Nie Wan was indeed impressed with He Chang.

It's truly astonishing that she would say something like "oil and salt are expensive."

A few random thoughts flashed through Nie Wan's mind, and she brought up the important matter again.

"That olive branch needs to be carved. You'll need a carpenter of exceptional skill or higher. Go to Athens and find that NPC named Piontes to do it."

"Okay." He Chang gave an OK sign, but did not leave. "There's one more thing. Thoughts have disappeared from the Pantheon."

Nie Wan remained calm. Yi Yuehan, like her, appreciated the flow of thoughts, so she kept her by her side, intending to cultivate her into another confidante independent of the Pantheon and the Orpheus Church.

If she sets her sights on someone and is determined to bring them onto her side, she will never allow them to have any further involvement with their former employer.

Yi Yuehan must be the same, and it's even possible that because she still retains all the memories after the backstabbing death, she is even more ruthless and resolute in this regard.

He knew everything perfectly well, but his expression remained unchanged.

He Chang, however, assumed that she looked down on Sisi Liutang and said, "Don't laugh at her. She's a ruthless person. Later, she somehow fell out with Sosia. After the Pantheon submitted to the Cardinal, she directly rebelled and started her own sect. Although she only inherited Medea and Circe, her actual combat strength might be a little stronger than Bubble Sunbathing. Of course, I'm talking about her peak full-body form. Right now, she definitely can't compare to Bubble Sunbathing."

Nie Wan nodded slightly, indicating that she was listening attentively. Her hands moved extremely quickly, her calloused hands, formed from frequent hammer swings, were exceptionally nimble as she condensed the gold thread into the shape of a rose.

Setting the gold rose aside, she took out a ruby ​​and meticulously polished it. The fingernail-sized gem had sixteen facets on both sides, making its already radiant surface even more dazzling.

Nie Wan polished 180 rubies in one go, and then set them one by one into the gold-threaded rose.

As the gemstones filled the gaps outlined by the gold wire one by one, He Chang's onlooker's gaze gradually became focused.

When Nie Wan turned around, holding the golden rose, to merge it with the base of the gold brooch by the roadside, He Chang even unconsciously took a few steps forward.

"I have a hunch."

She said, "This is the thing you were going to use to seduce me."

Nie Wan chuckled: "Then you're wrong. This is something I prepared for Lan Xiangyuan."

"Nonsense, she doesn't like this style of brooch at all. This is clearly made according to my aesthetic." He Chang said righteously. "So admit it, what level is it? If it's exquisite or above, I'll go through fire and water for it; if it's excellent, I'll grit my teeth and accept it; if it's ordinary, you'd better give it to me for free, so that I'll be a little more loyal because I like its appearance."

"You've calculated things quite clearly," Nie Wan praised sincerely.

"So what grade is it?"

“It’s exquisite, but as I said, it’s a gift for Lan Xiangyuan. If you want one, I can make the same one for you.”

He Chang immediately shook his head: "Then forget it, I only want something unique."

After a pause, she couldn't help but say, "If you were a man, you would definitely be a scumbag that everyone hates. You don't even understand that being unique is more important than being the best."

"So what if I'm a woman now?"

"Nothing special, still a scumbag! I feel sorry for Yuan Yuan, so I'm sticking with you." He Chang said, then suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago when she logged off to ask Lan Xiangyuan for advice on guild management. She then said to Nie Wan, "A few days ago when I logged off, I saw that Lin Man looking for Yuan Yuan again. I thought about avoiding her, but I could feel her gaze on me, so I came out to say hello. Who is this person? I always feel like the way she looks at me is strange, a bit suspicious, and a bit... I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's the kind of look that needs to be described in a 'pie in the sky' way. I don't even know her, so why is she looking at me like that?"

Lan Xiangyuan had this same question before, and Nie Wan knew exactly what was going on after seeing Lin Man, but she couldn't possibly bring it up in front of the two of them.

"Maybe she's just curious about you. Don't worry about her. Just remember to retrieve your skills when you log off. It's the official base. No matter how curious she is or how much she tries to provoke you, as long as you don't take the bait, she can't just run into your room and stab you to death, right?"

“Yes.” He Chang responded, his gaze never leaving the ruby ​​and gold rose brooch that had been fused together and cooled in water.

Ruby and Gold Rose Brooch

[Item Description: Health +130, Life Points +120%, True Qi +90%, Vitality +10. (Optional)]

[Item Description: Can be upgraded.]

He Chang asked, "What does 'optional' in parentheses mean?"

Nie Wan replied, "You can only choose one of the three attributes. When you equip the item, the descriptions of the other two attributes will be invalidated."

"Those attributes seem pretty average." He Chang crossed his arms.

Having gotten used to the exquisite equipment and items dropped in dungeons, this brooch seems a bit lacking in stats.

But Nie Wan's words made her eyes widen again.

"This is upgradeable equipment."

"real or fake?"

She wasn't quite convinced, so she picked up the brooch and examined it closely. Sure enough, she saw the words "can grow" in the bottom right corner of the attribute panel.

Clicking on these three words reveals a storage area for items and experience.

The item currently has no experience points, so it's only level 0. The icons for new attributes and skills that need to be developed below the experience bar are all grayed out.

"That makes me a little tempted."

He Chang looked at Nie Wan again, trying one last time to plead for herself: "Really, you can't give it to me?"

"No."

"why?"

"Lan Xiangyuan has a brooch that is similar to it in real life."

He Chang raised an eyebrow, completely bewildered.

"What kind of excuse is that? You're not really playing me for a fool, are you?"

Nie Wan didn't speak, she just calmly looked back.

He Chang already knew Nie Wan quite well, and seeing her gaze, he knew she wasn't joking.

This absurd reason was actually her true feeling.

He Chang was even more confused: "I also have a lot of jewelry, why don't you make one for me in the game based on their appearance?"

"I don't have that ability yet, but I'll give it a try when I do."
