I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

"Moreover, what's displayed here is among the best batch. The stability and heat dissipation of these products are relatively high."

Lu Yuan made a quick estimate in his mind.

A piece the size of a fist is worth 15 points.

"Then cut it into 30 pieces for me."

It's about the size of two fists; that should be enough to keep us busy for a while.

Sigh. Lu Yuan shook his head and continued looking down.

Firefly skin, 30 points each.

A special insect that lives in firestone sheds its skin, which is extremely tough and can be worn to resist extreme cold.

Lu Yuan looked at the points, then glanced at the insect skin that was only enough to make a shirt, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

It's ridiculously expensive.

But this stuff lives inside firestone, so it's naturally meant to be exposed to heat. Therefore, you still have to buy it.

"Give me a piece of insect skin."

Plague Eye, 25 points per scroll. A type of fungus, carrying the effects of some kind of flame and curse.

"Even the plague-stricken one needs a scroll."

The three items together totaled 85 points. The 131 points in my account were suddenly reduced to a mere fraction.

Norbert stood to the side, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his face.

These materials were all sold through him.

Therefore, he receives a commission.

Frankly speaking, these things are actually a burden for the branch.

Because preservation is extremely demanding and maintenance is very expensive. Take the skin of the firefly, for example; it must be nurtured with fire-patterned stone, otherwise it will soon become unusable.

These few insect skins, and the firestones wasted over the years, when converted into points, amount to a rather frightening number, at least far exceeding their intrinsic value.

However, headquarters had ordered that this special material must be preserved.

Although Norbert didn't know the specific reason, he could roughly guess some of it.

Lu Yuan looked at the mere 46 points left in his account and helplessly pursed his lips.

Points really don't last long.

"Oh, right, Captain Norbert," Lu Yuan suddenly remembered something, "I need some more holy water. Withdraw all of my quota. If I enter the Knight Academy, I won't be able to get out for a while."

Norbert grinned.

"Okay, I'll give you a discount then," he said. "You can get 20 bottles of high-grade holy water, 40 bottles of mid-grade holy water, and 100 bottles of low-grade holy water. That's a total of 160 bottles. Since you're the team leader, according to our team rules, the whole set is worth 40 points. Then I'll give you another discount and charge you 30 points."

Lu Yuan nodded.

This price is quite reasonable.

"OK."

"Captain Lu, if you need anything next time, feel free to come over anytime." Norbert smiled very sincerely.

Where would I get so many points to buy things?

Lu Yuan inwardly complained, but outwardly said, "Okay."

"Please help me load these materials onto the truck," Lu Yuan continued, "and deliver them to the temporary branch of the Knight Academy in the city."

"No problem, I guarantee it will be delivered to you intact." Norbert readily agreed.

"In addition, we will provide a week's worth of material maintenance. For example, the firefly skin must be nurtured with firestone. We've prepared a week's worth for you, a lower concentration. After that, you'll need to take care of it yourself."

"I understand." Lu Yuan nodded.

Norbert then waved his hand, signaling for someone to arrange loading onto the truck.

She also whispered a few words in Norbert's ear before turning and leaving.

Norbert took the money and walked over to Lu Yuan.

He first handed over the money Vera had brought to Lu Yuan.

"Here is the Imperial Shield you obtained. Please tap it."

Norbert then returned another badge to Lu Yuan.

"Captain Lu, here is your badge. Keep it safe."

Lu Yuan took the badge, glanced at it, and paused for a moment.

On the bottom edge of the badge, there is a tiny emblem, about the size of a grain of rice.

It was a small row of squares, 24 in total.

Lu Yuan had never paid much attention to this row of squares before.

The first square contains a somewhat blurry pattern.

The second compartment contains a angular stone. Next to the stone pattern, a miniature design, resembling a bird's head, is carved.

"This grid signifies the branch's recognition of you," Norbert explained, following his gaze. "The entire Night's Watch system has countless branches. However, you only need the recognition of 24 branches to gain the maximum Night's Watch privileges. Of course, very few people can gather all of them. But with this pattern, you have gained recognition in Snowowl City."

Lu Yuan's gaze lingered on that row of squares for a moment.

Grimport. Bronze City. And Snowowl City.

"Okay." Lu Yuan nodded and put the badge away.

"Oh, by the way, Captain Lu, your badge has been recorded," Norbert continued.

"From now on, with this badge, you can freely enter and exit Snowowl City without having to queue at the main gate. Moreover, you will have full access to all the privileges of the Snowowl City Night Watchmen."

"Unless it's an emergency, we won't call you up for combat missions. Even in emergency missions, we'll only call you up for tasks that are within your capabilities. You can rest assured about that."

As he walked out of the underground passage leading to the special materials area, Norbert seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Oh, right, Captain Lu, there's one more step."

"Oh?"

"The spirit ritual I mentioned to you this morning," Norbert explained as they walked. "This procedure, in our terms, is called the second awakening of the spirit."

Lu Yuan recalled for a moment.

"Spirit Awakening, as you mentioned before," Lu Yuan said. "The materials are made into clothes, an inscription master engraves them, then spirit awakening is performed, and only after it's successful is it sent to the warehouse."

“Yes, that was the first time, the very first step,” Norbert continued. “The first step was to bring it to life. This step is to make it recognize you.”

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is significant, of course," Norbert laughed. "The little bit of intelligence inside the clothes isn't very familiar with you right now. You need to get to know it and establish a connection. Once that's established, it will do whatever you ask it to do, making operation and communication very smooth. Otherwise, things can easily go wrong."

"trouble?"

"A minor issue," Norbert waved his hand. "For example, if you ask it to tighten the collar, it'll tighten the sleeves. While it doesn't pose any real threat, it's certainly annoying."

Lu Yuan nodded.

He remembered that when he was in the warehouse, he had only had a fleeting thought, and the fabric at his waist had automatically tucked away a little bit.

This is still before they've acknowledged God, yet they can respond. What will happen after they've acknowledged God?

He's starting to look forward to it.

"It's just ahead."

This is the latest chapter.
