Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

What an obsession;

What a meticulous thought;

What an executive power;

(But…if I can take advantage of this situation, it would be the perfect opportunity to launch a counterattack against this ‘unknown enemy’.)

"It's great to see you all again! Tokini, have you been eating meat well every day~?"

Now was not the time to think. Jiang Ran displayed his usual superb acting skills and happily greeted everyone in the traveling caravan.

"Report to my brother! Tokini won't eat meat for every day she hasn't seen me! So Tokini hasn't eaten meat for many days!"

"You little rascal, how can you blame me for not eating meat? It's obviously you who don't like meat!"

As long as Tokini is there, the caravan will always be filled with joy.

In such a lively reunion atmosphere, Jiang Ran was already prepared to investigate Grandma Cassie.

If this isn't done right, it could be a foolish act that could lead to your own death.

"Good night, then, Banning."

"Good night, Mr. Malick."

Malik said goodbye to Jiang Ran and left, leaving only Jiang Ran and Tochini in the hotel room.

Jiang Ran never imagined that the ambition he had just set an hour ago had been forced to vanish into thin air - because Tochini insisted on sleeping with him no matter what.

It is not easy for Jiang Ran to hide it from Tokini and secretly go out to follow Grandma Cassie.

However, Jiang Ran was actually planning to give up following Grandma Cassie.

In Jiang Ran's opinion, Grandma Cassie was a level 67 mercenary lord with three unknown skills. If he rashly followed her, the distance would be too far and it would be meaningless; if he was too close, he would be easily discovered.

If we get discovered in the middle of the night, it would be hard to explain.

Therefore, Jiang Ran believed that it would be safer to obtain intelligence through the cooperation of mind reading and "tricksters".

"Brother! Brother! Come to sleep! Tokini has warmed your bed~!"

Looking at Tochini who was only wearing a small vest and shorts, Jiang Ran really couldn't get nervous at all.

He could only complain silently in his heart that it was summer now and warming the bed was actually meaningless.

However, it is indeed a nice experience to be able to hold a well-behaved, clingy, soft and fluffy bunny-like little girl while sleeping.

(Benni: Jiang Ran, you can remain silent, but I will record everything you do as evidence in court!)

Even the stupid loli's threat couldn't stop Jiang Ran and Tokini from sleeping together. Not long after, Tokini fell asleep sweetly.

Only then did Jiang Ran quietly get out of bed and sleep on the floor.

It's not that he feels guilty or has kidney deficiency, but it's just too hot to sleep with the furry Tokini in the summer.

[Prison Star Calendar]

October 187, 6

5:50 AM

[Confession death countdown remaining: 6 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

The next day, Jiang Ran arrived at Emilia's house earlier than yesterday and waited.

As for Tochini, she got up earlier than Jiang Ran because the caravan was going to Sunny Town to purchase goods today.

Jiang Er later realized that Tokini was more than just a mascot in the caravan - her method of acting cute and bargaining actually contributed a lot of profits to the Xunyou Caravan.

After a while, Jiang Ran waited for Emilia to appear.

Emilia tied her long hair into a high ponytail today, wearing a white round-necked shirt and khaki straight-leg trousers. Combined with her usual expressionless face, she looked really cool.

Jiang Ran followed Emilia all the way and found that she entered a bookstore, and it was not an ordinary bookstore, but a magic bookstore.

The bookstore was not big, so Jiang Ran thought about it and decided not to go in, but just waited outside.

Through the window, Jiang Ran noted down which bookshelves Emilia stopped at. When she went to work at the Quest Guild, Jiang Ran went into the magic bookstore to find out.

"Welcome... May I ask... what type... of... magic... book do you have?"

The bookstore owner was a little old man with rosacea, and he could hardly speak clearly.

When Jiang Ran saw his messy clothes and the empty wine bottle on the counter, he knew that the old man had not yet sobered up from his drunkenness.

"No need, I'll find it myself."

Jiang Ran walked straight to the bookcase where Emilia had just stopped, hoping to find a way to win her heart.

(First-order fire magic... Second-order fire magic...)

This entire cabinet is filled with books related to fire magic.

It seems that although Emilia changed her career to become a receptionist, the magician's heart is still there.

Speaking of fire magic, Jiang Ran couldn't help but think of...

——"Explode! Reality! Shatter! The spirit! Exile—this world!"

Oh no, I'm mistaken. It should be a Crimson Demon magician who only uses explosion magic and whose chant always ends with "Explosion!"

(What is Emilia's actual magic level? I really want to see it if I have the chance.)

Jiang Ran took out a book called "First-Level Fire Magic: Fireball" and wanted to take a look at it. Only then did he realize that all the magic books were locked with chains.

(Indeed, if it is not locked up, and someone sees it for nothing, then there is no need to sell it.)

Jiang Ran asked about the price. A copy of "First-Level Fire Magic: Fireball" cost 15 silver coins, which was equivalent to an ordinary person's monthly living expenses. It was shockingly expensive.

This little old man looks drunk, but he is actually very clear-headed.

In the end, Jiang Ran used his mind-reading and "trickster" skills to successfully bargain down the price to 7 silver coins, and gritted his teeth to buy a book.

(If buying a magic book could allow you to master magic, then the price wouldn't be that expensive...)

·

Back at the hotel, Jiang Ran put up a new little fox as usual, and then while monitoring the task union, he opened the "First-level Fire Magic: Fireball" with great interest.

As soon as he opened it, Jiang Ran was dumbfounded.

Why are there so many blank pages in this book?

A whole book without words?

This is impossible, right? I was actually deceived?

4.19 - Careless Consideration

Jiang Ran didn't believe it and flipped through the entire book, finally finding the secret on the back page of the cover.

On the back page of the cover, there is a line of text:

——『Please inject magic power to generate your own unique spell and magic circle.』

It turns out that the magic book needs to be infused with magic power before the magic construction formula and the corresponding magic circle will be revealed.

Jiang Ran imagined the feeling of releasing a skill and successfully injected magic power. After a few seconds, a line of text appeared on the title page of the book.

——『Exclusive content has been generated for you.』

Jiang Ran flipped through the book a few more times and found that there were indeed words and pictures in the book.

(So ​​that's how it is. Once you inject magic power into the book, it becomes yours.)

(Since it is a unique magic construction formula and magic circle, it is useless even if someone steals the book.)

Such an ingenious design made Jiang Ran sigh at the world's thorough protection of magic... However, he soon realized that he had misunderstood.

Knowledge is priceless, but pirating textual content is extremely cheap.

Since there are magic books, there must be institutions such as publishing houses and distributors.

The protection mechanism designed into the magic book is actually to prevent cheap piracy of the magic book or even free distribution.

However, these have nothing to do with Jiang Ran. Now that he has obtained the contents of the magic book, all that remains is verification.

As a junior assassin, could he use magic? Jiang Ran couldn't wait.

·

More than an hour later, Jiang Ran ended his exploration of magic.

So far, he has concluded that he can use magic, but he is not fully capable of using magic.

According to the teaching instructions in "First-Level Fire Magic: Fireball", if Jiang Ran wants to release Fireball, he needs to first chant the two thousand-word chanting lyrics in full, and during the chanting, he must follow the guidance of the chanting lyrics to accurately release magic power to construct the magic formula, and then generate the corresponding magic circle.

When all this was accomplished completely and accurately, Jiang Ran successfully lit up the magic circle in his hand, and then shot the generated fireball toward the sky outside the window.

The fireball disappeared without a trace after flying a certain distance in the air, and no innocent flying creatures were harmed.

The above is all that Jiang Ran gained after working so hard for half a day.

So, to sum it up in one sentence: magic can be used, but it cannot be used in actual combat.

However, Jiang Ran still found some useful information in the magic book:

First of all, once you awaken the combat class "Magician", you will definitely master the skill "Auto-chant".

According to the description in the magic book, the skill "Auto Chant" can record up to ten magic chants depending on the level, freeing magicians from the constraints of books and chants.

Secondly, the "Auto-Chant" skill also has the effect of accelerating the chanting. For example, Jiang Ran would have to read the chanting lyrics of "First-level Fire Magic: Fireball" with up to 10 words for more than ten minutes, while even the lowest level of "Auto-Chant" only takes seconds.

In other words, the "auto-chanting" skill is the foundation for magic to be used in actual combat. Before Jiang Ran can find an alternative to "auto-chanting", he will temporarily have no chance to use magic.

(As expected of a world of impossible difficulty… it’s really hardcore.)

·

That afternoon, the entrance of the Mission Union suddenly became bustling.

Jiang Ran looked down from the window and found that the young man named "Nasar" had returned.

━━━━━━━━━━

Nasar, male, 26 years old, cadre of the Mission Labor Union, Sanni Town Branch

Production occupation: None

Manufacturing occupation: None

Combat Class: Swordsman - Lv36

━━━━━━━━━━

(26 years old, level 36... Not bad, considered young and promising in this Sunny Town.)

Jiang Ran did not go downstairs. He could clearly see the situation of the Task Union from his hotel room.

The young man named Nasar is tall and strong, a sunny and lively boy.

He always has a warm smile on his face when he meets anyone, and he can naturally chat and laugh with others. Others are also very happy to talk to him, which shows that he manages interpersonal relationships very well.

If a novel were written with Sunny Town as the background, Nassar would undoubtedly be the type to be the male protagonist... This was Jiang Ran's initial judgment.

——"Among them is a young man named Nassar, who is eagerly pursuing Emilia."

Jiang Ran is now very glad that Emilia is a cold type of girl. If she were an ordinary girl, she would have become Nassar's girlfriend long ago.

Now, Jiang Ran only has 6 days left, and with Nasar as his rival in love, this situation is really...

(Benni: Jiang Yan... why are you still so calm? I feel like it might be too late this time!)

(Jiang Ran: Can being anxious solve the problem?)
