(Jiang Ran: Aren’t you a love guru?)
(Benni: I, I’m a love geek! I knew it all, but I asked you on purpose!)
(Jiang Ran: Oh, then tell me what I am doing?)
(Ben Ni: You, you, you are… you are… waiting for a kind person to help you up so that you can blackmail him!)
My goodness, this stupid loli would definitely be a disaster if she were put on Earth.
Jiang Ran chatted with the silly loli in this way until about an hour later, when he began to hear scattered footsteps approaching the village.
"Thank God, the monster that created the pillar of fire seems to have gone away!"
“Ahhh my house… Why is my house burning down…!”
"Joseph! Joseph, are you still alive?!!!"
The villagers have returned.
Although the villagers were scared away by the disaster that happened this morning, they had nowhere else to go except here. Jiang Ran was lying here because he was sure they would come back, but... Jiang Ran's plan didn't stop there.
After returning to the village, the villagers immediately checked their property losses. Then, under the leadership of the village chief, they began to work together to repair the disaster site and rescue the injured. Not long after, someone discovered Jiang Ran lying on the ground.
"Hey! There seems to be someone alive here!"
"...It seems like they are not from our village?"
"Black hair and yellow skin, there really isn't such a strange person in the village..."
Just like he could understand words he had never learned before, Jiang Ran understood everything the villagers said in their unfamiliar language. He listened to the villagers' discussions and quietly waited for the right time to "wake up."
(Benni: Hey, Jiang Ran, are you asleep? Hurry up and wake up or you’ll blackmail me.)
Jiang Ran ignored the silly little girl. It wouldn't be long before he showed her what it meant to be a hunter.

"Do you think this kid could be from another continent?"
"But the clothes he's wearing look like they're from our area."
"Hey, why are you talking so much? Let's rescue him first. He doesn't look like a bad person."
"Yes, something happened in the village, and we need people to work..."
Jiang Ran listened to the conversation of the villagers and felt that the time was almost right, so he pretended to twitch in pain, and then started to perform with his acting skills.
He is the best at acting with masks.
"Water... water..."
The disheveled young man struggled slowly on the ground, his voice weak and shaky. Seeing the stranger awake, the villagers moved closer, some retreated, their reactions varying. All of this was clearly seen by the young man's eyes beneath his disheveled hair. He subtly ascertained the basic information and psychological state of all the villagers present, and he already had a clear idea of what to do next.
"He said he wanted to drink some water. Who has water at home?"
"All the water in my house was used to put out the fire..."
"The water in my house has been boiled dry!"
"I-I still have some at home! I'll go get some water!"
A petite girl who was blocked behind the crowd turned around and ran away quickly. At the same time, two uncles came forward and helped Jiang Ran sit up.
"Boy, the water will be here soon. I'm the village chief here. My name is Woodall. What's your name? Where are you from?"
The village chief's voice was as rough as his appearance. Jiang Ran lowered his voice and answered slowly and weakly.
"My name is...Banning..."
"I... I escaped from... from... Luka Village..."
Jiang Ran had invented the name Banning himself, as using his real name would likely expose him as a "time traveler," something he absolutely had to avoid. If his identity were exposed, he could be instantly killed by a sudden, sudden attack. Furthermore, through his super-dimensional vision, Jiang Ran discovered that the villagers only had given names, not surnames. He deduced that most people in this world likely lacked surnames, so he adopted a simple name.
Since I want to "integrate" into this village, my identity must be as close to theirs as possible.
As for the name "Luka Village," Jiang Ran had actually "heard" it from the surrounding villagers' thoughts. Just now, a villager saw Jiang and thought to himself: Could this young man be from Luka Village? I heard that the place was previously plundered by bandits, and everyone fled. It was a terrible tragedy.
"So you are from Luca Village... Thank you for your hard work, kid." The village chief Woodall patted Jiang Ran's back twice, then put his arm around his shoulders like an older brother.
"Banning, although this is just a small village, if you are willing to stay, everyone will treat you like family."
Jiang Ran glanced at Woodall. The middle-aged man was thinking: "Damn the Red Cloud Mountain Bandits! If I were twenty years younger... no, ten years younger! I would have taken my men to wipe them out long ago! How could they run rampant here?"
"Thank...thank you, village chief...thank you...for taking me in."
Jiang Ran lowered his head, sat down and bowed deeply to the villagers.
·
Half an hour later, a "weak" Jiang Ran ate something at the village chief's house and then lay down in his room to rest. However, in broad daylight, it was impossible for Jiang Ran to really use his precious time to rest. His mind was working at high speed to formulate the next strategy.
(Benni: You're great, you've integrated into the village so quickly. But now everyone is busy rebuilding their homes, and you're the only one lying here. Doesn't your conscience bother you?)
(Jiang Ran: Conscience? What is that?)
(Benni: Tsk, how could the good god whip something like you?)
Silly Lolita seems to be becoming more and more godless, which may be because Jiang Ran always calls her "Benni".
(Jiang Ran: Master Nisen, I have a question for you. When we time travelers enter a parallel world, is our landing location random?)
(Benni: Humph! Do you think I would fall into the same pit twice? NO~NO~NO, I won’t tell you!)
(Jiang Ran: It’s okay. I know it even without you telling me. The starting location is a random place in the safe zone.)
(Benni: Eh? How did you know that?)
(Jiang Ran: I guessed it. Thanks for helping me verify it, Benni.)
(Benni: Jiang Ran, you you you you you bitch!!!)
The silly loli was so angry at Jiang Ran that she started cursing after just a few words. However, no matter how angry she was, she still had to come back to talk to Jiang Ran about serious matters.
Prigok Nissen will never forget her mission.
(Benny: Well... aren't you afraid that the 'enemy' will find out you're not dead and come back to attack us?)
(Jiang Ran: It's been two and a half hours since the 'enemy' left here. It's unlikely they'll return.)
(Benni: Oh, I get it! The most dangerous place is the safest place, right?)
(Jiang Ran: You think too much. I just don’t have anywhere better to go.)
Thanks to the silly little girl, Jiang Ran had become adept at multitasking, for example, talking to her while simultaneously blocking out his own thoughts. Jiang Ran could roughly determine that the enemy only knew his location when he first entered the parallel world, and couldn't track him after that, hence their initial rush to kill him. Furthermore, while considering the "enemy," Jiang Ran had also begun to formulate a strategy to capture "a certain person" in the village.
(Jiang Ran: Okay, let’s get started.)
(Benni: Eh? So sudden? What are you going to do? Wait, I get it, you're going to go and mess with the girls in the village, right? There are only 30 days left, so you better do your best, little virgin!)
(Jiang Ran: I would be so grateful if you could just shut up, Benni.)
Although Jiang Ran was indeed a virgin, this kind of low-level provocation wouldn't make him angry at all. Furthermore, Jiang Ran didn't tell the stupid loli that he had no intention of completing the strategy in 30 days.
Given Jiang Ran's current situation, if the "enemy" was still searching for him, he would hardly survive for more than 30 days. Without the ability to "predict death scenes," Jiang Ran could actually die at any time.
Therefore, Jiang Ran gave himself a deadline of 6 days. Within 6 days at most, he would receive a sincere confession in Ella Village.
·
After saying hello to the village chief's wife, Jiang Ran left the village chief's house.
In the village, everyone was working hard. Jiang Ran pretended to stumble and picked out some light tasks to help everyone. The villagers were very grateful that Jiang Ran came out to help even though he was still not fully recovered. With this cunning method, Jiang Ran quickly improved his favorability in the eyes of the villagers.
However, this was only the superficial purpose of Jiang Ran's actions. His real purpose was to make his next "actions" not appear deliberate and artificial.
"Watch out! The pillar is falling!"
When passing by a house that had been burned, Jiang Ran suddenly rushed forward and pulled a petite girl into his arms. Then he heard the sound of a wooden pillar hitting the ground and shattering. There was a "bang!" sound, which was very scary.
“Oh…ah…”
The girl was stunned at first, then she realized that she was in the arms of a strange boy. She immediately lowered her head in shyness, and murmured, "Wuwu...", not knowing what to say.
Jiang Ran looked down at the girl. Her lowered eyes were clear and bright, her thick brown hair was loose and fluffy on her shoulders, and her figure was petite. At this moment, she was like a docile puppy nestled in his arms.
2.2 - Wei Er
"Oh, sorry, I was in a hurry..."
Jiang Ran let go of the girl and quickly stepped back, apologizing to her sincerely.
"It's okay... I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for saving me..."
The girl lowered her head and didn't dare to meet Jiang Ran's eyes. For a moment, the two of them just stood there, and the atmosphere was a little subtle.
In Jiang Ran's opinion, generally speaking, the mentality of a girl in this situation can be divided into three categories:
1. Although she was rescued, she did not appreciate it and was disgusted by close physical contact, which negatively affected her impression of the man and she even felt ashamed of being rescued.
Second, they are affected by the suspension bridge effect, leaving a deep memory of the physical tension and accelerated heartbeat, and are more likely to start to suspect that they have such a reaction because they like the other person;
3. There are a very small number of people who will not be affected. The reason may be that they have experienced bigger situations and therefore do not take it seriously, or there may be other reasons;
Jiang Ran believed that if it was "situation one", the girl would not be so polite, reserved and shy in talking to him. Instead, she would say some ungrateful and mean remarks such as "Who told you to touch me!", "Stay away from me!" and so on, and then leave angrily. If it was "situation three", the girl should be more generous in communicating with Jiang Ran, for example, she should pat Jiang Ran's shoulder with a relaxed expression and say "Thank you!", followed by a hearty smile.
Therefore, excluding "Scenario 1" and "Scenario 3," Jiang Ran was currently in the ideal "Scenario 2." The girl must be both nervous and shy. Jiang Ran then used his super-dimensional divine eyes to observe the girl's inner thoughts, and his speculation was indeed consistent.
——/(/ /o/ω/o/ /)/Ah!! Was I just hugged?
——It’s just an arm around my shoulders, no, it doesn’t count as a hug, right?
Oh my god! How could this happen? How could a stranger, a man and a woman...?
—But, but there's no other way in this desperate situation, right? He did this to save me!
——But, but, but, I feel so shy! What should I do? Everyone around me saw it, right? I hope they won’t think too much!
—Wow… But after all, he saved me… Should I treat him to a meal to express my gratitude…? But the food I cook is so ordinary and can’t be shown off (T▽T)…
In short, the girl is very confused now, and this is exactly the effect Jiang Ran wants to achieve.
(Benni: Boy, you are lucky. You have the chance to meet a good hero and save the beauty so soon.)
(Jiang Ran: If you can’t use your eyesight, you can donate it to people in need.)
(Benni: What do you mean?)
(Jiang Ran: Didn’t you see that I tampered with the pillar?)
(Benni: Huh? When did you do that? You're capable of doing something like this?)
Silly Lolita was inadvertently plotted against by Jiang Ran again. This time, Jiang Ran took the opportunity to confirm that Silly Lolita could only see with her right eye. In this way, Jiang Ran could do something without telling Silly Lolita when necessary in the future.
(Benni: Hey! I’m talking to you, Jiang Yan! Do you still have any conscience?!)
(Jiang Ran: When did you develop the illusion that I have a conscience?)
As Jiang Ran confessed, he had never held himself to the standards of a good person. Even when he was rescued by the villagers, he had already been a liar. Back then, Jiang Ran's every move was designed to gauge the villagers' reactions and identify the easiest targets. For example, the young girl Jiang Ran had "rescued" was actually the one who had brought him water in the crowd at noon. Jiang Ran had used his identification skills to confirm the girl's basic information.
