Chapter 164: An Unexpected Harvest
After leaving the clinic, Leon hopped onto his bike and headed straight for Clint’s Blacksmith Shop.
The trip went smoothly, and soon Leon found himself standing outside the shop.
Just before stepping in, however, he noticed something odd—the lid of the garbage bin next to the shop wasn’t closed.
Out of courtesy, Leon walked over to put the lid back on. But before he did, his eyes caught something inside—half-buried among the dark, sooty furnace ash was a metallic ingot, gleaming with a bright silvery sheen.
Curious, Leon picked it up. The familiar System Prompt appeared in his mind.
“Iron Ingot (Resource): A pure iron ingot.”
For a moment, Leon almost suspected Clint had bugged him and knew he was in need of an iron ingot—so he’d “conveniently” planted one in the trash for him to find.
But that was obviously impossible. After a brief moment of indecision, Leon decided not to just pocket it. Instead, he knocked on the blacksmith shop’s door, iron ingot in hand.
“Leon, come on in,” Clint said, visibly relieved when he saw who it was.
