After a while, the two of them were ready.
Jiu Deya said to Gu Ran, "You can start now, but if the damage is too great, you should let us know in advance, and we can find another place!"
"Not very destructive." Gu Ran looked at Jiu Deyaki: "Could I have a piece of paper?"
Shudeya handed over an A4 sheet of paper used for interview notes.
Gu Ran tore the paper into pieces the size of playing cards and took out two.
He held a piece of paper in one hand and said to Ye Sheng and the other man, "Please extend your hands."
The two exchanged a knowing glance and did as instructed.
Gu Ran placed the two pieces of paper in their palms and slid one corner of each paper across their palms:
"Look, these are just two ordinary pieces of paper, right?"
"Ah."
The two nodded slightly and continued to look at Gu Ran, just like spectators watching a street magic trick.
"And then?" Ye Sheng asked.
"Then……"
Chapter 3 Ninjutsu Rewards
Gu Ran took the two pieces of paper in his hand, instantly infused them with chakra, and then gently ran them across the second joint of the two people's fingers.
D-rank ninjutsu, Paper Shuriken.
By injecting chakra into a piece of paper, it can be made as hard and sharp as a piece of iron.
He tested it last night; the skin on the second joint of his finger, where the calluses are very thin, is most easily scratched.
The two soft sheets of paper immediately hardened after being infused with chakra, their four corners becoming incredibly sharp.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya felt a sharp pain in their fingers, and when they looked at the skin on their fingers, they found that they had been cut.
Fortunately, Gu Ran's cut was not deep, only on the surface, but blood still seeped out.
Despite the pain, neither of them pulled their hands away; instead, they endured it, seemingly testing the strength of their abilities.
"sorry!"
Gu Ran immediately took out two pieces of hemostatic gauze that he had prepared in his pocket and wiped the blood from the fingers of Jiu Deyaji.
Then use another piece of gauze to wipe Ye Sheng's face.
They weren't given a chance to refuse at all.
"I think this demonstration is the fastest, most direct, and easiest for people to accept. I hope the two seniors won't blame me?"
As he spoke, he casually put two pieces of gauze that had been used to wipe away the bloodstains into his back pocket, and then took out a prepared band-aid from his front pocket and handed it to the two men.
"fine."
The two hybrids didn't mind; with the help of dragon genes, the small wound would heal by night.
Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that the skin of a mixed-race person would be very tough, but it turned out to be just like that of a normal human.
He tried many times last night with his own finger to see how much force it would take to slightly cut the skin.
He had cuts on the ring and little fingers of both hands, but they had scabbed over by the morning.
The two wrapped their fingers with bandages, and Shudeya asked:
"Your Word Power... I mean your superpowers, when did they appear?"
Gu Ran said half-truthfully, "It was after my parents passed away... and then, I just started using it unintentionally."
Ye Sheng asked, "Besides making paper hard, does your superpower have any other uses?"
"Gone."
Shude Aki crumpled the piece of paper that had cut her skin; it had become soft again.
The two exchanged a knowing glance; they had gathered enough information.
Ye Sheng asked the last question of the interview:
Do you think the foundation of human survival is idealism or materialism?
"I don't know." Gu Ran shook his head. "I don't think any of that matters. What matters is living, survival, which is the first instinct of living beings."
Ye Sheng and his companion nodded upon hearing the reply, but said nothing.
Shudeya said, "Okay, that concludes today's interview. We'll let you know the results as soon as possible."
Gu Ran stood up and asked, "May I ask about my parents? Were their deaths accidents?"
Ye Sheng lowered his gaze to the table, not daring to look at Gu Ran. After considering for a moment, he said:
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you now. You'll know some things once you officially become one of us."
……
After the interview, Gu Ran left the meeting room but did not leave the Regent Hotel. Instead, she went to the restroom on the executive floor.
He went into a cubicle, sat on the toilet, and took out blood-stained gauze and paper from his pocket.
[Checking the grade of the collected blood samples, please wait...]
There was very little blood on the gauze, but at this point, the red bloodstains gradually disappeared.
Soon, the two pieces of gauze turned pure white, just like new.
[The blood sample from Jiudeyaji was determined to be of Grade A energy quality; this sample does not need to be collected again.]
[Ye Sheng's blood sample was determined to be of Grade B energy quality; this sample does not need to be collected again.]
[Rewards are being processed, please wait...]
[Reward: Base Chakra increased by 0.25 calories, current host's total Chakra is 0.75 calories]
[Reward: Ninja Trainee Level Ninja Tool Usage Techniques]
[Reward: Basic Taijutsu at the Ninja Trainee Level]
[Learned C-rank physical technique, Shadow Dance Leaf]
[Learned B-rank ninjutsu, Shadow Clone Technique]
Soon, Gu Ran's mind was filled with knowledge of various ninjutsu techniques.
Even without a teacher, he can learn various ninja techniques independently through memory.
"Shadow Clone Technique, finally a useful ninjutsu!"
The Shadow Clone Technique is different from the ordinary E-rank clone technique. The Shadow Clone Technique has a physical form and its own consciousness, and even the Byakugan cannot see through it.
Once the technique is dispelled, the learning experience and memories of the shadow clone will automatically be fed back to the original body.
This is an amazing skill for learning and reconnaissance!
Based on the knowledge in his mind, Gu Ran circulated his chakra, brought the index and middle fingers of his left and right hands together, and then crossed the four fingers to form a cross, creating the Ren character seal.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
When using ninjutsu, you always have to shout it out, even if it's just in your mind.
I feel uncomfortable if I don't complain!
With a "bang," another identical Gu Ran appeared in the cramped toilet stall.
Only then did Gu Ran take a good look at herself: 1.8 meters tall, with a fair and delicate face and a slightly thin figure.
Quite handsome.
"The shadow clone took away half of the chakra... and only one was summoned."
Because it was my first time using the Shadow Clone Technique, I wasn't proficient enough.
He wanted to dispel the shadow clone, but then he wondered if he could use the shadow clone to do something.
At this moment, the shadow clone spoke up: "Or should I go out and deal with those tails?"
'Tail' refers to someone who is following someone.
From the moment Gu Ran left home in the morning, she noticed that someone had been following her.
It is speculated that they were the group of people who came to collect debts last night.
It seems that the parents' creditors don't want the money they lent out to go down the drain and are determined to find Gu Ran to take over.
Gu Ran's main body was slightly dazed upon hearing the shadow clone's words.
"To be honest, it's really not used to talking to myself."
The two looked at each other and exchanged knowing smiles.
Luckily, there was no one else in the restroom, otherwise, just hearing the sounds would have been terrifying because of the eerie situation.
Gu Ran said to his shadow clone, "We can set a trap and send those people in."
The shadow clone understood immediately and laughed, "Great idea!"
……
Gu Ran covered her face, lowered her head, and walked out of the Regent Hotel.
"Boss, that kid's out."
"Keep up with him! Find a chance to tie him up!"
Across from the hotel, Liu Biao, a lean, bald middle-aged man, sat in the passenger seat of a Wuling Hongguang minivan, issuing orders.
Liu Biao has been doing very well these past few years; there's no debt in this city that he can't collect.
Two days ago, a loan company approached him, asking him to get an inheritance document for a high school student whose parents had died to sign.
Once the student signs the document, he will be burdened with a debt of five million yuan, while Liu Biao will receive a reward of two hundred thousand yuan.
This is a big deal; if he pulls off this, he can stay home for a year.
After all, in 09, the annual disposable income of this southern coastal city was just over 3 yuan.
