Chapter 436: Chapter 402 Kaidan: Explore Qingshui River

A tall figure and a smaller one stared each other down, eyes wide open.

At last, Jiang Xiao was the first to back down.

"Fine then, let your father give you a proper introduction to the frightening aspects of the Kaidan world..."

"Don’t think that I’ve never been defeated. In reality, each time I’m walking on thin ice, understand?"

"I understand..." Bai Yi nodded with a mix of understanding and confusion.

This won’t do!

The child can’t grasp the seriousness of the matter.

"If you have an accident, what am I going to do? What about Sun Wei? What about Mu Xitang? And Shi Shi?"

୧(๑•̌～•̑) Bai Yi still seemed confused.

"If you have an accident, will you still be able to enjoy all those delicious snacks, barbecues, and takeouts? Will you be able to play computer games?"

(๑•̌д•̑)ˀ̣ˀ Bai Yi looked slightly anxious.

"If you have an accident, it might actually be a cause for celebration for the little pink-haired girl, because then she won’t have anyone competing with her for the computer."

Hmm?

(｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡) A very serious expression immediately appeared on Bai Yi’s face.

...

In the time that followed, Jiang Xiao was constantly brainwashing her, vigilantly impressing upon her the dangers within Kaidan.

Madly infusing her little brain with all sorts of paranoia.

"Also, remember, if you see something valuable, as long as your safety is assured, it’s best to obtain it through reasonable, legal, and just means. These are all prerequisites to getting Shi Shi back, got it?"

This time, Bai Yi seemed to have taken it in, nodding earnestly.

The time that followed was a long wait.

And this attempt turned out to have the highest completion rate for the Chosen Ones.

After all, if you were willing to offer your own body, then...

Of course, the prerequisite was that you also had to have a good kidney, strong enough to sustain you from dawn till dusk.

Because you must endure on a tiger’s body until sunset before professionals would go to Qingshan School to bring the situation under control.

At the same time, nearly all surviving Chosen Ones had received at least a few hundred dollars from Xiao Xue.

Not everyone was as generous as Jiang Xiao, spending all the money given by Xiao Xue on treating others.

...

[The Analog Horror game is approaching, and the selection of the Chosen Ones is underway.]

Finally, it’s here!

These past few days, Sun Wei, worrying that Bai Yi would miss out, did not let her go to school, much to the pink-haired girl’s envy.

And now this voice sounded.

Bai Yi, fully armed, charged out of her room in an instant.

She donned the ceremonial robes of the previous high priest of Romia Cathedral, wielded a scepter, and tucked a Bible behind her back.

Ah, and she had a bagua mirror hanging on her chest; if you looked closely, you could see the traces of a Daoist robe under her ceremonial attire...

Truly armed to the teeth!

Jiang Xiao nodded in satisfaction; at the very least, his persistent teachings over the past few days had taken effect, hadn’t they?

"Little Bai, it’s coming, get ready and hold onto me tightly."

"Okay..."

Bai Yi clutched Jiang Xiao’s clothes tightly. She wasn’t scared before and wanted to make a big splash like Xi Tang.

But a child’s mind is always the easiest to be influenced by their parents.

After days of guidance from Jiang Xiao, her heart... was actually starting to panic.

[Dragon Country: Jiang Xiao]

[Sakura: Hashimoto Ichiro]

[Lighthouse: Mary]

[Kimchi: Kim No-zae]

...

"Eh?"

Seeing familiar names in the live stream, someone curiously asked a question.

"I must be seeing things, no one died last round?"

"Some did, the unfortunate ones, and those with bad kidneys, but... the casualty rate wasn’t high."

Jiang Xiao had already leaked that Xin Yi was a bad woman, virtually slapping the answer onto their faces, furthermore, the last Kaidan wasn’t particularly difficult.

"However, if the pattern holds, this round should..."

"Increase the difficulty."

Ding, the game begins, enter the Kaidan world, investigate Qingshui River.

The difficulty of this Kaidan is eight stars, with no external hints allowed.

"Dad, is this... a Kaidan?"

Bai Yi looked around the quaint little town in slight shock.

By the position of the sun, it appeared to be about two o’clock in the afternoon.

But the surrounding scene even had Jiang Xiao struggling to keep his composure.

This is a Kaidan?

If you didn’t know better, you’d think you were in one of those ancient water towns in the south of China.

The bluestone pavements exuded an ancient charm, and under the blue-tiled white walls, twisting alleys crisscrossed, with stone bridges straddling the clear rivers.

Streets and lanes were filled with a dazzling array of goods, as people constantly passed by, their voices creating a continuous buzz.

In those teahouses and taverns, the fine tea sets were neatly arranged, with fragrant aromas filling the air, making it hard not to smile.

Not far off, the emerald green lake water reflected the bright sunny sky above, glittering with ripples as a light breeze caressed the surface, with a few boats slowly cruising in the distance.

"Shocked me for a hundred years..."

This isn’t a southern town by the water, for the attire here is not modern.

Why would there be a place like this inside Kaidan?

Ding, head over to Eight Immortals Building and gather information.

What?

All the chosen ones were bewildered upon hearing this.

So we have to gather the information ourselves this time?

But...

What if we don’t gather it?

This Kaidan was obviously open-ended, which means there must be a significant amount of freedom.

However, Kaidan quickly extinguished any clever ideas the chosen ones might have had.

You have seven days; failure to complete the task will result in erasure.

"What do we do? Dad, are we going to die here?"

The totally different Kaidan plunged Bai Yi into a panic, her grip on Jiang Xiao’s clothes growing ever tighter.

"It’s all right, the stars don’t lie, eight stars, it’s dangerous but not that much."

The pressing matter was to find that so-called Eight Immortals Building...

He thought it would take some effort, but to his surprise, just asking a passerby got him the location of Eight Immortals Building.

It was one of the largest taverns in Hang City, not far from where they had landed, just a fifteen-minute walk away.

"Dad, can I have a sugar figurine?"

Jiang Xiao stopped walking because Bai Yi had pulled on his sleeve and stopped in front of a sugar-blowing stall.

"Alright, let me ask. Boss, can we pay with this money?"

The elderly sugar-blower took the money from Jiang Xiao’s hand and examined it closely.

Just when Jiang Xiao thought the money wouldn’t be accepted, the man suspiciously spoke up.

"Young man, this is perfectly normal money. Why are you asking if it can be used? You gave me a scare; I thought it was counterfeit, made me check for so long."

The money was accepted, and the old man even gave him change.

Nibbling on the sugar figurine, they entered the so-called Eight Immortals Building.

"Oh? The two of you, right this way please!"

A nimble waiter came over and ushered them to a private room on the third floor.

"Downstairs is fully booked, but the prices for the private rooms are the same as in the main hall."

Seeing Jiang Xiao look new to the scene, the waiter worried about being misunderstood as overcharging, so he went out of his way to explain.

Jiang Xiao nodded without saying much, now all he wanted to know was what sort of tricks this round of Kaidan had in store.
