Chapter 333: Encountering the Dwarf Commander Again

Translator: 549690339

With the one hundred thousand Doomsday Coins in hand, excitement filled Song Jian’s 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.

“Did you hear? That Imperial Dragon Demon Palace opening cost five or six alliances heavy losses, and they got nothing!”

“Not 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!”

“Hmph, stand out, and you’ll 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!”

“1 don’t know what that guy got, but it’s causing so many NPCs to go green with envy. However, getting ten thousand Doomsday Coins just by killing him once, these NPCs are desperate!”

“This game is too bizarre. NPCs can issue quests to kill players? Don’t you find that strange?”

“What’s so strange about that? The NPCs in this game are smart. If it weren’t for their status, I would hardly be able to tell the difference between them and the players!”

“By the way, what’s the name of that player who is being targeted by so many NPCs’ bounties? He’s pretty much my idol!”

“I 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 can’t deal with him; it’s better to stay out of it and don’t provoke him.”

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 “flashy” 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: “Where are those NPCs who issued the bounty quests you mentioned?”

“Hey, bro, are you interested? Ten thousand Doomsday Coins aren’t 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 won’t be easy. Wouldn’t want you to get roped into it… Players only have one life, don’t be fooled by these NPCs as their pawn…”

“Not really, just curious…” Song Jian showed a shy smile, looking harmless.

“Most 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 blacksmith’s 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 there…” The player told Song Jian the exact location of the blacksmith’s shop.

“Thanks.” 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. “President, 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!”

“Old Eight, if you’re greedy for money, just go and accept this task, but don t drag us down with you…” A player sitting beneath the president with slanted eyes glared at the player who spoke: “You weren’t there, so you don’t know the strength of that player. We’ve all witnessed it firsthand. Hmph, in fact, if it weren’t for Song Jian, our group might all have died in that demon palace!”

As he spoke, the player retold the events in the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace to everyone. Many people couldn’t help but gasp, their eyes full of disbelief.

“How can there be such a powerful player at this stage?

“Level-20 elite BOSSes are no match for him? What level is he?” “Self-destructing Robots? What are those, products of engineering? They can kill a level-15 elite BOSS in seconds? Are they really that strong?”

“Even if he is that powerful, it’s just one person. 1 don’t believe our alliance can’t swarm and kill him!”

“Is it necessary? For ten thousand Doomsday Coins, how many people do you think will die? Is it worth it?”

The conference room became noisy, with those who hadn’t 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.

“It’s him?” Song Jian’s 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 blacksmith’s 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.

“Humph, since you’re seeking death, don’t blame me!” A murderous intent emerged in Song Jian’s 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 Commander’s face. He shook his head and sighed, “It’s 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, it’s at most a top blue-grade weapon.”

As he was speaking, a dazzling blue light suddenly shone on the iron anvil.
