"Hey, I think you'd better get a ranged weapon. You're really beneath yourself as a melee hunter!"
After knocking down a large dire wolf, Zhu Ganglie looked at Joey, who was stabbing the dire wolf's body with a steel sword, and spoke with a hint of mockery.
Joey pierced the dire wolf's throat with his final strike before leaning against the wolf's corpse, panting heavily as he rested.
"What you said makes some sense. We've been out for over ten days, it's time to go back. We can go back and get a ranged weapon to play with!"
Although Joey was unhappy with Zhu Ganglie's tone, he had to admit that what he said made a lot of sense.
Joey stood up, pulled out a small knife, and skillfully skinned the dire wolf. His skinning skill level was now LV2.
"Are your teeth strong enough to handle eating wolf meat today?"
After Joey skinned the wolf, he began to butcher the dire wolf. Although he could understand what the dire wolf was saying, the creature was stubborn and only wanted to eat Joey's flesh. So Joey had no choice but to retaliate in self-defense and eat it!
"If even a dog can eat that, then I can eat it too!"
Zhu Ganglie glanced at the digger beside him and said cautiously.
"He's a kobold, not a dog!"
Joey wouldn't allow his cash cow to be slandered like this; it was necessary to protect the reputation of his excellent employees.
During this time, WaWa was never idle. He kept mining for Joey and would immediately hand over the ore he got to Joey.
"I think it looks just like a dog. Look at that head!"
Zhu Ganglie looked at Wa Wa's head.
If you only look at his head, he really does look like a dog.
"Dig! Dig!"
It's unclear whether Wawa was protesting its identity or had made some new discovery, but it called out twice more.
Joey, in his casual manner, ignored the two of them, proceeded to prepare the wolf meat, and got ready to start a fire.
...
"Clang clang!"
The distinctive sounds of auctions being sold in Ashfire City can be heard from a great distance.
"This is an auction house? It looks rather interesting!"
Joey watched as the auction house was bustling with people, much like the shopping malls she had visited in her previous life.
Excuse me, could you please let me pass?
Joey squeezed through the crowd and headed toward the auction house window.
After finally squeezing to the window, a female goblin receptionist was tidying up the documents left behind by the person in front of her.
"Um... hello! I'd like to ask how to use this auction house; I need to buy some things!"
Joey didn't want to pretend to be a regular customer. He had already found out before coming that the auction house was also owned by goblins and had exceptionally good service. There was no need to put on an act just to save face.
"Hello, dear sir, you look very tall!"
The female goblin put down the documents in her hand, turned to look at Joey, and a standard professional smile immediately appeared on her face.
"It's a pleasure to serve you!"
"If this is your first time here, we need to register your personal information!"
The female goblin remained very polite, her smile unwavering.
"Oh well!"
Joey was very satisfied with the service.
"My name is Joey Brown!"
"Hmm... a human from Linhai Town, 25 years old this year, I..."
"That's enough, Mr. Joey. I don't need that much detail; I just need your name!"
The female goblin remained patient, and seeing that Joey was indeed visiting the auction house for the first time and was not familiar with the procedures, she did not show any impatience.
After being reminded by her, Joey didn't say anything more, but just waited quietly for the female goblin to give her instructions on the next steps.
About a minute later, the female goblin took out something that looked like an iPad and waved it in Joey's face.
"It's you, esteemed Mr. Joey. Thank you for visiting the Goblin Auction House. You are our SVIP customer, please wait a moment!"
After glancing at the information on the iPad, the female goblin's enthusiasm intensified.
She took a sign from under the counter and placed it directly in front of Joey. It read "Services temporarily suspended" in Common Language.
When Joey heard "SVIP customer," she really thought she had returned to her past life, except that the goblin in front of her was actually a beautiful young lady cosplaying as one, and the "Business Suspended" sign was exactly the same.
When the female goblin's sign was first put out, the people behind Joey complained and dispersed, moving to other lines. The female goblin then left her workstation.
"Hello, Mr. Joey!"
The female elf quickly walked up to Joey, her face still bearing a professional smile.
"Hello, may I ask how I became your SVIP customer? As far as I know, this is truly my first time visiting this auction house!"
Joey was a little surprised that he had become an SVIP customer of the auction house, so he asked about it.
"Oh, I see. You deposited a sum of gold coins at the goblin bank in Gold Rush Town. The goblin who served you back then was named Phil, right?"
"Yes, that's right, but it seems I don't have many gold coins saved up!"
"No, no, no, dear Mr. Joey, our Goblin Bank classifies its depositors according to local deposit conditions. Phil believes you have deposited a considerable amount of gold coins, which is why you are given this treatment!"
The female goblin patiently explained to Joey.
"Oh, I see. Well then, I should thank Phil!"
"This is what we should do. Both the Goblin Bank and the Goblin Auction House are Goblin businesses, and their customer information is shared."
"Now that you mention it, I just remembered that the rocket boots Phil gave me as a gift because of my savings are broken. I was wondering where I could get them repaired?"
"It's broken? I'm so sorry, I've caused you a bad experience!"
"No, no, no, I think it can still be used after some repairs!"
Joey was a little embarrassed by the enthusiastic service from the goblins.
"However, we at the auction house really can't repair rocket boots, which are a free gift. But if you have time, you can try contacting Phil. He's in Ashfurnace City right now, just a few minutes away from here!"
"Oh, really? That's wonderful!"
Although those rocket boots were ruined, they were indeed very useful when slaying the red dragon. Joey felt it was necessary to repair them, so they might still be useful in the future.
"I'll go find him after I finish what I'm doing here!"
"Yes, dear Mr. Joey!"
"To avoid taking up any more of your time, please follow me!"
The female goblin gestured for Joey to follow her.
Joey had no reason to refuse and followed the female goblin toward a large building next to the auction house.
