Chapter 8 Preparations Before the Trial

——On May 28, 889 in the Black Iron Calendar, the handsome and stalwart castle master invested 300 aura points, 5 merit points, and 0.1 basic energy reserves into the mutation evolution of a bottle of yeast.

——The estimated completion time of this mutation and evolution is 360 hours, please wait patiently for the handsome and stalwart castle master!

Seeing the information this time, Zhang Tie estimated that the time 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, and about two weeks for yeast.

And this attempt made Zhang Tie discover 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 bear to invest in them at a time are There is an upper limit, like this time, the half bottle of yeast liquid, when the three sliding control bars are pulled to the far right, the maximum aura value of the single input that can be tolerated is 7600, and the merit value is 7600. 860, the basic energy reserve is 340. These "huge numbers" stunned Zhang Tie for a while, and finally Zhang Tie had to make careful calculations and made a barely affordable small-scale investment to see the situation.

Leaving the Black Iron Fort, Dad has already returned home. It’s time for dinner at home. Today’s dinner is extraordinarily rich. The ham and beef are all served on the table. Mom has cooked a table full of dishes. At the dinner table, my mother kept holding dishes for Zhang Tie, while my father kept telling Zhang Tie what he should pay attention to during the survival test.

"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..." Mom added beside her.

"Mom, your son has slender arms and legs, so there's nothing he can do if he wants to!" Zhang Tie yelled, and his father knocked him on the forehead with chopsticks.

"Of course your mother knows that you have nothing to do. What your mother means is to let you do things according to your ability. In the wild, it's no different than in the city. There are many things that will kill you!"

"Understood!" Thinking of the way his mother looked at the photo of that dead brother, Zhang Tie swore that no matter what, he would come back alive.

During the whole meal, Zhang Tie's head was repeatedly ordered by his mother and old man like a chicken eating rice.

...

When the meal was about to finish, Zhang Tie took out three gold coins from his pocket, took his mother's hand and put it in his mother's hand, and the three heavy and bright locomotives scared his mother and father at once. Stopped, the sister-in-law also stared round her eyes.

Dad stared wide-eyed, looked at the three gold coins, then at Zhang Tie, and picked up a gold coin to look at it in disbelief, "You...where did you get so much money?"

Zhang Tie said nonchalantly, with a proud expression on his face, "Of course it was your son who earned it in the Iron Thorn War Hall. There are many rich people there, and sometimes the service is good, and those wealthy young men just send a gold coin or something!", What Zhang Tie said is half true and half false. In the Iron Thorn Battle Hall, there are indeed sparring partners and other service personnel who often get tips. The amount of tips varies from a few silver coins to a few gold coins. For example, Those girls like Mary received an astonishing amount of tips every month. Although Zhang Tie hadn’t received any rewards or tips, no one could expose this lie, not even the Zhanguan. Ask all the guests on the six floors, who has tipped Zhang Tie how much.

"But... that's too much!" My mother still couldn't believe it. These three gold coins were almost equivalent to Zhang Tie's father's salary for a quarter, and it was a lot of money for the family.

"Mom, a pair of leather shoes that are poorly worn costs more than ten gold coins. Look at the prices of those things on Guanghui Street, which one is not sky-high. These are a lot of money for us, but for them,

It's really nothing, otherwise, why do you think so many people like to run into the war hall! I have grown up your son, and I can earn more money in the future. I have been trying for a few days, parents, don’t save money, buy more delicious and nutritious things for my sister-in-law Well, my little nephew and niece will grow fat in the future, you also have to take care of yourselves, and prepare to enjoy the good fortune your son gave you in the future. "

After saying this, Zhang Tie's father and mother finally believed it. Both of them had heard about the things in the war hall, and they knew that there were indeed a lot of rich people there, and those people really spent money. Spending money like water is not comparable to the little people in my family.

Seeing his mother finally put away the three gold coins cautiously, Zhang Tie breathed a sigh of relief. With this beginning, things will be easy. From now on, he will get back some "tips" every now and then. It can also make parents worry less. Once the rice brewing business has slowed down this week, there is less money to subsidize the family, and the smiles on the faces of mother and father are also much less. One day, another person will be added to the family, and the expenses and expenses of the family will be even greater. The pressure on parents can be imagined, and Zhang Tie, a son, knows it better than anyone else. Zhang Tie's heart was also filled with warmth when his mother put away the money and looked at his father, and the relieved smiles on the corners of their eyes.

The next day, the whole family was busy, and Zhang's rice brewing shop had a rare day off. Everyone was preparing things for Zhang Tie's survival test.

A sleeping bag, a set of light protective leather armor, a rain poncho, a helmet, an aluminum water bottle, a cowhide lanyard, a backpack, and a multifunctional engineering shovel—these things are all in the house, and they were made by Zhang Tie in the past. My eldest brother, Zhang Yang, used it when he participated in the survival trial, and his mother carefully put it away. This time, Zhang Tie was going to participate in the survival trial, so my mother dug these things out of the box and gave them to Zhang Tie. In the case of Zhang Tie's family, many things are passed down from generation to generation. The elder brother uses them for the brothers, and the brothers use them for the sons. They have to use them until they are completely useless. These things are a bit old, but because my mother packed them up and kept them well, everything can be used when I take them out. These things are also things that most families in Heiyan City prepare for their children's survival trials.

My mother turned the sleeping bag out to dry for a day, and then quietly hid a bag of fried rice for Zhang Tie in the sleeping bag—there is a regulation on the amount of food in the survival test, which cannot exceed five kilograms, but many people will secretly hide it. One point, as long as it is not too much, 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 adjust the cushion inside the helmet according to the size of Zhang Tie's head, cleaned the water bottle, and prepared a change of clothes and a sewing kit for Zhang Tie...

...

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

Zhang Tie is also a little sad. The trial of survival is a test of an adult's ability, and it is also the prelude and prelude to his life and hard work after leaving this house. As Mom talked, she couldn't help but shed tears into the bowl, making Zhang Tie unable to eat anymore.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine!" Zhang Tie had no choice but to comfort his mother. Although it was difficult for a mother to understand the mood of a mother packing up the survival equipment for her son and sending her son off, the crying of the mother was still true. The sorrow of parting from the family that has been deliberately concealed and hidden during this period of time has been revealed. As the second son of the family, Zhang Tie Neng's time in Heiyan City is actually running out. Amidst the mother's sobbing, Dad's eyes were also red, and Zhang Tie's eyes were also red, and the last meal at home ended hastily.

...

After dark, Zhang Tie found a time to go out, wandered around the street, and finally came to the door of a post office near the busiest citizen square in the center of Heiyan city. When I was alone, I dropped an envelope into the mailbox at the door of the post office, and then went back home on the detour.

The envelope was brought home by my brother. It belongs to the living supplies of the Heiyan City Guards. As a soldier, there are always times when I need to contact my family, so my brother and the others can receive two special envelopes every month. Military envelopes that can be mailed with stamps. My brother has brought back a few of these envelopes, and sold the extra ones on the black market. Military postal envelopes are also in high demand on the black market. Inside the envelope was a hood of a red scarf thief and a letter written by Zhang Tie in standard print. The letter was sent directly to the headquarters of the Heiyancheng Coal and Steel Federation. On the letter, Zhang Tie did not have any signature Only one sentence was written - the Red Scarf Pirates colluded with the New Muen Merchant Group, and they wanted to cooperate with the inside and outside to plot the Black Yan City!

For Zhang Tie, being able to achieve this step is already his acme. In this conspiracy, whether it is the Red Scarf Bandits or the New Moon Merchant Group, they are all superpowers for Zhang Tie and the entire Zhang family. Stirring in a battle with giants and small people is like ants getting involved in a fight with 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 forces, the "Sir" that Snyder and Huck said was the honorific "Sir" that Huck and Snyder inadvertently revealed. Zhang Tie's heart was cold, and he completely cut off the fluke in his heart, and wanted to use this incident to seek greater benefits for himself...
