People were coming and going in the spacious and bright hall, with white knives slung around their waists. The swordsmiths with strong auras were either gathering together to laugh and chat, or queuing up in front of the counter, preparing to hand over tasks and exchange supplies.
In the not-so-long queue, a young man with a bulging backpack and a calm temperament stood out. Many people secretly looked at this young man with an unfamiliar face.
More than ten minutes later, Lin Ze was finally in line. He took off his backpack and placed it on the counter. Two staff members quickly took the backpack, opened it, and poured out the insect cores to prepare for counting.
After a loud crashing sound, three to four hundred insect cores suddenly appeared on the wooden counter, attracting many people to look at them in surprise.
"There are 358 first-level insect cores and 14 second-level insect cores, a total of 498 merit points. Do you want to exchange them for credit points or other materials?" The two staff members quickly completed the count.
"Credit points." Lin Ze handed over his identity card.
"OK!"
The staff member took the ID card with both hands and put a drop of it on the sensor next to it. When he looked at the computer screen, his eyes widened and he looked up at Lin Ze in shock.
Is this person a new apprentice swordsmith? This is his first time hunting insects and beasts?
How is that possible?
Not to mention such a large number of first-level insect cores, there is an elite steel soldier insect insect core in it! There are more than one! You must know that it is a second-level insect beast!
A new apprentice swordsmith actually killed 14 level two insect beasts?
Is there something wrong with the system?
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the hesitant and confused look on the staff's face, Lin Ze asked lightly.
"No, it's nothing!" The staff member and his companion looked at each other, tapped on the keyboard, quickly completed the exchange, and returned the identity card to Lin Ze, "It has been exchanged."
"Thanks."
Lin Ze nodded lightly, "Also, I have news to report, which is related to the ruins of C7 city. Is there any process that needs to be followed?"
"You can go to the room over there and wait. We will notify our colleagues to come and discuss with you later!" The staff unconsciously used honorifics.
Lin Ze thanked him, went to the room on the right side of the hall to wait, and checked the credits on his identity card.
One point of merit in the Swordsmith Guild can be exchanged for 10 credit points, which means that his harvest from this trip is a total of 4980 credit points, which is equivalent to more than a month's salary of ordinary people in the area.
And this is just what a novice apprentice swordsmith gains from one outing!
Although Lin Ze's strength is comparable to that of a third-level swordsmith, the earning power of a swordsmith can be seen from this.
Just as his thoughts were swirling, the room was pushed open from the outside. Pan Zongchang walked in, his eyes fell on Lin Ze, and he smiled: "We meet again."
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. He was just reporting a piece of news. Does he need to bother the guild's deacons to intervene?
As if he 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 you gained from this trip is not small!"
While saying this, Pan Zongchang was also secretly shocked deep in his heart.
No wonder he was so surprised, Lin Ze's performance was really incredible. He practiced alone, harvested hundreds of insect cores, and killed fourteen second-level insect beasts. Any of these would be considered a novice apprentice swordsmith.
It's enough to be called excellent, let alone if it's all concentrated in one person.
He couldn't help but ask: "Did you hunt all the insect cores by yourself?"
After finishing his words, he hurriedly added, "Sorry, I'm not questioning you, it's just that it's a bit 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 admitting it himself, Pan Zongchang took a deep breath without leaving any trace, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said after careful consideration: "Lin Ze, if you really don't consider becoming a core member of our guild, we can give you more benefits and treatment."
Improve it."
"Sorry, I still stick to my original idea."
"That's it"
Pan Zongchang sighed secretly, then turned to say seriously, "You said there is news about the ruins of C7 city that you want to report. What is it specifically?"
Lin Ze explained how he saw the giant tank worm. After listening, Pan Zongchang couldn't help frowning and said: "It's really strange. I remember that I haven't seen a giant tank worm near the settlement area for a long time."
After a moment, he nodded to Lin Ze and said: "Thank you for your report. We will send people to investigate later. As a reward for providing information, we will transfer 1,000 credits into your account later!"
"I understand, thank you!"
When leaving the guild branch, Lin Ze accidentally bumped into an acquaintance.
"Su Lin!"
Hearing the sound, the girl with a ponytail turned around in surprise, and when she saw it was Lin Ze, a smile appeared on her face.
"Did you pass the graduation exam?" Lin Ze looked at Su Lin with a smile.
Since she could meet Su Lin in the guild hall, she must have become an apprentice swordsmith and joined the swordsmith guild.
As expected, Su Lin chuckled and nodded: "I just passed the test yesterday and came here to collect the supplies today."
"Core members?"
"Yes."
"Congratulations!"
"Thanks!"
Su Lin pursed her lips and said, "The guild has arranged a house for me, which happens to be nearby. Although we are not neighbors, you can also discuss sword skills with me when you are free in the future."
When mentioning sword skills, Lin Ze suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "Have you achieved a breakthrough in sword skills?"
He remembered that Su Lin said that he planned to wait until his sword skills improved to a higher level before applying for the assessment.
"That's right."
Seeing Su Lin admitting it frankly, Lin Ze couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
His sword skill has now reached lv3, but looking back on his sparring with Su Lin, he still feels far inferior to his opponent in comparison. So Su Lin's sword skill level is probably lv4, and now it has broken through again, that is
At level 5, his talent is simply astonishing.
In the world of "Wasteland Swordsman", the importance of sword skills is second only to the soul knife. If Su Lin can get another advanced knife-making formula, he can basically foresee a bright future.
Without Lin Ze as a player, Su Lin would probably be the son of the plane in this world.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Have you got the knife-making formula?"
"Not yet." Su Lin shook his head and said, "The guild will continue to investigate for a while before deciding whether to give me the superior formula. At present, I can only absorb the steel attribute soul energy first."
"I see." Lin Ze understood, and couldn't help but think of the contract given to him by the Guild and the Chamber of Commerce when he graduated. There was no so-called inspection period in it. It seemed that these two organizations were indeed sincere.
While chatting, the two walked towards their home. When they passed by Su Lin's new home, they went in to meet Xiaojie and Xiaowen. After getting along with each other some time ago, the two little guys were already very familiar with Lin Ze.
After leaving Su Lin's home, Lin Ze went straight home.
After only resting for a day and purchasing food and water, he left the settlement with a tactical backpack and went hunting in the ruins of C7 city.
