Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

━━━━━━━━━━

The next morning, Jiang Ran got up and went straight to the equipment shop of Master Lieyan and Master Hanbing.

Unlike the previous situation of crafting equipment in Sunny Town, the time required in Yanji City this time will be much shorter.

The reason for this difference is that the scale of Yanji City and Sunny Town is different.

Although Sunny Town, located in the territory of the Bilisha Family, is a qualified town, it is far inferior to Yanji City, the main city of the Feiqi Family, in every aspect.

The two equipment stores, "Flame" and "Ice", that Jiang Ran commissioned this time, are located in Yanji City. Naturally, they can enjoy the advantages of labor, materials, and equipment at the main city level, which are not available in Sunny Town and cannot be compared with.

For example, when making a sword, the craftsmen in Sunny Town need to start by smelting the materials from pig iron, while the craftsmen in Yanji City can skip the materials stage and directly use the already smelted metal for forging.

The same applies to other aspects. So, something that requires waiting for three to five days in Sunny Town, Jiang Ran can see the finished product only the next day in Yanji City.

After arriving at the street where the weapons and equipment store was located, Jiang Ran just happened to see Master Lieyan coming out of the store to get some fresh air.

It was just dawn and the only two equipment stores open on the entire street were "Flame" and "Ice". Jiang Ran knew clearly that these two craftsmen who had been competing with each other secretly must have found helpers to work overnight in order to create better quality equipment earlier than the other.

Now that he had seen Master Lieyan first, Jiang Ran walked over and asked about the situation on Master Lieyan's side.

·

As soon as Master Lieyan saw that it was "Banning" who came, an excited smile immediately appeared on his tired face.

"You've come just in time! I have something good to show you!"

Master Lieyan said as he took Jiang Ran's hand and dragged him away. After entering the weapon shop, the two of them walked directly through the counters and shelves and came to the workshop inside the store. Here, Jiang Ran saw more than a dozen craftsmen working hard. The scale of this workshop was not comparable to that of Sunny Town.

"Here! Take a look! This thing was forged just as the sun rose, and we've decided to name it the 'Sunrise Necklace'!"

Master Lieyan handed over an exquisite and luxurious golden-red necklace as he spoke. Jiang Ran reached out to take it. As soon as he held it in his hand, he felt the necklace generating heat from the inside out. It was magical.

The "Xuhui Necklace" that Jiang Ran is holding in his hand now was originally the "Big Black Jade Necklace" that Jiang Ran obtained in the "Tower" of "Endless Abyss·Mishasha".

The original effect of the 'Big Black Jade Necklace' was to reduce the magic power consumption of the wearer's native skills by 10%. Now, Master Lieyan has incorporated a portion of the 'Magic Core of the Lava Monolith' into its original form to inject the fire element, and then added a variety of materials such as the flame sac of the Flame Lizard and the flame fangs of the Scorching Porcupine to assist in reforging it, which has made its effect a qualitative leap.

The current "Xuhui Necklace" not only still reduces the wearer's original skill's mana consumption by 10%, but also provides fire resistance, and even has a new skill!

The effect of the new skill is that the "Xuhui Necklace" can create a flame barrier that can absorb fire magic below a certain power!

"How is it? I hope I don't disappoint you, young man?" Master Lieyan asked with a hearty laugh.

"Master Lieyan, you are so modest. How could I be disappointed? I am so overjoyed!"

Jiang Ran's answer was full of praise, and even Master Lieyan felt it was a bit exaggerated.

However, it was normal for Master Lieyan to think it was an exaggeration, because what he had just said about the skills of the "Xuhui Necklace" was actually not complete - he himself did not know how good the equipment he had created was.

The appraiser that Master Lieyan temporarily found was unable to identify all the information about the "Xuhui Necklace", but Jiang Ran's super-dimensional divine eyes would not miss anything. The reason why Jiang Ran praised him so much was because he saw the part that Master Lieyan did not know.

·

Jiang Ran clearly saw that the "Sunrise Necklace" also had a set effect called "Sunrise's Glow".

As long as you equip the "Sunrise Necklace" and two "Sunrise Bracelets" at the same time, you can activate the effect of this set. This set effect not only greatly increases the magical power that the Flame Barrier can absorb, but also can convert the absorbed fire magic into attack magic and then emit it.

In order to obtain the effect of this set, Jiang Ran immediately took off the two "Magic Amplification Bracelets" on his wrists. These two bracelets, like the previous "Black Jade Necklace", were also trophies obtained from the "Skeleton Shadow Mage", the boss monster of the "High Tower".

Jiang Ran handed the two bracelets to Master Lieyan, hoping that he could use the same forging method to process the two bracelets.

If Jiang Ran's guess is correct, these two magic amplification bracelets will be processed into the other two parts of the "Sunrise's Glory" set by Master Lieyan.

"Master Lieyan, if you find it difficult, please tell me and we can try another processing method."

"Difficult? There's no such word in my dictionary!"

Jiang Ran's provocation worked. Master Lieyan, who was originally happy but also a little tired, immediately became motivated. After taking the two bracelets, he immediately started to tinker with them with other craftsmen.

Jiang Ran, who was standing by, knew that it was not appropriate to disturb them anymore, so he quietly left the workshop, and then walked a few steps into Master Han Bing's shop not far away.

·

Due to the special circumstances this time, Jiang Ran did not entrust the two craftsmen with the "weapons" and "armor".

Just like the "Xuhui Necklace" that Master Lieyan just gave to Jiang Ran is not a weapon, Master Hanbing will not just stick to protective gear.

The only thing they both insisted on was their own styles. Master Flame would not get involved in crafts that had nothing to do with fire, and Master Ice would never give up his pursuit of ice.

After Jiang Ran entered Master Han Bing's shop, he found that there was no one behind the counter. Just as he was about to leave, footsteps were heard from the inner room, and then Master Han Bing, looking sleepy, walked out.

"Oh my... sorry, sorry. I'm really tired now that I'm old, so I couldn't help but let everyone take a nap."

Master Han Bing was groping for something in his work clothes pocket as he spoke. After searching for a long time, he finally took out a pair of things that looked like earrings from his pocket and handed them to Jiang Ran.

"Look at this. I rushed out this thing overnight and haven't even had time to ask an appraiser to verify its craftsmanship. I don't know if it will meet your standards."

Listening to Master Hanbing's extremely humble words, Jiang Ran secretly felt in his heart that the two masters, Lieyan and Hanbing, were completely opposite in character.

And since Jiang Ran used the word "modest" to describe it at this time, the earrings and pendants delivered by Master Han Bing would naturally not be too bad.

However, at the beginning, Jiang Ran was actually a little "scared" by the shape of the eyeballs on the earring pendant.

This strange style of design can be said to be the ornaments of demons or evil spirits.

However, after identifying the information of this pair of earrings named "Cold Moon", Jiang Ran no longer cared about the evil and weird appearance. As long as this pair of earrings can be formed into a set, it will definitely not lose to the "Sunrise's Glory" set...!

9.128 - Second visit

Unlike the 'Xuhui Necklace' which was forged based on the 'Big Black Jade Necklace', the 'Hanyue Earrings' were created from scratch by Master Hanbing.

In this pair of earrings, Master Hanbing mainly used the eyeballs of the "Frost Wolf · Frozahn" as the enchantment material, and the magic core of the "Frost Wolf · Frozahn" was naturally indispensable in the core.

Forged by the skillful hands of Master Hanbing, the power of the "Frost Wolf Frozan" was awakened in this pair of small earrings. Jiang Ran learned through his identification ability that as long as he wears this pair of earrings, he can use the passive skill called "Frost Body".

The effect of the passive skill "Frost Body" is that every time Jiang Ran uses the skill, he will release an ice ring impact centered on himself, causing certain magic damage to surrounding targets and has a small probability of freezing the target.

However, although it is a passive skill, Ice Ring Shock also has a triggering cooldown time, and continuous casting type skills will only trigger Ice Ring Shock once, so there is no loophole in the rules.

Just like the ‘Sunrise Necklace’ has the set effect ‘Sunrise’s Radiance’, the ‘Cold Moon Earrings’ can also trigger the set effect called ‘Cold Winter Moon’ as long as three pieces of the set equipment are complete.

The effect of the "Cold Winter Moon" set is that the passive skill "Ice Ring Impact" will add a layer of "Frost Mark" to the target every time it hits the target and it will last for a period of time.

When the "Frost Mark" is stacked to five layers, as long as the target's level is lower than Jiang Ran, the target will be immediately frozen for a period of time.

When Jiang Ran saw this skill description, his heart was filled with joy.

The freezing effect is a noble and tough control ability, and it is also a range freeze, which is extremely useful.

Following the "Beast Horn Giant Sword", Jiang Ran finally gained a powerful control ability, which gave him more choices in combat methods in the future.

What makes Jiang Ran even more excited is that the rules for the freezing effect are based on Jiang Ran, the wearer. In other words, this set of equipment will not gradually become useless as Jiang Ran's strength grows.

The stronger Jiang Ran is, the more effective this equipment will be.

Now, in order to obtain the "Cold Winter Moon" set effect, Jiang Ran needs to get two other rings in addition to the "Cold Moon Earrings", namely "Cold Star Ring" and "Cold Star Ring".

Unfortunately, the identification ability cannot tell Jiang Ran how to obtain or forge the other two rings. Jiang Ran has to use his own brain to figure out what to do next.

"Master Hanbing, the earrings you created are truly exquisite. They are in no way inferior to the 'Xuhui Necklace' that Master Lieyan just gave me!"

Jiang Ran first praised Master Han Bing and took the opportunity to stimulate his confrontational psychology, and then in the next sentence he revealed what he really wanted to say.

"But unfortunately, the 'Sunlight Necklace' crafted by Master Lieyan comes with a pair of 'Sunlight Bracelets' to complete the set. I wonder if Master Hanbing can imitate the style of this pair of earrings and create a pair of rings to complete the set?"

·

After listening to the boy's request, Master Hanbing smiled slightly.

Given his age and experience, he easily saw through the boy's true intentions and the provocation.

However, although Master Hanbing understood all this, he did not resist taking the bait of this young man, because having such an opportunity to compete with the old man Lieyan was exactly what Master Hanbing wanted.

"Haha, of course. It's just a pair of rings. I can give it to you tomorrow."

Master Hanbing nodded in agreement, as if he had forgotten the fatigue of working all night.

At this time, the young man handed a ring to Master Hanbing, saying that the ring was called "Black Jade Ring·Resident in the Shadow", and asked if it could be used directly for processing, saving Master Hanbing time and energy.

After Master Han Bing took it, he placed the beautiful black jade ring in front of his eyes and observed it carefully for a while, then returned the ring.

"This ring is incompatible with the Frost Wolf Frozahn. Forging it with it would actually take more time and effort... Young man, don't worry. You'll definitely get what you want tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, Master Han Bing couldn't help but yawn. He was really tired and sleepy now.

Seeing that Master Hanbing was tired, the boy stopped disturbing him and left Master Hanbing's armor shop.

After returning to the street, Jiang Ran was still excited.

Next, as long as he has the "Sunrise Glow Set" and the "Winter Cold Moon Set", his combat capability will undoubtedly be able to reach a higher level.

Moreover, whether it is the "Sunrise Glow Set" or the "Winter Cold Moon Set", these two sets are all easy-to-wear equipment such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings, which are very convenient for Jiang Ran's shadow clone to use.

When Jiang Ran was using the shadow clone to fight before, he had always been troubled by the same problem.

Since the shadow clones cannot use combat professional skills, Jiang Ran can only let them use equipment skills. Among them, the most frequently used ones should be "Yan Mo Knight Sword·Lanzel" and "Beast Horn Greatsword·Comono".

However, although it is easy to give equipment such as swords and knives, most of the equipment is actually not so easy for the shadow clone to use, such as the "Shadow Dragon Boots·Ghost" and so on.

If Jiang Ran had to take off his shoes and cloak to give to the black shadow clone during the battle, then once the black shadow clone was defeated, Jiang Ran would have to look all over the world for shoes and cloak, which would be extremely embarrassing.

Therefore, Jiang Ran has always wanted to expand the range of equipment that can be used by the black shadow clone, and this time he finally has the opportunity.

Just imagine that there are two shadow clones, each equipped with the "Sunrise Radiance Set" and the "Winter Moon Set". At that time, a huge whirlwind of ice and fire will surely blow on the battlefield!

(I can’t wait any longer… but there’s no point in being anxious. I should go and fulfill my promise to Vivian first.)

Jiang Ran patted his cheeks to wake himself up from his fantasy.

He had promised Viviana last night that he would tell the Feiqi family that the Snake Shadow Society's stronghold, which they suspected was hidden in the ruins of the Wakeno volcano, had now disappeared.

As for the matter of the sensory rune stone and the demon baron's underground palace, Jiang Ran didn't intend to let anyone know for the time being. He would have to wait until he had fully explored this secret place before he could reveal it to the public...

Or maybe, it will not be announced until Jiang Ran is buried.

·

Not long after, Jiang Ran arrived at the gate of the Feiqi family manor.

Relying on the Feiqi family badge given to him by the dark elder Augusto, Jiang Ran had a smooth journey and soon entered the interior of the Feiqi family manor.

At the same time, two pairs of "eyes" have quietly stared at Jiang Ran. These two pairs of "eyes" belong to the Red Prison Elder Rodrigo and the Black Prison Elder Augusto.

"Augusto, do you think he will agree to 'that thing'?" Elder Yuhong put away his 'breath perception' and asked Elder Minghei beside him.

"He will agree. If he doesn't, then we'll pay more."

Elder Minghei said it calmly because he was short of money and had no ability to pay.

Since the person who was going to pay was Elder Yu Hong, he certainly didn't feel bad at all.

9.129 - The calculations of the two elders

The reason why Elder Yuhong and Elder Minghei wanted to find Banning was not complicated. All they wanted was for Banning to name a price and sell his "teleportation" and "shadow clone" skills to the Feiqi family.

Ever since they saw Banning use these two skills in the "Maze: Green Ghost Lair" last time, the two elders have been thinking about it and wanting to find an opportunity to incorporate these two skills into the Feiqi family, especially the skill of "teleportation", which they almost "robbed" from Banning directly.

In the Prison Star world, where there are many combat professionals, the research on "skills" has reached a certain depth. Although each skill has its advantages, it is inevitable that there are still some skills that have a strong position in most situations.

"Teleportation" type skills are one of those powerful skills. No matter what type of combat profession, they all hope to have such an excellent displacement skill that can "attack or escape".

Generally speaking, there are five indicators to measure whether a teleportation skill is good or not, namely:

The time required to activate the skill;

distance that can be moved;

How much mana is consumed;

The cooldown of the skill itself;

And whether the skill is a "native skill" or an "equipment skill".

Based on the observations of the Red and Black Elders, they believed that Banning's teleportation skill was basically instantaneous, with a moving distance of about ten meters, and the magic power consumption should not be much, and the cooling time was about one minute.

As for whether it was the "native skills" brought by the combat profession or the "equipment skills" provided by the equipment, the two elders preferred the former because they did not see any particularly conspicuous good equipment on Banning.

If Banning's teleportation skill was not a native skill but an equipment skill, then the price would probably have to be increased by a zero... because compared to native skills that need to be sealed on skill stones, equipment skills are much more convenient.

Overall, although Banning's teleportation skill cannot be considered top-notch, considering its subsequent growth potential, it is still worth the Feiqi family's efforts.
