Chapter 223 – The No.1 Debtor (2/2)

“A thousand?!” Everyone was speechless. While the current average mastery of the Blacksmiths' Digging skill had been greatly increased, an Advanced ore like Mystical Gold Ore was still rarely seen. This brat just opened his mouth and asked for a thousand? Is he joking?

“Don’t look at me like that. I want to craft a piece of equipment that requires at least a thousand Mystical Gold Ores. Don’t just stand there. Hurry and rally everything from your storage, I’m in urgent need for them,” Fatty instantly yelped and explained when he noticed everyone’s queer gazes.

“What the heck? What kind of equipment requires that many materials?” Jiangdong’s LittleOverlord didn’t know what else to say. He told his members to check the guild storage, then announced, “I have around two hundred here.”

“I have over a hundred.”

“Ahh, I have quite a lot of this one, three hundred.”

“Mmm, only over six hundred. We need over three hundred more,” Fatty estimated and concluded.

“I have just over three hundred here.” After a little 'reminder' from Purple Bell, Wind God’s World finally reported his stock.

“OK, that should be enough. How much for one according to the market price? Fatty snapped his fingers. “By the way, anyone has Dragon Tendons? I don’t need too many, several dozen is enough.”

“Dragon Tendons…” Everybody was speechless again. What kind of equipment is that? Every material is more precious than the last.

“Forget it, you guys don’t look like you have it anyway. Just gather the ores for me, I’m pressed for time.” Since they were all close acquaintances, Fatty didn’t act courteously.

Aside from the Ice Rose Alliance who stored their ores in their base storage, the other guilds all placed their ores in the bank. After giving Fatty the ores, Jiangdong’s LittleOverlord said, “Fatty, just what are you making? When it’s ready, don’t forget to let us play with it.”

“Hehe, rest assured! It’ll definitely leave y’all gobsmacked.”

Stowing the ores in his storage, Fatty calculated the gold coins according to the market price. Each Mystical Gold Ores cost 5,000 gold coins, so that’d be five million for a thousand. Ignorance was bliss, but when he had to calculate it, Fatty nearly fainted in fright. It’s a mere ballista!! But one material alone is already eating that much money!!

“Your mother!! If this ballista doesn’t work out, Lord Fatty shall report Fantasia!!” wailed Fatty. This thing isn’t made from ores, it’s made of gold coins!

Fatty couldn’t take out that much gold coins at the moment, so he could only… credit it. At the same time, he also emptied the several guilds’ Cold Iron Ore stocks, which would be another payout.

1000 Mystical Gold Ores, 80 Cold Iron Ores, plus 100,000 gold coins shipping fee for the Ice Rose players; Fatty had to pay 5,900,000 gold coins in total. He paid 900,000 and wrote 5,000,000 in his debt.

“Very formidable!” East Gate BlowingWind praised. “I don’t know if you’re the richest in the game, but I’m pretty sure the number one debtor is you.”

“Don’t look down on Lord Fatty, this is only an investment. Wait until Lord Fatty gets my equipment, I’ll come back and crush you lot to death with gold coins,” roared Fatty. Then, he replenished his supplies and rushed out of the Imperial Capital with a stomach full of bitterness. Setting the coordinates he got from Libya as his destination, Fatty went to seek trouble with the Earth Dragons.

Hundreds of miles to the south of the Imperial Capital, there was a valley where the Earth Dragon clan inhabited.

The Earth Dragon was the lowest ranked of the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Blood running in their vessels were so minuscule that they weren’t even considered members of the Dragon Clan. However, the ‘dragon’ in its name indicated how powerful they were. Nearly every member of the Earth Dragon clan was a high-rank monster. Rumors were that the Earth Dragon Chief was also a Celestial boss that was already one step into the God realm.

“This is an Earth Dragon?” Gawking at the ugly huge creature in front of him, Fatty could hear the sound of the image of dragons in his heart shattering.

You’re an Earth Dragon. No matter how diluted your blood is, you can’t just let yourself go and give up on your body like this!

The creature was roughly eight meters tall, with a tail longer than ten meters. Its skin was dirt-yellow, and it looked thick and fat. The body was massive with four strong limbs supporting it. Overall, the Earth Dragon looked quite mighty despite its seemingly dirty appearance.

“Come ’ere, let Doctor Fatty give you a check.” Fatty quickly constructed several traps and ordered Wheat to pull the monster.

BOOM! The Earth Dragon’s steps were simply quaking. With only a nudge from the massive creature, Wheat’s huge body was flung up in the air, then violently dropped.

Whew whew! Inky quickly healed Wheat. The two pets had developed a pretty tight cooperation.

Whoosh. A trap was activated. An ivy tendril the size of an adult’s arm climbed up the Earth Dragon’s body. However, when the tendril coiled, the Earth Dragon instantly snapped it and rendered the trap completely ineffective.

Creak… The second trap successfully proc’d and temporarily ice-froze the monster.

“Raaaarrgh! The Earth Dragon roared thunderously. With a series of creaking, ruptures started to emerge on the ice covering its body. The ice was on the verge of shattering.

Ambush!

Fatty had Stealthed toward the monster. With a lash of his sword, Ambush struck its target. The Earth Dragon’s roaring abruptly stopped as a dizzy mark appeared above its head.

Successfully stunning the monster, Fatty took out the Brutal Saddle without hesitation. Then, he leaped onto its back.

“Great! Just when I’m lacking a mount. Life’s been unbearable without one.”
