"I'll have a mug of ale!"
Dorothy sat in front of the Hearthstone magic-guided machine and shouted at the tavern's attendant.
The attendant squeezed through the crowd with a mug of ale and placed it next to Dorothy.
Dorothy displayed her amazing alcohol tolerance. She finished the mug of ale in an instant and placed the wooden mug on the table.
A large group of Dwarves and Spellcasters stood around Dorothy's Hearthstone Arcade Machine. Their eyes were glued to Dorothy's every move.
"Phew …"
Dorothy used the alcohol to wake herself up from her drowsiness.
It was midnight, exactly two hours after Dorothy had first arrived at the Hearthstone Tavern.
The entire tavern was in a state of ecstasy ever since she opened the Golden Legendary Balrog King.
Dorothy did not know why the Dwarves were so excited, but she managed to sell the Golden Legendary Card to another Dwarf.
This allowed Dorothy to earn her first pot of gold in Noland. It was slightly different from the "earning method" she had envisioned, but it did not matter. Dorothy used this money to open more than 1,700 packs of cards and the right to use Adventure Mode.
Although Dorothy did not open another card as valuable as the Balrog King, she had already gathered a few card decks from the beta version.
All she had to do now was to fight her way into the top 2000 of the tavern.
Therefore, Dorothy did not hesitate for long. After editing the deck, she immediately started the battle.
She had won 12 matches in a row!
This unfamiliar newcomer had just started playing the game. Not only did he get a golden legendary card, but he also achieved a terrifying result of 12 consecutive wins.
This made Dorothy the center of attention in the Hearthstone Tavern. The Dwarves and Spellcasters around her were all talking about this girl from the Iron Nation.
"If she can win three more matches in a row, she'll break Great Elder Frost Axe's record."
"Is this human girl really a newcomer?"
Dorothy quietly listened to the discussions of the Dwarves and Spellcasters around her. She had to admit that she enjoyed this feeling.
The feeling of being praised and amazed by her own wonderful moments in the game gave Dorothy a special sense of achievement.
It worked!
Dorothy glanced at her hand and then at her entourage on the battlefield.
At first, when Dorothy arrived at Noland, she was filled with confusion and unease. She did not know if it was worth it to run away from her marriage and bet her life on a game.
Moreover, it was still unknown whether they could win the championship.
Dorothy thought it was ridiculous.
But now, this confusion and uneasiness were filled with bursting confidence!
"Sorry … I won."
After Dorothy released all the spells in her hand, the opponent's HP instantly fell to zero along with the attacks of her minions.
The opponent she defeated was said to be one of the top 1000 contestants in the tavern!
Her thirteen consecutive wins also allowed her to successfully register for the competition.
The dwarves around her applauded and cheered for the little girl. Dorothy felt like she was a hero in the limelight.
But Dorothy's confidence did not last long. She saw someone in the tavern who should not be there.
That was one of the attendants of their trading company.
He had just entered the tavern when Dorothy saw him.
"Let's call it a day."
Dorothy immediately put on her hat to cover her eye-catching long red hair and walked out of the crowd.
Dorothy was glad that some of the customers in the tavern were spellcasters. Otherwise, her outfit would be too conspicuous among the dwarves.
While Dorothy was hiding, she was also sneaking glances at the servant.
The attendant frowned after entering the tavern. He glanced around and left immediately.
His reaction was exactly the same as when Dorothy first arrived at the tavern.
To outsiders, the Hearthstone Tavern might be a dirty place where a group of rude dwarves gathered to drink and fight. It was a place that was not popular at all.
Perhaps to the attendants, their young lady would not come to such a place that was full of trash.
"You look flustered."
Josiah sat beside Dorothy and glanced at the attendant who pushed open the door and left.
"No, I'm just a little drunk." Dorothy shook her head and denied Josiah's question. She then picked up her suitcase and said, "I'll be back tomorrow."
Josiah waved goodbye and watched as Dorothy pushed open the tavern's door and left.
Not long after Dorothy left, a crow flew to the table beside Josiah's hand. A dark gray mist seeped out of the crow's body and gradually returned to its original form.
"Looks like you failed to hit on her."
The Dark Elf sat beside Josiah and asked the attendant for a glass of wine.
"Hit on her … Uh … That's not really hit on her. It's more like a test." Josiah said.
"Whether it's hitting on or testing, your standard is very low. No matter which human girl it is, they will all be wary of you."
The Dark Elf gave an evaluation of Josiah's standard in this area. As a professional intelligence gathering expert, the Dark Elf thought that Josiah's hitting on someone was very clumsy.
"Then I can only trouble Qianmian to help me gather information on that girl."
This was also the reason why Josiah had the Dark Elf come to the tavern.
"That girl is from a merchant guild in the Iron Nation called Silverflower. Half a year ago, the owner of the merchant guild bought a large amount of Mana Net Crystals from the White Thorn Flower Theater and brought them back to the Iron Nation. That girl is the owner's daughter …" The Dark Elf revealed a series of information that left Josiah stunned.
"Can I call you Qianmian A-Dream?"
"What kind of strange code name is that?" The Dark Elf seemed to be unable to understand Josiah's ridicule.
After all, Josiah had never developed a comic in this world.
This Dark Elf's intelligence gathering ability could really be called the Blue Fatty of intelligence. No matter what Josiah asked, she would be able to answer most of the time.
"Buying Mana Net Crystals and bringing them back to the Iron Nation to resell. This is indeed a good business."
Josiah could understand the merchant's thoughts. In the world where the Mana Net had just come out, anyone who came into contact with it would think that it was the work of the gods.
In the eyes of the big merchants, the crystals that carried the Mana Net were terrifyingly cheap. They could buy a large pile and sell it in their own country. With the value of the Mana Net, it would not be a problem to increase the price by two or three hundred times.
"It's a pity that the Mana Net doesn't have a 'network'. At most, it's just an eyesore," Josiah said softly.
