Chapter 16: Receiving Refined Iron

“Wow!”

“God, you actually accepted my friend request!”

“Is this real? Am I dreaming?”

Looking at how she did not believe that he would agree to her friend request and the content of the request, Fang Ping suddenly felt that this girl was either naturally dumb or really easy to fool.

“You don’t have to be surprised. I only contacted you after seeing that you had a large amount of refined iron to supply.”

“If I find out that you lied to me, I’ll blacklist you immediately.”

After sending the message, the other party immediately replied.

“No, no, I really have a lot of refined iron to supply.”

“(Attached are photos of several Dwarves mining and forging iron, as well as several mines filled with refined iron.)”

“Look, I’m not lying to you. It’s just that my dwarves haven’t been able to get enough food and water, so they’ve been working listlessly. However, as long as they’re full, they can work hard.”

“My territory is in a mine. The water and food I have can’t keep up with their appetite at all, so when I saw that you could sell a large amount of food and water every day, I hurriedly contacted you.”

Looking at the series of pictures and the naivety in the other party’s words, Fang Ping could immediately confirm that as long as the other party was not acting, it was very likely that they were a natural fool who did not have any thoughts.

“Since you really have a lot of refined iron, we can trade. However, what’s your price?”

As Fang Ping sent out the message, the other party replied instantly. It was as if she was really in a hurry and did not waste any time.

“God, my refined iron is very cheap. I only need one unit of meat or clean water to exchange for ten units of refined iron. It’s 50% cheaper than the market rate. Isn’t it worth it?”

Seeing the other party’s low price, Fang Ping was simply stunned.

What was going on? He had seen people bargaining, but he had never seen anyone raise the price of his goods. What was the background of this person?

Could it be that he had robbed a rich family filled with refined iron? Otherwise, why would she exchange her refined iron at such a low price for food and water?

“Why is your price so low? Did you pick up the refined iron or is there a problem with the quality?”

The girl who was flustered by Fang Ping’s message quickly replied.

“I guarantee that there’s no problem with the quality of my refined iron. Moreover, all of it was obtained by my Dwarves mining bit by bit. It’s impossible for them to have picked it up.”

“As for why I offered such a low price to sell my refined iron in exchange for food and water, it’s mainly because I want you to agree to one of my requests.”

When Fang Ping saw the girl’s reply this time, he immediately thought that he had met another swindler. He asked cautiously.

“A request?”

“What request?”

“If it’s like delivering refined iron in installments or giving you food and water first, then the matter of exchanging refined iron will be out of the question.”

When the other party saw Fang Ping’s message, she immediately understood that Fang Ping had probably thought that she was a swindler who was tricking him of his food and water on the spot. In order not to deepen the misunderstanding, she quickly explained.

“I won’t make those requests. I’m not a liar. Don’t worry.”

“My request is that I’m preparing to upgrade my soldiers, so I’m short of Spirit Stones.”

“I want to ask if you have 20 Spirit Stones. If you do, I’ll exchange each Spirit Stone for 200 units of refined iron.”

Seeing the other party’s explanation, Fang Ping heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as she was not a swindler.

If he encountered a swindler, it didn’t matter if he wasted some time or lost some resources. However, if his development speed was delayed, no matter where the other party was, he would definitely think of a way to find them and make them understand the price of lying to him.

Seeing that the other party’s request was only to exchange Spirit Stones with him, Fang Ping agreed without thinking.

After all, although he did not have a lot of Spirit Stones on hand, he still had a lot of them in his hands as the Skeleton Soldiers hunted wild beasts and collected resources.

“If it’s just Spirit Stones, of course it’s not a problem. I don’t dare to say that I have many Spirit Stones, but I still have 20 of them.”

“Furthermore, seeing that you gave me such a low price for the refined iron, I can exchange materials with you at a rate of one Spirit Stone for 100 units of refined iron.”

Seeing that Fang Ping had agreed to her request and had even taken the initiative to lower the price to 100 units of refined iron in exchange for the price of one Spirit Stone, the young lady was shocked and in disbelief.

It had to be known that Spirit Stones were a must for upgrading soldiers and upgrading one’s Overlord Level. No matter how high one’s level increased, Spirit Stones would always exist. Furthermore, the number needed would increase.

At this stage, the only way to obtain Spirit Stones was to hunt wild beasts and decompose their corpses. Only then would there be a chance to obtain a Spirit Stone.

However, the probability of obtaining Spirit Stones from decomposing the corpses of wild beasts was below 1%. Some people might not even be able to obtain one even if they decomposed a thousand wild beasts.

Most importantly, at this stage, about half of the people did not even have enough to eat. How would they obtain beast corpses to decompose and obtain Spirit Stones from? Even if a portion of people had already begun to hunt wild beasts in large numbers, the Spirit Stones they decomposed would still be used to increase the strength of their territory. Almost no one would trade Spirit Stones with others.

Moreover, judging from Fang Ping’s tone, he probably still had a lot of Spirit Stones left after the transaction.

The young girl was instantly shocked by Fang Ping’s powerful strength. At the same time, she was determined to cling onto Fang Ping.

“Thank you, God. I’m willing to trade with you at the price you mentioned. I’ll continue to provide you with refined iron at the current price.”

Looking at the excited girl, Fang Ping smiled.

“Okay, how many units of refined iron do you have now?”

Seeing Fang Ping’s question, the girl immediately replied.

“After the hard work of the Dwarves over the past few days, I now have 5,000 units of refined iron that I can trade with you.”

“Furthermore, this is the amount dug and forged by the Dwarves while they were starving.”

“When they are all full in the future, the production will definitely increase by a lot.”

The two huge rocks that had been weighing on Fang Ping’s heart were simply blown away by the girl’s affirmative reply.

“In that case, I’ll give you 20 Spirit Stones, as well as 1,500 units of meat and clean water respectively. How about it?”

The girl approved of Fang Ping’s fair distribution decision.

“I don’t have a problem. God, your distribution is very even.”

“I’ll give you the refined iron now.”

After the message was sent, 5,000 units of refined iron were also sent over.

Meanwhile, Fang Ping was already shocked by the other party’s naive actions.

There was something wrong with this girl’s brain. She had sent 5,000 units of refined iron to him after a short conversation without even seeing the goods. If he did not give her Spirit Stones and food, wouldn’t it be over?

However, her straightforwardness, adorable personality, and the tone of her conversation made Fang Ping feel extremely comfortable. After the girl sent him the refined iron, he sent her the Spirit Stones and food directly before clicking to receive the refined iron.

At the same time, he sent a message.
