"Oh my god, enchanted gems! The boss actually has enchanted gems!" A passerby who knew the value of the goods stopped in front of Xia Yao's stall and exclaimed in amazement.
"I heard enchanting gems is difficult. You have to learn mining first, then forging. Only after you have a solid foundation in these two basics can you learn enchanting."
"Then why does she have a gem enchanted by an enchanter? Isn't she a poet?"
"Who knows? Maybe it was a gift from a friend, or maybe it was loot from a dungeon?"
"Look at the stats of this gem! +14 Strength! That's more than two bronze pieces of armor add!"
"Such a precious thing shouldn't be cheap, right?"
"Of course. Didn't you see the price? 400 gold."
"Huh? Only 400 gold. That's not expensive. It's much cheaper than those equipment in Area A that cost hundreds of gold."
"Oh, if only I had chosen Enchanting, otherwise I wouldn't be staring at it like this~"
"Come on, this job is time-consuming and exhausting. If you have that much time, you might as well kill a few more monsters to gain some experience."
The players were discussing with each other, completely unaware of the envious look on Xia Yao's face at the C036 stall next door.
Bugui Langren bit his lower lip hard, his eyes fixed on the equipment slot in front of Xia Yao.
He is a blacksmith, and his blacksmithing level has reached level 5. Since he is not interested in mages and summoners, he only likes to study life-related professions, so he has devoted himself to this since he entered the game.
Even though his forging level is not high, he has a very accurate eye for things.
Just ten minutes ago, the stall owner of C037 sat down next to him. At first, he didn't take her seriously because the equipment she displayed were just bronze items, which could be seen from dungeons and monster hunting. In a place like the Southern Market where there is no shortage of rare goods, bronze items are not considered high-end.
So he continued to sit leisurely on the small wooden stool as usual, waiting for the last batch of items on the stall to be sold before he closed it.
Until just now, when he saw with his own eyes the C037 stall owner slowly taking out the enchantment gems and equipment slots, his eyes suddenly lit up!
Iron equipment slot!
So she is also a blacksmith?
Bugui Langren was very surprised. He opened his eyes wide and looked back and forth at the equipment slot.
It’s iron, for sure! Iron ore has a natural glaze, and the objects created from it naturally have this unique color.
Now, only Hughes Highlands in the entire continent produces iron ore, and there are wild monsters in Hughes Highlands. The few miners he knows are all weaklings. They basically risk their lives every time to mine, and the total amount they dig is not much. Therefore, those people only allow the werewolf who does not return to buy half, and the rest must be left to other customers.
It can be seen that iron ore is in great demand in the current market, and items forged from iron ore are even more popular!
Since there is a certain failure rate in forging, low-level blacksmiths usually only dare to use copper ore. At least they won’t feel so sad if they fail. Only when their forging level is higher and their feel is more stable, they dare to go further and forge with iron ore as the raw material.
However, even so, it is still difficult for blacksmiths at this stage to produce flawless iron products. Even the level 5 Ronin of No Return has only successfully made one flawless item.
When he thought of this, Bugui Langren became even more confused.
He doesn't remember there being someone like her in the blacksmith circle?
Bugui Langren couldn't understand what was going on and could only watch helplessly as the players who had originally stopped in front of his stall were attracted away by her.
The prices of her equipment slots and enchantment gems were not high. Rich players or managers from large guilds could definitely afford them. After a while, Bugui Langren saw a female mage rushing in with a few followers.
However, they were not there to buy anything.
"Yinyao, you shameless thief!"
"You stole the guild's items without permission, forged them privately, and then turned around and quit the guild to set up a stall here to sell things. Well, you're so good! Our vice president has tolerated you time and time again and let you go, and now you treat our Beiming Capital like this?"
"The vice-president invited you to join the dungeon, and told everyone to team up. Not only did you ignore the guild, but you teamed up with some random people outside. Do you know how long we waited for you at the dungeon entrance? Everyone else went in, and our vice-president was the only one waiting for you. I felt so bad for her watching. You ungrateful bastard! Even if you didn't want to team up with us, you should at least tell us!"
A few little followers roared, and countless eyes looked towards Xia Yao.
Bugui Langren's heart trembled. Oh my god, he thought he had met a forging master, but he turned out to be a thief who stole the guild's ore. No wonder he had never seen his miner friend mention this ID. It turned out that he had never purchased it through formal channels at all.
At the same time, World Channel.
[Breaking news! The top tycoon on the list turns out to be a thief! (Pupil earthquake.jpg)]
[What? Is this the number one we know?!]
[Real name answer: Yes! I was there, and the atmosphere was tense!]
[Shit, what the hell is going on? Can anyone please explain? (anxious.jpg)]
I was standing by and listened to everyone's accusations against her. She stole items from the guild to forge equipment slots, then quit the guild and sold the slots at the Southern Market for 400 gold.
[Wow, she's so bold! She made hundreds of gold without any effort. Awesome!]
[But this is too shameless, isn't it? Why does she take public things without permission? Disgusting.]
[That's not all. She turned down the vice-president's invitation and teamed up with someone else to do a dungeon. Unexpectedly, she was caught by the guild. Sure enough, the mentality of the top-ranked players is different. Anyway, I wouldn't do such a wicked thing (eating melon.jpg)]
…
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and things quickly fermented in the world. As soon as Zhang Bupa came online, he was dazzled by the dense conversations.
"Shu Lihua, look at the world!!!"
"Ah, what's wrong?" Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry were taking tasks in the city, and they almost lost their minds when she called out to them through the headset.
"Big sister, something happened to her!"
Southern Market.
"Okay, everyone, stop arguing."
The discussions and insults grew louder and louder. The leading female mage chuckled and waved her hand, signaling the people behind her not to talk too much.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
She raised her eyebrows, held her chin high, and slowly walked over to Xia Yao. "Yinyao, since you were once a member of Beiming City, I won't bother you about forming a wild team. However, I really can't turn a blind eye to your stealing of guild items. Our guild is just starting out and still in the development stage, so resources are already tight. You said you took some insignificant items, which would be fine, but you chose to take iron ore. You know how important this is to us. Now that you've left the guild, I won't pursue it any further. How about this? Return the enchanted gem and equipment slot to us, and I'll consider you and Beiming City clear from now on."
Xia Yao was indeed surprised that Yuan Qinglan suddenly appeared at the market.
But what she didn't expect was that in order to get her enchantment gems and equipment slots for free, Yuan Qinglan even came up with such a trick as false accusation.
I don't know whether I should feel ridiculous about the poverty of Beiming City, or feel sad about the way she is tearing herself apart for such a petty profit.
Xia Yao curled her lips slightly, glanced at Yuan Qinglan nonchalantly, and uttered only two words: "Evidence."
The little henchman jumped out at the sound and said, "I'm the administrator of Beiming City, and I've always been in charge of the warehouse. Four days ago, we registered a batch of iron ore, a total of 250 pieces. Three days ago, you quit the association, and that night I took inventory of the warehouse and discovered that 250 pieces of iron ore were missing!"
"Also, if I'm not mistaken," Yuan Qinglan suddenly crossed his arms and looked down at Xia Yao with a sneer, "the four equipment slots you're wearing are also forged with these ores, right?"
After he finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.
"What! She actually kept 4 for herself?! Her conscience has been eaten by a dog!"
"I'm blind. I was really a fan of her for so long."
"The capital of Beiming is in such a pity. It has become a great injustice to have such a person."
"250 pills is not a small amount, everyone. This constitutes massive theft. I suggest reporting this to customer service!"
…
The players were shocked and indignant. They blocked Xia Yao's stall, pointing their fingers and spitting.
The Bugui Ronin next door had never seen such a big scene, and his heart was in his throat.
He looked at the owner of stall C037, who was being criticized but remained calm, then glanced around. He swallowed hard, and finally mustered up the courage to whisper, "Well, I heard that the inventory count in the warehouse can be changed at will."
He knew the vice president of Qingfengyu Pavilion of the Life Gang, and remembered that he once said that the warehouse list was just an electronic document, and the administrator with permission could modify it at any time.
The noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
He noticed that the poetess suddenly turned her head to look at him.
Yuan Qinglan then turned around and snorted coldly at him, "Then I'll tell you the truth. We bought these 250 pieces of iron ore from a miner four days ago. The transaction records are all there, proving that we in Beiming City didn't fabricate the amount of ore out of thin air. As for how to prove that these 250 pieces were stolen by you, it's very simple. When you first joined the guild, you didn't have any equipment slots, but after you quit, you inexplicably had 5 more pieces of equipment. One equipment slot requires about 50 pieces of iron ore. If you didn't steal these 250 pieces, how could you have 5 equipment slots! Is there another player in your situation? Yinyao, don't go too far!"
Everyone woke up as if from a dream.
"I thought she got them from dungeons, but now I think there's definitely a bug. How could she get five at once? If the drop rate is really that high, why haven't my friend and I gotten any in dungeons every day?"
"Indeed, it's hard not to be suspicious..."
"I'm speechless, my family! How can such a person be praised to the skies? The world is going downhill and morally corrupt!"
"The liar will die!"
Everyone spoke passionately and criticized her. Some people who didn't like her style threatened to teach her a lesson.
The focus of Bugui Langren was not on this, but...
Theoretically, it is correct to exchange 250 ores for 5 equipment slots, but the problem is that there is a certain chance of failure in the forging process.
Even he, a level 5 blacksmith, didn't dare to boast that he succeeded every time, let alone the poet blacksmith in front of him who didn't seem to be of a high level.
If it was really as the vice president of Beiming City said, that she succeeded 5 times out of 5 forgings, with a 100% forging rate, and all of them were made of iron, then he really had to look up to her.
Although he knew that it was somewhat immoral to be so partial, Bugui Langren still couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
What a promising blacksmith! Why doesn't he follow the right path?
Just as he was sighing, Yuan Qinglan raised his voice again: "Of course, to prove we're not lying, I'll take a screenshot of the transaction records and post them on the forum for everyone to see. Stop the War, come on."
After saying that, a figure slowly emerged from behind the crowd.
Zhan Shang glanced awkwardly at Xia Yao, who was being scolded by everyone, but saw that she looked at him coldly. His throat suddenly choked for no reason, and he looked away guiltily. He licked his lips and said, "...Sister Qinglan, I've posted the screenshots."
Yuan Qinglan chuckled and clicked on the screenshot. "Time: three days ago. Item traded: iron ore. Quantity: 250. Trader: Yunyan. So, Yinyao, do you still want to deny it?"
Clouds and smoke.
Xia Yao closed her eyes and quickly recalled.
She has an impression of this ID.
She had met him while mining in Hughes Heights.
A cute female player, a mage, but unfortunately her fighting ability is not very good. When she encountered monsters in Hughes Highlands, she couldn't beat them and could only run all over the field. Finally, because the monsters interfered with her mining, she helped her get rid of the monsters.
As far as I remember, she was only at level 2 in mining at that time?
How to say it, the quality of iron ore mined at this level will not be very good.
In other words, how could poor quality ore be used to forge the equipment slots she wears and sells?
Xia Yao sighed inwardly and was too lazy to explain to this group of people, so she started to pack up her stall and put her things into her backpack one by one.
But Yuan Qinglan suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, "Still want to run! Can you escape?"
Then he leaned close to her ear and said with a very light laugh, "Don't struggle. Either give the things to Beiming City, or I will ruin your reputation."
"Oh? Really?" Xia Yao didn't shy away from the offer. Instead, she lazily raised her eyelids. "What if I say I won't give it to you?"
Her eyes were as cold as ice, and Yuan Qinglan felt a chill on his back. He shook off her arm and said word by word, "Then don't blame me, Yuan Qinglan, for not giving you a chance."
No action can be taken in the city, so she can't do anything to her for the time being.
But the harsh words had been spoken, the screenshots had been made public, and people kept replying to the post. The whirlpool of public opinion had already quickly rolled up. Yuan Qinglan raised the corners of her mouth proudly. She just didn't believe that Yin Yao would dare not give her the things!
The group walked away with their heads held high. Seeing this, Xia Yao took out the things from her backpack and continued to sell them in front of the players.
After all, I paid 5 gold coins, and there is still a quarter of an hour left, right?
The crowd gradually dispersed. No one dared to approach the originally bustling stall area in Zone C because of the commotion in Beiming City.
No one wants to offend the top ten guilds, and even less want to have anything to do with the number one thief!
"I'm so pissed! These brainless idiots just believe everything they hear. They don't understand Big Sister at all. Why do they curse her like that?"
Zhang Bu Pa was so angry that he was trembling with fear. His two hands transformed into eight claws, and he switched between the world and forum pages for a passionate debate!
But how could she win the argument with a group of people? Soon she was drowned in saliva, and her ID was also exposed.
#Next post I am not afraid of traveling all over the world, the first thief's accomplice, snakes and rats are all from the same nest, I will beat them up if I see one#
[OP: Exactly as the title says. This person keeps popping up on the forums and in the world, calling us idiots. If we don't kill them, will they come back to attack us later after stealing our stuff?]
[1st Floor: Fuck, I recognize this ID. It's a female assassin. I remember I teamed up with her.]
[2nd floor: I've seen it too, their abilities are truly rubbish. If she didn't have a nanny boyfriend by her side, I wouldn't even want them to join the team]
[3rd floor: The number one on the list is actually friends with this kind of person? It seems the number one on the list has very bad character, actually falling to the point of hanging out with trash hhh]
…
[9th Floor: Everyone, please stop going off topic. This woman is dancing like crazy. Aren't you going to deal with her?]
[10th Floor: I saw her! In the Red Crow Wilderness, coordinates [123.88.64]]
Zhang Bu'pa was earnestly reciting Zaun's quotations when suddenly several skills came at him from behind!
"Ah! Who is it?"
She turned around suddenly and found five or six players staring at her with ill intentions.
"He's actually an assassin, but he doesn't even have this little bit of intuition. It's hilarious."
"You only reacted after the skill hit you, and you still dare to argue with others."
"Why waste time talking to this kind of person? Just go for it."
Zhang Bu Pa thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly sent a voice message to Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry: "Come here quickly, someone wants to kill me!"
After I sent the voice message, I found out that he was offline!
What's going on?
Zhang Bu Bu was shocked and had to turn his attention back.
However, she was no match for them alone. A series of skills kept coming at her, and she had no way to dodge them. In a panic, her health bar suddenly dropped to the bottom, and she fell to the ground with a thud. The weapon and dagger in her hand were forced to fall out, and she also lost a lot of experience points.
She quickly clicked to revive and return to the city.
However, before I could even catch my breath, I saw a group of people standing at the resurrection point.
The moment she appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on her, as if a group of vicious jackals saw a weak and helpless little white rabbit.
"What are you doing! This is the main city, you can't fight!" She clenched her fists and bared her teeth, trying to make herself look as good as the other party.
Unexpectedly, the people on the opposite side all showed sinister smiles. Several men came up to her, covered her mouth, strangled her waist, tied her hands behind her back, and dragged her out of the city as quickly as possible.
The resurrection points were originally located at the four edges of the Perth Empire, namely the east, south, west and north. It was effortless for more than ten people to drag her out.
In a blink of an eye, Zhang Bupa was thrown into the grass.
She stared at the group of villains in horror. She knew that this was just a game, but the extremely realistic experience made her suddenly feel like this was reality!
She curled up on the ground and struggled hard, but was hit by a mage's skill head-on.
Even if she lowered the pain level to the lowest 30%, Zhang Bupa could still clearly feel her head exploding. Blood was flowing out from the cracks between her bones, scorching hot, mixing with her tears.
"I told you to be gentle, why did you kill him so quickly?"
"Forget it, tell the brothers at the resurrection point to drag them out and take their turn!"
The other side.
After 15 minutes of setting up the stall, Xia Yao stood up to pack up her things and suddenly received a message from a friend.
[Learn math, physics, and chemistry well: Boss, please, save Zhang Bupa! ]
