Chapter 96 - 96, Fighting Tooth Girl (Please recommend.)_l
After bidding farewell to the slave trader, Fang Hao went straight to the tavern.
He pushed open the door of the tavern.
Inside the tavern, it was still bustling as usual.
Beastmen of various races were drinking and chatting, shouting loudly.
Fang Hao was no stranger here and the tavern owner knew him well.
“What’ll you be having?” the Tauren owner asked.
Fang Hao came to the tavern to replenish some spices for his territory and to see if there were any new single-page maps available.
“Honey wine, please. And prepare the same spices as last time for me,” Fang Hao said softly as he sat at the counter.
“Alright, wait a moment!” The owner wiped his hands with a cloth and began preparing what Fang Hao needed.
Fang Hao turned his gaze to the posting board next to him.
It usually had some information on it, like bounties from various tribes, or maps brought by merchants.
The map of the mine and the monster outpost Fang Hao got last time were obtained from here.
There was a single-page map available today as well.
Map: Unknown Cave
Category: Single-page Map
(Description: A map drawn by a traveling merchant, recording the route and terrain of unknown ruins.)
“Interested in the map?”
The Tauren owner came back over, placing the honey wine in front of Fang Hao.
“Yes, I’ll take the map and these slave contracts,” Fang Hao declared directly. “This map is a bit more expensive, it costs 3 Warfire Coins. Each slave contract costs 1 Warfire Coin, you can pay for it all when you check out,” the owner said. Fang Hao nodded, sipping his honey wine as he chatted casually with the owner.
Honey wine didn’t quite suit the taste of adult beastmen.
Considering the beastmen’s fondness for alcohol, honey wine was considered more of a sweet drink.
While sipping his honey wine, Fang Hao suddenly remembered the Blueprint for a Troll’s Brewing Barrel that he had acquired. He was still short of two quintessences of wine for the crafting materials.
If it weren’t for that, he could even open his own tavern.
He cast a glance at the Tauren owner, curiously asking, “Do you have any quintessences of wine here?”
“Quintessences of wine? What are you going to do with them?” The owner asked with some surprise.
Seeing the owner’s surprised expression, Fang Hao was certain that the tavern must have them.
“I need them to make something. Sell me two,” Fang Hao responded directly. “Ah, well, I do have two in the warehouse, but they’re 50 Warfire Coins each. Interested in buying?” The Tauren answered uncertainly.
50 each, not exactly cheap.
Even though Fang Hao had done two deals with Bronze Bull, the owner wasn’t sure if he would be willing to spend that much.
After all, with too Warfire Coins, one could hire a small squad of beastmen.
“Deal. You can include it with my spices,” Fang Hao agreed readily.
“Alright.”
The owner didn’t hesitate, readily agreeing and instructing the barkeeper to prepare the items.
As Fang Hao was drinking his wine and waiting for the owner to prepare the goods, a card game at the neighboring table caught his attention.
It was a game similar to poker, using dominoes and dice to ultimately determine the winner and the loser.
The winner collected the wager, while the loser left cursing angrily.
“Damn, this is some rotten luck.”
At that moment, a curse echoed from the card table. The cursing beast-eared girl hurled her dominoes onto the table in frustration.
She was a short girl, but she stood out in the tavern.
Her silver hair draped over her right shoulder while the hair on the other side was shaven extremely short, exposing her furry beast-ears clearly.
She wore a brown leather bustier on her upper body, her slender waist bare, revealing abs and a shadow of a v-line.
Her tight skin-fitting leather pants highlighted her athletic legs perfectly.
Her waist was thin, her back was slightly curved, and her body was lean and muscular.
Full of wild, unrestrained nature.
The girl flung her bone cards on the table with an angry expression and loudly cursed her luck that day.
The rest of them just watched happily, picking up their winnings.
In a moment of aimless rage, she turned her head and met Fang Hao’s gaze, their eyes locking.
Fang Hao tensed up inside and quickly looked away, pretending to be examining the antler chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
Even so, his actions drew the attention of the white-haired girl.
She kicked a stool out of the way and sat down right next to Fang Hao.
“Human kid, what were you just looking at?” The girl casually asked, plopping down onto a seat next to him and questioning.
“Just glancing around, why, is there a problem?” Fang Hao replied.
Fang Hao grumbled to himself about his rotten luck.
Not that he was scared of this white-haired girl, but he had the feeling of stirring up trouble just by trying to enjoy the spectacle.
“Anjia, he’s a guest of the Tellock Chieftain. Don’t make trouble here.” The Minotaur boss interjected.
Turns out, the white-haired girl’s name was Anjia.
Hearing the Minotaur’s words, Anjia took another look at him.
She swiveled her big round eyes, broke into a grin, leaned over, and proposed, “I just lost all my money at cards, lend me 200 gold coins. If I win, I’ll pay you back with interest. If not, I’ll spend three days with you – and I mean in any way you want. How about it?”
Fang Hao’s eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the white-haired girl standing before him.
She changed her attitude so quickly and spoke so straightforwardly.
It almost felt like there was something wrong with her brain.
“Anjia, play your cards, don’t bother the guests.” The Minotaur boss continued.
But the girl didn’t pay any mind to the boss’s words.
She persisted, “What do you think? Want to consider it?”
The people around them started to chuckle quietly, waiting in anticipation for the upcoming scene.
“200 gold could get me 20 of you, no difference. Why would I lend it to you?” replied Fang Hao.
He had just bought a whole lot of Rabbitmen, all looking pretty decent.
200 gold for three days, even if she really was willing to spend three days with him, it wouldn’t be a good deal.
“Hmph! I’m a Hero, no ordinary goods. You’re telling me 200 is too much?” Anjia huffed, noticeably upset.
This made Fang Hao even more surprised.
He quickly checked her properties.
[Fighting Tooth – Anjia (Blue Rank 7 Hero)]
Turned out, she really was a hero.
No wonder this humanoid beast with human-like appearance can act so arrogantly and rudely in the tavern without anyone stopping her.
The tavern owner could only mention the Bronze Bull Tellock to suppress her a bit when she was causing trouble to Fang Hao.
But what species was this girl of?
So domineering and provocative, a leopard?
“What do you think? It’s quite enjoyable to be accompanied by a hero for three days. You won’t lose on this deal for 200 gold, right?” Anjia said with a smile.
Tavern, Hero.
Fang Hao stroked his chin and nodded slightly, “Not bad. You wouldn’t regret this, would you?”
“As Anjia, I never go back on my word,” Anjia continued.
“Okay, I agree. I don’t have Beasthead Gold, I’ll give you Warfire Coins instead.” Fang Hao promptly brought out 40 Warfire Coins and pushed them towards Anjia.
“Alright, wait for me to earn you a fortune.”
Anjia snapped up the Warfire Coins and walked back to the card table, yelling loudly, “Come on, watch me make you all beg for mercy.”
Then, the crowd continued the card game that they were playing earlier.
At the front desk.
The Minotaur boss sighed lightly, “Let it go. Spending this money will save you further troubles from Anjia.”.
Huh?
Hearing the boss’s words, Fang Hao looked again at the card table.
It seemed that Anjia’s card luck was infamously bad in this place..
