Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

However, the masters searched the boots inside and out but did not find any magic runes, and there was no response when they injected magic power into them.

This means... the skill attachment failed.

"Banning, we're sorry for your trust. How about this: we'll return one gold coin to you. Please accept it."

The leading master took out a gold coin, and the craftsmen nearby all stared at it eagerly, and it was obvious that everyone was reluctant to part with it.

Banning smiled and pushed the leader's hand back.

"Masters, you've worked day and night for two days. This is what you deserve. Besides, I'm very satisfied with these boots. This is exactly what I wanted, so there's no need to feel guilty."

Then, in the stunned gazes of the craftsmen, Banning accepted the boots and left happily.

Everyone had only one thought in their mind: this young man was either a kind-hearted person or a fool.

·

Jiang Ran's happiness came from the heart.

He was not so kind as to pretend to be happy just to take care of the craftsmen's feelings.

The reason why Jiang Ran was so happy was naturally because this pair of boots really met his needs, especially its attachment skills, which could be said to be like winning the first prize in the lottery!

Just now, in order to avoid leaking the real equipment effect of the boots, Jiang Ran deliberately did not explain it to the craftsmen.

Moreover, in the days to come, Jiang Ran will keep the equipment effect of this pair of boots as top secret and will never let anyone know.

Once the secret of the boots is known, the power of their skills will be greatly reduced.

After returning to the hotel, Jiang Ran placed the boots on the table, and then used his identification ability to confirm its equipment effect again.

No one would have thought that this pair of ordinary-looking boots actually contained a powerful skill.

━━━━━━━━━━

Equipment Name: Dark Shadow Boots·Ghost

Equipment effect:

1. Equipment requirements: Dexterity 100, Wisdom 180; 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. Equipper attribute gain: Dexterity +10, Wisdom +10;

3. When equipped, you can use the skill: "Shadow Step";

Shadow Escape Step:

Each use consumes 200 mana points and has a 30-second cooldown period after use;

After use, the user can immediately teleport to a designated shadow within a 10-meter radius of themselves;

If the designated shadow disappears during activation, the skill fails, but still consumes mana and enters cooldown.

━━━━━━━━━━

The dodge ability that Jiang Ran had always wanted was unexpectedly realized through this pair of "Black Shadow Boots·Ghost Shadow".

Moreover, depending on how it is used, "Shadow Step" can not only be used for dodging, but can also be used to surprise the opponent. In short, it is a very flexible skill.

As for why the craftsmen didn't find the magic rune, Jiang Ran guessed that it was because the rune was black and the boots were also black, so they couldn't see it.

If Jiang Ran didn't have the ability to identify, he would definitely have missed this pair of "Black Shadow Boots·Ghost Shadow".

This made Jiang Ran sigh again, the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye should be renamed the "Supermodel" Divine Eye.

After getting the new equipment, Jiang Ran went out overnight to practice using it.

The poison of the "Corrupt Dagger·Poison Claw" is long-lasting and strong. Combined with Jiang Ran's ability to see vitality, he can easily determine whether the target is poisoned.

As long as the poison is successfully stacked, the target without the ability to detoxify will fall down quickly.

The "Shadow Step" is even more useful. There is no delay when this skill is activated. It is completely instant movement. The only problem is that Jiang Ran needs to adapt to the feeling of instant movement so that his dodging or surprise attacks can be smoother.

(Speaking of which, one of the abilities of that guy, 'Shadow Devourer Svalerok,' is to disappear into the shadows. However, once inside, it loses the ability to move and can only hide.)

(The skills of the magic core equipment are indeed closely related to the original owner of the magic core.)

·

That night, Jiang Ran used up a lot of magic power to adapt to the "Shadow Escape Step".

Based on his current magic value of 2400 points, one shot of Black Sword Flame Horse's "Blue Flame Horse" consumes 444 magic points, and one use of "Shadow Escape Step" consumes 200 magic points.

The number of times these mana-consuming spells can actually be used is very limited, and each use must be carefully calculated.

However, compared to the time when he escaped from Shadou Canyon, Jiang Ran has grown a lot and is no longer a soft persimmon with no ability to fight in frontal combat.

That night, Jiang Ran practiced until the early morning before returning to the hotel to rest.

·

·

The next morning, Jiang Ran woke up to the wake-up service of the stupid loli alarm clock.

When he was brushing up his skill proficiency as usual, there was a knock on the door.

"Good morning, Mr. Banning... It's me, Emilia."

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Ran immediately became alert.

However, at this moment, he was alert where he should be, and also alert where he shouldn't be, which made things a little difficult.

"Okay, wait for me a moment."

Jiang Ran quickly changed his clothes, then picked up a potion book and read a few paragraphs, finally successfully diverting his attention.

[Note: It is normal for good children not to understand the above sentences.]

"Good morning, Emilia. How come you have time to come this morning?"

Jiang Ran opened the door and welcomed Emilia into the room.

When the two passed each other, the pleasant scent of osmanthus on Emilia made Jiang Ran's heart beat faster involuntarily.

"Because the promise I made to you has not been fulfilled yet."

Emilia said as she handed a book to Banning.

Unconsciously, Emilia changed her way of addressing Banning from "you" to "you" again, and her tone became much more lively.

Jiang Ran took the book and saw "Formula and Preparation Method of Primary Hallucination Therapeutic Agent" written on the cover.

He opened it casually and flipped through it. At this moment, Emilia put her hand on the page and looked at Jiang Ran with a blushing cheek.

"Mr. Banning... I haven't seen you for so many days. Why don't you come and see me first?"

5.20 - Pre-battle preparations

━━━━━━━━━━

October 187, 6

6:49 AM

[Advanced Trial Challenge remaining: 1 days]

[Confession death countdown remaining: 24 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

In the hotel room, Jiang Ran and Emilia's eyes met for a moment, then they looked away.

At this time, Jiang Ran's heart had already sounded a level one red alert, and he entered into a combat state with his whole body and mind.

At this moment, he, who had experienced countless actual combat scenes in the workplace, had keenly sensed that the atmosphere in the room was not right!

Jiang Ran realized that if the current situation continued to develop, he would probably not be able to act alone in the future.

However, Jiang Ran had seen many storms after all, so he immediately completed his analysis of the situation and came up with a countermeasure.

"Hmm? You want me to check on you? Emilia, are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Ran reached out and touched Emilia's head, and found that her forehead was quite hot.

Emilia was suddenly pulled closer to Jiang Ran, and she stood there in a daze, not daring to do anything.

"Emilia, you have a fever! Why don't you just rest at home?"

Seeing the opportunity, Jiang Ran immediately turned from defense to offense!

Without any hesitation, he helped Emilia sit down on the bed, took off her shoes quickly, let her lie down on the bed, and covered her with a quilt. The whole process was smooth and done in one go!

Before Emilia could even react, she was sealed in the bed!

"Uh, I... I'm not feeling unwell..." Emilia was a beat late in reacting, looking completely confused.

Just as Emilia was about to sit up, Jiang Ran immediately reached out and pressed her shoulders, staring at her with a serious look.

"You're already so burned and you still say no? I won't let you push yourself like this. Lie down and rest for a while, dear."

After saying that, Jiang Ran quickly got up, and within a few seconds he came back with a cold, wet towel and put it on Emilia's forehead. Then he "considerately" helped Emilia cover the quilt, not giving her a chance to get out of bed.

Emilia wanted to explain further, but now, feeling Benning's careful care for her, she suddenly felt that it would be nice to continue lying like this.

"Well...thank you, Banning."

In this warm atmosphere, Emilia called Banning by his name for the first time, which allowed her to regain the long-lost warmth of family.

"Why are you so polite?"

Jiang Ran smiled and touched Emilia's head, stroking her golden hair, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation just now was extremely critical, and the atmosphere in the room was obviously visibly pink and ambiguous. Fortunately, after Jiang Ran's magical operation, the atmosphere in the room has now been brought to a family-like softness.

Afterwards, Jiang Ran took out the potion book he had just read, and asked Emilia questions while flipping through it. After chatting for a while, he asked Emilia to continue lying down and resting, saying that he had things to do, and he left the hotel first.

·

Emilia was the only one left in the room.

She lay in bed, thinking of her bold behavior just now, and felt a little nervous.

If Banning hadn't mistakenly thought she had a fever, Emilia didn't know what would have happened to her now...

Thinking of this, she shyly covered her head with the quilt. Then, Banning's scent filled her nose, making her feel as if she was hugged by Banning, and her heart beat faster.

——(Yes, this is the bed that Benning slept in... He has been staying in this hotel for many days...)

——(I am now... sleeping in the bed that Benning slept in... Oh my god... this is so embarrassing...!)

Girls in love always have special ways of thinking.

Emilia's current feeling was like sleeping with Banning.

She felt that her heartbeat was getting stronger and stronger, so strong that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her body!

Emilia could no longer control her excitement. She treated the quilt as if it were Benning, hugged it tightly in her arms, and then rolled around on the bed, twisting and rubbing...

She let her body go its own way until her face flushed, sweat dripped, and she gasped for breath, and finally she slowly stopped.

——(Banning...I can hardly control my feelings for you...)

——(Ugh…what should I do…)

Jiang Ran was walking on the street and sneezed.

He knew without thinking that it must be Emilia who was thinking about him.

However, it could also be Wei'er, Tochini, or even Viviana.

Even Grandma Kana and Grandma Cassie are not excluded.
