Red-Bearded Dwarf Who Slew Dragons

Xiao Yang's intention to refuse had not changed.

Suddenly, a new development occurred. Beside Xiao Yang, a burly dwarf with a long red beard spoke dismissively.

"Another bunch of scum trying to trick newbies!"

"Kid, where did you crawl out from? Haven't you even read the Five Rules for New Players!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yang looked towards the red-bearded dwarf beside him. Ming Xuanzi also looked over, but his expression was not good, especially after seeing the red-bearded dwarf's Level.

"I don't know why you say that, I am a successor from the Nether Cave of the Black Abyss Plane!"

In response to such a threat, the red-bearded dwarf impatiently swung the hammer in his hand.

"Blah blah blah, if you've got the guts, get out of this trading area and find me at the Hellish High Furnace!"

Faintly, Xiao Yang saw a purple glow on the hammer in the red-bearded dwarf's hand.

After they exchanged names, Ming Xuanzi fell silent, his expression shifting. Finally, with a snort, he turned and left!

Seeing this, Xiao Yang knew he had encountered a big shot and began to approach the red-bearded dwarf.

The red-bearded dwarf was initially cold towards Xiao Yang, but soon, under Xiao Yang's constant flattery of him being a "big shot," he began to swing his hammer and bragged about his own stories to his "little brother."

By the way, the red-bearded dwarf's name was Redbeard, or rather, Redbeard was just a part of his rather long name.

During their conversation, Xiao Yang also learned about the Five Rules for New Players from Redbeard.

One, never expose your talent or abilities.

Two, do not betray your plane.

Three, never invite other Players into your plane before the Plane Lord is born.

Four, do not align yourself with Evil Gods.

Five, do not casually add game friends.

Xiao Yang wanted to ask Redbeard more about these Five Rules for New Players, but Redbeard was not one for explanations. The more he asked, the more annoyed the red-bearded dwarf became, and he angrily spoke to Xiao Yang.

"Ask, ask, ask! Why are you asking so much! Just follow them!"

Scolded like this, Xiao Yang was not angered, but instead smiled and continued.

"Don't be angry, Big Shot Redbeard, I just don't have as much experience as you! By the way, tell me again about your story of slaying the Red Dragon!"

With a change of pace, the red-bearded dwarf was no longer angry and happily began to tell Xiao Yang his dragon-slaying story. He was quite an interesting fellow.

As their conversation concluded, Xiao Yang still asked his newly met dwarf senior.

"Today's events won't involve you, will they!"

Thus, Xiao Yang, a Level five Player, sincerely asked the Level thirty-three Dwarf Lava Blacksmith.

It was indeed true that Xiao Yang lacked common sense about the Myriad Worlds; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked such a question.

The gap between him and the red-bearded dwarf was roughly equivalent to that between a Golden Core Cultivator and a Second-rate Martial Artist, or a Red Dragon and the village knight whose village was destroyed by the Red Dragon. Their tiers were not even on the same level, so there was no way he needed to worry about Redbeard.

Redbeard was also stunned and glanced at Xiao Yang with a strange expression. However, it was clear that this hot-tempered fellow seemed to appreciate this gesture.

His hairy, large hand directly patted Xiao Yang's back, making Xiao Yang stagger. There was no doubt that if not for the protection of the God Game's rules within the Myriad Worlds Trading Area, Xiao Yang might have collapsed on the spot from that pat.

After all, this was likely a dwarf who had actually slain a dragon.

"You kid are worried about me? What the hell does it have to do with you? I just can't stand those scoundrels!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yang nodded. His demeanor was not an act but his genuine thought. Of course, Redbeard could see this, otherwise, he wouldn't have thought highly of Xiao Yang.

"Alright, if you want to craft some equipment in the future, you can come find me. I like you, so I'll charge you at cost!"

Amidst his hearty laughter, Xiao Yang attempted to send a friend request, which was directly rejected by Redbeard.

"Idiot! Didn't I tell you to pay attention to the Five Rules for New Players!"

With these unceremonious words, Xiao Yang laughed shamelessly.

Shortly after, he began browsing the items on Redbeard's stall. This scoundrel even wanted Redbeard to give him a discount, but he was unhesitatingly refused.

Redbeard stated directly that even the landlord had no surplus grain, and he had to support a lava workshop. No matter how many "big shots" Xiao Yang called him, a discount was impossible.

Facing this situation, Xiao Yang could only sigh in distress.

You wouldn't believe it, but Xiao Yang was genuinely interested in the items on Redbeard's stall.

[Flame Longsword

Quality: Excellent

Type: Elemental Weapon

Requirement: Strength 10

Damage: 28, with a burning effect

Description: An excellent longsword inscribed with flame runes.]

It was priced at two hundred thousand. He couldn't afford it, not at all.

However, after listening to stories for a long time and building some rapport with this dwarf big shot, getting on his good side was not without its rewards.

Seeing Xiao Yang's penniless state, the Red-Bearded Dwarf rummaged through his personal backpack and actually pulled out a few small items Xiao Yang could use. He sold them to Xiao Yang at scrap prices.

One thousand Spirit Coins for three white-tier equipment pieces, three hundred each, practically a giveaway. Xiao Yang didn't stand on ceremony and accepted them on the spot.

They were a Leather Chestplate, a Leather Hat, and Leather Pants – this leather three-piece set.

[Leather Chestplate

Quality: Normal

Type: Light Armor, Chestplate

Effect: Increases Defense by 1.

Description: Yes, this is a leather chestplate.]

The chestplate gave a bit of defense, the hat gave a bit of defense, and the pants gave a bit of agility. Although the bonuses were pitifully small, they were still much better than the blackened, tattered T-shirt Xiao Yang was currently wearing. At the very least, after putting on this set, he wouldn't look like such a newbie anymore.

Xiao Yang was quite pleased with this.

Afterward, Xiao Yang continued chatting with the Red-Bearded Dwarf while selling goods. He gradually sold a few more things, including some green-tier Zombie Viscera. A vendor who dealt in undead creatures approached him to buy them, but it was clear that selling undead creatures wasn't a lucrative business.

The Necromancer, for dozens of Spirit Coins, haggled with Xiao Yang over every bit. But it wasn't surprising; most undead-based classes seemed capable of raising their own minions. Necromancers who focused on army-building even had their own graveyards and didn't need to buy undead creatures on a large scale.

Otherwise, why would this Necromancer, who was over level thirty, be so miserably trying to get Xiao Yang to round down the price by a few dozen Spirit Coins?
