The sun was setting in the west. Lin Bai looked at the sky and realized that it was already late. In addition, the light here was darker than outside. If it were any later, he would not be able to see the road clearly and would easily get lost.
With his current strength, it was still very dangerous to spend the night in the misty forest. So, he no longer hesitated. He collected some raw materials from the yak and walked towards the town.
Wild boar is very hard. Although it has a slightly pungent smell, it will become very fragrant after being roasted in a special way, whether it is fried or grilled. This will greatly increase people's appetite.
In addition, it can quickly replenish physical strength and is very popular among mercenaries.
Not to mention the yak, its whole body is full of treasures. Even its bones can be used. Lin Bai estimates that he can sell it for a lot of money, so he will definitely make a profit on this trip.
At this time, the sun has not completely set. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the city wall, as if it has been coated with a faint golden light. The market is still bustling with people and the sound of selling is endless.
"High-quality black fox fur. Don't miss it when passing by. This is the best material for making Taoist robes!"
"Eternal Tiger Whip Wine. I guarantee you'll want more!"
"We have detox pills, strength pills, healing powder, and all kinds of pills. They are essential items for home and travel. The price is fair and we are honest."
As soon as Lin Bai put the wild boar and wild yak ingredients on the table, someone came over to ask about the price. His skinning method was clean and complete. Soon, the deal was concluded. Then, all the bones, horns and other bits and pieces were bought.
In total, he earned five thousand crystals.
With the money in hand, Lin Bai did not panic. He went directly to the store and wanted to buy a basic storage backpack. It was not only easy to carry, but also took up no space.
He can hold too little with both hands. If he had a storage bag, he could hold more prey.
However, the basic storage bag can only store very few things. If he can make do with it now, he can change it to a more advanced one in the future. Even so, Lin Bai couldn't help but click his tongue when looking at the price behind it.
"It's too expensive. Why don't you go and rob someone?"
This is just a primary storage bag, but it already contains 7,000 to 8,000 crystals. The money he earned just now is not enough. If it were a higher-level item such as a storage ring, it would probably be an astronomical figure.
"Hello, the total is 6000 crystals. After discount, it will be 5400 crystals."
Just when Lin Bai felt it was a pity, he suddenly heard the clerk next to him calculating the bill. He immediately asked in confusion: "Can I get a discount when I buy something?"
"Of course. He is an ordinary member of the Wushu Association. He can get a 10% discount. If he is a senior member, he can get a 40% discount!"
Lin Bai had a thoughtful expression on his face. He also planned to participate. After the discount, he could afford a basic storage bag. In addition, he could save some money when buying things in the future.
He hurried out of the store and walked towards the Wushu Association. There were still many people taking the exam. When Lin Bai walked over, there was already a long queue.
"If you want to become a member of the Wushu Association, you need to take an exam. You need to pay a registration fee of 3,000 crystals. If you pass, you are your own and you can return it. If you fail, there will be no refund."
3,000 crystals is not too much, but it is not too little either. The main reason is to prevent some people from trying to cheat in the exam and waste time and manpower.
"The test focuses on three areas: strength, speed and skill."
"That is, pure strength, speed and skill. The content of the test will be randomly selected."
This is also to raise the bar and prevent those who pass the test from notifying others and prevent others from taking advantage of the situation.
Lin Bai paid the money and registered his name without hesitation. With his current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to pass the preliminary examination.
Others in line didn't hesitate. Soon, everyone picked their own test subjects.
"Whoever chooses number one, please come with me."
Soon, several people in blue clothes came out. Judging from their appearance, they should be waiters. There was a faint pressure between their brows. They should be innate.
Lin Bai was the first. At the same time, more than a dozen people came out of the large team and followed the officials to the association's training ground.
This place is very spacious. At first glance, there are no other decorations. There are only dozens of targets a hundred meters away. Lin Bai has already made a guess about the content of the assessment.
As expected, the flight attendant said:
"The assessment subject is strength. At the same time, you have to control your accuracy. This is not an ordinary target, but made of the hardest black iron. All you have to do is hit the bullseye and pierce it!"
After the waiter explained the rules, he motioned for everyone to start. What was handed to everyone was not a stone, but a dull piece of wood.
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded. The wood chip was light and not sharp. It couldn't even scrape off iron filings, let alone penetrate black iron.
Immediately, someone shouted dissatisfied: "Do you want us to use this for testing?"
On the other hand, Lin Bai calmly picked up the piece of wood. The octane explosion began to circulate on its own, and all the spiritual power in his body poured into several major acupuncture points on his wrist.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of a sharp wooden blade cutting through the air rang in everyone's ears. At the same time, a small piece of wood pierced the bullseye a hundred miles away, directly piercing the bullseye.
The bullseye made of black iron instantly shattered into pieces.
Everyone was dumbfounded. They couldn't believe what they saw. Black iron is the strongest material. It is difficult for ordinary weapons to penetrate it, let alone a small piece of wood.
As soon as Lin Bai put down his hand, he received enthusiastic looks from everyone. The waiter's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Congratulations on your success!"
The others looked at each other, speechless. After all, just because Lin Bai could do it, he was overthinking it.
This piece of wood is very light. If you use force it doesn't mean they can do it.
Lin Bai calmly walked out of the examination room and took the next exam. He did not notice the resentful eyes behind him.
Seeing that he could do this so easily, people couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful. Maybe it wasn't as difficult as they thought. But when they really started to try, they found that the originality was not enough and they would fall.
Half. Even if the force is sufficient, since there are no sharp edges, being able to sink an inch or two into the bullseye is already the limit, let alone pierce the bullseye.
They were more and more impressed by Lin Bai's actions just now. They didn't know how he did it.
The strength test alone has eliminated many people.
"Congratulations on passing the first test. Now is the second test. I hope everyone can continue to work hard."
Lin Bai looked at the piece of paper in his hand. The word "speed" was written on it.
Following the leader, they came to an empty hall... He couldn't help but wonder what this exam would be like.
