Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

"Great! Which team went hunting? Could it be that Nassar came back early?"

"No, no... It was a newcomer named 'Banning' who hunted here before. He also asked me to tell you to meet at the 'old place' in an hour."

"Ah? Banning? The young man who came with the golden emblem of the Scarlet Qi family?"

"Yes, it's him."

"I really didn't expect this..."

Oleg pondered for a moment. He had a lot of thoughts in his mind at this time, but he still looked at the time first to make sure he had time to meet this incredible young man.

"Emilia, did Banning say anything else to you?"

"He asked me not to tell anyone about this."

"Oh……"

Oleg nodded. He admired the boy's low-key style.

"Emilia, I'm going to be out for a bit. You can remove the Dryad quest from the lobby quest board now."

"Ok."

It had been a long time since Oleg had come to this tavern in broad daylight.

The day-to-day life in Sunnytown made him feel that his heart might stop beating before his body died of old age.

However, Banning's appearance made him excited again after a long time.

A first-level combat profession, below level 20, one person, and four tree demon monsters above level 30, this is really crazy!

What kind of playing style did Benning use?

It must be fire attack. The best way to deal with tree monsters is fire, but ordinary fire is not enough. The monster tree monsters have a certain resistance to fire. Most people give up before they actually catch fire.

Benning looks very young, does he have experience in this area?

In addition, the tree monster's roots and vine attacks are also very deadly. If you are not a heavy-armored combat profession, a first-level combat profession will be equivalent to death once hit. This is like dancing on the edge of a knife!

The more he thought about it, the more curious Oleg became about how Banning had done it.

In such anticipation, he finally waited for Banning's arrival.

"Branch Chief, I didn't expect you to arrive so early."

"Hahaha, after hearing about your deeds, I can't sit still anymore!"

Oleg took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with Banning. After shaking hands, Oleg became more convinced of his judgment that Banning's hands were the hands of someone who had been in combat for a long time.

After the two sat down, Oleg took the initiative to hand over the reward for the commission and the "Meditation Ring" as a prize to Banning, and asked Banning if he could do anything for him?

Banning was also very straightforward and told Oleg directly that he needed two favors.

"Regarding my extermination of the tree demon, please keep it a secret for me, Branch Head. You can do whatever you want with this achievement, but I still want a reward."

"Also, I want to make a bow, and I hope the branch chief can recommend me the best craftsman in Sunny Town."

After hearing this, Oleg readily agreed, but he also had a small request, which was that he hoped Banning could repeat to him the battle process last night.

Although Oleg's body is old, his fighting spirit is still there, and even just listening to the process can make him feel satisfied.

Banning generously recounted last night's battle. Oleg was satisfied after listening to it, and he had a further affirmation of Banning's strength.

Oleg knew very well that if people told others about how Banning fought last night, many would say, "I could do that too." But in reality, if ten people really did that, ten would die, and not one would come back alive.

——(I really want to thank you, Viviana, for recommending such an excellent person to me...)

——(For the long-term peace of Sunny Town, I must keep him here no matter what...!)

·

Afterwards, at Oleg's invitation, he took Banning to an old acquaintance's weapons shop.

The branch chief of the mission union personally brought people to forge weapons. This level of treatment made the craftsman pay special attention to it. He promised Banning that the work would be completed within five days and he would definitely forge a good bow that would not disappoint him!

"Sir, I will take my leave and return to the guild."

"Okay, thank you so much today, Branch Chief."

Banning watched Oleg leave, and then...

He also slowly walked towards the Task Union.

(Benni: Eh? Since we're all trying to piss off the Task Force, why don't you just go with the branch chief?)

(Jiang Ran: Of course, it’s because I want to do something shameful.)

4.16 - Emilia's Life (Part ) (Update)

Jiang Ran found a hotel outside the Mission Guild and stayed there. Through the window of the room, he could just see the gate of the Mission Guild.

Completing the "Tree Demon Mission" that is difficult for the guild is Jiang Ran's first step in conquering Emilia, and each subsequent step will be more difficult than the first.

Jiang Ran was standing at the window thinking about his next move. At this time, the silly loli couldn't help but ask a question.

(Benni: Teacher Jiang, I’m a little confused…)

(Jiang Ran: Hmm?)

(Benny: Is the current capture target still similar to Emilia?)

(Jiang Ran: Yes.)

(Benny: Then why didn't you show off in front of her after you completed the task of provoking the tree demon?)

(Jiang Ran: Showing off will only cause resentment. The more low-key I am, the more curious she will be.)

(Benny: Oh! So that's how it is! So we're just standing here now, planning to wait until she finishes work before inviting her out for dinner?)

The stupid loli's question left Jiang Ran speechless for a long time. He felt that it was a waste of time for this stupid girl to follow him for a month.

(Jiang Ran: Prigok Nissen...you are truly the worst student I have ever taught.)

(Benny: Eh?)

(Jiang Ran: Let me ask you, what’s the first tip for pursuing a girl?)

(Benni: Uh… Um… Emm… Ah! Now I remember! Women don’t seem to win by chasing, they seem to win by attracting!)

Although the silly loli remembered the knowledge she had learned before, she had no idea how to attract Emilia while staying in this hotel.

Jiang Ran was too lazy to teach the stupid loli any more and started to act directly.

He put all the materials he had bought in advance on the table, and soon he cut out a cute little golden fox with a smile on its face.

Then, Jiang Ran stuck the little fox on the wall outside the window. At this location, Emilia had a certain chance of seeing it when she passed by on her way to and from get off work.

(Benny: Oh, so that's how it is!)

The silly loli sighed as if she had suddenly been enlightened, and looked as if she understood, but... she still didn't understand, but she was too embarrassed to ask again for the sake of face.

On the other side, after Jiang Ran had pasted the little fox, he sat down and confirmed the reward for this mission.

━━━━━━━━━━

Item Name: Meditation Ring

Item effect:

1. Wearing requirements: Strength 9, Dexterity 9, Wisdom 9;

2. If the wearer's attributes do not meet the requirements, wearing it will have no effect;

3. When the wearer's attributes meet the requirements, all attributes will increase by 5 points, and the magic recovery speed in the sleeping state will be increased by 1 point/minute;

━━━━━━━━━━

(The attribute is optional... The increased mana regeneration speed is good, but it's a fixed value, not a percentage.)

To Jiang Ran, the effect of the ring itself can only be described as mediocre, but he can learn a lot of useful knowledge from the "rules" implied in it.

This was the first time Jiang Ran saw equipment with wearing requirements. Since a ring could have attribute requirements, other equipment was probably similar.

The reason why his own bow and sword gauntlet were not displayed was probably because there was no requirement to wear them.

In the future, Jiang Ran will be able to judge the quality of equipment through identification ability, and after the super-dimensional divine eye is upgraded again, he may even be able to see the attack power, defense power and so on.

·

·

Jiang Ran put on the meditation ring, moved a chair and sat down by the window.

——『Combat Class Skill "Focus - Lv2" has been activated and is currently in effect...』

After the battle with the Fir Tree Demon, Jiang Ran changed his strategy for brushing up his skills.

He will now spend a day brushing "Heart of Concentration" and then a day brushing "Trickster", because the "Dexterity" attribute will be a very necessary ability for him to challenge the "Trial" alone in the future.

Jiang Ran was watching the situation outside the window while brushing up his skills. Not long after, he confirmed that his "Heart of Concentration" had been upgraded from Lv2 to Lv3.

Correspondingly, Jiang Ran's agility attribute increased by 10 points, and his maximum endurance also increased by 10 points.

━━━━━━━━━━

Jiang Ran

Vitality 89/150

Stamina 90/134

Magic 460/860

━━━━━━━━━━

Jiang Ran's goal was to improve his agility by mastering the "Concentration" skill, so that his running speed and endurance could be at least as fast as a warhorse. In addition, his instantaneous explosive power had to be at least comparable to that of a cat.

The reason for setting such a goal is that Jiang Ran had previously confirmed with Oleg, the branch chief of the Task Union:

Only humans and the equipment they wear can enter the trial gate, which means that Jiang Ran cannot participate in the trial on a motorcycle.

Therefore, in the coming days, Jiang Ran will focus on conquering Emilia, supplemented by improving her skills.

After receiving Emilia's confession, he will decide how to choose the difficulty of the "Trial" based on the result of the "Future Death Screen".

Yes, that's right. When Jiang Ran heard the death rate of the "Trial", he already had an idea in his mind.

As long as he didn't die in the trial in the "future death scene", it meant that he could pass the trial - the use of "predicting future death" was not just to avoid death.

But now, getting Emilia's confession is no easier than passing the "Trial"...

Jiang Ran only has 8 days left.

·

Emilia's situation is different from Wei'er's.

Wei'er has lived in Ella Village for many years, where information is cut off and the village is simple;

Emilia lives in a town and works in a quest guild. She is well-informed and meets many people.

In order to attract Emilia, Jiang Ran had to first leave an impression on her, then get to know her secretly, and then adopt targeted strategies.

On the evening of his first meeting with the branch chief Oleg, Jiang Ran made an "unwelcome request" to Oleg.

[See 4.11 - Delegated Tasks]

[img=700,405]https://rss.sfacg.com/web/novel/images/UploadPic/2022/11/a6ae2f61-caa0-4de0-a5f4-2d2134acacb1.jpg[/img]

The specific content of the "unwelcome request" is:

1. Ask Emilia if she is single currently?

2. Consult Emilia about her background.

Although Oleg was a little surprised, he answered the question as Jiang Ran wished.

First of all, Emilia is currently single and has never had any relationship experience before.

Secondly, regarding Emilia's life experience, it has some connection with Oleg.
