Zhou Yan clicked confirm, but the other party then asked: "We're already friends, why don't you even reveal your personal information? Is there any trust between people anymore?"
"We only do transactions, no other talk." Zhou Yan replied.
"Alright, alright, friendships all start with one transaction after another."
The other party's personality was very optimistic and didn't get upset by Zhou Yan's coldness.
Afterward, Zhou Yan put up 99 Black Iron equipment pieces and 99 Bronze equipment pieces.
[Lone Sea One Knife] clearly froze for a moment, rubbed his titanium alloy eyes, and looked again!
Holy cow!
So much equipment!
He was stunned.
Could this really be the person who had transferred to become an Artifact Forger?
[Lone Sea One Knife] was clearly very excited internally.
"Are you that first big boss to transfer professions?"
"Did you transfer to become an Artifact Forger?"
"Is this equipment you forged?"
......
[Lone Sea One Knife] fired off questions like a curious baby.
"Do you still want the equipment or not? If not, I'll find someone else."
Saying this, Zhou Yan terminated the transaction, clearly the other party talked too much.
"Big Brother!"
"Boss!"
"Grandpa!"
"I was wrong, I won't dare again. I know bosses are mysterious. Give me another chance, I won't ask any more questions."
[Lone Sea One Knife] sent countless messages, making Zhou Yan dumbfounded.
So, this guy was a neurotic, chatterbox, chuunibyou youth.
The other party immediately filled in two million spirit coins.
Zhou Yan: "(￣ー￣)"
"You gave too much," Zhou Yan said.
"That's for my apology. I hope the big boss is magnanimous and doesn't hold it against me."
[Lone Sea One Knife] quickly replied.
It seemed he wasn't short of money.
"It's one million five hundred eighty-four thousand in total. Not a cent more, not a cent less. If you don't want to trade, we'll cancel."
He wasn't going to be greedy for such a small profit. He was already worth tens of millions now, no need for someone else's hundreds of thousands.
"Yes, yes, yes. Whatever the big boss says goes."
[Lone Sea One Knife] was afraid he would cancel the transaction and quickly changed the number.
[Spirit Coins +1568160]
A transaction of over a million was completed, but the handling fee was indeed substantial, deducting 15840 spirit coins.
Fortunately, he had a little bit of money now, otherwise, he would be heartbroken.
He didn't sell all the equipment to one person at once. Instead, he sold it to several people separately and added them as friends. One of them appeared to be a woman, with the territory name [Ice Freezing Three Feet]. As her name suggested, judging from the chat, she only talked about transactions and had no extra words.
He agreed with this point.
He gave the price, and she readily accepted. Both sides cooperated happily.
The next few people were also genuine traders, and they quickly completed their transactions.
They all added each other as friends, but Zhou Yan still didn't reveal any of his information. He also stated that if he found out they resold this equipment to others, they would never be able to trade with him again.
They all said that their own equipment was not enough, so how could they sell it? They all stated they wouldn't engage in such reselling business.
Those who could afford this equipment were naturally all looking to develop their own territories.
Furthermore, Zhou Yan's ability to obtain so much good equipment in such a short period already represented a certain level of strength.
They were all smart people and knew what to do. They had already negotiated with Zhou Yan, wanting to establish a good cooperative relationship.
Of course, for them, this was just the newcomer trial stage.
After the newcomer trial ended, they would naturally be able to develop and rise rapidly with the help of their families. By then, they might have forgotten about Zhou Yan as a partner.
Afterward, Zhou Yan began to contact the lord who owned the ore and started a private chat: "How much ore do you have, what star level is it, and what do you want to exchange it for?"
"I have ore from one star to three stars. It depends on what kind of equipment you can provide. I only want equipment, nothing else."
The other party's reply was also simple, and it seemed like they genuinely wanted to trade.
Zhou Yan also said: "No problem. I'll exchange Black Iron equipment for one-star ore, Bronze equipment for two-star ore, and Silver equipment for three-star ore."
"You're the one selling Silver equipment in the [Global Trading Hall]!" The other party was very surprised.
At this stage, only he had the confidence to exchange for Silver equipment. It had to be him.
Territory Notification: "[Overlord of the World] wants to add you as a friend. Accept, Reject?"
"Accept."
Territory Notification: "You and [Overlord of the World] have become friends. All your information is kept confidential from them."
"Don't reveal any information. Brother, there's no need to hide so deeply, right? We don't know who the other person is anyway," said [Overlord of the World].
"Let's talk about the quantity of the exchange," Zhou Yan didn't answer, he only traded, no idle chat.
The other party didn't ask any more questions and began to haggle with him.
Both of them were genuinely cooperating. The other party proactively revealed that his territory was a large iron ore production site and that they could establish a long-term cooperative relationship.
Zhou Yan naturally agreed. This was a win-win transaction for both parties, no reason to refuse.
After all, they were exchanging goods, and they had no right to dictate how the other party should dispose of the equipment. Whoever they wanted to sell it to was their business.
Zhou Yan happily obtained three-star ore. Although the quantity wasn't a lot, it was still a good thing.
When he placed the piles of ore next to the [Artifact Forging Workshop], the entire Dwarf race jumped up in excitement.
Nothing made them happier than forging.
Their loyalty had long reached 100 points. Dwarves were indeed a hardworking race that loved forging.
Their passion for forging was almost fanatical.
The prerequisite was finding a lord like him who was smart, wise, powerful, and could let them forge with peace of mind.
With this group of forging fanatics, Zhou Yan had no worries about equipment, but rather worried about how long this ore would last.
As the sun set in the west and the sunset glow filled the sky, time unknowingly passed until evening.
He guessed that Zhen Mi should be back soon and was looking forward to how many good things she would bring him.
Diao Chan had already gone with the two remaining Vine Demons to prepare dinner. They now ate various crops from the spirit fields for their three meals a day. These crops could replenish a large amount of physical energy and were much more powerful than ordinary food.
While he had free time, he opened the [Territory Pavement]. This building was peculiar because it paved the ground throughout the entire territory, so the price was calculated based on the territory's area.
He looked at the paving options:
1. Ordinary Bluestone Paving: 10 spirit coins per square meter, no special effects.
2. Exquisite White Marble Paving: 100 spirit coins per square meter, movement speed +1%.
3. Exquisite Auspicious Cloud Paving: 150 spirit coins per square meter, spiritual energy gathering +1%.
......
100. Dragon Pattern Gold Paving: 10,000 spirit coins per square meter, movement speed +50%, building defense attribute effect +20, spiritual energy condensation speed +30%, resident all attributes +1.
......
The more expensive the paving, the better the effect. But those later paving options were something he couldn't afford to build at all.
Each square meter here was burning money.
