Chapter 333: Encountering the Dwarf Commander Again
Translator: 549690339
With the one hundred thousand Doomsday Coins in hand, excitement filled Song Jianâs face. This transaction exceeded his expectations by a lot, but it also aroused his interest in the level-30 Dark Castle dungeon.
What kind of dungeon would make Annie invest so heavily? If she could spend a hundred thousand, then the output of this dungeon must be several times that.
After considering for a while, Song Jian shook his head. The level-30 dungeon was not something he could enter at this point.
After pre-ordering a batch of T-X high-explosive grenade materials from Annie, Song Jian went to the auction house to buy materials for making Self-destructing Robots.
In fact, the biggest gain from this transaction, Song Jian felt, was the Third-tier Demon Flame within the Bone Box. However, he did not know how to use the Magic Flame yet and could only set it aside. As for Annie from the Silver Moon Commerce, he dared not even disclose it, lest he attracts unnecessary trouble.
When Song Jian arrived at the auction house, he found that many players were excitedly discussing the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace.
âDid you hear? That Imperial Dragon Demon Palace opening cost five or six alliances heavy losses, and they got nothing!â
âNot only that, but 1 heard that there were at least a dozen NPC deaths, all of them level-15 elites. But the benefits were reaped by a single player!
Impressive!â
âHmph, stand out, and youâll get shot. I heard that the best stuff in the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace was snatched by that player, and as a result, many NPCs have issued bounties on him. 1 heard the rewards are pretty good!â
â1 donât know what that guy got, but itâs causing so many NPCs to go green with envy. However, getting ten thousand Doomsday Coins just by killing him once, these NPCs are desperate!â
âThis game is too bizarre. NPCs can issue quests to kill players? Donât you find that strange?â
âWhatâs so strange about that? The NPCs in this game are smart. If it werenât for their status, I would hardly be able to tell the difference between them and the players!â
âBy the way, whatâs the name of that player who is being targeted by so many NPCsâ bounties? Heâs pretty much my idol!â
âI think his name is Song Jian. He must be a fierce person, able to make so many NPCs and alliances suffer. Ordinary players like us canât deal with him; itâs better to stay out of it and donât provoke him.â
Song Jian frowned, feeling like he had suddenly become famous, as many players were discussing him. This forced him to conceal all his attributes.
In fact, many players were accustomed to hiding their levels and lives, keeping their heads bare. Only some particularly âflashyâ players would display their names, attributes, and titles above their heads.
After buying up all the materials for making Self-destructing Robots in the auction house, Song Jian, pretending to be curious, asked one of the players discussing the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace excitedly: âWhere are those NPCs who issued the bounty quests you mentioned?â
âHey, bro, are you interested? Ten thousand Doomsday Coins arenât that easy to come by. 1 heard that this Song Jian guy is incredible, with a terrifying combat power. He managed to keep a group of NPCs with level-15 elite BOSS power at bay. This task wonât be easy. Wouldnât want you to get roped into it⦠Players only have one life, donât be fooled by these NPCs as their pawnâ¦â
âNot really, just curiousâ¦â Song Jian showed a shy smile, looking harmless.
âMost of the NPCs who issued the tasks are moving around, not staying in one place for too long. However, there is one NPC who opened a blacksmithâs shop in the city, the kind that forges weapons and equipment. He also issued a task to kill Song Jian. You can go check it out thereâ¦â The player told Song Jian the exact location of the blacksmithâs shop.
âThanks.â Song Jian smiled and turned to leave.
In the World Alliance conference room, a group of people were gathered around an oval table discussing the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace.
Although they had set up an alliance, many people still preferred to call it a guild, and the leader of the alliance was called the president by these people. âPresident, what exactly happened in the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace that so many NPCs are now pursuing this Song Jian? Should we accept this task too? Ten thousand Doomsday Coins!â
âOld Eight, if youâre greedy for money, just go and accept this task, but don t drag us down with youâ¦â A player sitting beneath the president with slanted eyes glared at the player who spoke: âYou werenât there, so you donât know the strength of that player. Weâve all witnessed it firsthand. Hmph, in fact, if it werenât for Song Jian, our group might all have died in that demon palace!â
As he spoke, the player retold the events in the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace to everyone. Many people couldnât help but gasp, their eyes full of disbelief.
âHow can there be such a powerful player at this stage?
âLevel-20 elite BOSSes are no match for him? What level is he?â âSelf-destructing Robots? What are those, products of engineering? They can kill a level-15 elite BOSS in seconds? Are they really that strong?â
âEven if he is that powerful, itâs just one person. 1 donât believe our alliance canât swarm and kill him!â
âIs it necessary? For ten thousand Doomsday Coins, how many people do you think will die? Is it worth it?â
The conference room became noisy, with those who hadnât experienced the imperial Dragon Demon Palace not believing Song Jian could be so powerful. However, those who had witnessed it did not want to provoke such an existence.
On the other hand, Song Jian had already appeared in a simple blacksmith shop. The owner of this shop was one of the NPCs who had issued a bounty on Song Jian.
âItâs him?â Song Jianâs eyebrows jumped, and a look of surprise flashed across his face as he looked at the NPC melting ores and making equipment in front of the blacksmithâs shop.
This NPC turned out to be the Dwarf Commander that Song Jian had encountered outside the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace. Back then, he had killed his three subordinates who had tried to stop him, while the commander had escaped and never entered the palace.
âHumph, since youâre seeking death, donât blame me!â A murderous intent emerged in Song Jianâs eyes. His relationship with the Dwarf Clan had been raised from hatred to indifference due to his title of savior. However, his relationship with this Dwarf Commander remained one of hatred.
Clang clang clang-
The Dwarf Commander clenched his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, continuously hammering the clump of material on the iron anvil. In a short while, the shape of a long knife appeared on the anvil.
Looking at the weapon about to take shape, the Dwarf Commander gritted his teeth, took out a piece of Obsidian from his parcel, and placed it in the furnace fire with iron tongs.
Soon, ten minutes later, the Obsidian started to show signs of melting. The Dwarf Commander quickly grabbed it with tongs and fused it with the nearly finished weapon blank.
As the long knife on the iron anvil neared completion, a look of frustration appeared on the Dwarf Commanderâs face. He shook his head and sighed, âItâs a pity that I had only ordinary flames during forging. If I had Strange Fire, even a first-tier one, this weapon would be at least silver quality. But now, itâs at most a top blue-grade weapon.â
As he was speaking, a dazzling blue light suddenly shone on the iron anvil.
