Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Suddenly, the magical presence it exuded was indeed a level higher than that of the regular ninth level.

If you insist, it can indeed be called 9.1.

"Brother, who should do it?" Xiaobing raised her head and asked Yu Man excitedly.

"I kind of want your sister Xiaolu to come, but I feel like if they come together, it'll be a disaster—oh?"

"what."

Yu Man was careless.

In an instant, an unprecedented rich indigo color filled the entire showroom.

At the same time, the vast magical power was concentrated only on the edge of her blade.

“No blood!”

With this as an opening remark—the fawn came on with great ferocity.

Six and Seven Flowers followed immediately, and the time to prove it had come.

……

Thirty seconds later.

They indeed proved that Yu Man's vision was correct.

"Oh, the car flipped over."

The little deer stretched out his arm in annoyance, which was covered with many wounds caused by the trident.

"I didn't expect that after the two big ones were handed over, they were not killed."

"It's my fault that I'm not strong enough." Liu Tong Qi Hua continued to treat you, "I couldn't help you get through this period."

And from time to time they would look at the battlefield.

Xiaobing is using ice magic, imitating Yu Man's ice spear.

It's like how animal children instinctively imitate their parents to hone their hunting skills.

It just so happens that Yu Man is indeed an ice magician.

Although Xiaobing does not have the power of an enchanter or a "die" weapon as a spearhead, he himself is in a state of "die".

The pure ice spear itself, possessing an equally ferocious power, had now pinned the snake man to the wall.

Thanks to Xiaolu's two ultimates, the snakeman was in a very bad state. The two of them who took over the battle actually fought a simple harvest battle.

The reason why he hasn't been killed yet is because Yu Man is using magic.

"Look, little snake, there are many benefits to becoming equipment. You can continue to fulfill the meaning of your life in a different way. Death is not the end for you."

Yu Man always felt that it would be a pity to directly wipe out the ninth-level Boss.

It's also great to take the opportunity to make some extra money.

"Although you lost your life, your will and soul... have been passed on to others. This is far more worthwhile than dying. How about becoming my equipment and traveling with me?"

……

(I didn’t expect it to be a single update.)

197 How to Adjust Your Mindset

The fawn shows off his new gear.

Two strange bones were intertwined and twisted into a bracelet.

One of them is a snake bone and the other looks like a human bone, but they are hugging each other and connected to a strange skull at the end, which is still spitting out tongues as if it has life.

Now, this thing is worn on Xiaolu's hand, becoming the supreme equipment in her jewelry column... and even on her entire body.

"Eel~, eel! I now have two ninth-tier pieces of jewelry..."

The deer stood by the window and inserted her sword into the wall, which reflected the moonlight onto the deer's wrist, making her look like an ordinary little girl, constantly admiring her new jewelry and taking pictures of it with the unique atmospheric light.

Liu Tong Qi Hua once again saw an incomprehensible scene.

Yu Man and the Ice Prison Dragon teamed up and easily defeated the terrifying ninth-level snake boss...

It was fine up to this point, she could understand it, after all, she was very clear about Yu Man's strength.

But Yu Man chatted with the Boss who was nailed to the wall for about ten minutes, which was a bit strange.

And finally——

Yu Man used a strange magic: "Life Valuation".

With this, the boss's entire body, soul, flesh and blood, all his magic power, and even everything he had accumulated in his life so far...

All have been reconstructed and rewritten.

It's like a book, where all the words no longer tell the original story... but have been rewritten and arranged in a different way, becoming another story. Although the materials used are still all the words of the original book.

The Boss was rewritten by "Evaluating Life" into a piece of equipment, to be precise, a bracelet.

Ninth level, extremely terrifying bracelet.

Yu Man just took it in his hand and examined the skills contained in it as if he was browsing a street stall, then gave it to Xiaolu.

They have a good relationship - Liu Tong Qi Hua can also understand.

But - Yu Man's calm and unreserved actions and expression made Liu Tong Qihua realize one thing.

She had no interest in this priceless ninth-tier equipment, which even players all over the world couldn't find even half a piece of...

That's a very suitable piece of equipment for a deer.

It contains a huge amount of magical power, which can make the deer's blue bar skyrocket.

In addition, it has a passive skill: "Regret".

"Speaking of which, Eel, why is it a passive skill again?"

"Active skills are actually quite rare. This is common sense. Stop taking pictures. Have you tried out the skills yet?"

"Hmm." Xiaolu sheathed the sword. "It can make all my attacks tainted with the poison of regret, corrosion, and continuous blood loss."

"What about the magic power consumption?"

"It's a bit bigger than before. It's obvious that it's converted my magic power into poison, which then directly and unconditionally attaches to all my attacks. I'm not a magician, so I'm not that short of using magic power... The damage of my attacks has indeed been greatly increased."

Unless you die and donate this equipment, this bracelet should be useful for a long time.

Taking this into consideration, Yu Man immediately reminded: "Then you can treat it as one of your core skills. Consider it carefully when choosing a secondary profession. It should be useful until you reach level ten."

The tenth level?... It sounds quite far away.

But Xiaolu always takes Yu Man's words to heart.

If I could increase the frequency of attacks while consuming less mana... such a secondary job would be very suitable.

She couldn't help but think of the time when she fought against the boss but failed.

If her endurance can be improved, and if she can use other combat methods during the window period when her two ultimate skills are not in use, she is confident that she can defeat the snake man.

Instead of being like now, where you use your ultimate skill but fail to kill the enemy... you just give up.

"Um, Captain, what are we waiting for?" asked Liu Tong Qi Hua.

After getting rid of the snakemen, they opened an ordinary, neither good nor bad purple box and took out some eighth-level materials.

Except for Xiangxiang who was frantically chewing on the treasure chest, no one else was very happy. After all, the previous rainbow box was so delicious.

However, they should have continued to move forward, but Yu Man was still sitting in the exhibition hall, showing no intention of going any further, but he also did not order any repairs.

Not only that, Yu Man was busy with something in his hands, fiddling with something that looked very much like an ice spear... leaving Liu Tong Qihua completely confused.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to explain."

Yu Man bowed his head and apologized sincerely.

Now that we have new teammates, instead of being able to do whatever we want with Xiaolu, we should be more formal.

"Now is the standby time for preparation. My 'eyes' tell me that the team is coming soon, don't let up."

"...Huh, that team?"

"'Strategy Team'—I'm waiting for them."

When they heard this word, Liu Tong Qi Hua's eyes changed.

Preparations

Xiaolu leaned over, and Liutong Qihua clenched his staff. Xiaobing, feeling unsatisfied, was eager to try out new content. Xiangxiang slowly digested the treasure in his backpack, burping occasionally and spewing out a faint cloud of treasure chest rarity.

"No, I can do it myself." Yu Man waved her hand, gently smoothing out the sharpness in the air. "I'm just discussing the issue of ice mage output with them. It's nothing, it will be done soon."

She stood up. A new ice spear was already made, and it only needed the "die" enchantment.

But it is not used to deal with the "Strategy Group", so this use is a bit of a waste.

Yu Man could roughly judge that they would go to the final boss's room next, so while waiting for the "strategy group", he made an ice spear in advance, which was considered a good use of time.

"You guys should stay away from here for a while. Even with the Ice Prison Dragon's blessing, you won't be safe."

Before Liutong Qihua could understand, Xiaolu dragged her to the corner by the window.

The traveler immediately lit a bonfire, took out food and wine, and happily entertained his teammates.

"What the eel said is basically the truth, and it's more profound than you might think... It's not necessarily safe because we're too weak and would die immediately if we were involved."

Handing over a grilled fish fawn, quite open explanation.

"But don't overthink it. The eels are willing to take us, so we can just take advantage of them. Of course, we have to put in some effort, but in some situations, we simply don't have enough strength."

Liu Tong Qi Hua mistakenly thought she was being disliked, and her hands trembled nervously: "I... I will try my best to become stronger."

"I used to think so, but then I realized I just couldn't keep up..." Xiaolu is a veteran, experienced, and has made peace with himself. "So there's no need to overthink it."

"...So, how did you adjust your mindset?"

"I?"

Xiaolu skewered the fish he had caught and put them on the grill, while entertaining Xiaobing who came over after smelling the fragrance.

Then he made a face and said happily:

"Every time I couldn't keep up with her progress, because I became a burden, and felt so weak, useless, and worthless... I would secretly log off, go to her room, play with her and her cat, and then I would feel very happy."

"?"

Liu Tong Qi Hua asked in confusion, not even knowing how to start.

"Her cat is really amazing, quiet and well-behaved...super cute, very clingy and protective of its owner. I always have to play with it for a long time, otherwise it will desperately protect the eel, ah."

Is this something I can hear? Liu Tong Qi Hua tried his best to interpret the air, but still couldn't understand the heavenly book that Xiao Lu was talking about.

"I say petting, but really I just poke her incredibly beautiful face, use her long furry ears, her neck, and so on... It's really relaxing and fun. Later, when we became familiar with each other, I would rub her little nose with my tail. I don't know if it would affect her gaming state..."

“…I see.”

Liu Tong Qi Hua wiped off the sweat and the food in his mouth tasted bland.

Ugh?

But inside I was exploding.

Isn’t Eel a 30-year-old uncle in the IT industry, a mature, successful person and a good man?

Isn’t Xiaolu a 40-year-old gamer who only cares about his parents, a typical middle-aged, ugly man?

……well?

……

"The Promise Keepers—will arrive in about a minute. I haven't seen their leader yet."

"Well, go around behind them."

Yu Man had a good communication with the "Eye", held the magic book in his hand, and walked to the podium in the exhibition room.

Soon, noisy footsteps and discussions immediately poured in from the other side of the door.
