Douluo: Lord of Arms
Chapter 62 Welfare
Chapter 62 Welfare
After seeing Lin Xingyu kill two flying dragons in a life-threatening manner, Wei Jingming said with some admiration: "Just looking at his desperate momentum, I will give him the highest evaluation within my authority. It's time for him to be teleported out."
Seeing Lin Xingyu lying powerlessly on the grass, Wei Jingming pressed a button nearby and Lin Xingyu was teleported out.
There was a flash of light, and when Lin Xingyu opened his eyes again, he found himself on the metal platform.
Wei Jingming was standing in front of him, holding a water lily in his hand. The petals were layered, as soft and delicate as silk, some white with a shimmering glow, some pink with a blush. Golden stamens dotted among them, shining like stars.
At the same time, seven soul rings appeared on his body - purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black. The fourth soul ring lit up, and a silver light shone from his hand onto Lin Xingyu's body. Lin Xingyu instantly felt a sense of peace.
This was Wei Jingming's fourth soul skill—mental soothing—and it was also an important reason why he came here as a tester. As a rare spiritual master, he held a very high position among the War God Temple's reserve forces.
As soon as Lin Xingyu was teleported out, he raised his hand to support his forehead, as if he was in great pain. After all, he still had to pay attention to details and pretend that he had lost his memory in there to avoid them from getting suspicious.
"Relax, you've already come out, there won't be any danger, calm down and concentrate!" Wei Jingming released his soul skills while speaking softly to comfort Lin Xingyu.
Gradually, feeling that the performance was almost complete, Lin Xingyu pretended to have recovered and stood up, asking, "Did I pass the test?"
Wei Jingming and Duanmu Yan laughed at the same time and looked at each other. Wei Jingming said, "I give you the highest praise for passing this assessment. Most Soul Masters would have their entire soul power completely sealed off after less than two hours in there. You've been in there for four hours, which is already considered excellent. How is it? Do you feel any discomfort anywhere? Tell me, I won't be responsible if you leave this room."
"Well, there are basically no problems now. It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable suddenly being in two different environments."
"This is normal. Go back and meditate once, and it will basically be fine."
"Can I enter this little world next time?"
"After you join the Temple of War God, judging from your authority, it seems that you have already realized the benefits of being there." Wei Jingming said meaningfully.
"Yes, after a battle in there, I feel that my soul power has become more solid. It is much better than my usual meditation."
"Okay, now that there are no problems, let's move on to the next test. Old Wei, let's give a summary. After you join the Temple of War God, you can slowly look at these benefits." Duanmu Yan said.
After hearing what Duanmu Yan said, Wei Jingming didn't hesitate to take out a form and wrote something on it. He quickly handed it to Duanmu Yan and said, "In that case, I won't send it off. I'll give it to you."
Duanmu Yan took Lin Xingyu out of the door with the form, walked through a long corridor, and finally stopped in front of a door. He knocked on the door, and it opened. An old man with white hair and beard, exuding a scholarly air, stood there. "You're here to bring in another newcomer for the assessment. How old is this little guy? You let him in?"
Duanmu Yan bowed to the old man and said, "He's not even ten years old yet, and he's already a fourth-level mecha designer."
Hearing Duanmu Yan's answer, the old man was also a little shocked, "No wonder, come in."
The old man turned and looked at Lin Xingyu and said, "Your secondary occupation is a mecha designer. Go to that soul guide and answer the questions until you can't answer them. The deadline is two hours."
After listening to the old man's words, Lin Xingyu imitated Duanmu Yan, bowed to the old man, and then sat down in the soul guide device to start answering questions.
At the beginning, it was just the most basic soul guide pattern design. As Lin Xingyu answered, the questions became more and more difficult. Relying on the memory brought by his "high-dimensional vision", Lin Xingyu answered them all easily one by one without any pause in between.
……
Two hours later, the old man looked at Lin Xingyu's results in amazement. All correct! Not a single mistake.
"My name is Wang Haoyang. I'm an eighth-level mecha designer. Do you have a teacher? Would you like to be my disciple?" said the old man.
Lin Xingyu thought for a moment and said, "Sorry." If the other party was a ninth-level mecha designer, he might have become his apprentice, but eighth-level mecha designers were not uncommon on the mainland, and he could rely on his "high-dimensional vision" to guide mecha design and did not need help from others.
"That's right." The old man said with some regret. He casually took out a thick book and handed it to Lin Xingyu, saying, "This is some of my experience in mecha design. If you are willing, you can take a look."
Lin Xingyu looked at the books handed to him by the old man and hesitated for a moment.
"Take it. It's not a precious thing. Add me as a friend through the communication soul guide. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me. I will answer them for you." The old man said.
"In that case, I cannot refuse a gift from an elder, so I will accept it. Thank you, senior." After saying that, Lin Xingyu took the book handed over by the old man.
Lin Xingyu's answer made the old man very happy.
"Okay, full marks, you can go." The old man took the paper handed to him by Duanmu Yan, wrote the evaluation on it, and then returned it.
After bidding farewell to the old man, Duanmu Yan took Lin Xingyu to conduct various tests.
After three hours of hard work, Lin Xingyu faced the solemn and dignified Temple of War and solemnly completed his final oath. Thus, the last review and approval process was finally successfully completed.
It took a busy day.
"Here, this is your ID card. Your personal information has been uploaded to the main desk of the Temple of War God. From now on, you will be a member of the reserve force of the Temple of War God!" Duanmu Yan handed an ID card to Lin Xingyu.
Lin Xingyu reached out to take his ID card, his eyes instantly drawn to it as he examined it with great interest. This ID card, meticulously forged from some unknown special metal, felt heavy to the touch, its surface meticulously polished to a smooth, mirror-like finish, its texture superior. Duanmu Yan looked at Lin Xingyu and said, "Since you've joined the War God Temple, you must abide by its rules. You've just learned the details. For younger spirit masters like you, the War God Temple's requirements are not strict, so I won't elaborate further."
"Next, I will tell you about the benefits of our War God Temple."
Hearing this, Lin Xingyu immediately perked up. Why did he join the Temple of War God? Wasn't it just to gain his benefits?
Seeing Lin Xingyu's expression, Duanmu Yan was speechless for a moment, then smiled and said, "First, the War God Temple reserve has nine levels of authority. Your authority is level seven, the highest authority you can be given upon entry. You deserve this privilege only if you perform well here."
"Different permissions have different functions. First, the various materials exchanged in our War God Temple are usually divided into three categories. The first is the spiritual items category. Here, there are various spiritual items, including top-grade spiritual and soul-forging metals, as well as various thousand-year-old spiritual medicines. The prices offered to you here are the lowest. No matter where you look outside, the prices here are higher. This is considered a preferential treatment for you. Of course, this is just a small matter. The important thing is that there are many treasures here that you can't buy outside. Those are the truly valuable items. You are currently at level seven permissions, so you can buy items here. I will give you a 30% discount."
Hearing this, Lin Xingyu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then wouldn't the level one permission allow you to buy things at a 10% discount at most?"
"I knew you all had this idea. What are you thinking? The lowest discount here is 50%. Even if it's for training you, I still have to charge a little bit of money. Even so, it's still a loss."
Duanmu Yan suddenly said meaningfully: "This is much better than other organizations out there."
"Also, all items you purchase here are for your own use only. They may not be given away, sold, or resold in any way. Even if you lose them, you must register them! This is extremely important, so remember it."
Lin Xingyu nodded. It seemed that the Temple of War God had produced many talents in the past.
Seeing that Lin Xingyu had listened carefully, Duanmu Yan continued, "The second is souls. Levels seven to nine can apply for a thousand-year-old soul for free. Levels four to six can apply for a soul under thirty thousand years old for free. Level one can apply for a soul under ninety thousand years old for free. Of course, there's only one chance in a lifetime. Once you use it with levels seven to nine, you'll never have another chance. Many of the souls here are specially collected by the War God Temple, and their quality is absolutely high enough. Even compared to those privately stored in the Spirit Transferring Tower, they're definitely not inferior."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Yan's tone suddenly became a little indignant.
Lin Xingyu pretended not to hear and continued to wait for Duanmu Yan's explanation.
Duanmu Yan went on to say, "Finally, it's about the martial arts. The Temple of War God has collected the unique martial arts of most of the powerful people since the founding of the Federation. You can go in there to exchange them. In addition, with your level seven authority, you can receive some unique martial arts every month. You can take a look at them. Do remember that all of these things are for your own use only and are not allowed to be passed on to others." Duanmu Yan repeated again.
After Lin Xingyu solemnly promised that the information would not be spread outside, Duanmu Yan continued, "In addition, you will receive a monthly subsidy. This subsidy will be paid until you turn twenty-five or achieve Soul Sage status. The amount of the subsidy will also be linked to your personal authority."
"Reaching the Soul Saint level already makes you a powerful being. The War God Temple's training for your early days of weakness has come to an end. The remaining resources will be up to you to fight for, compete for, and seize."
"As for the methods of increasing your authority, there are currently three. The first is that the Temple of War will occasionally issue some tasks, but it is difficult for you to take on these tasks with your strength. Most of these tasks are completed by seniors above level 70. The second is to work hard to improve yourself, whether it is cultivation or secondary profession. As long as your level is high, your authority will be increased. The third and final method is to charge the tower. The Temple of War has a virtual battle tower. The higher the level you fight in it, the more resources you will get. You have good combat power, you can go in and give it a try."
After hearing Duanmu Yan's introduction, Lin Xingyu's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Senior, I actually have something to tell you. I am already a level 5 mecha designer."
Hearing Lin Xingyu's words, Duanmu Yan was stunned. His feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, his face full of astonishment, his eyes wide open, his mouth slightly open, and he stood there in a daze for a long time.
"You...you, you are already a level five mecha designer?" Duanmu Yan spoke a little unsteadily. Level four to level five is a qualitative change, just like a blacksmith's change from thousand forging to spiritual forging.
It is not uncommon to be a fourth-level mecha designer before the age of ten, and there are quite a few in the entire Douluo Continent. However, a fifth-level mecha master is a qualitative change. From level one to level four, a soul master can learn it as long as he is willing to work hard, but when it comes to level five, it is not something that can be learned easily. To be at level five, one needs to read and understand the runes of heaven and earth.
It took Duanmu Yan a long time to recover.
Lin Xingyu continued, "Senior, in this case, my authority level should be able to be upgraded, right?"
"You're not kidding?"
"I'm not kidding!" Lin Xingyu's expression was very serious.
"In this case, there will be no problem for you to upgrade to level six authority. Maybe there is some hope for level five authority. Forget it, the hope for level five authority is not great. Come with me." Duanmu Yan said with some resentment. He had been busy all day, and he didn't expect to have to work overtime!
Duanmu Yan hurried, dragging Lin Xingyu along as they quickly found Wang Haoyang. When Duanmu Yan introduced Lin Xingyu to Wang Haoyang, saying he was a Level 5 Frame Engineer, the old man's expression changed instantly. First, he was startled, his eyes flashing with disbelief. His expression of shock was like a stone dropped into a calm lake, sending ripples across it.
Then, his expression froze, his eyes fixed, and the muscles on his face seemed to stop moving. He fell into a stagnation, as if time had stood still at that moment. Witnessing the old man's series of wonderful and subtle changes in expression, Lin Xingyu secretly sighed with amusement.
"Are you already a level five mecha designer?" The old man's voice was a little hoarse.
"Yes, Senior."
Elder Lin Xingyu seemed to think for a moment, then quickly took out a piece of paper and a pen. "Just make a level five design here. As long as it's level five, it'll be fine."
Lin Xingyu walked to the table without wasting any words, picked up a pen and entered the state of "high-dimensional vision". All kinds of patterns of heaven and earth were clearly visible in front of him. After a little thought, Lin Xingyu began to sketch out patterns. As Lin Xingyu wrote, his soul power and mental power began to be consumed rapidly.
Wang Haoyang and Duanmu Yan stared at Lin Xingyu intently, as if they would miss something if they blinked.
Half an hour passed quietly, Lin Xingyu completely absorbed, his pen moving relentlessly across the paper. Finally, with a soft exhale, he placed the final stroke firmly on the page. Instantly, a stunningly exquisite hand-nail pattern emerged from the paper, its lines flowing and delicate, every detail seemingly meticulously crafted, brimming with artistic beauty.
The old man quickly stepped forward and looked at Lin Xingyu's work. After a long while, the old man slowly said, "It is indeed a level 5 mecha design."
