Chapter 42: Obtain a Reputation Trading Card, and Little Fox Evolves!

The Gold-Digging Dwarf seemed to be quite satisfied with the taste, and he casually tossed the water rune to Klein.

[System notification: Water Rune+1]

Klein took the water rune and couldn’t help but think that if he had drugged the Gold-Digging Dwarf in advance, he would have been able to turn it upside down.

But it was also possible that the Gold-Digging Dwarf would have been able to tell that the drug was inside, and the trade would have been interrupted.

Klein was equally satisfied with this transaction.

Exchanging a piece of barbecued meat for a water rune was a sure win.

The Gold-Digging Dwarf was on guard against Klein and Little Fox as he chewed on the barbecued meat. He narrowed his eyes and enjoyed the taste of the barbecued meat.

After finishing it, he licked his tongue, still not satisfied.

“Do you still want to make the transaction?”

Klein took out the grill and a few pieces of raw meat, constantly swaying them in front of the Gold-Digging Dwarf.

The Gold-Digging Dwarf observed them for a moment and roughly understood what he meant.

Then, he reached into the large bag and fiddled with it.

He opened his palm, and four runes appeared.

Two earth runes, one fire rune, and one water rune.

There were still no wind runes. It was likely that this fellow was out of stock.

“Wait a moment.”

Klein’s face was filled with smiles.

This was too easy to earn.

In the current trading market, the price of exchanging runes had unknowingly increased by a lot.

One piece of meat wasn’t enough to exchange for it!

He lit the fire and began to roast the meat.

Klein’s actions were well-done as he finished roasting the meat.

The Gold-Digging Dwarf let down its guard and moved closer to observe Klein’s actions.

“You want to steal my knowledge?

Klein wasn’t afraid of this being stolen.

It was likely that he wouldn’t be able to meet this Gold-Digging Dwarf in the future.

Klein placed the four pieces of roasted meat in a large bowl and gestured for the Gold-Digging Dwarf to come forward and retrieve it.

The Gold-Digging Dwarf hesitated for a moment before quickly grabbing the large stone bowl.

After checking the goods, it threw the other four runes to Klein.

[System notification: Earth Rune+2, Water Rune+1, Fire Rune+1]

Klein pointed at the black pepper powder and smiled. “Do you have anything else? I can use this to exchange with you.”

Without the black pepper, the roasted meat wouldn’t have any unique fragrance.

If Klein wanted the black pepper powder, there were many sellers on the market. Two to three hundred ml of water or half a piece of meat would be enough to exchange for it.

The Gold-Digging Dwarf looked at the four pieces of roasted meat in his bowl, then looked up at the black pepper powder and nodded repeatedly.

He continued reaching out to touch the things.

“Very good. I hope it’s something good.”.

Klein raised two fingers and added, “If it’s runes, I can accept it, but at least give me two pieces. It’s not easy to obtain this thing.”

He was trying to bluff, but it was unknown if the Gold-Digging Dwarf could understand him.

The Gold-Digging Dwarf took out a round bead.

It wasn’t big, but it was completely vermilion in color. It was extremely alluring.

Klein asked, “Can I take a look?”

Klein needed to look at the item first.

If it was an ordinary material or a piece of jewelry, it wouldn’t be worth much to Klein. It couldn’t be compared to runes.

The Gold-Digging Dwarf stretched out his hand and handed the bead over. He thought for a moment before pulling it back. From the looks of it, he still had some misgivings.

“Don’t worry. I’m a trustworthy person.”

Klein placed the stone bowl filled with black pepper on the ground.

The Gold-Digging Dwarf hesitated for half a minute before throwing out the red bead and gesturing at Little Fox.

“Are you talking about giving it to the little fox?”

Klein received it with one hand and looked at the details of the item.

[System notification: Ordinary Bloodline Pill+1]

[Ordinary Bloodline Pill: Condensed from the blood essence of the crypt creature. After a crypt creature takes it, it can increase its ability, but it cannot break the upper limit.]

The item isn’t bad. I can give you the black pepper powder.”

Klein accepted it with satisfaction.

The Gold-Digging Dwarf wouldn’t be able to increase the upper limit by taking it, which was why it would keep it instead of taking it on its own.

“Are there still such things?” Klein asked.

The Gold-Digging Dwarf shook its head.

“Take it.”

Klein stepped back and distanced himself from the stone bowl.

The gold-digging dwarf carefully stepped forward and happily grabbed the stone bowl.

It observed it up close, sniffed it, and danced and shouted.

“Let’s continue.”

Before Klein could finish his sentence, the Gold-Digging Dwarf poured the black pepper powder into a small cloth bag before throwing it into the large cloth bag. It grabbed the large cloth bag and plunged it into the ground.

The large cloth bag followed the Gold-Digging Dwarf and sank into the soil.

A bronze-colored plate was thrown out from the ground.

Klein was speechless.

He wanted to continue the transaction, but this fellow actually left!

“Is this plate for me?”

Klein went forward and picked up the bronze plate.

It seemed to be made of copper or iron.

There was a distortion on the surface.

[System notification: Reputation Trading Card+1]

[Reputation Trading Card: It comes from a Gold-Digging Dwarf. They will only give the card to a sincere buyer. With the card, if they encounter other Gold-Digging Dwarfs in the future, they will choose to trust them 100%.]

“Is this considered getting the certification of a Gold-Digging Dwarf?”

Klein took back the card.

If he encountered a Gold-Digging Dwarf in the future, he didn’t need to expend any effort to communicate with it. He could just directly show the card.

Klein squatted down and said with a smile, “Little Fox, come, hold it.”

There was a round ball between his fingers.

Without a second thought, Little Fox opened her mouth and swallowed the blood ball.

Little Fox’s limbs were stiff, and the fur on her body stood up one by one. She looked like a kitten whose fur had exploded!

The blood ball melted in her mouth and entered her body through her throat.

Energy exploded in her body.

This state lasted for a few minutes.

Klein saw with his own eyes that behind the fox, a third tail was gradually forming.

According to the Tail Fox’s description, the more tails they had, the more powerful they were.

It could have a maximum of nine tails.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The fox slowly regained her movement.

When she turned her head, she saw that she had gained a furry tail. As she gestured, she chased after the tail in circles.

It was obvious how happy she was!

[System notification: Pet Tail Fox has completed their metamorphosis and their strength has increased. New Ability: Copper Skin and Iron Bones.]

The system promptly responded.

“New ability.”

Klein hurriedly opened the pet interface to check.
