Chapter 158:
The players who went to the border city Bataxin for quests and personally experienced the “Bataxin Massacre” returned to Crimson Citadel at the fastest speed, driving their carriages in a mad dash, arriving by noon the next day.
By the time they got off their carriages at the camp, the number of little players who had completed the Black Iron Trial had already exceeded 7.
Apart from little Ashina, they were all veterans from the Joy Stick team.
This clearly showed that a highly successful, streamlined “strategy” had already been developed by that cunning Joy Stick.
At this point, the only factor limiting 10th-level little players from completing the Black Iron Trial was no longer individual strength or skill refinement, but rather the dwindling stock of combustion oil in Tris’s alchemy cottage.
After all, Tris is now the esteemed grand duchess of the Blood Vulture Clan, and dealing with clan affairs already occupies part of her time. Add to that Tris’s stubborn refusal to work overtime, which has led to her alchemy cottage not producing new goods for several days.
Little Ashina and Joy Stick’s guides have played a rather curious role in pushing this trend further.
Because whether it’s the Vampire’s Requiem bullets used by gunners or the oil needed by melee fighters, they all come from alchemists. After some clever player pointed this out, the alchemy cottage was almost overwhelmed by players.
The scene frightened even the salesperson specially hired by Tris.
