Chapter 8 Martial Arts Association
The sun sets in the west. Lin Bai looked at the sky and realized that it was too late. In addition, the light here is even darker than outside. If it's a little later, he won't be able to see the road clearly, and it's easy to get lost.
With his current strength, it was still dangerous to spend the night in the Misty Forest. So, he no longer hesitated. He collected some raw materials from the yak and walked in the direction of the town.
Wild boar is very hard. Although it has a slight pungent smell, it becomes very fragrant after being baked in a special way, whether it is fried or grilled. This will increase the appetite.
In addition, it can quickly replenish stamina, which is very popular among mercenaries.
Not to mention the yak, which is full of treasures. Even its bones can be utilized. Lin Bai estimated that he could sell it for a lot of money, and this trip would definitely not be a loss.
At this time, the sun has not completely set. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the city wall, as if it had been plated with a faint golden light. The market is still bustling with cries and demands.
"High quality black fox fur. Don't miss it when you pass by. This is the best material for making robes! ”
"Immortal Tiger Whip Wine. I promise you'll want more! ”
"Detox pills, strength pills, healing powders, all kinds of pills. It is a must-have item for families and travel. The price is fair and honest. ”
As soon as Lin Bai put the wild boar and raging yak ingredients on the table, someone came over to ask for the price. His method of peeling is clean and complete. Soon, the deal was struck. Then, all the bones, horns, and other bits and pieces were also bought.
In total, he earned five thousand crystals.
With money in hand, Lin Bai did not panic. He went straight to the store and wanted to buy a basic storage backpack. Not only is it easy to carry, but it also doesn't take up space.
He had too little to hold in his hands. If he has a storage bag, he can hold more prey.
However, basic storage bags can only store very little stuff. If he can make do with it now, he can change to a more advanced one in the future. Even so, looking at the price behind him, Lin Bai couldn't help but smack his tongue.
"It's too expensive. Why don't you go and rob someone? ”
It's just a primary storage bag, but it's already 7,000 to 8,000 crystals. He didn't make enough money just now. If it's a higher-level item like a storage ring, that's probably astronomical.
"Hello, a total of 6000 crystals. After the discount, it will be 5400 crystals. ”
Just when Lin Bai felt pity, he suddenly heard the clerk next to him counting the bill. He immediately asked, puzzled, "Can I get a discount on my purchases?"
"Absolutely. He is an ordinary member of the Wushu Association. He can get a 10% discount. If he's a premium member, he can get a six-percent discount! ”
Lin Bai had a thoughtful expression on his face. He also plans to participate. After the discount, he can afford to buy basic storage bags. In addition, he can save some money when buying things in the future.
He hurried out of the store and towards the Martial Arts Association. There are still many people who take the exam. When Lin Bai walked over, there was already a long queue.
"If you want to become a member of the Wushu Association, you need to take an exam. You need to pay a registration fee of 3000 crystals. If you pass, then you are your own person, and you can return it. If it fails, no refund will be given. ”
3,000 crystals isn't too much, but it's not too little either. The main reason is to prevent some people from trying to cheat by passing the exam, wasting time and manpower.
"The test focuses on three areas: strength, speed and skill."
"That is, sheer power, speed and skill. The content of the test will be randomly selected. ”
This is also to raise the bar and prevent those who pass the test from notifying others and prevent others from taking advantage of the situation.
Lin Bai did not hesitate to pay the money to register his name. With his current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to pass the initial test.
The rest of the queue didn't hesitate either. Soon, everyone picked their own test subjects.
"The one who chose the number one, please follow me."
Soon, several men dressed in blue walked out. Judging by their appearance, they are supposed to be waiters. There was a faint pressure between their brows. They should be innate.
Lin Bai is the first place. At the same time, more than a dozen people came out of the large team and followed the officers to the training ground of the association.
The place is very spacious. At first glance, there is no other decoration. There are only a few dozen targets at a distance of 100 meters. Lin Bai had already guessed the content of the assessment.
As expected, the flight attendant said:
"The subject of assessment is strength. At the same time, you need to control your accuracy. This is not an ordinary target, but is made of the hardest black iron. All you have to do is hit the bullseye and pierce it! ”
After the waiter explained the rules, he motioned for everyone to begin. It wasn't a stone that was handed to everyone, but a dull piece of wood.
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded. The wood chips are light and not sharp. It can't even scrape off iron filings, let alone penetrate black iron.
Immediately, someone shouted dissatisfiedly, "Do you want us to use this for testing?"
On the other hand, Lin Bai calmly picked up the piece of wood. The octane explosion began to circulate on its own, and all the spiritual power in his body poured into several major acupuncture points on his wrist.
"Huh!"
The sound of a sharp wooden blade cutting through the air rang in everyone's ears. At the same time, a small piece of wood pierced the bull's-eye a hundred miles away, directly through the bull's-eye.
The bullseye made of black iron shattered into pieces in an instant.
Everyone was dumbfounded. They can't believe what they're seeing. Black iron is the strongest material. It would be difficult for a normal weapon to penetrate it, let alone a small piece of wood.
As soon as Lin Bai put down his hand, he received everyone's enthusiastic gaze. The waiter's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Congratulations on your success!"
The others looked at each other speechlessly. After all, just because Lin Bai could do it, he thought too much about it.
The piece of wood is light. Just because they use force doesn't mean they can do it.
Lin Bai calmly walked out of the examination room for the next exam. He didn't notice the resentful gaze behind him.
Seeing that he could do this so easily gave one a little more hope. Maybe it's not as difficult as they think. However, when they actually start trying, they find that the original degree is not enough, and they will drop in half. Even if the strength is sufficient, because there are no sharp edges and corners, being able to sink an inch or two into the bullseye is already the limit, let alone pierce the bull's-eye.
They became more and more impressed by Lin Bai's actions just now. They don't know how he did it.
The strength test alone has eliminated a lot of people.
"Congratulations on passing your first test. Now for the second test. I hope you will continue to work hard. ”
Lin Bai looked at the piece of paper in his hand. It says "speed".
Following the leader, they came to an empty hall... He couldn't help but wonder what this exam would be like.
