Chapter 337: A White Blacksmith’s Shop

Translator: 549690339

The Dwarf Commander was surrounded by a group of players in the center, unable to move forward or retreat. Seeing that the time limit for the summoning of the mechanical puppet was less than a minute away, he bit his lip in frustration, pulled out several green-quality weapons from the large bundle on his back, and carelessly tossed them aside as he said, “Take these as compensation for your losses. Can you let me go now?”

All these weapons were level ten green-quality weapons, worth over a thousand Doomsday Coins. Expressions of elation instantly appeared on several faces – they had done nothing and yet had obtained a weapon for free.

What a bargain!

However, clearly a few players were not satisfied. How could an item worth 1,000 Doomsday Coins compare to a task reward worth 20,000 Doomsday Coins? It was peanuts!

“No way, unless you award us the mission reward, we won’t let you go!” A tall player held the Dwarf Commander, shouting loudly.

“Damn, that’s quite a demand, brother. You’re like a mudslide in the world of extortion. You haven’t even completed the mission and you want the reward already? How thick-skinned are you!” Some players were shocked, all their eyes turned to him, wondering what this bold player looked like. If they met him in the wild in the future, they would need to avoid him at all costs.

“You, you what? The mission target is right there. You go and kill him! If you kill him, I’ll give you not only 20,000 Doomsday Coins, but even 200,000!” The Dwarf Commander’s beard was trembling with anger as he stomped his foot.

The tall player was taken aback and quickly said, “There’s no time limit for the mission. You can wait here, I will complete this mission sooner or later, you can’t run away!”

“If I die, the mission will fail, and you will get a failure penalty!” The Dwarf Commander cried out.

“Failure penalty? What’s a failure penalty?” Those who had accepted the bounty quest quickly opened their mission bars to check. They were all blinded by greed when they saw Song Jian show up. They took the bounty quest without thinking, not reading the mission description carefully.

“Your main attribute will be reduced by two points. Oh hell, this dwarf really played us, we can’t let him go!” A player cried out in anger.

Players don’t gain attribute points when they level up. To increase attribute points, they must find treasures in the game like Attribute Fruits, and if they are lucky, sometimes they can buy attribute-increasing treasures from NPCs. All in all, attribute points are crucial for everyone, and these treasures are not easily obtained.

Right now, two attribute points are particularly critical for the players.

“You’re not going anywhere. You dare to trick us? How is it possible for us to kill that guy? You’re scamming us!” A player said angrily.

“Right, scam! We, we will report you!”

“Bastard, explain to us why two attribute points are deducted!

For a moment, all the players who had accepted the quest became furious. After witnessing Song Jian’s strength, they wisely chose to give up.

“Ten seconds left…” The Dwarf Commander turned pale. Finally, he reluctantly said, “Fine, fine, I will establish a contract with you guys. Just pretend this quest was never issued.”

“No way, you have to give us the quest reward. You have to count as if we completed the quest, otherwise we won’t let you go!” The tall player still would not let up.

“Brother, let it be. Time’s almost up. If that guy turns around and really kills this dwarf, we won’t get anything. Instead, we’d lose two attribute points. It’s not worth it!” Some players couldn’t bear it anymore and tried to persuade the tall player.

“No way, we can’t just let this dude have it easy. When he issued the mission, he didn’t mention that the player’s strength was so formidable. This is deception! He tricked us into offering our lives!” The tall player said indignantly.

“This…”

Just then, a low roar rang out from a distance. A silver light flashed across the sky, and the figure of the mechanical puppet slowly floated down from the sky into a portal that looked similar to a black hole.

The Dwarf Commander’s face turned pale. He hurriedly said, “Let me go now,

or we will all die here.”

With that, the Dwarf Commander pulled out a bomb from his package, casting a fierce glance at the surrounding players.

The sight of the bomb in the Dwarf Commander’s hand sent a chill down the players’ spines. They quickly backed away, some begrudgingly doing so, not daring to actually gamble with their lives.

The Dwarf Commander snorted coldly, holding his staff in one hand and the bomb in the other. With a large bundle on his back, he quickly moved down the street. Soon, he disappeared into a narrow alleyway.

Not long after, Song Jian, wielding the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword, appeared on the street. Despite the frantic chase just now, he didn’t look the least bit hurt. Once the summoning time limit of the mechanical puppet was over, he immediately made his way back to the blacksmiths’ shop, intending to finish off the Dwarf Commander.

“Huh, where did he go?” Song Jian stood in front of the blacksmiths’ shop, looking around.

“Master, the dwarf has already run away!” A player shouted loudly.

“Yes, I saw him running down that alley.”

“Master, go chase him! He surely hasn’t gone far.

The spectating players were all shouting. While the Dwarf Commander had run away, he couldn’t escape from the blacksmiths’ shop. Although the Dwarf Commander had probably taken all the valuables, there would be plenty of items left behind.

Several players had already set their sights on the blacksmiths’ shop. But as long as Song Jian hadn’t left, they dared not approach and seize it. After all, the present owner of this blacksmiths’ shop, had been chased away by none other than Song Jian. In other words, the current owner of this blacksmiths’ shop was now Song Jian.

Instead of chasing after the Dwarf Commander, Song Jian walked towards the blacksmiths’ shop.

The moment he stepped into the blacksmiths’ shop, he received a system notification.

System: You have chased away the owner of the junior blacksmiths’ shop and successfully taken over.

System: You now own this blacksmiths’ shop. You can use it at will, hire a Forging Master to make equipment for sale, and so on.

System: You need to pay a management fee of 100 Doomsday Coms every month. Otherwise, the system will automatically take back this junior blacksmiths’ shop.

“This blacksmiths’ shop is mine now?” Song Jian was taken aback, thinking to himself.

Suddenly, a golden light enveloped the entire blacksmiths’ shop and Song Jian. After a short while, the blacksmiths’ shop automatically changed its name to “Song Jian’s Blacksmiths’ Shop”, and Song Jian received an interface for constructing the blacksmiths’ shop, where he could hire a Forging Master and sell equipment and weapons.

“Well, it seems I’ve managed to get a blacksmiths’ shop for free!” Song Jian gave a slight smile.

At this moment, the forge of the blacksmiths’ shop suddenly burst into flames. Simultaneously, the Bone Box in his inventory began to shake violently, and a shrill roar came from inside the Bone Box.
