One couldn't help but say that Xu Nan's luck was pretty good. This was the first time he was crafting something, but he managed to craft an enchanted item.
Also, during the crafting process, he triggered the hidden effect of [Turning Stone into Gold] and directly turned the brass ring into a gold ring.
Usually, if one wanted to add an enchantment to an item, one would require very high attainment in alchemy. This was especially so for enhancement spells. They would at least need gems or special spell scrolls.
However, Xu Nan purely depended on the power of his Ron Warlock bloodline to do this. On one aspect, his luck was good. On the other hand, his Ron Warlock bloodline was truly tyrannical.
After he succeeded in crafting the ring, Xu Nan felt a sense of dizziness.
The operating process of the workstation would consume his bloodline power, and once it was exhausted, he would automatically enter a weakened state.
However, there was no place for him to check his bloodline power consumption. It could only depend on his perception.
Xu Nan knew that his bloodline power was almost used up. If he wished to continue crafting items, he needed to rest for a moment first.
He 'closed off' this secret art, and the workstation vanished along with it.
One couldn't help but say that Ron Warlock's secret arts were pretty powerful.
Why? Because a simple workstation actually contained such immense development potential!
Xu Nan checked before that the workstation could be upgraded into a work chamber, then a work cabin, and lastly an alchemy workshop. As long as he had sufficient bloodline power, he could summon it as he wished to. In fact, he could even open up a semi-permanent alchemy workshop in a secret space. And during the fight, he could escape into it when his enemy wasn't paying attention. As long as the coordinates of his alchemy workshop weren't leaked, it would be safe.
Sadly, for an alchemy workshop like that, he would at the very least need to be a level 15 Ron Warlock, and it also required an astronomical number of shameless points.
If he wished to grow stronger faster, the honest Xu Nan was destined to walk on the path of shamelessness with no way to return.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel some melancholy.
He was a righteous and kind youth, why was it that he had to become a shameless person?
Why did this world change so fast?
In his melancholy, he wore the gold ring. After that, he pulled the blankets over him and prepared to enter the dreamland.
After all, tomorrow was a Saturday, and there was a camp activity organized by the foreign languages society. The moment he thought about seeing that beautiful and gentle senior sister Yingluo, Xu Nan's heartbeat became quicker.
Speaking of which, he had confessed twice today, but both the targets weren't the one he really wanted to confess to.
"I'll just treat it as practice."
He consoled himself and swiftly drifted off to sleep.
...
In a certain corner in the city.
"Ouch!!!'
"Sister, please use less force, are you trying to kill your cousin?"
Qin Lele was naked, lying on her bed. A long-haired girl was currently rubbing medication on her.
"Who asked you to be so naughty? How did you manage to fall so badly? Hmm, you don't need to think about joining the camp activity tomorrow," the girl spoke.
Qin Lele hurriedly grabbed her hand. "Zhang Yingluo! If you stop me from following your foreign languages society to the camp, I'm going to post your naked photos online!"
Zhang Yingluo slapped Qin Lele's buttocks, making her scream in misery.
"How many times have we told you that you have to be careful and keep a low profile. If you keep running out like that, you would be discovered by others sooner or later.
"The upper echelons are already researching for a solution. This world might soon change drastically, so you have to be more careful."
Zhang Yingluo spoke meaningful and heartfelt words.
"Elder sister...I met a very very handsome guy today." Qin Lele mumbled. "I think he looked really handsome, so I told him everything."
Zhang Yingluo: "...Are you a retard?"
Qin Lele sobbed. "I also don't know why. I was even thick-skinned enough and added his WeChat. You should know that I've never added any guy's WeChat accounts before.
"But there's a problem."
Zhang Yingluo nervously asked, "What's the matter?"
Qin Lele thought about it. "He seemed to be a pervert. He immediately confessed to me when we first met, and he also likes to wear the underwear of others. Oh, the underwear he wore was a winnie-the-pooh version."
Zhang Yingluo raged, "You should leave such a person as far away as you can. His character is problematic; no matter how handsome he is, it is no use."
Qin Lele wiped away her saliva. "But...he is really very good looking. Although it was during the night, his entire person was glowing."
Zhang Yingluo was speechless. "Rub the medication yourself."
"In the future, you are not allowed to interact with that person. Understand?"
Qin Lele seriously spoke, "But my mother said that those who are good-looking usually wouldn't have too bad of a character. Do you feel it's right?"
Zhang Yingluo thought for a while before replying, "Maybe that's the reason why little aunt met four scumbags during the three years of her divorce."
...
The next morning, Xu Nan woke up early. He made a sumptuous breakfast and sent it over, placing it on the cabinet outside Xin`er's room as usual. After that, he knocked on the door.
A grunt echoed out from within, indicating that Xin`er understood.
Xu Nan then went to busy himself with his own stuff.
He ran to a tiny compartment in the garage. Although he was preparing to head out in the afternoon, this wouldn't affect him in conducting an experiment.
[Summon magical pet].
This was an ability possessed by warlocks and mages. The type of pet they would summon differed from individual to individual. It might be a snake, an owl, a crow, a weasel, a sparrow, a black cat...etc—all sorts of small animals.
Before confirming the agreement, the mages and warlocks could summon and try out various types of them before confirming one as a magical pet.
However, once it was confirmed, unless the magical pet died, they were not allowed to change a new one.
The time needed to finish summoning a magical pet was 24 hours. Xu Nan reckoned that the upcoming camp activity should end at around noon tomorrow. He would have returned home then, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Tomorrow, he would come here again and see what sort of magical pet he summoned.
Xu Nan hoped for a black cat or a crow. Such pets would be effective in detecting things and could help the spellcasters.
However, if he got a snake, he would feel extremely repulsed. He had decided that if it was an animal he didn't like, he would directly send it back and summon a new magical pet seven days later.
Summoning a magical pet required a strict magical formation.
He spent half-a-day of effort and finally managed to finish setting up the magical formation in the sealed compartment of the garage.
Next, he would have to wait for the magic to take effect.
Xu Nan simply left.
At noon, after he prepared lunch and dinner for Xin`er, he checked his WeChat for the camp activity tonight. He then brought what he needed to and went out.
At this moment, his phone suddenly vibrated.
[Xin`er: You have a girlfriend already?]
Xu Nan: "?"
He decisively replied, "Naturally not!"
[Xin`er: Liar!]
[Xin`er: The roses yesterday and the ring on your ring finger today when you deliver the breakfast up; you still want to lie to me? Hehe.]
Just when Xu Nan wanted to explain, he discovered that the text he sent became a '!'
Damn, he got blacklisted again.
Xu Nan rejoiced in his heart. He hurriedly took it off. It was a small thing for it to be seen by Xin`er. But what if his senior sister Yingluo saw it? Wouldn't there be a great misunderstanding?
"Luckily, he didn't know about the matter of the underwear."
"Even if I have a girlfriend, he would only throw some tantrums and wouldn't do anything else, right?"
He hesitated for a while. Usually, after Xin`er finished being angry, he would add him back again.
When the thought of this crossed his mind, Xu Nan decided to continue and head out.
...
In the small room on the second level, a pair of eyes watched as Xu Nan's silhouette disappeared at the end of the district.
The owner of the eyes unhappily opened up her streaming software. A large 'bullet screen' that allowed viewers to post on-screen comments in real-time instantly appeared.
"My brother already has a girlfriend."
"Do you guys think that he would abandon me and go to stay with his girlfriend instead?"
Her voice was gentle and magnetic, echoing with a neutral sense of beauty.
The comments instantly flooded in~
[Definitely! After having a girlfriend, why would he need a younger sister?!]
[I'm willing to take over caring for Xin`er. If my wife's older brother doesn't want my wife, I will take over!]
[After wifey's older brother leaves, wouldn't the rest of us have a chance?]
The live stream was incomparably lively.
Xin`er sat there and touched her chin. She then sighed softly in a vexed manner.
"There's still a problem. For so many years, my elder brother always thought that I'm a male."
During the live stream~
[?????]
[Wifey's older brother must be a retard. Xin`er is so cute, how could you be a male?]
[So what even if you are a male? If I have such an adorable little brother, I'll also ignore morality and bang you.]
Xin`er glanced at the bullet screen and impolitely said, "Administrator, ban that 'ignore morality' guy."
...
At the entrance of a certain industry and commerce university, the large bus was already prepared. The members of the foreign languages society had mostly arrived.
Xu Nan came quite early today. Hence, he already got on the bus due to the arrangement of the seniors.
Today, their camp location would be at a famous riverbend outside the city. There were plenty of sceneries there and since it was currently autumn, with leaves flying all over, it was quite beautiful and was very suitable for a camp. One to two months later, the weather would turn cold, and the place would no longer be so hospitable to people.
Xu Nan placed his luggage properly and sat on his seat with trepidation He cautiously glanced at the surroundings.
The senior sister Yingluo hadn't appeared yet. But there were many other students from the foreign languages society coming over to greet him. Xu Nan also happily responded.
Although he was a day student, he would often join the activities organized by the foreign languages society. Hence, his relationship with the people here wasn't bad.
Because he was good-looking, quite a few female students had flirted with him before. But sadly, they were all disregarded by Xu Nan.
However, there seemed to be something wrong with the situation today.
"I clearly came first, but why are you arranging me to sit in front?"
A skinny girl screamed shrilly.
The other girl had a tall figure, and she was also unwilling to show any weaknesses. "Didn't you say that you would feel dizzy in a moving vehicle back then? There are still seats near the windows available, hence I arranged it for you. Why don't you want to sit there?"
"In that case, let's ask student Xu Nan whom he is willing to sit next to!"
At the next second, at least five female students turned their ardent gazes onto Xu Nan.
Xu Nan started. All of a sudden, he realized how severe this thing was.
He knew that his relationship with the people here wasn't bad, especially so for his relationships with females. But it definitely wasn't so good to this extent!
"Charm? But it should be a fixed value. The current 19 points and my previous 18 points shouldn't have such a great difference."
"Wait...that specialty!"
Xu Nan suddenly understood!
In his character card, the specialty [Radiant-look] was currently glowing!
[Radiant-look: You will always look like you are in glowing spirits, exuding a radiant glow. The opposite sex will feel extremely attracted to you.]
How was this being extremely attractive? He was like walking hormones, alright!
The gazes those female students cast toward Xu Nan were like they wanted nothing more than to rip his clothes off immediately. It made him panic a little.
"Is there a way to resolve this? I don't want to become the public enemy of all the guys!"
Xu Nan felt extremely helpless.
But at this moment, a familiar voice rang out.
"Cousin, come quickly!"
"I want to sit at the back!"
