"However, before that."
"Let's go get something to eat first."
Tang Wulin pointed to the cafeteria not far away and said.
The cafeteria of the Intermediate Department was in a small building next to the main teaching building. The building had three floors, each serving the six grades of the Intermediate Department.
The first and second grades were on the first floor, the third and fourth grades were on the second floor, and the top floor was for the fifth and sixth grades.
At the same time, the academy's food was divided into three grades: A, B, and C. Meal C was free, while the relatively better Meal B and the best Meal A were much more expensive.
"Meal C seems to be buns and vegetable soup?"
"Eat whatever, I don't know how much I can eat."
Tang Wulin recalled and couldn't help but wonder.
He was quite curious about this meal that had shaped the original character's "big eater" persona in the original work.
"Let's go."
"Hmm? Do you want to eat this?"
As soon as they entered, Xie Xie looked at Tang Wulin, who was standing in front of Meal C, and couldn't help but ask in confusion.
That seemed to be just a bun, it didn't look very appetizing.
"I want to try it."
Tang Wulin walked over and casually took two buns, saying.
"This seems to be free, such a big bun, not bad."
Xie Xie also followed along and picked up a bun, sighing with emotion.
It had to be said that the portion was indeed not small. The bun was as big as a palm. Even for soul masters with a very large appetite, eating a few more would be enough to fill them up.
Most importantly, this thing was free. For ordinary students who didn't have much money, it was a good way to save money.
"Hmm..."
"I feel like this thing isn't that filling."
Soon after, Tang Wulin, who was holding a bowl of vegetable soup, sighed and muttered.
"It feels like after having the Golden Dragon King's bloodline."
"My appetite is really like a bottomless pit."
He couldn't help but think so.
This was not a big problem. After all, he was the Golden Dragon King, so it was fine for him to have a bigger appetite, right?
"Did I eat too much?"
Tang Wulin finished the soup in his hand, took out a tissue from his soul tool and wiped his mouth, then looked at Xie Xie and smiled.
Elegance never went out of style.
"..."
At this moment, Xie Xie was completely at a loss in the cold wind. His face was filled with a strange expression. He just nodded silently.
It wasn't that he said anything, but he, who could feel full after eating four buns, watched Tang Wulin eat... 134 buns right in front of him.
134 buns, what was that concept!
If that was all, it would have been fine, but the other party had eaten all of these - and still didn't feel full!
"It is said that the stronger a person is, the more they eat..."
"No wonder he was able to punch me away with one punch. It turns out that Brother Lin can eat so much food..."
A faint look appeared on Xie Xie's face, and he couldn't help but think silently.
As expected of Brother Lin, he was terrifying.
"I have something to do."
"I'll go out first, Xie Xie."
Tang Wulin slowly stood up and looked at the other party in front of him, saying slowly.
"Okay, Brother Lin."
"Take your time."
Xie Xie nodded immediately and replied.
"It's time to go to the Blacksmith Association."
"I wonder what kind of sign-in reward I can get this time."
After leaving the cafeteria, Tang Wulin walked towards the academy's exit, his heart filled with anticipation.
"In a small place like Aolai City, there was no blacksmith level evaluation. This time, I can make up for the previous one."
Tang Wulin chuckled.
...
The Blacksmith Association of East Sea City was located not far from East Sea Academy. It was a gray skyscraper with more than 30 floors.
Its appearance was also very recognizable. There was a huge hammer pattern on the top of the building. With this pattern, there was no need for a nameplate. Anyone would know what kind of place it was.
"The Blacksmith Association of this era."
"It's really not ordinary."
Walking into the glass door on the first floor and looking at the scene in front of him, Tang Wulin couldn't help but sigh.
In front of him was a ten-meter-high glass wall, and on the wall was a golden giant hammer relief that was at least eight meters high. Its financial resources were evident.
In East Sea City, although the Blacksmith Association was not as rich as the most famous Mecha Association, it was undoubtedly an indispensable existence.
After all, only senior blacksmiths could produce the high-grade materials needed to build mechas. Among them, the most famous and capable master blacksmith, Shen Hua, was the only person on the continent who could produce four-word battle armor materials.
And battle armor masters - a profession that had almost never appeared in East Sea City - could only be made by blacksmiths.
"Little brother, who are you looking for?"
The front hall was very empty. A young woman in a gray uniform looked at Tang Wulin not far away and asked.
"Sister, I'm here to see President Mu Chen."
"Also to get my blacksmith profession evaluated."
Tang Wulin walked over slowly and said.
Unlike the original work, Mang Tian had already made an appointment with Mu Chen for him before he came to East Sea City. He would meet him that day.
"To see President Mu Chen?"
Hearing such words, the young woman was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
She had indeed heard her superior say that a young man would come to see President Mu Chen today... but could he be so young?
You call this young?
"Let me ask for you..."
"President Mu Chen, a nine-year-old child... ah, really let him come over?"
She hesitated for a moment and picked up the phone to call Mu Chen, asking about the situation. After receiving an affirmative answer, she couldn't help but feel a little incredulous.
"Little brother, I'll take you to the third floor. President Mu Chen will be waiting for you there."
As she spoke, she slowly held the other party's hand and led him towards the elevator.
"Okay."
Tang Wulin followed silently and replied.
At this moment, on the third floor of the Blacksmith Association, a 40-year-old middle-aged man had just stepped out of the elevator.
He was handsome and dignified, wearing a silver-gray suit that outlined his strong figure. On his left chest was a badge.
Anyone who saw him would definitely be attracted to this badge at first glance. The background color of the badge was gold, with a slightly raised hammer pattern. Each star on it was black, and there were eight stars in total.
The eight stars represented a profession level of eight, and the gold-bottomed hammer shape represented blacksmithing... This was an eight-star blacksmith.
Eight-star Saint Blacksmith! In the entire Blacksmith Association, there was only one other blacksmith of this level.
"Mu Xi."
"We're waiting for a child to come over."
This person was Mu Chen, the president of the Blacksmith Association. Beside him was a girl.
She looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a tall and slender figure. She was very beautiful. Her golden hair was tied into a ponytail, and her tight-fitting clothes made her look very neat.
She was his daughter, Mu Xi, and also a blacksmith genius.
"Dad."
"Are you waiting for a child to come over?"
She had a puzzled look on her face and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes."
"This child is amazing. I heard from an old friend of mine that his talent is extraordinary."
Mu Chen nodded and replied.
He didn't know the details, but the child recommended by his old friend, whom he hadn't contacted for many years, must be extraordinary.
"Extraordinary talent?"
"Can he be about the same as me..."
Mu Xi pouted and thought silently.
She wanted to see how capable this child with good talent was!
