Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
On the square in front of the Wild Wolf Castle, at this moment, it is even more lively than the Civic Square of Black Flame City, Zhang Tie only glanced at it roughly, there are at least ** hundred people in the square now, boys and girls are gathered in piles, some are bargaining and trading things - most of them are exchanging food, the girls are exchanging some of the prey and meat that the boys get with all kinds of wild vegetables they pick, and some boys and girls form small teams, They are trying to get to know each other or introduce each other to the members of their group. At the same time, in Zhang Tie's eyes, there were dozens of animals who proudly displayed the strong muscles on their arms and patted their chests in a bunch of girls, and in order to bulge the poor biceps on their arms, some guys who didn't have much material were blushing one by one, causing a bunch of girls around them to cover their mouths and snicker.
This is also one of the most attractive aspects of this trial - as long as the man and the woman are willing, everyone is free to form a trial team to complete the trial together, except that the woman must return to the castle before eight o'clock in the evening, no one will interfere with the free formation of the team of men and women, of course, if you want to produce something else, no one will care. After several years of compulsory education in a co-educational school, in this trial, the school finally released this flood beast and let them toss it themselves. In addition to not using force and going against the woman's will, there is no bottom line for the interaction between the two parties. After all, these things for men and women, if they are small, they are other people's own affairs, and when they are big, they are the foundation of the human race, and they cannot be managed by anyone who wants to.
In this process of getting to know each other, the initiative is in the hands of the woman, and the animals can only do their best to attract the attention of the girl.
The more subtle took the opportunity of the two sides to exchange goods and food, and the thick-skinned ones rushed over to ask when they saw a bunch of girls, "Beauties, do you want to form a team, we are very strong, as long as you are with us, you can make sure that you have meat to eat every day!" Most of these guys will be met with a bunch of white eyes. And some guys who are lucky and strong, and know how to figure out women's hearts, directly brought their prey to the square, where they shouted to invite some girls to have dinner with them. The guys who use this last method have a high success rate.
After coming to the square for a while, Long Liexue saw a bunch of cattle from No. 2 Middle School carrying a killed wild boar, and came to the square with high spirits, playing the banner of inviting the girls to eat roast wild boar at night under the valley, and after a while, two teams of girls joined, and then the cattle of the No. 2 Middle School were like chicken blood, and the two teams of girls walked with the two teams of girls. Seeing this, Zhang Tie understood why the dead fat man Barry insisted on bringing a pot, needless to say, he must be ready to hang girls here in the back, when it comes to making food, the difference between having a pot and not having a pot is big. Everyone has to stay here for two months, even if you are strong and can hunt prey every day, it is estimated that few girls can stand to eat barbecue for two months in a row......
Zhang Tie seemed to see the smiling face of the dead fat man!
In addition to knowing each other, another role of this square is to show their own expertise and ability, in those things traded, Zhang Tie was surprised, only on the third day of the trial, someone has made some practical takeout, that is some mats woven with bamboo, medicine cages, pillows, and some stools made of wood and soup bowls and wooden pots and barrels and other things, practice is really the best standard to test talents, looking at those handmade products, Zhang Tie thought of the pride of the seventh national men, That senior brother of the Tiancai clan named Li Shizhen, I heard that that senior brother was originally an ordinary person in school, but he shined in the trial, showed his talent as a pill pharmacist, and continuously made several powerful potions to sell, which caused a sensation to everyone at once, and then soared into the sky. Therefore, for many schools, this trial is the most important time to decide the number of places recommended by the school.
If you've advanced to a powerful warrior, go and bring back the carcasses of those beasts......
If you have the talent of a pill pharmacist, then, make those magical pills and potions......
If you have a good hand and a special skill, then show what you can make......
Of course, if you are a wreck who does not even have the confidence to obtain food in the wild, then, go to mining and do coolies, as long as you have a lot of strength and can endure hardships, this trial will not let you starve to death, the social composition and division of labor of the human race always need some hard-working guys to do some work that others are not willing to do, not everyone can live in glory and flowers.
At the gate of the outer fort, there was a mission notice, and a small circle of people were watching there, some people looked at the task and shook their heads to leave, and some people were full of joy and eager to try......
Without much effort, Zhang Tie squeezed under the mission notice board and looked up at the notice that had obviously just been placed.
The first of the quest, the wolf castle is about to open a kiln to burn charcoal, and a lot of wood is needed in the short term, and those who have the strength but have not harvested any prey in a short time can go and get an axe, chop wood by themselves, and exchange firewood and wood for food. Guys who have enough confidence in charcoal burning technology can apply to join the charcoal burning team, and the charcoal burning method has been learned by everyone in school, which is not complicated, which provides a way for many people to live. But these two errands, again, have no honor to speak of, just to keep you alive or temporarily get through the difficulties for a few days.
Charcoal is burned, it is naturally used to make iron, and the charcoal kiln is opened, and there is an iron-smelting workshop in the wolf castle, the opening of the iron-smelting workshop, in addition to the need for charcoal, also needs iron ore and a lot of people who are confident in their own iron-smelting and iron-making skills, although iron-smelting and iron-striking are also technical jobs, but they are much more advanced than charcoal mining and the like. Those who really have the skills and skills in this area can just show off their skills.
The third item of the task was the news that the lime kiln for firing lime required a large number of manpower, and that lime was also an indispensable material in the later stage because of the need to produce a large number of animal skins.
There are still a few tasks behind, but Zhang Tie has no heart to read them......
After reading the task notice board, Zhang Tie did not stop, walked directly into the wolf castle, walked in from the castle gate, turned right more than 3o meters, and on a small square between the inner fort and the outer fort, Zhang Tie saw the small room with the sign of the integrated logistics management office, in front of the door of the house, there was a table, two girls sat behind the table, chattering about something, until Zhang Tie walked closer, the two girls raised their heads and glanced at Zhang Tie, 15-year-old Zhang Tie is not ugly, but not very handsome, Not short in stature, but not tall either, just pleasing to the eye and not annoying, the two girls looked at him and had no interest in looking at him, one of them asked Zhang Tie in a businesslike tone, "Is there anything I can help you with?" ”
"I'm here to get the pickaxe and the basket!" Zhang Tie said calmly.
"You're going to mine?" Zhang Tie's words surprised the two girls, and the two of them looked at Zhang Tie again, and the strange eyes had already explained a problem.
"Well, I haven't tried it before, and I think mining should be fun, so now I take the opportunity of this trial to experience what it's like to mine......" Zhang Tie said with a smile, not embarrassed at all, looking at Zhang Tie's hearty smile, the strange look in the eyes of the two girls was reduced a lot, and the two girls glanced at each other, as if to say, these boys really like to do some strange things.
"Okay, classmate, please bring your student number plate and let me register......"
Zhang Tie took off the metal number plate around his neck and handed it over, the number plate was one for each person when the school was enrolled, which was equivalent to the ID card of students in Heiyan City, and it was not used much, but in this trial, the school required everyone to bring the number plate, and Zhang Tie hung up the number plate. Among the animals, there is a saying that carrying a school number plate is convenient for the school to identify some unlucky fellow when he dies beyond recognition.
Registered the number on the school number plate, the girl returned the school number plate to Zhang Tie, "I want to remind you that the mine picks and baskets received here cannot be damaged, and they must be compensated according to the price after they are damaged, and after receiving them, at least 1oo kilograms of iron ore must be handed over every day, and the iron ore handed over can be exchanged for food, and the more you turn in, the more food you exchange, and the iron ore handed over for three consecutive days is less than this minimum amount, which means that you have lost your qualification to be a miner, and you must hand over the mine pickaxe and the mine basket!" ”
"Okay, is there anything else to look out for?"
"Do you know the location of those abandoned iron mines in Wolf Valley!"
"You know, the nearest one is less than two hundred meters below the castle!"
"Then there is no problem, and if you don't know how to distinguish iron ore, you can go to the iron smelting workshop over there to find out, there are a lot of iron ore samples over there!" The girl who spoke pointed in one direction in the small square of the outer fort.
"Okay!
At least 100 kilograms of iron ore per day, the requirements are very low, which makes Zhang Tie completely relieved, so that he has a lot of time to do other things, it seems that the profession of miner is really difficult to recruit, this amount of ore is completely prepared for those who are so hungry that they have nothing to eat to tide over the difficulties.
After explaining this, one of the girls turned around and walked into the warehouse next to her, and in less than half a minute, she took out a steel pickaxe and a basket, these two things seemed to have been cleaned in the past two days, and no one used them for a year, but it was not dirty at all, Zhang Tie threw the pickaxe into the basket, and then put the basket that was taller than a child on his back, thanked the two girls, waved his hand, and took his spear, and took this piece of equipment out of the wolf castle.
This piece of equipment really made everyone who met along the way look sideways.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the castle, Zhang Tie heard a strange voice beside him, "Oh, who is this freshly baked miner, isn't it the guy from our school?" ”
As soon as Zhang Tie turned his head, he saw a few of Grace's dog legs, looking at him with a condescending contempt, this is called the narrow road of the enemy......
