Chapter 57
Frostaxe’s hands were shaking.
As a jeweler and a proper miner, Frostaxe’s hands had not shivered for decades now.
The last time he trembled was because Frostaxe had run into a twenty meter long Venomcrawler underground, and he only trembled because he was afflicted with the Venomcrawler’s poison.
Well, in the strictest of sense Frostaxe was indeed “poisoned”, but this poison was called “Internet addiction”.
Frostaxe’s hands trembled for two reasons; first, it was anger.
He had lost seven games in a row to Joshua! As a Great Elder of the Frostaxe Clan, he definitely would not have allowed himself to be defeated so many times.
Be it drinking or arm-wrestling, he would not allow himself to lose to someone so many times!
The second reason was excitement, as after he got familiar with the rules of Hearthstone, he was about to beat Joshua in the eighth game.
In fact, from the previous eight games Frostaxe had been complaining about a problem, that was some of the cards in the deck were simply too weak, and he totally did not want to draw those cards!
And what Joshua mentioned that ‘you can also edit your own deck’, this was a feature that Frostaxe desperately wanted!
Being able to edit the deck meant that he can have a deck that was uniquely his, this satisfied the innate collection habits of the dwarfs, even if they were not as bad as the goblins.
When given a choice of “good cookie-cutter stuff”, or “good unique-to-you stuff”, anyone would choose the latter.
“Then get on it and finish it up!!”
Frostaxe was already a bit impatient, and he had not gone to other taverns in a very long time leading the younger dwarfs of his clan calling him old from time to time.
Now Frostaxe was about to tell them, using Hearthstone, why he was the grandpa.
“About that…. we have currently run into a problem, and I think we might need your help, Frostaxe.”
After feeling that he had drawn Frostaxe’s interest into Hearthstone deep enough, Joshua thought it was time to talk business.
More than half of the production of Originium Crystals were in the hands of the dwarfs, and this dwarven clans usually have set purchasers of their produces. Without any recommendations, it was very difficult for Joshua to get into the business.
Now Joshua already had a referer of his own, a very excellent one indeed, Hearthstone.
Excellent commodities were, after all, the most important thing for any investors.
