[Blood Crystal Core], [Sandworm Fangs x25], [Sandworm Armor Crush x10]

Xu Fan laid on the bed in his rented apartment as he counted the spoils of war that Ming Shu had brought back, thinking about his future plans.

[Mission: Upgrade to level 10 and forge your second artifact spirit. [Mission reward: Artifact Spirit Master Profession Skill, Unity of Strength]

He had read this sentence over and over again. Now that his level had reached the requirements, he had yet to decide what kind of Artifact Spirit he wanted to forge.

His roommate was working the night shift, so there were only he and Ming Shu in the rented house.

Looking at his simple single bed, Xu Fan could not help but frown. This couldn’t go on, the number of Artifact Spirits would only increase, and he couldn’t just stay here and cohabit with others. Before the arrival of the second Artifact Spirit, he should first find a sufficiently large residence.

Yes. Especially the bed. The bed had to be bigger. He couldn’t let the delicate artifact spirit girls sleep in the big bunk.

“Master?” Ming Shu had been sitting there quietly ever since she came back. Seeing Xu Fan’s strange expression, she tilted her head and asked.

“Nothing much. I’m just making plans for our future residence. Since we’re looking for a new house, Ming Shu, do you have any suggestions?”

“I wouldn’t dare. As long as it suits Master’s wishes, it’s fine. The black-robed beauty in ancient costume frowned slightly. Her every move was indescribably elegant.

“Okay.” Xu Fan nodded and picked up his phone to look for a new house. He casually instructed, “It’s getting late. Quickly turn off the lights and sleep.”

“Turn off the lights and sleep…”

Ming Shu, who was sitting on his bed, muttered to herself as she slowly got up. She walked to the wall and turned off the lights. Then, she slowly walked to Xu Fan’s bed and gently untied her belt with a red face.

A black robe with fine velvet and light gauze slipped down from her shoulders. Under the moonlight, Xu Fan could only see her flawless white skin and jade-like bones.

“Gulp!” He swallowed his saliva calmly and turned off his phone.

[Artifact Spirit Ming Shu, favorability increased by 30…31…32…]

…

The curtains were not closed. The next day’s noon sun shone directly on Xu Fan’s face, causing him to wake up. He yawned and slowly got up, but he could not see the figure of the person beside him.

He looked around and finally found Mingshu cleaning up at the entrance.

“We’re leaving soon. There’s no need to specially clean up the house. Xu Fan yawned, and his tone was still a little tired.

“I understand, but if I don’t pack properly, I’m afraid that Master will forget to take something.” Hearing Xu Fan’s words, Ming Shu slowly stopped what she was doing, but she still spoke with some worry.

“There’s no need. We have money now, so we can’t just buy whatever we want.” Xu Fan had already chosen a house last night. It was a high-end community that had just been built in the past two years.

The community was very close to the dungeon, and the functions in the community were quite complete. It was almost a place prepared for the job changers.

The most important thing was that the houses there were basically high-end single-family villas. Although the rent was high, it would cost nearly 80,000 to 90,000 coins in half a year, however, that was not a problem for the current Xu Fan.

He wasn’t an ordinary job changer. He didn’t need to go through the complicated process of forming a party to clear dungeons. Naturally, he didn’t need to share the loot or pay a commission. Moreover, he had the 500,000 coins he got from Tang Jing, plus some materials that had not been sold yet. No matter what, he could still survive.

After counting the drops of the blood-red sandworms and estimating their value, Xu Fan set off with Ming Shu.

Fang and Fragment Armor were basic materials that he didn’t have much use for. It was better to exchange them for cash.

After swiping their cards to enter the dungeon market, the duo quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd. The job changers beside them whispered to each other. Clearly, they recognized their identities.

“That guy just left the dungeon yesterday, and he already has enough items to sell today?”

“You might not know this, but that guy, Xu Fan, took the entire blood-colored sandworm’s spoils of war by himself yesterday.”

“F * ck, is that true? Alone? He fought one-on-one?”

“Not exactly. Do you see the girl next to him? She was the one who single-handedly killed the sandworm and gave all the spoils of war, including the experience points, to Xu Fan.”

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened.

“No, why? What is this girl after?”

“That kid doesn’t look like a rich man. How did he manage to keep such an outstanding woman by his side?”

“Maybe it’s a sweet love between two people?”

…

When Xu Fan placed the items in his backpack at the front desk of the exchange, the people around him were still discussing.

A sandworm fang could be sold for nearly 10,000 coins. Due to the large number of sales, the exchange directly offered a high price of 250,000 coins. The remaining shells were also sold at the same price. Ten pieces were worth 100,000.

In this way, including the 500,000 coins he got from Tang Jing, Xu Fan had a total of 850,000 coins. What was even more ridiculous was that he was a blacksmith himself. He did not need to spend a lot of money on updating and maintaining his equipment.

Just as everyone was watching him with envy as he took the salary card that was full of money and was about to leave, an extremely arrogant and expensive-looking sports car suddenly stopped at the entrance of the trading market.

Xu Fan had just walked out of the door when he almost ate a mouthful of sand. He cursed in his heart and subconsciously shielded Ming Shu behind him. After all, Mingshu was the only family he had left in this world.

[Artifact Spirit Ming Shu, favorability increased by 20]

Xu Fan was a little surprised to hear the system’s report He turned back to look at Mingshu, who was hugging his arm tightly and couldn’t help but feel happy. He did not expect such a small matter to increase his favorability.

The next moment, the car door opened, and a plump guy in a pure white suit got out of the car. He walked over to Ming Shu with a friendly smile: “Hello, Miss Ming Shu. I am the second son of the Liu family, Liu Yanfeng. This is just a small gift.”

As he spoke, he took out a black card from his pocket and handed it to Ming Shu.
