It was already the seventh day since Zhang Tie had left Wild Wolf Castle after recovering from his injuries, and it was also the seventh day since he had started his career as a miner. During these seven days, he would carry a basket of ores to the delivery point below Wild Wolf Castle at noon every day. Unlike the previous times when he would carry 50-60 kg of ores, or at most 70 kg of ores at a time, Zhang Tie would carry more than 100 kg of ores each time. He would often exceed the quota for the day, causing the guys at the delivery point to be extremely shocked. They couldn't see through Zhang Tie's average figure, yet he had such a great strength that could amaze his peers.
During these seven days, Zhang Tie lived a peaceful life. Nobody knew that Zhang Tie's strength had increased by another level. Five days ago, Zhang Tie ate the third Leakless Fruit. As expected, that Leakless Fruit allowed Zhang Tie to break through three layers of the burning point on his coccyx. Now, Zhang Tie's coccyx had already lit up with blue light. With another Leakless Fruit, Zhang Tie would be able to completely light up the burning point on his coccyx. After lighting up the burning point on his coccyx, Zhang Tie's strength would increase by another level and he would officially become a LV 2 fighter. In less than a month, Zhang Tie had lit up a burning point and promoted from a LV 1 fighter to a LV 2 fighter. This speed was extremely shocking. At least in Blackhot City, Zhang Tie had never heard of anyone who could light up a burning point and advance as fast as him. Besides the burning point on his coccyx, the effect of the Trouble-Reappearance Fruit had also started to show. After fighting with the three wolves several times a day, Zhang Tie also felt that his fighting skills were improving by leaps and bounds. He was becoming more and more adept at using the fighting skills that he had learned at school. As a result, it became easier and easier for him to kill wolves.
With such a precious treasure on him, Zhang Tie became even more low-key. In the eyes of others, it seemed that he had even forgotten about the incident where he had been attacked by the wild wolves. Zhang Tie acted like he didn't care about anything at all.
As usual, when Zhang Tie put the basket on the scale at the delivery point, the guys from No. 2 National Middle School, who were already familiar with Zhang Tie, ran over to check the number on the scale.
"138 kg, damn, how did he break the record again? Could it be that mining can really increase a person's strength so quickly? "One of the guys cried out in dissatisfaction." I might as well give it a try. Every time Zhang Tie came to hand over the ores. You all look so relaxed. Just one trip and you've already gotten a day's worth of rations! "
"You? Forget it. Zhang Tie has already ignited his Shrine burning point. He's already a LV 1 warrior!" Someone beside him shook his head. After recording the data in his notebook, he signaled Zhang Tie to help him pour the ores from the mining basket into the pocket of the mining cart on the rail. In the past, this task could only be done by two people. But now, as Zhang Tie carried more and more ores, it became a bit difficult for the two guys to lift the 100-kg mining basket to a height of one meter before pouring it into the mining cart. Therefore, they needed Zhang Tie's help every time.
"Didn't Tanin ignite his Shrine burning point long ago and become a LV 1 warrior? Why do I feel that Tanin is not as strong as Zhang Tie …" The guy who had just spoken retorted. Glancing at Zhang Tie with admiration, he lifted the mining basket and muttered, "To be able to survive after falling into a Gold-eating Boa's cave over 200 meters deep, he's really a freak!"
Zhang Tie didn't know who Tanin was, but he guessed that he was an outstanding student at their school. Hearing their comments, Zhang Tie just gave a carefree smile and put up a smokescreen. "Actually, mining is really good training, especially when it comes to carrying ores out. Previously, I couldn't carry such heavy ores. You all know how much I could carry before, but recently, I've found that as long as I constantly challenge my limits while carrying ores, my physical strength will naturally increase greatly. If you don't believe me, you can try it!"
Zhang Tie's words were half true and half false. Although he sounded like a prank, Zhang Tie was extremely serious. If the two guys really believed him and wanted to experience the "promising profession" of mining, then it really had nothing to do with Zhang Tie. Of course, physical labor could increase one's physical strength, but how much would depend on one's luck and efforts.
Zhang Tie smirked inside and added, "If you can eat a Leakless Fruit every week, your physical strength will naturally increase at a fast speed."
In the past few days, Zhang Tie would come to mine ores in the morning and move the waste ores into the Castle of Black Iron. In the afternoon, he would return to the tree base to cultivate the "Iron-Blood Fist Skill". Led by Zhang Tie, the other members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood gradually adapted to this rhythm. In the morning, they would go to harvest prey or dig traps, and in the afternoon, they would return to the tree base to cultivate the "Iron-Blood Fist Skill". Everyone knew the importance of the former royal martial arts skills of the Norman Empire and some food, so they would choose the latter. By now, Barley and the other guys had already dug 5 deep pit traps and over 20 small traps made of twigs and stones. These guys were getting more and more proficient in setting traps, and the power of traps was gradually revealed. The fishy smell of fish maw deep pit traps was simply a great weapon to deal with those wild beasts who liked to eat fishy food. The Hit-Plane Brotherhood was gradually becoming famous. Among all the students who participated in this survival training, some of them had started to learn from Barley and the other guys and started to play with traps.
After handing over the ores and receiving today's dried rations, Zhang Tie prepared to return to the tree base. However, the moment he was about to leave, he saw a blue flag hanging on the top of the spire of the Wild Wolf Castle, which could be seen from several kilometers away. In the survival training, this blue flag was the signal flag for the transport caravan from outside to the Wild Wolf Castle.
Twenty days after the start of this survival training, the transport caravan from Blackhot City finally arrived at the Wild Wolf Castle. The arrival of the transport caravan made many students very happy, as it meant that many of them could immediately sell the items they had gained in the survival training and exchange them for items that they urgently needed.
The square of Wild Wolf Castle was really boisterous. Many people were surrounding the three transport caravans parked on the edge of the square. Zhang Tie also squeezed his way over to watch them. This was the first time that Zhang Tie had seen such transport caravans used in the wild. Compared to the public transportation vehicles used in Blackhot City, these transport caravans looked much weirder. Each vehicle looked like an ugly, wormlike insect with two low carriages. The front part of the vehicle looked like a round train that had been shrunk and inlaid onto a square building block. The tall chimney on the front part of the vehicle was extremely dazzling. The front part of the wheels under the front part was a caterpillar, while the rear part was solid tires. The rear part of the front part was a coal bunker. Each transport caravan was about 20 m long. Besides the onlookers, there were also people moving the items from the caravans off the caravans. They quickly surrounded the small square with those boxes and built a trading platform. They then opened some of the items in the boxes and displayed them generously to the public. Most of the items in those boxes were the standard rations of the military of Blackhot City, while the more advanced ones included dried milk, dried meat, and sausages. There were also some miscellaneous biological supplies.
Hearing the exclamations from the horny students beside the transport caravans, Zhang Tie squeezed his way over and was startled. F * ck! The moment the boxes from the transport caravans were opened, the shiny weapons in them caused the horny students to drool.
"Everybody, take out everything you've got, all kinds of animal skins, herbal medicines, crystal sands and those strange things that you don't know. As long as you have something good, you can exchange everything here …" A small leader of a transport caravan jumped onto some boxes as he shouted with a loudspeaker made of iron sheets, "Those who buy animal skins are over there; those who buy herbal medicines are in the middle; those who buy crystal sands and other strange things are in my place. Hurry up, what are you waiting for …"
Many people became chaotic. Women ran towards the inner castle, while men ran towards the Wild Wolf Valley. Thinking of his animal skins, Zhang Tie was also moved. After glancing over the items brought by the caravans, Zhang Tie prepared to go back and bring back the animal skins that the Hit-Plane Brotherhood had harvested. He wanted to exchange for something that they urgently needed, such as food. Of course, the more, the better …
When he left the square of Wild Wolf Castle, Zhang Tie couldn't help but look back. The rows of sabers, swords, and spears had already been hung in the most eye-catching places. In previous years, the transport caravans rarely brought weapons here. Why did it change this time? Zhang Tie became slightly confused.
