Borrowing chickens to lay eggs

Since he had come to the Tian Yao Realm and reached the Ten Thousand Mountains, and it happened to be the Pandaren clan's celebration today, it would certainly be inappropriate to accept their hospitality and then leave immediately.

Since he was already here, Yang Jian no longer bothered about wasting a little time.

Although Bamboo Leaf participated in the so-called victory banquet, she didn't return with a happy mood.

After all, her parents had died during this mission to guard the Abyss Gate.

The next morning, after bidding farewell to Zhu Xi and Xiong Da, Yang Jian went straight to Moon Wolf Valley.

Although Mo Xuan hadn't promised how long it would take to provide those materials, Yang Jian implicitly assumed half a month.

If they were willing, that amount of time should be enough to gather everything needed.

If they weren't willing, no amount of time would help!

When Mo Xuan saw Yang Jian, he was clearly startled for a moment!

…Half an hour later, Yang Jian left Moon Wolf Valley with Mo Song.

The situation was slightly better than Yang Jian had expected.

He didn't return empty-handed, but there wasn't much either.

Seven Jade Bird Sands, eighteen Sky Dog Grasses, three Quicksand Earths, and two Dream Flowers!

Honestly, it was better than nothing.

He had come to take advantage of them anyway, so he wasn't too particular about what he got.

Yang Jian also did a thorough job of convincing Mo Song, making sure he didn't show any dissatisfaction.

Instead, he sincerely thanked Mo Xuan.

No kidding, having something was much better than nothing, and it saved a lot of money!

However, looking at his demeanor, there would definitely be no next time.

Mo Song also didn't plan to rely on the Howling Moon Wolf Clan.

He would use his own claws to carve out a bright future for himself!

He rushed to Shifang City at lightning speed.

Yang Jian paid two gold coins and then entered the city, preparing to leave.

Yang Jian didn't plan to leave the Tian Yao Realm now, but he also didn't intend to stay in Shifang City's territory.

After all, there were too many acquaintances here.

That was both a good thing and not a good thing!

Although if something happened, he might be able to seek help from people of the two races, but since they weren't relatives or friends, why would they help him?

Because he had contracted their clansmen?

That was a joke.

They invested in him for his potential, not to clean up his messes!

Who would spend real money just to find themselves a live-in father?

So, if something really happened, he couldn't necessarily rely on them.

And the downsides were very obvious.

If his many methods were discovered by these acquaintances... then he probably wouldn't be able to be friends with them anymore.

At a critical moment, if they gathered people to trick him and launch a siege... After all, how could a descendant be better than himself?

The titan heart and druid king ring on Yang Jian were both artifact embryos!

Yang Jian even thought about relying on his forging authority to forge his own artifact bow... He couldn't rely on the New World for materials anymore.

That's why he embarked on his journey through the myriad realms.

Tian Yao Realm, Binhai City.

As the name suggested, one could tell the location of this city.

The Tian Yao Realm also had three continents.

Yang Jian was now in the main city of another continent.

Of course, stepping out of the teleportation array was a dwarf in the image of old Luke.

He found the Blacksmiths' Association in Binhai City.

Dwarves have always been the forging backbone of the entire "salvation" world.

They have always been renowned and almost gained the recognition of all worlds.

Or rather, the dwarf race almost monopolized all forging orders in the entire game world.

"Master Luke, our guild has two cooperation models!"

The cat-girl opposite him was winking while explaining the different cooperation methods to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian was very interested in the cat-girl, but unfortunately, he still had to prioritize business.

Although Yang Jian stated he was part-time, dwarves, everyone has blacksmithing talent, no arguments accepted.

This was just like how everyone in Sichuan Province has pandas, and everyone in Inner Mongolia can ride horses.

It was a fixed impression people had.

So, Yang Jian easily managed to advance the process to the negotiation stage.

He didn't even have to show much of his forging skills!

"The first type is that we provide the materials, and you forge exclusive equipment for us."

"The second type is that you provide your own materials, forge them yourself, and then sell the finished products to us..."

Yang Jian was curious.

Yang Jian could also understand what the other party meant.

Actually, Yang Jian wanted to choose the first type directly.

But he wouldn't say the nonsense about not being free.

After all, Yang Jian didn't intend to work long-term.

He just wanted to freeload off the forging materials of this world.

However, if he chose the first cooperation model, the other party might specify a certain type of equipment to forge.

What if it was time-consuming and labor-intensive armor?

What if it was equipment that provided no benefit to Yang Jian at all?

And what if it was equipment that Yang Jian's forging level wasn't high enough to make?

"Could you first help me see what price our association would pay for this piece of equipment?"

Yang Jian took out a piece of equipment and handed it to the cat-girl.

Originally, Yang Jian had thought of using his forging authority to erase the last line of the description.

Later, he found that this world couldn't see the attributes of equipment.

People here judged the quality of equipment by its texture, materials, and equipment inscriptions.

Yang Jian didn't understand this yet.

This was a level 20 purple two-handed sword, forged by Yang Jian himself.

"Good sword!"

The cat-girl picked up the weapon and examined it carefully.

"I'll take it to a master for appraisal, please wait a moment!"

Yang Jian didn't care and let her go.

A level 20 two-handed sword and a dwarf blacksmith.

Yang Jian believed the other party could clearly distinguish which was more important.

When the cat-girl returned, she brought a dwarf with her.

The other party's appearance was clearly different from Luke's.

It was obvious that he wasn't a true fellow clansman.

"Hello, Brother Luke, right? My name is Kass Wildhammer, from the world of Azeroth!"

"The Wildhammer Clan of Aerie Peak?"

"Brother, have you been to Aerie Peak?"

"Uh, no, but I've been to Ironforge!"

Although he wasn't used to it, Yang Jian still hugged the other party.

"Luke Ironfoot, from Middle-earth."

When traveling, one's identity is self-proclaimed.

Yang Jian claimed to be a mountain royalty from Middle-earth.

Who could verify that?

They drank heavily until dusk.

Under Kass's arrangement, Yang Jian officially began his blacksmithing journey in Binhai City.

If he wanted to forge something, he could buy the materials directly from the Blacksmiths' Association.

Then, the finished products would be sold back to the Blacksmiths' Association at three times the price... Ten days later, Yang Jian announced his departure!

[Forging (Divine Potential), 335 / 1000]

It wasn't that Yang Jian didn't want to continue training here.

It was that such a pure blacksmithing association could no longer provide the high-end materials Yang Jian needed... The professional skill segmentation in the world of salvation was very clear.

The limit that ordinary players' forging could reach was 300 points.

And 300 points could already forge some level 60 purple equipment!

Only with special forging talent could the upper limit of forging be increased.

Green forging talent not only came with special abilities granted by the talent but also increased the upper limit of the forging skill by 35 points.

Blue 365, purple 390, orange 425, and only gold could upgrade to 450.

And Yang Jian, relying on the authority of the God of Forging, could train forging to the extreme level of 1000 points.

He also didn't have to worry about not finding forging blueprints to learn... Yang Jian's decision to leave wasn't actually because the association couldn't provide any materials at all.

It was because now, for any weapon Yang Jian forged that could increase his points, the Blacksmiths' Association would need to gather materials for a long time.

They had a little bit of various materials, but unlike at lower levels, they couldn't produce them on demand anymore!

Of course, the association wanted to hire Yang Jian long-term to forge other equipment for them... Unfortunately, standing before them was the King of the New World.

"No problem, big brother, since you've spoken, then I'll also be our association's vice-president from now on! What about the benefits...?"

Kass Wildhammer was very happy; he knew that the president and the others would never let a forging master with so much potential like Luke leave.

Now he wouldn't have to be caught in the middle, torn between two sides.

The Blacksmiths' Association of Binhai City was built jointly by the three major tribes of Binhai.

The Megalodon Shark Tribe, the Manta Ray Tribe, and the Giant Clam Tribe!

Actually, they generally didn't make things difficult for dwarves who came to take up temporary positions.

After all, the dwarf race was quite united when they were outside.

So the association wasn't willing to easily offend them; they would just extend an invitation, take it or leave it.

If you don't come, then scram... But Luke was different.

His talent was too strong!

Kass felt that he at least had orange forging talent, and possibly even gold...

After placating the Wildhammer dwarf sent by the association to communicate, Yang Jian told everyone he was going to a brothel to listen to music and then leisurely walked out.

Of course, someone followed him.

After all, Yang Jian had just expressed his intention to leave.

Unfortunately... "This is bad, Master Kass, Master Luke is gone!"

"What?"

Kass Wildhammer stood up, his face filled with shock.

Actually, Kass had a premonition that Luke was going to leave.

During their recent conversation, he had also hinted at it to the other party.

But that Luke could escape so easily was something he hadn't expected... "If he's gone, he's gone, why are you telling me?"

Kass didn't care at all. "I'm here to make money, I haven't sold myself to you!"

Through this incident with Luke, Kass also wanted to leave...

Stepping out of the Blacksmiths' Association, when Yang Jian turned a corner, he was no longer in the image of a dwarf.

The moment he turned a corner, Yang Jian transformed into an ordinary Octopoid.

He continued to wander aimlessly in Binhai City for a while, changing his appearance three times in between.

No kidding.

Still want to catch me?

These ten days, Yang Jian had been forging day and night to improve his skill.

Of course, the harvest was also very gratifying.

Not only was his skill proficiency raised to 335, but the gold coins in his backpack also increased by 200,000... Yang Jian had already earned 200,000.

The Blacksmiths' Association probably earned even more!

No wonder they wanted to keep him by force.

He went straight to the teleportation array and found that people from the three major tribes were already guarding it.

Their gazes, like torches, scanned everyone who passed by.

Yang Jian didn't care.

He was currently in the image of a Pandaren, two meters tall...

Those responsible for surveillance didn't even glance at him!

Standing on the teleportation array, Yang Jian selected his destination: New World, Zhenhai City.

When he stood on Zhenhai City's teleportation array again, a series of system prompts sounded in Yang Jian's ears.

Players were quite wealthy now, and travel between major cities was much more frequent.

Of course, there was still a basic understanding.

Each country tried to stay within its own territory and avoid causing trouble in others' territories.

After all, sometimes the official side maintained restraint, but the civilian side didn't have so many scruples...

Returning to the guild stronghold, Yang Jian took out an arrow from his backpack that looked like a work of art.

[Falling Star Arrow (Orange)]

[Usage Requirement: Bow]

[Usage Level: Level 40]

[Attack Damage +100]

[True Damage +1000]

[Additional Damage to Abyss +1000]

[Note: Forged by 'Tianmu Zhenjun'.]

Devour... The arrow in his hand turned into powder and scattered, disappearing.

Yang Jian opened the talent system to check.

[Talent: Devour (Orange)]

[Description: Devour an orange or lower-grade equipment not exceeding your level, inheriting all of the equipment's attributes, infinitely stackable.]

[Cooling Down: Remaining Time: 59:55]

[Upgrade Condition: 2 / 50 (Only orange equipment counts towards upgrade condition)]

[Current Devoured Attributes: Strength +32870, Agility +39170, Stamina +33020, Intelligence +4290, Attack +19530, Defense +24070... True Damage +1000, Additional Damage to Abyss +1000]

[Skill: Deception]

Beautiful!

Golden talent was within reach.

He chatted with Zhou Yue, Bai Youyou, and a few others for a while, reporting his safety.

He told them not to rush back.

Yang Jian had to set off again immediately to buy all the materials and then forge 48 Falling Star Arrows in one go... to push his talent to golden.

Then, with the golden Devour Spirit Body, he would go trouble the Abyssal Monsters!

Perfect...
