Xu Ran was surprised, seriously looking at Uncle Ye.
Uncle Ye laughed for a while, then gradually turned serious: "At night, there are monsters with Qi Blood Values of seven to eight hundred thousand; the battles are even more fierce and ruthless, like they are going mad, never stopping unless one dies. Do you want to try?"
Xu Ran, adept at flexibility, immediately changed his mind: "Forget it, I'll carve talismans at night. Compared to facing a few middle-tier monsters, carving talismans is clearly more profitable."
Indeed.
Efficiency matters in everything.
If you want to enhance the Paperman Legion and obtain the Ten Thousand Tribulations Flame, the most efficient method is to crush the weak.
Slice by slice, just finish them off quickly.
No need for Xu Ran to condense Seeds of Faith, no need to perform Super Explosion Slash.
He currently has over three thousand points of Spiritual Power, and at most can only condense ten Seeds of Faith, so why bother with middle-tier monsters?
Efficiency is king!!!
Moreover.
The five Mo Blade generals already at their limits only have a kill line of 610,000. There's really no need to face opponents with seven to eight hundred thousand Qi Blood Value.
"Retreat!"
The two returned to the Sixth Safe Zone.
Uncle Feng and the others were still catching up on sleep.
Xu Ran and Ye Ping opened another room.
At night.
From six to eleven, Xu Ran's time was entirely dedicated to carving talismans.
Mainly carving the [Small Doubling Treasure Talisman]... this thing was about to be used soon—over a hundred days before the national Godslaying Squad selection competition, he needed to prepare at least 700 [Little Doubling Talismans]
In one evening, three hundred and fifty [Small Doubling Treasure Talismans] were completed. With two more days of drawing, he'd meet the competition's needs.
A piece of cake.
After a busy time.
Xu Ran washed up and went to sleep.
The next day.
Adolescence, day 3146.
Xu Ran arrived at the Outer City.
Previously, the principal had called Auntie Xiao Miao, Uncle Li Wei, and Uncle Fu Lin to protect him; they watched him from the city wall.
"Little guy, yesterday we didn't even have a chance to greet you before you ran off. In such a hurry?"
Yesterday, Xu Ran stayed only for half an hour.
Their battle with Yue Realm Ghosts wasn't over yet before Xu Ran left.
By the time they repelled the enemy, it was already noon, and back then they only saw news of Xu Ran — the "One Man Army" appeared in other safe zones, quickly did his thing, and moved on.
Xu Ran gave a gentle smile: "Auntie Xiao Miao, Uncle Wei, Uncle Lin, I was busy training and didn't have time to greet you."
"Busy is great, busy is great..."
"By the way, I have a few gifts for you."
As he spoke.
Xu Ran took out several [Small Doubling Treasure Talismans], [Little Purification Treasure Talismans], [Minor Circulation Treasure Talismans]...
The golden talismans emitted a strange energy and light, making the three stand in awe.
"What are these? They look different from the usual."
"These are talismans I carved."
"This is called [Small Doubling Treasure Talisman], stick it on, and your cultivation speed increases by 50%. This is called [Little Purification Treasure Talisman], stick it on yourself or objects to purify contamination. This is called [Minor Circulation Treasure Talisman], used with the [Small Doubling Treasure Talisman]..."
Xu Ran explained in detail.
The three stood still, eyes widening.
"Talismans? A whole new system? Could it be true?"
Xu Ran casually said, "Take it back and try it, you'll see."
The three carefully accepted the talismans, oblivious to any 'oddness' they might contain: "Thank you, little guy. Is there anything you need help with?"
Xu Ran thought for a moment: "Not really. I'm here to kill ghost creatures. You guys go hold off the Yue Realm Ghosts!"
"Alright, there have been more Yue Realm Ghosts recently, we must engage in battle."
And so.
A group of people headed to the battlefield.
Half an hour later.
Xu Ran finished crushing the weak.
He recalled the Paperman Legion, preparing to shift position.
Behind him.
Seven members of the Purifying Soul Godslaying Squad landed by his side.
Ahao: "So, little guy, do you have enough?"
Xu Ran shook his head: "Far from enough, still lacking over three hundred thousand."
Lin Feng patted Xu Ran's shoulder: "How about taking you to the Contaminated Area?"
Xu Ran's eyes lit up: "I couldn't ask for more!"
Fighting through nine safe zones was actually quite tiring, mainly because all the time was spent traveling, and the inefficiency was infuriating.
"Then let's go."
A party of ten slipped out of the Safe Zone.
Seven from the Godslaying Squad, one Ye Ping, and as for the other two... the main body was invisibly lying on Lin Feng's back, the false body on Ye Ping's back.
...
Three days later.
The group of ten dusty individuals returned to the Sixth Safe Zone.
It was approaching darkness outside.
It seemed to be evening.
"You've worked hard, little guy, and you're quite ruthless in battle."
"In just three days, you've swept through three hundred thousand beasts. Remember when we were eight, did we have this kind of ability?"
"Even among super geniuses, there are gaps."
Ahao burst into hearty laughter: "Moreover, your talisman system is truly defying the heavens. Setting up Concealment Talismans and Purification Talismans in the cave allows us to sleep peacefully."
"Hahaha, will you be able to supply us with such talismans regularly in the future?"
"If we can hide in the cave and sleep soundly, then in the Contaminated Area, we won't be so exhausted. Maybe we can explore further! Find more intel and resources."
"We'll act as your bodyguards from time to time."
Xu Ran smiled warmly: "Of course, I will take the time to carve, and each Godslaying Squad will be allocated a batch of talismans. Arm you all to increase survival rates."
The group nodded solemnly: "I'll thank you on their behalf first."
Xu Ran waved his hand: "It's nothing. Without the Godslaying Squad finding the [Light Turtle Shell] I wouldn't have been able to learn this good stuff. Everyone for me and I for everyone."
The Light Turtle Shell allowed him to shorten the grind for [High-level Comprehension] and enabled him to acquire the Purification Talisman, Armor Immortal Talisman, Spirit Gathering Talisman, and Vajra Talisman.
