Biography

Rebirth and White Jade City

Zhang Yang establishes a continuing commercial relationship with Mining Specialist, receiving stacks of Iron Plates through the mail and paying on delivery. After a gap in contact, the miner says they feared losing him to other sellers; Zhang Yang then orders Green Copper Bars for Level 2 Whetstones. Further deliveries support several days of crafting and eventually help Zhang Yang reach Advanced Smithing, making Mining Specialist a recurring supply-chain contact rather than an adventuring companion. (Chapters 38–44, 78–82, and 118)
