Chapter 1707 Unexpected Visitor

equivalence.

What is equivalence?

This is really difficult to determine.

The most intuitive example is that for people like Lawless, friends and family are priceless. Don’t expect anything from him. He will pay you back. Instead, you have to worry about yourself. After making such a request, will Lawless Headshot.

However, brokers are different.

This guy can change anything as long as it is beneficial to him.

As for feelings?

Give me a break.

That kind of guy's feelings have long since been exchanged for post-transaction value.

Kieran was also happy to trade.

But the difference between Kieran and the broker is that he knows what can be traded and what cannot be traded.

Just like he knew that he could never hurt Mimosa and Lawless.

Because these two people treat him sincerely.

If others treat me with sincerity, they must treat others with sincerity.

This is what the old dean told him.

He always kept it in mind.

Even the most difficult life has not changed his thinking.

Some people may laugh at such childish thinking, but Qin Ran doesn't care.

After all, if even the last bottom line was gone... would he still be the same person?

Maybe still.

However, Qin Ran didn't want to see that 'him'.

Not even a thought to try.

To a certain extent, this can be regarded as an abstract equivalent exchange.

However, most people are not willing to do it.

Bang, bang.

There was a sudden knocking sound.

Qin Ran thought of something again and raised his head.

"at your service."

The superior evil spirit bowed.

"Go and conduct a thorough search within a 10-kilometer radius from where the core of the [Philosopher's Stone] is found."

Qin Ran said.

"clear."

The superior evil spirit reacted quickly, turned around and disappeared.

Qin Ran chuckled lightly.

"Hopefully there will be unexpected gains."

He said this.

At this point, it is not surprising that Victor wants to get back the core of the [Philosopher's Stone]. It can even be said to be reasonable.

However, there is a prerequisite for relying on the core of [Philosopher's Stone] to recover from disadvantages: sufficiently valuable items.

According to the description of the superior evil spirit, Victor was in a bad state at the time after the deliberate layout.

After getting the core of the [Philosopher's Stone], the other party will definitely complete the 'equivalent exchange' as quickly as possible, so naturally, those exchange items will not be placed too far away.

A radius of ten kilometers is an appropriate range.

Kieran, who was sitting in the chair, leaned back slightly.

He silently said thank you to Victor again in his heart.

The sincere kind.

The other party has helped him too many times.

Previously in Ring City.

And at this moment, not only did he prepare items for 'equivalent exchange', but it also gave him an extremely important reference object.

Especially the latter.

If it can be achieved, it will be enough for him to complete some of his ideas.

Kieran did not leave the underground storage room.

He waited quietly.

And the upper evil spirit did not disappoint him.

Just half an hour later, a box was brought back.

"Boss."

The superior evil spirit opened the box and handed it to Kieran.

Inside was a short sword.

The sword's blade was long and narrow, and its handle was curved. Under the light, it glowed with traces of green and red.

[Name: Goethe's Blade]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Ⅱ]

[Attack power: Ⅱ]

[Attributes: 1, split; 2, burning silence]

[Special effects: none]

[Requirements: None]

[Whether this copy can be taken out: No]

[Note: Goethe's Blade comes from the legendary demon hunter Goethe a hundred years ago. Together with that demon hunter, it enjoys the pinnacle of glory]

…

[Split: Any creature (including soul-type creatures) split by Goethe's Blade will undergo a physical determination of no less than Level II. When the determination passes, it will suffer a powerful level of secondary damage. If it fails, The wound will remain in a 'bleeding state' and cannot be self-healed or treated]

[Burning Silence: When the bleeding state lasts for 12 hours, there will be a level II fire damage. Flames burst out from the wound and sweep across the body of a standard unit (human beings are the most standard unit). When Burning Silence is triggered, the fragmentation state disappears. . 】

…

Looking at the dagger in his hand, Qin Ran's eyes flashed with light.

Undoubtedly, [Goethe's Blade] is a very good short sword, and its two attributes are quite practical.

However, what really concerned Qin Ran was the value represented by [Goethe's Blade].

"In exchange for equipment and props of equal value?"

Qin Ran murmured to himself in a low voice, and the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up slightly.

You must know that what he lacks most now is equipment and props.

"Stay here."

Qin Ran ordered, turned around and walked down.

After the superior evil spirit bowed and saluted, it sat in the shabby chair. Although it was curious about the subsequent development of the suburban ranch, it would not disobey Kieran's orders.

However, this does not mean that it does not know what is going on outside.

After all, it also has subordinates at this time.

Snapped!

Following Qin Ran's example, the superior evil spirit snapped his fingers.

Several ghosts that had been hiding near Rhodes Ranch shared their vision with it.

Kieran, who had already walked down, knew exactly what the upper evil spirit had done.

Kieran didn't mind this.

Even quite willingly.

Because he knows how beneficial it is.

In this dungeon world, as time goes by, what he lacks most is no longer the sealed strength, but... manpower!

Kieran never thinks that he is omnipotent.

He has something he's good at.

There are also aspects that I am not good at.

Just like learning the mysterious knowledge of witchcraft and Gu, he needs to concentrate and spend a lot of time and energy to get started, but the upper evil spirit can just browse it casually.

This in itself is a different focus of talent.

And if the old books are there, Qin Ran believes that the old books will not only help him learn faster, but can even derive knowledge that is more suitable for him to learn and become easy to understand.

Quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes!

It is eternal and unchanged.

Therefore, Kieran would not mind more helpers joining his camp.

Of course, there must be limitations.

"grown ups."

Du and the white weirdo who quietly returned saluted Qinran.

These two completely believable weirdos were the helpers that Kieran was happy to see.

"Hey, I need you to do something."

Kieran looked at the white weirdness that was once there.

"My lord, please give me your instructions."

"As long as I'm not the gatekeeper, I'll do anything."

Xu Ru said matter-of-factly.

After guarding the door for a hundred years, it is really tired of standing motionless in front of the door, looking at the same scenery. What it needs is to move around and see different scenery.

"I need you to travel around the world as fast as possible."

"First, collect information."

"Second, gather manpower."

Kieran ordered.

Qin Ran had an understanding of the world in front of him, but he didn't understand it deeply. He needed a helper who could help him understand more secrets.

It would be great if we could get more helpers.

And what could be more appropriate than the white weirdness of yesteryear?

The other party is not only very strong, but also has a restless heart.

"my pleasure!"

The once white monster immediately bowed again, with uncontrollable joy on its face.

"Du will tell you some of the rules of this world."

"Then, you go to the restaurant to collect your travel expenses. By the way, tell Li Jiajia that I am training here. If anyone asks, just tell them directly."

"besides……"

"Wish you a safe journey, Yu."

Qin Ran said.

"I will complete your mission perfectly, sir."

The former white weirdo said seriously.

Qin Ran nodded with a smile, opened the door to the treasure room and walked in.

The door slowly closed.

Various reminders came from behind.

Very pertinent.

With the [Sioudi Stone] around, Qin Ran was not worried.

Then, he looked at his trophy.

This was not the first time Kieran inspected his trophies.

But every checkup gave him a feeling of 'happiness'.

It's like eating food made from mimosa.

They are all so...beautiful!

As if he were a king, Qin Ran stepped into the treasure room, his eyes scanning the equipment and props one by one.

Two hundred and seventy-three in total!

The appearance of each piece was imprinted in his mind.

Keep the weight in mind.

The touch is still fresh in my memory.

Even the smell can be remembered.

Kieran didn't want this either.

However, I couldn’t help but remember it.

What can he do?

He was also helpless.

The body's instincts cannot be suppressed.

Moreover, blocking is worse than opening up.

Therefore, he wiped these equipment and props again.

Wipe every piece and be meticulous.

After doing this, he continued walking down.

Du has followed his instructions and opened up a larger secret room below, just like the space in his memory.

Although he now has a better solution with the emergence of the core of the [Philosopher's Stone], Kieran's character determines that he will always choose the safest solution.

Looking at the chains hanging in various places and the gate standing in mid-air, Qin Ran took a deep breath and started his first drill——

Practice how to break all the chains while avoiding invisible attacks!

…

"Where's Luo Yan?"

Walking into the restaurant, Song Shi looked around curiously after noticing that Qin Ran was not there.

"The boss is in the basement, training."

Li Jiajia said truthfully.

This was not because she leaked Kieran's whereabouts without permission, but because Kieran's black attendant had just informed her, asking her to tell those who might ask about his whereabouts where he had gone.

Li Jiajia didn't know why Qin Ran did this.

This was not in line with what she knew about Qin Ran's character. However, Li Jiajia never thought about it too much. She only knew that she just followed his orders.

As for the rest?

She trusted her boss to take care of it.

If not, there's her teacher.

In Li Jiajia's heart, her teacher is always the most powerful.

Luo Ye, who is at the pinnacle of culinary skills, is invincible in the world?

Um.

Just invincible.

She didn't think anyone could resist her teacher's cooking skills.

Just look at the eldest lady of the Songshi family in front of you.

The person he asked was Luo Yan, but his eyes kept looking towards the kitchen.

"Why don't Luo Ye come out?"

Songshi asked knowingly.

"What do you think?"

Li Jiajia asked angrily.

If there are no guests, she can learn how to cook from the teacher in the kitchen instead of serving people here.

"I guess he's cooking."

"I want ten copies!"

Song Shi smiled silly, wiping his saliva while smiling.

This appearance of the eldest lady of the Songshi family made Li Jiajia feel more admiration in her eyes.

Naturally, this is not true for Songshi.

But to her teacher!

A slave under the teacher’s kitchen knife!

Li Jiajia commented like this.

Then, she started to tidy the bar according to the teacher's instructions. Even though it was already clean enough, Li Jiajia didn't mind if it was cleaner.

Ding dong.

The restaurant door was pushed open again.

Carrying this season's new bag, Amy walked in.

"My partner is back?"

Amy asked.

"Back, training in the basement."

Li Jiajia said repeatedly.

"You're such a lackluster guy. What delicious food has Luo Ye prepared?"

Amy muttered and changed the subject.

"Mutton soup and pancakes."

Li Jiajia said.

"Give me one."

Amy looked at Song Shi as she spoke, then frowned slightly.

Looks charming.

Nice clothes...huh? This is not a new model that just came out yesterday.

So are the shoes.

Is that lipstick 999 from Almeda?

hateful!

Who is she and how could she buy it so quickly?

Amy commented like this.

In the bottom of my heart, hostility arose involuntarily.

Facing Amy's appraising gaze, Song Shi sat up straight unconsciously.

The corner of her eye drifted past the other person.

The makeup is exquisite.

Average face.

The clothes are also average, from last season.

So are the shoes.

Huh? !

Is this bag a new model just released?

I actually forgot to memorize it.

Careless.

Song Shi said silently in his heart.

A trace of flame appeared between the two women.

Li Jiajia looked at the two women who were unconsciously hostile to each other inexplicably.

What happened to them?

Are you sick?

As a woman, Li Jiajia didn't understand this inexplicable hostility at all. For her, it was only real that she had this free time to study her cooking skills.

Ding dong.

The door rang again.

Sheriff Teddy, a short and thin man, walked in, scratching the curly hair on his head.

"Where's Boss Luo Yan?"

Sheriff Teddy asked, his eyes sweeping over Songshi without leaving any trace.

The hatred between the two sides...

It's not really a grudge.

But it's not really a favor.

It was so complicated that Teddy decided to ignore it for the time being.

"The boss is in the training room underground. Do you need to see him?"

Li Jiajia asked.

"No, no."

"What's there to eat?"

Sheriff Teddy waved his hand and sat in the corner with a dry smile.

He came to eat, not really to see Kieran.

I was just being polite.

Looking at Sheriff Teddy's appearance, Li Jiajia couldn't help but roll her eyes.

I was originally attracted by the teacher's cooking skills, but instead I asked if the boss was there.

What a bunch of hypocritical guys!

With such comments, Li Jiajia began to study her cooking skills again. However, before Li Jiajia could get into the mood, the doorbell rang again.

Ding dong!

"Run!"

"Run!"

"The scary guy is coming!"

The voice in my head sounded again.

Li Jiajia frowned.

Before she could stop drinking, she noticed Song Shi and Teddy looking at the door with serious expressions.

Could it be?

Li Jiajia was stunned.

She was no fool and knew something was wrong.

However, before Li Jiajia could react, a strange guest pushed the door open and came in.

He is young and handsome, and does not seem to be from the human world. It is even difficult to distinguish between men and women.

However, he was wearing a slightly worn windbreaker and pants.

The leather shoes are also a little dirty.

And the other person's face was even more awkward.

But the other person's nose kept sniffing.

The other party bowed embarrassedly, looked at Li Jiajia and asked, "Excuse me, can you bring me some food? Of course, I will pay for it."

Suddenly, the uneasiness in Li Jiajia's heart disappeared.

As long as you eat the teacher's food.

No matter how powerful the enemy is, there is nothing to worry about.
