"Thank you, young brave man, to express my gratitude to you, I have here a piece of equipment that I got when I was young, I hope it will help you!"

Back in the village, Li Xiaotian handed over twenty pieces of red-eyed hare's fur to the village chief of Leo, the other party frowned and slowly unfolded, happily took the fur, took out a piece of equipment casually, and handed it to Li Xiaotian.

"Young brave, the wolves in the back mountains are about to move recently, and for the safety of the village, the blacksmith in the village, Jacka, seems to be asking for help everywhere!"

Just as Li Xiaotian was about to leave, the village chief of Leo sent out a mission prompt, and Li Xiaotian gladly accepted the latter's mission and went to a stone building on the north side of the village.

"Is it Mr. Jecca, the blacksmith? I was sent by the village chief to assist you, what do you need help with? ”

Walking into the stone house, the walls on both sides of the room are filled with various weapons and armor, and in the hall behind is a huge stove burning red, and a burly man is using a giant hammer to forge a knife-shaped instrument, and small sparks are splattering around.

"Oh! It turned out to be a young brave man introduced by the village chief, I was worried about the ore thing, you came just in time! Would you like to go to the mines south of the village and dig some black iron ore for me? ”

Bite~!

Quest Tip: In order to wipe out the wolves outside the village, Jeka Blacksmith is preparing to forge a batch of weapons, and needs fifty pieces of black iron ore of decent purity, which you can dig in the mine south of the village!

After accepting the task, the blacksmith Jeka handed over a black mine hoe, and Li Xiaotian looked at it with an identification technique.

Jeka's Mine Hoe (Quest Item)

How to use: Equip in the weapon slot. Dig the veins inside the cavern and have a good chance of getting the ore you need!

…………

Leaving the blacksmith shop, several players on the gravel path were already rushing towards Li Xiaotian, seeing that he had already walked out of the blacksmith shop, looking each other up and down one by one, until Li Xiaotian's figure disappeared at the exit on the south side of the village, and then they thoughtfully walked into the blacksmith shop.

"Boss, this person arrived here earlier than us, and the equipment on his body is not the same as other ordinary players, not only has weapons, but also the bracers on his hands are different from those sold in the tailor shop, could it be that the elite of which big guild is randomly assigned to our novice village!"

In the blacksmith shop, a young man with a thin jaw and a mustache walked up to a figure with an evil face, looked at Li Xiaotian who disappeared outside the village, and said in a respectful tone to the person in front of him.

"Hmm~! It's also possible! This time "Firmament" opened, I heard that many large guilds of other games have entered it, and there are not a few gold mining studios, and there are probably many people who have the same purpose as us, so don't take it lightly! ”

Regarding the words of the younger brother, Qin Bufan nodded undeniably, as the second-in-command of the former conquest of the world, he naturally knew a lot of unknown secrets, so he led the guild into the "Firmament" early to prepare for the things planned in the future.

……………………

Li Xiaotian naturally didn't know that one of his company's retired security guards was regarded as the elite of the online game guild, so he came to the mine cave in the south of the village by himself, and never found a vein that could be mined until he walked inward for nearly thirty or forty meters.

Wow..................

The hard rock made a strange noise under the digging of the hoe, and the gray-brown powder gradually peeled off, revealing a deep black outline inside.

Bite~!

Quest Tip: You have a 11 quality Black Iron Stone!

Inside the backpack, a fist-sized dark stone appeared, Li Xiaotian saw that the quality was marked as 11, and the excavation was more vigorous at the moment, and for a while, only the sound of clanging hoes digging rocks remained in the mine.

……………

Bite~!

Quest Tip: You get a 24 quality Black Iron Ore!

After half an hour of excavation, Li Xiaotian finally completed the mining of fifty pieces of black iron ore, and the quality of the last piece was even more amazing.24 Satisfied, he put away the black ore hoe and left the mine.

"Thank you! Young warrior, with these high-quality black iron ores, I will definitely be able to forge excellent weapons! As a reward for this mission, you can choose one of the following weapons! ”

A few minutes later, Li Xiaotian handed over the black iron stone and the mine hoe to the blacksmith Jeka, who smiled with satisfaction and took down three weapons from the weapon rack behind him, and let Li Xiaotian, who had completed the task, choose by himself.

Sword of Ferro (Normal-Longsword)

Attack: 2-4

Level: 2

Durability: 100/100

……

Lukaz's Sword (Normal-Longsword)

Attack: 2-4

Level: 2

Durability: 100/100

……

Scorching Sword (Normal-Longsword)

Attack: 1-2

Level: 1

Incidental Skill: Burn - Attacks have a chance to trigger the effect of Flame Burn, and the target is forced to deduct one health per second, ignoring defense! Duration: 5 seconds! Stackable!

Durability: 100/100

………

There is almost no difference in the attributes of the first two long swords, only the third long sword is slightly different, and the attack power is the same as the wooden sword in his hand, but the back actually comes with a burning skill, and it can be superimposed, which can be said to be an anti-heaven existence in the novice village! Li Xiaotian did not hesitate to choose the third [Burning Sword].

What Li Xiaotian didn't know was that the appearance of the [Scorching Sword] was entirely due to the high quality of the black iron ore he brought back, which triggered the hiding mechanism, and the blacksmith Jacka would temporarily add it to the task reward, otherwise the reward for digging black iron ore is generally only available to players who complete the task with the first two weapons, and there will never be a [Scorching Sword].

Moreover, the [Scorching Sword] selected by Li Xiaotian at this moment is unique, after the player who first triggers the condition receives it, even if other players mine high-quality black iron ore again and hand it over to the blacksmith Jeka, it will not appear in the selection of task rewards.
