Chapter 222 Temporary Blacksmith
[February 3, Wasteland Calendar, Disaster Day, 14:00, Sunny]
Under the scorching sun, the questions raised by the human lord made the lion man stunned.
The lion man looked at himself. He was only wearing a linen shirt and his tool kit.
The human lord opposite had an indescribable noble air about him.
With such precious food, it can still maintain an elegant posture under such scorching sun.
The lion man suddenly felt what it meant to be ashamed of himself.
But thinking about his own people, who are still struggling under extreme conditions.
I can't just sit there and wait for death.
He plucked up his courage and took two steps forward.
From Wen Ning's perspective, he suddenly discovered that this lion man was actually a bit shy, and the ferocity he had shown in the fight with Hu Zi just now was completely gone.
There is a huge contrast between the before and after images.
"Human Lord, I think the hot season has just begun here, and I don't know how serious it will be..."
The lion man paused, but Wen Ning immediately thought of the mutant snake tribe that he had read in the history book that became extinct in the extreme heat.
Feeling Wen Ning's seriousness, the lion continued to speak slowly.
"I come from a planet that has been dry for hundreds of years. I have extensive experience in finding water sources and preventing soil erosion."
"I am also a blacksmith and can make hoes and other tools for digging dry land."
"Anyway, in extremely hot conditions, I am...very useful."
The lion man's eyes started to turn red as he spoke, and Wen Ning could tell that he definitely wouldn't brag about himself normally.
After praising himself for a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out a dry sentence saying that he was very useful.
Wen Ning thought carefully about what the lion man said.
Walk up and click on his merchant list.
There are all kinds of farm tools and implements inside.
It didn't mean much to her.
"These are just some of the goods I brought out. I am very good at it."
Seeing that Wen Ning was indifferent to his product, the lion man immediately explained.
"Okay, I understand."
Wen Ning interrupted the lion man, his voice slow but steady.
"First, the extreme heat here doesn't last forever, so your skills won't be that useful to me."
"Secondly, I only stockpiled enough food to get me through this period of time, so I'm sorry, I really can't give you any more. Moreover, even if I could give you all the food I have, it would only be a drop in the bucket."
"Third, I know what you want to ask. This food also comes from the Orc Continent, but I don't know if it's the same one as yours. It was the first merchant in my territory, and she went home after our transaction was completed."
"So I don't know when it will come back, or if it will come back at all."
The lion man's eyes widened, disappointment evident in them, but Wen Ning had not finished speaking.
"I have other cooling foods here. I can make as many as you want, but you may not be able to afford them."
"I can work for you to pay off my debt! I really need cooling food so that we lions can stay calm and not get hurt or killed by anger and aggression."
The lion people were a little agitated. There were less than a hundred of their tribesmen left, and the heat had a strong impact on their mood. Now it had reached the point where they would fight with their own people over the slightest disagreement.
Wen Ning was silent. From what he heard, it seemed that as long as they could keep their fellow tribesmen calm, they would be able to treat other invading races calmly?
Wen Ning could only say that this idea was too naive.
The map is getting smaller, but the struggle won't stop.
"I don't need your craftsmanship, what else do you have that's valuable?"
Wen Ning made a final suggestion.
The lion man looked through his backpack, and Wen Ning evaluated all the items, finding that they were worthless.
The more the lion man thought, the more confused he became. His head became dizzy and about to explode.
The annoyance in his heart was getting heavier. He came out this time just to find a way out. He finally found some food that could cool him down, but in the end he couldn't afford it at all.
The lion man felt that he had failed to live up to the expectations of his tribe members. The tools he had were made with the tribe members' last resources. If he took them away, the tribe members would not be able to farm the land and would only be able to wait for death.
【warn! The territory merchants are suspected of collapse. If the territory merchants are harmed in the territory, the territory will be punished! 】 ? ? ? ? ?
Wen Ning's heart skipped a beat. What? What does its stubbornness have to do with me?
I gave you the wrong ice cream, didn’t I?
The condition of the lion man in front of him was indeed not very good, so Wen Ning hurried forward to prevent it from getting itself into a dead end due to being too stubborn.
"Lion...Lion man, calm down! There is still a way to solve the problem!"
The lion man's pupils lit up instantly. He raised his head and stared at Wen Ning, his lion ears standing up, as if he placed his last hope on Wen Ning.
“Ahem…”
Wen Ning withdrew his hand and sighed inwardly.
"Think about it carefully. How did you get here? If you can come here, why can't your race come here?"
The lion man's eyes lit up for a moment, then he lowered his head in disappointment.
He sighed heavily and denied the possibility that Wen Ning said.
"Human Lord, you don't know that it costs a lot for each of us lions to come here. I don't have money..."
Money money money! It’s all about money!
"Besides, you are also..."
"Stop, stop! I told you the temperature here will return to normal in less than half a month."
Of course, there may be other disasters, so it’s not certain.
"As for your lack of money, there happens to be a blacksmith shop in my territory. You can live there and pay me rent, and then you can sell things there."
The lion man was stunned for a moment, looked around Wen Ning's deserted territory, and muttered with his head down.
"But there's no one here..."
Wen Ning burst out laughing: "There are more people here than you think, but they are not in my territory."
"Also, I can guarantee that the first batch of residents will move into the territory within three days."
"The new people have just arrived and have no tools...what do you think..."
The lion man's heart was gradually awakened. He turned around and looked at the vast territory. Although the human lord said that the extreme heat would end soon, he did not believe it.
But at least there is a large area of greenery here, unlike the Orc Continent...
The lion man thought this plan was feasible, and he looked at Wen Ning with trust in his eyes.
【bite! The favorability of territory merchants has increased by 40% and is currently 90%. 】
The lion-man straightened up, looking completely different from before.
Even Wen Ning couldn't help but sigh at the speed of his expression changing.
Changing faces is like turning pages of a book.
"Okay, I agree with your proposal, but I may have to pay the rent on credit first."
Wen Ning nodded nonchalantly and said, "I don't even care about that little rent you offer."
"Okay, you can get familiar with the blacksmith shop first. Mira will tell you the price of various ores. You need to smelt them yourself, or you can buy finished products and make them yourself."
"By the way, I still don't know what to call you?"
The lion man paused and turned around immediately: "I'm so sorry, my name is Shi Tie."
"............"
"As the name suggests, so the name suggests."
Easy to remember, the blacksmith of the lion tribe.
"By the way, since you are going to open a store in my territory, there are some things I need to discuss in advance. For example, you must not have any more conflicts with my subjects."
Grasping Lao Tie's weak spot, Wen Ning protected him and sought justice for Hu Zi.
Lao Tie looked a little embarrassed and nodded hurriedly.
He didn't mean to fight with the white tiger, but the heat made it impossible to suppress the warlike nature in his heart.
Coupled with the provocation from the white tiger, he lost his composure for a moment.
Only after Lao Tie promised that it would never happen again did Wen Ning let him go with satisfaction.
That's right, when a lion is under the eaves, he must learn to bow his head.
Now that there are people in the blacksmith shop, not only do I not have to pay them wages, I can also collect rent!
Wen Ning smiled happily as his plan succeeded.
"System, it's not that I don't pay him. You heard it, he volunteered."
System: What a voluntary choice.
