Look at My Little Expression

Joking aside, business is business.

After the joking, Fan Lang threw himself into battle, killing an Azure Crab.

The modified drop rate is indeed different.

[Congratulations to the player for killing 1 Azure Crab, gaining 1000 experience points.]

[The Azure Crab dropped 4 Azure Crab Shells, 4 pieces of Large Crab Meat, and 1 Magnificent Crab Roe.]

[The player has collected 4 Azure Crab Shells, quest completion for Crab Shell and Shield is at 21%.]

Magnificent Crab Roe:

Category: Ingredient.

Effect: Eating it after cooking can increase the Mystic Force limit by 10% in a short period. One serving per person, consuming less will reduce the effect. The effect can be stacked, as long as the stomach can hold it.

A fourfold drop rate is simply awesome, dropping four Azure Crab Shells at once!

I used to think that collecting a hundred Azure Crab Shells was a distant dream, but now I don't feel that way.

Fan Lang was also very happy to get a Magnificent Crab Roe. With a one percent drop rate, the chance of it dropping was too low, but with a twenty percent drop rate, it's easy to get.

Eating the Magnificent Crab Roe at certain times can significantly improve strength, which is the value of rare items.

Fan Lang grinned, very satisfied, and his motivation to grind monsters became even greater.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Fan Lang kept killing crabs with Li Yunyan, and the Azure Crab Shells in his backpack grew more and more numerous, a gratifying sight.

Perhaps because they killed too many Azure Crabs, they angered the Crab King hidden at the bottom of the river. Several extra-large Crab Kings led a group of Azure Crabs out, the scene was quite spectacular, like a small army.

Fan Lang was not surprised but delighted, the more big crabs the better!

After killing this group of big crabs, the number of Azure Crab Shells increased to more than ninety. Fan Lang killed a few more later and finally collected a hundred.

[The player has collected 4 Azure Crab Shells, quest completion for Crab Shell and Shield is at 100%, you can go to the tipsy blacksmith to hand in the quest.]

"Finally collected a hundred."

Fan Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the sky again, it was already dark, the moon hung high in the starry sky, gently emitting its brilliance.

Fan Lang took Li Yunyan to hand in the quest, took out a full hundred Azure Crab Shells, and piled them directly on the side of the street. The blacksmith was very happy to see it, counted the number, and checked it over.

According to the agreement, the blacksmith gave Fan Lang the five-star Crab Shell Shield.

Crab Shell Shield:

Category: Equipment Card.

Star Rating: ★★★★★

Attribute: Ice.

Defense: 1500.

Durability: 1600.

Effect: Releases freezing air through the air holes in the front of the shield, causing enemies to enter a frozen state.

Fan Lang held the Crab Shell Shield in his hand and weighed it. It was quite heavy. This was for self-defense, but it should also be good for smashing people.

"Thanks," Fan Lang said with a smile.

"I should be thanking you. With this pile of crab shells, I can earn more money for wine, hehe. Please take care of my small shop in the future, and you're welcome to come find me for a drink," the blacksmith replied with a smile.

It was getting late, so Fan Lang bid farewell to the blacksmith and returned to the City Lord's Mansion to rest.

The next morning.

Fan Lang got up early, thinking about finding two more pieces of equipment today. Before he could leave, he was stopped by a group of people. These people were all from the City Lord's Mansion, led by a young man with eagle-like eyes, exuding a sharp aura.

These people clearly had bad intentions.

The eagle-eyed youth at the head stepped forward, sized up Fan Lang, and said in a deep voice, "You're Fan Lang? I heard the City Lord personally appointed you to participate in the Wind Cloud Genius Battle."

"So what?" Fan Lang said indifferently.

"My name is Xiang Chong. Originally, this spot was mine, but as soon as you came back, the City Lord changed his mind."

"Oh."

"You can't just dismiss me with an 'oh'."

"Stop beating around the bush, just say what you want," Fan Lang said impatiently.

"Alright, you're a straightforward person, so I'll get straight to the point. I want to test your skills. If you're stronger than me, then I have nothing to say, and I won't compete for this spot again!" Xiang Chong finally revealed his fangs.

"I never refuse a fight," Fan Lang said with a sneer. His eyes suddenly changed, and he used the Eye of the Dragon. His pupils turned into the unique shape of the Dragon Race, forming a slender shape, surrounded by beautiful patches, and his eyes emitted a faint golden light.

Eye of the Dragon · Intimidation Effect!

Fan Lang and Xiang Chong's eyes met, as if a high-ranking Dragon Race was looking down on prey. The unique pressure of the Dragon Race emanated, making people feel frightened.

Xiang Chong's face changed drastically. He felt a sense of fear from the inside out and confirmed one thing.

Fan Lang knew pupil techniques!

Pupil techniques are more difficult to cultivate than Combat Skills, and often take a long time to master. Most Mystic Spirits spend their time cultivating Combat Skills, and very few know pupil techniques.

But most Mystic Spirits who know pupil techniques are very strong.

Xiang Chong had been aggressive before, but after being glared at by the Eye of the Dragon, his momentum was immediately frustrated, like a defeated rooster, and he wilted. He didn't dare to look directly into Fan Lang's eyes again, shifted his gaze, and even took a step back.

With just one look, Xiang Chong fell into a disadvantage.

If they really fought, the outcome would be obvious.

Xiang Chong felt ashamed and had no intention of fighting again. He said with a wry smile, "That was just a joke, I was just saying it for fun. The City Lord is wise and mighty, and the person he chooses will definitely not be wrong. The Wind Cloud Genius Battle is all up to you. I hope you can win glory for the City Lord's Mansion."

Xiang Chong said a few words to save face, cupped his fist, and left in a sorry state. The people who came with him had hoped to see a good show, but instead, they saw their own people being ridiculed, so they also left, staying would only be asking for trouble.

He was scared away with just one look, which shows that Xiang Chong was just a paper tiger.

Fan Lang shook his head, feeling slightly disappointed. The experience points that were about to be in his grasp flew away!

Troubles never come singly.

After finishing breakfast, someone else came looking for Fan Lang, but this time it was a young woman.

Dressed in a long red dress, with a face that could topple empires, she was like a red flower blooming on a high mountain, proudly blooming amidst the green, beautiful yet unattainable, unforgettable with just a glance from afar.

Luo Hongyan.

The most beautiful woman in the City Lord's Mansion, and possibly the most beautiful woman in Wind Cloud City.

Fan Lang was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Luo Hongyan to take the initiative to find him. This beautiful girl had always been aloof, it was hard to even get a word out of her.

Perhaps it was because this body retained some emotions, but every time Fan Lang saw Luo Hongyan, his heart would inexplicably stir, unable to maintain absolute calm.

Luo Hongyan rarely took the initiative to speak, asking, "Are you free right now?"

"Since the City Lord's daughter has come looking for me, I have to squeeze out some time whether I'm free or not. Just tell me what's on your mind." Fan Lang's heart had some ripples, but that was all, not enough to get too excited.

"Tomorrow is the Wind Cloud Genius Battle, and I am a participant along with you, representing the City Lord's Mansion. Before the battle, I would like to spar with you."

"I just got rid of someone who wanted to fight me, and now you're here to fight me."

"It's not fighting, it's sparring, the concepts are completely different. Sparring is just stopping when enough is enough, we're going to battle tomorrow, and no one can get hurt."

Fan Lang had no reason to refuse this request.

Sparring is good, sparring gives you the chance to touch her little hands, touch her little waist, and if you could grab a dragon ball or something, wouldn't that be even better?

"Where are we going to fight? Lead the way." Fan Lang smiled.
