Chapter 32 Join
"Only 0.01%?"

Lin Ze frowned slightly, the soul energy provided by the steel soldier worm was much less than he expected.

You must know that in Honglian's knife-casting formula, steel attribute soul energy accounts for 36%, based on 0.01% of the soul energy of a steel soldier worm, wouldn't it be necessary to hunt and kill a full 3600 steel soldier worms?

Even if 100 heads are killed every day, it will take almost 36 game days, not to mention the other four types of soul energy.

The main difference between the upper level knife casting formula and the middle and lower level knife casting formula is that the former has 1 or 2 more soul energy than the latter, and most of them are rare soul energy.

For example, the 1% sacred soul energy required by the red lotus formula, Lin Ze has checked the insect beast atlas, and this kind of soul energy generally only exists in high-level insect beasts, such as holy rail insects.

It is so difficult to collect the most basic steel attribute soul energy, let alone the rare soul energy behind it, the difficulty of casting the advanced knife casting formula can be seen from this.

"No wonder it is said that the power of the upper level soul knives is far stronger than that of the middle and lower level soul knives."

There are gains and losses, Lin Ze shook his head secretly, and looked up at Instructor Liu.

"You have met the minimum clearance conditions for the assessment, do you want to continue?"

"Of course!" Lin Ze nodded without hesitation, how could such a convenient opportunity to absorb soul energy be let go.

Instructor Liu nodded and raised his hand to make a gesture. After a short while, ear-piercing hissing came from behind the open iron fence door.

Two steel soldier worms came out of the darkness one after the other, their iron-gray carapaces shone with a metallic luster under the light.

Looking at the two ferocious steel soldier worms, Lin Ze's face was much calmer.

Judging from the battle just now, the steel soldier worm's strength is far inferior to him, as long as he is careful, it is not difficult to deal with it.

This is still in the case of being unable to use Qi because of the need to keep secrets, otherwise the battle will be easier.

Seeing the two steel soldier worms rushing fiercely, Lin Ze did not choose to be tough, but quickly walked around the room, allowing the two steel soldier worms to gradually distance themselves, then turned back suddenly, and stabbed the steel soldier worms that were chasing behind him with a knife. Inside Bing Chong's head, with a vigorous stir, his life was instantly harvested, and then the remaining one was dealt with calmly.

0.02% of the soul can be obtained!
Lin Ze chose to continue, and repeated the same trick to deal with 3 and 4 steel soldier worms one after another.

On the platform, Instructor Liu stood with folded arms, watching the whole battle in his eyes.

Although the defense of the Steel Soldier Bug is strong, its head is an out-and-out weakness. In addition, the steering is not flexible, so Lin Ze, who is agile, restrains him to death, and basically does not pose any threat unless he releases eight or nine at the same time. Only by blocking Lin Ze's activity space can he fall into a desperate situation.

At this time, there was no need for the assessment to continue. Instructor Liu directly gestured to terminate the assessment, and then wrote an S on the assessment evaluation form, looked up at Lin Ze, dropped a word and left.

"You are very good!"

Looking at the back of Instructor Liu leaving, Lin Ze couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, he still wanted to absorb more soul energy.

Leaving the room, Lin Ze was quickly taken to a reception room. Not long after he sat down, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came in and greeted him with a smile.

Lin Ze glanced at the half-bald head of the other party, and responded with a smile.

In the self-introduction of the other party, Lin Ze quickly knew that the middle-aged man was called Guo Rong.

"First of all, congratulations on successfully passing the examination, Mr. Lin, you are now a trainee swordsmith!"

"According to the usual practice, you can choose one of the three major organizations to join next. Do you have a favorite goal? Or I can show you the treatment and benefits provided by the three major organizations first, and then you can choose." Guo Rong seemed Very enthusiastic.

Lin Ze saw it in his eyes, and knew that his assessment and evaluation had an effect. After thinking about it, he asked: "Do I have to join the three major organizations?"

Guo Rong was taken aback for a moment, apparently he didn't expect Lin Ze to ask such a question, he realized it after a few seconds, and said with a dumb smile: "Of course not, the trainee knife maker can also choose not to join any organization, but in this way, the knife casting formula Obtaining it is a difficult problem. According to the regulations of the Blackstone Inhabited Area, all the formulas for casting knives are strictly controlled by the three major organizations, and leakage is prohibited. If you don’t want to join the three major organizations, then you can only try your luck in the ruins of the city. See if you can find the legacy of a dead knifesmith, of course, it's hard to do!"

So in fact, it is equivalent to compulsory joining!

Lin Ze knew it in his heart, and pondered: "Please let me take a look at the salary and welfare information of the Swordsmith Guild and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce."

"No problem." Guo Rong smiled deeply, took out two documents from his briefcase, and handed them to Lin Ze, "You can watch slowly."

Lin Ze nodded, took the document and read it carefully.

After a while, he already had a general understanding.

The so-called joining an organization is actually signing a labor contract, and depending on the time limit, the treatment and benefits are also different.

For example, the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce is divided into a lifetime contract and a ten-year contract. After signing the former, you can get a superior casting knife formula, an initial annual salary of 300 million credits, and a hardcover apartment near the core area, while the latter can only get an intermediate casting. Knife formula, initial annual salary of 100 million credits, and qualifications for residence and house purchase in ordinary areas.

While browsing the documents, Lin Ze casually said, "May I ask, what is the treatment for ordinary graduates?"

Guo Rong said with a smile: "Even if ordinary students sign a life-long contract, they can only get intermediate-level knife-casting formulas at most, most of which are low-level formulas. Only those who have just become trainee knife-casting masters like Mr. Lin can kill bulls on their own. The outstanding students of Steel Soldier Worm are worthy of the treatment given by the three major organizations to formulate superior knife-casting formulas."

The implication is that the other two organizations have similar treatment levels.

Lin Ze thanked him, took the documents of the Knifesmiths Guild and read them.

The contracts of the Knifesmiths Guild are also divided into lifelong and non-lifetime contracts, but they have been renamed as core members and registered members. It's the same, its relationship with the Knifesmiths Guild is more like a cooperative relationship.

Registered members can accept tasks issued by the Knifesmiths Guild, and earn merit points by completing tasks. The latter can be exchanged for credit points, intelligence, resources, and knife-making formulas in the union. Of course, they can be exchanged for lower-level knife-making formulas at most.

When Lin Ze saw this, his eyes lit up, without even thinking about it, he raised his head and said to Guo Rong, "I choose the Swordsmith Guild!"

Guo Rong smiled and said: "Core."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Ze interrupted: "Sign up as a member!"

Guo Rong's smile faltered, he was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin, maybe you didn't see clearly, registered members do not have any basic benefits and basic salary, and at most they can only be exchanged for lower-level knife casting formulas, but the core Members can directly get the superior knife casting formula!"

"I know." Lin Ze nodded calmly, "But I still choose to be a registered member."

If there is no red lotus formula, he might still reluctantly sign a lifetime contract with one of them, but now it is unnecessary, and it will restrict freedom.

As for the so-called high annual salary and hardcover apartment, what is the use to the player?
Guo Rong wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, forced a smile and said, "Mr. Lin, wait a moment, I'll go out!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly picked up his briefcase and left.

Four or five minutes later, the door of the reception room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with thick hair and bright eyes came in. His eyes fell on Lin Ze, and he flickered for a moment. Then he sat down opposite him and said with a smile:
"Hello, Mr. Lin, let me introduce myself. My name is Pan Zongchang, and I am the deacon of the Swordsmiths Guild."

"Hello." Lin Ze calmly nodded.

Pan Zongchang couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw this. He is not a person who holds his own status, but the deacon of the Knifesmiths Guild can be regarded as an upper-class figure in a residential area. Lin Ze was so calm.

But then he thought that the other party was a genius who could deal with four or five steel soldiers just after graduation, and he was not even interested in the benefits of the core members, so he was relieved.

"I would like to ask if Mr. Lin is dissatisfied with the treatment and benefits of our trade union. If so, we can negotiate again." Pan Zongchang smiled.

After all, he is a rare genius, so it is okay to raise the salary a little bit, and neither the president nor the elders will object.

Lin Ze shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, it's not a matter of remuneration, it's that I don't plan to sign any lifetime contracts."

Now Pan Zongchang frowned tightly.

Other aspects are fine, but the tenure system cannot be changed. If you don’t serve the organization for life, who is willing to spend a lot of money to train you? What if you become stronger and transfer to other organizations?
Pan Zongchang persuaded him for a while, seeing that Lin Ze was always determined, and even the superior knife casting formula couldn't impress him, so he had no choice but to give up.

"In that case, let's sign the contract now."

Anyway, I didn't let this genius join the other two, just register as a member, and hope that the other party can change their minds after realizing the cruelty of reality.

After signing the contract, Pan Zongchang and Lin Ze shook hands.

"Happy cooperation!"
