Red Logan's Great Horn

Well, this had gone much more easily than Xiao Yang had expected. He hadn't even offered a discount, let alone brought out the God Game premium certification for the Lava Battle Axe.

Before long, a burly orc player stepped forward.

"Fine battle axe! Baru wants it!"

"Ah!"

The blunt remark caught Xiao Yang halfway through his pitch, just as he was getting into it. He'd even climbed onto a little keg, ready to put on a proper show, and now he just stared in disbelief.

"Wait, you haven't even checked the Flame Battle Axe's detailed stats. You're buying it already?"

And that wasn't all. While Xiao Yang was still standing there dumbfounded, a trade request popped up.

Player Baru has initiated a trade with you!

"Huh?"

Xiao Yang sent another question mark, but the orc, Baru, was an impatient sort.

Seeing Xiao Yang frozen in place, Baru assumed he'd changed his mind and put on a fierce expression.

"You trying to play Baru for a fool?!"

As if Xiao Yang would dare try to play Baru for a fool. He accepted the trade at once. A full seven hundred thousand Spirit Coins came through, and Xiao Yang promptly handed over the Flame Battle Axe. Trade complete.

Baru checked the Flame Battle Axe's stats. Apparently satisfied, he swung it a few times and exclaimed happily,

"Fine battle axe! Fine battle axe!"

With such a promising start, the rest went smoothly. Xiao Yang sold Redbeard one piece of equipment after another: the Storm Battle Hammer, Fine Steel Shield, Rage Belt, and Flame Storm Grenades.

Almost everything he put out sold immediately. This could only mean two things: Redbeard really had no idea how to sell things, and he'd apparently never bothered to advertise his wares.

The goods really were top-notch, and the prices were generally low. Even when Xiao Yang doubled them and then knocked thirty percent off, they still sold without a hitch. Things went so smoothly that Xiao Yang was starting to feel numb. At this point, he had only one thought: if he were selling milk here, there was no way it wouldn't sell.

In just a few hours, every last item was gone. Xiao Yang had even sold his Zombie Flesh Boots, a Heavy Strike Skill Scroll, and some fine-quality Large Bone Clubs from the skeletons.

He'd even sold the stack of books he'd collected from the Skeleton Dungeon to an Apprentice Mage who was interested in books from other worlds.

The only things left were the Zombie Viscera. Nobody wanted those.

When the rush died down, Xiao Yang and Redbeard looked at each other. At the same time, a trace of bewilderment appeared in both their eyes.

One was wondering, How did everything sell so well?

The other was wondering the same thing.

The haul was enormous. Xiao Yang suddenly had nearly seven million Spirit Coins in hand. If he'd chosen to leave the Myriad Worlds Trading Area right then, he could have made Redbeard take a huge loss and gotten rich in one fell swoop.

After all, Redbeard had only casually asked Xiao Yang to give it a try. He hadn't expected things to get this hot. Once the rush began, he wasn't prepared, and in the chaos, all the money somehow ended up in Xiao Yang's pocket.

The two of them looked at each other.

So, would Xiao Yang run off with it?

Without a moment's hesitation, Xiao Yang handed Redbeard every coin from the huge sum that hadn't come from selling his own goods.

Redbeard was taken aback by Xiao Yang's decisiveness. Then he burst out laughing, slapping Xiao Yang's back with his broad, fan-like hand.

"You're an interesting one, kid!"

Afterward, Xiao Yang received a hefty reward. Perhaps wanting to match Xiao Yang's generosity, Redbeard tried to give him everything from the sales beyond the original asking prices of the equipment.

It was a lot of money—nearly two million Spirit Coins. If Xiao Yang took it all, his growth would speed up considerably, and his Base Attributes might even multiply several times over.

But in the end, Xiao Yang refused and returned the money. It wasn't just because Redbeard had helped him. More importantly, the two of them had become friends.

Wasn't the friendship of a future master craftsman worth more than two million Spirit Coins?

Xiao Yang felt he ought to look further ahead. But he didn't have to wait until the future to see a reward for his choice. It came as a surprise right then and there.

In the end, Xiao Yang took 240,000 Spirit Coins, asking for just 10,000 for each piece of equipment he sold.

Redbeard wouldn't hear of it. He gave Xiao Yang all the extra Spirit Coins from the sale of the Lava Battle Axe, then offered to hire him to keep selling equipment. He'd pay Xiao Yang 10,000 Spirit Coins for every item sold.

And that wasn't all. Redbeard brought out a little keg.

"From now on, don't call me boss. We're friends now, and you've really helped me out!"

As he spoke, Redbeard tried to read the name above Xiao Yang's head.

"Screaming Emperor!"

The moment Xiao Yang heard that, he shuddered. All right, all right. The name was fine when he saw it himself, but hearing someone else say it was beyond embarrassing.

"Just call me Xiao Yang!"

Redbeard didn't understand why Xiao Yang had suddenly jolted as if he'd been electrocuted at the sound of that name. In his opinion, Screaming Emperor was a pretty good name. After all, anyone who dared to call himself an emperor had ambition.

But he didn't comment further. He smacked his lips.

"Fine, Xiao Yang, my friend. According to dwarven custom, once you've made a friend, you've got to share some good liquor. I won't stand on ceremony with you. Come on, this stuff is the real deal!"

Redbeard pulled Xiao Yang over and held up the little keg.

"This isn't just any good liquor. But I'm in a great mood today, so I'll let you try it!"

"I call it Red Logan's Great Horn—but it's the one below!"

As he said this, Redbeard gave Xiao Yang a rather suggestive smile.

Just then, the Detect spell Xiao Yang had cast out of curiosity returned its results. Xiao Yang's mouth slowly fell open. His bearded big brother had really brought out something special—though it was a little hard to describe.

Red Logan's Great Horn

Quality: Epic

Type: Fine liquor, consumable potion

Effects: Grants temporary immunity to fire, greatly increases fire damage and strength. Drinking it has a chance to grant an additional trait.

Description: This is a barrel of exquisite liquor, brewed from the blood of a red dragon named Logan. Of course, the blood wasn't the only ingredient. Some "even better" things also played a major role in the brewing process.

God Game didn't dare spell it out too clearly, but Xiao Yang was standing beside the little keg with its lid off. He got a good look.

This was no ordinary liquor! It was liquor brewed with a red dragon!
