Jiang Kai distributed the remaining equipment, giving Hu Yan and Ruan Yu each a piece of brown bear leather armor and a pair of Rage Pants.

Since in the Calling, items of the same type cannot stack their effects, Jiang Kai gave another Ring of Spirit to Hu Yan.

Jiang Kai also needed to change into Night Pants and Ghost Armor.

After putting on the equipment, the three of them looked completely different.

The brown bear leather armor was actually an inner armor, made from complete and sturdy brown leather, with joints made of some high-density soft fiber material, allowing the wearer to move freely without any hindrance.

The armor's attribute enhancement was average, but it provided up to 7 points of defense, making it difficult to penetrate unless faced with a weapon with strong penetration power.

The Rage Pants offered a decent attribute boost, especially with an agility increase of 14 points. They were lightweight and provided extra fire resistance, making them cost-effective.

Hu Yan and Ruan Yu touched the leather armor on their bodies, feeling extremely excited.

"In the past, the guild's equipment could only be rented. Now we have our own gear!" Ruan Yu said excitedly.

"Yeah, before, all our money went to the guild. Who would dare to buy equipment?" Hu Yan also loved his new gear.

Before long, Jiang Kai also changed into his new equipment.

Upon seeing Jiang Kai's gear, Hu Yan and Ruan Yu were both taken aback.

"Captain Kai, your Ghost Armor is so thin," Hu Yan frowned. "It doesn't feel like armor, more like casual wear."

The name Ghost Armor sounded imposing, giving the impression of outer armor, but in reality, it was more like a black silk long-sleeved shirt...

Paired with the black Night Pants, it really didn't look like he was wearing armor.

Ruan Yu frowned, "This shirt doesn't block anything."

Jiang Kai shrugged, "The Ghost Armor doesn't have any defense, but at least it's lightweight."

"By the way, Ruan Yu, you used to work at a forge, right? I want to embed these two Strong Magnets into my gloves. Which shop in the main city is good?"

Hu Yan immediately replied, "Why go back to the city, Captain Kai? Just give the stuff to Ruan Yu, he can handle it. His skills are top-notch!"

Jiang Kai looked at Ruan Yu in surprise, "You can do it? Do you have the tools?"

Ruan Yu chuckled, "I've been in the main city for so many years, I know a bit of everything. I carry my tools with me, and sometimes I take on private jobs in the Safe Zone."

"Captain Kai, give me the gloves, the Strong Magnets, and the weapon you need to bind. I need... um... about an hour and a half."

Jiang Kai looked at Ruan Yu with surprise. This guy had a wide range of skills... but embedding a magnet took that long? Maybe his skills were broad but not deep.

Still, Jiang Kai thought embedding wasn't that hard, and giving it to someone he knew could save on forging fees.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

He handed the Arsonist's Gloves, the two Strong Magnets, and Nine Tribulations Chasing Death to Ruan Yu, who took them into the tent.

Soon, the sound of clinking came from the tent.

Since Ruan Yu needed more time, Jiang Kai told Hu Yan to focus on learning skills. This time, Hu Yan didn't say anything and eagerly went into his tent to learn new skills.

Jiang Kai sat in the camp and opened his watch.

Jiang Lan was receiving treatment at the military district hospital, and one great advantage of the military hospital was that they could directly accept Star Coins, saving Jiang Kai the hassle of exchanging for Alliance Coins offline.

After admission, Jiang Lan set up a dedicated medical account at the military hospital, which Jiang Kai could now check the balance of through his watch.

Jiang Kai noticed that his brother's account had received 200,000 and 100,000 Alliance Coins.

And now, the dedicated account had a balance of 19,000 Alliance Coins left!

"Before I logged into Calling this time, I transferred 200,000 to my brother and 100,000 to Ying. It seems Ying deposited all the money."

"But now there's less than 20,000 left... it looks like they've started some preliminary treatments."

Jiang Kai then transferred 300,000 Star Coins to the account, changing Jiang Lan's dedicated medical account to "300,000 Star Coins, 19,422 Alliance Coins."

With this money, his brother could not only undergo surgery smoothly, but his subsequent recovery and Ying's living expenses would also be more than sufficient.

After transferring the money, the huge burden in Jiang Kai's heart finally eased.

His original intention for coming to Calling was to cure his brother's illness, and now the money was finally enough.

"Brother, get well soon. Once I earn more money, I'll buy us a bigger house."

"Our family will definitely get better and better!"

The clinking sound from Ruan Yu's tent stopped, and Jiang Kai peeked inside, finding Ruan Yu sweating profusely as he dismantled his gloves with unknown tools... The two Strong Magnets had been polished into two smooth rectangular iron pieces, placed in a special container.

It seemed the delicate work was next, so Jiang Kai didn't disturb Ruan Yu and waited patiently outside.

After more than an hour, Ruan Yu came out with the Arsonist's Gloves and Nine Tribulations Chasing Death.

"How did it go?" Jiang Kai asked eagerly.

Ruan Yu scratched his head sheepishly, "Captain Kai, your situation is quite special. Since you use darts, the magnetism must be hidden during projection, or it will affect your attack."

Jiang Kai nodded, realizing he had overlooked this issue initially.

Ruan Yu handed the items to Jiang Kai, explaining as he did.

"I made some simple designs. First, I cut the Strong Magnets into nine small pieces, each binding to an individual dart."

"I embedded the nine magnets into different finger positions on the two gloves, four on the left hand, five on the right. Captain, you must remember the current position of each piece and the corresponding dart."

"Huh?" Jiang Kai was taken aback, not expecting Ruan Yu to be so meticulous!

In other words, when Jiang Kai retrieved the darts, he could no longer just recall them all at once. Instead, he had to match each one, using the corresponding Strong Magnet to retrieve each dart!

"Secondly, I added an anti-magnetic barrier inside the gloves. Normally, the Strong Magnets don't activate, so they won't affect your dart throws. Only when you quickly make two recall gestures with the corresponding finger, and the corresponding dart is not in hand, will the barrier deactivate, allowing the magnet to retrieve the dart. Once the dart returns, the magnetic effect disappears, and you can reuse the dart."

Jiang Kai was completely amazed. Ruan Yu's skills were so strong? Just these two designs were extremely challenging.

Fortunately, he understood the final result.

To retrieve the dart, he just needed to shake the corresponding finger twice.

"Captain Kai, these two Strong Magnets have strong magnetism. I suggest you practice more, or you might find it hard to get used to."

Jiang Kai nodded, "I do need to practice. Let's wait for Old Hu. Once he's done learning his new skill, we'll go outside the Safe Zone to try it out."

...

In the afternoon, after some resupply, the Fire God Squad left the Safe Zone.

In an open area, Jiang Kai threw a dart at a tree in front of him.

The dart pierced through the trunk and disappeared into the grass.

Jiang Kai stood still, quickly shaking his right index finger.

In an instant, a shadow shot out from the grass, faster than Jiang Kai had anticipated.

It's no exaggeration to say that the dart's return speed was several times faster than when it was thrown, meaning the force it carried upon return was stronger than when Jiang Kai threw it.

Fortunately, Jiang Kai had Ghost Eye and was prepared, allowing him to catch the dart.

"What a strong force!" Jiang Kai felt the immense power in his hand as the dart returned. "No wonder it's a top-grade gem-level Strong Magnet, the magnetic force is too strong!"

"But the strong magnetism also allows the dart to return to my hand faster, which is more advantageous than disadvantageous in combat!"

"Moreover, if the dart encounters a Beast during its return, it also has strong attack power!"

Jiang Kai squinted slightly.

This discovery seemed to open up a new attack method for him!

Although the dart couldn't inherit his Super Critical Strike effect when recalled, if Chasing Death was in a quenched state, the flame damage could inherit his Super Critical Strike effect!

Using the magnetic pull of the Strong Magnets, his dart could create a two-stage attack effect!

And the second stage of the attack was more concealed and unexpected!

The more Jiang Kai thought about it, the more excited he became. An inconspicuous magnetic stone had such a huge impact on his improvement!

"To master this attack method, I need to keep practicing!"

Jiang Kai continued to throw and retrieve the dart, his movements becoming more and more proficient, with the throw and recall becoming seamless, and the recall action becoming more concealed.

Through continuous practice, the nine Nine Tribulations Chasing Death darts shuttled back and forth in Jiang Kai's hands, making it impossible to tell how many darts he actually had!

In repeated practice, Jiang Kai also explored various attack methods.

For example, a two-stage attack with one dart, or a pincer attack with multiple darts, with so many variations that even Jiang Kai himself was a bit shocked.

As Jiang Kai was immersed in practice, a sudden thunderclap sounded nearby.

"Boom!" Jiang Kai and Ruan Yu turned their heads in surprise, seeing Hu Yan on a hillside, his hair disheveled, and his clothes fluttering.

"Rain, come!" Hu Yan shouted angrily, and another thunderclap erupted.

Immediately, a torrential rain began to fall over their heads!
