Erin eventually put the mask back on. The mask had been with her for years, and it seemed that it was about to become a part of her. Taking it off in front of Ji Ran was already an inexplicable act that made her feel inexplicable, and it was impossible to expose the scar like this all the time.

After that, Ji Ran was still working with Erin in the lounge dealing with various materials. As if nothing had happened to Erin, she was still at ease.

Although Ji Ran had a little more things to do in his heart, he didn't show how he didn't adapt. Because he knew that if that was the case, it would inevitably make Erin even more uncomfortable.

However, in this process, Erin did not take her little feet back at all, and occasionally unconsciously moved her toes a few times, and Ji Ran was even more blushing and heartbeat, and her mouth was dry.

He knew that his appearance must have been seen by Erin, and he didn't know what she was thinking...... Think you're a pervert, or do you think it's funny?

Anyway, it's definitely a shame for him...... But he couldn't take his eyes off it, and after a while, he couldn't help but glance over and look twice......

Under such ordeal, the day passed like this. It wasn't until Les below let out a long roar of excitement that Ji Ran had an excuse to run downstairs.

Les now exudes a different spirit, and even a pair of eyes even emit a fine light. The momentum on his body has changed greatly, making his whole person look different.

"Ji Ran, I think I can advance to the gold level at any time now!" Les looked at Ji Ran excitedly. His expression at the moment was like that of a young man in his twenties.

"Uncle Rice, calm down...... Before, your mind was a little too depressed. But now you. A little too excited. None of this is a good thing! Seeing Rice like this, Ji Ran knew that his state of mind had made a great breakthrough - but this was not entirely a good thing.

The rapid change of mood made Les himself a little unsure.

Les was startled when he heard Ji Ran's words, then took a deep breath, closed his eyes and stood maliciously, and when he opened it again, the whole person became calm again.

"I'm sorry. Just made you see the joke. Sure enough, my state of mind cultivation is still not enough, and there is still a distance from the golden level. Les sat down again and poured himself another glass of amber light.

"Don't worry, Uncle Rice, your progress is already fast. The most important thing about the state of mind is to find a balance. Only by grasping that state of mind will it be less likely to have problems when breaking through the golden level...... Don't rush, take your time. With your current condition, break through the Golden Tier. Not a problem at all. ”

Ji Ran comforted Rice. In fact, it is true, and it is almost a sure thing that Rice will break through the golden level. The difference lies in the time before and after. But you can't be anxious, otherwise, you may taste the bitter fruit of failure.

Although there will be a chance after failure, the difficulty of breaking through again is not the same as the first time. And because of psychological problems, breaking through the golden level of successful promotion again, I don't know how many times less than the golden level that was promoted for the first time.

Ji Ran naturally didn't plan to let Rice challenge his limits - if he could break through once, it would naturally be better to break through once.

Les naturally understood this truth, so he smiled: "I also know that it was a strange feeling that suddenly rushed into my mind just now, and I felt this way." Now mine has calmed down...... It seems that if you want to be promoted, it will take a certain amount of time......"

Rice is also a little helpless now. Originally, his idea was to keep breaking through in battle, and then naturally advance to the gold rank. But Ji Ran believes that that kind of promotion method is not particularly cost-effective in general.

It is indeed not a problem to break through in battle, and the final cumulative breakthrough to the gold level is indeed not a problem, and the strength is also amazing after promotion, but with that promotion method, it is difficult to make weapons promote at the same time - and the road forward in the future is not very broad.

The reason for this is the problem of mood. If the state of mind is not enough, no matter how strong the combat power is, the road after the Golden Rank will be extremely difficult.

Ji Ran Tong guò some data research, plus some discussion with Professor Lawrence, came to this conclusion. Of course, Rice himself knows something...... It is impossible for the great noble families to be ignorant of this aspect.

That's why he calmed down and exercised his state of mind. Originally, after more than ten years of training, his mood should be quite good, but now he realized that it was far from enough.

Fortunately, Ji Ran has too many methods in his hands to hone his mood...... If it weren't for the fact that he really wouldn't, he would even want Les to pick up a brush to write two large characters or draw a landscape painting or something...... It turns out that there are too many ways to hone one's mind in the ancient eastern countries of the world.

In any case, Rice's state of mind is indeed steadily improving. With this epiphany, I'm afraid it won't be long before a promotion ceremony can be arranged for Rice.

But now, Ji Ran has other things to do.

Spring is approaching, but there is still some time. For the time being, everyone doesn't plan to go out, so now, Ji Ran plans to find some materials to help Erin remove her scars.

That cooking recipe is called honey-melted pearl soup. As the name suggests, there are at least two ingredients in this recipe: honey and pearls.

And as a special cooking recipe in the Xianxia game, this honey and pearl obviously can't be ordinary goods. Of course, ordinary honey and pearls can also make this dish, but at most it has a slight skin care effect.

Ji Ran had no intention of doing a cosmetics business—although he knew it was a huge profit, and that was true in any world. But he was completely unfamiliar with the market and didn't have that much time and energy. If he makes money, the winery now makes enough money for him to spend...... What's more, if he is really short of money, he can still refine some things by himself and sell them.

If you want to help Erin remove the scar, the materials used are naturally as advanced as possible.

In this world, there are also bee-like monsters and mussel-like monsters. The former produces high-quality honey, while the latter produces pearls that can be used as alchemical materials. Ordinary ones are fine, really high quality of these two materials. The price is quite expensive. And rare.

But this kind of thing. It's still available in the market. For example, high-grade Warcraft bees are raised by people - so the honey is naturally endless. It's a pity that raising mussels seems to be too difficult in this world, and pearls can only be obtained by those adventurers who hunt magical beasts on the seashore or even at sea.

Luckily, this is Perth City. As long as you put your mind to it, you can basically find things on this continent.

Ji Ran walked around the market and finally bought a large jar of honey and a few pearls. Both of these are fourth-class materials. The price is quite expensive. However, Ji Ran still has tens of thousands of gold coins on him, and it is not that he can't afford to spend it.

In addition, Ji Ran also got a surprise.

He found rice!

That's right, it's the kind of rice he used to eat in the original world...... And the rice in this world is slightly different from the original world, with larger, crystal clear, and a little green...... Judging from Ji Ran's experience, this is definitely the best rice!

"This is something I managed to get from the Elven Forest...... You know, the elves don't like to sell this food to humans. So. The price is ......"

The merchant who sold the rice seemed to be very well-connected, and he was ecstatic when he saw Ji Ran. I was secretly happy in my heart. This time, I was able to make a good profit.

I thought that I would be able to make a fortune in the human world by going to great lengths to get this kind of elven specialty food crop from the elves, but I didn't expect that no one liked to eat this thing! It's not just that they don't like to eat it, they can't even do it...... I've tried it myself, but it's not good to crush rice into flour and use it to make bread...... Therefore, he can only hope that those who are curious can buy it back and try it.

And this person actually plans to cover it all! It's a pity that he asked the price before...... But no matter what, I can finally get rid of this pile of money-losing goods, and I can make a little profit!

The merchant's rice didn't have much, hundreds of kilograms, but it was also a surprise to Ji Ran. Save some food, enough to eat for a long time.

White rice...... It's really been a long time since I've eaten it.

Although Ji Ran lives in the north, the place where he lives is also a large producer of rice, and the rice produced is also very delicious. However, it seems that these rices that produce the Elven Forest seem to taste better.

After buying enough things, Ji Ran happily returned to the small building. But he didn't know that there were several people in the crowd staring at him.

"No chance...... He has been in a place where the crowd is relatively concentrated and cannot make a move. George, who was staying in a hotel, slammed his hand on the windowsill. finally waited for Ji Ran to go out alone, but he couldn't do it - killing people on the street in Perth City, even he didn't have the courage.

"But it doesn't matter, there are always times when you are alone in a sparsely populated place...... I don't believe you're always so lucky! George's eyes were full of viciousness, and he looked at the small building in the distance.

Ji Ran's perception is very strong, but in the crowd, he must not be able to play it all...... You can't just look at yourself and react, right? So, for the stalker, he didn't find out. But if it was Erin, she would definitely be able to find the person who was following her...... The Elven Ranger is much stronger than Ji Ran's perception in this regard.

Back in the small building, Ji Ran ran to the kitchen. After a while, the honey-melted pearl soup was made by Ji Ran.

"Drink it and try it...... I can't guarantee that it will work, but it doesn't hurt. ”

Ji Ran gave the honey-melted pearl soup to Erin. He had seen the properties of this thing before, and it was written that he could change his appearance and repair his appearance defects for a certain time. Sure enough, in this world, the properties of such food have also changed.

And there is another one under this, the effect of continuous use of this food of the same grade will gradually decrease, the lower grade will not have an effect, and only the high grade will have an enhanced effect...... It seems that this thing can't be used as a cosmetic product.

But it doesn't matter, Ji Ran cooked this, just to remove the scars on Erin's face. Judging from the attributes, it should have an effect.

Erin was noncommittal, picked up the bowl of soup, and ate it slowly.

"Take a break, wait until it's time for dinner, and then you tell me what the reaction is." Ji Ran instructed Erin. It must take some time for this food to take effect, much slower than a potion. In half a day, I can see some of it. (To be continued......)
