Through the upgraded Super Dimensional Eye, Jiang Ran could get the basic information about this middle-aged woodcutter with just one glance. Indeed, after successfully using the ability of predicting his own death and consuming a few energy points, the Super Dimensional Eye added a little experience value and upgraded from Lv1 to Lv2.

=====

After the upgrade, the information that could be obtained through the identification ability increased, but what was more helpful was the newly added seventh ability: reading the inner activities of objects below a certain level. Through this ability, Jiang Ran could clearly hear what the woodcutter was thinking at the moment:

—Sigh, I am so tired, and not only do I have to look at that bitch's face when I get home after a busy morning, but the food she cooks is getting worse and worse.

—What if I... just chop her up with an axe like chopping a tree one day? ...Meh, forget it, if I am discovered by the others, I won't be able to stay in the village anymore, and I might even be sent to the town to work as a laborer.

—By the way, tonight is the day when Mary's husband stays in the town! How could I forget this?! Then I can sneak to Mary's house for a quickie in the second half of the night hehe („ಡωಡ„)*~!

—When I get home, I'll pick out a set of clean clothes for the night. Mary likes to see me dressed neatly. This woodcutter's clothes won't do...

The seemingly honest woodcutter didn't know that his heart had been seen by Jiang Ran. After reading his mind, Jiang Ran decided to use this woodcutter to avoid his inevitable death.

Jiang Ran had previously confirmed with Master Nissen that the future seen through the predicting death ability was generated on the premise that Jiang Ran did not act on it. This meant that in the future after Jiang Ran died, he could only use the Lv1 Super Dimensional Eye. In other words, after his death's point, he won't have the predicting death ability anymore.

Knowing this was very helpful for Jiang Ran's next actions.

While the woodcutter was still walking slowly, Jiang Ran hunched over and rushed on a shortcut to reach the exit of the forest first. Then, he took off his school uniform without hesitation, threw it on the side of the road, and hid in the woods again in a very embarrassed state, naked except for a pair of boxers.

The woodcutter, who was unaware of this, walked back to the village on the main road as usual. When he found a set of rare clothes dropped on the side of the road, he first asked affectedly, "Who dropped these clothes? If no one answers, they will belong to me, right?" 

Then, he quickly stuffed the clothes into his bag, left the woods, and returned to the village quickly, as if he were afraid that the owner would catch up and ask him for the clothes back.

Master Nissen: (Ah... this… why did you give him your clothes?)

Master Nissen was a little embarrassed to look at Jiang Ran, but Jiang Ran didn't seem to care about this awkward situation.

Jiang Ran: You will know soon.

Jiang Ran opened his palm and thought to himself "Generate a photo", and then the photo of the "death scene" he had seen before appeared in his hand after a flash. Comparing the death time shown in the corner of the photo with the current time (Jiang Ran could see the time of the current world in his field of vision), he calculated that there were only 300 seconds left before his "death".

Master Nissen: (Come on, there is no time, Jiang Ran!! Aren't you going to do something??)

Jiang Ran ignored the stupid loli's shouting as he silently moved deeper into the woods until he finally found a place with thicker vegetation to hide. Even if there were a lot of lumps on his body from mosquito bites, he didn't even frown.

200 seconds left.

Master Nissen: (Eh? That's ridiculous! Didn't you say you had a solution? So your solution is to take off your clothes and hide naked in the forest? This is too stupid!!)

Master, please be patient, there will be a result soon… Moreover, I would like to ask you some more questions. Is this your first time in a parallel world?

Master Nissen: (At this time, you still have the mood to ask these irrelevant questions?!)

Master Nissen felt like she was going crazy. Did this kid really feel no pressure? Or was he actually a fool? There must be something wrong when evaluating his ability!

I have completed all the actions I should take. The rest is to wait. If you cannot accept it, then consider it as the fulfillment of my last wish, alright?

Master Nissen: (… I… I really... Forget it, I give in. Okay, ask whatever you want.)

Jiang Ran deliberately said his ‘last wish’, so Master Nissen could not refute him.

Master Nissen told Jiang Ran that this was indeed not her first time to enter a parallel world. As a part of the gods, she would occasionally meet a highly adaptable soul like Jiang Ran, and then they would go to a parallel world together to complete the mission as auxiliary characters. Among the parallel worlds that Master Nissen had visited before, the most difficult one was at the "Nightmare Level". She did not expect to come to the "Impossible Level" world in one go this time.

Master Nissen: (The difficulty of the parallel world is directly proportional to the strength of the inherent ability, the strength of the curse, and the strength of the traveler. However, you were matched straight to the "Impossible Level". I think there was something wrong with the matching...)

Master Nissen was no longer polite to Jiang Ran at this time. She said what she wanted to say because she really couldn't trust this Jiang Ran who stood there naked. This boy who had just arrived in the parallel world and had only his underwear left, could really conquer the "Impossible Level" world? It was simply a fool's errand.

On the other hand, the information provided by Master Nissen was all within the scope of Jiang Ran's speculation. Since each parallel world was different, and Master Nissen was also visiting Prison Star World for the first time, she could not provide Jiang Ran with any information about this world. To use a vivid metaphor, the value of Master Nissen to Jiang Ran was just the instruction manual of the Super Dimensional Eye. When Jiang Ran completely understood the Super Dimensional Eye, she would become a useless and stupid loli.

If that's the case, Master Nissen, do you know anything about my curse?

Master Nissen: (What's the name of your curse?)

Purgatory of the Heartless.

Master Nissen: (Well, I haven't encountered this so far.)

Let's not talk about it for now. Let's start the final 30-second countdown.

The sudden final countdown brought Master Nissen, who had already relaxed, back to reality. 30 seconds, Jiang Ran only had the last 30 seconds left!!

As ‘Seven’, Master Nissen did not forget her mission. She immediately blocked the sharing of thoughts with Jiang Ran and made preparations. Once she confirmed that Jiang Ran would be killed, she would let the Super Dimensional Eye self-destruct before the enemy. The energy of the self-destruction was enough to kill Jiang Ran, and such a death would be judged as suicide.

(As long as it is ruled as suicide, the "evil god camp" will not get the extra reward, and my mission is considered to be completed.)
