"You did it."

Li Ang patted the young girl's head, eliciting a silly smile.

The texture of her hair felt completely different from usual, changing from soft and silky to hard and curly.

Her delicate face, imprinted with tattoo-like red runes, exuded a kind of wild beauty. This wildness combined with the charm at the corners of her eyes was a completely different feeling from the holy yet tempting Holy Snake Stance.

An ancient-looking beaded necklace lay just above her collarbones, with the rounded end perfectly aligning with the shallow valley between the snowy hills.

"Ouch!"

Accidentally touching her beast ears, the young girl shivered and leaped to the ground, biting her lip.

"What's wrong?"

Carefully protecting the top of her head, Zoe's blood-red eyes darted around, saying nothing, only her tail gently swayed.

With this new stance, she had indeed grown much stronger.

[Name: Zoe]

[Race: Unknown]

[Profession: Swordsman, Tier 3. Elemental Master, Tier 3]

[Summoned Beast: Earth Serpent]

[Energy Source: Purest Star Crystal·Water, Tier 3 [Restricted]. Earth Serpent, Tier 4]

[Equipment: Star Soul Material Shield - Earth [Autonomous Defense], Tier 4]

[Secret Technique: Professional Secret Technique - Gales Linked Slash, Star Soul Secret Technique - Gemstone Beam, Extreme Cold Punishment]

[Skills: Star Soul Greenhouse, Star Soul Link [Earth's Favor (Grafting), Jadestone Power, Light of the Star Soul, Wind and Snow Birth [Pseudo], Frost Cold Control], Swordsman [Strong Physique, Morale Boost], Elemental Master [Elemental Arrow, Elemental Pain]]

[Combat Power Amplification: 37%]

The skills that belonged to Eden had completely transferred to her, and she even gained an additional secret technique.

However, due to the giant wolf's absence, she could not acquire energy of the same tier as the Earth Serpent, only relying on the power of the Purest Star Crystal.

Even so, the "Creation Formula" of the Star Soul provided pure energy, and if extreme strength was needed, she just had to mobilize the Earth Serpent.

"Oh, I'm so tired, so tired."

Dorothy and ALulu came over.

"Brother, we didn't let our friends get injured."

ALulu stood in front with a face full of smiles, even dust-covered, her pure beauty was not concealed.

"Thank you, it's all thanks to you."

The pink-haired young girl giggled, stepping forward.

But she forgot the thickness of her front armor, pushing Li Ang back half a step with her abundant softness.

Dorothy approached with her hand raised, the flame of the Holy Fire Technique glowing in her palm.

The half-elf pouted silently, just waving the flame at Li Ang.

"What are you doing?"

"What am I doing? Praise me!"

"Oh, not bad."

"How can you just say that?" Dorothy extinguished the holy fire.

"This is a spell you should have mastered in your teens, no progress at all, and you're prideful just by mastering it again?"

"Boo hoo. What do I do? ALulu is too reliable, my Healing Art wasn't even needed."

Ignoring this whining woman, Li Ang said, "Let's go back and eat."

"Okay!" Zoe and ALulu responded in unison.

The two little ones rushed forward, leading the way.

Dorothy quietly walked beside Li Ang, whispering, "I have made a lot of progress since I was sixteen, want to see?"

"Sometimes I really want to hit you..."

Although he didn't mean anything else at this moment, the half-elf wanted to take the opportunity to say something, he sighed helplessly and decided to ignore her.

On the way back, Dorothy remained silent.

After returning to town, he had the three of them rest at the inn, and Li Ang went to the Weapon House.

He had a previous agreement with the customers to exchange equipment for materials.

Interested people were already waiting at the Weapon House, spreading out the materials they brought in front of Li Ang, starting to bid.

"This time I need to pick some materials with specific inclinations," Li Ang said.

He listed a few targets, some customers were delighted, while others could only shake their heads helplessly.

Finally, a pile of small stones of various colors was stacked in front of him.

[Hard Stone]

[Gemstone Condensed from the Essence of Earth]

[Tier: 1]

[Spirituality: Condenses Earth Element]

[Purpose: Equipment Creation [Can Be Smelted], Alchemy, Casting Materials]

Besides the "Hard Stone" of the Earth Attribute, there was the Fire Attribute Spark Stone and the Wind Attribute Lightweight Stone of Tier 1.

These stones had been inconspicuous in the past, as they were the lowest tier attribute materials, commonly found everywhere.

Flashing Field was overly arid, so there was no Water Mist Stone instead.

The system description of these stones was almost identical to that of the Water Mist Stone. Li Ang set them aside and first made a piece of Tier Three Equipment for the person who provided the materials.

After this customer left, Li Ang began his own experiment.

He smelted three Hard Stones into a pair of gloves that included the beak and claws of the Sandstone Spiral Turtle.

[Superior Stone-Chiseling Gloves]

[Gloves crafted by combining Earth Attribute materials with Demon's Sharp Claws, following standard procedures, containing stackable Power of Earth]

[Tier: 2]

[Category: Gloves]

[Equipment Skills: Earth Array [Mountain Collapse]]

As expected, this was an Array Equipment.

Mass-producing Array Equipment on Satus Island made Li Ang hopeful about equipping future teammates with Array Equipment.

However, later crafted equipment no longer contained any Array Skills, which puzzled him.

Upon thoughtful consideration, he focused on the most inconspicuous material at the time, which was only used when nothing else was available. That was Water Mist Stone.

Before obtaining the system, he had never heard of Water Mist Stone being smeltable. Today's batch of stones was the same, and without the system's guidance on how to operate, even knowing it could be smelted, the essence couldn't be incorporated into the equipment.
