Chapter 135 No more shame
Then, Yan Tianrong personally brought Jiang Lin a wooden token representing the master.
It's nothing special, just a symbol of honor.
The other people did not receive such high treatment, and only the craftsman Yu Maoming issued the tokens.
Despite this, several people were still very happy.
Several other unsuccessful masters did not leave immediately. They only left after witnessing the birth of five masters.
They have to go back to make preparations and help promote the South Blacksmith Camp.
The more people who apply for the selection, the less shameful they will be. There is strength in numbers, and the law does not punish the masses.
When a person changes jobs, he does so with interests first.
A lot of people are changing jobs, that’s the general trend!
After the master chef evaluation, Jiang Lin also showed off his extraordinary skills under Yuan Gaohao's reminder.
After being fired, hammered, and quenched, a mere piece of iron can directly reach the upper third grade.
Yu Maoming personally picked up the long sword that had not yet been sharpened, and the six entropy patterns were clearly visible.
His face was full of admiration, he stroked the entropy pattern on the sword, and after a long time he looked at Jiang Lin.
"I'm not as good as you."
Starting from an apprentice, he became a formal blacksmith, then a master, an assistant blacksmith, and now he is a blacksmith.
Along the way, Yu Maoming has seen many talented people.
But no one can be as stunningly talented as Jiang Lin.
Using only mortal iron, you can actually create a third-grade weapon.
Yu Maoming himself can only reach the top of the fifth rank at most.
Although the difference is only two levels, which may not seem like much, don't forget that he has been immersed in this way for decades.
Maybe those blacksmiths who are privately supported by the powerful can also do this, but in the Foundry Department, they are the only one.
Yu Maoming looked at Jiang Lin and asked: "Next year's regular test, do you want to participate in the deputy craftsman evaluation?"
Jiang Lin shook his head without hesitation and said: "I won't participate."
He just wanted to improve his proficiency in blacksmithing skills. What would he do as an assistant craftsman? It would be too much of a delay.
Yuan Gaohao and Zhao Yankui next to them both looked strange. They stood out from tens of thousands of people and managed to reach their current position with great difficulty.
Jiang Lin had no interest in the position of assistant craftsman that others envied.
I don’t know whether to admire him or what.
Yu Maoming laughed and said: "It's okay not to participate. With your talent, the right way is to concentrate on forging iron. I really want to see how far you can go on this road and how high you can climb!"
Yu Maoming was very happy to see the emergence of a young genius.
He sincerely hopes that Jiang Lin will not be infected by vulgar things and can concentrate on improving his skills.
Even if he is not as good as the immortals like the Patriarch, he can at least stand near the top.
Yan Tianrong glanced at Yu Maoming and said: "That's wrong. The deputy chief craftsman is not a meddlesome person, but he can stand higher and see further. It is said that three thousand roads lead to the same destination by different roads, so how can there be distinction between good and bad."
If Jiang Lin doesn't become the deputy craftsman, Yan Tianrong will lose the opportunity to get closer to him. Naturally, he doesn't want this to happen.
Yu Maoming did not refute, because he believed in his heart that Jiang Lin could distinguish right from wrong and walk his own path.
Jiang Lin didn't argue with Yan Tianrong. What others said about how to go didn't count. His own decision was the real one.
Afterwards, Yan Tianrong personally organized the game and took several people to have lunch to deepen their relationship.
Blacksmith Qi and others were all drunk and walked in a daze.
Until he returned to the blacksmith camp, he fell on the bed and fell asleep.
Several familiar blacksmiths came over and asked Jiang Lin and Blacksmith Qi if they had become master masters.
Jiang Lin shook his head, and several people were shocked. Didn't it work?
How is it possible? Jiang Lin smiled and said: "Not only Master Qi and I, but also Master Tang, Master Li, plus Master Ma from the former North Blacksmith Camp, there are five people in total."
Several blacksmiths were stunned. Didn't they say there were only two people? Why did it suddenly become five?
And there is an outsider!
They were even more surprised when they learned that Master Ma was actually the master of the North Blacksmith Camp.
Did the masters from other camps also participate in the competition?
But looking back, this is nothing surprising.
South Blacksmith Camp is not bad now. It wants a house and high-quality ironware, and it is eight blocks ahead of other Blacksmith Camps.
Salaries have increased, but the only thing lacking is the number of people.
But this is nothing!
The number of people who have signed up to participate in the selection in the past few days has exceeded 500, and it is still increasing.
I estimate that in two days, there may be seven or eight hundred people.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
If Jiang Lin hadn't insisted on testing his skills first, the number of people in the South Blacksmith Camp would have been at least 1,500.
Perhaps there is still a gap compared to other blacksmith camps with two to three thousand at every turn, but it is not that big anymore.
From a small blacksmith camp with only a few hundred people, it has quickly grown into a nearly large blacksmith camp with more than a thousand people and is coveted by many people.
Both the master blacksmith and the apprentices admire Jiang Lin.
They know very well that without Jiang Lin, there would be no current South Blacksmith Camp. Even Zhao Yankui, the only assistant craftsman, actually relied on Jiang Lin to get promoted.
Otherwise, that position should have belonged to Yuan Bingqi.
……
Two days later, the South Blacksmith Camp stopped accepting registrations, and the second expansion selection began one day later.
More than 700 people came to South Blacksmith Camp at the same time to participate in this rare event.
Originally, many people were still worried, fearing that they would lose face when meeting acquaintances.
After the results came, they discovered that there were so many people. What surprised them most was that several of their own masters also came.
From the three major blacksmith camps in the east, west, north and west, each family had at least two people, and some had more than three people.
Now everyone is no longer under pressure. Even the master master can't resist this temptation. What else do they have to worry about!
After one test after another, the fittest survived, and finally 300 people were selected to join the South Blacksmith Camp.
Jiang Lin also expanded the reserve team to forty people as he said before, each with a set of eighth-grade iron tools.
There are also twenty people in the elite blacksmith team, each with a set of fourth-grade iron tools.
The news that he can use mortal iron to forge third-grade weapons has already spread. Blacksmiths, whether they have joined or not, are looking forward to seeing Jiang Lin forge a complete set of third-grade iron weapons as soon as possible.
Even if you don’t use it yourself, you will still find it enjoyable just looking at it!
It's just that Jiang Lin didn't plan to do this immediately. He wanted to stabilize it first and wait for the newcomers to integrate into the Southern Blacksmith Camp.
When this happened, he left the South Blacksmith Camp and planned to go home again.
It has been nearly a month since I last went home, and I wonder if those people in the world have hunted any good monsters.
It would be great if we could get the remains of a third-grade monster beast.
They are sold directly in shops in Kyoto, but the prices are horribly expensive.
The remains of any third-grade demonic beast would cost at least several thousand taels of silver, and not just for sale.
With Jiang Lin's current financial resources, it is obvious that he cannot afford it, so he can only continue to pursue the ideas of those in the world.
Considering the unexpected situation he encountered before, Jiang Lin also took away the second-grade arrows with the effect of tarsal maggots, and carried the eight-stone bow borrowed from Liao Mingxu.
With this set of things, Jiang Lin would have the confidence to give it a try even if the martial arts were at its peak, not to mention some people in the martial world who were only at the fourth or fifth level of martial arts!
Please follow up. The next two chapters will be later. I have been too busy during the day recently and I am too tired to stay up too late.
