Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 168: Blade of Iron

Just when Ye Mo and Village Chief Liu were chatting happily, a young girl walked in from the door and attracted their attention.

Seeing the person coming, Ye Mo was stunned and surprised, because this person was someone he knew, Liu Mengxi who was in his team before.

At that time, she said she wanted to go back to her hometown to visit her grandparents. Could this New Blade Island be her hometown?

On the other side, Liu Mengxi, who came in to find Village Chief Liu, was also stunned. She just heard that the problem of the black-armored ants had been solved, but she didn't expect that the person who solved it was him.

Just as the two were stunned, Village Chief Liu stood up and was about to introduce them to each other.

"Captain? Why are you here?" Liu Mengxi couldn't help but asked curiously.

Hearing this, Ye Mo stood up and said with a smile: "I wanted to go out and have some fun these days, so I took a mission. I didn't expect this to be your hometown."

After they finished speaking, Village Chief Liu was stunned. "So you two know each other, and captain? Liu Mengxi's captain? If I remember correctly, I think she mentioned him yesterday."

"So it was you, Captain, who killed those black-armored ants." Liu Mengxi showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

In response, Ye Mo nodded naturally, and then chatted briefly with the other party. During the process, Village Chief Liu watched the two people chatting and wanted to ask something, but when he saw that there was no room for interruption, he gave up.

After Ye Mo had chatted with the other party for a few words, he suddenly heard the name "Blade Iron" from Liu Mengxi. He immediately asked curiously, "Can Blade Iron be mined? Is there any Cold Iron ore on this island?"

In response to Ye Mo's question, Liu Mengxi told him everything she knew: "I'm not too sure, but my grandfather said that he used to occasionally go mining for Blade Iron Ore. But after the Black Armored Ants appeared, he couldn't go out anymore."

At this time, Village Chief Liu walked over, looked at Ye Mo, and said, "I know this. Our New Blade Island was a mining island a long time ago. There was a medium-sized Blade Iron Mine underground. The people who lived here used to make a living by mining. Later, due to over-mining, only a small vein remained. We stopped mining on the island and chose to let it recover slowly."

After hearing this, Ye Mo finally understood that the extraordinary mineral veins were different from the ordinary mines in his previous life. The mineral veins here were renewable resources. As long as the core of the spiritual mine was intact, it would eventually return to its original appearance as time passed.

"Later, after our village discovered that the mineral vein had recovered into a small one, we chose to mine it moderately. After all, our village has so few sources of income. The money from selling that little bit of ore may not be much, but for our villagers, it is already a lot."

"However, just like Xiao Meng said, the arrival of those black-armored ants has caused our village to lose this source of income. But now that you have killed those black-armored ants, our village can resume mining. This is all thanks to you."

At the end of his speech, Village Chief Liu smiled awkwardly.

After listening to this, Ye Mo was thoughtful. It seemed that if no one took up the task he had accepted, the reward would probably be much higher.

After all, this is related to the source of income for this small village.

But after thinking about it carefully, it doesn't matter. Even if the reward for this kind of task is increased, it will be at most a few hundred thousand, and his profit this time is tens of millions.

After thinking about it, Ye Mo looked at Village Chief Liu and asked curiously, "Village Chief Liu, how much Blade Iron do you have here? To be honest, I need a lot of Blade Iron. If the price is right, I want to buy it all."

Village Chief Liu obviously hadn't expected the other party to say that. Blade Iron, as a first-grade metal, had limited uses, and few people needed it, especially in large quantities. However, since this was someone else's business, he naturally wouldn't pry. After a moment's thought, Village Chief Liu said, "I have very little Blade Iron here. I only mine a few hundred pieces a month. If you want it, I can sell it to you for 77 yuan a piece."

This price is really low. When he bought it online before, it was only 6 yuan per copy, and that was the price he got after buying more than copies. Thinking of this, Ye Mo was a little surprised. However, this quantity is too small. If he wants to upgrade the sharpness of the Bai Ling Flying Sword to level , he will probably need copies of Blade Iron.

"Forget it, I need a lot, and this is too little."

Facing Ye Mo's answer, Village Chief Liu glanced at Liu Mengxi, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'm not sure how many you need. If it's more than 100,000 pieces, I can get you this batch of Blade Iron at 20% off the market price."

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo was shocked and said, "Really? I'm a student at the Magic City Academy. Don't lie to me. I need 300,000 pieces of Blade Iron. If you, Village Chief Liu, can really get that much Blade Iron at a 20% discount, I can personally give you 1,000,000 Yanhuang coins."

If he bought 300,000 pieces of Blade Iron himself, it would probably cost nearly 30 million. But according to the 20% discount offered by Village Chief Liu, he could save 3 million, which is already a lot.

Hearing about the one million, Village Chief Liu showed a hint of excitement, but when he thought of Ye Mo's talent and status, he immediately shook his head and said, "I don't need this one million."

After rejecting the one million, Village Chief Liu began to talk about how Ye Mo could use the 20% discount to buy so much Blade Iron.

Ye Mo just stood there and listened to the other party's story.

It turns out that Village Chief Liu has this ability mainly because he has some connection with a company that sells low-grade ores. The reason for this connection is that this company was jointly established by their Xinren Island and more than a dozen other mining islands, specifically for the sale of ores on their islands.

Later, the mines on New Blade Island dried up, and his voice in the company was greatly reduced, but the relationship still existed. In addition, although the 20% discount seemed low, 300,000 pieces of Blade Iron was a large order. If you really counted it, he still made a lot of money.

Finally, through the village chief Liu, Ye Mo got in touch with the United Islands Mining Company. In his capacity as a student at the Magic City Academy, he quickly communicated with the other party. He only needed to confirm that everything was correct after returning to proceed with the transaction worth more than 20 million yuan.

The improvement of the sharpness of Bai Ling's natal flying sword was considered completed, and Ye Mo, in a happy mood, started chatting with Village Chief Liu and Liu Mengxi.

When it was almost ten o'clock, Ye Mo said goodbye to them and left the office hall.

In the empty hall, only Village Chief Liu and Liu Mengxi were left.

"Then I'll go find Uncle Li and help him clean up the monsters over there. Grandpa Liu, I'll be leaving first." After saying goodbye, Liu Mengxi also left. She came here to clean up some low-level monsters around the mine, so that her grandfather could be safer when mining ore.

As for the safety issue, with her current strength, she can still kill those first and second level monsters in front of her.

After nodding, Village Chief Liu returned to his seat and sipped his tea quietly. The main reason he helped Ye Mo this time was because of the other party's identity. If he was just a student of Modu Academy, he would never do so. But since the other party was the captain mentioned by Liu Mengxi, it was worth his help.

According to what Liu Mengxi said yesterday, this Ye Mo is definitely one of the most talented students in their class. With such potential, he will definitely achieve great things in the future.

Although the favor he gained from helping out this time was not big, and he did not expect the other party to do anything to their village in the future, it would be enough as long as the other party could have a better impression of Liu Mengxi, who came from their village.
