Chapter 386 The Night Before the National War Begins
Luna, the black cat standing nearby, stared in disbelief.
Numerous advanced purification items proved useless; the [Soul Binding Forge], which had baffled even the quasi-king, was simply erased?!
There wasn't even an outbreak?!
"Amazing! Amazing! No wonder he's a legend in China!!"
Overjoyed, Ivy reached out her arms and couldn't help but pull Jiang Yuan into her embrace, letting Jiang Yuan experience what facial cleanser was all about.
"Break my promise? How could I possibly break my promise? You saved my life and my dream!"
"This kindness is something I could never repay, even with 100 requests!"
"From this moment on, you are my benefactor!"
Ivy released Jiang Yuan, her sapphire-blue eyes beneath her red bangs fixed intently on his, and she solemnly declared, as if making a vow:
"If you need anything, I, Evigne Silver, will definitely help you!"
"Okay."
Jiang Yuan was still somewhat immersed in the sensation from just now when he heard this and casually waved his hand.
More than a dozen high-grade and rare forging materials appeared in the air, their light shimmering like stars across the sky.
"Jade Dragon Horned Rhinoceros, the Steel Heart of the Purple-Gold Beast, the Fire Rock Spirit..."
Luna the black cat stared wide-eyed. Every single item here was a rare material that could only be dropped by ferocious beasts of the eighth rank or higher. Even Ivig's inventory didn't have this many.
boom.
The crimson flames expanded.
The [Fire Dragon Claw] detached from Jiang Yuan's left arm, carrying flames as it floated in front of Ivy. She used both hands for support, gazing at the cracked and battered bracer.
"This is a Dark Gold-grade item, severely worn and damaged. Do you want me to use these materials to reforge it?"
"Almost there, it's starting to feel the strain on my power."
Jiang Yuan spoke very calmly.
But Luna the black cat and Ivy were momentarily stunned.
Unable to withstand the force?
This is such an unfamiliar way of saying it...
Keep in mind that even most ninth-tier Grandmasters use Dark Gold-grade equipment.
"With these materials and my enchanting skills, it shouldn't be a problem to upgrade it to epic rank, but it will be difficult to go any further and reach the highest rank."
Evie said that she has a unique "Insight" eye that allows her to see the potential of this piece of equipment.
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and then took out another item.
"And what if we add this?"
Seeing the blood-red, lotus-patterned, cube-shaped crystal in his hand that resembled a beating heart, Luna the black cat was stunned.
What is this?
Ivy, however, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Crimson Lotus Crystal?!"
Luna the black cat opened her mouth wide.
"A top-tier rare material that only ninth-tier lord-level ferocious beasts can drop?! Crimson Lotus Crystal?! I heard that a top guild is offering a reward of tens of millions just for a clue to obtaining this item. A fist-sized piece is enough to forge a man-made weapon with a strength exceeding S-rank, comparable to epic-level equipment!"
"Such a rare material, and you have such a large piece?!"
"It was a lucky find. The properties of this material should be passable, right?" Jiang Yuan said, casually tossing the Crimson Lotus Crystal to Ivy.
"More than just passable, the Crimson Lotus Crystal contains the ultimate fire power, making it a perfect match for this Fire Dragon Claw." Awesome's face lit up with the excitement of a blacksmith seeing their desired material. "With this, I'm confident I can forge this into a top-tier epic-grade item!! Just wait!"
"Come pick it up in two days!"
After saying this, Ivy started to shoo people away, intending to devote herself wholeheartedly to forging.
Jiang Yuan left her secret residence, and it was already completely dark outside.
Red Light Street is a vibrant and bustling place, where adventurers from all factions come to seek pleasure. People from all countries can be seen here, and even once-arrogant grandmasters can be found everywhere. Some are laughing heartily with orc girls in their arms, while others are drinking heavily from wooden cups, their faces flushed. It's a lively and lively scene.
Even if some forces have conflicts with each other, they will not take action at this time.
The city guards are not just for show.
Many people are talking about what happened before.
Jiang Yuan's name appears frequently.
Secondly, there are competitors from other countries.
"Tomorrow is the first day of the national war. Which nation will emerge victorious? Place your bets!"
At the entrance of the casino, someone used a megaphone to loudly solicit customers.
Many people gathered and placed bets.
"The first day was individual competition, and no one was a match for our athletes!" a burly man said proudly, snorting through his nostrils.
"Christina is the strongest!"
"Damn it! Don't underestimate the unparalleled genius of our South Korean nation! I'm betting 3 million Federal Credits!"
……
Jiang Yuan also released his divine sense to take a look.
The odds for the five Chinese people in the casino are as follows:
Sikong, 1:3,232.
Lin Qingyan, 1:4,434.
Yan Runan, 1:6,234.
An Tianzong, 1:11.233.
Chen Xi, 1:4,322.
Not many people placed bets.
The five players with the lowest odds and the most attractive bets are Christina from the [Fairy Troupe] of the Bear Kingdom, with odds of 1:1,739.
Edward Sean from the American Heroes Squad, odds 1:1,532.
Ryuji Kitahara from Takamagahara, the land of cherry blossoms, has odds of 1:1,384.
George Ypres of The Machines of War, odds 1:1,444.
Rig, the son of the gods from the Nordic country, odds 1:1,293.
These five individuals, besides Jiang Yuan, are among the most discussed young geniuses on the world forum.
They have all reached the seventh rank.
He is expected to become a ninth-level Grandmaster before the age of thirty-five!
"Surely you could afford any price, right?"
"Of course! Our casino is backed by the world's top guild, Ragnarok; we won't be unable to pay out."
Jiang Yuan nodded, stood in front of the betting machine, and transferred two billion federal dollars to bet on Lin Qingyan.
For an instant.
The name Lin Qingyan from China jumped from outside the top ten to the top three in terms of total bet amount.
This sparked a heated discussion.
"A bet of two billion federal dollars?! Who is this big shot?!"
"China, Lin Qingyan, never heard of her, is she very strong?"
"Whatever, let's bet a little and see."
"Then I'll try too..."
……
Jiang Yuan neither particularly liked nor disliked this adventurous atmosphere.
He found a small wooden tavern, ordered some food and drinks, and sat alone by the window to enjoy them.
At night, Murmansk is brightly lit amidst the snow-white landscape. There are no skyscrapers, crisscrossing skyrails, or aircraft in the sky, only a coldness unlike anything found in China. The aurora borealis occasionally appears across the sky, a breathtaking sight.
Jiang Yuan ate the sizzling grilled beef and drank beer, feeling at peace.
"Found it!"
A distorted face appeared in the window.
"How cunning! As the team leader, he actually stole food behind our backs!"
Yan Runan stared at the roasted meat in front of Jiang Yuan through the window, drooling. Chen Xi and Sikong stood beside her like two bodyguards.
