Since that's the case, a lot of black bamboo leaves are needed, and Senovon also needs black bamboo, so their goals are aligned.

Cooperation is the most efficient approach.

"Let's head to the industrial city as soon as possible. I've prepared everything; you just need to pack your personal belongings."

Senovong had a smile on his face the whole time; he was quite enthusiastic about the matter.

However, Lin Yan also felt that Senov was sometimes quite reliable.

In this way, he wouldn't need to prepare anything.

But then he joked.

"You think we're going on a spring outing?"

"Hehe, I just wanted to get such good materials as soon as possible. And since I've prepared everything, it saves you trouble."

"Ah."

Lin Yan nodded.

"I'll go first then. We'll meet up when you're ready."

"it is good."

Senovon, just like a child, turned and left.

Black bamboo grows in the mountainous areas north of industrial cities.

The area near the "Wall of Sinner" is a treacherous and desolate place. Humans simply cannot survive there, and attempting to harvest Black Gold Bamboo is extremely difficult. One wrong step and you'll be pulverized to death, leaving no trace.

"The citizenship of the 'Wall of Sinner' is not something that can be obtained by ordinary means. It is one of the ways for ordinary poor people to escape their fate, which is why they join the Legion."

"If you're born into a good family, then it's simple."

"It may not necessarily be a good thing."

"Forget it, the happiness of the rich and powerful is beyond our imagination," Senovon sighed.

This is true.

Even nobles estimated they had many enemies. Conservatives and reformers were at loggerheads, and if one got involved, one might encounter danger at any time.

"Actually, being a craftsman is quite good."

Lin Yan was just saying that casually; he never intended to stay in this world as a craftsman indefinitely.

"Do you want to become a citizen within the 'Wall of Sinner'? If it were you, the chances would be very high."

Senov said with a smile.

Lin Yan naturally had no interest in this matter whatsoever. No matter where he lived, as long as he continued to grow stronger, neither the giants nor the political parties within the city walls would pose any threat to him.

At this moment, a different kind of scenery came into view.

That's black bamboo.

The black bamboo grew in swathes, like a blanket of snow, giving off an extremely cold feeling. Senovon even felt that icy, winter-like chill.

“Is this what black bamboo was originally like? The bamboo around here…” Senovon discovered something interesting: the color of the base of the black bamboo was completely different from the color of the upper part. “The color of the bottom is the same as the color of the wild bamboo around here.”

"Could this be due to environmental factors?"

That ordinary bamboo has undergone a long period of sedimentation.

Then it grew into black bamboo.

"Perhaps it is related to the rare metal veins underground."

Rare underground mineral veins.

That may be the key.

“Lin Yan, should we investigate this further? I’m actually quite curious about it,” Senovon said, but Lin Yan remained silent.

Think for a moment.

He was also somewhat interested in that.

If it is true that black bamboo becomes black bamboo only after absorbing rare metal components, then the greatest value is realized only when the rare metals are absorbed by the bamboo.

"Forget it, we have important matters to attend to. Let's not let these trivial matters delay our most important things."

Lin Yan's thinking was still very clear.

There are priorities and degrees of importance in matters.

It's crucial to be clear about what needs to be prioritized. Otherwise, you'll be wasting your time and effort, which isn't Lin Yan's usual style.

Senov still trusted Lin Yan and had some respect and reliance on him.

This time, Lin Yan was invited to come along.

Firstly, they believed Lin Yan was a more reliable option. Secondly, they also wanted to curry favor with Lin Yan, as this was a friend they wanted to cherish.

This is more important than anything else.

"Well, you have a point."

"Then let's hurry up."

Senofon stared intently at the black bamboo, while Lin Yan was already prepared, and the two began to cut it down.

This time, Senofon agreed to help the Survey Corps captain, so he carried a heavy burden on his shoulders. Fortunately, with Lin Yan as his backer, Senofon felt much more at ease. He had already calculated the approximate amount of Black Gold Bamboo needed.

Based on the number of Survey Corps members, it's not hard to calculate, plus the spare short swords.

That would require at least sixty short swords.

This forest has about five hundred to seven hundred black bamboo trees. Lin Yan knew that resources should be used sparingly so that plants could have time to survive and grow. Cutting them all down at once would really make this plant extinct.

This is by no means a good solution.

Human nature is greedy.

If this news spreads, people will flock to it.

The only effective means is government intervention to regulate, and only the government has this capability.

These black bamboos need to be managed and harvested effectively...

Although black bamboo is not a non-renewable resource, it still takes time for it to be produced again. This is how black bamboo can continue to exist and not be completely depleted.

Everyone understands this principle, but sometimes they still can't resist the temptation.

Lin Yan had already decided that both the capture net and the short sword would be made within the industrial city, where the equipment was quite good. Moreover, Senovon could utilize the personnel of the industrial city; those craftsmen were at his disposal.

Making a capture net is a very tedious job.

First, heat the leaves of the black bamboo until only fibers remain. Then, spin the fibers into threads, twist several threads into ropes, and finally weave all the ropes into a net.

Patience is the most important thing.

Lin Yan is not an impatient person; he is very patient in doing things.

……

Time flew by, and it was already two days before departure.

Lin Yan and Senov rushed back to Shiganshina district.

The city center was very lively.

Especially taverns.

A large group of people gathered together, smiles on their faces. This leisurely life, however, could be shattered at any moment. If things didn't go smoothly with the Survey Corps, that day might not be far off.

Generally speaking, the Survey Corps will develop according to what Lin Yan knows.

One hundred years from now, the Survey Corps will become stronger and stronger.

They suffered heavy casualties in the battle against the giants.

However, there are also many young successors.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

The sky was a slightly dim color; it was already afternoon. The hotel was packed with people, and the air was thick with the smell of smoke and alcohol.

Aside from some casual conversation, they mainly talked about the Survey Corps.

The triumphant military parade is one of the most closely watched events.

The effects of the last giant attack have lessened, and people have seemingly returned to their normal lives. However, the inner trauma will linger for some time.

This is a good start.

"Is this all you've accomplished?"

Sorum looked at the short knives.

Maria sat beside him.

"Just be content."

Is this knife okay?

Sorum said, half-jokingly.

"Tsk tsk, I wonder how sharp it is. If it can't cut anything, then we'll really be laughed at."

"If you don't want it, then don't take it."

Senofon glared at Sorum as he spoke. This kid was usually so serious, why was he joking around at such a crucial moment?

Lin Yan could tell that Sorum was genuinely happy.

Since Lin Yan also went on this trip, the matter is now quite secure.

There is absolutely no need to question it.

There wasn't even the slightest bit of doubt.

"Alright, I'm not kidding anymore. You guys have worked hard this time." Sorum had been looking forward to this knife for a long time. He gently stroked the scabbard with his hand, as if he were caressing a priceless treasure.

His eyes were also full of anticipation.

"By the way, where's the capture net?"

"It went very smoothly."

"As expected of Lin Yan."

Maria said with a smile, "By the way, Corinna has been looking forward to your return; she's lost a lot of weight lately."

Love makes one haggard.

Although Maria didn't say it aloud, that's what she was thinking. Moreover, Maria had recently noticed a change in Lin Yan; he had become more manly, more trustworthy, and even reliable.

"By the way, are you going on this expedition?"

"Mary asked."

"Yes, that's right. I volunteered to participate in this expedition. Going out is the most effective way. Otherwise, if I, as a participant, don't even understand the giants, I'll likely encounter obstacles in the research process later."

"But there are so many giants outside the wall, you..."

"If Sorum can go, why can't I? Don't worry, both Sorum and I will return safely."

Lin Yan knew.

Once he participates in the expedition, he can at least ensure that the number of casualties is minimized. Since Lin Yan has come to the world of Attack on Titan, and it's a prequel to Attack on Titan, then even if his influence is small, it will bring about a great change to this world seventy years later.

He is not someone who cares about the well-being of all people.

However, he is not a cold-blooded person.
