Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

I've encountered monsters that can temporarily grow in team battles before. If you're even slightly careless, you might never be able to defeat it.

Secondly, Zoe’s safety.

Although the system said that it could block the flow of spirits to prevent the soul from influencing her, Leon knew from years of adventure that even the most sophisticated techniques and defensive mechanisms would still be broken by overwhelming power. This was also the rule of the world.

Attack as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.

In other words, Li Ang is not so unconfident that he needs to be overly cautious.

When Zoe returned with a small pile of water mist stones, Leon got to work.

"It's not quite enough, that's okay. I'll prioritize the armor and helmet, they're more important."

"wait."

Zoe turned around and ran back to the house. A moment later, she reappeared with a few light blue stones.

The stone in her hand was a very good quality water mist stone.

The meaning of these beautiful stones is not that the quality is much higher, but that they represent the girl’s intentions.

With reluctance on her face, she put the stone down and slowly pushed it into a pile with other water mist stones.

Li Ang smiled at her and said, "I will do my best to make them work."

"It's okay," Zoe waved her hand. "I'm sure I'll find more beautiful stones in the future."

Next, take her measurements.

24. Contact Resonance (Please Read)

Gloves, light armor, shin guards, boots, and helmets, a total of five parts of the two people's bodies need protection.

The girl, on the other hand, put her hands on her hips and thrust her chin forward nonchalantly, but Li Ang was very cautious in his operation.

After the measurement, I only have one feeling: my body is really petite, but compared to my body size, my development scale is surprisingly good...

The entire afternoon of this day was manufacturing time. If it weren't for the system's assistance, it would be difficult for Li Ang to be so efficient.

At the end of the production, what was lacking was no longer ore, but the materials used to make connecting buckles and padding. Li Ang basically turned upside down everything that Zoe's father left in the blacksmith shop, but it was still not enough, resulting in the finished product being uncomfortable to wear.

"Just make do with it. Equipment will be replaced anyway."

Leon placed Zoe's single glove, helmet and light armor in front of her. The girl stared at them like a kitten with dilated pupils, and she couldn't wait to try the equipment.

While telling her how to put on and fasten the protective gear, Leon also put on his own equipment and tried it out first so that he could make adjustments if there were any problems.

"Hehe, this helmet looks so ugly when I wear it." Zoe pointed at Leon and laughed.

Li Ang touched the outline of the helmet covering his head and shook his head: "This kind of standard equipment will definitely not look good."

Eight pieces of equipment were made this afternoon, and Li Ang's equipment manufacturing expertise was upgraded.

【Major: Equipment Manufacturing】

[Level: 2. Lower Experience]

Unlocked Blueprints: Fine Weapons [All Categories], Fine Armor [All Categories], Plastic Instruments [All Categories], Plastic Vestments [All Categories]

"From now on, there will be no need to make standard equipment."

Li Ang took a look at the Level 2 drawings. They required Level 2 materials, which could not be considered now, but could be considered in the future.

"Can you make beautiful equipment?" Zoe asked while buckling the helmet.

"Of course."

Li Ang recalled the equipment worn by the main players of the group: "Even if high-level equipment is not made into armor, it has a defensive power that is no less than that of armor. If it is properly matched, it will be both stylish and beautiful."

"so good."

"Do you want to wear it?"

"It won't look good if I put it on, right? I..."

The girl pursed her lips and didn't say "short and thin", but it was obvious that she hadn't adjusted her perception of herself yet.

She's still struggling with this.

"It will look good." said Li Ang.

Seeing that Zoe was still skeptical, he repeated it again.

"It will look good. As long as I get the right materials, I can definitely make a dress that will suit you and look good on you."

After putting on her equipment, Zoe turned her head left and right to look at her armored appearance, with some questions in her eyes.

"Why are some pieces of equipment icy and cool, while others aren't? Don't they all have water mist stones added to them?"

"I almost forgot. I'm going to teach you about magic resonance right now."

When the phalanx equipment is worn by different people, it needs to resonate with each other's magic power to be effective.

Relying on spirituality to attract magic is the instinct of everyone in the world of Newbis. Since they are bathed in the magic that fills the atmosphere all year round, even those who are not good at casting spells and choose physical professions can still guide magic to a certain extent.

Everyone's spirituality is unique, so the magic power in operation has a certain frequency. Simply put, it is similar to breathing frequency or fingerprints, which are the identification characteristics of each person.

The method of making the magic frequency resonate and maintain the same frequency for a short time has been passed down among the various military formations of Newbis. Later, it was introduced to the adventure world and used to distinguish you from me in the chaotic battlefield.

Leon spread out his hands, and Zoe placed her palm on his according to his instructions. Since she couldn't control magic power through the air like people in the extraordinary realm, she needed contact to resonate.

Leon's magic power wrapped around his palm, blending with the magic power gathered in Zoe's palm, and then separated and returned to their respective places.

"It feels... warm, as if Leon has become more approachable..."

“Well, this feeling is the completion of resonance.”

Now, all the skill effects of the Water Array have been activated.

There was a piece of equipment with a slight flaw that required 7 units to activate. However, since the two of them were wearing eight pieces of armor and a Dragon Fang standard sword, they were still able to activate the skill.

Like this, both of them were equipped with a base of Tier 2 equipment, with a small amount of Tier 3 equipment mixed in. As long as the attack was not a material or energy attack shaped by the magic power of the extraordinary realm, they could effectively defend against ordinary external attacks.

The day passed quickly, and by the time we took off our equipment and put it away, the sun had already set.

"Come and eat. Breakfast and lunch were improvised with fruits and vegetables. To help you feel more energetic tomorrow, let's eat this."

Leon took out a huge white wyvern egg from his bag, which immediately attracted Zoe.

This is what a wyvern smells like, or rather, all dragon creatures smell like this.

However, the more powerful the dragon species, the more likely it is that there will be difficult-to-handle impurities in the eggs, so people still prefer dragon eggs such as wyverns that are easy to obtain.

Zoe's house originally had kitchen utensils, but she only knew how to use the simplest cooking pot. The others had accumulated a thick layer of dirt over the years, and the seasonings were long gone or had gone bad, so Leon could not borrow the kitchen.

The two of them cleared a flat area in the yard, started a bonfire, cut a hole in the top of the egg, and cooked it directly on the fire. The eggshell was the best pot.

Zoe squatted by the fire, hugging her knees, watching the boiling eggs intently.

When she posed like this, she looked even smaller.

"I really miss it." Li Ang sighed. "When I first ate a wyvern egg, I was in a desert with no conditions. I did the same thing."

"Will it taste good like this?" the girl asked.

"You don't understand this. Do you know why premium ingredients are called premium ingredients? It's because simple cooking can create delicious flavors."

"Really?"

Zoe's throat moved slightly. She quickly glanced at Leon and felt relieved when she found that he didn't notice. At the same time, her eyes looked at the baked eggs even brighter, and it was hard to tell whether it was the reflection of the fire or the excitement of her mood.

Unfortunately, Li Ang saw the whole scene.

How could a small cover-up possibly work in the face of such rich experience?

"Actually, it's a little off because it's not seasoned. Although the original flavor is good, it's still a little bland without any seasoning."

"Oh, that's how it is."

The light in the girl's eyes dimmed a lot.

"But I'm prepared."

Li Ang took out a piece of white crystal, which was slightly blue in the middle.

He thought about this at noon, so he accepted the rock salt when he saw it at the mine. It is not rare among the rich mineral resources of Sky Island, and there is no problem in eating a small amount here.

The light in Zoe's eyes returned.

really interesting.

Due to the tenacity of dragon bloodline, dragon eggs will not turn solid or mushy as quickly as ordinary eggs. Instead, they become a liquid similar to runny gourd.

Sprinkling a little rock salt, Leon scooped out enough for himself and left the rest for Zoe to taste.

He scooped it into his mouth with a spoon and let out a long breath.

I finally eat something decent these days.

The silky texture was like cheese and milk, with a hint of saltiness. Even though he often ate delicacies from land and sea before, Li Ang could not find any faults with it.

His eyes swept over to Zoe, and sure enough, after taking a careful sip, the girl froze, followed by two tears.

"So, there are actually things that are so delicious?"

"There are so many unexpected things in every airspace."

"Ah, ah, I seem to, ah, understand why you, ah, like to take risks."

The girl spoke incoherently as she scooped up the dragon eggs.

But after saying this, she didn't mention anything about adventure again.

Dinner time fell into silence as the two of them destroyed the dragon egg. Leon saw Zoe lying in a Ge You position leaning against the chair, holding her slightly bulging belly.

Noticing his gaze, she sat up with her cheeks slightly red, a little afraid to look at him.

After a while, the girl spoke.

"Last night, I actually fell asleep very late."

25. Night Talk

Zoe smiled faintly. "I thought about Dad's notes and what I said before. Suddenly, I felt that I was..."

She paused, perhaps thinking that Li Ang didn't want her to say "bad" about herself, so she considered her words again.

“I think I was wrong.

"Although I can't quite understand what Dad wrote, I feel like he really cares about me, right?"

Li Ang nodded to her.

“But I said I hated them…”

The girl pouted.

"But when I think about them not coming back, I feel really bad. Is this not right? I don't understand."

"This isn't your fault," Li Ang said softly. "No matter what their relationship was before, human connection needs to be maintained. It's not your fault that you've been apart from them for so long. Even if they have their own difficulties, it's not your fault."

The girl smiled softly at Li Ang. "I knew you would say that, Li Ang. I felt sad, but after hearing your words, I feel warm and relaxed."

"Oh, by the way, where is the notebook?" she suddenly realized.

"During the battle with that monster, the scene was too chaotic and we were buried by a landslide. We were supposed to clean it up tomorrow, so we'll look for it while we're at it."

The girl nodded with a hint of worry: "I need to think about Mom and Dad again, and then-"

When it came to the next part, she seemed to have not made up her mind and did not say the specific part.

She seemed to have thought of something again, and her drooping eyelids quickly raised, and her clear red eyes looked at Li Ang seriously.

"I'm not saying that what I said yesterday about liking Li Ang doesn't count anymore."

Without waiting for Leon's response, she stretched and put on her lively smile again.

"Tell me about the air adventure. Why did everyone leave Sky Island and take to the sky?"

Li Ang thought about it and said, "Let's start with the appearance of this world."

The origins of the Newbis world are unknown. It is so ancient that over countless millennia, countless civilizations have risen and fallen, and the natural world has been transformed... Even the earth has sunk into the bloody horizon, and even the ocean has evaporated without a trace.

All existing civilizations are located on sky islands in the sea of clouds, and people can only travel between islands with the help of airships.

With only one means of transportation, there is a threshold for travel. If an accident occurs, the island may fall into a state of isolation.

Before the invention of airships, most civilizations lived in isolation.
