Chapter 42: The Return
Blackstone Ghetto, Ordinary District.
Bladesmith's Guild Branch.
The spacious and bright hall is full of people, with white knives at their waists, and the fierce swordsmiths gather to chat and chat, or line up at the counter, ready to hand over tasks and exchange supplies.
In the not very long line, a young man with a bulging backpack and a calm temperament was quite conspicuous, and many people were secretly looking at this young man with an unfamiliar face.
After more than ten minutes, Lin Ze finally arrived in line, he directly took off the backpack and put it on the counter, and the two staff members took the backpack and opened it with their hands and feet, and poured out the worm core to prepare for the inventory.
After a chaotic noise, there were suddenly three or four hundred worm cores on the wooden counter, which attracted many people's surprised eyes.
"There are 358 first-level worm cores and 14 second-level worm cores, a total of 498 merit points, do you want to exchange them for credits or other substances?"
"Credits. Lin Ze handed over the identity card.
"Okay!"
The staff took the identity card with both hands, dripped it on the sensor next to it, and when he looked at the computer screen again, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he looked up at Lin Ze in shock.
This man is a rookie apprentice swordsmith, and it's the first time he's gone out to hunt insects and beasts?
How can it be?
Not to mention the number of first-level insect cores, there are elite steel soldier insect cores in it! There is more than one! You must know that it is a second-level insect beast!
A rookie apprentice swordsmith actually killed 14 second-level insect beasts?
It can't be a system error, right?
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the staff looking hesitant and puzzled, Lin Ze asked lightly.
"No, nothing!" The staff and companions glanced at each other, tapped on the keyboard, and quickly completed the exchange, returning the identity card to Lin Ze, "It has been exchanged." ”
"Thank you. ”
Lin Ze bowed his head slightly, "In addition, I have a message to report, related to the ruins of C7 City, do you need to go through any process?"
"You can go to the room over there and wait, and we will notify a colleague to come and talk to you later!" the staff member unconsciously used honorifics.
Lin Ze thanked him, came to the room on the right side of the hall and waited, and checked the credit points in the identity card.
1 point of merit in the Knife Forger Guild can be exchanged for 10 credits, which means that his gain on this trip is a total of 4980 credits, which is equivalent to more than a month's salary of civilians in the ordinary area.
And that's just the takeaway of a novice trainee knife smith!
Although Lin Ze's strength is enough to compare to a third-level knife caster, the strong earning ability of the knife caster can be seen from this.
Just when his thoughts were flustered, the room was pushed open from the outside, and Pan Zongchang walked in, his eyes fell on Lin Ze, and said with a smile: "See you again." ”
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, just to report a news, and he needed to bother to the deacon of the guild?
As if he had guessed what Lin Ze was thinking, Pan Zongchang smiled and said, "I heard that you came to exchange supplies, so I wanted to meet you." ”
"What a harvest from your trip!"
While saying this, Pan Zongchang was also secretly shocked in his heart.
No wonder he was so surprised, it was really Lin Ze's performance that was too incredible, he had experienced alone, harvested hundreds of insect cores, and killed fourteen second-level insect beasts, any of which was enough to be called excellent on a novice apprentice swordsmith, not to mention that it was all concentrated on one person.
He couldn't help but ask, "You hunted all the worm cores alone?"
After the words fell, he hurriedly added, "I'm sorry, I'm not questioning you, it's just a little hard to believe!"
"It doesn't matter. ”
Lin Ze waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, "These are indeed what I hunted." ”
Seeing Lin Ze admit it in person, Pan Zongchang took a light breath without a trace, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said after consideration: "Lin Ze, you really don't think about becoming a core member of our guild, we can improve the benefits and treatment a little more." ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm sticking with my original idea. ”
"That's ......"
Pan Zongchang sighed secretly, and turned to the right color, "You said that there is news about the ruins of C7 City to report, what is it exactly?"
Lin Ze explained the experience of seeing the giant Tan worm, and after hearing this, Pan Zongchang couldn't help frowning and said: "It's really strange, I remember that I haven't seen the giant Tan worm for a long time near the settlement......
After a while, he bowed to Lin Ze and said, "Thank you for your report, we will send someone to investigate later, as a reward for providing information, and then we will transfer 1000 credits to your account!"
"I see, thank you!"
When leaving from the guild branch, Lin Ze accidentally bumped into an acquaintance.
"Su Rin!"
Hearing the voice, the girl with the ponytail turned her head in surprise, and when she saw that it was Lin Ze, she couldn't help but have a smile on her face.
"Have you passed the graduation assessment?" Lin Ze looked at Su Rin with a smile.
Since she was able to meet Su Rin in the guild hall, she had most likely become a trainee swordsmith and joined the Swordsmith Guild.
Sure enough, I saw Su Rin chuckling and said, "I just passed the assessment yesterday, and I came here today to receive supplies." ”
"Core members?"
"Yes. ”
"Congratulations!"
"Thank you!"
Su Rin pursed his lips, "The guild arranged a house for me, which happens to be near here, although it is not a neighbor, but if you have time in the future, you can also find me to learn sword skills." ”
At the mention of knife skills, Lin Ze suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "Your sword skills have broken through?"
He remembered that Su Rin had said that he planned to wait for his sword skills to improve before applying for the assessment.
"That's right. ”
Seeing Su Rin admit it calmly, Lin Ze couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
His sword skills have now been upgraded to Lv3, but when he thinks back to the sparring with Su Rin, he still feels far inferior to the other party in comparison, so Su Rin's knife skill level is likely to be Lv4, and now he has broken through again, that is Lv5, and the excellence of his talent is simply amazing.
In the world of "Wasteland Knife Language", the importance of sword skills is second only to the soul knife, and if Su Rin can get another high-level knife casting formula, then he can basically foresee a bright future in the future.
Without Lin Ze as a player, Su Rin would probably be the son of the plane of this world.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you got the recipe for casting knives?"
"Not yet. Su Rin shook his head and said, "The guild will have to investigate for a while longer, and then decide whether to give me the superior formula, at present, I can only absorb the steel attribute soul energy first." ”
"I see. Lin Ze was stunned, and couldn't help but think of the contract given to him by the guild and the chamber of commerce when he graduated before, there was no so-called inspection period on it, and it seemed that these two organizations were indeed very sincere.
While chatting, the two walked towards home, and when they passed Su Rin's new home, they also went in to meet Xiaojie Xiaowen, and after getting along some time ago, the two little guys and Lin Ze were already very familiar.
Leaving Su Rin's house, Lin Ze went straight home.
After only a day's rest and the purchase of food and water, he left the colony with his tactical backpack and headed out to hunt in the ruins of C7 City.
