…

"Do you think this guy is from another continent?"

"But the clothes he wears look like those from our area."

"Why are you talking so much? Let's save him first. He doesn't look like a bad guy."

"Yes, such a disaster happened in the village, we need everyone to work..."

Jiang Ran listened to the villagers' conversation and felt that the time was right, so he pretended to twitch in pain, then started to perform, showing his acting skills.

Pretending and acting was what he was best at.

"Water… water..."

The disheveled boy wriggled weakly on the ground, his voice soft. Seeing that the stranger had woken up, some villagers approached, and some retreated. Their reactions were different, and every action was taken in by the boy's sharp eyes under his messy hair. Thus, he confirmed the basic information and psychological activities of all the villagers present without anyone noticing, and he already knew what to do next.

"He asked for water. Who has water at home?"

"I used all the water in my home to put out the fire..."

"All the water in my home has evaporated!"

"I, I still have water at home! I'll go get some!"

A petite girl blocked behind the crowd turned around and ran away quickly. At the same time, two men came forward and helped Jiang Ran sit up.

"Boy, 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 made his voice weak and answered slowly.

"I... My name is... Banning… I... I escaped... from... Luka Village..."

Banning was a name Jiang Ran made up because saying his real name might expose his identity as a "traveler", which he definitely had to avoid. If his identity was exposed, he might be killed instantly by the enemy who came from the sky again. In addition, through the identification ability of the Super Dimensional Eye, Jiang Ran found that these villagers only had names but no surnames. Presuming that most people in this world probably did not have surnames, he also gave himself a simple name.

Since he wanted to 'integrate' among these villagers, his identity must be as close as possible to theirs.

As for the name 'Luka Village', Jiang Ran actually 'picked it up' from the minds of the surrounding villagers. Just now, a villager saw Jiang Ran and thought in his heart: Could this boy be from Luka Village? I heard that the place was raided by bandits, and people scattered away in a sorry state.

"So you are from Luka Village... You had a hard time, kid." The village chief Woodall patted Jiang Ran's back twice, and then put his arm around his shoulders like a big 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. What the middle-aged man was thinking was: Damn Scarlet Cloud bandits, if I was twenty years younger... no, ten years younger! I would have led a team to destroy them long ago! How could they be so rampant here?!

"Thank... Thank you, village chief... Thank you all... for taking me in."

Jiang Ran lowered his head, bowing deeply to the villagers.

…

Half an hour later, the 'weak' Jiang Ran ate something at the village chief's house and then lay down in his room to rest. However, in broad daylight, Jiang Ran could not really use his precious time to rest. His brain was working at high speed to formulate the next strategy plan.

Silly Ni: (You did great, you have integrated into the village so quickly. But now, everyone is busy rebuilding their homes, and you are the only one lying here. Does your conscience not bother you?)

Jiang Ran: Conscience? What is that?

Silly Ni: (Tsk, how could the good god choose someone like you?)

Stupid loli was acting less and less like a god, possibly because Jiang Ran always called her Silly Ni.

Master Nissen, I have a question for you. When a traveler enters the parallel world, is the landing location random?

Silly Ni: (Humph! Do you think I will fall into the same trap twice? NO~ NO~ NO, I won't tell you!)

It's okay. I know even if you don't tell me. The initial location is a random place in the safe zone.

Silly Ni: (Eh? How did you know?)

I guessed. Thank you for helping me verify it, Silly Ni.

Silly Ni: (Jiang Ran, you- you- you- you bastard!!!)

The stupid loli was angered again by Jiang Ran's teasing, but no matter how angry she was, she still had to talk to him about important business.

Master Nissen would not forget her mission.

Silly Ni: (Well, aren't you afraid that the enemy will find out that you are not dead, and then come back to this village?)

It has been two and a half hours since the enemy left the place, and he is unlikely to return.

Silly Ni: (Oh, I understand! The most dangerous place is the safest, right!)

You think too much, I just don't have a better place to go.

Thanks to the 'noise' made by the stupid loli, Jiang Ran could now do two things at the same time. For example, he could talk to the stupid loli while shielding his thoughts from her. 

In the end, Jiang Ran concluded that the enemy could only grasp his location the moment he entered the parallel world, and couldn't track him afterward. That was why he was so anxious to kill him from the beginning. In addition to considering the enemy's actions, Jiang Ran had already roughly outlined a strategy to conquer someone in the village.

Okay, let's get started.

Silly Ni: (Eh? So sudden? What are you going to do? Wait, I get it, you're going to cause trouble for the girls in the village, right? There are only 30 days left, so you better do your best, little virgin!)

I'd appreciate it if you'd shut up, Silly Ni.

Although Jiang Ran was indeed a virgin, this kind of low-level provocation didn't make him angry at all. Jiang Ran also didn't tell the stupid loli that he didn't plan to use thirty days to complete the strategy.

According to his current situation, if the enemy was still searching for him, it would be difficult for him to survive thirty days. Without the ability to predict his death scene, Jiang Ran could now die at any time.

Therefore, he gave himself a time limit of six days. Within six days at most, he must receive a sincere confession in this Ella Village.

… 

After saying hello to the village chief's wife, Jiang Ran left the house.

In the village, everyone was working hard. Jiang Ran pretended to stagger and picked some light work to help everyone. The villagers were very grateful that Jiang Ran came out to help before he recovered. With this scheming method, he 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. 

"Be careful! The pillar is going to fall down!"

When passing by a house that had been burned by fire, Jiang Ran suddenly rushed forward and pulled a petite girl into his arms. Then, he heard the sound of the wooden pillar hitting the ground and breaking. 

"Bang!" It was very scary.

"Hey… ah..."

The girl was shocked at first, then realized that she was in the arms of a strange boy, and she lowered her head shyly. She whimpered, "Woooo..." and didn't know what to say.

Jiang Ran looked down at the girl. Her eyes were clear and bright, her thick brown hair was loosely draped over her shoulders, and her figure was petite. At this moment, she was like a docile puppy nestled in his arms.
