Chapter 40 Federal Craftsmen Association
The next morning, Marcus summoned Leon and Danica to the director's office.

After listening to Li Ang recount the events of the previous night in detail, the police chief, whose skin was dark red, immediately frowned.

Like Danica, he didn't think the city guard commander was the mastermind.

That leaves only two people.

The head of the finance bureau and the city lord.

Marcus already had a general idea of ​​who it was.

After a moment of silence, he said to Li Ang and the other man, "I will go to discuss this with the city guard commander. You don't need to investigate for now."

Upon hearing this, Li Ang immediately understood, after all, Marcus's attitude was one answer.

He had no objection to the other party's arrangements; after all, he wasn't some kind of champion of justice.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Li Ang always wanted to quietly grind experience points, but things always seemed to find him on their own.

He had considered resigning, but the problem was that the requirement for becoming an unregistered citizen was to work for the police department, and he couldn't just run away before the month was up.

If he were to do that, Li Ang felt he might revert to being a prisoner again.
After leaving the director's office, Li Ang glanced at Danica, who looked relaxed beside him, clearly pleased with the prospect of a period of peace and quiet ahead.

After a brief moment of thought, he said, "Captain, I'd like to ask for a day off to find a new place to stay."

Li Ang didn't want to continue living in that room with a huge hole.

Danica readily approved his leave request: "Okay, remember to let me know if you find any good properties."

After nodding in agreement with the tall woman, Li Ang left the police station.

As for the new residence, he had already found one last night. It was a detached house that was neither too far nor too close to the police station, and it even had a basement.

Li Ang went there mainly for the basement, so he could do some more secretive things.

The monthly fee of 2,000 Star Coins is already quite expensive.

It's just one month's rent as deposit and one month's rent in advance, which is much better than those heartless landlords before he transmigrated who wouldn't refund the deposit even if it was paid in full.

This was still manageable for Li Ang, who had received a large bonus, not to mention that he would likely have additional income after becoming a first-tier craftsman.

After contacting the agent to view the house and confirming that there were no problems, he signed the contract.

Looking at the empty living room, Li Ang nodded in satisfaction.

In any case, he finally felt a sense of belonging in this world, even though he didn't buy the house.

'Alright, it's time to go check out the Federal Craftsmen's Association.'

Li Ang's reason for taking a day off was not simply to find a new place to live, but more so because he wanted to visit the Federal Craftsmen Association.

He looked up information online last night and finally understood why it felt familiar.

The entry for the Federal Craftsmen's Association is linked to the craftsmen; he must have seen it when he last looked up relevant information.

The association was not far from Li Ang's new residence, and he arrived at his destination in less than twenty minutes.

As soon as I entered the association's lobby, a smiling female staff member greeted me: "Hello sir, what kind of service do you need?"

"I want to register as a first-level craftsman."

Since he was already here, Li Ang was definitely going to try to become a first-tier craftsman certified by the association.

After all, for a profession like alchemy, working in isolation is bound to lead nowhere.

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, the female staff member's eyes lit up, and she immediately led him to the counter:
"Sir, please fill in some basic information first." The information required is minimal, including citizen number, whether you are a [Craftsman] type of professional, and what school of technology you have studied.

When the staff member next to her saw that Li Ang had chosen a profession other than "craftsman", her eyes flickered slightly, but her smile remained unchanged.

There are quite a few people like Li Ang who are not craftsmen and come to take the first-level craftsman exam, but most of them are just trying it out and very few succeed.

However, the staff will not neglect these people because of this. After all, who knows if they will succeed? There is no need to offend someone who may become a craftsman for such a trivial matter.

After Li Ang finished filling in all the information, she greeted him with a standard smile and said, "Hello sir, participating in the first-tier craftsman assessment requires a payment of 10,000 Star Coins. May I ask how you would like to pay?"

Li Ang was all too familiar with the practice of charging money for exams, and this did indeed filter out many people who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

He readily paid 10,000 Star Coins via his bracelet.

After the payment was completed, the female staff member led Li Ang to a room with a huge furnace.

"The next assessment will be conducted by official members of the association. Please wait a moment."

After speaking, she bowed and left.

Seeing that he was the only one left in the room, Li Ang began to look around. Then he noticed a lot of metal and something that looked somewhat familiar in front of the furnace.

Just as he was about to step closer to take a closer look, a voice rang out behind him.

"Are you the person we're looking to assess this time?"

Li Ang turned his head and saw a young man in a black robe looking him up and down.

He nodded upon hearing the question.

Seeing this, the young man pointed to the materials in front of the furnace: "The first step of the assessment is very simple. First, identify these materials and then tell me."

After saying this, he began operating the instrument in his hand, preparing to record the information Li Ang had said.

There was no contempt, no harassment, only cold, hard efficiency.

This was Li Ang's first impression of the association.

Without hesitation, he immediately used [Basic Construction Science] to begin identifying the materials before the furnace.

The metals mentioned earlier are nothing special; they are mostly iron and copper, with small amounts of gold, silver, and the special fire crystal numbered 9527.

Upon hearing Li Ang recite the basic information about the metal minerals in the room without the slightest hesitation, the young man nodded slightly.

In his view, the participants in this assessment were basically qualified in terms of distinguishing common metal ores.

But not enough.

Of all the materials that need to be distinguished, the last one is the most important.

Meanwhile, Li Ang had arrived at the document that looked somewhat familiar to him.

Soon, thanks to the [Basic Construction Science], a somewhat rudimentary intelligence report appeared on his panel.

[Unnamed Zerg Carapace: A Zerg carapace crafted based on Dragon scales.]

The main storyline is about to come to an end.
