Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Even if he wanted to marry Nino in the future, he wouldn't be able to hold his head up in front of his father-in-law.

Observing the hair color, Jolyne noticed that the person who said those words was Ichika Nakano.

Then her expression twisted, the several equal parts became a mess inside, and finally Nakano Satsuki regained control.

"Putting aside whether Nakano Maruo can become my future father-in-law, Nakano Satsuki, you should avoid letting them show up unless absolutely necessary."

This is, after all, a trial mission.

I will lead you to victory, but the five of you should also demonstrate the magnanimity and effort worthy of an S-class rating.

Jolyne said to Nakano Satsuki, who nodded solemnly, "I will discipline them and make them take this mission seriously. I will also earn their so-called hard work and magnanimity."

In fact, all of this is nonsense.

If Kanoko decides to take Jolyne to the amusement park and let her win easily, Jolyne will immediately abandon her brain and become a 3.0-rated easy-win dog.

The reason he told Nakano Satsuki all this was simply to find something for the five of them to do.

"That's good. Compared to the others, May, your personality is more like that of a patriarch."

Jolyne praised.

In fact it is.

Needless to say, Nino and Miku are both somewhat emotional, while Yotsuba is a bit insecure, lacking confidence and decisiveness. Ichika is alright, possessing the maturity of an older sister, but she often lacks common sense and is lazy.

Of all the sisters, Jolyne felt that Nakano Satsuki was the most well-rounded in terms of her serious personality.

Nakano Satsuki felt a little embarrassed.

After glancing at her current predicament, the old witch's song outside the cage prompted her to immediately show Jolyne the information given by the Paradise Mark on her wrist.

[Trial World: The Strange Forest]

[Trial mission locked: Survive for three days]

[Current Difficulty: Level 3]

[Note: Please do not leave this forest without permission.]

"A survival mission?"

Jolyne glanced at the current difficulty of level 3 and immediately determined that the difficulty of these equally divided trial tasks was still somewhat abnormal.

It's worth noting that when Jolyne entered the trial mission, the difficulty level was only lv0.

He only became level 1 to 3 later on, and the park even put him in the safe infirmary at the start of the game.

Now, Nakano May is already level 3 at the start, and she's been locked in this cage. Something's definitely not right, so it's no wonder that Nakano Maruo needs to help these guys get through the trial missions.

Just then, the witch turned around and started sniffing around like a dog.

"I smell a delicious aroma. Which little mouse is trying to steal my delicious baby?"

As she spoke, she moved closer to the cage, her fingernails scraping against it, making a rather grating sound.

Nakano Satsuki held her breath, saying she would try her best, but she still looked at Jolyne from the bottom of her heart.

After all, she really doesn't know anything right now, and even if she goes to the factory, someone will teach her.

Jolyne is also in the cage, but he is now in a phantom soul state.

The witch began to smirk again.

"Hansel, stick out your fingers so I can feel if you've gotten fatter!"

Upon hearing this, Jolyne had a general idea of ​​what kind of world this was, and the witch's situation piqued his interest even more.

"Hansel! Hansel! Stick out your fingers!"

"what should I do?"

Nakano Satsuki asked Jolyne in a low voice, and the witch became even more hysterical upon hearing this.

"Hansel, you've gained weight, haven't you?"

"Hansel, you've gained weight."

"Hansel, you've gained weight!"

Black energy flowed around the witch, and with each scream, her body grew larger. At this moment, the hunched witch occupied half a room, her wrinkled skin covering the cage.

"To be honest, Nakano Satsuki, you do seem to be a bit fatter than Nino and the others."

Jolyne suddenly spoke.

Nakano Satsuki, feeling disgusted: "..."

Although it's true that when playing dress-up games, the thigh-high stockings do feel a bit tight on the legs, Nakano Satsuki absolutely refuses to admit that she's fatter than the others.

“Xu Lun, classmate.”

Nakano Satsuki was a little annoyed.

Jolyne waved her hand and said:

"Alright, let's begin the first lesson."

Players should possess keen insight. Whether exploring the world's lore or responding to danger, your ability to extract information is crucial.

Ignoring the increasingly terrifying aura of the witch, Jolyne continued to instruct Nakano Satsuki.

"Although the difficulty of this trial is indeed a bit unusual, the Paradise will not create missions that are certain to kill you."

In other words, even without me, you can get out of this crisis through your own abilities.

And you really can't beat this guy.

Then we can only explore it from a worldview perspective. Whether it's the environment we live in, the nursery rhymes she sings, or her asking if you've gained weight, haven't they already told you what kind of world this is?

"Grimm's Fairy Tales?"

Nakano Satsuki lowered her head thoughtfully and, sure enough, found some bones on the floor of the cage.

Then she picked up a chicken foot, her heart pounding, and forced herself not to make a sound as she handed it to the witch.

They were very close together, and Nakano Satsuki saw that the witch's bent, yellowed fingernails were almost poking her.

After touching the chicken feet, the witch said with a sinister smile, "Hansel, why are you still so thin?"

Crushing the chicken claw in her hand, the witch's body returned to normal, but her empty eyes never left Nakano Satsuki's voluptuous body.

She hunched over and returned to the fireplace, continuing to make gingerbread in her hands.

But the vicious voice came again.

"Little baby, eat more."

Let me have a delicious and satisfying meal.

Little baby, get fat soon.

I was filled with gratitude as I enjoyed a hearty meal.

Whether you're fat or thin, I'm going to kill Hansel tomorrow and boil him alive.

Chapter 368 Candy House

"...She doesn't seem to have been fooled by a bone like in the Grimm's fairy tales."

After a moment of silence, Nakano Satsuki spoke.

The main world also has Grimm's Fairy Tales. Although I didn't realize it at first, the witch's line, "Show me your fingers so I can see if they've gotten fat," reminded Nakano Satsuki of something.

The story is roughly about two children captured by a witch in the forest. The witch, seeing Hansel's thinness, wants to wait until he grows fatter before eating him. Because the witch is blind, Hansel offers her bones every time she visits, pretending to be still thin. He lives like this for a while until the witch can no longer tolerate him and decides to eat him. The story ends with the witch being pushed into the fireplace…

The witch's behavior just now completely told me that she hadn't been fooled by the bones at all, and that she would eat me tomorrow regardless of whether I was fat or thin.

"Of course! This isn't a proper fairy tale world."

Joren said, "This witch is a legend, but her strength is indeed quite impressive."

"Then what should I do? Try pushing her into the fireplace like in the stories?"

Nakano Satsuki complained.

Logically, this is indeed the solution.

Just like before, this witch knew perfectly well that what you were sticking out was a bone, but she still pretended to be deceived by you, just like in the story. Recalling the difficulty of this trial, it is not hard to conclude that this ghost story has some limitations, or rather, it is a murder pattern based on Grimm's Fairy Tales.

So, the fireplace flames that killed the witch in the story were like the witcher's silver bullets to her.

Jolyne: "Now your problem is that although this witch is indeed blind, she is also a ghost story that can kill you at will, and this ghost story seems to know this Grimm's Fairy Tale."

So, Nakano Satsuki, how are you going to push her into the flames of the fireplace?

Nakano Satsuki opened her mouth, but felt like she was doing a math problem and couldn't answer anything. She looked at Jolyne with disbelief in her eyes.

Please, what are you teaching me?

Now that you know witches are afraid of fire, let's push the witch into the fireplace!

Xu Lun, what's the difference between explaining a few physics formulas to you and now asking me to solve this challenging physics problem?

I, Nakano Satsuki, have terrible grades.

Although grades don't tell the whole story, Nakano Satsuki's math score of less than 20 points still proves that her logical thinking ability is not very strong.

The other four people in his mind were also discussing how to push the witch into the fireplace.

And the result...

The only thing to say is that zero multiplied by five is still zero.

Nakano Satsuki looked around the candy house, trying to use the observation skills Jolyne had just taught her to see if there was a way to deal with the witch in this room.

It was clearly impossible to come up with a solution in a short time, so Jolyne decided to solve it herself.

"Even if you find a way in May, your ability to execute it will be a problem."

"But that's why Nakano Maruo entrusted me with this task, so let me handle it. You just need to study hard until you become an elite player."

Nakano Satsuki: "..."

Although this was true, it inexplicably relieved Nakano Satsuki, but she immediately tensed up and told herself that she would get out of this situation sooner or later.

"So what's your method?"

Nakano Satsuki looked at Jolyne, unaware of Jolyne and Nakano Maruo's plan.

"My method is, of course, to overcome all methods with sheer force."

Jolyne picked up the workshop pendant and used it to cross the distance to retrieve her body that remained in the main world.

Then the black and red [Fourth Wall] appeared in Jolyne's hand. In the instant the witch smelled the scent and turned around, Jolyne, whose soul had returned to her body, had already opened her eyes again.

"Tsk, they actually managed to smuggle themselves in."

"And the amusement park didn't even pay attention to me. How did Nakano Maruo come to that conclusion?"

After glancing at the amusement park bracelet and confirming that the park had no objection to her smuggling, Jolyne's gaze then settled on the witch.

The witch looked puzzled and kept sniffing, so hard that a few nose hairs peeked out from her swollen nostrils.

"It smells so good, and it smells so stimulating..."

Just as she was about to approach the cage, her senses detected another presence behind her.

It was a human figure.

The smell of blood is even stronger than on the ancient battlefield.

The smell of rust, just by smelling it, added a touch of red to the dark world where one had lost sight.

The next moment, the world was spinning.

The witch collapsed, convulsing, her strength failing her to support herself as she screamed and fled as if she had encountered some raging flood or ferocious beast.

"what is this?"

Nakano Satsuki only saw a dark red figure with one head and six arms appear behind the witch, and then the witch suddenly collapsed to the ground and began to convulse uncontrollably.

"An ability called Killing Intent."
