CHAPTER 380: CHAPTER 379: YUN RAN IS TRULY CRAFTY

Xin Fu was left somewhat speechless as he watched them; did he want to catch fish just to improve their meals?

He clearly wanted to perform well in front of Lady Yun!

The look in his eyes towards the others became even more dissatisfied, annoyed that his great opportunity to show off was delayed.

However, where Little Paperman is, there really isn’t a chance for others to steal the spotlight.

Without Yun Ran needing to say a word, another Little Paperman flew out of Yun Ran’s bag.

In a milky voice, it suddenly spoke up: "Master, I’ll go catch it!"

Subsequently, everyone saw the palm-sized Little Paperman dive straight into the seawater.

Although Xin Fu was shocked, he still managed to retain a sliver of clear-headed calmness, but the other three were frantically pounding on their chests.

They were so surprised just now that they had all forgotten they were chewing on hard-to-swallow dry rations. Now they were truly choking, almost rolling their eyes.

Yun Ran: ...

These people really had no experience. If in the future they continued acting like this whenever they encounter something they hadn’t seen before, their little lives would surely be played by themselves to an early end!

After a while, Little Paperman emerged from the sea, holding a big, lively fish in its tiny body.

From afar, it seemed like a fish had leaped into the air, one would hardly notice there was a Little Paperman underneath it.

Little Paperman had seen such fish at Yun Family’s kitchen, so when it went to catch fish, it specifically targeted the types that had appeared in Yun Family’s kitchen.

The fish was placed by Little Paperman onto the ground.

Xin Fu’s gaze had never left Little Paperman; he saw it shake its body, and all the droplets of water were flicked off, making it dry and smooth again.

If it was before, he might have been too afraid to look directly, but only after feeling there was no malice from Little Paperman did he take note.

The facial features of Little Paperman were all cartoonish, and its hands and feet were round and chubby; it looked very cute and not at all creepy.

Papermen who could fly and dive were rare, those that could help with miscellaneous tasks were also rare, but those that could talk and threaten people were beyond rare.

Now, whether it was the people present or those watching through cameras, they all clearly understood, this Little Paperman was a Magic Artifact with its own Artifact Spirit.

"I have never seen such Artifact Refining Technique, to even grant Little Paperman its own spiritual wisdom, what kind of heaven-defying skill this is!"

"To possess such a Magic Artifact is already great fortune, and to think Yun Ran actually has two!"

"No wonder she was personally recruited by Director Xie and favored in every way by Gu Chu, she truly has extraordinary talents."

...

Hearing this, Daoist Qingmu and the others had increasingly complex expressions. If everyone knew Yun Ran had over a dozen Little Papermen like this, who knows how shocked they would be.

Meanwhile, Little Paperman turned its head and looked towards the three who had barely been saved from the brink of choking.

"Why are you guys staring at me continuously? If you keep looking, I will punch you!"

Although Xin Fu had also been staring at it for a while, it could feel that Xin Fu was just curious, without any other intentions.

But these three were different; they had a very strong desire for it, the kind that wanted to possess it.

Little Paperman raised its tiny fist, the threatening posture looking very limited in terms of intimidation.

However, the three immediately withdrew their blatantly staring eyes. They were not so afraid of Little Paperman’s fists, but they were afraid of Yun Ran.

Since Yun Ran was already displeased with them, if their coveting was discovered, there would be no good end for them.

Xin Fu had already started dealing with the fish Little Paperman brought back.

In just a moment, translucent slices of fish were neatly placed in front of Yun Ran.

Yun Ran ate a few pieces, they were tender, fragrant, and sweet. She couldn’t help but nod her head, acknowledging the freshness was indeed good, though she didn’t particularly like these raw foods; tasting them was enough.

"The rest is for you to eat; I’m full!"

Xin Fu also realized that Yun Ran didn’t like these, so he didn’t try to persuade her to eat more.

He nodded, distributing the remaining fish slices to the others.

After eating and drinking their fill, Yun Ran’s hair was dried by Little Paperman, and now it was time to do other things.

The people who had confronted Yun Ran earlier were already startled by the commotion on Yun Ran’s side.

"Yun Ran’s group isn’t easy to provoke; we have no chance of winning against her. I suggest we avoid them!"

"I agree, who could have predicted she had such a powerful Paperman Artifact in hand? If it really comes to a fight, it’s the best sneak attack artifact."

"But even if we make way, will she let us off? Don’t forget, we’re in a competition. Although initially, everyone’s goal was to find a Magic Artifact.

But once the Magic Artifact is found, it’s bound to be a mutual slaughter between teams. I don’t think Yun Ran will miss the chance to eliminate us."

The individuals fell silent momentarily; they were all temporary allies from different teams.

Everyone was clear that they wouldn’t put themselves in danger to save someone else.

By that time, it would definitely be every man for himself; perhaps at the crucial moment, there could even be a backstab.

It’s impossible for a disunited group like theirs to contend with an entire team like Yun Ran’s.

"Then, shall we retreat first? Our current situation isn’t suitable for fighting them!"

These individuals were also equipped with cameras, so their discussion was naturally transmitted back in real time.

This frustrated those who had been keeping an eye on them.

Especially those who had placed their bets on them, who were now exceedingly annoyed.

"The fight hasn’t even started, and they’re already sounding the retreat. Useless!"

"Well, you can’t say that, their analysis quite makes sense. If they were a single team, united, and faced Yun Ran’s side, they might have hope.

But now, they are completely disunited; who knows if the person charging ahead will be betrayed by someone at the back."

"Yun Ran is really cunning, others’ teams are scattered around different places, but she managed to unite her people ahead of time."

Isn’t this just bullying with numbers, moving anywhere with a group of people to fight against one or two?

The best breakthrough for the other teams now is to find their own team members, otherwise, they would likely be taken down by Yun Ran one by one.

With this in mind, those who previously mocked Yun Ran for being meddlesome now had to admit, though Yun Ran was cunning, she indeed had good tactics.
