Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ¡ª¡ªOn May 28, 889 in the Black Iron Calendar, the handsome and majestic Lord of the Castle invested 300 spiritual energy values, 5 merit values ??and 0.1 basic energy reserves into the mutation evolution of a bottle of yeast.

    ¡ª¡ªThe estimated completion time of this mutation and evolution is 360 hours. Please be patient, the handsome and majestic Lord of the Castle!

    Seeing this information, Zhang Tie estimated that the time it takes for evolution and mutation to produce results is probably related to the growth cycle of organisms. It takes about two months for potatoes to know the results, but about two weeks for yeast.

    In this attempt, Zhang Tie discovered another thing, that is, when a certain number of creatures mutate and evolve, the maximum aura value, merit value and basic energy reserve that they can withstand at a single time invested in them are all  There is an upper limit. Like this time, for this half bottle of yeast liquid, when the three sliding control bars are pulled to the far right, the maximum spiritual energy value that can be tolerated in a single time is 7600, and the merit value is 7600.  860, and the basic energy reserve is 340.  These "huge numbers" stunned Zhang Tie for a while. In the end, Zhang Tie had to make careful calculations and made a small-scale investment that was barely affordable to see the situation.

    After leaving the Black Iron Castle, my father had returned home. It was already time for dinner at home. Today¡¯s dinner was particularly sumptuous. Ham and beef were all served on the table. My mother cooked a table full of dishes. It was a feast for the eyes.  Tie's mouth was watering. At the dinner table, his mother kept holding dishes for Zhang Tie, while his father kept telling Zhang Tie what he should pay attention to during the survival trial.

    "No matter what you do, never go alone in the wild, especially at night, you know?"

    Zhang Tie nodded while eating.

    "Also, don't show off" my mother added next to her.

    ¡°Mom, your son, I have thin arms and legs, so there¡¯s no point in trying to show off!¡± Zhang Tie shouted, and then his father hit him on the forehead with chopsticks.

    "Of course your mother knows that you have nothing to achieve. Your mother means that you should do things according to your ability. In the wild, it is not as good as in the city. Many things there can kill people!"

    "I got it!" Thinking of his mother looking at the photo of that damn brother, Zhang Tie vowed that no matter what, he would come back alive.

    Throughout the meal, Zhang Tie¡¯s head was being nodded like a chicken eating rice by his mother and boss.

    ¡­¡­

    When the meal was about to be finished, Zhang Tie took out three gold coins from his pocket, took his mother's hand and put it on her hand. The three heavy and shining locomotives frightened both mother and father at once.  He stopped, and his sister-in-law's eyes widened.

    Dad¡¯s eyes widened. He looked at the three gold coins and then at Zhang Tie. He picked up a gold coin and looked at it in disbelief, "Youwhere did you get so much money?"

    Zhang Tie said nonchalantly, his expression full of pride, "Of course your son and I earned it at the Iron Thorn Battle Hall. There are many rich people there. Sometimes when the service is good, the wealthy young men will just give away a gold coin or something!"  Zhang Tie's words are half true and half false. In the Iron Thorns Arena, there are indeed sparring partners and other service staff who often receive tips. The amount of tips varies from a few silver coins to a few gold coins. For example, like  The amount of tips that girls like Mary get every month is astonishing. Although Zhang Tie has not received any rewards or tips, no one can expose this lie, not even the battle hall.  Ask all the guests on the sixth floor who has tipped Zhang Tie how much.

    "But this is too much!" Mom still couldn't believe it. These three gold coins were almost equivalent to a quarter's salary of Zhang Tie's father, which was also a lot of money for the family.

    "Mom, a pair of leather shoes worn by those wealthy young men costs more than ten gold coins. Look at the prices of those things on Guanghui Street. None of them are sky-high. This money is a lot for us, but it is really not worth it to them.  What the hell, otherwise why do you think there are so many people who like to run into the battle hall! When your son grows up, he will be able to earn more money in the future. I have been practicing for a few days, mom and dad.  Don't save money, buy more delicious and nutritious things to supplement your sister-in-law. My little nephew and niece will be fat in the future. You should also take care of yourselves and prepare to enjoy what your son has given you in the future.  Qingfu.¡±

    After talking like this, Zhang Tie's father and mother finally believed it. They had heard something about what happened in the battle hall. They knew that there were indeed many rich people there, and those people spent money.  Spending money like water is not something ordinary people like me can match.

    Seeing his mother finally cautiously put away the three gold coins, Zhang Tie breathed a sigh of relief. With this beginning, it will be easier to handle. From now on, he will get back a little "tip" every now and then.  It also allows parents to worry less. This week, rice stuffing will be produced.Once things calm down, there is less money to support the family, and the smiles on the faces of my mother and father are much less. Seeing that my sister-in-law's belly is getting bigger day by day, and there is another person in the family, the expenses at home will be  The expenses will be even greater, and the pressure on parents can be imagined. As a son, Zhang Tie knows this better than anyone.  Seeing his mother putting away the money and looking at each other with his father, the relieved smiles stretched out from the corners of their eyes, Zhang Tie's heart was filled with warmth.

    The next day, the whole family was busy, and the Zhang family¡¯s rice wine shop also had a rare day off. Everyone was preparing things for Zhang Tie¡¯s survival trial.

    A sleeping bag, a set of lightweight protective leather armor, a poncho, a helmet, an aluminum water bottle, a cowhide lanyard, a backpack, and a multifunctional engineer shovel - these things are all available at home, and Zhang Tie used to have them.  My eldest brother Zhang Yang used it when he participated in the survival trial, and my mother carefully put it away. This time Zhang Tie was going to participate in the survival trial, so my mother took these things out of the box and gave them to Zhang Tie.  Like Zhang Tie's family, many things are passed down from generation to generation. The elder brother uses it for his brother's use, and the brother uses it for his son's use. They have to use it until they are completely useless.  These things are a bit old, but because my mother kept them well, everything can be used when she takes them out.  These things are also what most families in Black Flame City prepare for their children to undergo survival trials.

    My mother turned the sleeping bag out and let it dry in the sun for a day, and then secretly hid a bag of fried rice for Zhang Tie in the sleeping bag. There are regulations on the amount of food brought in the survival trial, and it is not allowed to exceed five kilograms, but many people will secretly hide it.  A little, as long as it is not excessive, the teachers in the school will turn a blind eye

    Dad re-oiled the leather armor, re-sharpened the engineer shovel, and then went out to buy Zhang Tie four kilograms of compressed biscuits and one kilogram of beef jerky

    The sister-in-law helped re-adjust the cushions inside the helmet to the size of Zhang Tie's head, cleaned the kettle, and prepared a change of clothes and a sewing kit for Zhang Tie

    ¡­¡­

    After a busy day, the family finally prepared everything Zhang Tie needed to participate in the survival trial. The last dinner they had at home before participating in the survival trial was still sumptuous, and his father and mother were worried again.  It was sad again, except for my mother¡¯s tireless repeated warnings, there was much less talk at the dinner table.

    Zhang Tie was also a little sad. The survival trial is a test of an adult's ability, and it is also a prelude and overture for him to live and work alone after leaving this home. The meal was originally a good meal, but later, the old man  As her mother spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears into the bowl, making Zhang Tie unable to eat any more.

    "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine!" Zhang Tie had no choice but to comfort his mother. Although it was difficult to understand the mood of a mother when she was sorting out the survival equipment for her son to see him off, the mother's cry made her cry.  The sorrow that the family was about to separate, which had been deliberately concealed and hidden during this period of time, was lifted. As the second son of the family, Zhang Tieneng's time to stay in Black Flame City was actually running out.  Amid my mother's sobs, my father's eyes turned red, and so did Zhang Tie's. The last meal at home ended hastily.

    ¡­¡­

    After dark, Zhang Tie found a time to go out and walked around the streets. Finally, he came to the door of a post office near the most lively Citizen Square in the center of Heiyan City. No one noticed  When I was alone, I dropped an envelope into the mailbox at the door of the post office, and then took a detour back home.

    The envelopes were brought home by my brother. They belong to the daily necessities of the Black Flame City Guards. As soldiers, there are always times when I need to contact my family, so my brother and the others can receive two special envelopes every month. No need to  My brother once took back a few of these military envelopes that can be mailed with stamps, and sold the remaining ones on the black market. Military postage envelopes are also in high demand on the black market.  The envelope contained a hood belonging to a red scarf thief and a letter written by Zhang Tie in standard printing fonts. The letter was sent directly to the headquarters of the Heiyan City Coal and Steel Federation. Zhang Tie did not have any signature on the letter.  He only wrote one sentence - the red scarf thieves colluded with the Numuen business group, and wanted to work together to plot the Black Flame City!

    For Zhang Tie, being able to achieve this step is already his ultimate achievement. In this conspiracy, whether it is the Red Scarf Bandits or the New Moon Business Group, they are all superpowers for Zhang Tie and the entire Zhang family.  Being involved in a battle with a behemoth, a small person is like an ant being involved in a fight between a group of elephants, and they will be trampled to death at some point.

    Not to mention that there seems to be a more terrifying figure behind these two major forces. The "sir" in the mouths of Sneijder and Huck is the honorific "sir" inadvertently revealed by Huck and Sneijder.  Zhang Tie's heart felt cold and he was completely broken.I got rid of the lucky idea in my heart and wanted to use this matter to seek greater benefits for myself
