After meeting His Majesty the King, Xu Yi became even busier in the next two days.
His Majesty the King not only ordered 10,000 small magic harvesters from Xu Yi, but also ordered five to 10,000 units of the other five farmland magic machines brought by Xu Yi. wait.
To truly achieve such a huge order, there are undoubtedly many details to be dealt with, so Xu Yi spent the past two days basically sitting together with people sent by His Majesty the King and officials from the Department of Agriculture to negotiate. .
Of course, it was impossible to completely negotiate in two days, but with His Majesty the King's attention and promotion, the negotiations went very smoothly. In just two days, preliminary intentions were already set.
According to His Majesty the King's proposal, the Lampali Kingdom proposed to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the name of His Majesty the King to purchase six types of farmland magic machinery, with the number ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 units.
Of course, with the current production capacity of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it will definitely not be able to complete such a huge order. But because currently, except for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, no other chamber of commerce has the technology to manufacture farmland magic machinery, it was finally decided to let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce provide it in batches.
The first batch is 500 units each of various types of farmland magic machinery, which are required to be delivered before spring planting tomorrow.
Accepting this batch of orders actually gave Xu Yi a headache.
Although the production capacity of the magic machine tool workshop has been greatly increased with the addition of a hundred dwarves from the Angola tribe, it is still extremely difficult to complete an order for a total of 3,000 farmland magic machines before planting next spring.
The reason why Xu Yi agreed was entirely because His Majesty the King firmly disagreed with reducing the quantity of the first batch of orders to less than 500 units, because below this number, it would be difficult to realize the advantages of large-scale production that Xu Yi said, and also It would be impossible for His Majesty the King to completely make up his mind.
After all, behind the order for tens of thousands of farmland magic machines, His Majesty the King and the Agriculture Department need to pay huge amounts of millions of gold coins.
This amount of funds is absolutely unsustainable with the current finances of the Lampali Kingdom, so His Majesty the King proposed it to Xu Yi. Pay with resources within the kingdom.
Xu Yi naturally welcomed this. Although his request for a fief was rejected by His Majesty the King, his request for iron ore and magic crystal mine was met.
According to the preliminary agreement between the two parties, Xu will also obtain two iron ore mines currently located within Bangta City. As well as three magic crystal mines in the northwest of Bangta City, which are out of the scope of Bangta City.
Since Xu Yi doesn't know much about these mineral veins at present, this is just an initial agreement. Once Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce inspect these mineral veins and express satisfaction with the mineral veins, this agreement will take effect.
After receiving these mineral veins, Xu Yi must complete all the various small farmland magic machines required by the order within the next year in accordance with the order requirements, and assist the Agriculture Department in completing the deployment of all farmland reconstruction in the kingdom.
So now Xu Yi is facing strong pressure.
If Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot complete the first batch of orders before planting next spring. Not only was the mine impossible to obtain, but more importantly, he and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were likely to directly lose the trust and support of His Majesty the King.
If such a result is achieved, it will undoubtedly be an extremely heavy blow to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and will also have an irreversible impact on Xu Yi's long-term plans.
Therefore, this batch of orders must be completed without any mistakes.
But as a mechanical engineer. Xu Yi's work inherently requires extreme precision and does not allow for the slightest error, so he has long been accustomed to facing pressure and has even learned to generate motivation from pressure.
Although this first batch of orders and subsequent orders for farmland magic machinery are very large, Xu Yi feels that this opportunity can be used to carry out the transformation and expansion of the magic machine tool workshop that has been prepared for a long time. On the contrary, it will promote the development and growth of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
As long as we seize this opportunity, the prospects of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will undoubtedly become excellent.
After two busy days, the third day came when the Magician's Guild conducted its fifth-level assessment.
According to Xu Yi's original plan, he was supposed to take the fourth-level assessment yesterday and strive to go directly from a junior magician to a fourth-level magician. However, he thought of Viscount Leslie's sudden request that day. Xu Yi thought about it again and again, and finally decided to skip the Level 4 assessment and directly take the Level 5 assessment.
The number of magicians who came to take the assessment on this day was obviously much less than the primary assessment on the first day. Xu Yi came to the examination room and looked around and found that he was included. There were only less than fifty people there, not as many as the people who stayed in a random corner on the first day.
Unlike the previous examination room for the primary examination, Xu Yi didn't recognize any of the magicians here.
After all, a magician who dares to take the fifth-level assessment must have the strength of a fourth-level magician. There cannot be too many fourth-level magicians, and it is very difficult to break through to become a fifth-level magician. Of course, there are very few magicians who come to take the fifth-level assessment every year.
In the examination room for the primary examination, a twenty-seven-year-old magician like Xu Yi looks a bit older, and he often gets a few looks of contempt from others. But in the examination room for the fifth-level examination, he looks a bit older. Being relatively young makes it easier for people to think that they are talented, so they naturally attract the attention of others.
Everyone was even more surprised when they saw that Xu Yi didn't even have a badge representing the magician level on his chest.
Is this kid not even a junior magician, so he came to take the fifth-level magician assessment
Under everyone's surprised gaze, Xu Yi reported his name to the staff of the Magician's Guild in charge of the assessment.
After hearing the name, the staff member in charge of the assessment glanced at Xu Yi in astonishment, then frowned and said in a deep voice: "Xu Yi, are you sure you want to take the Level 5 assessment? I must remind you that although you have Camilla The special recommendation quota of the great magician can be skipped to participate in the assessment, but this is only one opportunity. If you fail, you will no longer be able to receive special recommendation in the future, and your evaluation in the magician union will also be lowered by one level. I hope you understand the consequences."
After hearing the staff's words, everyone around them suddenly realized.
It turns out that this kid actually has a special recommendation quota. No wonder he can come directly to take the Level 5 assessment.
Then everyone looked at Xu Yi with a hint of disdain.
Since this kid is not even a junior magician, why does he think he can pass the fifth level assessment? It's too childish.
But in addition to disdain, everyone was more confused. -
Since this guy will be specially recommended by the great magician Camilla, he must have a strong magical talent. Only then will he be appreciated by the great magician Camilla.
Maybe he is the magic apprentice secretly accepted by the great magician Camilla. He has been studying magic with great concentration. The reason why he has not participated in the assessment of the Magician Guild before is because he wants to make a splash in this assessment.
think about it. A young magician took part in the assessment of the Magician's Guild for the first time and actually became a fifth-level magician. This is such shocking news.
Xu Yike didn't expect that the people around him would have so many strange thoughts in their hearts. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to whether he could pass this assessment, and he didn't even pay much attention to participating in the assessment of the Magician's Guild. Pay attention to.
If it weren't for the repeated urging from Camilla the Great Magician and Steele, he wouldn't bother to take the assessment at all.
If it hadn't been for Viscount Leslie's request, it would have been even more impossible for him to come directly to take the Level 5 assessment.
In fact, his current strength is between the fourth and fifth level magicians. If he takes the fourth level assessment, he is more than 90% sure that he can pass.
But if he takes the Level 5 assessment, his confidence will only drop to 50% or even lower.
Compared with the primary assessment. The content of the Level 5 assessment is less complicated and consists of only two aspects: written examination and practical assessment.
Of course, there is no need to talk about the practical assessment. The written examination is to test the magicians' attainments in magic theory, which is also very important.
To Xu Yi's surprise, the content of the written test for the fifth-level assessment this time was actually about several fifth-level magic arrays.
In order to study magic machinery. Xu Yi's research and understanding of magic arrays are far superior to those of magicians of the same level. He has even discussed various fifth-level magic arrays with Camilla, the great magician, very early on, and he can be regarded as knowing all the details. These assessments The content of it naturally did not faze him.
It only took less than half an hour for Xu Yi to complete the written test with ease.
Seeing Xu Yi leaving the examination room gracefully, the surrounding magicians who also participated in the examination suddenly looked at him in shock.
Could this guy be a real genius? Maybe his true strength has even far exceeded that of a fifth-level magician
However, the actual combat assessment started an hour later. These magicians who had just been shocked by Xu Yi were immediately shocked.
It's not that Xu Yi's performance is not good, but in the actual combat assessment, Xu Yi's magic has always been maintained at the level of a fourth-level magician. Even if he can occasionally use one or two fifth-level magic, it is still obvious. Not a good grasp.
No matter how you look at it. Xu Yi's true strength is that of a fourth-level magician, and it is very difficult to pass the fifth-level assessment.
Then everyone looked at Xu Yi strangely again.
Is this guy really just arrogant
After the actual combat assessment, Xu Yi's performance showed that although the total of forty-seven magicians Meng who participated in the assessment did not fall to the last, they were clearly in the middle and lower reaches.
According to the tradition of the Magician's Guild. The number of magicians who can pass the assessment is limited each time, so according to normal circumstances, Xu Yi will definitely fail to pass the fifth level assessment this time.
Feeling the ridicule and joking in everyone's eyes, Xu Yi's face was calm and unmoved.
As a mechanical engineer, he pays great attention to seeking truth from facts. His current strength is indeed between the fourth and fifth level magicians. Even if he fails to pass the fifth level assessment, it is expected and not unacceptable.
What's more, he didn't care much about the results of this assessment.
However, after waiting patiently for two hours, once the assessment results were announced, everyone, including Xu Yi, was stunned at the same time.
Xu Yi's name suddenly appeared on the list of applicants!
