Pingru’s attitude was extrely sincere, but Yang Yu still didn’t agree in the end.
He had indeed decided that if they could take down the [Red Fla Monarch]Ammonval in one go, they would aim to finish it in one shot—but who knew what trump cards that guy had.
If they really couldn’t win, Yang Yu and the others could only grease their heels and run as far as their legs would take them.
Since the plan was made by his own people, Yang Yu felt no psychological burden about running away.
Bringing along an extra deadweight—who might even disobey orders at critical monts—would make things very hard for Yang Yu.
To get Pingru to completely trust him and follow his commands to the letter would take a huge amount of ti talking with her, and just as much ti confirming whether that communication had actually sunk in.
In a situation this urgent, Yang Yu feared that before he even lost patience, Pingru would lose hers first, turning all his efforts into bubbles.
The more crucial the battle, the more cautious Yang Yu beca.
The plan to defeat the Demon King had already taken its first step; any mistake could cause all their previous efforts to go up in smoke.
"...If you really want to take part in this war, you should first contact this country’s Governor and have him assign you work and deploynt.
But I still think you should stay with your own comrades.
In your eyes, defending the royal capital might be boring, but that’s also an extrely important Task.
The Demon Clan might very well mount a surprise Attack on the royal capital, and you are the guarantee for the Royal Family.
In a tense situation like this, the royal capital is the brain; you have to be the helt that protects that brain.
You don’t actually think that without a brain, the body can still function normally, do you?"
After much earnest persuasion, Yang Yu finally got Pingru to accept reality; she loosened her clenched hand and stopped pestering him:
"I said almost the sa thing to our leader...
I originally planned to show you my strength and try again, but it looks like there’s no need.
Forget it, I ended up doing sothing annoying without even realizing it...
If you won’t accept my request, then you won’t accept it.
I just hope you won’t regret this decision when you run into a crisis."
Slowly undoing the buttons of her long robe, Pingru handed the slightly puffed-out purple-gold robe to Yang Yu and reminded him:
"You’d better take good care of this.
This is hard-won loot we got out of an Underground Maze.
This piece of Equipnt ans a lot to .
If it gets damaged, I’m coming after you for it."
The item he wanted was right in front of him, yet Yang Yu didn’t imdiately reach out to take it; he couldn’t guarantee he could return this Equipnt in perfect condition.
"I can’t make that kind of promise to you.
The Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon World don’t ss around. Once he understands what’s Special about this Equipnt, he’s very likely to use so move specifically to destroy it.
I’ll prioritize our lives over a single piece of Equipnt.
This Equipnt is very important to you.
I’m just being honest—are you still willing to lend it to ?
"
After a brief hesitation, Pingru still shoved the purple-gold robe into Yang Yu’s arms:
"If it really gets damaged because of so force majeure, then it can’t be helped.
Did you try to talk out of jumping in on a whim because you’ve considered the enemy’s unknown thods?
When facing an unknown enemy, coordination really can turn danger into safety...
I can more or less understand so of your concerns.
But I still think you’re underestimating . Even if I went alone...."
Pingru didn’t finish her sentence before Yang Yu cut her off with a low voice,
"Excessive confidence turns into arrogance, and that brings unforeseeable consequences.
I’ll accept this piece of Equipnt.
If it gets damaged, I’ll compensate you with two pieces of Equipnt of equal value.
Thanks for making the special trip.
Now that we’ve got what we ca for, it’s ti to move.
On your way back, rember not to be too conspicuous, so our movents don’t get exposed."
Many people, once they obtained great Strength, started to scorn rules and act like they alone were above heaven and earth, causing no small amount of trouble for the country’s governance.
Although Yang Yu also possessed considerable Strength, in Pingru’s eyes, they didn’t have that kind of arrogant, overbearing attitude; on the contrary, they could even think from the other side’s position.
Perhaps that was why they could get along so smoothly with everyone?
Hand on her heart, Pingru asked herself: if she traded places with Yang Yu, she definitely couldn’t have said those things; she would only seriously apologize after the Equipnt was actually damaged.
"Don’t be in such a rush to kick out.
I haven’t taught you how to use this long robe yet.
First, let introduce this piece of Equipnt. It’s called the [Fire-Repelling Robe], and its effects are..."
Pingru kept talking on and on as she introduced the Equipnt in Yang Yu’s hands, while Yang Yu had already quietly opened his System panel and appraised the robe, taking in all of its attributes at a glance.
[[Fire-Repelling Robe]
Quality: Legendary
attribute: Max HP 5%, Defense 20%, Special Defense 20%, Special Defense 400
Passive Skill——[Fire Resistance]: User’s Fire Attribute Resistance becos 80%, and they gain 100% immunity to burn. If the one equipped with this Equipnt is extrely proficient in Fla Magic, their Fire Attribute Resistance becos 100%.
Active Skill——[Fla Storage]: When taking fla damage or using fla Attacks, energy is accumulated; the next ti a Fla Skill is used, this energy can be spent instead of Magic Power.

Yang Yu pinched his chin. How exactly did it determine whether soone was "proficient in Fla Magic"?
As the Deputy Leader of an S-Class adventure group and a specialist in Fla Magic, Pingru basically had 100% Fla Resistance.
Bai Jin understood the Basic Magic Technique units that made up magic and could weave all kinds of spells as needed.
For now at least, Bai Jin could construct whatever Magic was required based on the situation, Fla Magic naturally included.
How much Fla Resistance Bai Jin could actually gain from this Equipnt would only be clear after she put it on.
Still, as expected...
Pingru explained all sorts of ways to use the [Fire-Repelling Robe], matching exactly what Yang Yu saw in the description, only adding so more detailed notes.
Once she confird there were no omissions, and in order not to delay Yang Yu’s execution of the Task, Pingru exchanged a few parting words and then left the way she had co.
Waving goodbye to the distant Pingru, Yang Yu was just about to put the long robe on himself when Bai Jin suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, an unprecedented resolve on her face.
"I listened carefully to everything she just said.
You need soone proficient in Fla Magic to fully trigger the power of this Magic Robe.
The Equipnt has no restriction on who can wear it—you can wear Magician’s Equipnt, and you can also wear heavy Armor—but in sothing this loose, your movents will be hampered, right?
We don’t know if I can fully trigger the robe’s effects, but that key Task—leave it to !
You just stay not too far away and step in at the right mont.
I believe you have that level of Strength.
With that Skill, you can co to my side at any ti, but we can’t appear at your side whenever we want.
Please also believe in the Strength I have."
