Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Jiang Ran gave a brief introduction and didn't intend to go into details.

If I try to explain the principles of refraction and imaging in this strange world of swords and magic, it would be a bit too "magical".

"Oh? Can a piece of glass actually have this effect?"

After hearing the young man's explanation, the jewelry master was eager to try. However, to accept this order, he still had one thing to confirm...

At this time, before the jewelry maker could speak, the boy bet a gold coin on the design drawing.

"Master, I know this is difficult to make, and firing glass is also quite expensive, so please keep this gold coin for now. I will add more funds when it is used up."

Looking at the glittering gold coins, the jewelry maker was a little astonished. The young man was dressed very simply, but he didn't expect him to be so generous.

You know, the jewelry master just wanted to collect 30 silver coins.

"Handsome boy, you gave too much. I can't accept so much from you."

"Master, I won't give you much, because I hope to get the first version of the prototype before June 6th."

"June 6th? Doesn't that only leave four days?"

"Yes, I wonder if you have the confidence?"

Hearing the boy's slightly provocative question, the jewelry master immediately became excited!

Since the customer has already given the complete drawings and paid a large sum of money, how can he, who is known as the best jewelry designer in Sunny Town, retreat?

"Handsome boy, I've got your order!"

·

Half an hour later, Jiang Ran walked out of the jewelry store full of anticipation.

The drawings he commissioned to the jewelry maker were actually the design drawings of the telescope.

However, whether it can be done in the end and what the effect is depends on the performance of the jewelry master.

Now, with the order he just placed, Jiang Ran’s savings were reduced to only a few dozen copper coins, which was not enough for him to purchase the materials for making the medicine tomorrow.

So, Jiang Ran covered his face and played himself for the first time, dressed up as an assassination-type reward hunter, and went to the task union to accept commissions to replenish his wallet.

In the mission guild, no one else recognized that the assassin was the recently famous "Banning", but Emilia was the only one who would not miss her "future boyfriend".

When Jiang Ran walked to the front desk to submit the documents, Emilia intentionally or unintentionally placed her hand on the back of Jiang Ran's hand, which made Jiang Ran tremble slightly as if he had been electrocuted.

"Mr. Banning, why are you suddenly here to take on this commission?" Emilia asked in a low voice.

Jiang Ran knew early on through his mind reading that Emilia had seen through his disguise, so he was not surprised that Emilia would ask him this. However, Emilia actually took the initiative to have physical contact with him in public, which made Jiang Ran's heart beat slightly faster.

"Recently... I mean, a while ago, the 'Sangbei Wasteland' incident caused Sunny Town to lose a lot of excellent reward hunters. I'm worried that the Quest Guild has too many commissions, so I came to appropriately resolve some of them."

Jiang Ran's ability to tell lies with open eyes was still as good as ever, and it sounded completely reasonable. By the way, he also improved his image in Emilia's heart again.

"So that's how it is. Thank you. The commissioning procedures have been completed. I look forward to your triumphant return."

Emilia completed the paperwork very neatly, and before Banning left, she stroked the back of Banning's hand intentionally or unintentionally, and then watched Banning leave.

As soon as Banning left the Task Union, Emilia immediately put up a "Temporary Break" sign at the front desk, then quickly walked into the archives room, closed the door, and her face flushed red. She pressed her hands tightly against her chest, fearing that her violently beating heart would jump out of her chest.

She was really frightened by her own bold action and had been holding back until now to release her shyness.

As for Jiang Ran, he was still a little confused until he walked out of the mission union.

Jiang Ran found it hard to believe. Was the person in the mission guild just now really Emilia?

How could she do something so bold in public?

If the situation continues to develop like this, and I go back to her house and stay alone with her, wouldn’t that be...!

5.18 - New Equipment (Second Update)

Jiang Ran made a mistake.

He had a preconceived notion about the "real Emilia".

The reason why Jiang Ran was so surprised by Emilia's performance was that the Emilia he first knew was not the real Emilia.

At that time, Emilia was still in a pseudo-autistic state after losing her parents.

Except for opening up a little to Branch Chief Oleg, she treats everyone else with almost no emotion.

But in recent days, Jiang Ran has unknowingly healed Emilia's emotional trauma.

In the past, Emilia had lost her parents as a source of spiritual support, so she isolated herself to avoid being hurt again.

And now, Emilia has Banning as her new spiritual support, so the real Emilia of the past has returned again.

She was a brave fox girl who dared to love and hate.

The problem now is that Emilia's true appearance is unfamiliar to Jiang Ran, so he is so surprised.

(Benni: Fufufufu... I didn't expect that, Jiang Yan, when a girl takes the initiative, you are so cowardly, hahahaha!)

The silly loli was laughing in Jiang Ran's head, but Jiang Ran ignored her because he was not a coward. Instead, he was worried that if Emilia was so proactive, it would be more difficult to say goodbye to her later.

In addition, the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred, which is also a potential "risk".

Until leaving Sunny Town, Jiang Ran had to control the "distance" between himself and Emilia.

·

In the next two days, Jiang Ran basically did not meet Emilia except for delivering the commissioned tasks.

Because of the increasingly busy work of the Task Union recently, Emilia couldn't find a chance to go to the hotel to meet Banning.

Then, time came to June 6, the day Jiang Ran and the craftsman agreed to pick up the new equipment.

When he woke up in the morning, Jiang Ran started by brushing up his skill proficiency as usual.

In the past two days, he has upgraded his skill "Calculation Power Enhancement" from level 6 to level 9, which has correspondingly increased his intelligence attribute by 30 points and his magic value by 300 points.

As long as he upgrades to the next level, the "computing power improvement" will unlock new entries, which makes Jiang Ran quite excited.

In addition, the manufacturing profession "Pharmacist" has also been upgraded to level 2, adding 1 point of wisdom attribute and 10 points of magic value.

Although the value is small, every bit is still a bit. Jiang Ran will not miss any opportunity to make himself stronger.

·

Soon, Jiang Ran arrived at the equipment store. Unexpectedly, there were more than a dozen craftsmen waiting in the store to greet him.

"Here he comes, this handsome guy is Banning."

"Wow, this guy is the one who made us work three shifts day and night for two days. I have to remember this face!"

"Hahahaha, this old man is excited again after a long time!"

"I'm really burning with passion, but I can't stand it anymore at my age, hahaha!"

"..."

All the masters had heavy dark circles under their eyes, and their faces showed signs of fatigue, but even so, their mental state at the moment was very excited, because the results of their two days would soon be personally inspected by the customers!

For craftsmen, nothing can make them happier than having their work recognized by customers!

"Thank you so much, Masters!"

Looking at these craftsmen who had tried their best in two days, Jiang Ran was grateful from the bottom of his heart. He was also very fortunate to have the ability to read minds. Otherwise, in this unfamiliar world of Prison Star, he would not be able to find such trustworthy craftsmen no matter how capable he was.

"Haha, don't thank me yet, take a look at the things first!"

The craftsman confidently presented an emerald green curved-blade dagger, which was slightly shorter than Jiang Ran's forearm.

The blade is curved, retaining the original shape of the "Corrupted Poison Claw of the Corrupted Poison Blade Rat King" to the greatest extent, and is full of murderous aura.

Looking at the flashing fluorescent green on the blade, Jiang Ran knew it was highly poisonous without the craftsman's explanation.

"The claws of this Corruption-Detoxifying Rat King are incredibly hard. They've worn out several of our grinding wheels. Furthermore, they're naturally poisonous, so you can use them as poison daggers without stoking them... Oh, and for safety's sake, we've also crafted a scabbard for you to use."

The craftsman's explanation did hit the nail on the head, but the information Jiang Ran saw using his identification ability was more complete.

━━━━━━━━━━

Equipment Name: Corrupted Dagger and Poison Claw

Equipment effect:

1. Equipment requirements: Strength 20, Dexterity 50; if the wearer's attributes do not meet the requirements, the equipment effect cannot be activated;

[Note: Jiang Ran's current attributes are Strength 30, Dexterity 115, and Wisdom 230]

2. Poison resistance +5;

3. Whenever Poison Claw hits a living target, there is a 30% chance of inflicting a poisonous state on the target. Each layer of poisonous state deals 3 damage per second and lasts until the target dies. The poisonous state can be stacked up to 5 times.

━━━━━━━━━━

"This is truly a masterpiece!"

Jiang Ran was very satisfied. He carefully grasped the handle and held it up to examine it carefully.

After actually holding it, Jiang Ran found that although this "Poison Claw" was not large in size, it felt very heavy in his hand. No wonder it required a high strength attribute.

In the light, the curved blade gleamed coldly and was sharper than Jiang Ran's previous willow-leaf dagger.

What Jiang Ran likes most is the toxicity of the "Poison Claw". Five layers of it will cause 15 points of damage per second, and as long as the poison is not detoxified, it will last until death.

15 points per second doesn't sound like much, but if you poison for a full minute that's 900 points.

You know, Jiang Ran’s current vitality is only 300 points.

·

Jiang Ran praised the "Poison Claw" highly, and the craftsmen were all smiling, but when it came time to present the next piece, their expressions were not so good.

"Well, Banning... a third-level magic core. We made a pair of boots according to your choice, but... but this magic core is really difficult to obtain. All I can say is that we tried our best."

The craftsman placed a pair of black boots on the table. From the movements of his hands, it could be seen that the boots were very thin and light, and their defensive capabilities could certainly not be relied upon.

In addition, the shape of the boots themselves is also very simple. Apart from the silver rivets used for reinforcement in necessary places, there is no other decoration.

For the craftsmen present, it was absolutely unacceptable that a precious third-level magic core could only produce such an ordinary pair of boots.

However, as the craftsman in charge just said, they have tried their best.

It's not that they don't want to create a pair of heavy boots with superb defensive power, but the magic core itself is resisting.

"Why are you all so sad? I think these boots are great! They're better than I thought!"

To the surprise of the craftsmen, Banning, whom they thought would curse at them, actually laughed happily.

The unpredictable boy picked up the black boots as if they were a treasure, and was even happier than when he saw the poisonous dagger just now!

5.19 - Ordinary Boots (Part )

"Uh, Banning, if you don't like it, just say so. We all understand."

"Yeah, it doesn't matter if you curse us, as long as it's not too harsh."

The craftsmen simply couldn't understand why Banning wasn't angry.

A third-level magic core can be sold at a high price of one gold coin, but this pair of boots made now may not be bought even if it is only sold for 5 silver coins. It is really a loss to my grandmother's family.

[Note: 1 gold coin = 1 copper coins, 5 silver coins = 500 copper coins]

"Masters, why do you think these boots failed?" Banning asked puzzledly.

After hearing this, the leading craftsman sighed, and not only did he not bully Benning for not understanding the market, but he was also very conscientious and taught him the knowledge of using magic cores to make equipment.

The craftsman said that there are two most important criteria for evaluating the quality of a magic core equipment.

First of all, the quality of the equipment itself must be good. Taking protective gear as an example, it must have defensive performance, resistance to poisons, corrosion, fire and so on.

Under this evaluation dimension, the boots created this time scored zero points at all. They are no different from the boots worn by ordinary people and cannot even be called equipment.

Another key point is whether the skills in the magic core are attached to the equipment.

According to experience, as long as the skill is successfully attached, a magic rune will appear somewhere on the surface of the equipment, and there is a high probability that there will be a reaction when magic power is injected into the equipment.
