Xu Lang laid out all the respectable items, including the Ultimate Ice Vein and all the Blood Crystals.

"Let's hear your thoughts. Any ideas about these things?" Xu Lang said with a light smile, crossing his arms.

The women looked at each other, all falling into contemplation.

"I think we should learn the Blood Contract Skill first, then release the remaining Blood Crystals into the market," Sherry raised her hand and suggested.

"But how should we distribute them? There are at most two Pureblood Blood Crystals," Cao Yaxuan asked.

Sherry's expression immediately became conflicted as she said, "The quantity of good items is limited. In the end, someone will definitely have to sacrifice their own interests."

This foreign girl really didn't mince her words.

"That's not necessarily true," Xu Lang bridged his hands together, looked at Wang Yazhi and smiled, "Yazhi, you try one Pureblood Crystal first to test the effect. If it works well, I might be able to attempt an upgrade."

The women's eyes all lit up.

Wang Yazhi looked pleased and picked up the Pureblood Crystal, but after a few seconds she put it down with a strange expression: "This Blood Contract Skill conflicts with my Ethereal Energy, I can't learn it."

"Tong Qi, you try," Xu Lang looked at Tong Qi.

"Okay!" Tong Qi picked up the Pureblood Crystal, but put it down after a moment, shaking her head helplessly: "No good, it conflicts with my Sequence."

Blood Contract Skills having learning requirements was understandable since they were quite special, but surely not everyone would be unable to learn them?

Xu Lang frowned, picked up the Pureblood Crystal, and clicked to use it. No conflict warnings or similar prompts appeared.

The Pureblood Crystal directly merged into his palm.

His blood accelerated its flow, transporting power throughout his body. Xu Lang could almost hear the pounding of his pulse.

After a moment, he shared the information about the Blood Contract Skill.

Of course, Cao Yaxuan and the others couldn't see the upgrade conditions—even if Xu Lang wanted to share them, they wouldn't be visible.

[Blood Contract·Pureblood Vampire]

[Type: Special Skill]

[Level: 8]

[Effect: Greatly enhances explosive power, senses, and recovery ability based on own attributes; slightly increases charm]

[Introduction: With blood as the guide and soul as the bond, forge our immortal vampire bodies]

"It seems to lack the special abilities of vampires," Cao Yaxuan's pretty face showed a flicker of doubt.

"But it also doesn't have the annoying weaknesses of vampires fearing sunlight and silver items!" Xu Lang chuckled lightly, suddenly throwing a right punch.

Whoosh!

A blazing white streak suddenly appeared!

This was the air trail left by his arm!

Cao Yaxuan stared dumbfounded. Xu Lang's fists returned to his waist, and she hadn't even seen how he retracted them.

"My god, Lang Ge, your punching speed is even faster than Bruce Lee's!"

One punch, and the enemy wouldn't know what hit them!

Because their head would be blown off!

Xu Lang's punch wasn't just about speed—without sufficient explosive power, he couldn't throw punches that fast.

Next, Xu Lang began testing his physical attributes.

His speed was incredibly fast—simple running made him appear like a ghost!

His strength allowed him to easily lift a sofa with just one hand!

Cao Yaxuan kept swallowing nervously as she watched, because a question occurred to her.

Would Xu Lang's... that aspect be enhanced too?

He was already impressive enough—what would happen if it got even stronger?

She felt somewhat afraid.

Xu Lang sat back on the sofa without even breathing heavily.

Wang Yazhi said admiringly, "This seems similar to those percentage-based skills!"

The Blood Contract Skill didn't appear to add any extra attributes, but it was actually much better than directly increasing attributes.

Xu Lang considered carefully:

"Survival game skills all seem to work this way, but Blood Contract Skills provide more comprehensive enhancement."

"Many rare skills, even at low levels, are frequently used by high-level players like Rainy Night Blade."

To draw an analogy, Blood Contract Skills were like the level of the Nightmare Bed, while basic attributes were like the number of tenants.

Wang Yazhi nodded, withdrew her gaze from the Blood Crystals, circulated her Ethereal Energy through her body once, and cleared away distracting thoughts.

Ultimately, it wasn't meant to be for her.

"Lang, I want a Pureblood Crystal too!" Sherry eagerly raised her hand.

"Leave it to me," Xu Lang picked up a High-Level Blood Crystal.

Upgrading the Blood Contract Skill offered absolutely incredible value for money. Plus, Pureblood Crystals were level 8 while High-Level Blood Crystals were level 5—maybe he could skip levels!

Whether he could exploit a bug depended on this attempt!

However, after rubbing the High-Level Blood Crystal for a while, Xu Lang put it down again and shook his head: "Not possible right now, the feeling isn't there yet."

It seemed Sherry's combat power wasn't urgently needed at the moment.

Wasting Nightmare Coins was completely unnecessary.

It might even hinder his progress in upgrading the Nightmare Cot.

"Okay," Sherry looked somewhat dejected, her shoulders slumping and her jade-green eyes appearing pitiful.

Xu Lang found it quite amusing and was about to say something when Cao Yaxuan stared at the Ultimate Ice Vein and said, "Xu Lang, quickly try if you can use the Ultimate Ice Vein!"

Cao Yaxuan's eyes sparkled brightly, the smile at the corners of her mouth impossible to suppress, as if she was about to burst.

Xu Lang picked up the Ultimate Ice Vein.

[Ultimate Ice Vein conflicts with Blood Contract·Pureblood Vampire and cannot be used]

Xu Lang's mouth twitched. He put down the Ultimate Ice Vein and had Tong Qi and Wang Yazhi try it, but the results were the same. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Hahaha~~~" Cao Yaxuan laughed heartily with her hands on her hips: "I knew it!"

She had only just realized when she saw the Ultimate Ice Vein—after Xu Lang used the Pureblood Crystal, he might not be able to use the Ultimate Ice Vein!

"Sister Yaxuan is about to rise to power!" Tong Qi congratulated.

Everyone thought the Ultimate Ice Vein was already in Cao Yaxuan's possession—a level 10 Curio couldn't possibly be left gathering dust.

"I never said I definitely had to give the Ultimate Ice Vein to you," Xu Lang looked at Cao Yaxuan, his tone ambiguous.

Cao Yaxuan's laughter stopped abruptly, her pure eyes immediately filling with little pearls of tears.

Seeing how easily she couldn't take a joke, Xu Lang made a clicking sound and handed over the Ultimate Ice Vein.

The Ultimate Ice Vein was a level 10 Curio. Sherry's attribute points were too low, so using it on her would be somewhat wasteful.

"Really, you always like to tease me!" Cao Yaxuan's tears turned to laughter as she hugged Xu Lang and showered him with kisses: "Hubby is the best to me!"

Xu Lang smiled without speaking, some news reports coming to mind.

During peaceful times, how many men had angered women because of things like this, leading to breakups?

Countless!

Xu Lang had no doubt that Cao Yaxuan used to be that kind of person too.

And now she had been tamed—it had only taken about a month!

Hmph, if she didn't freeze him comfortably tonight, he wouldn't let Cao Yaxuan off!
