Fu Qin stood up, feeling quite proud as he looked at the satisfied smiles on the three girls' faces.
These three Magical Artifacts would not only enhance their strength but also further close the distance between them.
At that moment, outside the door, Oscar, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San were peeking through the crack.
Oscar's face was filled with envy and resentment; he hadn't expected Fu Qin to be so generous.
[Ding! Detected Oscar's inner feelings shifting from resentment to envy.]
[Intelligence Reduction Halo activated. Oscar's resentment value has been converted into envy value for the Host.]
[Current Envy Value +50, Total Envy Value: 99.]
Looking at the information on the panel, Fu Qin's eyes twitched slightly.
'Good grief. When facing people who can harm me, the Intelligence Reduction Halo makes them think I'm a good person.'
'When facing those who can't harm me, the halo makes them feel only envy instead of hatred.'
'Is this the legendary powerless rage?'
Under the influence of the Intelligence Reduction Halo, Dai Mubai and Tang San didn't feel anything was amiss when they saw this scene.
Tang San, in particular, was genuinely happy for Xiao Wu after hearing that the items Fu Qin forged had such effects.
After all, Xiao Wu's Spirit Beast aura had always been his only weakness.
Now that the Spirit Beast aura was masked, Xiao Wu wouldn't have her identity discovered by those powerful experts.
"This Magical Artifact thing Fu Qin made seems really powerful!" Ma Hongjun whispered, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Third Brother, aren't you his good big brother? Can you get Fu Qin to forge one for each of us?"
Dai Mubai also nodded, his eyes full of praise. "Indeed, this Magical Artifact is a bit heaven-defying. It can completely rival the boost of a Thousand-Year Spirit Bone!"
Oscar quickly chimed in, "Exactly! If we each had one, our combat power would definitely increase significantly!"
Hearing their words, Tang San was actually somewhat tempted. He planned to find an opportunity to ask Fu Qin if he could help them make one or two Magical Artifacts.
But soon, Dai Mubai and the others' conversation drifted off course.
After all, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong had just kissed and hugged Fu Qin for real.
However, Tang San frowned and shook his head at the three of them.
"Don't misunderstand Fu Qin. He's not that kind of person."
Under the influence of the Intelligence Reduction Halo, he still firmly believed that Fu Qin was his good brother.
"Xiao Wu kissing him and Rongrong hugging him was just out of gratitude. You guys are overthinking it."
He paused, and seeing Fu Qin's shy appearance, he became even more certain of his thoughts.
"Look at Fu Qin, he's so embarrassed from being kissed by them. He's clearly a pure-hearted person. How could he possibly do such things?"
Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun looked at each other, all seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.
They were just saying it, but Tang San actually took it seriously again.
...
Inside the room, Fu Qin sensed the presence outside the door vanish. The shy expression on his face instantly faded, replaced by a playful smile.
He looked at the three beautiful girls before him, feeling incredibly comfortable.
Seeing the skyrocketing favorability, the moment he would completely take Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing for himself was getting closer and closer.
"So, are you satisfied with these three Magical Artifacts?" Fu Qin asked with a smile.
"Satisfied! Very satisfied!" Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong said in unison, their faces full of joy.
Zhu Zhuqing also nodded, a rare smile appearing on her cold face. "Thank you, Brother... Fu Qin."
...
At dusk.
Tang San crept up to Fu Qin's door.
Ever since he saw the shimmering Magical Artifacts in the hands of Xiao Wu and the other two at noon, his heart had been burning with excitement.
"Fu Qin, are you free right now?" Tang San knocked lightly on the wooden door, his voice carrying a hint of urgency.
The door creaked open. Fu Qin, dressed in black, leaned against the doorframe, a deep smile in his eyes.
"Third Brother, you've come at the right time. I guess Sister Xiao Wu must have told you about the Magical Artifacts."
The two entered the room and sat down. A fragment of a Spirit Bone, emitting the rich fluctuations of a Thousand-Year Spirit Bone, appeared in Fu Qin's palm.
"The source of Xiao Wu and the others' Magical Artifacts is this Spirit Bone. Of course, since it's broken, it can no longer be fused by anyone," he said calmly, but his words were like a thunderclap in Tang San's ears.
"While tracking the Titan Giant Ape the other day, I happened to encounter a thousand-year Spirit Beast blocking the way. I killed it casually, and I didn't expect such a treasure to drop."
Tang San's pupils shrank, and his fingertips unconsciously gripped his sleeves.
A Thousand-Year Spirit Bone! That was a supreme treasure Spirit Masters dreamed of, something many people couldn't obtain even with all their effort. Yet Fu Qin actually used it to forge auxiliary weapons for three support system Spirit Masters?
Such a grand gesture and such boldness were simply inconceivable!
He had thought Fu Qin was just powerful, but now he realized the other's magnanimity far exceeded that of ordinary people.
A warm current surged in his heart, and his favorability toward Fu Qin instantly exploded.
[Tang San's Favorability +50, Current Favorability: 229 points.]
"Fu Qin, you..." Tang San was momentarily speechless, not knowing what words to use to express his admiration.
Fu Qin smiled. With a flip of his hand, eight streaks of deep blue sword light suddenly flashed, circling and dancing in the room. The bone-chilling aura made the air seem to freeze.
"Third Brother, this is what I refined for myself, the demon spider flying sword." He pointed a finger, and one of the flying swords instantly stopped before Tang San's eyes, its blade covered in fine spider patterns.
"By chance, I encountered a Man Faced Demon Spider. Although its spirit ring attributes didn't match mine, the texture of its spider leg Spirit Bone was hard, making it perfect for refining flying swords."
"A Man Faced Demon Spider?!" Tang San stood up abruptly, his face written with shock.
In his past life, when he first encountered a Man Faced Demon Spider, he would have likely died if not for the help of Hidden Weapons.
Fu Qin not only encountered it but could also kill it and refine it into a weapon. To what extent had his strength reached?
What warmed his heart even more was that even though Fu Qin needed Spirit Bones himself, he prioritized Xiao Wu and the others.
Under the subtle influence of the Intelligence Reduction Halo, the slight wariness in Tang San's heart caused by the strength gap had long since vanished, leaving only pure admiration and trust.
Fu Qin retracted the flying swords, his tone carrying a bit of apology.
"Actually, I wanted to refine a handy Magical Artifact for you too, Third Brother. Unfortunately, there was only one Thousand-Year Spirit Bone, and I couldn't gather the other materials, so..."
"Fu Qin, you don't need to blame yourself!" Tang San waved his hand quickly, his tone sincere.
"My own strength is enough for self-preservation. These so-called Magical Artifacts you refine aren't a necessity for me."
"The fact that you were thinking of me is enough to make me endlessly grateful." He truly thought so. Fu Qin's generosity had already exceeded his expectations; how could he ask for more?
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Tang San stood up to take his leave.
Not long after.
He told Dai Mubai and the other two about this, letting them also see Fu Qin's loyalty.
Back at the Shrek students' residence, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar were sitting together practicing.
Hearing Tang San's account, Dai Mubai slammed the table, his face full of admiration.
