"Oh my! A Red Door and Green Gate, ranked first in the Plant Rankings! I always said that the monsters in the Middle Layer, there's no one stronger than Teacher Ma, yet it's been hiding in this Fishing Village all along.

Why doesn't a guy like this hurry to the depths, yet stays here competing for resources with us?

I need to isolate myself immediately! It's time to delve into 'qualifications', and it's time to start considering accepting Divinity."

On the rooftop, Gust convulsed, wanting to find out more, but now he could only slink away.

Equally shocked were others, or rather, the entire Vortex Town's members were moved upon receiving this news.

All along, the personnel of major Corner organizations were unsure who was first in the Plant Rankings.

Some speculated it was the mysterious Mr. Kraft, but it's likely that he's long left the rankings, being a deep-level monster.

Now the mystery is solved, and more astonishing is it's a unique Double Door Monster, as rare as Lebeite, the natural-born monster.

Teacher Guo deliberately led two people to the school, arranging for a single dormitory on-campus for this Faceless Man.

He could see that despite the Faceless Man occupying the first position in the Plant Rankings, possessing extremely powerful abilities, his individual Consciousness state was not good, with significant cognitive deficiencies.

Such an unstable individual needs to be closely observed within the school, giving appropriate cognitive education.

However, the Faceless Man rejected the dormitory arrangement, for a simple reason: Wu Wen does not live on campus.

After some discussion, the Faceless Man was arranged to live at Wu Wen's residence, specifically that standalone villa.

He stayed in the guest room on the second floor, next to Wu Wen's master bedroom. The reason for this arrangement is simple: he doesn't want his sister to suffer any more harm and must stay by her side at all times.

The monitoring of the Faceless Man's state naturally fell to Wu Wen.

The only one likely affected was Luo Di.

At least in the short term, he would be unable to live with Wu Wen and would have to find another place.

"Friend~ if he's NO.1, we have nothing more to say, being able to confront him head-on for a while is already outstanding.

We just didn't expect Wu Wen to pick up such a bargain; if this man is NO.1, his sister must not be far off. Although deceased for many years, her body is perfectly preserved.

This corpse is inherited by Wu Wen, and she might soon fill her pituitary space with plants, reaching the next stage, possibly even becoming a teacher directly from a student.

Your relationship at that time will become interesting.

Since things are handled, I'll head back to the Exploration Bureau! By the way, are you still taking on tasks? Your Relic hasn't fed yet."

"I'll stay in Vortex Town first to see Wu Wen's condition."

"True, girlfriends are important. But you have to find a way for yourself in the evenings, don't think about sneaking in, be careful of being killed by the brother-in-law directly.

This time's mission we sort of completed indirectly, the related rewards will be recorded in your personal file, you can check back at the Exploration Bureau later, you should get some personal time in a Secret Room."

Yu Ze waved his arm to leave, Luo Di suddenly remembered something and asked: "Yu Ze, how much do you know about the Jiang Mansion?"

When this name was mentioned, Yu Ze's face grew grim: "You're going to the Jiang Mansion?"

"Yes~ I heard the Jiang Mansion possesses a special means of Soul Repair, and my Hell Weapon needs mending..."

"The Jiang Mansion's Corpse Refining Technique is indeed related to Soul Sewing, but this place is too sinister and somewhat dangerous.

The Exploration Bureau has conducted information registration and basic evaluation on most monster organizations, and Jiang Mansion is classified as a red-danger type.

Unlike the Sisterhood or Invisible Manor.

The attitude of the Jiang Mansion is unpredictable, regarding both humans and monsters; as long as they're not of their house, they can be considered corpse refining materials.

Don't think that the invitation extended to you during the last new student assessment by the former steward was genuine, it might be they have their eyes on your body.

Be careful, living people go in but dead ones come out!

I'm not going there for sure, my cultivation method is mutually restrictive with the Jiang family, the zombies in there will definitely see me as a thorn in their side.

If you're really considering going, you might consider getting on good terms with your brother-in-law, bring Wu Wen along.

Even if Mr. Jiang from the Jiang family wanted to move against you, you'll have your brother-in-law backing you."

"Okay... the Jiang family can indeed repair souls, right?"

"Mm~ don't die local, otherwise, I'll lose my motivation to move forward."

The two bid farewell.

Yu Ze's seemingly happy expression after resolving the incident quickly disappeared after their parting.

Upon returning to the Exploration Bureau, he didn't submit the handling situation of the "High Collar Sweater Man - Pan Yang" incident first, but went straight to his newly established Deputy Director office.

He took out a wooden box sealed with a talisman, carefully unpacking it.

A severed umbilical cord structure inside was slightly pulsating.

...

Vortex Town street.

The size 45 leather shoes alternated rapidly, heading towards the direction of the abandoned villa area.

Because Luo Di was preoccupied with thoughts of the Fishing Village, the Faceless Man, and Wu Wen, he didn't notice where he had walked or who was around.

Until a hand-like touch came,

he turned his head and saw,

the grandmother with the white hat curtain covering her body stood on the opposite side of the street, as tall as the Sisterhood apartment gate.

Her arm was waving back and forth under the hat curtain, signaling to him.

Mountain forest, path, wooden house.

Fireplace, chairs, wine glasses.

This time, it was no longer an up-and-down massage interaction,

but sitting on either side, tasting the Sisterhood's floral wine, listening to Luo Di detail the story in the Fishing Village.

"Wu Wen has never disappointed me, this time too she's really reaching the same stage as me, I really look forward to the garden she will open.

With things like this, I guess Luo Di, you won't be able to merge with her for a while, so just stay at the Sisterhood during this period."

"Okay."

"When I initially founded the Sisterhood in the Corner, I was always contemplating a future scenario where all major monster-created organizations divided the Corner into different blocks, just like countries in the Human World.

Never expected something special like Vortex Town would appear, nor expected some greater threat to descend directly.

With your operation, they brought back this Mr. Qu.

Now Vortex Town's overall strength surpasses any single Corner organization, and it's a complete crush... mind you, there are seven of the top ten in the plant rankings here.

After all, the organization was initially founded to fight against the Outer Realm, as long as standing on the Corner's line, everyone would definitely come here."

Listening to the grandmother, Luo Di realized something.

He initially didn't care much about the Plant Rankings, after all, it's just a comprehensive evaluation index given by a Corner, and being in front doesn't necessarily mean being stronger than those behind.

But with more contact with higher-ranked monsters, Luo Di also gradually began to care about this matter.

As a resident of Vortex Town, he could directly access the plant rankings of related members. Currently, seven top-ten ranked monsters are here, they are:

1. The Ultimate Flesh. Qu Qingfeng

2. Hereditary Calamity. Maximus

5. True Death Game. Mr. Question Mark

6. Tongue. Gust

8. Screaming Inn. Landlord

9. United Hands. Grandmother

10. First Generation Zombie. Jia Wen

...

"Grandmother, do you know roughly who the other three in the top ten are, and which organizations do they belong to?"

Grandmother changed the direction of her leg crossing, her snow-white thighs alternating, "The Jiang Mansion, which once sent a former steward for new student assessments, has one too. It's the creator of the Jiang Mansion - Mr. Jiang, ranking fourth."

"Fourth, huh? Stronger than Mr. Question Mark and Gust..."

Recalling Yu Ze's previous reminder and considering this ranking, Luo Di needed to think carefully about his subsequent plan to visit the Jiang Mansion.

"The Human Body Exhibition, founder Mr. Rose, ranked seventh.

This organization is notoriously malicious, entirely focused internally. They've shown no stance on either the founding of Vortex Town or Outer Realm events, you should try to avoid contact."

"The Human Body Exhibition?" Luo Di heard of it for the first time, and the name itself was enough for him to understand its nature without needing more from grandmother.

Grandmother continued, "The above nine are all monsters,

but this [third] is human, specifically, your Human Exploration Bureau's General Administration director, and the first human to explore the Corner without being altered, Diaterov."

"Among the ten, just one human?"

"Humans are inherently inferior to monsters in plant development, but they have alternative privileges, and their comprehensive power isn't necessarily weak.

But, in my view, Luo Di, you have a good chance to become the next in the top ten.

Let's end the conversation here, now let me see your current level... being able to sever the first's arm, your strength should satisfy me."
