[Taking Up another Contribution Mission!]
I looked at the five goblins that were actively having fun with the corpse after they finish distributing the spoils. I walked closer to where they located, and sneak around them. Out of sudden, my Hunter sense immediately spots a few traps that were placed along the walking path. "No wonder they would be so relaxed and happily continue to have fun with the corpse when they are actually within the territories of the Tian Gong Country." I thought.
I dismantled the trap left by the goblins as I get closer, and with the Hunter Sense, I could get nearer without alerting the goblin. But in my opinion, five goblin is slightly hard to handle. To make sure that I have a chance of success, I climbed onto of a tree, placed a few brass around the ground that I will have reach toward, and make sure of an escape route. Then, with a heavy action, I throw a sack of Disposable material to where It is really close to one of the Brass Rod I purposely drop.
The sound soon got noticed by one of the goblins, and very soon, led by its greed, the goblin secretly head towards where I am. It quickly reached the bottom of the tree where I'm located, and as soon it saw the piece of Brass Rod, it happily dances for a moment, before it turns towards its companion and tried to gave a shout. "Bam!" I fire a shot. And it pierces through the goblin's head before it could shout. In that instant, It falls without a sound, and the corpse quickly vanished into the air, leaving only three item on the ground.
I throw another sack of trash on the ground and tried to take the four remaining goblins attention. Finally, after the fifth sack is thrown, two goblins finally noticed the sound, and quickly walk over. They quickly saw the five-sack of trash on the ground and also two pieces of Brass Rod, as they happily dance like the first one, but this time, I miscalculated. Before I managed to take a shot, one of the goblin rushes over to the Brass Rod, while another is calling for its companion. "Did they think that there is some treasure here, so they called the others?

No matter what, I cannot give them the chance to regroup. I aimed at one of them, and with a "Bam!", one of the two goblins falls down dead. The other one was surprised to see what happened, and quickly went over to that companion's dead body, but without noticing me at the top of the tree, I fire another shot. "Bam!" the third goblin falls down to the floor. Looking at the two dead bodies soon vanished into thin air, leaving only six item on the floor, I went down to the ground and pick it up. I looked at the two remaining goblins that yet to move from where they were, and sneak behind them without making a single voice.
The goblin soon speaks loudly, as it scolding the other three for not being around when they wanted to left. Then as the two goblins almost entered the bushes around them, I shift myself down from the tree, and at almost impossible to miss range, I fire two shots and take away that two pitiful life as well. Just like this, I killed five goblins in a row. I pick up all the item that is worth a little, as I quickly inspect them before I return to the town.

Except for this few Goblin item, I managed to land myself some remains belonged to the dead human as well. Looking at his equipment, it seems that he hardly has any capability to protect himself at all, so this bad luck of his actually could cause him his life. From his remain, I only managed to obtain a total of 60 Brass Rod (1%), a Medium Grade 10 Brass Pickaxe, a Tribute Crystal and also twenty Black Spirit Crystals. Other than this few thing, nothing could be salvaged, because the Compartment Bag had already been destroyed by the goblins to ransack his inventory.

Looking at my Inventory, I had enough Brass Rod (1%) to be delivered to the Blacksmithing Workshop, so my first destination is first to head over to the building first. The moment I saw Lady Su Rou, I immediately pass her the five hundred Brass Rod to fulfil the contribution request. The moment she looked at the amount of Brass Rod, she took it into her Compartment, and withdraws a total of six ten point Anvil Coins and a Tribute Crystal and passed it over to me. "Thank you, Big sister," I told her.
"You forget something?" Lady Su Rou suddenly reminds me of something. I turned around and looked at her for a moment before I remembered. "Ah! I still got a Night Copper Ingot in the auction. Is it sold?" I walked back to where she stands and replied. After she noticed that I remembered my item, she took out a total of 305 Black Spirit Crystals and passed it over for me to keep. "It was sold for 325 Black Spirit Crystals this time." Lady Su Rou tells me the price. I could only nod my head and say thank you before she continued.
"I got another Contribution Request for you, do you want to listen to it?" she said. Being a person who does not feel bothered by this, I answered her by saying "Sure!" as she started to explain the details. This time, the mission is regarding participating into a group of miners to a Cave that required a token to enters. This cave belonged to the Ling Hun Town Blacksmithing Workshop, but the quota to enter this Cave is divided into two, where half of them would be sold by the Town Hall for the public, while another half of the quota will be totally controlled by the Blacksmithing Workshop.
Location: Brass Mountain Outskirt Cave
Price: 15 Black Spirit Crystals
Duration: Unlimited
Base: Provided free of charge
Capacity: 2000 Person
Monster: Yes
Requirement: Strength Above (6)
Safety: 9/10
Insurance: None
Produce:
Brass Component Dust
Zinc Ore Dust
Mountain Borax Stone
Tin Ore Dust
Copper Ore Dust
This time, the request is regarding the procurement of Mountain Borax Stone, a rare and special Flux Ingredient that was used to forge a higher stage metal. The mountain Borax Stone came in a variety of size, but since the calculation of the reward is based on the weight you bring, a minimum requirement of bringing back a total of 150kg of Mountain Borax Stone is required. It seems that because this Flux Ingredient is extremely important for the Workshop to produce an urgent order, which is why for this time, the mission reward is quite good.
As long one could provide at least 150kg of the Mountain Borax Stone to the workshop, they will be allowed to keep all the other materials from the cave without other additional payments. Meanwhile, for any additional Mountain Borax Stone is contributed, it will be measured with the rewards of 1 points for every 200gm. Although the rewards are quite attractive, the downside of this contribution task is that one will need to spend a long time to properly look for the Mountain Borax Stone that was hidden with the deeper Cave. Added with some activities of Mountain Apes within the cave, the contribution task is made to be even more dangerous. But the good thing is, there is a Base provided within the Cave, so a safe zone is still available.
"So, what do you think?" Su Rou looked at my face as she enjoys looking at my serious but confused expression. I think for a while, and immediately tells her, I will take it!" she smiled after she heard my words. Just like this, she passed me a token and say that I am free to choose a day to go. I left after I obtained what I'm looking, as I quickly went back home and fall onto the bed without controls.

Bleen Fada - The Legendary Pathfinder
It had been decades since dreams started to kill. Today, it's finally over.Mahon was once a general and an impressive warrior. In his dreams. In Nightmare. There, he put an end to the war that plagued mankind for decades. In the real world, however, the war has been raging for millenia, and Mahon is weak, his body frail from all his years spent dream-fighting. But it's time for a new beginning. In a world he knows almost nothing about, he will struggle to climb back to power, a necessity if he wants to achieve his goal. But he doesn’t lack willpower. And he already reached the highest ranks before. Who is to say he can’t do it again? That is, if the Fada let it be… This story takes place in a medieval fantasy world. Swords and schemes are the common ways to assert your place among the powerful. This story follows Mahon on his journey back to power. Not a simple one, as he will uncover some of the deepest mysteries that had been buried deep down along the ages. As of now, 98% of my chapters are through Mahon’s PoV and I want to keep it that way. There will be no unending PoV swaps for multiple chapters. Although war/conflict is one of the main themes, it’s not really a story about war. Instead, expect fights, plots, foreshadowing, progression and adventure from these chapters. It’s my first time publishing a book, and English is not my native language. I hope you will enjoy the story and that you’ll be indulgent enough to point out my mistakes with kindness. I wish to grow as a better writer and provide something that will make you cheer for, and shiver in anticipation. As long as you’re not, it means there is something to improve. Note: It's a slow progression fantasy, and some have raised complaints about the depressing tones and slowness in some of the first chapters. Rest assured, it soon disappears as Mahon progresses. Release schedule : M/W/F at 6:12 am GMT+2
