The square in front of Wild Wolf Castle was even more lively than the Citizen Square in Black Flame City at this moment. Zhang Tie only took a cursory glance and found that there were at least eight or nine hundred people in the square, and there were piles of boys and girls. When they got together, some were bargaining and trading things - most of them were exchanging food. The girls used various wild vegetables they picked to exchange for some prey and meat that the boys had brought. The girls form small teams, trying to get to know each other or introducing members of their own groups to each other. At the same time, in Zhang Tie's eyes, there were dozens of girls proudly showing off their strong arm muscles and patting their buttocks, in order to bulge out the pitiful biceps on their arms. When they got up, some guys who didn't have much information in the first place turned red from holding back, 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 both men and women are willing, everyone can freely form a trial team to complete the trial together. Except for the woman who must return to the castle before eight o'clock in the evening, for men and women No one will interfere with the free formation of teams by both parties. Of course, if something else happens between you and me, no one will care. After several years of compulsory education in separate schools for boys and girls, in this trial, the school finally released this scourge and let them have their own way. Apart from not using force and violating the woman's will, there is no bottom line for the relationship between the two parties. After all, these matters of men and women, at a small level, are other people's business, but at a big level, they are the foundation of the existence of the human race, and 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 girl's attention.
The more reserved ones took advantage of the opportunity for the two parties to exchange items and food to get close to each other, while the shameless ones rushed over to see a bunch of girls and asked, "Beauties, do you want to form a team? We are very powerful. , as long as you stay with us, I guarantee that you, beautiful women, will have meat to eat every day!" - Most of these guys will get a lot of looks. Some guys with good luck and strength, who knew how to figure out women's hearts, took their prey directly to the square, where they shouted to invite some girls to have dinner with them. Guys who use this last resort have a high success rate.
After arriving in the square for a while, Zhang Tie saw a bunch of animals from No. 2 Middle School carrying a killed wild boar. He came to the square with great pride and invited the girls to eat together in the valley at night. Under the banner of roasting wild boar, two teams of girls joined in a short while, and then the animals from No. 2 Middle School walked away with the two teams of girls, as if they had been given blood. Seeing this, Zhang Tie understood why the fat guy Barry insisted on bringing a pot. Needless to say, he must be preparing to hang girls here later. When it comes to making food, the difference between having a pot and not having a pot is huge. . Everyone has to stay here for two months. No matter how strong you are and you can hunt prey every day, there are probably not many girls who can bear to eat barbecue for two consecutive months...
Zhang Tie seemed to see the fat man's sly smile!
In addition to getting to know each other, another function of this square is to showcase one's own strengths and abilities. Among the things traded, Zhang Tie was surprised to find that on the third day of the trial, someone had already made some practical things. I took it out. They were some mats, medicine cages, pillows woven from bamboo, as well as some stools, soup bowls, wooden basins and barrels made of wood. Practice is indeed the best criterion for testing talents. Looking at Those handmade products, Zhang Tie thought of the pride of the Seventh National Boys' High School, the talented senior brother named Li Shizhen. I heard that the senior brother was originally an ordinary and unknown person in the school, but he shined in the trial. He showed off his talent as an alchemist and continuously produced several powerful potions for sale, which suddenly shocked everyone, and then he soared into the sky. Therefore, for many schools, this trial is the most important time to determine the school's recommended quota.
If you have advanced into a powerful warrior, then go and bring back the corpses of those beasts...
If you have the talent of an alchemist, then make those magical elixirs and potions...
If you have good hands and special skills, show what you can make...
Of course, if you are a loser who doesn’t even have the confidence to get food in the wild, then just go mining and do hard work. As long as you have some strength and can endure hardship, this trial will not make you starve alive. Death, the social structure and division of labor of the human race always require some hard-working guys to do the work that others are not willing to do. Not everyone can live in glory and flowers.
At the gate of the outer castle, a mission notice was posted. There was a small circle of people watching there. Some looked at the mission, shook their heads and left, while others were beaming with joy and eager to try...
Without any effort, Zhang Tie squeezed under the mission notice board and looked up at the notice that had obviously just been released.
The first task is that the Wild Wolf Castle is about to open a kiln to burn charcoal. A large amount of wood is needed in the short term. Those who have the strength but have not harvested any prey in a short period of time can get an ax and chop wood by themselves. Use the wood and wood in exchange for food. Those who are confident enough in charcoal-making skills can apply to join the charcoal-making team. Everyone has learned the charcoal-making method in school and it is not complicated. This provides another way for many people to make a living. But these two errands also have no honor at all. They just allow you to survive or temporarily tide over the difficulties for a few days.
After the charcoal is burned, it is naturally used for iron smelting. It is opened together with the charcoal kiln and the iron smelting workshop in the Wild Wolf Castle. In addition to charcoal, the opening of the iron smelting workshop also requires iron ore and a lot of tools for oneself. A guy who is confident in his iron smelting and blacksmithing skills. Although iron smelting and blacksmithing are also technical activities, they are much more advanced than charcoal mining and the like. Those who really have skills and skills in this area should just show them off.
The third item of the task is the news that the lime kiln for burning lime requires a lot of manpower. In the later period, because a large amount of animal skins will be tanned, lime is also an essential material.
There are still a few tasks ahead, but Zhang Tie has no intention of reading any more...
After reading the mission notice board, Zhang Tie did not stop and walked directly into the Wild Wolf Castle. He walked in from the castle gate and turned right for more than 30 meters. In a small square between the inner castle and the outer castle, Zhang Tie looked at When we arrived at the small room with the sign of the Comprehensive Logistics Management Office, there was a table in front of the door. Two girls were sitting behind the table, chattering. It was not until Zhang Tie came closer that the two girls He raised his head and looked at Zhang Tie. The 15-year-old Zhang Tie was not ugly, but he was not very handsome either. He was not short, but he was not tall either. He just looked pleasing to the eye and was not annoying. The two girls looked at him. After taking one look at him, they showed no interest in looking more. One of them asked Zhang Tie in a businesslike tone, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"I'm here to get the mining pick and the mining basket!" Zhang Tie said calmly.
"Are you going to go mining?" Zhang Tie's words surprised the two girls. They looked at Zhang Tie again. The weird eyes said everything.
"Well, I haven't tried it before, and I think mining should be fun, so now I will take advantage of this trial to experience what mining is like..." Zhang Tie said with a smile, without any embarrassment at all, looking at Zhang Tie With their hearty smiles, the weird looks in the eyes of the two girls were relieved a lot. The two girls looked 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 it..."
Zhang Tie took off the metal student number plate from his neck and handed it over. The student number plate is issued by the school when enrolling. Each person has one piece, which is equivalent to the ID card of the students in Heiyan City. They are not commonly used. , but for this trial, the school required everyone to bring their student ID number, so Zhang Tie also hung up his student ID number. Among those animals, there is a saying that they wear student number tags so that the school can identify some unlucky guy when he dies beyond recognition.
After registering the number on the student ID card, the girl returned the student ID card to Zhang Tie, "I want to remind you that the mining picks and mining baskets collected here cannot be damaged. If they are damaged, they will be compensated according to the price. After receiving them, , you must turn in at least 100 kilograms of iron ore every day. The iron ore turned in can be exchanged for food. The more you turn in, the more food you can exchange for. If the iron ore turned in for three consecutive days is less than this minimum amount, it means you lose In order to be qualified as a miner, you must hand back the mining pick and the mining basket!"
"Okay, is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
"Do you know the locations of the abandoned iron mines in the Wild Wolf Valley!"
"I know, the nearest one is less than two hundred meters below the castle!"
"Then there is no problem. Also, if you don't know how to identify iron ore, you can first go to the iron smelting workshop over there to find out. There are many samples of iron ore there!" The girl pointed in a direction in the small square of the outer castle.
"OK!
The requirement of at least 100 kilograms of iron ore per day was very low, which made Zhang Tie completely relieved, so that he would have a lot of time to do other things. It seems that the profession of miner is really difficult to recruit. The quantity is completely prepared for those guys who are too hungry and have nothing to eat to tide over the difficulties.
After explaining this, one of the girls turned around and walked into the nearby warehouse. In less than half a minute, she took out a steel mining pick and a mining basket. Both of these items seemed to have been cleaned in the past two days. No one was using it, but it was not dirty at all. Zhang Tie threw the mining pick into the mining basket, then put the mining basket taller than a child on his back, thanked the two girls and waved, He took his own spear and walked out of the Wild Wolf Castle with this earthy equipment.
This piece of equipment really made everyone he met along the way look askance.
As soon as he reached the door of the castle, Zhang Tie heard a strange voice beside him, "Oh, who is this fresh miner? Isn't he the very talented guy from our school?"
As soon as Zhang Tie turned his head, he saw several of Gris's doglegs, looking at him with a condescending and contemptuous look. This is called enemies on a narrow road...
