Crook Plains. This was the playground of Level 6 Grassland Lion Cubs. At this stage, very few players would come here to level up and kill monsters.
This was because the level of this place was relatively high, and there were a lot of monsters. They were too concentrated, making it difficult to kill.
These Grassland Lion Cubs hunted in groups of three to five. Sometimes, they would be followed by an adult Elite Grassland Lion. They were not easy to deal with.
However, on this grassland, a six-man party was currently slaughtering a pride of lions. A woman wearing aqua blue armor was brandishing her greatsword, fighting head-on against an Elite ranked Grassland Lion. Not only could she easily dodge the Grassland Lion's sharp claws, but she could also take advantage of the opportunity to attack its vital points. Her valiant and heroic demeanor was enough to mesmerize even women.
This woman was none other than the Snow Goddess, Gentle Snow. She had already reached Level 5, and she wore the Level 4 Bronze Set Equipment, Azure Scar. She also wielded the Mysterious-Iron ranked Conqueror's Sword. Compared to before, her strength had increased by leaps and bounds.
There was also a Shield Warrior tanking the four Lion Cubs without falling into a disadvantageous position. The healer, Xiao Yue'er, chanted a prayer, her small hands writing divine runes in the air. While taking care of the Shield Warrior, she also healed Gentle Snow, keeping both of their HPs above a safe threshold.
The Flame Witch, Zhao Yueru, was also equipped with the Level 4 Mystic Fire Set Equipment. The large fireballs in her hands continuously shot out, causing frightening damages to appear above the Prairie Lion's head, one after another.
In a short while, a pride led by an elite died.
She then looked towards Xiao Yue 'er and said, "Xiao Yue' er, this is your Holy Shield. Hurry up and learn it. After resting for a while, we'll go find the next Grassland Lion. We must make sure that it drops a Resurrection Skill."
"That's great! With this skill, the healers won't have to be so nervous anymore," Xiao Yue 'er happily said as she received the skill book.
Zhao Yueru, who sat down to eat, suddenly asked curiously, "Snow, now that Hammer Trading has already earned a lot of fame, shouldn't we at least send someone to recruit him? Recruiting him will increase the Guild's fame. Moreover, his forging techniques are quite good. It wouldn't be good if other Guilds snatched him away."
"There's no need. It won't be long before Level 3 Bronze Equipment becomes worthless. He only knows how to forge Level 3 Bronze Equipment. He doesn't even have the Forging Designs for equipment of a higher level. What's the point of us spending a large sum of money to snatch it now? It's nothing more than a small profit. Moreover, who knows how long it'll take for our Guild to obtain a high level Bronze Equipment Forging Design? What's the use of him? " Gentle Snow shook her head. She was not very interested in Hammer Trading. Instead, she said, "However, that Hei Yan Forger has piqued my interest, especially that Hei Yan Forger's actions. I can't see through his intentions."
"If he wanted to attract the attention of first-rate Guilds and stand out among them, there would be no need for him to hide his name. There would definitely be many large Guilds contacting him. However, he chose to hide his name, preventing others from contacting him. This shows that he does not wish for others to know of his identity. However, he continued to fight with Hammer Trading, lowering the price of his equipment, allowing him to become a household name once more, entering our eyes. However, just as his popularity reached its peak, he suddenly withdrew from the battle, fading out of our sight once more.
"To be able to take out three different pieces of Forging Equipment in a row and obtain so many Bronze Equipment Forging Designs, it shows that he's very capable. But why did he suddenly withdraw? What was the purpose of this Hei Yan blacksmith? Or has he already achieved his goal, so he's retreating? "
"Even now, I still don't know what that Hei Yan blacksmith is trying to do. Everything about him is shrouded in mystery. "
"Snow, why don't I have someone investigate this blacksmith? Hearing you say that, even I want to know what kind of person he is."
After hearing Gentle Snow's analysis, Zhao Yueru came to a realization. Suddenly, she became interested in this Hei Yan blacksmith. She also felt that this Hei Yan blacksmith was not a simple person. Her interest in the identity of this Hei Yan blacksmith was overflowing. Just the thought of being able to expose Hei Yan's identity made her slightly excited.
Elsewhere, inside the Intermediate Forging Room on the second floor of the Forging Association:
"Everyone, what do you all think?" Hammer Trading leisurely asked as he sat with his legs crossed, narrowing his eyes as he looked at the representatives of first-rate Guilds present.
However, Hammer Trading's conditions caused these first-rate Guilds to fall silent.
Hammer Trading's conditions were too harsh. Not to mention the priority of all resources, just a villa in the city he was in, as well as a temporary annual salary of five million Credits, was already too much to bear. Most likely, only the Guild Leader and the Vice Guild Leader could enjoy such treatment. Meanwhile, this Hammer Trading wanted the same treatment. Wouldn't that mean that he wanted to be on equal footing with the Guild Leader and the Vice Guild Leader?
"You all need to think clearly. It wasn't easy for me to earn such a big reputation. As long as I enter your Guild, your popularity will immediately soar, surpassing the other Guilds. In addition to my forging techniques, you won't lack Bronze Equipment. In addition, I can also earn a huge sum for the Guild. The price I'm asking for is nothing, right?" Hammer Trading said with a smile. His expression was saying, "If you all don't want me, there will be others who will. At that time, don't regret it."
At this moment, Hammer Trading already had these first-rate Guilds in his grasp. Right now, every first-rate Guild wanted to be one step ahead of the other Guilds, so that they could have a greater chance of obtaining a city. The wealth of controlling a virtual city was definitely not something that a mere five million Credits and a villa could compare to. His asking price was already considered low.
Looking at the hesitant expressions of the representatives of the first-rate Guilds, however, their eyes flashed with a firm conviction to recruit him. Hammer Trading suddenly felt that it was a wise decision to invest all his assets into this competition. If he had not ruthlessly borrowed some money from the loan sharks, he might not have been able to withstand the pressure from the Hei Yan Forger. Fortunately, the Hei Yan Forger had died first, allowing Hammer Trading to obtain the final fruits of victory.
Just as Hammer Trading was feeling pleased with himself, the expressions of the numerous representatives at the negotiating table changed. One by one, they revealed expressions of shock and ecstasy.
"Brother Hammer Trading, I'm truly sorry. Our Guild intends to withdraw from this competition and leave it to the other Guilds. Our Guild will not be participating. I still have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first," the representative of the Star River Federation suddenly said.
"This price is too high. Our Guild can only give up. We can only look forward to cooperating with you in the future."
… …
For a moment, all the Guild representatives left. Moreover, every one of them was very anxious. It was as if they could not wait to run somewhere, not wanting to waste any time.
"What's the meaning of this? You don't want to negotiate anymore? Don't regret it! I'm a forger who can forge Bronze Equipment! At that time, even if you beg me, I won't go. " Hammer Trading was dumbfounded at first. He did not understand what was going on with these people. It was as if they had all discussed this beforehand. Hammer Trading then slammed the table, furiously shouting.
"Is forging Bronze Equipment that amazing? Right now, the Auction House is selling Bronze Equipment Forging Designs. With the Forging Designs, we can nurture our own. We don't need five million Credits at all, "one of the representatives sneered as he glanced at Hammer Trading before leaving the forging room.
"What did you say? Speak clearly before you leave! "After Hammer Trading heard this, he abruptly stood up, thinking that he had misheard.
