Keep Flirting and Don't Get Killed

Every countdown was like a fist hitting Jiang Ran's heart.

This sudden multiple-choice question was as paralyzing as "the 999 off for 1000 or more discount is only 10 seconds away and I haven't decided what to buy yet."

At this critical moment, Jiang Ran made a choice without hesitation—he wanted to choose ‘Difficulty Level 1’, which was the safest option in the current situation where a lot of information was unclear.

However, just after he pressed the "Difficulty Level 1" option floating in the air, the announcement from the parchment scroll was completely different from the choice he had made.

"The option has been confirmed. Parallel World No. 77 Prison Star, Selector Jiang Ran, submitted option: 'Difficulty Level Three'. Option data transmission completed."

"Wait! You're wrong! I chose Level One!! Difficulty Level...!"

"Good luck."

Before Jiang Ran finished speaking, the parchment scroll ended the conversation with an extremely ironic blessing before it spontaneously combusted into ashes, scattering in the air and disappearing without a trace.

"I chose Difficulty Level One..."

Only Jiang Ran was left standing there, confused.

I clearly pressed Level One, but it told me that I chose Level Three. What went wrong?

Jiang Ran closed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds. He decided to give up pursuing this matter. With his current ability in this parallel world, there was no way to change the "bug" which just occurred. The most reasonable thing to do now was to calm down and start studying this parallel world to progress with the task as soon as possible.

Jiang Ran was good at adjusting his emotions and taking action. He picked up a branch, found a soft piece of land, and began to list out the important information about what happened after his "death": 

=====

● A human-shaped luminous being that claimed to be a good god;

● This so-called "God/human-shaped luminous body" knew about human society information such as Pineapple Bun, Auntie's House, and Xiaopo Station;

● God knew the cause and condition of his death;

● God tacitly accepted the concepts of "investment" and "profits";

● God also has things he can't do;

● "Universal Stone"

● "No. 37: Scarlet Star" and "No. 77: Prison Star" → There are multiple parallel worlds;

● The known difficulty levels are "Trial Level" and "Impossible Level";

● Ability "Pseudo-Super Dimensional Eye" with the upgrade, "Super Dimensional Eye";

● Curse, "Thorns of the Heartless", upgrade, "Purgatory of the Heartless";

● "The Only Demon God Whose Name Cannot Be Spoken";

● Hell Abyss Empire, Bright Alliance;

● Soul-engraved equipment.

=====

Based on this known objective information, Jiang Ran made seven inferences:

First, the humanoid luminous being and he, as the executor of the task, had to some extent a common interest, but it was closer to the superior-subordinate relationship between chess players and chess pieces, or generals and soldiers rather than an equal relationship as partners and allies;

Second, there were things that the humanoid luminous being could not stop, so, likely, he was not a true god, but just some kind of entity in a higher dimension than the humans' world;

Third, most likely, he was not the only one who performed such tasks in a parallel world. It was even possible that there were multiple travelers like him in the same parallel world. From this, it could be inferred that there may be more than one humanoid luminous being, and they might be in a competitive relationship with each other;

Fourth, according to the terms "The Only Demon God Whose Name Cannot Be Spoken" and "The Hell Abyss Empire" that appeared in the task, this parallel world should be a world of swords and magic;

Fifth, judging from the name, the difficulty of this parallel world should be close to the most difficult, and it might be the most difficult one;

Sixth, after the ability was upgraded, the new ability came with the eye "dug" from the humanoid luminous being, which was a bit suspicious, so he should be careful;

Seventh, the ability, curse, and world difficulty levels should be proportional. No matter how strong he was, he must be cautious and low-key;

Once I die, my father's surgery fee will not be paid, and if my father and I are gone, then my mother...

Sighing heavily, Jiang Ran picked up a sharp stone from the ground, gritted his teeth, and carved the word "Jiang" on his palm.

He had read some works on time travel and reincarnation topics, and there were many characters who were satisfied and didn't want to go back. Jiang Ran didn't want to forget why he came here in the future. At the same time, he also felt real pain for the first time in this new world.

Seeing blood dripping down his wrist to the ground, Jiang Ran was officially convinced that this series of incredible events were all true. Now, according to his style of doing things, he planned to study this world in a low-key manner as much as possible, collect information about the so-called "Only Demon God Whose Name Cannot Be Spoken" and "Hell Abyss Empire" without attracting attention, and at the same time, find a fighting method that suited him and practice diligently.

So, before going to the town, let's first figure out my ability and curse.

"Super Dimensional Eye."

Jiang Ran tried to activate his ability by speaking, but there was no response. He looked at the Universal Stone he had received from the humanoid luminous being and felt that he had been too aggressive in his efforts to gain resources. Perhaps understanding some basic information could save him a lot of trouble.

However, Jiang Ran did not regret it. This was his personality. Although he was usually calm and rational, he would not hesitate to take risks and gamble when necessary.

So, Jiang Ran tried his ability in another way. He closed his eyes and focused on the concept of the ‘Super Dimensional Eye’. This time, something magical happened. It should have been pitch black when he closed his eyes, but now, he could see a lot of text floating in his vision, and these words persisted even after he opened his eyes.

It was the same type of text as on the parchment scroll. Although he had not learned it, he could understand it.

Jiang Ran looked through it carefully. The text in his vision was roughly divided into two types. One was description and identification text, such as the name "Teak" floating on the side of the tree, plus the date and time displayed in real-time in the corner of his field of vision. The other was Jiang Ran's own status information. He could clearly see his name, attributes, and other information, including the description of "Inherent Ability" and "Soul Curse":

=====

=====

After reading the description of the Super Dimensional Eye, Jiang Ran didn't want to read the content of the ‘soul curse’ part for the time being. His eyes were now on the sixth ability description of the Super Dimensional Eye, and he decided to use the Universal Stone to predict his own death scene once.
