earlier shows that no matter how powerful that god is, at least in the game, it cannot make Zhe Zhou see through its true identity.

That makes sense. Zhe Zhou himself is more like an insignificant henchman. Why would the gods bother with him? His importance might not even be as great as that sacred seed.

Jiang Ran had some guesses about Zhe Zhou's attitude.

Paro Island is very likely the dwelling place of those gods, and the survival game... may just be their slaughterhouse.

By using games to stimulate the most fundamental good and evil in human nature, and the extreme emotions that erupt from the clash between good and evil, perhaps that's what they really want to harvest. The existence of the Holy Seed also made Jiang Ran realize that even gods might not be able to do whatever they want in games, otherwise they wouldn't need to absorb "nutrients" in such a roundabout way.

As for Zhe Zhou, she probably isn't even a lackey of the gods. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to keep her disguise until today.

Once you understand these things, things will be much easier. If you really find something wrong, you can simply slip away unnoticed.

She absolutely had to kill Zhe Zhou; her only hope was that after killing him, she could use "Legacy Plunder" to get some equipment.

I glanced at the time; it was already 19:10 PM. The storm was coming in fifty minutes.

In the chat box, Zhe Zhou was frantically asking Jiang Ran which god her boss knew.

This made Jiang Ran feel that the reason why Zhe Zhou seemed so mysterious to her before was simply because she had been given an information gap.

Without wasting words, she sent over a coordinate: "Dare to come? You can have this branch, but my boss said you have to demonstrate to him how to restore it to a sacred seed."

Zhe Zhou: "I can come over, but you have to give me a teleportation card. Also, tell me, did your boss also obtain the Holy Seed?"

Young Lady: "Stop talking nonsense, you'll find out when you get here. I've sent the teleportation card to your email, hurry up, my boss said a storm is coming soon."

Zhe Zhou: "He actually knew what was going to happen... I'm coming right away."

Jiang Ran replied with a blank expression, then put on her mask, switched to the Little Spinning Top mode, and tossed the dice in her hand.

By the time Zhezhou appeared in the room, she had already thrown out three "2s".

The effect of rolling a 2 on the dice is to freeze. She needs to ensure that no matter what life-saving items Zhe Zhou has, he won't survive.

However, Jiang Ran was also worried that Zhe Zhou might have some means to counter her skills, just like when she killed the terrifying whale. Therefore, she made two preparations.

After landing, Zhezhou didn't spare a glance for Jiang Ran, but instead walked confidently towards Xiaobai.

It seems he also knew that the "young lady" had a "battle avatar" who was always by her side.

"Where's your boss? Wasn't he with you?"

Zhe Zhou acted as if he were strolling through his own living room. He looked around the two-story house, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Just as he was looking around the house, Xiaobai suddenly made his move!
Without hesitation, he fired two shots at Zhezhou: "You think you're worthy of seeing my boss?"

But just as Jiang Ran had worried, Zhe Zhou dared to come alone, so he must have something to rely on.

A faint golden light emanated from his body, and the two bullets seemed to be forcibly frozen in place.

Zhe Zhou shrugged, his helplessness tinged with a familiar, almost sickeningly familiar tolerance: "Why go to such lengths? Don't waste your energy, you can't kill me. Now, let's talk about the Holy Seed."

Meanwhile, Jiang Ran silently clicked to use the skill, Heartless!
