Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

As the clothes were unwrapped, White's head was revealed in a bloody mess before Gupa, his eyes still open. Gupa looked up and met White's eyes. Gupa was immediately terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. When he heard Su Yang say he wanted to make a deal, he asked tremblingly, "What deal? You... what do you want to trade?"

Seeing Gupa's frightened expression, Su Yang knew that the matter was basically settled, so he said, "It's very simple. I killed White. Although I am interested in money, nothing is more important than my life. I believe that this viscount was illegally levying heavy taxes, which is a serious crime. Moreover, you, Lord City Lord, were completely unaware of this. Since the viscount is dead, it is only right to confiscate all his property. It is only right for the Lord City Lord to collect it. What do you say, Lord City Lord?"

Although Gupa was terrified, his mind was still sharp. He immediately understood Su Yang's meaning and replied, "Yes, that's right. So what do you want?"

“What I want is very simple. Lord City Lord, you don’t even need to do anything. Just pretend that nothing happened in the past or present. What do you say, Lord City Lord?” Su Yang stared straight into Gu Pa’s eyes and said.

“Of course. Since it didn’t happen, those investigation measures and arrest warrants are naturally no longer valid. They can all be withdrawn now.” Gupa was obviously a smart man. He followed up on Su Yang’s words and said everything Su Yang wanted. It could also be said that Su Yang used White’s money to buy his safety.

Having achieved his goal, Su Yang lost the desire to continue speaking and fell silent. Seeing this, Lin Anlan released Gu Pa, stepped forward warmly to shake hands with Gu Pa, and praised, "Oh my, Lord City Lord is truly a good city lord who loves his people like his own children. It is a blessing for the people of Nanwan City to have you. You are not afraid of powerful figures, you punished the viscount, and you also protected the reputation and innocence of the people. I admire you immensely."

Gupa felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing Lin Anlan's words. This wasn't flattery; it was blatant mockery. He could only straighten his clothes and feign composure, saying, "Hehehe, of course. Under my rule, no one is allowed to be more powerful than me. Gentlemen, now that the matter is settled, shall we...?" Gupa's eyes darted between the two men, afraid they might make further demands.

Su Yang felt that everything was alright, so he got up, took Lin Anlan's arm, and walked towards the door. Lin Anlan followed behind Su Yang, and after the door opened, she turned around and said loudly, "Thank you for taking care of us, Lord City Lord. Goodbye."

The soldiers outside saw that Gupa was all smiles and seemed to be having a great time chatting. When they saw that Su Yang and his companion were about to leave, the captain of the guards glanced at Gupa, who then waved his hand, signaling that Su Yang and his companion should leave. So the guards did not stop them and let Su Yang go.

As Su Yang walked out of the city lord's mansion, it was nearly noon. He watched as the city lord's guards and the garrison soldiers who had just arrived chatted as they followed them out of the mansion before leaving together. Su Yang felt a great sense of relief. To be honest, this was the first time he had ever been wanted by the police. If this had happened in his original world, he would have been found by the Skynet the very next day, let alone after so long.

In a good mood, Su Yang and Lin Anlan suggested, "It's almost lunchtime, how about we find a good restaurant and have a nice meal?"

"Okay, but do you have enough money?" Lin Anlan immediately agreed, but then worried about Su Yang's funds. After all, he had given John a lot of money to prepare materials, and he probably had already spent all his money.

"Don't worry, there's plenty. If all else fails, we can sell these things first." As he spoke, Su Yang took out three rings from his pocket. The gems on the rings were dazzling, and it was clear at a glance that they were of great value. Su Yang picked out the ring he thought was the most beautiful and handed it to Lin Anlan, saying, "Here, this is a gift for you. It's a pity that I borrowed it. I'll make you another one later that I bought or made myself. Just accept this ring for now."

Looking at the ring Su Yang handed her, which was set with a fiery red gemstone that shone so brightly it seemed as if flames were dancing on it, Lin Anlan didn't know what kind of gemstone it was, but it was clear she liked it very much: "This ring is very beautiful, I like it very much. Since you said so, you must remember to make it up to me later."

"That's natural."

After saying that, Lin Anlan smiled and put the ring on her hand. After slipping it onto her finger, Lin Anlan said in surprise, "This is a fire element enhancement ring. I feel that this gem can increase my fire element strength."

"Really?" Su Yang was also quite surprised. "That's great news! To celebrate, we must have a good meal at noon!"

After exchanging the ring for gold coins and having dinner with Lin Anlan, the two returned to the inn. On the way, they saw many soldiers removing the wanted posters that had been posted earlier, which put Su Yang's mind at ease.

Upon entering the room, John was seen sitting on the floor organizing a large pile of materials in front of him. Seeing Su Yang return, John smiled and said, "Mr. Su, I have basically prepared all the materials. Here is the remaining money."

"No need, you keep it. I have plenty more. Can we start crafting now?"

“Absolutely, but this is my first time creating such a high-end bracelet, so I’m still a little worried.”

"Don't be afraid, let's not delay, let's go to the crafting room now."

Su Yang and John carried a large quantity of materials to the forging room. Su Yang checked the area and found the light elemental concentration to be very high. He immediately helped John prepare for the forging. As the forging furnace was lit, thick smoke billowed from the chimney, and the temperature rose rapidly. After a while, John felt the time was right and put various light elemental auxiliary crystals and materials into the furnace to melt them. Soon, the materials fused together. Su Yang had assumed that forging this bracelet would be similar to forging swords in his original world, but upon closer inspection, it was indeed different. The melted material did not become a liquid but rather resembled the state of heated glass. Moreover, its color was not the bright red of high-temperature melting but rather a kind of glow. Su Yang didn't know how to describe it. If he had to find an analogy, it would be similar to the glow of the skill of the Radiant Lady in a game from his original world.

While John was adjusting the base materials, Lin Anlan arrived carrying Little Orange and Little Stone Flower, watching John's process with curiosity. After all, this was the creation of an S-grade bracelet, something even a sixth-tier elementalist like Lin Anlan rarely witnessed firsthand. She was both curious and worried, fearing that John would fail and waste the S-grade material.

Time flew by, and three days had passed. During these three days, Su Yang accompanied John the whole time, sometimes even taking over the furnace so that John could have time to rest. This was all just to complete the debugging of the basic materials. With the sequential input and continuous smelting of various materials, John finally completed the debugging of the basic materials, which also meant that the S-grade bracelet material was ready to enter the forging furnace.

John's understanding of the S-grade bracelet's creation process was largely thanks to Die'er's help. Die'er compiled her experience of witnessing the successful creation of several S-grade bracelets and then guided John step by step on what to do and when, which gradually helped him master the method.

Adding S-grade bracelet materials to the forging process is a crucial step. Once this step begins, it cannot be stopped midway, otherwise failure is inevitable. Everyone is on high alert and dares not be careless in the slightest. John took several deep breaths nervously, glanced at Su Yang, and seeing him nod, he took one last deep breath to keep his breathing steady. Then, he carefully placed the S-grade materials into the forging furnace and simultaneously lit the furnace under the forging table to heat the forging table.

Time passed slowly, and at noon, as the forging furnace continued to melt, the S-grade material began to soften and began to extract light elements from the surrounding environment. For a moment, the bloodstains around began to emit an orange glow and continued to converge into the forging furnace. When the extraction was over, the bloodstains around faded, as if all the light elements contained within had been extracted.

Seeing that the extraction was complete, John slowly opened the forging furnace as instructed by Die'er. After the material shrank to the size of a small stone, he took it out and quickly placed it on the forging table. Then he took out an iron hammer, imbued it with light element, and began to hammer it. The forging table was heated so that the S-grade material would not cool down during the hammering process, thus preventing it from being broken after cooling.

The clanging and banging continued unabated. It was early winter, yet John was shirtless and covered in sweat. During this time, Su Yang and John kept taking turns, and the work was progressing smoothly, but a crisis still arose.
