If you don't enter Lingtian Court, you can't be considered as practicing in Qianlong Hall - this is what Zhang Su said to Zhang Tie after leaving the island dragon cave yesterday.
After returning yesterday, Zhang Tie could no longer remember the chaotic scene during dinner at the Zhixingyuan restaurant. Originally, when Zhang Tie appeared in the restaurant, those in the Zhixingyuan who knew that Zhang Tie had condensed the iron-blooded fighting spirit in one day The boys and girls were already in confusion. What was even more confusing was that a large number of senior brothers from Lingtianyuan rushed to Zhixingyuan, shouting as if they were looking for aliens - Where is Zhang Tie, the man who condensed in one day? Where is Zhang Tie, who showed his iron-blooded fighting spirit and whose fighting spirit totem was tens of meters high, causing a sensation in the entire Qianlong Island
Such a large number of people rushed into Zhixingyuan, and Zhixingyuan immediately turned into a vegetable market, but it was not over yet. Then, a lot of guys from Lingtianyuan rushed in aggressively, and the people who rushed down behind them Then he shouted - Where is that liar Zhang Tie? Where is that liar Zhang Tie? How could someone condense the iron-blooded fighting spirit in one day and want to deliberately trick us into losing money, right? No, we have to confirm...
What finally brought this farce to an end was when Zhang Tie once again released his fighting spirit totem—the bloody flag—in Zhixingyuan!
When the terrifying big spider in the terrifying battle qi totem, which was more than ten times taller than the ordinary war qi totem and forty to fifty meters high, appeared behind Zhang Tie and enveloped the entire Lingtian Courtyard, the whole world became quiet...
Everyone raised their heads, looking at the battle spirit totem that appeared behind Zhang Tie with various expressions such as obsession, envy, jealousy, fear, shock, confusion, etc. - Damn it, is this still a human being
Although this is suspected of showing off, Zhang Tie found that showing off occasionally is indeed beneficial to physical and mental health. Especially looking at the expressions on the faces of the girls in Zhixingyuan, Zhang Tie felt extremely happy. Let's see how I deal with you little girls in the future...
This was the last night Zhang Tie spent in Zhixingyuan.
The next morning, although it was only a short distance, as Zhang Tie's friend in Zhixingyuan. Zhang Keliang and Wei Wu still insisted on sending Zhang Tie to Lingtian Court.
"If I had known, I would have put more gold coins on you?" When several people said goodbye to Zhang Tie, Wei Wu said in annoyance, "Who would have thought that you are such a perverted guy, condensing the iron-blooded fighting spirit is like drinking It’s as simple as water!”
"By the way, how much money have you put on me?" Zhang Tie asked Zhang Keliang.
"I pressed 28 gold coins, Yun Fei pressed 2 gold coins and 36 silver coins, Hong Sheng pressed 13 gold coins and 79 silver coins. This guy Wei Wu only pressed 11 gold coins, hahahaha..." Zhang Keliang said boldly Smiling, everyone was happy because they won money.
After hearing these words, Zhang Tie said nothing, but was secretly moved in his heart. After staying with a few people for several months, Zhang Tie certainly knew that this time, brothers Zhang Keliang, Zhang Yunfei, and Zhang Hongsheng had put all their accumulated wealth on themselves to support themselves. Although Wei Wu is a bit smooth-talking, the money he can offer is roughly thirteen or four gold coins. Think about the hardships these brothers have to make money by salvaging aquamarine iron ore in the sea with him and their Supporting him without hesitation, a warm current surged in Zhang Tie's heart.
Zhang Tie didn't say anything, he just hugged a few people tightly and said, "I'm waiting for you in Lingtian Courtyard!"
"It's coming soon. I'll be at level six in two months. Then I have to gather my fighting spirit..." Zhang Keliang smiled, "Hong Sheng and Xiao Wu are already at level five, and Yun Fei is at level four and will soon be at level five." , we will see you again in Lingtian Courtyard soon!"
"After arriving at Lingtianyuan, I already have a plan that will allow us to make a lot of money. We don't have to do anything to keep it, and money will roll in every day..." Wei Wu said thiefly.
"Oh, what is it?" Zhang Yunfei asked curiously. Even Zhang Tie couldn't help but turn his attention to Wei Wu. Wei Wu had a lot of clever ideas. Could it be possible that he could really come up with something just last night. After listening to Zhang Su's introduction to the situation in Lingtian Courtyard, Zhang Tie was already thinking about how to make money in Lingtian Courtyard.
"The plan is very simple. We go to several towns and build a large circus-like shed that can accommodate hundreds of people. We sell tickets for ten silver coins per person. We perform three performances a day and we can make a lot of money!"
"Are you going to juggle? If you go to perform, I guess there will be people watching for just one copper!" Zhang Hongsheng said sarcastically from the side.
"Of course it's not me, hey... hey... Who has seen the totem of iron-blooded fighting spirit that is forty or fifty meters high? When the time comes, just pull Zhang Tie out and sneak around, let him use his fighting totem, and let those who have not It's an eye-opener for those who have seen it. Do you think anyone who comes to Qianlong Island will be stingy with the ten silver coins for the ticket? Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely go and see it. This could be turned into Qianlong Island. It's a tourism project..." Wei Wu chuckled, "Just last night, I even thought about how to shout out the advertising slogans, cough... cough... Don't miss it if you are passing by, young and old, we wave Tears and blood sale, for only ten silver coins, you can experience it up close and see the top-level iron-blooded fighting spirit totem that is forty or fifty meters high. Come and take a look. Come and take a look... "
Amidst Wei Wu's funny shouting, Zhang Tie tried to give him a kick on the butt. Wei Wu jumped away with a smile, and several friends separated while joking with each other.
Looking at the backs of several friends, Zhang Tie really seriously considered the feasibility of Wei Wu's joke, and then smiled and shook his head. If he dared to do this, then Zhang Tie was sure that he would not be able to do it otherwise. How long will it take for him to be beaten to a pulp by the killers sent by the Norman Empire? Using the secrets of the royal family of the Norman Empire as a sideshow to make money, is that too long for his life
After taking a deep breath, Zhang Tie turned around and walked towards the middle castle of Qianlong Hall.
The middle castle of Qianlongtang is located halfway up the mountain. The entire castle is more than 70 meters high and is entirely made of hard black steel rock. It is a whole circle larger than the lower castle and looks more majestic and elegant than the Wild Wolf Castle. Towering, the Zhongbao is the gateway to Lingtian Courtyard. After entering the Zhongbao, there is Lingtian Courtyard. Standing under the gate of this castle and looking up, the various powerful defense facilities on the castle faintly reveal a hint of murderous intent.
In the past, Zhang Tie was not even qualified to enter the Middle Fort. But now, Zhang Tie finally had this qualification. After taking a deep breath, Zhang Tie, carrying a suitcase, walked towards the gate of this huge castle proudly.
Arriving at the gate of the Zhongbao, under the gaze of two rows of fully armed soldiers, Zhang Tie took out his family disc and followed the method described by his cousin. Insert it into the card slot of a metal machine with a height of one person at the entrance of the castle. After inserting the family disc, Zhang Tie heard the subtle sound of gear movement coming from the inside of the machine. After only waiting for a few seconds, Zhang Tie The family disc card was automatically spit out by the machine, and Zhang Tie saw an iron gate entering the middle fort in front of him. It also slid open automatically. After the iron gate opened automatically, the two rows of fully armed soldiers turned their attention away from Zhang Tie.
After growing up, this is the first time for Zhang Tie to come into contact with such a technical machine. According to Zhang Su, the Zhongbao is not only the gateway to Lingtian Academy, but also the management center of Lingtian Academy. Underground in the Zhongbao, there is a steam differential engine operating. The steam differential engine can identify the unique metal pattern on the Zhang Tie family disc. As long as Zhang Tie has the authority to enter Lingtian Court, then the castle's portal will Be open to him.
The first thing Zhang Tie saw when he entered the castle was a magnificent hall in the hall. There was a counter where several young people wearing Lingtianyuan uniforms were queuing up. Zhang Tie, who already knew from Zhang Su what he should do when he came to report today, joined the queue without hesitation. Inside the counter were a few guys who looked like old academics, all wearing strict uniforms and sleeves.
Several of the people in line in front of Zhang Tie were handing over gold coins at the counter honestly, and a few others handed the notes in their hands to the counter. Along with the gold coins and notes, there were also family plates on each person's body. After receiving the gold coins and notes, the person at the counter carefully checked them and inserted each person's family plate into one similar to the one at the door. However, in a huge machine with more operating buttons and complex keyboards, he then operated one of the machine's operating buttons and various levers, and then ejected the family disc.
"Ouyang Yang, paid the monthly fee of 30 gold coins for Lingtian Academy in March, and it has been recorded..."
…
"Zhang Zhenyue paid the Lingtian Academy monthly fee of 30 gold coins in March, and it has been recorded..."
…
"Zhang Wei, completed the family mission No. Z125 and obtained 120 family contribution points. It has been recorded..."
…
"Qi Fei, pay the monthly fee of 30 gold coins to the Lingtian Academy in March, and it has been recorded..."
…
"Zhang Guowei, completed family task No. T14, obtained 50 family contribution points, now recorded."
The person in front of Zhang Tie who looked to be two years older than Zhang Tie was Zhang Guowei. After confirming that he had obtained 50 family contribution points, Zhang Tie was obviously relieved when he heard this buddy, "Can you help me?" Do you want to check? I want to see how many family contribution points I have now..."
After this person asked this question, Zhang Tie paid close attention to the movements of the people inside the counter. Zhang Tie found that the person operating the strange machine at the counter simply pulled the button after hearing Zhang Guowei's question. After pulling down a lever on the machine, several gears on the machine began to rotate, and then, in a visual window next to the man that looked like a car trip chart, a series of numbers flipped out.
Of course, this machine is not a steam differential engine, but a machine application terminal connected to the steam differential engine. Zhang Su said that the steam differential engine placed underground in Zhongbao is almost as high as a three-story building. It uses a steam turbine as the driving power. That differential engine The circumference of the gears in the machine can go around Qianlong Island several times when connected.
"Including the 50 contribution points you earned for completing the family mission this time, your current family contribution points total 176. Do you have any questions?"
"No more!" The buddy named Zhang Guowei shook his head in distress.
The person at the counter took out the family discs from the machine and gave them back to Zhang Guowei. When this buddy left, Zhang Tie heard him looking up at the ceiling and muttering to himself, "Oh, I want to learn iron." Xiang Gong is still short of 24 family contribution points..."
After this buddy left, it was Zhang Tie's turn...
…
It’s the end of the month. I’m asking for monthly votes in the name of the Difference Engine! One more chapter tonight!
