Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

As a war horse, the small motorcycle maintains a good habit and always sleeps standing up so that it can be started at any time.

Jiang Ran nodded in satisfaction, then left the city by himself.

Jiang Ran's speed is actually faster than Xiao Moto's. The reason why he sought out Xiao Moto was mainly because he wanted to have a companion.

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Ran arrived at the northern suburbs of Sunny Town. It was close to the Sangbei Wasteland and sparsely populated, which was suitable for what Jiang Ran was going to do next.

The upper limit of the level of the second-level profession is level 50, and Jiang Ran is now level 40.

With the lesson learned last time, he had to adjust the pace of upgrading this time to avoid wasting too much experience points.

[Note: After Jiang Ran successfully passed the "Advanced Trial," he also defeated 15 mercenaries from the mayor's faction. These 15 individuals had a total of 31200 experience points. The author foolishly forgot to calculate this, so I'm giving it to Jiang Ran now. Therefore, Jiang Ran's level has been increased from 38 to 40. This has no impact on the plot. Please be advised.]

In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, Jiang Ran will invest more time in improving his skill proficiency. He came here today to practice and master the new skill he gained after advancing to the "Shadow Killer": "Shadow Behind".

━━━━━━━━━━

Skill Name: Shadow Behind - Lv1

Effect description:

1. You can select a "living target" within a 10-meter range, create a shadow copy of the "skill user" from its shadow, and grant it a one-time command;

2. Shadow copies cannot use skills or special abilities;

3. The shadow copy can only exist for 5 seconds at most;

4. When the vitality or stamina of the shadow copy reaches zero, it will disappear immediately;

5. When the skill user falls into a dizzy, comatose, sleeping, or dead state, the shadow copy disappears immediately;

6. Each use of the skill consumes 200 mana points and has a cooldown of 15 seconds;

7. Each use increases 5 points of proficiency;

━━━━━━━━━━

Jiang Ran was very excited when he obtained this skill. The value of this skill far exceeded the description.

However, because Jiang Ran still had many doubts about this skill, he did not dare to use it easily when facing Albert.

Today in this deserted suburb, Jiang Ran will conduct a thorough experiment to find out the full picture of this "shadow behind him".

·

Two hours later, all the animals near the northern suburbs were "tortured" by Jiang Ran.

He not only "tortured" the animals, but also "tortured" himself.

Correspondingly, Jiang Ran used "Shadow Behind" a total of 12 times, and basically figured out how to use this skill. He was also looking forward to what kind of monster this skill would grow into after subsequent upgrades.

After a hard morning, it was already noon. Jiang Ran was about to go back to Sunny Town for lunch and a nap, but he found an acquaintance riding a horse towards the Sangbei Wasteland.

Jiang Ran walked to the middle of the road and exposed himself to the other party. When the other party saw Jiang Ran, he slowed down the speed of the horse in embarrassment, and finally slowly stopped in front of Jiang Ran.

"Grandma Cathy, I didn't expect that you could still ride a horse so elegantly at your age." Jiang Ran greeted this acquaintance with a smile.

"Hehehe... I really saw a ghost in broad daylight, Banning, can you pretend you didn't see anything?"

Grandma Cathy had no intention of hiding anything. She changed her previous stumbling movements and jumped off the horse with a more agile movement than that of an eighteen-year-old boy.

6.19 - Warhorse Heavy Knight (nd update)

"Of course, Grandma Cassie, I will always be your friend." Jiang Ran made a promise to Grandma Cassie in the most sincere tone.

After spending so much time together, Jiang Ran felt that Grandma Cassie was a friend worth associating with. Whether it was her experience as a "Level 67 Mercenary Master", or her experience as a "Level 12 Gatherer" and "Level 14 Pharmacist", these were all knowledge that Jiang Ran wanted very much.

What's more, Grandma Cassie also has information about the "Earth Ghost", which is a clue closely related to the "Only Demon God".

Considering that today was the second day since Jiang Ran asked Grandma Cassie to provide false information to the underground ghosts, Jiang Ran could tell where she was going even without using mind reading skills as she rode her horse alone at such a high speed.

·

"Banning, you don't seem surprised to see me. How much do you know?"

Grandma Cassie didn't leave in a hurry, but chatted with Jiang Ran while drinking water.

"Haha, it's just a vague feeling. Grandma Cathy, you look like no ordinary person."

"Okay, then I'll trust you this time, but aren't you curious about why I'm hiding my strength?"

Grandma Cassie was a straightforward person. In just a few words, she broke the embarrassment of having her secret discovered and started chatting with Banning easily.

"I'm indeed curious, but I don't dare to ask. If Grandma Cassie is willing, I'm all ears." Jiang Ran answered with a smile. He would not become casual just because of Grandma Cassie's easygoing attitude.

Knowing other people's secrets often involves risks.

"Hehe, it's better not to tell you my secret... But I can give you a piece of advice: powerful power always brings disaster. Being an ordinary grandmother is the best!"

After listening to Grandma Cathy's words, Jiang Ran nodded and agreed with her.

Power, strength, wisdom and wealth, too much of any of them will lead to disaster. This is almost an inevitable law.

·

Since Grandma Cassie didn't want to elaborate, Jiang Ran didn't ask any more questions. However, Jiang Ran still wanted to "care" about Grandma Cassie's future.

"Grandma Cassie, after you find your family and reunite with them, will you return to Sunny Town?" Jiang Ran asked.

"Of course I will go back. I can't bear to leave everyone in the caravan."

Grandma Cassie laughed heartily. Seeing her heroic look, Jiang Ran felt that it would be no problem for her to live to be 100 years old.

"What about the 'Earth Ghost'? Is it okay that you betrayed it like this?"

This question is actually what Jiang Ran really wants to ask.

Jiang Ran originally thought that after asking this question, the conversation would become serious, but unexpectedly, Grandma Cassie still looked very relaxed.

"Of course it doesn't matter. If it would cause trouble, why would I betray it for you? Is it just for your handsome face?"

After that, Grandma Cathy burst into laughter again.

From Grandma Cassie's perspective, she didn't know Banning's true strength, nor did she know the intricate relationship between Banning and the Fortune Telling Rabbit Spirit. Therefore, if necessary, she would bypass Banning and cooperate directly with the Fortune Telling Rabbit Spirit.

And if Grandma Cassie really did that, then it would be difficult for Banning to explain.

"Then why do you work for the 'Earth Ghost'?" Jiang Ran asked again.

"You're asking even though you already know the answer."

Grandma Cassie gave a wry smile, and then told Jiang Ran the whole story about her relationship with the "Earth Ghost".

From the beginning, Grandma Cassie would work for the underground ghosts in the hope of obtaining information about her lost family members.

Now that she has the divination results given by the divination rabbit spirit, there is no need for her to "work" for the earth ghost against her conscience.

In addition, Grandma Cassie also told Jiang Ran that the true body of the Earth Ghost is in the Hell Abyss Empire, and the snakes it controls on the land of the Human Alliance are actually not a big threat, they are just messengers.

Most people are willing to "work" for the Earth Ghost out of profit, and only a few are members of the Snake Shadow Society. Therefore, even if Grandma Cassie betrays the Earth Ghost, there is nothing to worry about.

"Snake Shadow Society?"

"It's an organization founded by the Earth Ghost."

"Won't they hunt you down?"

"No, they're busy preparing for some 'big event'. I don't know the details. It's very mysterious."

Grandma Cassie did not hide anything, and Jiang Ran saw it clearly through his mind reading.

After saying this, Grandma Cathy was almost done resting.

She jumped on the horse, looking very heroic, truly a woman who is as good as a man.

Jiang Ran even had a feeling that if a real fight came up, Grandma Cassie, the level 67 Mercenary Master, might be stronger than Albert, the level 73 Curse Swordsman.

In the battles of the Prison Star World, experience and skills are more important than numerical victory or defeat.

"My boy, I hope we will have a chance to meet again!"

"Have a safe journey."

Grandma Cassie disappeared into the distance in a cloud of dust. After this farewell, I don’t know when we will meet again.

·

·

After watching Grandma Cassie leave, Jiang Ran was about to leave when he found someone else coming.

(What the hell? Everyone passing through the Sangbei Wasteland is rushing here today, right?)

Jiang Ran didn't want to pay attention, but the luxurious appearance of the visitor caught his attention.

Amidst the billowing dust raised by the sound of horse hooves, a heavily armored knight was galloping towards Jiang Ran.

Shining silver-white armor, a thick and sturdy square shield with borders, a long-handled warhammer that is exaggerated in shape but also practical... Even before using his identification ability, Jiang Ran could tell that this person was willing to spend money on equipment.

Looking at the warhorse under his crotch, it also has the same equipment style. In addition to the silver and white armor, there is also a circle of bright white satin around the bottom of the armor.

With this whole set, the appearance of the heavily armored knight is majestic, imposing and gorgeous.

Of course, there are also flashy ones.

Jiang Ran had already lost his favor towards him before he even approached. Once he was within a certain distance, Jiang Ran was able to identify him.

━━━━━━━━━━

Pride, male, 32 years old, Captain of the First Cavalry Squadron of the Cuilin City Cavalry Regiment

HP: 5827 / 5827

Stamina: 937 / 1211

Mana: 1090 / 1090

Production occupation: None

Manufacturing Occupation: Blacksmith - Lv6

Combat Class: Warhorse Heavy Knight - Lv50

Skill: 2 / 2

━━━━━━━━━━

As soon as he saw the numbers, Jiang Ran noticed the imbalance. The 'Warhorse Heavy Knight' seemed to be an impact-type meat shield that focused on vitality and defense. As for its output capacity, it was still unclear for the time being.

Recalling the previous "Level 73 Cursed Swordsman Albert", although he only had less than 5000 health points, his endurance and magic power were two to three times that of this Warhorse Heavy Knight.

(The type of combat profession has a significant impact on the tendency of numerical growth.)

Jiang Ran wanted to take another look at the stats of this guy's warhorse. At this moment, the heavy knight on the warhorse reined in his horse and stopped abruptly, circling slowly near Jiang Ran.

"Hey, young man over there, come and lead the way for me."

The Warhorse Heavy Knight gave Jiang Ran the order as if it was a matter of course.

Perhaps, in the Prison Star world, knights are superior to civilians, but Jiang Ran does not intend to abide by this "custom".

"No time, I'm in a hurry to go back for dinner."

Jiang Ran turned around and left without even looking back.

6.20 - Cavalry Captain Pride (rd update)

"How dare you! How dare you refuse me?!"

The heavy cavalryman immediately rode his horse to stop Jiang Ran and raised his long-handled war hammer to point at Jiang Ran's head.

Jiang Ran was not intimidated by him and glared back at him.

Such a tough attitude does not seem to be consistent with Jiang Ran's usual witty and low-key style. In fact, Jiang Ran did it on purpose.

After using mind reading to see the intention of the War Horse Heavy Knight, Jiang Ran decided to test the character of this "Captain of the First Cavalry Team of the Cuilin City Cavalry Regiment" first.

If it is garbage, then sort it out for recycling; if it is a person, then leave him a way out.
