The sky is high and the wind is clear, with no clouds in the sky.
Jiang Luo threw down the stone in his hand, raised his head, looked at the sky, and his mind was filled with thoughts.
In front of it lay a large stone slab with sixteen "正" characters written on it, and one with only one stroke.
"Eighty-one days~" he thought.
Eighty-one days ago, the grand finale of the final volume of Attack on Titan was finally released. Jiang Luo, eagerly awaiting the finale, bought fried rice and a Coke, ready to experience his orgasm and witness the coronation of an epic, god-like comic.
Then...
Ten minutes later, Jiang Luo became the vanguard in criticizing the giant, and began to rant on the forum at a speed of 120 words per minute.
Before going to bed, he even made a curse that made him regret for the rest of his life - there is no such thing as Isayama the old thief!
Who knew that when I woke up...
He didn't know whether Isayama's words came true or not, but he was really gone anyway.
Because he traveled through time and space and became a giant, and the most miserable one at that - the Pure Titan.
"Sigh~" Jiang Luo glanced at his bare belly and sighed for the 6721st time.
However, this is not the saddest thing. The saddest thing is the few lines of words hanging in his mind.
Mission: Entering Wall Maria
Time limit: 1 year
Reward: None
Punishment: Death."
A ruthless system, a ruthless world.
There's no reward for completing a mission, and you die if you don't complete it. Isn't this exploitation? How is this different from being a capitalist?
"Did I get the wrong script?" Jiang Luo asked in his heart, "I'm not a Colossal Titan, how can I break this? How can I break this? Should I risk my life?"
As a mere ten-meter-tall Pure Giant, he could only look up at the sky and watch the show from under Wall Maria.
Even if he managed to force his way into Wall Maria, what would happen next? Was he hacked to death by the Survey Corps alone?
Fortunately, the system has taken this into consideration. As long as he can enter Wall Maria, he can be guaranteed not to die and the next task can be unlocked at the same time.
"Alas~"
He sighed for the 6722nd time.
During these eighty-one days, he made a complete circle around the Wall of Maria.
The city wall was impregnable, easy to defend but difficult to attack, so he couldn't get in.
Time passed day by day, and all he could do was wait!
But all those days of vacant thoughts weren't entirely fruitless. After days of mental deduction and racking his brains, he finally understood.
The safest and fastest way to enter Wall Maria is to take advantage of the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan's chance to break through and pick up what's already there.
Unfortunately, although the method is good, the initiative is not in Jiang Luo's hands.
He waited and waited, until a few days ago, when he could no longer wait.
A terrible thought came to my mind.
"What if..." He swallowed, "What if the Colossal Titan comes back to kick down the door in a year?"
Jiang Luo had no idea what year it was. He was surrounded by brainless innocent giants, so he had no way of finding out from anyone else.
If he waits for a year and still doesn't get what he wants, isn't he just waiting to die?
"No!" Jiang Luo cried in his heart, "Picking up a ready-made bargain is too easy. This mission shouldn't be that simple! It's better to rely on myself than on anyone else. I have to rely on myself!"
Having made up his mind, he spent a few more days and finally finalized the plan.
Today, he will put a perfect end to his 81-day idle life.
Jiang Luo stood up, glanced at the slate covered with the word "positive", turned around, and finished in one go.
In the morning light, the long and narrow figure pointed directly towards Wall Maria.
On top of the not-so-wide city walls, cannons stretched out long trails in the light. They were the guardians inside the walls, with their dark holes pointing towards the bottom of the walls, ready to fire at any time.
Perhaps it was because the peace lasted too long, or perhaps the dozens of meters high city walls were indestructible, even the garrison troops began to relax.
They would never have discovered that a giant had poked his head out from deep in the dense forest south of Wall Maria.
He looks like other brainless giants, but if you look closely at his eyes, you can see that there is a bright light in his eyes.
Jiang Luo, he finally aimed at the weakest point of the city wall.
On the Maria Wall, there is a wall garrison stronghold every few sections, and some artillery will be equipped between each stronghold.
The strongholds are more concentrated at the city gates and the city walls, but are sparse in some places.
Jiang Luo observed for a few days and confirmed that the position in front of him was the best place for him to enter the wall.
There is only one cannon along the nearly one-kilometer-long city wall here!
What's more crucial is that after several days of stakeout confirmation, this location is unguarded!
"Hehe~" Jiang Luo couldn't help but sneer, "After all, I am the tenth existence besides the nine intelligent giants. The brain is really a good thing!"
The location was good, but there was a difficulty: the city wall was smooth and there was nowhere to put force.
Without the ability to harden, it would be difficult to break through the wall and climb up.
Jiang Luo had naturally thought of this a long time ago.
"The biggest difference between humans and animals is..." He pulled out a few stones from behind his back, "Humans can make tools!"
He had been polishing these stones for several days, and the sharp edges looked like a hammer.
He looked around and made sure that there was no one around before approaching Wall Maria.
The city wall was close at hand. He reached out his hand and touched it. It was cold and solid.
But who would believe that there are thousands of 50-meter-tall giants hidden in this wall?
They form the main body of the three walls, and humans have built walls on top of the main body.
But Jiang Luo understood that now was not the time to feel sentimental. He picked up the sharp stone, gathered all his strength, and smashed it against the wall.
"Bang!"
The stone was sharp and half of it was embedded in the wall in an instant.
"It's done!" Jiang Luo suppressed his frantically beating heart, feeling a little breathless. "I can definitely complete the task today!"
He followed suit and threw two more stones in. Then he stepped on one, held onto the other, reached out to pull out the original one, and then hammered it back into the wall with force.
The steps were a bit complicated and the progress was a bit slow, but Jiang Luo relied on this clumsy technique to move up bit by bit.
This is probably the legendary step by step ~
Unfortunately, this action is quite difficult. After climbing for ten minutes, I only climbed halfway.
Fortunately, the location he chose after squatting for many days was perfect, and it has been hanging on the wall for such a long time without being discovered!
Persist! As long as he persists, he will succeed!
At this moment, Jiang Luo said all the words of encouragement he could think of.
However, he never imagined that on the empty wall, a young man, still immature, was hurrying towards him...
