Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 16 Thriving!

Jiang Lan opened the store page directly, ignoring all the guidance techniques and manuals, and clicked on the equipment section.

Secret manuals and guiding techniques were not even on Jiang Lan's radar.

At most, it's just for show; I'll just pick a couple of books at random later.

I can choose to do it, but I can't possibly practice it.

What kind of secret technique is so amazing that even the chosen one has to practice it personally?

Now that you have a cheat code, you have to show that "I'm the only one who can do this" attitude.

Secret manual? Bullshit!

It's not even as good as the reward for sacrificing one!

Scrolling down, Jiang Lan finally saw the words "Customized Equipment" at the very bottom.

I couldn't wait to click in, and a smartly dressed woman in a uniform wearing black-rimmed glasses immediately appeared on the screen.

"Mr. Jiang Lan, hello. Do you need custom equipment services?"

Is this customer service a live video call?

Jiang Lan was surprised for a moment, then said to the computer:

"Yes."

"Okay, what are your requirements for the customized equipment? Style, length, weight?"

"I'll send you pictures of the style. As for the length, it should be around two meters, and the weight should be over three thousand kilograms."

"Yes, sir."

Jiang Lan took out her phone and directly transferred the already saved image into the chat window between the two on the computer.

Upon seeing the picture, the woman's expression was slightly strange, but she quickly returned to her previous demeanor.

Have you ever used a halberd-like weapon before?

Jiang Lan shook her head and said simply, "No."

He's not lying, he really has never used it.

Of course, if casually handling it and playing with it counts as having used it, then let's just pretend he didn't say anything.

After a moment of silence, the woman said, "Mr. Jiang Lan, we can order this, but it might not suit your taste. I personally recommend choosing a weapon like a sword or saber, as it's more suitable for most people."

This woman doesn't just customize equipment for others; she's also an employee of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy and has the responsibility of guiding those who come to order equipment.

If it were just about making money, she wouldn't care what Jiang Lan ordered.

"It's okay, I want this one, just make it."

Try to persuade him?

Nothing.

Jiang Lan's main trait is that she doesn't listen to advice.

Anyway, he wouldn't use this thing once it got home. Customizing a weapon just like the Golden Feather Halberd was just a way to deceive everyone.

After all, he had only just joined the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, and under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to acquire something as awesome as the Golden Feather Battle Halberd.

Of course, Jiang Lan didn't go to all this trouble just to show off with the weapon.

Instead, he would use other standard equipment, which is also good, but if he could get the chance to enter the wilderness alone, his strength would definitely increase rapidly.

Standard weapons are usually only effective against a certain level of martial artist. If Jiang Lan levels up every day, wouldn't he have to change his weapon every day?

Who can afford to play this game?

But the Golden Feather Halberd is different. Jiang Lan felt that this thing was enough for him to use until he surpassed the level of the God of War.

In comparison, Jiang Lan's method is currently the optimal solution.

Seeing that Jiang Lan wouldn't listen to reason, the capable woman had no other choice but to nod and say:

"Yes, Mr. Jiang Lan, I have received your request. The halberd will be delivered to your home by a specialist in five days at the latest. Also, do you need the matching combat uniform custom-made?"

Jiang Lan thought for a moment.

"Let's go for a gold and red color scheme. Practicality isn't important; we just want it to look as stylish as possible."

Since we've already left an abnormal impression, we might as well stick to this abnormality to the end.

Let's cosplay Lu Bu too.

He unleashed his full power and slaughtered indiscriminately.

The woman in uniform: "..."

Seemingly speechless at Jiang Lan's antics, she tentatively spoke after a long pause:

"A red brocade robe adorned with a hundred flowers?"

Jiang Lan's eyes lit up. He understands me!

Seeing Jiang Lan's expression, the woman continued, "A purple-gold crown to bind her hair?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"A delicate lion-shaped belt?"

"My soulmate! Just steam it like this... no, just do it like this!"

The woman seemed to be suppressing a laugh. "Yes, Mr. Jiang Lan, I have received your request. The supporting equipment and weapons will be delivered to your home in five days."

"OKOK!"

Jiang Lan was very satisfied.

Everyone else orders custom-made equipment, but he just ordered a whole cosplay outfit, is that even allowed?

Jiang Lan grinned. He could certainly look handsome, but whether he felt comfortable wearing it out was another matter entirely.

In short, he was very satisfied with today's equipment customization.

If the website for Extreme Home had a rating system, he would probably press the 1 key on his keyboard until it's worn out.

Looking at the time, Jiang Lan realized that more than half an hour had passed since Zhuge Tao called him.

Standing up, Jiang Lan went straight to the bathroom, quickly washed up, put on her clothes, and left the villa.

After all, Hong personally invited them, so it wouldn't be appropriate for them to arrive later than him.

Although Jiang Lan is usually a bit eccentric, she is quite normal in more formal situations.

As soon as Jiang Lan reached the entrance of the Extreme Club, he saw Wu Tong's figure.

Seemingly having spotted Jiang Lan as well, Wu Tong waved repeatedly, his face beaming with smiles.

When Jiang Lan arrived, he said excitedly:

"You heard the news?"

"Did the curator send someone to take me to the wilderness area?"

"Yes!" Wu Tong asked mysteriously, "Do you know who's coming this time?"

"I don't know." Jiang Lan shook his head. He wasn't a prophet, so how would he know who Hong would send?

"I don't know either!"

Jiang Lan rolled her eyes.

What are you doing all this secret?

If you didn't know, you'd think you did.

Before Jiang Lan could ask any questions, Wu Tong continued with that mysterious expression:

"Although I don't know who it is, I heard it's probably the Master's personal guard!"

Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow slightly, and Wu Tong continued:

"You know, the Master is a figure who surpasses even the God of War level, and so are his three personal guards! You should be grateful that such beings are personally leading you on your training!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan opened her mouth.

Although he didn't know where Wu Tong got the news from, that didn't stop him from being surprised.

When Jiang Lan heard Zhuge Tao say that Hong had specially arranged for someone to train him, he knew that Hong had taken notice of him.

Not only did they notice it, but they seemed to attach great importance to it.

Logically speaking, finding a team of warriors with high-level generals to take him around the outskirts of the wilderness should be more than enough.

Even if we take it a step further, finding a god of war to lead the team would be quite an achievement.

Hong, on the other hand, sent an entire planetary-level being to fight one-on-one?

Just then, a huge sonic boom came from the sky.

Jiang Lan looked up and saw a black dot approaching from afar.

As it drew closer, Jiang Lan could vaguely make out that it was a pure black triangular fighter jet.

coming!
