Three months later, the demon graduated from the formation class with a score of ten points in the formation class, and was admitted to the first-level formation mage and obtained the certificate. The teacher also wrote a letter of introduction recommending the demon to study in the county school.

Before going to the county seat, the demon returned to Caizhuang. I found that my peers were plowing the fields and sowing seeds, that is, marrying wives and having children, and passing on the family lineage. But the demon is very disdainful, the world is big, I want to go out and see. After all, the demon has been reading books for more than a year and has its own ideals and ambitions.

The demon returned to the shack where he had lived for ten years, and knew that it was time to leave it, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart. The demon moved away from the 300-pound stone, and found that there were 500 taels of silver tickets in it, as well as a book of luck spirits, a total of three books of luck and spirit. There is also a note left by Zhao Laosan to the demon: "This book of luck is still not suitable for you." Take it for exchange or trade, don't practice. You have to hold it. ”

The demon took everything and left a note: "Thank you, uncle." I graduated from county school and went to the county school. ”

The demon counts his assets.

The uncle gave him a total of 750 taels of silver tickets and three books of Yunjing Gongfa.

A jade plaque that he stole from a thief, a sachet and a silk handkerchief. One formation instrument, two intermediate formation books.

There are also intangible assets, one is a first-level array mage certificate, and one is a first-level forging and forging certificate.

The demon left ten taels of silver and put it in his breast pocket, and with one pocket he packed up the rest of the things, tied them firmly around his waist, and covered them with clothes.

The demon looked at the shack where he had lived for more than ten years, said goodbye to it in his heart, "waved his hand and resigned," and embarked on the road to the county seat. The demon didn't carry a hundred catties of dried fish when he entered the city this time. In the past, the demon was a hillbilly, but now the demon has read books and has the dignity of a reader.

"There are many county towns than county seats. The demon sighed. But without dazzling, the demon already knew the meaning of Tarzan's collapse and the same color.

The demon asked a few kind old ladies and figured out the way to the county school. In front of the academy, the doorman blocked the demon. The demon handed over the letter of introduction, and the doorman took the letter and shook it in front of his eyes, just to make a show, the doorman was illiterate, so he returned it to the demon and allowed the demon to enter. The demon casually learned about the situation of the school.

There is a fee for this school, five or two a month, but the scholarship is good, and if you have good grades, you can still earn it. The children of the aristocracy, the poor, and the rich are all collected, and there is no discrimination. Accommodation is provided at your own expense, the better the more expensive. As for whether the student attends class or not, it doesn't matter, it just depends on whether you pay the money and pass the exam.

The demon first signed up and then found the logistics teacher, and chose a quiet, not easy to be disturbed in a single room, 5 taels of silver a month, the same as tuition, so black-hearted, it's not easy to study, and the poor really can't afford to go to school.

The demon learned the lessons of the past, and the house he rented when he was in the county school was a bit noisy, which affected the demon to practice the method of concentrating essence, refining the essence method, and transporting the essence of the whole body. There was a disturbance that caused him to go crazy, but fortunately it was not serious and he recovered quickly. The demon feels that in this housing, no matter how expensive it is, it can't be saved, after all, there is only one small life.

The demon spent half a month feeling and familiarizing himself with the life of the county school.

The demon is still in the martial arts class, and the martial arts class is still divided into cultural classes, physique classes, team battle classes, and formation classes. However, the required score has changed.

Cultural class: 10 out of 10, 6 points to pass, the demon is not interested after listening to the lecture. On the contrary, I was full of praise for a geography teacher and a history teacher in the literature class, and felt that the teacher's level was very good, and I was very interested in listening to it, and I wanted to listen to it every day. The demon finally understood what Wei Wushu was, Zhao Laosan had talked about Wei Wushu before, and the demon was too young to understand, but he just remembered it. If you don't understand it for the time being, memorize it by rote and understand it later.

"Xunzi Yibing Chapter" said: "Wei Zhiwu's soldiers take it by degree, the armor of the three genera, the crossbow of the twelve stones, the negative arrow is fifty, the crown is on it, the crown is with a sword, and the food for three days is won, and the day is in the middle of the day and tends to a hundred miles." The pilot test will restore the household and benefit the farmland. ”

The demon thought to himself: "The soldiers are all dressed in three layers of heavy armor and iron helmets, can fire a heavy crossbow of twelve stones, each of them carries fifty crossbows, holds a long ge or halberd, a belt and a sword, carries three days' worth of food, and can walk more than a hundred miles in half a day." According to this criterion, this criterion can only be described as high and terrible, how many people can meet this standard, the total population of Wei at that time did not exceed 3 million. In an era of frequent wars, the number of adult men was less than the number of women of the corresponding age, and the number of men over 60 and under 14 years old was removed, and a maximum of 1 million adult men could be left to choose from. ”

"Wu Qi has mastered a set of quick methods suitable for soldiers, so that he can cultivate so many soldiers who meet this standard in a short period of time. And with one hand, the other generals of Wei did not grasp the essence of this quick method. After Wu Qi was squeezed out, the level of the new Wei soldiers trained by other Wei generals could not reach the level of the old Wei soldiers trained by Wu Qi, and there was a huge difference in the level between the new and old Wei soldiers; as the old Wei soldiers gradually died in battle and were disabled and discharged, the quality and combat level of the entire Wei army declined by a large margin, and the Wei soldiers disappeared into the long river of history. ”

"The selection criteria, the allocation of weapons and equipment, the rules and regulations of the army, the reward system, and the supply system are all clearly laid out, and anyone can understand and copy them. The demise of Wei Wushu is not due to money, 50,000 Wei Wushu can't afford to support it, but 10,000 Wei Wushu can be supported. If I were the king of Wei, I would have to make up the money to support Wei Wushu if I drank porridge every day. Only the training method can be left in one hand, and the personnel involved in the training only know what it is, but do not know why it is, and can only get the surface but not the essence. Just like some masters teach their apprentices, they don't teach them with one or a few hands, or they don't wake up their apprentices in key places and let them go the wrong way. These situations are very common. ”

"Wu Zi's Art of War: Governing the Army": Wu Zi said: "Mrs. (dang) [often] dies what she can't do, and it is inconvenient to defeat it." Therefore, the method of using soldiers: teaching Rong first. One person learns warfare and teaches 10 people, 10 people learn warfare and teaches 100 people, 100 people learn warfare and teach 1,000 people, 1,000 people learn warfare and teach 10,000 people, and 10,000 people learn warfare and teach 30,000 armies. (1) Treat the near and far, wait for the labor, and wait for the hungry with the full. (2) Round and square, sit and get up, stop and stop, left and right, front and back, divide and combine, knot and dissolve. Every change is a habit, and it is a soldier. (3) It is for the sake of the general. ”

The demon believed: "(1) The training of tens of thousands of people, Wu Qi is too busy alone, so he uses the graded training system, which can increase the relationship between officers and soldiers, and Wu Qi is not so tired, he just doesn't say it explicitly." However, there is a disadvantage of this system, that is, the quality of the trained personnel is not as good as the first level. (2) This is a clergyman who obeys military rules and behaves in accordance with the law. (3) To conduct formation drills, we must have a sense of cooperation. This passage is not to train the basic combat ability of the individual of the non-commissioned officer. ”

As long as there are geography and history lessons taught by these two teachers, the demons will run to listen to them when they find time. The demon feels that the six points in the cultural class are still sure, and he is satisfied if he passes. The demon doesn't want to be a school bully.

Physical fitness class: 20 points out of 20, 12 points to pass. After listening to a few lectures, the demon felt that there was nothing new, and the key was to practice by himself. Every night, I practice the method of concentrating essence, refining the essence method, and moving the essence method of the whole body, melting and exploding. If you don't have a problem passing, you don't want to take physical fitness classes.

Team Combat Class: 20 points out of 20, 12 points to pass. The demon feels that passing is not a problem, but it is not easy to get a high score, and it is necessary to find a reliable partner and cooperate tacitly. The county school brings together the talents of the whole county, not the county school can be compared, the demon can no longer rush around like a cow like before, walk sideways, and it is impossible to meet pig teammates, and those who can go to the county school to study have a certain IQ. The demon feels that this is not in a hurry, or his own strength is the last word, and no one wants to find a garbage to be a teammate. So in the team battle class, the demon doesn't want to take it.

Formation class: full score of 30 points, divided into three parts, 10 points for each part, 6 points to pass. This is a demon professional class.

Part 1: Learn and make the materials used in the formation. There are two kinds of array materials, one is to use local materials, and the other is to be professionally made and has a wide range of adaptability, which can be carried around, and can strengthen the power of the formation and the speed of the formation. Because it has been prepared for a long time, it can be used when you take it. The demon is a first-class forger, and the manufacture of materials made of alloy is the heart of the hand. Students can cooperate with each other on this manufacturing material, because the materials required can be said to be strange, as long as the students can master some of them, they are considered qualified. This part of the content of the demon demon feels that there is no pressure to pass.

Part 2: "Learning and Becoming Proficient in the Use of a Formation Instrument and Making a Simple Formation Instrument." "All kinds of formation instruments, including different sizes, powers, and styles of formation instruments, the principle of making them, and the use of them are the same. It's just that some of the formation instruments are ordinary goods, some have aura, and some are treasures, resulting in a very different power. The demon has long been proficient in using the formation instrument that was obtained from the thief, but he has never experienced making the formation instrument. This is something to focus on.

Part 3: "Keeping a pet." There is no limit to the type of pet, any animal or plant can be, and if you don't die, you can pass. "The demon didn't think it was strange, the formation mage has a lot of pets, and it can be said that if you don't have pets, you can't become a qualified formation mage.

Uncle Zhao doesn't have a pet and is not a qualified array mage. Uncle Zhao said that he only knew the surface of the formation, and he was really not modest. The role of the pet is the same as that of the array mage, and it is a standard equipment that must be equipped as a formation mage.

The demon thought, "What are you raising? It's hard to eat, drink, and lazar every day, and it's not good to run around all day long, which affects my practice of concentrating essence, refining essence, and transporting essence throughout my body. It's not easy to take a plant out, it's out of the soil, the water can't live, and the use is limited. The next step is definitely to learn to build a harmonious relationship with your pet and communicate with it. This one is a bit difficult, and my head is getting bigger, so I didn't come up with it. No matter what, let's see what the students raise, and then listen to the teacher's opinion before deciding. Pet lessons still have to be listened to, and it is still beneficial to understand the characteristics and breeding of various pets.

The county has a large number of scholars, and branches of the association have been established in various majors. Students are required to belong to at least one association. The association will provide some resources for students to practice their skills. The demon did not hesitate to join the Casting and Forging Association. Other association demons gave up, some didn't like it, some liked it but had to give up. The demon is not a superman, after all, talent and energy are limited, and the truth that only by concentrating forces can the enemy be annihilated.

The Casting and Forging Association has more than 60 students. There are twelve first-class casters and forgers, and the rest are not certified. One is the second-level caster, and the teacher is the president, and the two vice presidents are senior students and first-class casters.

The academy also hosts a variety of competitions that offer decent prize money to the winners. There are a variety of competitions every month. There are also fights, but the rules of the game are strict. No weapons are allowed, no hitting any part of the head (including not inserting eyes, picking out nose droppings), no kicking in the crotch, no choking of the neck, no use of acupoints, and participants must wear standard armor.

The demon thought to himself, "This is understandable. The school is not an arena, the people participating in the competition are all classmates, and some of the students are the children of famous lords, once the scene gets out of control, there are deaths and injuries, this school is not opened, and the teacher and the principal go directly to prison. In a fight, a miss will result in death or injury. Even a master can't control it just right, especially these students. After all, this is an academy, not an arena, and it is normal for there to be dead and injured in the arena. "I'm learning the art of killing, which is to knock my opponent down as quickly as possible, no matter the means or the method, whether it is life or death, although the prize money in this kind of competition is good, but it is not for me. And playing this kind of game is time-consuming, and the gains outweigh the losses. At the moment, it is important to work hard to improve your own strength. ”

The demon decided to put the practice of casting and forging in the first place, and strive to upgrade the second-level casting and forging master as quickly as possible, so that he could earn money and earn credits in the production of the formation instrument. After all, making money is the king, only with money can you have a house, only with a woman, can you buy good equipment, you can skip the level to fight monsters, and you can grab the prize money of the game.

Rent a casting and forging workshop for a month, 3 taels of silver. Consumables are at their own expense, and the school offers discounts to students based on market prices. Unlicensed casters and forgers are 9% off, first-level casters and forgers are 8% off, and second-level casters and forgers are 7% off.

The school takes the goods at the wholesale price, and even if it is discounted to students, it will be profitable. The goblin didn't have time to bother with this. The market price, even the retail price, is generally about double the wholesale price.

The demon lives a four-point life in the school every day. Canteens, dormitories, classrooms, the Foundry Association, and the Foundry and Forging Association.

If the demon doesn't understand, if you don't understand, ask the teacher who has a second-level casting and forging certificate, and then go back to the casting and forging room you rent to practice your experience. Ten days later, the demon forged his first qualified alloy, which was forged by accident, but the demon was still excited for a long time, after all, it was the first time. After another five days, the second, third, and fourth pieces were forged... After another five days, the demon increased the success rate of casting and forging alloy to 70%, and the demon felt very excited and more confident.

It took a total of forty-three days, and the demon learned thirty alloy production methods, and the success rate was between 70 and 85 percent. The demon thought to himself: "I have passed the assessment of the second-level casting and forging master first, and it is the king to get the certificate of the second-level casting and forging master to make money." In order to practice the casting and forging skills, I only have more than 20 taels of silver left, and I am about to lose money and cannot afford to eat.

The demon told the president of the school forging association that he wanted to take the second-level casting and forging master's idea, and he was also a teacher and an old acquaintance that the demon often bothered and consulted. Since the school cannot preside over the examination, it is necessary to go to the casting and forging association in the county town to take the examination. The demon submitted the application, and it was approved in two days. Because there are very few people who submit the second-level casting and forging master assessment in a year, and they are in the same county, which is convenient.

The next day, the teacher of the Foundry and Forging Association of the school took the demon to the county Casting and Forging Association to take the exam. The examiners are the three presidents of the County Forge Association. President Zhang Qiubo, a third-level casting and forging master, is over 40 years old. The second vice president, the second-class caster, is nearly forty years old. The teachers of the school's Forge and Forge Association and the three presidents are old acquaintances, and they joke with each other when they meet.

The candidate is the only demon. Because every year, there are about 20 people in the county who apply for the second-level casting and forging examination, and the pass rate is generally about half, and each person can only take the exam once a year. The association regards the examination of the second-level caster as the biggest thing, and tries its best to provide convenience for the candidates. Who wouldn't want to have more second-level forgers in their association. Therefore, although there is only one demon in the candidate, the County Forge and Forge Association also attaches great importance to it and immediately arranges the assessment.

The demon forging master assessment went smoothly, and the examination process was like a regular practice.

In the afternoon of the next day, although there was only one demon, the ceremony of awarding the certificate was still to be held, to show respect for a second-class forger, and the forgers association added another capable leader.

The demon was wearing the second-level forging work clothes issued by the Foundry and Forging Association, which was a representative of the identity of the Foundry and Forging Association, which looked a little funny. The clothes are a little longer and a little wider, and the demon is not yet fully developed.

Zhang Qiubo, president of the County City Casting and Forging Association, held the certificate in front of the demon with a serious face and said, "Congratulations, Cai Demon Demon Second-level Casting and Forging Master." ”

The demon bent down slightly, respectfully accepted the certificate with both hands, and replied: "Thank you, teacher, thank you, thank you, thank you association." "The ceremony is over.

The president of the County City Forge Association said kindly to the demon, "Demon Cai, you have obtained this name well." What a demon, you're the youngest second-level forger in the history of our county. Continue to work hard and become the youngest Grade 3 and 4 forgers. There are very few senior casters and forgers, sought-after goods, very profitable, both promising and immeasurable, and the money is money.

"I have a blacksmith shop in the county town, would you like to help me?" Zhang Qiubo, the president, is an old fritter and speaks very reservedly.

"No problem. The demon replied immediately, leaving contact information with the presidents.

The three presidents, the demon demon, and the demon teacher, chatted again, and then said goodbye to each other.

The demon can be fifteen years old and be admitted to the second-level casting and forging master, which is the result of chance, talent, and personal hard work. Becoming a senior caster is the most difficult of all technician majors, and it is also the most popular. The requirements of a forger are very high, and physique, strength, accuracy, endurance, and coordination of the body are all essential. The children of famous nobles can learn the method of gathering essence, refining the method of refining essence, and melting explosive energy from an early age, but the vast majority of them are unwilling to choose a casting and forging master as their profession, and there are better choices, such as hereditary officials. Most of the children of rich families think that casting and forging is rough work, dirty work, and smoke is smoked, and it is only the inferior people who do it, because after a day of casting and forging, the casting and forging master is stinky and sweaty, and his face is black and white, which affects his image and has no face in front of beautiful women.

In any era, it is necessary to have a skill in hand in order to have no worries about food and clothing; if you cannot become an official, you must become a technician, that is, you must learn a craft, which is the consensus of the whole society. Although the children of the common people are willing to learn casting and forging, it is impossible to practice the method of concentrating essence, refining the method of refining essence, melting explosive energy, and it is mainly physique and strength that is difficult, and they have to eat a lot of meat and food since they were young. You need to eat meat to build muscle. If poor families can't provide it, their muscle development will be affected, and they won't be able to gain strong strength and sustained endurance, and physical endurance will affect accuracy, and they can't see it, feel it, and reach it with their hands. Without these foundations, it is difficult to upgrade to a high-level forger, and you can only get stuck on a level 2 forger for the rest of your life. That's the chance.
