Forging Equipment

"Boxing gloves."

After sketching it out for Lan Xiaoke, Ye Chuan directly began forging.

"Ding, ding ding!" The forging animation started playing on his phone, strike after strike, sparks flying, accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, which actually gave Ye Chuan a rather stress-relieving feeling.

Soon, after the animation ended, a window popped up.

[Forging successful. Please name it.]

A pink rabbit boxing glove appeared. Ye Chuan took it out, gave it a random name, and then began checking its attributes.

[Rabbit Boxing Gloves

High-grade Spiritual Artifact

Small chance to inflict fear effect when attacking. Though it looks soft, cute, and adorable, one punch can pierce through a stone wall.]

"Not bad?" Ye Chuan looked at the pink rabbit boxing glove in his hand and tossed it directly to Lan Xiaoke.

"Try them on."

"So fast?" Lan Xiaoke was stunned. She had been sitting right next to Ye Chuan, just watching him rub a ball of light in his hands, and then equipment popped out in no time.

"Try them."

Lan Xiaoke put the gloves on. After channeling her spiritual energy, the gloves began to glow, and even the pink rabbit ears on them started to wiggle.

"Seems pretty good." Lan Xiaoke threw a few boxing moves on the spot. "Whoosh, whoosh whoosh."

However, her form wasn't very professional, so it looked a bit comical.

"Hi-yah! Divine Strong Kick!" Lan Xiaoke punched the sofa, instantly stirring up a wave of force. The perfectly fine fabric sofa was instantly blown to pieces, its stuffing scattering everywhere.

The air fell deathly silent.

Lan Xiaoke turned her head, first glancing at Ye Chuan's expressionless face, then scratched her head. "Ahaha, ahaha, the sofa just exploded by itself, how strange, haha. I'm going back to my room now, I won't disturb you, I'm off."

Just as Lan Xiaoke was about to make a run for it, a hand clamped down on her shoulder. "Scaredy-cat, where do you think you're going?"

"I-I'm going to my room... Ouch ouch ouch, my bones, my bones are going to crack!"

In the end, Lan Xiaoke knelt on the floor, cleaning up the mess.

"The cost of the sofa will be deducted from your allowance," Ye Chuan said, arms crossed.

"Wuwuwu, I didn't do it on purpose."

Right at that moment, Ye Yue, hearing the commotion outside, came out of her room. Seeing Ye Chuan, she immediately smiled sweetly and sidled up to him. "Brother, what are you guys doing?"

"Huh? Sister Xiaoke is here too. Why did you get cotton stuffing all over the floor?" Ye Yue said. "You shouldn't do that. If you make brother angry, you'll get thrown out."

"Not like me, I only know how to feel heartache for brother."

The white-haired girl pouted.

"I've been learning a bit lately, forging weapons and equipment and such," Ye Chuan explained to Ye Yue as well. Hearing that Ye Chuan could actually forge weapons and equipment, Ye Yue also seemed a bit surprised.

"That sounds like a game setting. Brother can make equipment?"

"Do you have any equipment you need?" Ye Chuan asked Ye Yue.

Although Ye Yue's fighting style was the most unique, relying on just cognitive pollution could easily handle the vast majority of enemies. Moreover, Ye Yue's body wasn't ordinary flesh and blood; every blood vessel could serve as a weapon.

"Equipment..." Ye Yue actually gave it serious thought.

"Brother, I'm just an ordinary girl. I don't need to carry weapons."

Ordinary...

"Okay, no problem." Ye Chuan patted Ye Yue's head. She rubbed her cheek against his palm, but several bloody cracks split open on her neck, extending tendrils covered in eyeballs that wrapped around Ye Chuan's wrist.

"Brother~"

"Ahem." Since Ye Yue didn't need any, Ye Chuan thought for a moment and finally went to knock on Lilith's door.

"Lilith."

"Lilith?"

He hadn't seen much of Lilith recently either. When Ye Chuan pushed the door open, he saw a petite little loli standing there, wearing pajamas and looking drowsy.

"What?"

Seeing that Lilith had shrunk again, Ye Chuan was taken aback. "How did you... become like this again?"

"Energy saving," Lilith said simply and directly.

Now Lilith could switch between sizes at will.

Adjusting size on the spot.

However, growing larger consumed a lot of magic power. Even though she had the freedom to choose, Lilith had grown accustomed to her shrunken form.

Besides, Ye Chuan had once said she was cute like this.

"Huh?" Upon learning Ye Chuan's purpose, Lilith looked at him very seriously. "You're saying you want to use your inferior, low-grade materials to forge a piece of equipment for the greatest, most formidable witch in history, is that it?"

Ye Chuan nodded. "Is that not okay?"

"Your equipment can't withstand my magic power, nor my words of power," Lilith said bluntly.

She didn't believe Ye Chuan could make something suitable for Lilith to use.

"Well, but seeing as you're so sincere..." Lilith twirled a strand of her hair around her finger, thinking for a few seconds. "Make me a tea set."

"I'm making equipment, not tea sets," Ye Chuan reminded her.

"If you can't even make a tea set properly, how can you make good equipment?" Lilith asked.

"That makes some sense." So Ye Chuan started hand-crafting a tea set on the spot, though the materials he used this time weren't too complex, since it was just a tea set after all.

"Ding, ding!" Crisp clanging sounds came from the phone.

Soon, a tea set was designed and produced by Ye Chuan.

"You... made it?" Lilith hadn't waited long before she saw Ye Chuan hand-craft a tea set right there.

"Yeah, and I made it extra cute on purpose." Ye Chuan pointed at the rabbit-patterned teacup in his hand.

Lilith: "..."

"Do I seem very childish in your eyes?"

"As cute as you are."

Lilith: "..."

Lilith didn't say anything else. She just silently accepted the tea set, turned around, and closed the door.

However, she left a ball of light behind.

The ball of light emitted a fluorescent glow, and the aura emanating from it seemed exceptionally profound.

Ye Chuan glanced at it and found it was a strand of pure magical energy. He directly absorbed it.

He felt his attributes had improved a little.

Consider it Lilith's thank-you gift.

Although Lilith was a bit tsundere, Ye Chuan had pretty much figured out how to interact with her.

Sometimes he found Lilith quite cute, even her annoyed huffs were cute.

Although she always acted very mature, a lot of Lilith's behavior was actually childish.

Yes, Ye Chuan meant when she was shrunken. When she transformed into the great witch, her personality seemed different again.

"Next..." Ye Chuan originally thought of looking for Ke Ning, but worried he might disturb her research. Moreover, Ke Ning's ability, the Rubik's Cube V2 by her side, already had the function of creating objects.

"Then I'll ask Qian Shuang and Luo Xi."
