Chapter 33: Are You All Blind? You Can’t See Such a Big Box?

Help! I’ve Been Controlled By An Evil God Player!

Glendo had seen plenty of fools like Vivian.

They always thought they could pick up a bargain, never realizing that if such bargains truly existed, it would never be their turn.

This bracelet was actually something Glendo had found years ago in some ruins.

At first, he also thought it was extraordinary.

Later, he sought out quite a few master craftsmen to study it, but none of them figured out anything.

Eventually, he even went to the Church. After a round of research, it was confirmed that the bracelet had been sealed by some special power.

Even the big figures in the Church had no way to break that seal.

Moreover, those figures also said that even if the seal were removed, it might not necessarily be anything valuable.

In short, he had tried every method available. In the end, with no other options, he decided to sell it.

And selling it made him realize a business opportunity—this bracelet had been sold many times already.

Every time someone bought it, they would study it for a while, fail to figure anything out, and then come back asking him to repurchase it.

At first, he was unwilling.

So he proposed buying it back at half price. Unexpectedly, they readily agreed—because after asking around, others offered even less.

And so, the item returned to his shelf.

But that wasn’t the key point. The key was that almost every year, during the enrollment season, some young masters and ladies from noble families would think they had found a bargain and buy it.

The result was always the same—they all came back asking him to buy it back.

Thus, he crafted a half-true, half-false story for the bracelet, specifically to fool these inexperienced noble students.

It had clearly become another one of his money-making tools.

Glendo obviously thought Vivian was the same.

After carefully putting away the gold coins, Glendo looked at Vivian, who was still staring at the ring, and asked,

“Do you need anything else?”

Vivian shook her head and shifted her gaze away from the ring.

Jiang Chen also really wanted to buy that ring. Although its attributes weren’t particularly outstanding—

But clearly, he had no money left.

Over five thousand gold coins—more than a thousand, nearly two thousand had been spent on sacred artifacts earlier, leaving just over four thousand.

Then came this bracelet.

Three thousand gold coins for the bracelet, and another thousand would be needed for identification.

In the end, he had less than one hundred gold coins left.

And there was also the Boss Summoning. If he could get a decent ring from that, then he wouldn’t need to spend money buying one.

If not, then this ring could serve as a backup option.

After finishing this mutually satisfying transaction, Jiang Chen left the shop.

“Next, I’ll find a place with no one around and identify the equipment first.”

Hearing Lord God say this, Vivian also became excited.

That unremarkable bracelet was actually a legendary-quality magic equipment—something Vivian had never expected.

And that ignorant dwarf had even sold it so cheaply.

This was truly a huge bargain.

So what kind of legendary equipment was it?

Vivian was very curious.

But at that moment, the Evil God suddenly stopped.

What happened? Vivian felt confused.

“So they’re still watching me?”

“Forget it. I’ll use stealth to shake them off first, then identify the equipment.”

Compared to anything else, Jiang Chen cared more about the attributes of this legendary equipment, so he didn’t want unnecessary entanglements.

Vivian roughly guessed who “they” were.

But with so many people, how would Lord God shake them off? And what exactly was this “stealth” he mentioned?

Vivian was curious.

She didn’t remember having any stealth skill like an assassin. And in broad daylight on a street, it should be very difficult to lose pursuers.

So what would Lord God do?

Amid Vivian’s curiosity, Lord God controlled her body and walked into the nearest alley.

After walking a short distance, Vivian saw a fork ahead.

There were three paths—straight ahead was a dead end, while the left and right led deeper into the alleyways.

Seeing this, Vivian roughly guessed which direction Lord God would take.

“It should be the left. If I remember correctly, going left leads back near the marketplace entrance.”

Vivian quickly made her judgment.

Then—

“Wait, Lord God, what are you doing?!”

“Where are you going?!”

Vivian saw something unbelievable—Lord God was actually heading straight into the dead end.

Then, before her stunned eyes, Lord God dragged a small wooden box from the very end of the dead-end alley to the intersection where the three paths met.

Then Lord God crouched down and placed the wooden box over himself.

Vivian: ???

So what exactly are you doing, Lord God?

This operation nearly made Vivian’s brain short-circuit.

She couldn’t process it for a long while.

“No… Lord God, you don’t seriously think you’re hiding well, do you?”

“A random box suddenly appearing at an alley intersection—doesn’t that feel suspicious at all?”

“Who the hell wouldn’t realize someone’s hiding inside that thing?!”

Vivian almost laughed out of sheer disbelief.

At that moment, through the gaps in the wooden box, Vivian saw a familiar figure appear.

It was Sister Aelia.

Aelia carefully approached.

When she reached the fork in the alley, her gaze landed on the out-of-place wooden box.

“Heh… I knew it. As long as you’re not blind, you’d notice something’s off.”

Vivian was already too exhausted to complain.

This move from the Evil God was just too ridiculous.

Then—

Vivian saw Aelia stare at the box for a moment, seemingly noticing nothing, before running off into the right alley.

“She’s actually blind!!”

Vivian felt this was absurd.

Before she could even process it, six black-robed figures appeared in the alley.

Seeing them, Vivian immediately grew nervous.

Earlier, she could barely accept one person being blind—but this time there were six. There was no way all of them were blind, right?

Sure enough, just as Vivian expected—

The six cautiously approached and even surrounded the box.

“Next, Lord God will probably suddenly attack, take down a few, then quickly deal with the rest.”

Vivian thought to herself.

Then—

One of the black-robed men pointed to the right alley, then to the left.

And right before Vivian’s disbelieving eyes, they split into two groups and left.

“Huh??”

Vivian felt like her brain couldn’t keep up anymore.

“Seriously? Not a single one of you thinks there’s anything wrong with this box sitting here?!”

Vivian ranted internally.

But very soon, something even more outrageous happened.
