Chapter 45
Chen Yaogang pulled on his skirt armor, and the blood marks on his body gradually faded away. He bent down with a slightly impatient expression and picked it up: "You know that I was taking a shower and you kicked in the door, can't you feel a little ashamed?"
While Chen Yaogang was packing up the gem, Shana picked up the one closest to her and gradually frowned slightly.
A strange squirming feeling rose in her throat, and she subconsciously wanted to ask Chen Yaogang what this was.
But when she opened her mouth, she let out a scream that made her even shocked.
“Moo~”
Shana covered her mouth, and Kona let go of her hand and looked confused, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
Chen Yaogang raised his arms expressionlessly and slapped the gem back from Shana's hand: "Don't touch things that are not yours."
Shana stroked the red mark on her wrist and shook her hand in pain. Even if Chen Yaogang had no intention of maliciously attacking her, she had to admit that the savage slap was much more painful than she thought: "Shame? I have never seen a bath that can make a bathtub blow up. If you hadn't just screamed inside, I wouldn't have come in... This is the magic gem?"
Chen Yaogang put the gem into the package, tied a strap and stuffed it behind him: "So what? What I found is mine."
Shana felt a little headache, but she believed that Chen Yaogang was not the kind of unreasonable evil person, so she had to express her needs calmly: "The battle situation is critical now, and the current manpower and materials are not enough. If you are willing to contribute them, maybe we can use the power of these gems to change the situation."
Chen Yaogang glanced at Shana and looked at Kou Na beside her. He sloppyly tied his hair and brushed his beard to both sides: "Mercenaries are for the sake of rewards. You can offer me a price, but never expect a worthless plea to make me work. I didn't even bother with you, so don't go too far with these things."
Shana looked at Chen Yaogang, and suddenly she realized that she did not understand the mysterious preferences of the barbarian. He was not like those homeless men who could carry their heads to do business in order to have a night with some women. He was not like those cheap mercenaries who licked blood at the edge of the knife and would betray at any time for money and interests.
Shana sometimes thinks of Chen Yaogang and thinks he is the kind of person who is righteous and righteous. If he was an imperialist, he might be a loyal and trustworthy knight or warrior. But the reality is that Chen Yaogang has many secrets hidden in him. He is a druid, and he is very different from ordinary barbarians' behavior.
When Chen Yaogang and two strange men came to Roger to watch, Alera learned that he was related to Menata after meeting him, which made Shana unable to understand his position.
Shana clenched her fists and looked at Chen Yaogang: "What do you want?"
Chen Yaogang simply and clearly threw out his core needs: "Runes, potions, stone guards, enchanted ink, magic seeds and other items are fine. Barbarian items such as war pattern paint, bone teeth necklaces, rare magic weapons such as storage rings, storage bags, etc. In short, you can take out the good things directly for me to choose, and we can trade fairly."
When Shana heard Chen Yaogang's demand report, her expression twitched: "You are really good at choosing. If we had enough runes, we would have used our own special equipment to fight against the demons. Props with space storage ability are extremely precious. We don't even have a few pieces ourselves, so how could we give you extra!"
Chen Yaogang tied his leggings and wrist guards, picked up the wooden boards scattered all over the floor, summoned vines, and restored the boards to the shape of a bathtub: "I'm not interested in ordinary items. If you can only fool me with the bounty on the bulletin board, then we can't trade in a friendly manner."
Kou Na looked at Chen Yaogang in disbelief. She never knew Chen Yaogang had such a side: "But if we can't keep Roger's watch, where else can we go? We really need help now, why don't you want to help us?"
Chen Yaogang smiled slightly sarcastically: "Kou Na, you are a kind-hearted girl, but please remember what I said, if you always change your original path because of the words "I beg you" and are willing to work hard for anyone, then one day, you will definitely be killed by others."
"Nothing in this world is free, and anyone needs to pay for any labor behavior. Friends are mutually beneficial. Giving each other personal favors is very good for everyone. Don't blame me for being too straightforward. If you keep taking advantage of your friends for nothing and thinking that they are friends, you can make any requests. This relationship between friends will sooner or later be over."
Shana looked at Chen Yaogang: "The final right to explain the reward mission lies with me. What if I modify the reward mission and ask you to hand over all the gems?"
Chen Yaogang said with a smile: "You can change it even if you want to. You can even post some more interesting rewards on the notice board. Just say you are the Queen of the West and your territory has been captured by the enemy. You want to spend a copper coin to find someone to help you regain the royal power. When you become the queen again, you will compensate others."
"Haha, I have the ability to help you build your territory, why don't you kick yourself away as a lord? If you want magical gems, why don't you organize people to find the underground palace by yourself? I hope that the things I get from taking my life are rewarded, but you want me to donate them in one sentence. No matter whether you succeed in studying magical gems, these gems have become your things... Wow, I gave a teleportation scroll that was invalid if it was stained with blood. If I really died in the underground palace, who remembers that I have this person?"
Shana sighed. She really underestimated Chen Yaogang's business mind. No wonder he would hang out with strange men like Kidman.
Regardless of what materials Chen Yaogang wants, whether to hunt demons or do other things, he obviously doesn't like other people's intervention in his purpose.
That is to say, Chen Yaogang actually didn't agree with Roger Warning at all. He just needed a temporary shelter to agree to help. Roger Warning did not handle it too well, because Shana knew that she could not care about the emotions and needs of so many people. She was really just trying to find someone to help hunt the demons in the monastery.
Shana did not care whether others had a family or not, but only women could allow them to enter the city, and all men would kick them out of the city. Now she lacked manpower and brought them back to remedy it. After repeated struggles, not to mention that Chen Yaogang's attitude was different, in the eyes of outsiders, the reputation of Roger Shouwang and the nun of the heart are getting worse and worse.
No one wants to be used for nothing. Only you need to regain the monastery and lost territory. Do you need to deal with the zombies crawling around in other people's farmland?
It was not enough that Shana changed it once. It has always been this kind of virtue of "the king cheated the brave and saved the princess for life", but it still stepped on Chen Yaogang's minefield.
I gave Wang Guan because Chen Yaogang didn't want the world line to change abnormally. It was very offensive to say that it was a very offensive person, but to draw a clear line in advance, at least it could avoid turning against one another.
Koona wanted to defend something, but Shana raised her hand to stop her: "Okay, this is wrong with me. I shouldn't have been asking for all kinds of things for free. I should also understand your difficulties. Fortunately, you have suffered from the matter of King Adan, but we still have many tasks to be carried out. If you are still willing to help, you can find me at any time."
"It will take some time for Kona to repair your armor. There should be a lot of enchanting ink left. I will try to let Alera help you collect what you want. But we are very nervous now. Can you give me a magic gem in advance? If today and tomorrow, the investigation and research progress will be delayed longer and longer, it will be a matter of time before the demon passes the test of the full-view hall... You don't want all our actions and even our thoughts to be exposed to the demon's vision, right?"
Chen Yaogang picked out a magic gem and threw it in a small bag of gold coins. The two scholars of Heratim were very useful, just see what they could find: "You have to take this yourself, and you will bear the consequences. Those gold coins are the medical expenses paid by my two brothers, please collect them."
Looking at Shana's suspicious appearance, Chen Yaogang could only smile sarcastically, "Don't worry, this one won't let you learn from the ox."
Seeing that Chen Yaogang seemed to understand the magic gem a little, Shana wanted to speak but stopped. After explaining the task to Kou Na, she left quickly without being very natural.
【Flea Gem】: Strange, you feel itchy from time to time! Increase the movement speed by up to 45% and the dodge ability by up to 15%.
A small intrusion farce ended quietly with the sound of wrought iron.
Kou Na doesn't look as enthusiastic as before, which makes Chen Yaogang feel much more relaxed.
Born in this world, it is a good thing to let Kou Na realize reality. Born as a human being, thinking is also a prerequisite for action. If Kou Na is too naive and cannot even deal with a few gangsters who deliberately harass the business of a blacksmith shop, and she will be depressed and collapsed at any time and cannot pass the test of the full vision hall. How can she create equipment exclusively for "heart-eye" series?
Growing up of mood may bring pain, but if Kou Na is destined to be just an ordinary blacksmith, Chen Yaogang will never waste time on her.
The Heart-Eye series equipment is very necessary. Only when Kou Na can create Heart-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye-Eye
Shana couldn't afford to wait, and Chen Yaogang couldn't afford to wait either.
If this battle is lost, everyone will die.
The expansion pack is destroyed, and the game world is closed by the defeated area. Players use the original character to select the server and start over. Chen Yaogang really can't take this risk.
Back at the mansion, Chen Yaogang picked up a large room and fell asleep on the relatively soft big bed.
The next day, Leoke and Kolido were still recovering from their injuries, but Kona sent back the brand new armor.
Chen Yaogang looked at it seriously, Kou Na's eyes were still a little red. I wonder if it was because of the lack of thoughts, and he hid in his heart and cried in disgrace.
However, seeing Kou Na’s appearance today, Chen Yaogang knew that she had walked out of her soft and fragile fantasy and accepted the cruel and helpless reality.
Kou Na gave the armor protection oil and gave Chen Yaogang a pack of repair powder: "The two scholars were busy until they haven't slept overnight. They are so powerful that they have actually developed a method to use magic gems to supply energy and drive the crown to teleport. This can of oil is for you, and if you encounter corrosive monsters again, it can come in handy."
[Magic Repair Powder]: The shiny tiny metal debris seems to have a certain degree of magnetic properties. Spread it directly and you can immediately obtain 10 layers of armor protection. Each layer of armor protection can automatically offset 1 layer of acid corrosion, corrosion, and corrosion abnormal state.
Well, the liver-type scholar is indeed quite strong. As long as the talent and ability are not too poor, the liver emperor is just strong.
Chen Yaogang buckled his shoulder pads, pulled his armour and wrist guards, and casually tied up his leather belt: "Wow, then you have to protect the scholars. It is difficult to find a substitute for the same level of knowledge. There are more idiots and idiots. Unlike me who are purely engaged in hard work, one dies and the next one will die."
Koona tilted her eyebrows and raised her hand calmly: "Hey, I thought you had a good review of my forging technology. You suffered much less injuries this time than last time. My armor also has some effect, right?"
Chen Yaogang smiled bitterly in his heart: I can't stand the enemy being too fierce! It's okay for ordinary monsters to say, but I'm standing in front of the boss, this barbarian blood bar seems to be fake!
Fortunately, I got a passive rune of Brother Chun this time, otherwise I would have fought against the experts in another world with one life and encountered multiple dark gold combination monsters, and the blood strips disappeared and melted instantly was not just a saying.
"It's okay, don't forget my order. I need at least 3 sets of armor of the same quality." Chen Yaogang did not make any comments.
Kou Na saw that Chen Yaogang was not paying attention to this aspect, so she did not forcefully mention her little thoughts: "I re-optimized the design drawings and production processes, and now I can do one in half a day. Also, don't be so fierce to Shana. She is so anxious that she is also considering Roger's watch. If you have any questions, sit down and chat."
Chen Yaogang looked calm and composed: "Sorry, my attitude was very bad before, but I don't like someone breaking in and disturbing me when doing private things. Just like you caught Kidman in the bathhouse, anyone will be annoyed by being molested and peeped."
Kou Na sighed relieved when she saw Chen Yaogang not taking it to her heart: "Okay, we've gotten even with the matter before. By the way, we bought the magic gem. If you want to sell other magic gems, just tell Alera directly, she will hand over the enchanted ink and some things to you."
"In addition, the nuns are trying to use the power of the crown to open a one-way teleport node to Sostem. Shana intends to hand over the crown to you after the teleport node is stable, so that you and others can establish a return node after the teleportation has been transmitted to form material interoperability. However, the danger of this task is that no one knows the current situation in Sostem City. We believe that other mercenaries are not trusted. Although you are a little stingy, Shana thinks you are still trustworthy."
Chen Yaogang took the bounty scroll and glanced at it, and then he realized his mind. He had developed and advanced beyond the timeline, and rushed to kill King Adan and Night Crow in advance before the protagonist appeared. So Sostam City may be under the control of the Bloody Eagle, or in chaos among the thief union and major mercenary groups.
As the Western Frontier City of the Lion Empire, Sostem is no better than Roger's Watch. Its diversity and chaos index are far superior to the matriarchal society of the Roger sisters and the nuns of the mind. No matter which mission line it is, Sostem is a place to pay attention to. Chen Yaogang is not so stupid that he thinks he is traveling on public funds.
Chen Yaogang thought to himself: I don’t know what happened to that guy Langdon. If he could turn his sheriff’s brother to Roger’s watch, it would be able to greatly alleviate the situation of the homeless man causing trouble.
As for how to deal with the troubles of the thief union, Chen Yaogang has no good idea. He must have a good chat with One-eyed Kaila to determine what to do next.
