Chapter 347 First Place on the Strange Flame Ranking?

After the national team matters were over, Jing Chen stayed at Baihuayuan for a while.

To be honest, although life in the national team was relatively relaxed overall, Jing Chen didn't know why, but he always felt particularly tired. And it seemed that after that brainwashing incident, Jing Chen felt his performance was far inferior to before. Going to compete in the next world in this state would definitely be a huge disadvantage.

Sitting in the courtyard of the Hundred Flowers Garden, watching the women chatting happily, Jing Chen felt quite pleased. As the saying goes, beauty is food for the eyes.

"Brother, why don't you go chat with them?" Xiao Wu asked, sitting next to Jing Chen.

Jing Chen smiled and said, "How could I possibly get a word in edgewise about what you girls are talking about?"

Xiao Wu covered her mouth and laughed. Indeed, Xiao Wu glanced in the direction of the group of women. They were all looking at Xin. Xiao Wu noticed that the women seemed to be discussing the ring Xin was wearing on her ring finger.

"Brother, Xin's ring is so beautiful, is it yours?" As she spoke, Xiao Wu noticed the ring on Jing Chen's right ring finger. Although it was different from Xin's ring, it was clear that the two rings were a pair.

Jing Chen glanced at the ring on her ring finger and chuckled, "This? This is my wedding ring."

"Wedding ring?"

"It's so beautiful!"

"Xin is so lucky. We've been with Brother Chen for so long and we still don't have wedding rings."

Hearing the voices of the women around him, Jing Chen looked up and saw that they had all gathered around him. Jing Chen smiled helplessly, "Alright, I'll make one for each of you."

Jing Chen smiled helplessly, and the women cheered. Jing Chen asked himself, "Would you mind if I made a few of the same ones?"

She shook her head. "I don't mind."

Jing Chen gently rubbed Xin's head. "Alright, go play with your sisters and get used to the environment here."

"Mmm." Xin nodded, and the other girls led Xin, Mei, and Ling Er to get used to their new environment.

"Brother, this ring... she..." Xiao Wu hadn't finished speaking, but Jing Chen already knew what she was going to say.

Jing Chen said, "Yes, I know. Of course, everyone's ring can't be the same, so the details will naturally have to be changed."

"Mm." Xiao Wu nodded.

Jing Chen lifted Xiao Wu's chin with one hand, gently kissed her lips, and said, "Alright, I'm going to make a ring now."

"Okay." Xiao Wu nodded obediently and went with her friends.

Jing Chen walked to the small house in the peach grove. Entering the house, he couldn't help but smile as he looked at the decorations. These young girls really put a lot of thought into it.

Stepping into the room, Jing Chen opened the floorboards at the foot of the bed, revealing a staircase. Following the stairs down, he entered a pitch-black basement.

Jing Chen snapped his fingers, and the entire basement instantly brightened up. Various crafting stations were placed in the basement; Jing Chen had his clone build this place specifically for forging weapons.

Jing Chen took out the main materials for the ring from his storage ring. These were leftover materials from when he made the ring with the national team. This amount of materials was far from enough to make a dozen or so rings, but Jing Chen couldn't return to the national team right now.

Of course, the system isn't just sitting around doing nothing. The system's shop sells materials from the worlds it has visited before, and it managed to buy enough materials.

He crossed his arms, stretched them forward, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's begin!"

……

Three days have passed since Jing Chen entered the basement. During these three days, Jing Chen has not left the basement. The women are completely unaware of the basement's existence. It seems that this is why Jing Chen has been able to focus entirely on crafting the ring.

Over three days, all the women's rings were completed. Looking at the dozen or so rings with different details on the table, Jing Chen was quite satisfied.

Jing Chen's forging skills are currently only good enough to make rings and the like. If you really asked him to make weapons, that would be a bit of a stretch. Jing Chen picked up one of them, a ring with white wings and black tail feathers.

This ring is for Xiao Wu. There is a sky-blue crystal at the base of the ring's wings. You should know the meaning of this crystal without me having to tell you.

The other rings are similar, but the only differences are the absence of crystals and the varying number of black tail feathers.

These rings serve more than just a decorative purpose; his, and even Xin's, rings are all storage rings. Only Jing Chen and the user know the true extent of their storage capacity.

Jing Chen let out a long sigh and left with the dozen or so rings.

As soon as Jing Chen stepped outside, he saw the group of women waiting at the door of the cabin. Jing Chen was somewhat surprised; what were they doing gathered there?

"Brother!" Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise when she saw Jing Chen come out.

Hearing Xiao Wu's exclamation, the women also looked at Jing Chen. Seeing the man who had disappeared for three days, the women finally felt relieved.

Seeing the women's relieved expressions, Jing Chen smiled helplessly, "I was just making a ring in the basement, is it really necessary to worry about me so much?"

"Brother..." Xiao Wu called out softly.

Jing Chen smiled slightly, hugged Xiao Wu in his arms, ruffled her hair, and said softly, "Okay, I'm fine. Hold out your right hand."

Xiao Wu extended her right hand, and Jing Chen placed the ring with the blue crystal on her right ring finger, saying, "Okay, does it look good?"

Xiao Wu looked at the ring on her ring finger, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart. She then had the other women come over one by one and put the ring on their fingers. The women couldn't hide their happiness.

"Ding, quest issued: Forge a longsword. Requirements: It must be imbued with the power of a cursed seal. Quest reward: Dark Flame will be upgraded to the number one ranked weapon on the Different Flame Ranking."

The system's voice rang out again at that moment, and Jing Chen's head instantly throbbed. He could forge a longsword, but what was this cursed seal power? Could he eat it? Could he even make it himself?

And what about the Strange Flame Ranking? The Dark Flame Strange Flame Ranking is number one? The number one on the Strange Flame Ranking isn't...

Jing Chen was stunned. What was this? It was so strange and incomprehensible. However, this reward was still quite good for Jing Chen. After all, having a Strange Flame ranked first on the Strange Flame Ranking was pretty good. At least, it would give him some means of survival in the Doupo world later on.

"Alright, I still need to forge weapons. This time it might take a long time," Jing Chen said to the women.

"Okay!" the women replied.

Jing Chen pondered for a moment and then called out to Duo Yu.

"What's wrong, honey?" Duoyu asked playfully.

Jing Chen asked, "Do you know what a cursed seal is?"

"A cursed mark?" Fallen Feather rested his chin on his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Isn't that a curse? Curses are my specialty."

"A curse?" Jing Chen rested his chin on his hand. "System, are curses and curse marks the same thing?"

"I hope you'll use your brain," the system retorted mercilessly.

Jing Chen's lips twitched. This...

"Okay, I understand. Go ahead." Jing Chen said, then turned and entered the cabin.
