When Kent arrived at the location of the poisonous chameleon, the goblin spear thrower had been waiting for a long time.
According to it, this poisonous chameleon had ambushed its team, killed and eaten a cave goblin, and then entered stealth mode. If it weren't for the goblin spear thrower's skill, [Hawkeye], which could lock onto the opponent, it might have escaped.
Kent quickly ran to the location mentioned by the spear thrower, a dense cluster of luminescent mushrooms. He completely failed to detect any trace of the poisonous chameleon.
If it weren't for the skeletal remains of a cave goblin on the ground, he would have thought there was nothing here.
Stealth mode can't be locked onto?
No problem, just use AOE to flush it out. With a roar, a chameleon as large as an adult water buffalo appeared. Kent used a [Double Bite] to kill it instantly and casually cast an Insight spell.

[Review: The poisonous chameleon is the most despicable and cunning hunter in the underground space. It only hunts prey that is much smaller in size, such as goblins.]
With a series of combos, the poisonous chameleon died on the spot.
"Thank you, great master, for avenging us," said the goblin spear thrower, moved to tears. This poisonous chameleon had attacked cave goblins before, so it came to this area when looking for prey, trying to use Kent's hand to eliminate it and avenge its people.
"Its flesh is poisonous, so I won't share it with you." Kent began to feast. He had promised to share monster meat with the goblins, but if it was poisonous, he would only eat the essential parts.
Just as Kent returned to the iron mine camp and before he could even sit down, another goblin came back to report that they had found prey.
Kent couldn't help but feel that his decision to subdue the cave goblins was wise; his efficiency in finding prey before was far from this high.
This time, the prey was a Rock Armor Wild Boar.
After Kent swallowed the material part and added the attributes, he distributed the remaining meat to the goblins. Although 25% extra experience points were tempting, it was still possible to give up compared to improving hunting efficiency and having someone help with mining.
Mike seemed to have logged off and couldn't be contacted temporarily. Kent hunted another elite monster before finding a secluded corner to sleep.
Meanwhile, the cave goblins who had eaten the wild boar meat continued to work hard at mining, trying to demonstrate their value to their master.
The next morning, Kent was awakened by a private message and found that Mike, who had spread the rumors, was online.
Kent went to the goblin mining area and found a pile of square red iron ore. These red iron ores were all mined with iron picks and were judged by the system to be of [ordinary] grade resources, which could be auctioned in the trading post.
[Red Iron Ore (Ordinary Grade Resource): 100 kg of red iron ore with a grade of 50, market price 220-300 copper coins per ton.]
There were more than 30 tons of red iron ore in total. Kent gave all of it to Mike, asking him to sell it quickly to improve his reputation level.
As for the profit split, Kent originally thought of a 50-50 split, after all, selling "Red Iron Ore" was different from selling "Ironworm Dung," which could be sold to any NPC shop. Therefore, only a small fee needed to be split.
However, selling a large amount of red iron ore was not so easy; it required finding a way and negotiating with other merchants, which was trivial and time-consuming, so it was not fair to split it evenly.
Most importantly, Mike was his brother. But Mike insisted on an 80-20 split, while Kent insisted on 80.
After bargaining for half a day, they finally settled on a 70-30 split.
With the scout, Kent, who was originally a homebody, was too lazy to go out and let the goblins find prey, while he continued to browse the forums and watch players' activities.
Just then, Kent noticed that "Prophet" had sent him a private chat request. Upon opening it, he found that the "Prophet" had received enough coins and had come specifically to collect the debt from him.
Kent hadn't figured out how much the other party needed to repay, but he generously handed over a gold coin.
Kent couldn't help but be amazed at how polite and generous this guy was. It's worth noting that although copper coins had depreciated, there was still a 25:1 exchange rate, so one gold coin was equivalent to $40,000. Wait a minute, why was it five times lower than the 200,000 he had originally set...
Prophet then expressed his interest in knowing the effects of Kent's achievements and offered a high price of 1 gold coin for each achievement, stating that he wanted to create an achievement encyclopedia.
After some hesitation, Kent agreed to the deal, considering that these achievements were not exactly secrets and could be made public.
Prophet promptly sent over 2 gold coins and then began to inquire about Kent's profession and talents. Kent chose not to disclose this information, as he didn't have a profession, and fabricating one wouldn't be wise when dealing with someone like the Prophet, who was the biggest information gatherer. There might be trouble if he lied and was found out later.
[Prophet: There's something I'd like to ask you. It's okay if you don't answer, I'm just curious.]
[Turn Away: Go ahead.]
[Prophet: May I ask what your adventure is? If you tell me, even if you don't want me to disclose it, I'll give you 10 gold coins. If you agree to let me disclose it, I'll give you 50 gold coins.]
Kent politely declined his inquiry. Becoming a dragon lizard was his biggest secret.
Although people in the Blue Star world couldn't affect him, it was still better for fewer people to know.
Prophet, seeing his firm attitude, did not press further. Instead, he stated that the deal was permanent and that Kent could contact him at any time.
Soon, Prophet's "Achievement Collection Thread" appeared on the forum.
