◎First Release◎

On the way to the trade fair, Yan Yu did not even miss the time to rest or move. He kept pouring his mental power into the bracelet space and forging equipment anytime and anywhere.

Finally, before she saw the valley described by She Lu, she forged all the A-grade materials into new equipment.

A total of 500 A-level equipment, 150 S-level equipment and 10 SS-level equipment were produced.

Including the previous ones, she currently has a total of 1 SSS-level Puppet Finger Gloves, 29 SS-level equipment (SS-level Xutian Robe*3, SS-level Vulcan Spirit Sword*2, SS-level Vulcan Battle Armor*3, SS-level Baoling Necklace*3, SS-level Flame Double Blades*5, SS-level Guangyao Bracelet*4, SS-level Luyun Boots*4, SS-level Lihua Ling*5), 261 S-level equipment and 500 A-level equipment.

Now, except for the remaining 4,000 B-level materials, all other materials have been refined into equipment, and there is finally some space available.

Although he had forged a lot of high-level equipment, Yan Yu still had the 6S and 4A level equipment combination he had when he first entered the dungeon, and was not in a hurry to replace it with a better equipment combination.

When the team of thousands of people was about to enter the valley, there was suddenly a long cry in the sky, and then two black spots in the distance approached rapidly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, two guards with winged backs and spears raised blocked their way. "Who are you? Tell me your name."

At Yan Yu's prompt, Wilfred explained, "We are cat-kind beastmen who have come to participate in the trade fair."

Seeing the cat ears on Yan Yu and his group's heads and the tails behind them, the two guards basically confirmed the identities of the visitors. Wilfred's words further confirmed their guess, and disdain flashed in their eyes.

Guard A: "This is a restricted area of ​​the trade fair. No outsiders are allowed to enter."

Wilfred frowned. "We're not just random people. We're here to attend the trade fair."

"Tsk, you cats have always been weak and poor. Even if we let you go, you probably won't be able to buy anything. You might as well leave quickly to save yourself the embarrassment." Guard A showed no disdain in his expression, and his words were even more blunt.

"you!"

Yan Yu stepped forward to stop the enraged Wilfred, then asked the two guards, "How do you know we can't afford the things at the trade fair? What if we have a lot of gold coins?"

The two people opposite are official staff of the trade fair. It is not advisable to offend them easily before they leave the trade fair.

After all, she still wanted to go in and buy some more high-level materials. She couldn't afford to lose the big picture for the sake of a small one.

Guard B chuckled and said, "You don't think a few dozen or a few hundred gold coins is a lot, do you? The trade fair isn't something you poor cats can dream of."

"That's right. Even if you add up your entire clan, you probably can't even come up with 2,000 gold coins. And yet you still want to enter a trade fair organized by powerful races like us? Tsk, tsk, you're really brave." Guard A echoed and waved at them, "Go away, stop making trouble here."

Both the expressions and actions of the two men were full of the words "poor people, stay away from them", which made Wilfred and the others so angry that their fists were stiff. They wanted to rush up and pluck out all the feathers on the two men's wings to see if they dared to be arrogant again.

Yan Yu remained calm and repeated what he had said before: "What if we have a lot of gold coins?"

"Ha!" Realizing that Yan Yu was not easy to get rid of, Guard B said impatiently, "If the number of gold coins in your hand exceeds 50,000, I will let all of you into the trade fair and will not charge you any entrance fee."

Normally, every orc who wants to enter the trade fair must pay an entrance fee of 10 silver coins, and all this money will eventually go into the hands of the organizer.

Since the valley borders the territories of the Eagle and Red Fox tribes, the trade fair is also hosted by these two tribes.

The trade fair will be held for a total of 10 days. During these 10 days, both parties will send a patrol and monitoring team of 100 people every day to be responsible for the order and security of the venue.

The two Eagle guards happened to be part of the patrol, relatives of the Eagle leader, and had always looked down on others. Speaking to a weaker race like the Cat Tribe seemed like a form of charity.

And they obviously didn't think that Yan Yu and the others would have so many gold coins. After they finished stating the conditions, they couldn't help but burst into laughter, almost laughing to tears.

Yan Yu: "Do your words count?"

"Yes, of course not, hahaha, the prerequisite is that you can come up with 50,000 gold coins."

The poverty of the cat tribe was evident throughout the Beast God Forest. Forget 50,000 gold coins; each of them probably couldn't even afford a single one. Yet, they brazenly claimed they were going to enter the trade fair.

If the female orcs in front of them could really come up with 50,000 gold coins, they would not only waive their entrance fee, but would also chop off their wings on the spot!

Just as the two guards were about to send Yan Yu and his group away again, Yan Yu suddenly took out a full 100,000 gold coins from the space and rained them down on the two of them.

“Ouch! It hurts so much!”

The two stopped laughing sarcastically and quickly hid around in embarrassment with their heads in their hands.

Yan Yu crossed her arms and raised the corner of her lips: "This is 100,000 gold coins. If you don't believe me, you can count them yourself."

"Stop, stop, stop! We believe it, we believe it, stop smashing it out! It's almost crushing us to death!"

"Ahhh, stop it!"

After appreciating the two people's embarrassed postures for a long time, Yan Yu pretended to be innocent, as if the prank just now was not intentional on her part: "Hey, are you guys okay? If you hadn't always wanted to chase us away, I wouldn't have released all the gold coins in a hurry."

The gold coins piled up into a small mountain. Guard A and Guard B crawled out with bruised faces and shocked expressions. However, they had already said what they had said, so they could only consider themselves unlucky and let Yan Yu and his group pass.

"1, 2, 3, 4... 1000, 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005!" Guard B's face was pale, as if he had been utterly devastated. "The entrance fee is 10 silver coins per person, so 1005 people is 100 gold coins and 50 silver coins. Damn, I'm such a jerk!"

Guard B wanted to slap himself a few times, because he was the one who took the initiative to bring up the idea that Yan Yu and the others would be exempted from the entrance fee as long as they had 50,000 gold coins.

He and Guard A had to pay the entrance fees out of their own pockets, an average of more than 50 gold coins per person. They couldn't earn that much money in two or three months!

The two of them had sad faces and could only reap what they sowed.

However, these people from the cat tribe remembered it completely.

Yan Yu took back the gold coins. No matter how angry the two Eagle guards were, they happily entered the valley.

The trade fair covers an area of ​​more than ten kilometers in radius. It is very large and extremely lively inside. Orcs of almost all races can be seen. The stalls are also very formal, with each stall about three meters apart and with unified signs and shelves.

There are stalls selling various fruits, some selling ordinary drinks and added food, some selling various animal skins... Of course, there are also stalls and shops that specialize in selling materials, equipment, and medicines.

Since Yan Yu and her friends arrived late, they could only set up camp in a large open space outside the trade fair.

Yan Yu: "Everyone should still be divided into the original teams. There must always be a team on duty at the tent, and the shifts will be rotated every six hours. You will draw lots to decide the order of duty. Team members who are not on duty can move freely."

After arranging everything, Yan Yu went into the trade fair with Cadoline, Beulah and the other three to stroll around.

"Date cakes, delicious date cakes, with a variety of flavors to choose from, only 10 copper coins each!"

"Mango sago, matcha sago, and red fruit sago are super delicious and add temporary attribute points. If you miss out, you'll have to wait another year!"

"Everyone, come and take a look! This equipment was forged by an A-level blacksmith. B-level equipment only costs 20 gold coins. Quantities are limited, so first come, first served!"

"Small Red Potion—each bottle adds 30 health points, only 300 copper coins. Large Red Potion—each bottle adds 1000 health points, 1 gold coin and 20 silver coins. Discounts available for larger quantities!"

The trade fair was packed with people, the sounds of hawking were endless, and it was full of the atmosphere of life.

Yan Yu seemed to have returned to Blue Star and to the bustling temple fair during the New Year. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little homesick.

If calculated according to the time of Blue Star, it should be almost the New Year now. The trees on both sides of the street are hung with various lanterns, which flash colorful lights every night. Beautiful and dazzling fireworks bloom sporadically in the sky. Children hold fairy wands, and the smiles on their faces are brighter than the fireworks.

I used to think it was just an ordinary scene, but now when I think about it, I feel an indescribable sense of nostalgia and regret.

They don’t know when this survival game will end, how can they go back?

Yan Yu lowered her eyelashes, suppressed all emotions, and focused on the various stalls in front of her.

Date cake with nuts and raisins, buy!

Drinks of various flavors, buy!

Stuffed candied haws, egg tarts, skewers, spices, it’s time to buy!

In a short while, Yan Yu had a pile of food in her hands, which was almost too much to hold. She took a bite on the left and a bite on the right, eating happily, which was very different from her usual aloof appearance.

Looking at Cadoline and Beulah, they also bought a lot of things in big and small bags. Except for Wilfred who was more restrained, the other three also ate with their mouths full and didn't even have time to talk.

Hill tugged at Wilfred's sleeve and said, "Come, try this red oil skewers too. They're really delicious, spicy, fresh, and fragrant."

"You eat it yourself, I won't, ugh!"

It turned out that Hill found it too difficult to hold the skewers, so he took advantage of Wilfred's opening speech and stuffed the skewers into his mouth with lightning speed.

Wilfred's face turned red from the spiciness. He couldn't chew or spit out the food, and his mouth remained stuffed, which looked quite interesting.

Hill immediately laughed out loud: "Hahaha, your expression is really funny. Go ahead and try it. Once you get used to the initial spiciness, it will be fine. I guarantee you'll want to eat it again in the future."

Wilfred stared at Hill suspiciously for a few seconds, then finally gave in and started chewing with a reluctant look on his face.

However, his expression soon changed to one of disbelief and amazement. Even though his tongue hurt from the spiciness, he still tried to grab the few remaining skewers of red oil from Hill's hand.

Today is a rare day of relaxation. Yan Yu and Cadoline looked at each other and smiled comfortably at the same time, with snacks and drinks in their mouths.

"Try this coconut ball, it tastes good."

"Yeah, it's pretty good. You can try the pineapple cake and milk squares I bought. They're also delicious. I've never had them before."

Their mermaid planet is basically covered by sea water, and their food mainly consists of fish, shrimp and crabs. The land area is scarce, so let alone these foods, even cooked food was rare in the past.

Yan Yuze's family was very well-off, and he always stayed in star-rated hotels, so he rarely had the opportunity to eat food sold by small vendors.

After they entered the trade fair, they were like fish swimming into the sea. They didn't leave the food area for two or three hours.

"Hey, what kind of junk are you selling? Pay me back now!"

"What's wrong with the organizers? Why did they let such a weak race in? This is really getting outrageous."

"That's right. Those weak races have no money and no resources. Even if they entered the trade fair, they wouldn't be able to buy anything. Are they here specifically to cheat or steal things?!"
