"Will this do? You can't buy this outside even with all the money in the world. Is my sincerity enough now?"
Yang Baobao took a ring off her finger with extreme reluctance and handed it to Li Ran.
Li Ran took the ring, his eyes lighting up.
[Finger: Immunity Ring (Fine)]
[Attributes: None]
[Effect: Passive Skill: Immune to effects such as poison, petrification, freezing, burning, curses, taunts, and charm. If the opponent's Mysterious Power value is higher than the player's, this effect is nullified. Only one effect can be triggered at a time; others cannot trigger simultaneously. Cooldown: One hour.]
Holy crap, this ring is truly awesome.
Aside from not adding any attributes, the immunity effect is practically perfect.
Wearing this gear into battle means fearing no special attacks; the enemy's control methods will be completely rendered useless.
Li Ran kept a calm face, but inside, he was blooming with joy.
He equipped the ring immediately, then put on a displeased look and said, "You think you can brush me off with just a measly ring? Do you take me for a beggar?"
Li Ran was composed and fearless; his golden finger had reminded him he could demand benefits three times.
How could he possibly let such an excellent opportunity slip by?
Besides, why should he show mercy to a murderous maniac?
"You, don't go too far!" Yang Baobao bit her lip, looking annoyed.
Li Ran shook the ID card in his hand without saying much. Scarlet Iris, on the other hand, cooperated perfectly by baring its full set of fangs and letting out a fierce roar, as if shouting: "This is a robbery! Hand over all your treasures to this fox if you don't want to die!"
Yang Baobao looked bitter, the words "heart-wrenching pain" written all over her face. Gritting her teeth in resignation, she unpinned a badge from her collar:
"The value of this badge is above that ring. Now, can you return my ID card?"
Li Ran took the badge and examined it carefully.
[Accessory: Summoner Emblem (Fine)]
[Attributes: None]
[Effect: Wearing this emblem activates a Summoning Space, allowing for the storage of pets. Additionally, pets enjoy a 20% bonus to all of the player's attributes on top of their own. Applicable to all pets.]
Good heavens, is this gear tailor-made for me and Scarlet Iris?!
Li Ran's mood could no longer be described as merely excited; he was well aware of the value of this item.
For Li Ran, the storage and leveling of Scarlet Iris had always been a source of frustration.
Although Scarlet Iris could shrink into a mini state, fit in a pocket, or be carried on his person, there were always times when it was inconvenient to carry it around. Moreover, if he were to obtain other summoned beasts or pets, they might not necessarily be able to shrink.
Having a Summoning Space would make things much more convenient.
Furthermore, this badge could also solve the issue of pet leveling.
In other words, as Li Ran's attributes increased in the future, Scarlet Iris would gain additional attribute bonuses on top of its natural growth.
After putting on the Summoner Emblem, Li Ran indeed sensed an otherworldly space. He could open or close it with a thought. The space was vast; as Li Ran's consciousness entered to take a casual look, he saw a boundless expanse of grassland.
The little one must be very happy in there. Li Ran thought happily.
Taking another look at Scarlet Iris, sure enough, all of its attributes had been improved.
Dark Three-Tailed Fox
B-Class Mental Infector
Mysterious Power: 400+(116)
Strength: (24)
Agility: (24)
Constitution: (20)
Active Skills: [Rending Claw] [Illusion Transformation] [Shadow Instant Strike] [Dance Strangling]
Passive Skill: Dark Darling: All attributes are boosted in darkness, and injuries are automatically repaired.
Previously, Li Ran could not see Scarlet Iris's skills.
After equipping the Summoner Emblem, Li Ran could clearly see all of Scarlet Iris's skills and passives.
Four active skills, one passive.
The little one's stats are pretty good.
However, Li Ran remained expressionless, even harboring a hint of dissatisfaction.
Yang Baobao was restless, looking at the man on the sofa with unease, terrified that he would change his mind and start an endless cycle of extortion.
If that man dared to threaten her with the ID card again, she would kill him at any cost.
"The two items are not bad."
At this moment, Li Ran stood up from the sofa and paced toward the back of the beauty salon.
"I can return this ID card to you, but I don't think your sincerity is quite enough yet."
"Not enough? Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now, even if it means we both go down together!" Yang Baobao said, consumed by rage.
(He is furious. Theoretically, you can demand benefits three times, but in reality, it depends on the situation. If you insist on a third demand, he might just snap and kill you!)
(The basement is his collection room and another fatal weakness of his. If utilized properly, you can demand hush money once.)
At this moment, a line of system prompts appeared above Yang Baobao's head.
Li Ran had roughly guessed as much, and the corners of his mouth curled upward uncontrollably.
In truth, those two pieces of equipment were genuinely good, so extorting a third time was indeed inappropriate. If they had been common trash, Li Ran would have felt that extorting three times wasn't even enough.
However, quite the opposite was true; Yang Baobao cared deeply about his past being exposed, and the items he had produced were full of sincerity.
That was why the Golden Finger had displayed a new prompt.
Li Ran continued walking inside, ignoring Yang Baobao's threats. He reached the staircase leading to the basement, took a peek inside, and then walked straight down.
Yang Baobao panicked instantly, flashing in front of Li Ran: "You cannot go in there!"
