Chapter 320: Chapter 320: The National War Begins!

“What’s your plan next?” Liu Xinxin patted Lu Ran’s shoulder and asked.

Lu Ran pondered for a few seconds.

Suddenly, as if deflated, he said, “I originally wanted to farm equipment materials, but I’m not really motivated. By the way, when is the national war again?”

Liu Xinxin replied, “The day after tomorrow at 8 AM. You still have all of tomorrow to farm equipment materials, which should be enough. With your current strength, you can farm casually.”

Lu Ran nodded.

“Farming casually is easy, but I feel like my need for equipment isn’t very high now?”

“Nonsense! You’re already like this, what else do you need equipment for? You definitely don’t need gear that boosts damage unless it’s functional equipment. But before it’s crafted, nobody knows what it’ll be like or what functions it will have,” Ye Hongyi said.

That’s true.

Currently, Lu Ran doesn’t really need anything.

Functional equipment.

The skill coverage control of the Sea-stabilizing Trident is essential, and it works wonderfully.

The Elf Wings allow flying and can summon an Elf Race army, although Lu Ran doesn’t need it at all.

As for other functional equipment, without seeing them, Lu Ran can’t decide their usefulness.

But as of now.

Lu Ran is almost at his full potential.

He almost doesn’t need any equipment to improve.

In less than a month, before the national war begins, Lu Ran had already raised his level to 60.

This can be considered as achieving great success.

“So for now, I won’t farm. The day after tomorrow is the national war; tomorrow, I’ll take a good rest, and then the day after, the national war.” Lu Ran contemplated and said.

“That’s fine. Anyway, you don’t need any equipment, so just relax and unwind. Even though you leveled up to 60 in less than a month, we’ve always been with you, and you haven’t really rested. Now’s a good chance to take a break.” Liu Xinxin nodded.

That night.

After dinner.

Lu Ran strolled around the headquarters of the Celestial Path Alliance.

Accompanied by Qin Wuyao.

The two walked out of the Celestial Path Alliance, aimlessly.

For the first time in so long recently, Lu Ran was wandering around without any particular goal.

Reflecting on a month ago, Lu Ran felt a bit sentimental.

“In just a short month, it feels like several years have passed,” Lu Ran sighed.

“I don’t quite feel that way, but I understand your state. Although it’s just been a month, you’ve experienced a tremendously eventful time, going through things others might never experience in a lifetime,” Qin Wuyao said.

At the same time, she looked at Lu Ran.

Thinking, at the same time, he’s grown to an unimaginable extent!

“How about we go back to Black Fire City?” Lu Ran suddenly suggested.

“Huh? What do you mean?” Qin Wuyao was taken aback.

“It’s nothing, just aimlessly wandering. I came from Black Fire City, and since the national war is the day after tomorrow, I’ll just go back and take a look,” Lu Ran said casually.

“Okay!” Qin Wuyao immediately agreed.

Last time she left, she almost got killed, but Lu Ran saved her.

After experiencing life and death, she hadn’t gone back to see her father or Qin Lie.

This was a good chance to go back and have a look.

So.

The two agreed and headed for the Teleportation Array.

Before long, they arrived at Black Fire City.

“In this data world, the teleportation array is really convenient; you can leave whenever you want. It’s so convenient,” Lu Ran remarked.

“You’re having a lot of thoughts today. After the world became data, the entire map and area expanded quite a lot. Without teleportation arrays and relying on old-world transport, it would take forever to get anywhere you want,” Qin Wuyao said.

Of course.

This is just domestic teleportation.

Cross-country teleportation, that’s even more convenient!

If it weren’t for Yu Qingcang shutting down the permissions for cross-country teleportation, you could instantly appear in any country you want by entering the teleportation array!

Lu Ran nodded and walked out of the teleportation array with Qin Wuyao.

It’s just that.

The current Black Fire City is not the same as the one where Lu Ran used to stay.

The streets and alleys are filled with professionals.

Even though it’s already evening, it’s still densely packed!

Streets that used to have almost no foot traffic are now bustling with life professions setting up stalls, with countless professionals coming and going.

Those once deserted streets and alleys are now lively.

“I nearly thought I came to the wrong place,” Lu Ran said helplessly.

“Today’s Black Fire City isn’t the same as the old one. Because of you, this former hometown of Lu Ran’s is now a name enough to attract a large number of professionals to come and check it out. Of course, that also includes a lot of your fans; I’ve seen quite a few before, and there are many pretty ladies too,” Qin Wuyao said wistfully, pursing her lips.

Lu Ran chuckled awkwardly, not lingering on the topic for long.

He just took out a cloak and hood, covering his face.

Lu Ran returned to his hometown for nostalgia, not to show off or receive worship.

If he’s exposed and surrounded by people, that would be troublesome.

Qin Wuyao, however, didn’t mind, accompanying Lu Ran and doing nothing much.

The two wandered aimlessly and arrived at the academy.

Unexpectedly, the academy was also lively at night.

There were people coming to checkin.

Some wanted to transfer.

And some lower-grade students were wandering around the academy aimlessly.

“Before we awakened our professions, the two of us had the highest spiritual power. I always thought you’d awaken a hidden profession, but the gap between us wasn’t that big, after all, our spiritual power difference wasn’t much. But who would’ve thought, a month later, you’ve become this powerful,” Qin Wuyao said, half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Lu Ran didn’t speak.

Looking at the academy, what appeared in his mind.

Were his days of working and studying, coming to the academy from the slums every day.

Just a month, but it still feels like several years have passed.

That night, the two walked through the streets and alleys of Black Fire City, truly wandering without any purpose.

Ultimately, returning to the Qin Family.

“Why not stay at my house tonight? We can rest for a day tomorrow, and the day after, the national war begins!” Qin Wuyao suggested to Lu Ran.

“Sure.” Lu Ran shrugged.

There’s really nothing else to do.

Because it was already quite late.

Qin Wuyao still needed to catch up with Qin Lie and her family.

Not wanting to intrude on that atmosphere, Lu Ran simply returned to the room Qin Wuyao arranged for him.

Sitting by the window.

Lu Ran suddenly remembered he actually owns a property in Black Fire City!

Almost forgot.

But now, since he’s alone, it doesn’t matter where he stays.

Instead, the upcoming national war makes Lu Ran a bit excited.

His first time participating in a national war, he’s curious what kind of scene it will be?

However, one thing is certain.

This national war will mark the beginning of Longxia’s rise to greatness!
