Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

9.91 - Weapon Shop and Armor Shop (Part )

As everyone knows, Jiang Ran is not a gentleman.

So, since there is such a beautiful scenery in front of him, there is no reason for him not to see it.

However, he is not a villain, so he did not neglect the important things he should do.

While Viviana wasn't paying attention, Jiang Ran quietly poured the purification potion into the kettle in Viviana's room. All that was left was to wait for Viviana to drink the purification potion herself.

Now, the things that should be done have been done, but the things that shouldn't be done have not been done yet. However, Jiang Ran gave the owl an order and took off and left.

(Stupid Loli: Eh? Not a idiot? I'm mentally prepared to provoke you, so why don't you show me this?)

(Jiang Ran: Hmm? What kind of mental preparation?)

When Jiang Ran asked this question, the stupid loli was speechless. She couldn't say anything about self-destruction, so she had to pretend to be crazy and stupid to get away with it.

As for Jiang Ran, he certainly knew what the silly loli wanted to say, but he still knew clearly what to do and what not to do.

What's more, my magic power is almost exhausted. If I don't leave the Feiqi family manor, does I plan to meet her parents directly in Viviana's boudoir?

Just like that, this slightly heart-racing night came to an end peacefully amid the cooing of owls.

[Confession death countdown remaining: +19 days]

"Death Future Remaining: 2 Days"

━━━━━━━━━━

The next morning, Jiang Ran woke up and found a little bird and flew straight to the Feiqi family manor, and flew to the windowsill of Viviana's boudoir.

To ensure that Viviana could take in enough of the purification potion, he had to refill her potion before she woke up and drank water.

As for the thin pajamas that Viviana wore to sleep, Jiang Ran just reviewed them briefly.

After all, accidentally seeing something once, twice, three times, or four times is something that cannot be controlled.

After finishing this matter, Jiang Ran returned to the streets of Yanji City in a happy mood and had a decent breakfast after a long time. He then planned to use the time of "waiting for the purification potion to take effect" to repair and upgrade his equipment.

——Being able to spend a few days in a big city like Yanji City is really a luxury for Jiang Ran now.

·

As the rear country of the Human Alliance, the industry of the Kingdom of Wester is relatively balanced. Whether it is food production, material smelting or equipment manufacturing, all of these are done in an orderly manner.

Within the Kingdom of West, the five major families each have their own strengths and run their own businesses without interfering with each other.

The Green Lizard family's industry is mainly based on agriculture. They are not only the largest granary in the Kingdom of West, but also shoulder the responsibility of providing food and fodder to the war front.

The Feiqi family's main business is mineral mining and material smelting. The two mines located in the north and south can be said to be one of the lifeblood of their family.

The Snow Deer family's business has a "slightly" shady history, as their main source of income is animal husbandry, which was actually stolen from the werewolf clan by the first Snow Deer lord.

The remaining two major families are located in the northwest of the Kingdom of West. Jiang Ran has not had the opportunity to visit them in person yet. He only knows that they are called the "Lynx Family" and the "Raven Family" respectively.

Yanji City, where Jiang Ran is now, belongs to the Feiqi family and is the main city of the Feiqi family.

Because this place handles a large amount of mineral materials all year round, many skilled equipment craftsmen have chosen to settle down and open shops here.

This is also the reason why Jiang Ran chose to repair and upgrade his equipment here.

Can the craftsmen of Yanji City create equipment that surpasses the craftsmen of Sunny Town? Jiang Ran is very much looking forward to it.

·

·

For safety reasons, Jiang Ran chose to travel today by hiding in the shadows of passers-by.

After some inquiries, he learned that the most famous weapon shop in Yanji City was called "Flame" and the best armor shop was called "Ice".

Jiang Ran definitely wouldn't believe that there was no conflict between the two stores.

But these have nothing to do with Jiang Ran. All he wants is to get the weapons and equipment that suits his needs.

Considering that he was "more than capable of attacking but not capable of protecting himself", Jiang Ran chose to go to the armor store "Hanbing" first.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, he let go of the "passerby mount" and began to communicate face to face with the head master of the armor shop.

It has to be said that this master who makes a living in Yanji City has a much broader vision than those in Sunny Town. When Jiang Ran placed the third-level magic cores such as "Corruption-Detoxifying Poison Rat King Ge Rui", "Sand-Devouring Mad Scorpion" and "Goblin Fearless Warrior" on the table, the other party just praised the good materials and was not surprised.

[Note: The above materials can be found in "Sunny Town Chapter", "Unknown Cause of Death Chapter" and "Maze: Green Ghost Lair Chapter"]

Seeing this, Jiang Ran then displayed the fourth-order magic cores of the "Frost Wolf·Frozan", "Skeleton Shadow Mage", "Diamond Rock Statue" and "Lava Rock Statue". This time, the armor master·Han Bing was a little restless. He directly asked Jiang Ran, aren't these last two magic cores the magic cores of the monsters that the Feiqi family is bountying?

[Note: The Frost Wolf is from the "Maze: Green Ghost Lair" chapter, and the Skeleton Shadow Mage is from the "Werewolf King" chapter]

Jiang Ran smiled and nodded, then made a "hush" gesture to Master Han Bing, asking him to keep the secret for him.

Master Han Bing was indeed a man who had seen the world, and he quickly agreed. Jiang Ran then made a "real confirmation" of Master Han Bing through mind reading - if he didn't have the ability to read minds, he wouldn't have played such a big game.

Afterwards, Jiang Ran placed the eyeballs of the Frost Wolf Frozan on the table. These eyeballs were naturally cold and had not decayed even after being peeled off from the Frost Wolf's body for such a long time.

When Master Hanbing saw it, he immediately took it in his hands and examined it carefully. Just like the name of his armor shop, he was particularly obsessed with things with ice attributes.

Jiang Ran thought that it was a rare opportunity to prepare his equipment, so he took out the fifth-level magic core of the Fluorite Fairy Queen, Laerte, the sixth-level magic core of the Three-Eyed Raven King, and the three evil eyes.

[Note: The Three-Eyed Raven King witnesses Jiang Ran's trial of advancing from level 4 to level 5, which is from this chapter.]

Master Han Bing was completely unable to control his emotions this time. He held Jiang Ran's hand tightly on the spot and told Jiang Ran that he must, must, must handle these materials. He didn't want any wages or labor costs, and he could even pay Jiang Ran for it!

"Tell me, young man, how much money do you want for me to make equipment for you?!"

If Master Hanbing's apprentices heard this, they would probably think that their master had gone crazy.

Jiang Ran gladly accepted Master Han Bing's proposal. After all, he was the best armor master in Yanji City. As for the wages, Jiang Ran would not only not give less, but would also give double.

This "small amount of money" is still affordable for Jiang Ran now.

When it comes to spending money, he has no other major expenses except for making equipment.

·

After confirming the intentions of both parties, Master Hanbing began to conceive an equipment plan. Jiang Ran took the materials and magic cores away for the time being, because he still had to go to the weapon store "Flame" to bring some "little" shock to Master Lieyan.

How these materials and magic cores will ultimately be used in the repair, upgrade, and creation of equipment, Jiang Ran will make a decision after weighing the plans given by the two masters.

Now, before even reaching the weapon shop, Jiang Ran was already looking forward to it.

He couldn't wait to know what kind of surprises the craftsmen of Yanji City's level would bring him and what changes would occur in his next fighting style.

9.92 - Good news from the Feiqi family

After Jiang Ran arrived at the weapon shop "Flame", what happened was similar to what happened in the armor shop "Ice".

Weapon Master Lieyan was also shocked by the magic cores and materials brought by Jiang Ran. However, unlike Master Hanbing, Master Lieyan liked the magic core of the lava boulder statue. He said that he could feel the hot breath from this magic core.

"Young man, let me tell you, flames are the true meaning of everything. Fire attributes are the destiny of all weapons. The greatest magic in the world is explosive fire magic!"

Although Jiang Ran gradually couldn't understand what Master Lieyan was saying, he could see that Master Lieyan really loved weapons and his forging skills were top-notch.

So, after confirming the details with Master Lieyan, Jiang Ran asked him to sort out the design plan first, and then left the weapon shop with the materials and magic cores.

The reason why Jiang Ran took the materials away was that before he could officially start making the equipment, he needed to take the magic cores of the "Lava Monolith", "Diamond Monolith" and "Fluorite Fairy Queen Laerte" to meet the top leaders of the Feiqi family.

An ordinary person like him with no identity or background would not be trusted even if he talked his mouth off if he did not have a mountain of solid evidence to prove himself.

Taking advantage of the little time before lunch, Jiang Ran went to the shopping street and purchased a large amount of medicinal materials.

During the next few days in Yanji City, he could make potions whenever he had time, and at the same time improve the level of his manufacturing profession, "Pharmacist".

After that, Jiang Ran had a simple lunch, and then set off again, sneaking into the Feiqi family's manor again.

Unlike the previous two infiltrations, Jiang Ran had two new purposes for this infiltration, namely to confirm whether Viviana's abnormal state had been lifted, and to observe and find the reason why Viviana was in the abnormal state.

If Viviana was drugged by someone close to her and fell into an abnormal state, then this would be a great opportunity for Jiang Ran to follow the clues and obtain information about the mastermind behind the scenes.

After some secret observation, Jiang Ran obtained two pieces of information.

One piece of information is that Viviana's abnormal condition has been lifted, and the purification potion is as effective as ever;

Another piece of information was that there was no one around Viviana who wanted to harm her. In other words, she was not in an abnormal state because she was drugged.

(It seems there must be another opportunity... Anyway, as long as the abnormal state is resolved, I can visit the Feiqi family openly.)

Jiang Ran took a last look at Viviana sweating profusely in the martial arts training ground, and felt that this girl was really talented and hardworking. No wonder she had such accomplishments at such a young age.

Afterwards, he left the Feiqi family manor and went straight to the mission union branch in Yanji City.

·

Now that Viviana's abnormal condition has been resolved, Jiang Ran no longer needs to hide his whereabouts.

He walked into the mission union hall openly, and took off the commission that no team dared to take up until now.

"What? The Feiqi family's commission was revealed?"

"Who took it off?"

"The black-haired boy? Who is that guy?"

"I've never seen this guy before. Could he be a logistics worker for some big team?"

"He doesn't even have a team badge on him, how could he be a member of a big team? In my opinion, he's just some idiot who wants to show off, haha!"

"..."

The originally peaceful mission union hall suddenly exploded, with countless gazes as fiery as needles pricking Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran didn't care about this at all. It was natural for people to react with sarcasm and ridicule when he did such a conspicuous thing with his humble status.

Next, according to the process of the Task Union, Jiang Ran should have gone to the counter to handle the relevant procedures for accepting the commission, but he did not do so because he did not care not only about the reactions of others, but also about his achievements as a reward hunter.

The only thing he had to do now was to visit the Feiqi family with this commission as a stepping stone.

At sunset, in the Feiqi family's manor, Elder Rodrigo of the Red Prison and Elder Augusto of the Black Prison were watching the sunset and drinking tea together on the top of the mountain behind.

"Augusto, the rest of our lives are like this sunset, it will soon come to an end." Elder Yuhong said with emotion.

After hearing this, Elder Minghei smiled and gave a different opinion.

“If I could be like this sunset, and still bloom with such beauty at the end of my life, I would have no regrets.”

The same sunset scene gave different feelings to two people because of their different mindsets.

Under the current unfavorable situation of the Feiqi family, Elder Yuhong feels that the pressure is like a mountain pressing on his shoulders all day long, while Elder Minghei believes that everyone is still alive, and as long as people are not dead, there is still hope.

"Rodrigo, don't always think that you have to solve all the problems by yourself. The Scarlet Family is not just made up of you."

Elder Minghei stood up, patted Elder Yuhong on the shoulder, and continued, "While our injuries this time were a bad thing, it also allowed me to realize that the Feiqi Family isn't just made up of us two... I say, Rodrigo, since we're both old bones with one foot in the grave, why don't we try to send others on a quest?"

The Hell Red Elder Rodrigo snorted with a stern face and muttered that if there was someone who could be sent out, why would he have to look so miserable.

·

The implication of Elder Yu Hong's words was actually about the Task Union.

If Elder Minghei had not tried various ways to persuade him, he would never have agreed to go to the Task Union to issue the commission. Now, the commission has been issued, but no one dares to accept it, making the Feiqi family a joke on the commission bulletin board, which makes him very angry.

Elder Minghei could only say that the situation at the southern mine was indeed tricky. Even for the task union, which had branches in every country in the Human Alliance, it would take time to mobilize manpower.

"Rodrigo, please be patient and wait a little longer. It's only been a few days..."
