Chapter 3 Skills? One certificate forever?
"Remember my words, don't talk too much when you reach the inner wall. Those who live there are survivors who can hunt strange beasts. Do you understand?"
The old man Chen Houli warned him again and again.
Since the advent of the apocalypse, the order has collapsed. The capable survivors can get everything they want, while the lives of ordinary survivors are as humble as ants in their eyes.
"Don't worry, old man, I have always been introverted and unwilling to talk." Lin Fan said sincerely.
Chen Houli:......
If the two of them hadn't exchanged at least a hundred words along the way, the old man would have believed Lin Fan's lies.
There are also no doors on the inner walls, which are lifted to the top by machines.
Arrive at the city wall.
The environment inside the inner wall is much better than the outer wall. Although there are no high-rise buildings, there are many three- and four-story residential buildings. Although they are simple, it would be extremely happy to live here in the end of the world. matter.
I don't know how much better it is than the environment on the outer wall.
Chen Houli led Lin Fan towards the stairs, "The outside is the same as the inside. However, there has been no such thing as fairness since ancient times. The so-called fairness in publicity is just a linguistic promise of fairness given to the people when they need it."
Lin Fan said: "The children living in the inner wall are much happier than those outside."
Chen Houli said: "Happiness is based on ability. I have seen many survivors who were driven from the inner wall to the outer wall. Some of the children you saw who I taught knowledge used to live in the inner wall."
"Is it because you died at the mouth of a strange beast?" Lin Fan asked.
"Um."
This is a very realistic situation.
The adult hunts the alien beasts to give the surviving family members a better life. However, if he dies under the blood of the alien beasts, then the family members he leaves behind will have no one to take care of them and will have to move from the inner wall to the outer wall. Life.
Such life changes are painful.
"Are there people living in the air-raid shelter closed by the metal door?" Lin Fan asked.
Chen Houli said: "Yes, that is where the real manager of the barrier lives. At the same time, if an awakened person appears, they can also live there."
Awakened people are also extraordinary people. After mastering their abilities, they suddenly become top figures.
"Mr. Chen, have you ever gone in?"
"There's nothing I can go in there. It's pretty good to be on the inner wall."
Lin Fan carefully analyzed that the air-raid shelter is a symbol of the identity of the strong people in this barrier, and it is also a place to hide and live. If this barrier is attacked by alien beasts and is breached, the worst thing will naturally be the ones in the outer and inner walls. The survivors, and the group of strong men staying in the air-raid shelter, can use this line of defense to be temporarily safe.
The class is still very obvious.
Chatting and chatting, we arrived at our destination.
"Mr. Chen."
A middle-aged man greeted Chen Houli with a smile.
This middle-aged man has dark skin and a scar on his face, which looks like a centipede. If it were in peacetime and with the medical standards at that time, even if there were scars, it would not be like this now. This shows that this The injury was caused after the alien beast broke out.
"Lao Shen, you said there is a shortage of people here, but today I will bring you a young and strong man. What do you think?" Chen Houli asked with a smile.
Here, there is no such thing as respecting the old and loving the young. People respectfully call him "Chen Lao" because he is valuable and can be used in the future. But you can't really think that you are old and just rely on your old age.
"Haha, what Mr. Chen introduced is of course no problem, but you can help me take a look at the car sometime. I want to modify my car a little bit."
Lao Shen didn't seem to care, but actually he took a good look at Lin Fan. He was really good. He was in good spirits, much better than other working survivors.
Mr. Chen said: "No problem. If it's convenient, you can take me to have a look after Xiaofan is settled."
"Okay, let's just say that." Lao Shen was overjoyed.
On the way here, Mr. Chen had already told him that this old Shen was called Shen Hai, the person in charge of the weapons factory, and that all the weapons owned by the survivors of the entire barrier came from here.
If you want to own weapons, you need to exchange them with currency.
Although firearms are very lethal, it is very stupid to use firearms to hunt alien beasts outside, because the sound of gunfire will attract the attention of alien beasts. When surrounded by a large number of alien beasts, the consequences will be self-evident.
Therefore, cold weapons are the first choice.
"Young man, my name is Shen Hai. You can just call me Lao Shen from now on. If you want to survive here, you have to work hard and seriously. If you recruit people outside the wall for this job, you will be able to grab people's heads."
Shen Hai patted Lin Fan on the shoulder and pointed out the importance of this job. At the same time, he also told Mr. Chen, I will give you face, so you have to be serious when modifying my car.
"I know, thank you for giving me the opportunity." Lin Fan lowered his attitude.
Shen Hai nodded with satisfaction, but he was also sensible.
Today, Lin Fan is in the barrier with no one around him. He can only live well by staying steady and surviving.
Plug-ins are plug-ins.
But this plug-in needs to be developed. It would be great if it could be invincible from the beginning. It could directly transform into a bulldozer and push the alien beasts wherever it goes. It would definitely push the alien beasts cleanly.
It's a pity that things went against his wishes. He had to establish his feet first before he could find a way to improve his strength with the help of plug-ins.
As for joining a team and going out to hunt exotic beasts, it is not the first choice. It is too dangerous and the possibility of being sold is extremely high.
Soon, under the leadership of Lao Shen, Lin Fan and Mr. Chen arrived at the weapons processing factory. The processing factory in front of them was a simple brick house. When they walked inside, the temperature suddenly increased. There were many shirtless survivors working. live.
Ding dong! Ding dong!
A clear voice came.
The red-hot iron sparks emitted under the blow of the sledgehammer.
"Lao Wang, come out for a moment." Lao Shen shouted.
A man in his forties or fifties with a weathered face came out. When he saw Lao Shen, he acted very humble.
"His name is Lin Fan, and he will work here from now on. You take him and teach him how to blacksmith, do you understand?" Lao Shen said expressionlessly. He acted very seriously in front of this group of working survivors.
"Understood." Lao Wang nodded, not daring to neglect anything. This job was hard-won.
Mr. Chen patted Lin Fan on the shoulder and nodded without saying anything. His meaning was very clear, do your best.
He could only help so far, and the idea of introducing a job to Lin Fan was because he saw the light of hope for the future in Lin Fan's eyes.
Mr. Chen and Lao Shen left.
"Follow me." The old man walked inside.
When I came to the working position, there was an anvil in front of me and a stove on the left. The coals were burning red in the stove. The scorching heat wave hit my face and I could feel the water in my body evaporating.
"Have you ever had contact with him before?" Lao Wang asked.
"No."
"Look at me first. You don't have to do complicated things. You just need to complete the previous work. I can cooperate with you."
Lao Wang didn't say any dirty words or ridicule to Lin Fan. We are all hard-working survivors and belong to the lowest level in the barrier. It's interesting to fight each other, but it's boring.
Of course, Lao Wang said this with caution. He was proficient in forging. If he taught the other party, at his age, if Shen Hai wanted to save resources and drove him away, he really wouldn't know how to survive in the barrier. .
After all, at the age of forty or fifty, his strength is definitely not comparable to that of young people.
"Okay." Lin Fan nodded without saying much.
Lao Wang rummaged through the coal with a tool, picked out a piece of red-hot iron and placed it on the anvil. He hit it with a hammer in his right hand. The sound of hammering came, orderly and rhythmic. .
"This is to forge a long knife and knock out the blank of the long knife."
Lin Fan had never been exposed to this aspect of work, so he looked at it very carefully.
If you find these technologies boring in peaceful times, you can give up the burden and stop learning. But in the apocalypse, it is necessary to learn some technologies.
In the past, this process was compressed by machines, but without machines, it could only rely on manpower.
Lao Wang explained in detail, forging, sprinkling borax, calcining...
After a long time.
"Have you learned it?"
"I'm done with my studies. Let me give it a try." Lin Fan was very helpless. This was something that could only be learned by reading it once.
Lao Wang nodded and continued to forge. He couldn't let Shen Hai see him being lazy. He also had to rely on this to earn meager living supplies to support his daughter.
Lin Fan put on his gloves and used a tool to pick out the iron material in the stove. He followed Lao Wang's process, placed the iron material on the anvil, held the hammer and started pounding.
When
Sudden.
His expression was startled.
Quickly check the panel.
[Level]: Level 0 (1/10)
[Physique]: 2.01
[Agility]: 2.0
【Spirit】：1.9
[Skill]: Blacksmithing (Elementary 0/100)
‘After I hit it for the first time, a new plate appeared, and the skill of ‘forging’ appeared. ’
Lin Fan was shocked by such a change and became a little confused.
But these are not important. Since skills appear, they must be brushed directly. He doesn't know what the changes will be like, but he has to give it a try anyway.
Lao Wang saw Lin Fan holding the hammer motionless after hitting it once, and said softly: "Do you want me to demonstrate again?"
He suspected that Lin Fan was confused and had forgotten the process just now.
"it's okay no problem."
Lin Fan came to his senses and began to enter blacksmithing mode without even thinking about it.
eighty!
eighty!
The sound of clanking echoed, and all the survivors were immersed in their work.
Lin Fan's face was expressionless, his arms were bent and straightened, and the hammer in his hand hit the red iron material. Sparks flew with each blow.
Although this kind of work was very tiring, when he saw his proficiency, he completely exploded.
As long as there is still consciousness, this skill will be consumed to the end.
Proficiency does not increase by hammering it.
Gradually, after a while.
He found that his proficiency increased.
(Junior level 1/100).
As it increased a little, he had a strange feeling, as if he found that something was a little bit wrong with his posture, and he changed it.
This made him think of a possibility.
The improvement of this skill's proficiency is definitely a permanent certificate. At the same time, you can correct wrong actions on your own. As the proficiency becomes higher, the scope of error correction becomes greater.
If that were the case, it would be really awesome.
Thinking of this, I hit the iron even harder.
Lao Wang on the side blinked and sighed in his heart. Sure enough, this job is extremely important to any survivor, but in his opinion, Lin Fan's arm could not bear such high-frequency blows. .
"If you hit like this, your arms will be overwhelmed. Don't worry, slow down." Lao Wang reminded.
"Yeah, I understand, thank you."
He said he knew, but the speed of swinging the hammer did not slow down.
Lao Wang was helpless and didn't say much. Once he suffered a loss and felt the pain in his arm, he would understand and correct it.
I don’t know how long.
When the proficiency level reaches ten points.
Changes occurred, and a warm current appeared in the body.
View panel.
【Physique】：2.01↑2.11
[Agility]: 2.0
【Spirit】：1.9
[Skill]: Blacksmithing (Elementary 10/100)
Physical fitness increased by 0.1.
Can blacksmithing improve physical fitness?
His original idea was to master a skill in the shortest possible time with proficiency, which would definitely make him money, but now with the improvement of proficiency, his physical fitness has also begun to improve.
mused.
Could it be that swinging the hammer exercised his arms and increased his strength, so in a chain reaction, his physical attributes were improved?
Think about it. It's possible.
He didn't want to think about it anymore. In the current situation, if he didn't hammer the iron material in front of him bald, he would write his name upside down.
Work, work.
Full of motivation.
If it weren't for the sake of image, he would have really wanted to burst out of his clothes, shout "Oli", use a few blind cloak hammering skills, and deal damage to the iron material.
During this time, Lao Shen quietly observed outside.
Seeing Lin Fan working hard, he nodded with satisfaction. If he paddled here, even Mr. Chen's face would be of no use.
If you don't have the strength, I'll call you Mr. Chen to give you face, but if you don't give me face, you'll be called an old bastard.
The sky is getting dark.
At this time, Lin Fan was sweating like rain, but his eyes were firm, like a machine, and he kept hammering the iron materials. His movements became more standardized and more proficient. Although he could not compare with a real master master, such progress, Already, Lao Wang on the side opened his mouth and was stunned.
Is this really someone who just learned blacksmithing?
I'm sure I'm not pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.
"Lin Fan, it's time to get off work. All survivors living on the outer wall must leave the inner wall." Lao Wang reminded.
Hearing Lao Wang's reminder, he stopped what he was doing, and as he stopped, a pain surged out of his arm.
But it’s rewarding.
Blacksmithing (Basic 51/100).
【Physique】2.51.
Proficiency increased to 51.
Physical fitness also reached 2.51.
This is what a full day looks like.
From morning to noon, he didn't waste any time. His lunch was sticky and hard to swallow, but it filled his stomach. He didn't care what he ate, he just stuffed it into his mouth.
Here, they have no choice.
Lao Shen at the door was settling money.
One currency per person.
Blacksmithing is a technical and manual job, so you can get a currency. However, other survivors working on the outer wall have no currency and can only get some rough and simple food to satisfy their hunger.
"Are you used to it?" Lao Shen handed a coin to Lin Fan and asked with a smile on his face.
"Habit."
In Lin Fan's eyes, Lao Shen's smile was a bit hypocritical, but when he answered, he appeared very satisfied and grateful, which made Lao Shen nod with satisfaction.
He finally discovered that in the barrier, those in power would not let ordinary survivors starve to death, but exploit their labor in a way that would make the capitalists cry, and create products for the barrier that were several times higher than what they paid for themselves. , dozens of times the harvest.
"That's good."
"Thank you for taking care of me. I'll leave now."
Lin Fan pretended to be grateful.
Then he and Lao Wang left together.
Lao Wang's name is Wang Quan. He is a very ordinary person. He did not collapse in the apocalypse and has a strong psychological quality. During the chat, he learned that he also has a daughter.
A few years after the apocalypse broke out, he met a woman in the barrier and eventually got together and had a relationship. However, his wife finally passed away due to an illness, leaving behind their father and daughter.
"You just came here, do you have a place to stay?" Wang Quan asked.
"No."
"I have a remaining raincloth at home. You can use it. At least it can keep out the wind and rain."
"Thanks."
"It's okay, it's just a raincloth."
The two walked side by side and talked, and the dusk shone on the two of them. They looked beautiful and artistic, but in fact, for the ordinary survivors here, there was a sense of sadness and helplessness everywhere.
Follow the other survivors, stand on the hanging board, and be slowly sent to the outer wall.
"Dad..." A clear and childish voice came.
"My daughter, nicknamed Hope..." The moment Wang Quan saw his daughter, he pointed it out to Lin Fan, then squatted down, welcomed her daughter, and then picked her up.
Lin Fan looked at it with a smile.
The innocent child looks thin because he doesn't have enough to eat, but the smile on his face may be the purest scene in the apocalypse.
"Daughter, this is dad's colleague, his name is Uncle Lin."
"Hello, Uncle Lin." Little Hope called.
Lin Fan touched her head and said, "I hope you are well, little one. If you want to eat anything, you can tell me and my uncle will buy it for you."
Little Hope was about to say something, but as if something had occurred to her, she put her arms around Wang Quan's neck and said, "Dad told me not to ask for things from others."
Wang Quan said: "No need to buy it. You just came here. Just keep it and live by yourself. I have some money on me."
"It's okay. Didn't you give me the raincloth? The child called me uncle again. It's our first time meeting. It's okay to buy something." Lin Fan naturally knew that in the end of the world, money represents food and various materials, but he is not selfish. He is a profitable person, otherwise he would not be able to move bricks for a month just to go to the KTV to take care of the girl's business.
I, Lin Fan, am a person with great love.
Lin Fan flicked his fingers, and the currency in his hand was thrown into the air and spun around. He grabbed it, spread it out, and handed it to Little Hope.
"Shall we go buy instant noodles?"
When Little Hope heard about instant noodles, her round eyes lit up. She had eaten it only once, on her birthday, and it tasted delicious.
"good……"
After all, children can never resist delicious food.
"Then let's set off." Lin Fan waved his hand.
"Let's go."
Little Hope waved her little hands excitedly.
