I Chat and Laugh with a Legend

"The matter has been decided. You figure out how to fix the loopholes yourselves."

"Now that the Pro Gods are marching into the new world, the Blood of Luo Mang will also be greatly promoted among the young people of the new world. I see potential in this world that is different from other worlds."

"You must not be careless."

After Old Master Luo Mang finished his lecture, how could those two Alchemists dare to say anything more?

They could only accept their bad luck.

"Come, Xu Nan, come sit at my place. It's rare for you to visit Lost Paradise. The Smith Couple miss your... secret recipe very much."

At this point, Old Mr. Luo Mang's tone suddenly became strange.

He casually opened a random door and was about to step in when he suddenly handed the crystal ball in his hand to Xu Nan: "This is the hundredth Abyssal Lord I successfully captured. It's quite commemorative. Unfortunately, his name is too long, and I don't want to remember it."

"How about you give him a name? It must be simple and easy to remember. Otherwise, I'll forget it later."

Xu Nan looked at the Abyssal Lord, which had been shrunk countless times. Overall, this monster really did resemble a popular emoji from Earth.

So he said: "Let's call him [Clownish Lord]."

"Easy to remember." Luo Mang waved his hand, and a label for Clownish Lord appeared on the crystal ball, completely ignoring the monster's unwilling roar inside the crystal ball.

Lost Paradise, Luo Mang's residence.

Xu Nan heard some hidden meaning in the old gentleman's words just now. As soon as they arrived, he immediately expressed his admiration for the old gentleman.

He was not good at flattering, but after witnessing Luo Mang's divine power, his flattery surprisingly came easily, making the old gentleman beam with joy.

Finally, Xu Nan took out some Earth delicacies from his Storage Bag, such as Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, Wei Long Spicy Strips, Zhou Hei Ya, and Thirteen Spices Lobster, to show respect to the senior.

Seeing the Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, Old Mr. Luo Mang's eyes immediately lit up. He summoned in the void, and the Smith Couple appeared with a whoosh.

"Get a Head-Scratching Dragon, any dragon will do, and roast it quickly," the old gentleman ordered.

The Smith Couple bounced away. Soon, the aroma of cooking came from the kitchen.

The old gentleman asked about some strange things on Earth and, knowing that Xu Nan couldn't stay in Lost Paradise for long, quickly warned him seriously:

"You must learn from my past mistakes."

"Is your stat allocation method okay? Absolutely do not allocate points to Strength and Constitution equally!"

"Otherwise, you will end up like me... One wrong step leads to eternal regret!"

Xu Nan nodded in agreement while feeling that something was not right.

He looked at the Clownish Lord struggling in the crystal ball and finally understood what the problem was!

What do you mean by ending up like you, old man? Such a fierce legend is not common even in the Pro World!

For a moment, Xu Nan really wanted to follow Old Master Luo Mang's stat allocation method!

The Smith Couple's efficiency was far beyond Xu Nan's imagination.

Soon, a grand meal made from some kind of dragon as the main ingredient was served. Mixed with Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, it was exceptionally fragrant.

The old gentleman waved his hand: "Don't be restrained, eat!"

Xu Nan was naturally not polite. Unfortunately, this dragon meat was also quite magical. Although Xu Nan only ate the most tender piece, he was instantly full.

He looked back at the two squirrels tearing at the dragon scales with their mouths and eating the meat without changing their expressions, and then looked at Old Mr. Luo Mang, who was directly tearing off a dragon leg and gnawing on it, and sighed in admiration.

"Young man, you are too weak!"

The old gentleman gnawed off a dragon leg covered in chili sauce, still wanting more, but he gently tapped in the void.

A wonderful rhythm moved within Xu Nan's body.

His stomach seemed to have become much stronger, instantly digesting and absorbing the dragon meat!

[You have gained the temporary bloodline ability Share - Hearty Feast]

[Hearty Feast: Your biting, chewing, digestion, and absorption abilities are greatly enhanced]

Xu Nan was overjoyed. After thanking the old gentleman, he didn't pretend to be modest and directly tore into the dragon meat. After a hearty meal, both host and guest were happy.

Seeing Old Mr. Luo Mang happy, the Smith Couple also brought out their long-treasured Pine Nut Wine.

After three rounds of drinks, Xu Nan couldn't help but let out a satisfied burp.

A wonderful warm current surged within his body, finally manifesting as real power—

[You have consumed and absorbed Aikenno Giant Dragon flesh and blood, Strength +1]

[You have consumed and absorbed Aikenno Giant Dragon flesh and blood, Constitution +1]

[You have consumed and absorbed Aikenno Giant Dragon flesh and blood, Constitution +1]

Xu Nan's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. A dragon meat feast actually brought him three attribute points of growth?

Although they were not free attribute points, the six main attributes were notoriously difficult to improve.

For Luo Mang, it might just be a casual act, but for Xu Nan, it was a huge help.

In fact, without Luo Mang's bloodline ability to help, Xu Nan could only eat one piece of meat and couldn't digest or absorb it at all.

Xu Nan pondered for a moment, finally handing over the Ansu Li's Breakfast Dagger as a thank you gift to old Mr. Luo Mang.

This dagger was made of Mithril. With Xu Nan's current ability, he couldn't melt it at all, and might not even be able to melt it after reaching the legendary rank. This kind of bizarre treasure was like a chicken rib – tasteless to eat, yet a shame to discard.

Presumably, Zhao also had a pained expression when he first saw this "Dagger of Kindness."

Instead of keeping it, it was better to give it to someone who could use it.

"It's actually Ansu Li's Breakfast Dagger." Luo Mang laughed heartily and accepted Xu Nan's gift without being overly polite. "I've seen her show off this dagger often. Later, when the Pro World was about to merge with Earth, many places on the main plane experienced fluctuations, and Ansu Li's Magician Tower was no exception. A few days ago, I heard she lost this dagger and, in a fit of rage, went and killed a bunch of Birdmen from the World God Kingdom."

"This gift is very valuable, but I'll accept it. There's no master-disciple relationship between us Sorcerers. We all inherited the Blood of Luo Mang and are walking the path of excavating our bloodline potential. But mutual support is still necessary. When you grow into a powerful Ron Sorcerer, don't forget to help those who come after you."

"Let's talk about serious matters."

Luo Mang suddenly became serious. "Among the three items you drew, only the sealed Greater Demon Heart can be kept. You can use it for research or as energy. Anyway, the seal on the Alchemy Heart shouldn't cause too much trouble."

"But the Devil's Hand and the Ancient God Severed Finger are very dangerous. When you deal with similar things in the future, you must make sure your will can be immune to some of their malicious traps or charming temptations."

Xu Nan's heart tightened. So the old man retrieving these two items was also for his own good.

"The rest of the things are insignificant. Just take them and make good use of them," the old gentleman said generously. "You don't have much time left in the Lost Paradise. It's almost up. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask."

Xu Nan pondered for a moment, then asked somewhat awkwardly:

"I've actually always had a big question... Why do we Ron Sorcerers have to do embarrassing things to become stronger?"

The old gentleman pondered for a moment. "So you are [Shame]?"

Xu Nan was puzzled. "Aren't you? Am I the only one?"

Luo Mang nodded. "None of us are."

Xu Nan was greatly surprised. "What's going on?"

Luo Mang comforted him. "It's normal, normal. The awakening method of each Ron Sorcerer is different. When I was young, I was [Anger]. I had to constantly put myself in a state of anger to be effective."

"Among the three legends of the Lost Paradise, I am [Anger], Almuses is [Neurotic], and the Lion King is [Acting Cool]. See, everyone is different."

What? Not only anger, but also neurotic and acting cool?

Xu Nan was stunned. What kind of bloodline was this?

Luo Mang thought for a moment. "However, the path of shame seems very difficult to walk. You must have a thick skin. The few Sorcerers I know who were shame-based seemed to fall very quickly."

Xu Nan was a little nervous. "Why?"

Luo Mang sighed. "After all, most people are ordinary people and can't let go. After a few times of shame, they go crazy."

Xu Nan had a blank expression.

"It's okay, it's okay." Luo Mang comforted him. "There are also those who didn't go crazy, but that person seemed to have deactivated the system himself and later went to the Abyss to become a Lord..."

Xu Nan's scalp tingled as he listened. It turned out that those who needed to do embarrassing things were a minority among Ron Sorcerers!

The old gentleman was quite open-minded. He gave Xu Nan a few pointers on things to pay attention to, telling him to let nature take its course and not be too nervous.

Finally, he also subtly mentioned the mysterious aspects of the Ron Sorcerer bloodline.

The so-called Ron Sorcerers, it is said, are a profession formed from the bloodline left behind by an existence named Ron. But whether Ron was a person, a group of people, or something else, these are all unknown.

The limit of Ron Sorcerers is very high, but breaking through to the legendary rank is very difficult. Only by deciphering the mystery of the bloodline is it possible to advance to the legendary rank.

And what each legendary rank sees when deciphering the bloodline mystery is different.

The three existing guardians of the Lost Paradise are all legendary Sorcerers. Their strength is said to be not inferior to the top Great Arcane Masters of the Arcane Empire, but everyone's understanding of the bloodline is also different.

"Legendary matters might be a bit too far for you, but it's better to understand them early and prepare."

"Since you have inherited this profession, you must understand that the bloodline is your foundation and your ultimate destination. Most Sorcerer bloodlines have limits, but we are very lucky. I still haven't seen the limit of the Ron Sorcerer bloodline."

"You can come to the Lost Paradise to find me if you have anything in the future. Don't be restrained. As long as it's in the Pro World, I can basically handle it. As for Earth, I can't go there for now, so I can't help."

After thanking the old gentleman, Xu Nan felt the loss of bloodline power in his body and finally chose to say goodbye.

The Smith Couple reluctantly saw Xu Nan off.

When he returned to the Dungeon, looking at the warehouse full of magic equipment and gem metals, he still felt a bit unreal.

"Now I have something to brag about when I go out!"

Xu Nan's imagination ran wild. "I also once talked and laughed with a legendary-level expert..."

After a while, he put away his thoughts and began to count the great harvest from this lottery.

His phone suddenly vibrated, and two messages popped up.

One was from Shi Sanjie's group chat: [Arrived at the airport. Where's Lü Junyi? Come pick me up.]

One was a private message from the City Management Captain:

[Reporting, City Lord! I found a particularly fat dragon at the End of the Tour!]

...!
