(7) Businessmen who rebel against nightmares

This guy quietly appeared in front of Dangma and Dongdong, and said in a greeting tone.

"I have this cat."

"Meow~"

The cat, which was honestly nested in Xiao Maoyu's arms just now, immediately jumped out of her arms after this person appeared, and pounced on the person's feet and rubbed affectionately, and it was indeed a cat that was raised.

"Ah~ the kitten ran away."

Little Mao Yu let out a disappointed cry, and then she chased the cat to the visitor, crouched down and tried to pick the kitten up again.

But she didn't take a few steps before she was dragged back by Shangjo Dangma, and when Mahjong blocked her behind her, she watched vigilantly at the people who came inside.

This young man has extremely bad red hair, emerald eyes flashing with a confident luster, although the skin is very white, but there is no sissy in appearance, but full of sunny and handsome feeling, coupled with the other party's burly and sturdy figure, although it feels a little vicious, but it is better than the shape of the passer-by A and B C in Dangma, I don't know how much.

People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and this person's equipment is also not of the same grade as when hemp.

This person is wearing an iron cuirass with shoulder pads on the upper body, and the lower body seems to be equipped with a leather battle coat for ease of movement, and he is not wearing the "MineCraftOL" default infinite durability slippers without any bonuses, but a pair of shiny iron-encrusted boots.

In 'MineCraftOL', iron items are a symbol of high-quality players, and ordinary players are reluctant to use iron ore even if they dig up, but choose more affordable stone tools, and only players who often go to high-risk areas where they can harvest high-quality materials will use equipment made from high-quality materials, because they are sure that the value of the materials they get from each adventure will make up for the consumption of the adventure.

However, if this is the case, players will definitely not cherish their ore anymore, and it must be how safe and how to come.

And what really makes Dangma vigilant is the thing hanging from this guy's waist, which is a leather sheath that allows players to quickly take out the weapon, only players who often fight will synthesize this prop, and the weapon placed in the sheath is a broad sword, which seems to be iron from the outside, but as a miner, Dangma can be absolutely guaranteed...... The material of this thing is definitely not iron!

Such a high-level player in full gear appeared in front of him quietly, and Ma felt that it was better to be careful.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Don't be so nervous, I have no ill intentions. ”

As if he saw that Shangjo Dangma was wary of himself, the red-haired boy smiled kindly, bent down and picked up the kitten and put it on his head, and then spread his hands at Dangma, indicating that he was completely harmless.

"I'm the same as you, the one who didn't sign that hellish contract, according to that guy, it's a brave toy."

'Someone like me? In that case, you should be able to trust it, right? ’

After hearing the other party's words, when Ma relaxed his guard a little, but he was still very nervous.

"How did you show up? Why didn't I see you? ”

"This one...... It's just a normal stealth, and anyone with a little training can do it. ”

"What? Sneak? That was stealth just now? How is this possible? ”

After hearing the other party's answer, when Ma looked incredulous.

The action of stealth is actually the action of letting yourself walk without a sound, and this is a basic action, and it is impossible to have the same effect as invisibility.

"I don't believe it. It seems that I need to explain to you, this game is very well built with the mannequins, and even the blind spots in the human field of vision are simulated, if you can use this blind spot to move. ”

As he spoke, he saw the red-haired guy suddenly disappear from his eyes.

"Hey, hey! That's unscientific, isn't it? How could it be ......"

Just when Ma was surprised, Xiao Maoyu behind him suddenly let out a cheering sound.

"Kitten! Kitten! ~\(≧▽≦)/~”

"Nothing is impossible, the degree of freedom of this game is far greater than I imagined, and it is worthy of the virtual version of 'MineCraft' that claims to be the main body of MOD and has unlimited degrees of freedom."

Shangjo when Ma found that the red-haired boy came behind him at some point, and was smiling and putting the kitten in his hand in Dongdong's arms, this little guy was naturally very happy.

"Introduce yourself. My name is Ice Hunt, and I don't know anything about gathering, but I'm very good at fighting and exploring, and now I'm a wandering merchant. ”

"I'm a miner, but I'm unlucky, and I rarely dig anything other than rocks."

After talking about himself, when Ma pointed to Xiao Maoyu who was playing with the kitten.

"Her name is Bo Li Dong Dong...... She may have some mental problems, but she is a child who needs to be taken care of. ”

"What's her relationship with you? Your sister? Friend? Or lovers? ”

"Ahem...... How could it be! We've only known each other for a few days! It's just that I can't leave this guy alone. ”

"Really? In this precarious environment, there is still a heart to take care of others...... What a rotten good guy. ”

An approving look appeared on Ice Hunt's face, and then it turned into some kind of hatred.

"You're not at all the same level as those depraved guys. Because I feel that there is no hope, the guys who have thrown away all their humanity, after all, not everyone can control the evil thoughts in their hearts in this situation. ”

"That...... Have you met any other players? Where are they? Can you take me there? ”

When Ma asked eagerly, in his opinion, if he could merge with the player group, then he could increase the chances of survival.

"I advise you to discard this thought. In the future, when you meet other players, it's best not to show up before you are sure of the other person's attitude, otherwise something will happen that you will never expect. ”

"Why do you say that? After all, at this time, it's not okay for everyone to be unified, right? ”

"NaΓ―ve...... Never mind. All you have to do is remember me. It's very important to be at least wary of other players, just like you did to me at the beginning. Trust me, there are a lot of villains here who make a living by plundering other players' materials. ”

As he spoke, Ice Hunt asked, pointing to the shelter where Dangma was in the air.

"It's getting late. Can I spend the night at your location? ”

"Ahh Please! Judging from the other party's behavior, when Ma didn't think that this was a wicked person, he agreed very generously.

Kamijo Danma has no architectural talent, so this shelter is more like a stone coffin, in order to save torches, Danma did not arrange a light source in it, but today because there are guests, so Kamijo Danma gritted his teeth and inserted a torch in the center of the room.

Entertaining guests in such a room, the young man couldn't help but blush a little, but Ice Hunt, who was sitting on the side, didn't care about this at all.

"It's okay! It's okay! I've seen even worse rooms while wandering! ”

Ice Hunter waved his hand nonchalantly, then looked at the only piece of furniture in the shelter...... Stone Furnace.

"I once lived in the home of a planter who didn't have enough rocks, so he had to dig a hole in the ground to live in, and it was very uncomfortable to live in that room. Your house made of stone is a mansion in his eyes. ”

"Are there a lot of players around? Where are they all? ”

Hearing his words, Dangma was very surprised and asked, if there are players who have been in contact with the other party, then they should be able to trust, right?

"I can't answer this question, I promised to keep their location secret, because if it leaks out, it may be targeted by villains who only want to plunder others, and of course I will keep your location a secret."

"That's right...... Wouldn't it be dangerous if you wandered alone? How about you stay here? ”

Suddenly, when Ma asked such a sentence very cluelessly, but soon he discovered his superficiality, the other party's equipment, wandering in the wild is probably safer than his own room.

After hearing this, Bing Hunt was stunned for a moment and then looked at Dang Ma's face with scrutinizing eyes, he didn't see any superfluous calculations on this face, so Bing Hunt patted the sword on his waist and said confidently.

"yes. It's dangerous...... But I can still handle it. If I had stayed in one place for safety, I might have signed the slave agreement. ”

"And if no one stepped up and moved around, a lot of players would have a hard time, right? After all, they just want to live, not to be brave. ”

"For example, in your current situation...... When Brother Ma, you don't have much wood on your body, right? Bing Hunt asked with a smile.

"A normal MineCraftOL player would have at least one crafting table and a furnace in their residence, but you don't seem to have a crafting table here at all, right? You're so short of wood that you don't need to build a crafting table. ”

"Because there was no reserve in the secondary forest area before, who knew that this area was all grassland, and there was not a single tree. Even if you want to go back, you can't tell the direction of the secondary forest...... Unfortunately. ”

Kamijo replied with a sad face.

"Looks like I'm here at the right time."

"What?"

"I said that at the beginning, right? I'm a businessman. ”

With that, Ice Hunter set the library to a partial display state, when Ma saw that there were at least sixteen sets of logs in his library.

"I'm a merchant, and I'm a merchant who swaps the limited resources in the hands of players who are afraid to run around because they're scared to run around for the ones they desperately need, and if no one does that, those helpless guys will have an accident sooner or later because of the lack of resources."

"That's ...... It's amazing! How do I get wood from you? What materials do you need? ”

This situation made Dangma overjoyed, he had been looking forward to the wood all this time, and now the wood finally came.

"The material I need most now is crop seeds, of course, as a miner, you must have a lot of stones on your body, right? This is a very popular material, because there are no miner players, many people have degraded from the Stone Age to the Wood Age, after all, in addition to open-pit stone mines, cobblestone can only be mined from dangerous underground. ”

"Cobblestone? I've got a lot of cobblestone! I didn't get any decent ore in mining before! Except that stones are stones! ”

When Ma Jun, who had zero business knowledge, didn't notice it at all, after he said this, a gleam flashed in the eyes of Bing Hunt on the other side.

Although Ice Hunter is a good guy and a brave man who risks his life to bring much-needed materials to players, he is a businessman!

Since ancient times, there is no traitor and no business, and the saying that no business is not a joke, is it really okay to put on a 'stupid, rich, and fast' virtue in front of a businessman?

Dang Majun, who had been dazzled by the wood that was in dire need, didn't think about it at all.

"So...... Brother Ma, how many sets of stones do you have here? ”

Because I feel that I have to make money this time, the tone of Ice Hunt is extraordinarily enthusiastic.

"I've got thirty sets of stones here!"

'What a staggering amount, you don't mine down there, you're just busy digging for stones?' ’

The well-informed merchant boy also had a stiff expression at the moment, what kind of luck could make a miner have so many stones on him, and Ice Hunter almost because this product was a merchant like him and he was a stone seller.

"So, how about one set of logs for four sets of stones?"

If Ma could maintain the least sobriety now, he would be very surprised to find that the upper half of the face of the amiable businessman boy opposite was completely blackened, and he obviously had a posture of sharpening his knife and facing the fat sheep!

Ice Hunt still withheld some information from Dangma, such as how scared the players were of death.

Miners have the highest mortality rate in MineCraft, and it is said that on average one miner dies every ten minutes on a MineCraft server with about 200 people.

Beaten to death by the dense monsters in the dark underground caves, accidentally dug up the tiptoe stones when digging the canyon veins, fell to death directly, was washed into the ditch by the current and drowned, fell into the magma and burned to death, etc., etc.~ It can be said to be the most abundant way to die......

As a result, many timid players gave up their miner careers in favor of other jobs, which directly led to a plummeting production of the originally basic material 'Cobblestone', and a huge demand gap.

Although the cost of wood alone is far greater than that of cobblestone, it is much faster to obtain wood than cobblestone.

In fact, when Ice Hunter first appeared, he was eyeing the 'mansion' made of stones of the Kamijo family, do you think the front teeth will talk nonsense everywhere? 【Chest Lift】

In some places where there is no open-pit mine, one set of stone can be exchanged for four sets of wood! Bing Hunt himself felt that this exchange ratio was really a bit excessive, and he just wanted to open his mouth to change the ratio, but who knew that Dangma would clap his hands without hesitation.

"Great! That's it! Bring me seven sets of wood! ”

"Good! Be a brother Ma, you are refreshing! ”

'Good! Since you want to be stabbed yourself, then don't blame me for being rude! ’

The barter deal was quickly completed, and both parties were happy, with Ma being given much-needed wood and Ice Hunt being given a staggering amount of stone.

With such a good start, Ice Hunt and Dangma completed several exchanges again.

These include the exchange of wool for wheat and the exchange of wheat seeds for cocoa beans.

Ice Hunter is a merchant who values his time, so at dawn the next day, he is ready to leave here.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Kitten. ”

Xiao Maoyu reluctantly stared at the cat who was lying on Bing Hunt's head and washing her face with her paws, she had been playing with the cat and she didn't participate in the conversation between Bing Hunt and Dangma at all, and Bing Hunt seemed to deliberately ignore Xiao Maoyu's existence, and she didn't ask anything more from beginning to end.

"Brother Ma, you can save some of this wood, and I don't know when we will meet next time."

Before leaving, Ice Hunter seemed to have something in mind.

"Walking all the way from here, you will come across an abandoned hut, and although there are no more supplies left in the house, the room is still preserved and you can move there. And not far from that abandoned house, there's an NPC village that you can trade for some resources, but the variety may be a bit smaller. ”

"Thank you! Ice Hunt ...... You've got a lot of information. ”

"Don't forget what I do...... I'm leaving. Good luck. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You too. ”
