Chapter Seven: A Blushing Face in Anger

  Zhang Yang stretched out his hand and touched it, and the spoils of war that the Black Panther King had dropped immediately entered his backpack.

  Leopard King Greaves (Black Iron Armor)

  Armor: +3

  Vitality: +7

  Strength: +2

  Agility: +1

  Required level: 10

  Leopard King's Cuirass (Black Iron Equipment, Armor)

  Armor: +3

  Vitality: +6

  Strength: +3

  Agility: +1

  Required level: 10

  Panther King's Gauntlets (Black Iron, Leather Armor)

  Armor: +2

  Vitality: +3

  Agility: +2

  Required level: 10

  Warriors and knights wear plate armor, hunters and thieves wear leather armor, mages and priests wear cloth armor. The three pieces of equipment opened by Zhang Yang can be used by himself, but unfortunately, they cannot be worn until level 10.

  In "Divine Intervention", the helmet, breastplate and greaves have the most added attributes. Gloves, boots, necklaces, cloaks and rings have fewer attribute points, but necklaces and rings generally have additional special effects.

  Weapons only increase physical or magical damage and do not add any attributes. Some high-quality weapons also have special effects.

  The next spoil of war was not equipment, but a bloody leopard head.

  Bloodstained Skull (Black Ironware, Special Item)

  "This is the skull of the Black Panther King! Take it back and give it to Village Elder Juan, he will surely commend your contribution!"

  Already bound.

  The bound items cannot be traded with other players, so this reward can only be received by Zhang Yang.

  All the spoils of war have been picked up, and the body of the Black Panther King also quickly disappeared. Zhang Yang took out a miner's pickaxe from his backpack and started digging into the Precious Iron Mine.

  "Ding! You used Mining on Iron Ore Vein and obtained 2 Iron Ores. Your Mining skill has increased by 2 points!"

  Zhang Yang gleefully picked up two pieces of fine iron that shone with a bright silver light. This fine iron was rare and had always been the hard currency in the game, its beautiful luster making it a joy to behold!

  He put away the pickaxe, turned around and left the valley, starting to search for iron ore mining all over the mountain. The refresh time of fine iron ore is one hour, he noted down the departure time and went back to dig when the time came.

  The refresh time of the Black Panther King is as long as one day, and Zhang Yang dug 10 pieces of fine iron without having a chance to wait for the refresh of this BOSS.

  Zhang Yang was looking forward to brushing up a few more times on the BOSS, first for equipment and secondly because one BOSS gave him over 80% of his experience, after two brushes he would be able to level up, how convenient!

  After wandering in the mountains for more than four hours, Zhang Yang had already mined five times of high-quality iron ore and obtained 11 pieces of high-quality iron. He was mining and killing monsters to level up at the same time, and his level had also been raised to 7th level, but he only had 126 pieces of iron ore, which was still some distance from 200.

  Zhang Yang cursed the game company's scam while continuing to search for iron ore. Looking at the mini-map, a small light spot flashed not far away, and he couldn't help but feel invigorated. He quickly picked up his pickaxe and rushed over - after learning mining skills, nearby mineral deposits would automatically be displayed on the mini-map.

  "Dong Dong Dong!"

  Zhang Yang swung his hoe and started digging into the iron ore.

  A piece of pale silver metal was also reflected in Zhang Yang's eyes as the hoe was lifted, "Huh, unexpectedly turned out to be lucky, finally dug up a bornite iron ore!" Zhang Yang felt emotional, he had mined 126 pieces of iron ore, but this was his first time digging up a symbiotic ore, which made him doubt his own luck.

  But at this moment, he would rather use precious refined iron to exchange for iron ore! The current level of competition is so fierce that we can't waste too much time on a single task! Refined iron, 10 pieces are enough!

  Picking up the refined iron and two pieces of iron ore that were dug out at the same time, Zhang Yang was about to leave when he heard a clear female voice behind him.

  "Hey, friend, wait up!"

  Zhang Yang was stunned and turned his head around, only to see two beautiful women walking out from behind a rock, both of whom were above the water level.

  The two women looked like they were barely out of their teens. The one on the left wore a dark red leather armor, and it was unclear whether the game's equipment designer had a queen complex or not. This leather armor was short and tight, with a deep V-shaped low-cut design that exposed at least half of her plump breasts as she moved, causing a nosebleed-inducing scene that could instantly kill any man with weak willpower! Her lower body wore a short leather skirt that tightly wrapped around her full and perky buttocks, and her two long white legs took steps that made her buttocks swing back and forth in a captivating manner.

  Another woman was wearing a pale white long skirt, the style of which was very loose and her figure could not be seen.

  Zhang Yang pointed to his own nose and said, "Me?"

  That fiery figure of a woman in leather armor raised an eyebrow and said, "Is there anyone else here besides you?" Her voice was as sweet as honey, enough to make one's heart melt!

  Although Zhang Yang looked like he was only twenty, having lived through two lifetimes and experienced life and death, he had long become unflappable and calm. With an appreciative gaze, he swept his eyes over the armored woman's body, then turned to look at the white-robed woman with a hint of indifference, saying, "Is there something?"

  Both women chose to hide their personal information like him, so Zhang Yang didn't know how to address them either.

  "My name is Bai Lan, a pastor of the Red Face!" The woman in white introduced herself, "Her name is Ci Xue Mei Gui, a thief of the Red Face!"

  Is this Hongyan? Zhang Yang had some impression of this guild, because this guild was the only one in "Shenji" that was completely composed of women! The leader Xue Qianxun was ranked fourth among the top ten law gods in China, and her subordinate team "Hongyan" was also a strong team in the S-level professional league!

  "Oh!" Zhang Yang casually responded with a word, saying "Nice meeting you all, goodbye!"

  "Hey, hey, hey!" Xue Xue Rose saw Zhang Yang was about to leave and suddenly looked a bit ugly. In her eyes, men were all thinking with their lower body, who wouldn't be like a cat in heat when they saw her! Not to mention taking the initiative to leave, even if she used a broom to chase them away, there would still be people who stubbornly refused to leave!

  It's the first time that Rose of Blood has met a man like Zhang Yang who doesn't take her seriously at all!

  She ran a few steps ahead and blocked Zhang Yang's way, saying: "We have something to look for you!"

  "What's wrong?" Zhang Yang felt that he and Angry Red Face didn't have much in common.

  "We'll pay you for it! We want to buy that high-quality iron ore you just dug up!" Stabbing Blood Rose said with a hum.

  These two are sharp-eyed! However, they also have a good business sense!

  In "Miracle", although there are countless players, the number of players engaged in gathering is limited after all. The output of herbs and minerals can't keep up with the demand of players! Before a large number of life players who specialize in gathering appear, the prices of all materials have been rising all the way! Especially rare materials, even in the late game, the price has always been firm and never dropped!

  Currently, all players are desperately leveling up and have not yet realized the value of these materials. In the future, fighting over a rare ore vein or herb will be an everyday occurrence! The Red Scarf Guild has already started collecting rare ores, this forward-thinking gaming mentality is quite impressive to Zhang Yang.

  "Not for sale!" Zhang Yang shook his head. At this time, selling refined iron could only get a few copper plates, which was far from reaching even one percent of its true value!

  Xue Rose was taken aback, she didn't expect her proposal to be rejected so cleanly and decisively by Zhang Yang! At first, she thought Zhang Yang was playing hard to get, intentionally ignoring her to attract her attention, but now she was sure that he really had no interest in her!

  "Sister, when did you become so unattractive?" The competitive spirit of Xue Xie's Rose was burning fiercely at this moment, and she said: "We can offer a high price, how about 10 silver coins?"

  Zhang Yang was about to refuse, but suddenly had a change of heart and said: "I won't sell, but if you can exchange it for iron ore with me, I can consider it!"

  Bailan took over the topic and said: "How many iron ores do you plan to exchange for a piece of fine iron?"

  Zhang Yang still lacked 72 pieces of iron ore and said, "Well, just 72 pieces then!"

  "72 pieces?" The two women looked at each other, both thrilled in their hearts. They all knew the probability of mining refined iron, and it took 200-300 iron ore to produce one refined iron. When they were unlucky, they couldn't even reach this probability! Exchanging 72 pieces of iron ore for 1 piece of refined iron was absolutely a good deal.

  "Not enough? I can add another piece!" Zhang Yang took out two pieces of refined iron from his backpack and revealed a pure and kind smile, "Two pieces of refined iron for 72 iron ores, how about it?"

  This man... is an idiot!

  Bailan and Xueying exchanged a glance, no longer hesitant. She quickly took out 72 pieces of iron ore from her backpack, opened the trading panel with Zhang Yang, and placed the 72 pieces of iron ore on it. Seeing that Zhang Yang had also placed 2 pieces of refined iron in the trading column, Bailan immediately confirmed the transaction.

  "Ding" went the sound, and the system prompted that the transaction between the two was successful. The three of them looked at each other, each with a smile on their face, thinking they had gotten the better end of the deal, and bid each other farewell before leaving.

  "Ge ge ge, I thought that stinky man was different, but it turns out he's just hiding it deeper. It even made me think my charm had disappeared!" After walking for a while, Xue Xie Rose patted her towering chest and said with a sigh of relief.

  Bai Lan, however, seemed lost in thought and said, "I always feel that the man should be... how to put it, more cunning!"

  "Hmph, those two pieces of refined iron aren't fake!" Xue Xie said disapprovingly. "The blueprint for the forged shield that Jingjing obtained requires five pieces of refined iron to produce a black iron quality shield. Our Red Face will definitely be the first to manufacture it and gain an advantage in the first clear of the instance!"

  Bailan thought for a moment and agreed that no matter how you looked at it, the value of the two pieces of refined iron was far greater than those iron ore!

  "Beep beep!" The game communicator rang out.

  Bai Lan immediately connected, and then heard a woman's voice say: "Sister Lan, Sister Mei, the village chief just said that you must bring the iron ore to the village hall immediately!"

  Xue Rose and Bai Lian stared at each other, both women simultaneously rising with a sense of foreboding in their hearts.

  "Xiao Qing, what does the president want with iron ore?" asked Bai Lan.

  The other party quickly replied: "The warrior's profession task requires 200 pieces of iron ore, and Mimi is waiting for you!"

  "Oh no!" Bai Lan and Xue Xie rose up in unison.

  "Ah, that despicable man, how dare he try to trick me! From now on, don't let me run into him again, I'll make him so infatuated that he's dizzy and then kick him flying, not letting him suffer for a few years. If I don't make him cry bitter tears, my surname isn't Jiang!" Xue Xiang said fiercely, hating Zhang Yang to the point of grinding her teeth, but in fact, she was more concerned about her usually unbeatable charm having met its match!

  She gritted her teeth for a moment and began to feel lucky that she wasn't the only one who had been deceived, saying: "Lan sister, I'm reckless, what's your reason?"

  Bai Lan: *silence*
