The Wonders of the Ironclaw Rat Claw

Inside Nan Feng's wooden hut, the [Crude Disassembler] trembled slightly, emitting a tractor-like rumble.

The 40 [Ironclaw Rat Claws] were quickly disassembled.

The good news was that these [Ironclaw Rat Claws] could indeed be broken down into iron elements.

The bad news was that the resulting product was neither [Tekkai] nor [Small Tekkai], but a new item called [Iron Sand].

[Iron Sand]: Given a sufficient quantity, [Iron Sand] can be used as [Small Tekkai].

Great, this stuff is even a grade lower than [Small Tekkai]... Nan Feng couldn't help but curl his lip.

"It probably takes 50 portions of [Iron Sand] to synthesize one [Small Tekkai]... and ten [Small Tekkai] to synthesize one [Tekkai]..."

Nan Feng quickly did some mental calculations and realized that he still needed 3460 [Ironclaw Rat Claws] to gather the 10 [Tekkai] needed to upgrade it's Destined Divine Weapon.

What a rip-off!

Nan Feng was immediately stumped.

One [Ironclaw Rat] drops 2 [Ironclaw Rat Claws], so Nan Feng would have to kill 1730 of them!

Wouldn't that take forever?

He might as well go mining with them.

"Wait, [Ironclaw Rats] are everywhere, other Chosen Ones must have [Ironclaw Rat Claws] in their backpacks too..."

"They don't have a disassembler, so [Ironclaw Rat Claws] are useless to them. Maybe I can trade a small amount of materials for a huge pile!"

With this thought, Nan Feng hurriedly opened the [Trade Channel].

Sure enough, there were many [Ironclaw Rat Claws] listed for trade.

Someone was trading [Ironclaw Rat Claws]*50 for [Fresh Water]*1.

Someone was trading [Ironclaw Rat Claws]*10 for [Wood]*1.

Someone else was trading [Ironclaw Rat Claws]*20 for any [Food]*1...

These [Ironclaw Rat Claws] were dirt cheap, and no one wanted them.

After all, no one knew what [Ironclaw Rat Claws] were good for. They just took up space in their backpacks, so they might as well list them on the [Trade Channel] and see if they could trade them for something useful.

Nan Feng's mouth split into a grin, and he immediately started a buying spree, snapping up most of the [Ironclaw Rat Claws].

A total of 306 [Ironclaw Rat Claws].

And Nan Feng only paid [Wood]*8, [Stone]*14, [Chicken Meat]*2, [Not-So-Clean Fresh Water]*1...

What a bargain!

But this amount was still too small, not nearly enough for Nan Feng to use.

In the [Chat Channel], Nan Feng's frantic shopping had already attracted the attention of other Chosen Ones.

Ma Yong: "Huh? My 50 [Ironclaw Rat Claws] actually sold? Does anyone really want this stuff?"

Xu Ming: "Mine sold too, traded for [Stone]*2, easy money."

Ning Wu: "Mine sold too..."

Wu Yuansheng: "Someone's buying [Ironclaw Rat Claws]? Is this stuff useful?"

Bao Jian: "Looks like it's Nan Feng buying them. @Nan Feng"

Seeing this, Nan Feng quickly edited a message and sent it out.

Nan Feng: "Buying [Ironclaw Rat Claws] in bulk, any material*1 for [Ironclaw Rat Claws]*10, trade quickly!"

Nan Feng thought that the price of 10:1 for rat claws and materials was reasonable, since others had no use for the rat claws anyway.

Huang Yuanming: "@Nan Feng, bro, tell me secretly, what are [Ironclaw Rat Claws] used for?"

Nan Feng: "Telling you wouldn't hurt, I plan to forge a Dragon-Slaying Saber."

Huang Yuanming: "Heh, I don't believe you."

Tian Zhiping: "@Nan Feng, since you know the use of [Ironclaw Rat Claws], you should tell everyone for free."

Nan Feng: "?"

Nan Feng: "When I slowly type out a question mark, it's not me who has the problem, it's you."

Tian Zhiping: "What problem do I have? Am I wrong?"

Tian Zhiping: "[Ironclaw Rat Claws] must have a great use, but everyone doesn't know it yet. You're the first to know, and instead of telling everyone, you're secretly buying all the [Ironclaw Rat Claws] in the trade channel, you're so selfish!"

Tian Zhiping: "I think you should share the use of [Ironclaw Rat Claws] for free, and then return all the [Ironclaw Rat Claws] you just bought to others."

Nan Feng was amused and angered, wondering if this Tian Zhiping had a problem with his brain.

Nan Feng: "The buyers didn't speak, the sellers didn't speak, but you, you moron, keep talking."

Nan Feng: "You're not selfish, then please give me all the items in your backpack, okay? Dumbass."

Tian Zhiping didn't take Nan Feng's bait, and instead went to persuade other Chosen Ones: "Don't trade with him, [Ironclaw Rat Claws] must have a great use, we just don't know it yet. Even if you want to sell, the price must be increased tenfold."

Liu Daqiang: "What you said makes sense, can I sell my [Ironclaw Rat Claws] to you at ten times the price?"

Bao Jian: "Ten times the price? @Tian Zhiping, if you're buying at ten times the price, I'll head out and start killing them right now. How many do you want, I'll kill that many."

Nan Feng: "Ten times the price, I'll sell you everything I just collected too."

Huang Yuanming: "Ten times the price, and I'll hunt the Ironclaw Rat to extinction today."

Seeing that he had become the target of everyone's jokes, Tian Zhiping could only sulk away and go silent.

I haven't even started trash-talking yet, and he's already running away... Nan Feng shook his head in disappointment, lamenting that this Tian Zhiping was too weak.

As a former canyon pianist and Zaun trash-talker, Nan Feng hadn't even used one percent of his strength, and his opponent had already fallen. It was inevitably unsatisfying.

Nan Feng: "Everyone, the Ironclaw Rat Claw is indeed useful, but the conditions for using it are very harsh. You probably won't be able to use it."

Nan Feng: "It's a waste to keep them in your backpacks. Why not trade them with me for some materials, right?"

The other Chosen Ones thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

Anyway, the Ironclaw Rat Claw wasn't useful right now, so it was better to exchange it for some materials to upgrade their Destined Divine Weapon and upgrade their small wooden house to improve their combat power. After all, living is the most important thing!

Moreover, even if they found out later that the Ironclaw Rat Claw was very useful, it wouldn't matter. Level 1 and 2 Ironclaw Rat were easy to kill. They could get as many Ironclaw Rat Claw as they wanted, there was no shortage at all.

In this world where death was always a possibility, the immediate benefits were the most important. The future? They could think about that if they lived that long.

Qiu Feihong: "I'm going to level up to level 3 this afternoon, so I'll just go kill some Ironclaw Rat."

Bao Jian: "The Ironclaw Rat are weak and easy to kill. I've been hunting them for the past two days."

Ma Yong: "They drop both rat meat and rat claws, you're making me tempted."

Many Chosen Ones who were still at level 1 or 2 set their sights on hunting Ironclaw Rat.

That's the effect I wanted... Nan Feng nodded in satisfaction, closed the Chat Channel, and put 200 units of materials on the Trade Channel.

Any material * 1 in exchange for Ironclaw Rat Claw * 10.

After doing all this, Nan Feng started preparing food.

It was time for lunch.
