Chapter 164 Ten Halls of Yama
Machinarium Guild.
This guild has branches all over major provinces, even Jiangchuan City is no exception.
When Su Zhou arrived at the area where the Mechanical Lost City branch was located, what he saw was a magnificent mechanical castle-style building.
The mechanical castle looks like the head of an ancient mechanical giant.
The two chimneys at the top of the building are constantly emitting white steam.
As the name of the Guild of Machinarium suggests, it is closely related to steampunk.
According to rumors on the Internet, this mechanical castle can really turn into a mechanical giant. I don’t know if it’s true or not.
The guild is not open yet, but unexpectedly a lot of people gathered in front of the guild.
These people were dressed luxuriously and obviously had high status, but they still had to wait at the door.
Su Zhou found out after some inquiries.
There are quite a few famous gentry and wealthy people from Jiang Province here.
They want to pay a lot of money to send their newly graduated children to join the guild, even if they are only peripheral guild members.
"No wonder Machinarium's annual military expenditure is one trillion."
Su Zhou suddenly realized something in his heart.
Every year, countless rich people rush to send money to this guild.
But the guild has strict requirements, and even if the rich give money, they may not be able to get their children selected.
"Little brother, are you also planning to enter the mechanical maze?"
An intelligence dealer with a figure as thin as a bamboo pole talked to Su Zhou.
He saw Su Zhou wearing a 2 million limited edition clothing bracelet.
I guessed that the other party was definitely a rich second generation, and he also wanted to use money to enter the guild.
"Well, what's wrong?"
Su Zhou noticed that the other party was paying attention to his bracelet and responded calmly.
I bought a limited edition clothing bracelet yesterday, and it was considered a good buy.
It is much more convenient to go out and be recognized as a wealthy person than to be recognized as a commoner.
"I have some inside information. If you are interested, you can tell me more," the thin monkey man said.
"What's the inside information? Can you reveal some information first so I can see if it's worth it?" Su Zhou became interested and communicated with the other party in a low voice.
"I see that little brother, you are so handsome and rich. You should have graduated from a top military academy and come out to join the guild, right?"
"Let me tell you secretly that several descendants of the elders of the Mechanical Guild have graduated from the Imperial Military University this year and started to join the Mechanical Guild. It is very likely that you are a colleague of these second-generation officials who are joining the guild now. Your family is rich, and they have power.
Together they are invincible."
"I have some insider tips for getting selected. You just need to pay a small fee and I can share the news with you."
After the thin monkey man finished speaking, he rubbed his index finger and thumb.
What he said is true. Even the descendants of elders need to start from the grassroots level.
Otherwise, the descendants of the elders can directly become elders, and no guild member will be convinced.
If you enter the guild this year, you are indeed very likely to meet the descendants of the elders that the other party mentioned.
"The news is good, but it's not worth my money."
Su Zhoubai found out a little bit about whoring and then waved it down politely.
He was the one who applied for the card anyway, and he just asked out of interest.
"Okay, then I'll ask the others."
Although Shouhou looked slightly unhappy, he didn't say much.
The people here today are all rich and famous, and he, an information dealer, cannot afford to offend them in person.
Not long after.
The gate of the Mechanical Castle slowly opened.
Two guild members wearing legendary level equipment came out.
The two guild members looked extremely arrogant. In their eyes, the so-called rich and famous people were just that.
"Those who have an application card or an invitation letter from our guild members can enter the guild first."
"If you are someone who wants to qualify for a quota by sponsoring this guild, come up with your sponsorship plan later and I will be responsible for the first review."
The voice fell.
Most of the people present took out the list of sponsorship plans, hoping to get into the eyes of the Machinarium Guild.
A small number of people with invitation letters will go inside the Mechanical Castle first.
"Brother, my inside information has the sponsorship project that the Machinarium Guild needs most at the moment. If you buy my inside information, it will definitely succeed. If it doesn't work, I will refund the money to you."
On the other side, the thin monkey man pulled a middle-aged wealthy man to a corner and whispered.
"I just want to know whether it will work or not. I can still afford the money you want."
The middle-aged man frowned slightly as he looked at the other party's reliability.
"My news is absolutely true." The thin monkey man assured him, patting his chest.
"Okay, then I'll buy it." The middle-aged man thought for a while and finally bought the other party's inside information.
"Come on, brother, you still know your stuff. There was a young man before who didn't understand how difficult it is to get into the Machinarium guild. Just wait and see. Anyone who doesn't buy my information will never be able to get into this top guild."
The skinny monkey man glanced at Su Zhou, then took out his intelligence express and gave it to the other party.
"Is that the young man you're talking about?" The middle-aged man followed the other person's gaze and pointed at Su Zhou who was walking to the door of the guild.
"Yes, that's him. He's the only young man who doesn't understand how difficult it is to get into a top guild." Thin Monkey also glanced at the other party and nodded.
In the sight of the two people.
Su Zhou came to the entrance of the guild and took out a black card from his storage bracelet.
The moment the guild members guarding the guild gate saw the card, their expressions suddenly changed from arrogant to respectful.
Su Zhou easily entered the Machinarium Guild.
"What's the card in this young man's hand? Didn't you say he can't get in?"
The middle-aged man looked at the information dealer with a puzzled look.
The thin monkey man was stunned on the spot, and the express package he was about to hand to the other party trembled and fell to the ground.
"Black...black gold level application card...fuck, who is this little brother?"
The thin monkey was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
As an industry insider, he naturally knows about the application cards issued by the Machinarium Guild every year.
What outsiders don’t understand is that application cards are divided into colors, with black application cards representing the highest level.
The person who owns this card must have at least a good relationship with the top person in the Machinery Guild to obtain it.
"What's wrong?"
The middle-aged man called the other person back to his senses.
"Nothing, nothing."
The thin monkey picked up the express document with a pale face and handed it to the other party.
He then found an excuse and ran away.
Shouhou mistakenly thought that Su Zhou was the descendant of those guild elders, so he wanted to run away quickly.
If you sell information to such a terrifying second-generation official, it's a good thing if the other party doesn't kill you on the spot!
However, what he didn't understand was that Su Zhou really didn't know that the card in his hand was so rare.
Enter the interior of the Mechanical Castle.
Su Zhou found that everyone inside treated him with special respect.
Other people who enter the guild through invitation letters do not receive this kind of treatment.
Su Zhou took out the black card in his hand, filled with doubts.
