Chapter 58

The carriage stopped in front of Qin Ran's residence.

After paying the fare, Qin Ran, holding his dinner, opened the door.

Without using his eyes, Qin Ran could faintly sense Gong Lanshen's presence with his D-level perception.

"How was it?"

The Guardian Knight standing in the shadows asked.

"Everything went smoothly!"

Qin Ran took out a hot dog and said while eating.

"Hmm!"

"Do you still need me to explain the [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique]?"

Gong Lanshen nodded and asked.

"Of course!"

Qin Ran gave a definite answer.

Then the explanation began again.

After twenty minutes, Gong Lanshen emphasized once more.

"The [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique] is the foundation of everything!"

This emphasis had become the closing statement after each explanation over the past week.

"Understood!"

Similarly, Qin Ran always gave a clear and definite response.

"Qin Ran, you have truly mastered the basics of the [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique]. It will only take time to reach the beginner level—given your talent, it will take no more than a month! My experience is far less real than what you can discover on your own, and it might even restrict your path!"

"The [Bessica Kick Technique] is the same!"

Gong Lanshen advised Qin Ran.

For ordinary disciples, such explanations are necessary.

But that's only for ordinary disciples.

For a divine son, it is completely unnecessary!

Gong Lanshen, who was well-versed in all records of divine sons, knew very well how to cultivate one—just providing the most basic and primitive knowledge is enough.

The rest is just waiting.

Waiting for these most basic and primitive pieces of knowledge to blossom and bear fruit, becoming secret techniques that others cannot imagine.

If it weren't for the end of the Church's era,

Even if Qin Ran and he had a better relationship, and Qin Ran made more requests, Gong Lanshen would not teach Qin Ran in such a 'wrong' way.

This would completely destroy a divine son's potential.

It would make him rigid and mechanical.

But now?

Gong Lanshen looked at the contemplative Qin Ran, not knowing what to say.

"If it were fifty years ago, I would probably be on the stake, right?"

Gong Lanshen laughed self-deprecatingly.

Qin Ran, who seemed to be thinking, was actually checking the message records—

"[Skill proficiency in Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique increased due to explanation by a high-level skill user...]"

"[Skill proficiency in Bessica Kick Technique increased due to explanation by a high-level skill user...]"

...

"An additional way to improve skills beyond points and skill points!"

When Gong Lanshen casually mentioned some experiences about the [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique] and [Bessica Kick Technique], Qin Ran received such a system prompt.

The very clear system prompt made Qin Ran understand what he had encountered.

Although he was surprised by this method of improvement, Qin Ran had encountered similar experiences in other games.

Therefore, after being surprised, Qin Ran asked Gong Lanshen to explain the [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique] and [Bessica Kick Technique] to him daily.

The effect wasn't great!

But it wasn't bad either.

Without the immediate improvement from using points and skill points, it was better in that it required no cost, just listening quietly.

Of course, the prerequisite was enough time.

But clearly, Qin Ran didn't have enough time.

Whether it was the limited time of the main quest or the current side quest, Qin Ran felt like he was running around non-stop.

In fact, Qin Ran wished he could have the other person explain the [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique] and [Bessica Kick Technique] 24 hours a day, to elevate the two skills to a very high level.

But Qin Ran knew this was impossible.

Not to mention other factors, just Gong Lanshen's feelings alone would prevent Qin Ran from achieving this goal.

In this nearly real underground game, the opponents were not stiff, mechanical NPCs, but rather residents as real as in the real world.

"If I had another week, the [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique] and [Bessica Kick Technique] would almost be upgraded!"

Qin Ran sighed regretfully.

He couldn't check the exact progress of the [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique] and [Bessica Kick Technique] from the system information, but he could feel it.

When he learned the skills, the knowledge and coordination of his body had already made Qin Ran familiar with everything about the skills, including the vague perception of the next level or tier.

The regret in his heart did not make Qin Ran idle.

He knew what he had to do.

He quickly adjusted his mood and looked at the Guardian Knight beside him.

"The other party should be about to act!"

Qin Ran could easily imagine the library director's eagerness to act after he left.

The other party was not a very skilled spy; the intention to gather information was too obvious in his words.

"Then, 'Sworco' and 'Rushan' should also act!"

"I hope that guy can detect these two's actions!"

Gong Lanshen laughed.

"Don't worry, he will!"

Qin Ran assured.

Given the other party's influence in the city, discovering two traitors would be too easy!

Unless those two traitors never showed up again!

But how could that be?

After all, Qin Ran and Gong Lanshen had prepared for a long time.

...

The street was empty at night.

The sudden appearance of a figure would naturally be very noticeable.

Not to mention two figures appearing at once.

A tall and a short figure cautiously moved through the streets and alleys.

They moved carefully and cautiously.

They quickly arrived at the sewer entrance in a small alley next to the station.

The two figures exchanged glances, and the tall one lifted the manhole cover, while the thin one immediately climbed in, followed by the tall one.

Click!

When they entered the sewer, the manhole cover was carefully closed.

Just a moment later, another figure appeared there.

Compared to the previous two, this new figure was even more cautious.

However, as this figure entered the alley, a light suddenly turned on, illuminating the small alley.

At the same time, a dozen figures blocked both ends of the alley.

Among them, a tall, muscular figure, standing nearly two meters tall, was particularly noticeable.

However, this tall, muscular figure was insignificant compared to the person in front of him.

Because, whenever there was a change in the city, this person would always appear in the newspapers.

Lord Wayne!

Everyone respectfully called him that.

The successor of the noble family that overthrew the Dawn Church's rule in the city fifty years ago.

The head of the family that controlled most of the city's army and more than half of the political figures.

His actual age was over fifty.

But he was well-maintained and looked much younger.

He had brown curly hair, a fair complexion, sharp eyes, and a high nose.

If it weren't for those sharp eyes, he would look like a poor clerk in his simple clothing.

But with those eyes, everything was different.

The aura of a superior made people instinctively avoid his sharpness.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Detective Qin Ran!"

He said slowly, his sharp eyes filled with intense sarcasm.
