Deep in the Living

Chapter 694 Top Ten
"Holy crap! Red gate and green gate at the same time, number one on the plant rankings! I knew the monsters in the middle layer were stronger than Teacher Ma, and he's been hiding in this fishing village all this time."

Why doesn't this guy hurry up and go deeper into the area? Why is he still staying here and trying to steal resources from us?

I need to go into seclusion immediately! It's time to study "qualifications" and also time to start considering the issue of accepting divinity.

Gustav on the roof twitched. He had wanted to investigate, but now he could only slink away.

Others were equally shocked, or rather, everyone in Vortex Town was deeply moved upon receiving the news.

For a long time, the members of the various organizations in the corner have been unaware of who is number one on the plant ranking list.

Some speculate it's the mysterious Mr. Kraft, but he's most likely long gone from the leaderboard and belongs to the deep-seated monsters.

Now that the mystery has been solved, what's even more astonishing is that this is a unique two-door monster, as rare as Libert, a born monster.

Teacher Guo specially led the two to the school and arranged a single dormitory room for the faceless man.

He could see that although the Faceless Man ranked first on the plant list and possessed extremely powerful abilities, his individual consciousness was not very good and his cognition had significant flaws.

Such an unstable individual needs to be kept on campus for careful observation and given appropriate cognitive education.

However, the faceless man refused the arrangement of on-campus dormitory, for a simple reason: Wu Wen did not live on campus.

After some discussion, the faceless man was still arranged to stay at Wu Wen's residence, which was that detached villa.

He stayed in a guest room on the second floor, right next to Wu Wen's master bedroom. The reason for this arrangement was simple: he didn't want his sister to suffer any more harm and needed to stay by her side at all times.

The task of monitoring the faceless man's condition was naturally left to Wu Wen.

The only one estimated to be affected is Roddy.

At least for the time being, he will not be able to live with Wu Wen and will have to find another place.

"Fellow villager~ If you're number one, then we have nothing to say. Being able to compete head-on for a while is already pretty impressive."

I never expected that Wu Wen's younger sister would get such a great deal. If this person is number one, his sister must be no less so. Although she has been dead for many years, her body is perfectly preserved.

Wu Wen inherited this body, and she estimated that she would soon be able to fill her pituitary space with plants, reaching the next stage, where she might even be able to directly transform from a student to a teacher.

Your relationship will become quite interesting.

Now that things are settled, I'm heading back to the Exploration Bureau! By the way, are you still going to pick up a mission, folks? You haven't eaten anything from your belongings yet.

"I'll stay in Whirlpool Town and check on Wu Wen's condition."

"That's true, your girlfriend is important. But you'll have to figure out how to handle things on your own these next few nights. Don't even think about sneaking in, or your brother-in-law might just kill you."

We've indirectly completed this mission, and the rewards will be recorded in your personal file. You can check them later when you return to the Exploration Bureau. You should also be granted some personal use time in the [Escape Room].

Yu Ze was about to leave, swinging his arm, when Luo Di suddenly remembered something and asked, "Yu Ze, how much do you know about the Jiang family?"

Upon hearing this name, Yu Ze's expression darkened slightly: "You're going to the Jiang residence?"

"Yes~ I heard that the Jiang family possesses a special method for soul repair. My hellish weapon needs some repairs..."

"The Jiang family's corpse refining technique is indeed related to soul stitching, but this place is too gloomy and somewhat dangerous."

The Exploration Bureau has conducted information registration and basic assessments on most monster organizations, among which Jiang Mansion belongs to the red danger category.

Unlike sorority societies and intangible manor houses.

The Jiang family's attitude is unpredictable. Whether it's humans or monsters, as long as they're not from their household, they can all be considered materials for corpse refining.

Don't assume that the invitation the former butler extended to you during the last freshman assessment was a genuine invitation; he might just be after your body.

Be careful, the living go in and the dead come out!

There's no way I can go there. The cultivation method I practice is mutually restraining with the Jiang family's, and the zombies there will definitely see me as a thorn in their side.

If you really want to go there, you could consider building a good relationship with your brother-in-law and getting Wu Wen to go with you.

Even if that patriarch of the Jiang family wanted to harm you, your brother-in-law would back you up.

"Okay... the Jiang family can indeed repair souls, right?"

"Hmm~ Don't let my fellow villager die, or I'll lose my motivation to move forward."

Both sides said goodbye.

Yu Ze's seemingly happy expression after resolving the incident quickly disappeared after they parted ways.

Upon returning to the Exploration Bureau, he did not immediately go to submit a report on the handling of the "Turn Sweater Man - Pan Yang" incident. Instead, he went to his own office, which belonged solely to the newly appointed deputy minister.

Take out the wooden box sealed with talismans, remove the black talismans inside, and carefully open them.

A section of the severed umbilical cord was twitching slightly inside. ...

Whirlpool Town Street.

The size 45 leather shoes moved quickly, alternating between them, towards the abandoned villa area.

Because Roddy's mind was filled with thoughts of the fishing village, the faceless man, and Wu Wen, he didn't notice which area he had entered or who was around him.

Until a hand-like sensation came,

Turning around and looking,
The grandmother, her body concealed by a white hat veil, stood across the street, her height equal to that of the sorority apartment door.

He gesturing to him by swinging his arm that peeked out from under his hat.

Mountains and forests, paths, and wooden houses.

Fireplace, chairs, wine glasses.

This time it's no longer an up-and-down massage interaction.

Instead, they sat on either side, savoring the sisterhood's flower-infused wine and listening to Roddy recount his stories in the fishing village.

"Wu Wen has never disappointed me. If she really reaches the same level as me, I'm really looking forward to the garden she will create."

Since things have come to this, Roddy, you probably won't be able to interact with her for a while. In the meantime, you should stay at the sorority's.

"Ok."

"When I founded the sorority in the corner, I was always envisioning a future scenario where the organizations created by the various monsters would divide the corner into different sections, just like the countries in the human world."

I never expected a special organization like Vortex Town to appear, nor did I expect a higher-level threat to descend upon us.

With your actions, you've brought Mr. Qu back.

The overall strength of Whirlpool Town now surpasses that of any other organization, and it's a complete and overwhelming victory... You should know that seven of the top ten Corner Plants are located here.

After all, this organization was founded to fight against extraterrestrial forces; as long as everyone stands on this one line in the corner, they will inevitably come here.

Only after his grandmother said that did Roddy realize what was going on.

He didn't pay much attention to the plant ranking at first, since it was just a comprehensive evaluation index given from one corner, and the plants ranked higher weren't necessarily stronger than those ranked lower.

But as Roddy encountered more and more of the top-ranked monsters, he gradually began to care about this matter.

By using one's status as a resident of Whirlpool Town, one can directly obtain the plant rankings of relevant members. Currently, there are seven monsters ranked in the top ten here:

1. Ultimate Flesh and Blood. Qu Qingfeng

2. Hereditary Misfortune. Maximus

5. Real Death Game: Mr. Question Mark
6. Tongue. Gustav

8. Scream Hotel. The Landlord
9. Ten thousand hands are one. Grandmother
10. The First Generation Zombie. Jia Wen
……

"Grandmother, do you know roughly who the other three in the top ten are, and what organizations they belong to?"

Grandmother changed the direction of crossing her legs, her snow-white thighs alternating, "The Jiang family, which once arranged for the former steward to participate in the new student assessment, had one such person, who was also the founder of the Jiang family - Master Jiang, who was the fourth in line."

"Fourth? Stronger than Mr. Question Mark and Gustav..."

Recalling Yu Ze's previous reminder and considering this ranking, Luo Di's subsequent plan to visit the Jiang family does indeed need to be carefully considered.

"【Human Body Expo】, founded by Mr. Rose, ranked seventh."

This organization is notoriously malicious, focusing solely on internal affairs. They've remained silent on everything, from the creation of Vortex Town to events outside the region; you should avoid contact with them as much as possible.

"Human Expo?" This was the first time Roddy had ever heard of it. He didn't need his grandmother to explain; just from the name, he knew the nature of the organization.

Grandmother continued, "All nine of them are monsters."

Only this "third" is human, and precisely the Director-General of your Human Exploration Bureau, Dyatlov, the first Corner Explorer who remained unaffected and transformed.

"Is only one out of ten human?"

"Humans are inherently less advanced than monsters in plant development, but they have unique privileges and their overall strength is not necessarily inferior."

However, in my opinion, Roddy, you have a great chance to become the next top ten.

"That's enough for now. Let me see your current level... You were able to sever the number one's arm, so your strength should be enough to satisfy me."
