Chapter 26 New Attributes

  Among those materials, apart from monster drops, there were also some rare herbs and minerals. It seems that the two groups of adventurers had a pretty good haul.

  Herbs are useful for cooking, and can be used to make dishes that were previously impossible. As for ores, they have many uses. Of course, the biggest use is to craft weapons and armor - as well as accessories.

  Then Ji Ran saw these ores and his eyes lit up.

  Many of his own magic treasures can't be made, and a major reason is that there are no metal materials!

  In the game "Xian Xia Xian Yao", many magic weapons require metal materials. Of course, there are also some heavenly treasures and earthly treasures that can be used as the main body of a magic weapon, and with the addition of other materials, they can be refined into top-grade magic weapons without the need for other attribute materials, but that's something that happens in the mid-to-late game.

  In the early days, the power of the law enforcement tools made of metal materials was stronger. After all, metals are hard, sharp and have good toughness, which is easy to meet the standards, while other low-grade materials are much worse.

  With these ores, after refining them, it's possible that two more magical treasures can be made!

  "Great, these ores are just right for me to use. After I rest for a while, I'll take them and the materials from the magical beasts to forge two pieces of magical equipment... Speaking of which, if before this, I had already forged real magical equipment for Beck, maybe...". Suddenly thinking of it, he remembered that he had refused Beck's request to forge magical equipment many times before. At that time, he was pursuing perfection and wanted to forge even low-level treasures with extreme attributes. If at that time he had compromised and first forged two pieces of equipment...

  "Ah, what's the use of saying that now! Who knew we'd run into this kind of thing. You were also very particular at first, wanting to get something good out for me. What happened later was an accident, no one can blame you!" Beike was quite magnanimous.

  "But..." Ji Ran wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lais.

  "Wait a minute, don't worry about that for now. I've just thought it through and I think it's better if you don't make too many magical tools carelessly."

  Staring at Lais in shock and confusion, unsure why he said that.

  "How can I put it, first of all, thank you for trusting us and showing us so much. However, your personality might not necessarily be a good thing." Lays' expression was very serious.

  Ji Ran hadn't spoken yet, and the class beside him also nodded in agreement.

  "That's right, Ji Ran. The things you've made, you might not think they're a big deal yourself, but in fact, they're almost revolutionary to alchemy. We've seen alchemists before, and even the most ordinary magic tools take at least ten days to half a month to refine. And you, it doesn't even take half a day... The difference is too great."

  Ley sighed, "Yes, just as Ban said, your speed in crafting magical tools is too fast. And you can even use some almost worthless materials to craft what you call temporary magical tools... Hehe, even if they are inferior, they won't be worse than the ordinary magical tools made by those alchemists. Do you know what this means?"

  Having heard this, Ji Ran somewhat understood.

  "Your meaning is... I might possibly incur the jealousy of the alchemists?"

  Aileen glanced at him: "So you still know about this. It's not just the jealousy of alchemists, if your ability is widely publicized, then guess what those powerful forces will do to you? You're a person with no foundation here..."

  He remained silent, his eyes calm. Indeed, his ability to refine the Law of the Treasure was too heaven-defying, if some major powers were to find out, they would spare no effort to pull him over... but if they couldn't, who knew what they would do?

  "Those major powers, including the country itself, are not charity organizations. Your ability to quickly accumulate a large sum of wealth is no small matter, and if it gets out of hand, it can affect a nation's military reserves. What do you think they will do?" Lai Shu's words made Ji Ran's heart skip a beat.

  "What I made didn't have a particularly good effect either. Even if it's real magic tools, now I can only make bronze-level ones..." Ji Ran wanted to retort, but his voice became smaller and smaller.

  "The Bronze tier is enough. A country's strongest military might be the Golden tier, or even beyond that, but such military power won't be easily used unless it's a war of national extinction. The true main force in war is still the professional Bronze tier. You can produce these things quickly and the materials needed aren't rare, so you can arm large batches of troops quickly. In this case, you might be more in demand than those high-tier alchemists..." Lais' tone was meaningful.

  Upon careful consideration, it indeed is the case. Although high-ranking professionals can become intimidating forces, such intimidation cannot be easily used. In this way, a massive number of ordinary soldiers are the main force in war. If Ji Yan can quickly and cheaply arm these ordinary soldiers, then that would naturally be a delicious pastry.

  "For your own safety, it's better not to use this ability lightly. Fortunately, our gains this time are enough for you to go to school, so don't sell that alchemy product for now - the signs of its recent creation are too obvious. Wait until later when you have a chance to slowly cover it up with other methods... such as learning alchemy or something. Even then, don't make alchemy products too quickly, this is the only way to maximize the chances of keeping your secret from being discovered." Lays concluded.

  He nodded silently. Now that he thought about it, what he had done was indeed too rash, revealing several of his trump cards to a group of people he had just met, truly a suicidal move.

  This time I was lucky, the companions I met were trustworthy and worthy of putting my back on them. But what about next time? Who can guarantee that I will only meet good people forever?

  "Haha, I understand, Uncle Leis. As it turns out, my intuition was right, you're all good people...I'm really lucky to have met you first." Ji Ran smiled slightly. The words of these people were genuinely kind to him, and he could completely feel it.

  "Haha, as long as you know that! In the future, if we become prosperous, don't forget about us! As for me, I just want to muddle along and wait for death, but unfortunately, I didn't have a good father, so I can only go out and struggle with my brother. But maybe in the future, I'll be able to rely on good brothers to achieve my dreams!" Beck laughed loudly on the side...

  This matter is settled like this. However, the magic tools still need to be made, at least one for each person. After all, everyone is an adventurer, and it's necessary to improve their strength. If they're afraid that having magic tools on them will make others jealous and only wear ordinary equipment, then this thing has fulfilled a proverb from Ji Ran's previous world - "Giving up eating because of choking".

  But in his current state, Ji Ran must rest for a sufficient amount of time to have the energy to refine the magic treasure. So now, the most important thing is to rest.

  The current harvest has already exceeded the expectations of the people who came to adventure before. And because they encountered the True God Cult, everyone is now starting to return outside the Blue Pine Forest. Along the way, if they encounter demons, they will avoid them as much as possible to reduce unnecessary trouble.

  During this period, Ji Ran rested and exercised to recover from his injuries while studying the strange changes within his body.

  That sudden surge of energy, the ability to liquefy and attach the Law's treasure to one's body, an instantaneous explosion... what on earth is going on?

  This is something that doesn't exist at all in the game, even if you want to gain experience, there's no way to start. Everything can only be explored by yourself.

  It's okay, compared with others, there is a pretty BUG place, that is - having attribute panel.

  Take a look at the attribute panel, and unexpectedly find that most of the attributes are fine. Level twenty-five, strength, agility, root bone, yuanqi, physical strength... all kinds of attributes are also fine. Looking down again... what are these attributes below true energy and magical power?

  It was mentioned earlier that Ji Ran's attributes have both true energy and magical powers, which are clearly distinguished and do not interfere with each other. However, now there is another attribute below the two!

  The name above this attribute is three question marks, indicating that the system doesn't know how to name it either. Also, this attribute bar only has a little bit, compared to the true energy and law power cherished by the true heart, it's much less.

  What on earth is this? Ji Ran was very curious. He wanted to study it, but because his physical injury had not yet healed, he did not dare to take risks. His heart itched unbearably, causing him to scratch his ears and cheeks all day long.

  So he had to persuade the crowd to hunt and kill a few magical beasts, so that he could make some delicious food to help everyone recover from their injuries faster. Just eating beef jerky all day wasn't going to cut it - not only would they build up a tolerance, but it would also ruin their appetites after a while.

  His words had a certain effect, and later when everyone encountered weaker demons, they would kill them and bring them back to let Ji Ran cook. Ji Ran did not disappoint, using the various medicinal herbs and other things from their spoils as seasonings, and managed to make quite a few delicious dishes.

  To talk about healing, it really needs to be something like alchemy medicine. But for nourishing injuries, Ji Ran's cooking products are much more effective. For example, increasing physical strength and power, from the fundamental point of view, is to enhance physical fitness, making injuries heal faster, which is a very normal thing.

  So everyone's injuries healed much faster than expected. At this time, everyone had not even left the Blue Pine Forest yet.

  His injuries healed, Ji Ran naturally began to study the new thing that had appeared. From its location, this thing should be some kind of energy strip, and it was a different kind of energy from the True Qi technique. So what exactly is the relationship between this thing and the anomaly that day?

  Carefully, Ji Yan touched that energy.

  Then, a wonderful feeling like that day appeared again.
