Chapter 321: Joy not enough (Thanks to the alliance leader of Joy not enough

~18 min read 3,477 words

An Ning was angry, very angry!

She didn't speak to Ji Jue for a full ten minutes!

Then she found that the more she endured, the angrier she got, and the more she stepped back, the more her anger burned... Caring for the overall situation only meant wronging herself; when did I, the dignified Bai Lu, ever suffer such grievances?

Then, when Ji Jue looked up inadvertently and looked at the rearview mirror, he saw a little turtle on his face.

?

He froze for a moment, and in a daze, found that there was another one!

And the number of little turtles was constantly increasing at the frequency of his distraction. In the end, they climbed to his neck. When he raised his hand to wipe them, he found that his fingers were stuck to the steering wheel by glue at some point...

Well, the shoelaces were also tied together.

???

Ji Jue looked back, glaring in rage, while An Ning was still under the restraint of mercury, pretending to look away as if nothing had happened.

"... Isn't that childish?"

"What's childish?"

An Ning glared: "Anyway, I'm an illiterate, I'm a bad thing, coming from thousands of miles away to help you, and still being disliked... I don't want to be with you anymore! Stop! Stop! I want to go home, I won't talk to you anymore!"

Although she was fierce in her mouth, she was still tied to the chair, unable to move, looking pitiful.

Just turned her head away, puffing up.

Until Ji Jue sighed silently, material interference, evaporated the glue on his fingers, and reached out to rub her hair.

Then it was shaken off.

Not happy!

But after Ji Jue took his hand back, he found that she was even more unhappy!

"..."

Ji Jue sighed, reached out again, her expression became fierce again, baring her teeth, wanting to bite, until Ji Jue ignored her resistance and forcibly pressed his hand on her head.

Physical submission, after a hard rub, his five fingers spread.

A crystal-clear crystal product was in his palm.

It was like a pink gemstone tadpole, with a round head, a slender body, and a small tail. At first glance...

"..."

An Ning froze for a moment, sluggish, shocked, and for a time forgot that she was still angry, a faint red appearing on her cheeks: "Brother Ji Jue, are, are you so proactive? I actually... am not that casual... really..."

Snap!

Ji Jue flew into a rage, directly hitting her on the forehead with a chestnut.

"What are you thinking!" Ji Jue completely broke down: "Prince Rupert's Drop, you should know Prince Rupert's Drop, right?! If you don't know, go check it yourself..."

As soon as An Ning opened her mouth, the state he had finally organized collapsed again.

His hard-made work was taken as what?!

After searching for a long time in a hurry, An Ning raised her head sluggishly, dodged his gaze in Ji Jue's glare, and then snatched Ji Jue's work, lowering her head to play with it.

Pretending nothing happened.

"Just, just this little apology, don't think I'll forgive you so soon!"

"..."

Ji Jue shook his head and didn't want to talk anymore.

Heart tired.

According to the processing definition, the tadpole-shaped glass crystal formed by dripping glass solution in a high-temperature state into ice water is called Prince Rupert's Drop.

Although it is not clear who this Rupert is, since everyone calls it that, then it is called that, it doesn't matter.

Its characteristic is that the hardness of the head is extremely strong, and both the internal compressive stress and the surface tensile stress are sufficient to resist a considerable degree of impact, while once the tail is broken, the whole will instantly shatter and collapse.

Usually, it is used as an art ornament, which can be seen everywhere, and it is not rare.

However, if combined with the projection technique of the An family, the effect will have a qualitative leap—the water-drop-shaped head contour readjusted according to fluid mechanics is sufficient to stabilize itself in a high-speed projectile state, and at the same time maintain the stability of the structure when encountering metal or repulsion defense, causing sufficient impact.

At the same time, once the tail shatters, the fragments can also form a secondary explosion.

Whether it is used to deal with heavy armor targets with full defense like the Ruined Market, or to deal with opponents with full control ability like Tian Tian Yuan, it has a certain effect.

Moreover, with the An family's technique in projection, playing with it will only be more fancy.

Ji Jue didn't need to give much guidance on the specific use. After playing for a while, An Ning had already figured it out, beaming with joy, holding it in her hand, playing with it like a little airplane, humming.

The main material used is the upper-level material of the Ruined Market system collected after Gao Yue Chen died—Dust Crystal, but this consumable is enough to reconstruct with scraps, not to mention the weight and hardness, and it is mixed with a part of the Sin-Tainted Wolf Poison extracted from the Wolf Sin blood.

One is also making, two is also making, he simply melted all the fragments he didn't need and made a box.

When she found that this box was all hers, An Ning's eyes lit up, humming a song and forgetting that she was still angry, and pretending to be surprised:

"Oh, Brother Ji Jue, what is this on your face, let me wipe it for you."

"..."

Ji Jue rolled his eyes and didn't resist, letting her touch him while taking the opportunity to wipe, just saying: "Just consumables, don't be sorry to use them. If there are any shortcomings or defects, don't be embarrassed, tell me the first time."

"Okay!"

An Ning narrowed her eyes: "Thank you, Brother Ji Jue!"

Ji Jue also laughed.

No need to thank, after testing the prototype here, I will give the mature product after upgrade to Little An.

This way all three are happy!

The road is long, a day of marching, actually didn't encounter any opponents.

After entering Longyuan, all contestants very wisely kept their distance from each other, and on the desert and Gobi wilderness, in the full race live broadcast, no one dared to make any more trouble.

Those who dared to do so had already died in Huangzhou and Kunwu.

Calm and peaceful, nothing happened all day.

After looking at the satellite map, Ji Jue calculated his competition time and found that he was already more than nine hours ahead, so he didn't rush.

After nightfall, he stopped the car directly and chose to camp.

"Brother Ji Jue, look, look!!!"

An Ning flipped over from the other side of the sand dune, pulling a pitch-black tail in her hand. Following her movements, a giant gray wolf that was a full two heads taller than her lay there pretending to be dead, lifeless.

The wolf packs, as predators of the wilderness, didn't even dare to approach, looking from afar. After sensing An Ning's gaze, they tucked their tails and pulled away.

"Look look, fluffy!"

An Ning seemed to be dancing a lion, holding the giant wolf under its armpits with both hands, shaking it back and forth.

"..."

Ji Jue sighed silently, "Don't abuse animals."

"Where is it!"

An Ning refuted loudly, plucked up the huge wolf head, and rubbed it twice: "Look, it likes me so much!"

No, the wolf's expression was clearly about to cry, right?

Shivering.

But soon, An Ning found a new way to play, took out a rope and tied it to the wolf, and then, waving a small whip, forced it to pull the sled she had just made, and started racing.

"Woohoo, take off~"

"Yeah!"

"Oh——"

Under the threat of death, the giant wolf ran wildly in horror, foam almost coming out of its mouth, not daring to stop, running faster and faster, pulling her back and forth in the yellow sand, drifting, galloping.

And Little Niu Ma followed behind like a fool, holding a light for her.

"..."

Ji Jue shook his head and chose to stay away.

Don't get tied up by this bear child too...

The phone vibrated slightly, and a message came from afar:

Isis: 【The procurement of the first phase of equipment has been completed, and the installation work will be completed within five days. Considering the recent price fluctuations of mountain copper and assembly silver, it is recommended to wait and see, and the configuration in the initial stage is adjusted as follows——】

Ji Jue finished reading and replied: 【Okay, thank you for your hard work.】

Isis: 【Please rest assured, I will cherish this wealth you exchanged by selling your body: -)】

【???】

Ji Jue felt that the question marks floating on his forehead today hadn't stopped.

No, what the hell is selling your body? This is called life and death. And what's with this emoticon? The sarcasm is almost overflowing, okay!

【You're welcome, this is what I should do.】

Isis replied indifferently: 【Finally, I wish you a pleasant trip.】

"..."

Ji Jue raised his head and looked at the night sky.

The stars were shining brilliantly, so clear, and so close, as if within reach.

Or as if, silently, looking down.

In the countless starlight, it was really hard to distinguish which one came from Isis's eyes.

Why does it feel like a supervisor...

Ji Jue sighed silently.

Look, look, you just look! After it ends, when the satellite permission expires, let's see what you use to look!

No, she seems to check the phone...

Oh, that's fine.

Ji Jue withdrew his gaze and continued to process the materials at hand, racing against time.

Many materials, even in the blockade of Solid Alchemy, were still slowly flowing and decaying. If left alone, it might be that more than half would be scrapped after returning to Yacheng.

For example, the Dust Crystal manifested on the residual body after Gao Yue Chen died.

The Ruined Realm is the collection of all matter in the world. The closer to the Ruined Realm, the clearer the characteristics of the soul and spirit. Even if it dies, after the body collapses, it will leave essence manifested in material form, not to mention that before death, it had already stepped into Transcendence.

In Ji Jue's hand, that amber-colored dust sand gradually stabilized its form.

A tiny grain, but as heavy as a boulder. Before being activated by spiritual quality, its nature is extremely stable, like gravel, but if used well, even if it is just one grain, it is enough to make the carrying capacity and material properties of a whole blessing work have a qualitative leap, and at the same time, all physical indicators such as rigidity, toughness, hardness, strength... are completely filled.

And such precious materials, Ji Jue's mercury jar had already been filled with more than half, and this was after repeated purification, filtering out many impurities with unstable states and defects.

Why say that the Chosen One is full of treasures.

In addition to Dust Crystal, thanks to Ji Jue's timely collection, he also took advantage of the heat to pluck two upper-level blessings of the Ruined Realm—【Rock Solid】 and 【Human-Heaven Isomorphism】.

After the blessing of Rock Solid is activated, the defense ability of the object and the user will cover the whole body, regarded as a whole, whether it is the most fragile eyelid or the least noticed toe.

Any impact suffered by any part of the whole body will be dispersed to the whole body, sharing the burden together.

There are no dead ends and weak points.

Everything is complete.

The disadvantage is... if one is damaged, all are damaged.

Iron beating still needs itself to be hard, the blessing can ensure that you have no weak points, but if the defense ability itself is shattered, then what is the difference from having weak points all over the body?

And 【Human-Heaven Isomorphism】 perfectly complements this problem.

Its effect is simpler, connecting the user or creation with the surrounding matter through the flow of spiritual quality, inseparable and unshakable.

Usually, when Ruined Realm Chosen Ones use this blessing, what they connect to is the earth under their feet, and even the majestic earth veins born from the gathering of countless matter under that earth. Unless the earth and earth veins within the connection range are dug out and completely shoveled away, even if a big transport or train comes head-on, it is impossible to make you retreat half a step.

And if these two blessings are combined, then the defense of the Chosen One itself will soar to the sum of all matter within the range of his spiritual quality flow.

If it weren't for the use of worms to pollute and interfere with the earth veins during the Disaster of Blood Rain, maybe Gao Yue Chen could really face the bombardment and rush to Ji Jue, blowing him into slag!

Just these two blessings, it can be said that Ji Jue didn't come in vain this time.

Rock Solid and Human-Heaven Isomorphism are also crucial cores in many blessing chains. With them in hand, then many blessing chains like 【Iron Siege City】, 【Fire Prison Mud Plow】, etc., are just missing some scraps.

And in Ji Jue's plan, the sequence chain he wants to complete is the top-level sequence composed of pure Ruined Realm blessings—【Immovable Like a Mountain】.

Maximize self-defense, at the same time, take root, and when standing on the ground, be like a mountain, unshakable.

This is the design scheme most suitable for Little Niu Ma.

After matching the essence of Dragon Blood, Little Niu Ma can be said to be a Ruined Realm Chosen One who can turn into a car, and the defense of Longshan armor will be further elevated to a level not inferior to Gao Yue Chen.

And in addition to blessings, under the Dissociation Technique, Gao Yue Chen's matrix also brought a Ruined Realm understanding that almost made Ji Jue's brain boil. Combined with the foundation he had plucked from Sister Wen before, if Ji Jue worked harder, he could achieve a pirate version of the Ruined Realm static zone within his own spiritual quality interference range, just like Master Kong.

Unfortunately, compared to Gao Yue Chen's generosity, except for that bit of poisonous blood, nothing was left of Wolf Sin!

Blessings, soul, and even life, all were plucked away by the Bai Lu!

And the performance converted, all were sent directly to An Ning's hands, Ji Jue couldn't even touch the edge.

How to say, watching the second brother in the live broadcast room send rockets to others, Ji Jue's heart was really a bit sour... laugh to death, is there anyone who says you are really pretending? Anyway, I don't really want it...

Compared with the stingy Bai Lu, the Great Sin is better to me!

Said give, said send, if I don't want it, they get anxious! There was Zhifu before, and White Hall after, which one didn't take out their pension to subsidize Ji Jue?

Just like that shattered fish scale from the White Hall Sin.

Even if it was already shattered, the terrifying vitality contained inside had not dissipated. Ji Jue really didn't know how big that fish's body was, but just looking at how much the Ba Serpent squandered, and the consumption was less than one-third, he knew how terrifying it was.

Even if this cursed vitality had completely aberrated, it was like poison to the Supreme Good Chosen One, completely unable to replenish itself, but... his opponent definitely wouldn't mind.

With the suppression and guidance of Sin-Tainted Alchemy, and the purification and processing of Fluid Alchemy, anyway, there is no need to worry about the blood sacrifice gap of Pan Ying in the future.

Such pure quality and such terrifying quantity, maybe after using it once, it can build half more, and the scraps are enough for Ji Jue to rub who knows how many bullets.

At this moment, in Ji Jue's hand, the residual sword Pan Ying groaned.

After being saturated with blood, the blade grew another inch, and it was one step closer to completion, already more than half!

According to the "Han Xiang Chapter", the next step is the water-grinding effort without shortcuts. While repeatedly tempering and recasting, it is also necessary to wash the sword and practice the soul, using the artisan's own consciousness as a whetstone to correct the side branches and grind away the impurities. In the process of gradually adding blessings until the sequence is complete, through repeated grinding and correction, gradually suppress aberration and ferocity, and after peeling off impurities, further purify the essence.

Until the ferocity is completely faded, turning evil into righteousness, from residual to whole, then, it is the genuine Heavenly Work · Victory Evil!

It's just... counting the modification costs of Little Niu Ma, counting the materials and equipment needed for 【Immovable Like a Mountain】, and counting the investment in Pan Ying in the future, Ji Jue suddenly felt that the money he earned in these few days didn't seem to be enough?

Is this the money-burning efficiency of an artisan?

Loved it, loved it.

Amidst the sigh and regret, Ji Jue lowered his eyes, his expression calm, raised his hand, and his palm slowly pushed across the Pan Ying sword body placed obliquely in front of his knees.

A wisp of spiritual quality faintly flickering with silver brilliance lingered on his fingertips, and with the cooperation and resonance of many blessings, under the promotion of Non-Attack, like a whetstone, it swept across the blade.

Again and again, the faint residual sound of metal friction erupted with the vibration of the sword body.

Accompanied by the grinding and reshaping that seemed to never know fatigue, a wisp of mist faintly carrying scarlet and pitch-black was extracted from the blade, and in the air, before it dissipated, it was captured and sealed by the flowing mercury.

It is Pan Ying after all, with deep evil roots.

There are no shortcuts for the nine types of Sword Art, and there is no convenient method—all the classes skipped in the end have to be made up.

The casting of Pan Ying is easy, but if you really want to achieve it, the effort spent on grinding is several times that of others of the same kind.

Using one's own nature and matrix as a whetstone, as long as the artisan wavers a little, they will be backlashed by the evil spirit. Even if Ji Jue has Non-Attack and is not afraid of erosion, and there is a wisp of the divine essence of the edge of change in his spiritual quality, the speed is much faster than others, and the effect is immediate, but it still requires a long time of investment.

The further you go, the more difficult it is.

But don't worry...

Take it slow, take it slow.

Under the reflection of the bright moon, Ji Jue raised the blade, staring at his reflection in the scarlet, and smiled silently.

"Brother Ji Jue, look here! Look here!"

An excited shout came from not far away.

When Ji Jue looked back, on the sand dune, An Ning, holding a camera, pressed the shutter, and in the crisp sound, the scene under the brilliant night sky seemed to be permanently saved.

Unfortunately, the parameters were not adjusted correctly, and the focus was a bit off.

Ji Jue's expression was also dull and silly.

It couldn't be called a masterpiece.

Long before the picture appeared on the camera, Ji Jue had already gotten the result, and with just one thought, he could delete the photo, but in the momentary hesitation, he saw An Ning's smiling face.

Lowering his head and staring at the picture on the screen, he smiled unconsciously, his eyes shining.

For some reason, that kind of flash stung his eyes.

... Forget it, let her be.

Ji Jue lowered his head, put away Pan Ying, told her to sleep early, and then yawned and walked toward his sleeping bag.

Long time no see, so relaxed.

Now that it was night, he was actually sleepy.

Sleepy then sleep.

Don't roll anymore.

He crawled into the sleeping bag, leaned comfortably on the pillow, stared at the countless stars, and when he looked back, he met another pair of eyes in the sleeping bag.

"Squeak?"

The ignorant little mouse tilted its head, looking at the owner of this cave.

Didn't understand the situation.

In the silence, only Ji Jue's smile froze on his face, for a long time, for a long time, finally couldn't help it anymore.

Roaring to the sky:
