Chapter 4: Robin, the Free Merchant Attacked by the Human-Faced Bear, Elf City

As Zhang Xiaoyuan spoke, her hands moved faster, taking out the bear gallbladder and bear paws from the human-faced bear; these were materials that could increase strength.

"Alright, it's time to replace your arm."

Zhang Xiaoyuan got up and walked towards Hou Mu.

"No, it's alright, I'm fine."

As Hou Mu watched Zhang Xiaoyuan slowly approach, he retreated in fear. In Hou Mu's eyes, Zhang Xiaoyuan was a monster even more terrifying than the human-faced bear.

"You're alright? Are you sure?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan took a step forward and appeared directly behind Hou Mu in the next moment, grabbing Hou Mu's broken arm.

"what--"

Hou Mu screamed, trying to pull his arm away, but the movement only made the pain worse.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you like that before. I was wrong. Please forgive me!"

"I can forgive you, but I want you to skin the human-faced bear."

Zhang Xiaoyuan said calmly.

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you ask."

Upon hearing that it involved skinning the human-faced bear, Hou Mu breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't a big deal.

Hou Mu squatted down, about to make a move, when Zhang Xiaoyuan spoke again:

"Not with the left hand, but with the right hand."

"what?"

Hou Mu was stunned for a moment. His right hand was broken and he couldn't use it. How could he peel off the skin?

"I'll say it again, use your right hand," Zhang Xiaoyuan said expressionlessly.

"I'm good."

Hou Mu wanted to say no, but no one gave him the courage, so in the end he could only endure the pain and peel off all the skin.

By the time he gave the animal hide to Zhang Xiaoyuan, she was already fast asleep.

Hou Mu's face turned ashen. He was about to start cursing, but then he remembered that Zhang Xiaoyuan could smash the human-faced bear to pieces with a single punch while she was sleeping. "I'll hold back!"

……

The next morning, Zhang Xiaoyuan was awakened by the smell of food.

"Wow, it smells so good."

Zhang Xiaoyuan sniffed and noticed that Shi Tian was cooking porridge.

"Brother Yuan, you're awake. Here's your animal hide."

Hou Mu, his body wrapped in rattan bandages, chuckled as he handed the animal hide to Zhang Xiaoyuan.

"Ishida is a good cook. He's making bird egg and bear meat porridge, it'll be ready soon."

"Ah."

Zhang Xiaoyuan nodded, put the animal hide into her backpack, and walked over.

In the stone pot, the egg liquid and meat pieces are mixed together, and the meat porridge emits a rich aroma.

"It smells so good, it must be delicious. So, is your friend in the shadows planning to wait until the food is ready before showing up?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan raised her voice and looked in one direction.

"What? Someone's lurking in the shadows?!"

Hou Mu was shocked and quickly hid behind Zhang Xiaoyuan, not wanting to be slapped away again.

"Hehe, I'm really sorry, it's just that the food you made smelled so good that it attracted me here."

After a moment, as the bubbles in the meat porridge burst, a fox walking upright and wearing loose blue linen clothes emerged, its data panel displaying level 10.

"Hello, I am Robin, a merchant. Yesterday, my caravan and I were separated by a monster attack, and now I am all alone."

Robin smiled, his eyes constantly glancing at the meat porridge.

How do you prove your identity?

Nian Ciyun walked over carrying the Ice Frost Spear, eyeing Robin warily.

"This is my personal information; you can view it."

Robin took out a sign that looked like an ID card, which read "Robin, Free Merchant of Elf City" and other information.

"Do you believe it now?"

“The Elf City is a large city in the Wind Plains. No one would forge their identity information there, because the aura of the elves cannot be faked.”

Ci Nianyun withdrew the Ice Frost Spear and explained to Zhang Xiaoyuan, but then she paused, wondering why she had to explain to Zhang Xiaoyuan.

"Elf City? Isn't Elf City in the center of the Wind Plains? Why would a merchant come to such a remote place on the edge of the Wind Plains?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan stared at Robin's backpack for a while, puzzled.

After retrieving his identity token, Robin took out a silver coin from his backpack.

“I won’t eat your food for free; one silver coin is enough for a bowl of porridge.”

"One piece? Robin, look carefully, this is meat from a level 15 monster, a human-faced bear. It should cost at least three pieces."

Hou Mu stepped forward and held up three fingers.

"A level 15 Warcraft Human-Faced Bear? You actually killed the Human-Faced Bear?" Robin exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, it's just a magical beast, easy to take down."

Hou Mu looked smug, as if he, not Zhang Xiaoyuan, was the one who killed the human-faced bear.

He led Robin to the bear's corpse. Although a small part of it had been cut off, its original appearance was still recognizable.

"It really was a human-faced bear. My companions and I got separated because we were attacked by a human-faced bear. I never expected that you would actually kill the human-faced bear."

Robin exclaimed in amazement.

"How about it? Three silver coins are worth it, right?" Hou Mu said with a smile.

“It’s worth it, of course it’s worth it. I’ll give you three silver coins for avenging my fallen comrades.”

Robin smiled and nodded, took out three silver coins and handed them to Hou Mu, then ladled out a bowl of porridge and chewed the meat chunks inside vigorously, seemingly venting his frustration.

"Brother Yuan, here's one for you, Captain, Ishida..."

Hou Mu distributed the silver coins to the three people, keeping none for himself. After all, he was of little use now, so it was better to please others in order to survive.

……

After finishing breakfast, Zhang Xiaoyuan and her three friends were about to leave when Robin suddenly called them back.

"Humans, I want to hire you to protect me on my way to the Elf City. You'll be passing through there anyway, so it's on the way. The fee is 10 silver coins per person."

"Are you bringing more people?"

Hearing this, Hou Mu frowned and was about to complain, but when he saw Zhang Xiaoyuan next to him, he immediately shut his mouth.

"Zhang Xiaoyuan, what do you think?"

Although Ci Nianyun is the captain of this team, after what happened last night, she knows that Zhang Xiaoyuan is even more capable than herself, so she wants to hear Zhang Xiaoyuan's thoughts.

"I have no objection. You're the captain, so you have the final say."

Zhang Xiaoyuan honestly said that he was not nearly as ferocious as when he punched a bear in the head.

Ci Nianyun: "..."

Keep pretending!

"Well, since no one has any objections, I agree. But Robin, you'll have to pay half of the hiring fee first."

"of course."

Robin nodded with a smile and handed 20 silver coins to Ci Nianyun.

"Let's make it clear beforehand that we'll finish our own business first before sending you off; we won't be in a rush to get to Elf City."

After Ci Nianyun distributed the silver coins, he reminded Robin.

"No rush, I'm not in a hurry, take your time... Okay."

Robin readily agreed.

With this, another person was added to the team. Ci Nianyun walked in front to scout the way, while Zhang Xiaoyuan walked at the back of the team, claiming that she was too big to walk slowly.

"This guy's backpack is bulging, what could it be?" Zhang Xiaoyuan examined it closely.

It's a pity I'm not asleep right now, otherwise I might be able to sense what's in the backpack.

The creatures in the Battlefield of Gods were all brought in by the gods. They have no data panels or data backpacks, and items can only be carried outside.

"Moreover, his smile made me very uncomfortable. I need to find an opportunity to test him, since foxes in games often represent bad things."
