"Wow, so this is the Spirit Transmission Tower?"
Tang Wulin looked at the building before him, his heart filled with amazement.
He had been able to see this towering Spirit Transmission Tower from very far away. It had over a hundred floors, exceeding four hundred meters in height. Even among the forest of tall buildings in Eastsea City, it was still a striking landmark.
Whether viewed from afar or looked up at from nearby, this Spirit Transmission Tower radiated an awe-inspiring presence, making it a unique feature of the Eastsea City skyline.
Yesterday, he had gone to the Blacksmithing Association. Although it was also quite large, the Blacksmithing Association was nowhere near as magnificent as this building. The difference between the two was vast. (Mu Chen: "...")
At this moment, Tang Wulin gained an understanding of what a so-called major power was like. Withdrawing his thoughts, he stepped into the Spirit Transmission Tower and looked around curiously.
"Little brother, can I help you?" The sweet-looking girl behind the first-floor counter saw Tang Wulin enter and asked with a smile.
"Well... my name is Tang Wulin, and I'm here to collect my subsidy." Tang Wulin was somewhat shy as he took out his storage bracelet and placed it on the counter. "May I ask, how much can I get each month?"
Although the bracelet had prevented Tang Wulin from getting into a conflict with Xie Xie, every gain came with a loss. Since Xie Xie didn't fight with him, no one helped him pay for the damaged public property. And Tang Wulin didn't want to owe money for too long, so he had come to collect his subsidy.
And also to see how big the Spirit Transmission Tower was.
The girl glanced at the bracelet but didn't reach out to touch it. After all, Tang Wulin had looked very nervous when he took it out, as if he was afraid someone might take it away.
It seemed he really treasured it.
Thinking this, she smiled and said, "Please place the bracelet in the groove on the counter first."
Tang Wulin shifted his gaze and indeed saw a groove on the counter. He did as she said.
The moment the bracelet fit perfectly into the groove, a soul tool screen instantly appeared before the girl.
On it was Tang Wulin's basic information, recorded by the Spirit Transmission Tower in Aolai City just a week ago.
The girl looked at the various pieces of information on the screen and gradually understood the situation.
Due to his viewing angle and height, Tang Wulin couldn't see the screen. He only marveled at how impressive it was that a soul tool screen could suddenly pop up like that.
"Little brother Tang Wulin, do you have any special skills? Like a secondary profession?" The girl finished looking at Tang Wulin's information and asked with a smile. "If you have a secondary profession bonus, you can get even more subsidies, you know."
"Secondary profession?"
Tang Wulin was startled, then his eyes immediately lit up. "Does blacksmithing count?"
"Of course it counts," the girl nodded.
"I just became a Grade Two blacksmith yesterday!" Tang Wulin said happily.
"!!!"
The girl's pupils widened.
Wow, a golden legend!
Nine years old, Grade Two blacksmith he had already surpassed the Blacksmithing Association's previous record!
The girl's eyes sparkled. After Tang Wulin showed his Grade Two blacksmith badge, she quickly transferred 30,000 Federation coins to him, leaving Tang Wulin feeling dizzy.
One month's subsidy almost half the price of a ten-year Spirit Soul! And he didn't need to do anything extra just show up at the Spirit Transmission Tower to check in. It was even easier than making money through blacksmithing...
Thinking this, Tang Wulin said somewhat nervously, "Isn't this too much?"
"Not at all, little brother Wulin. If you join the Spirit Transmission Tower, the subsidies would be even greater."
The girl chuckled and introduced many more benefits of joining the Spirit Transmission Tower to Tang Wulin, then sent him still feeling dizzy out of the Spirit Transmission Tower.
Afterward, she returned to the counter, immediately entered work mode, looked at the soul tool screen that was still there, and typed a line of text into it.
Tang Wulin, advanced to Grade Two blacksmith at only nine years old. Currently has a friendly attitude toward the Spirit Transmission Tower and greatly treasures the Spirit Transmission Tower soul bracelet tool. Recommendation: continue investing, recruit him into the forging department for cultivation...
After typing this, the girl thought for a moment, confirmed that there were no overly subjective opinions, and then officially recorded the information.
After so many years, they had long since developed their own set of methods for recruiting civilian geniuses into the Spirit Transmission Tower.
The Spirit Transmission Tower had many tricks up its sleeve!
Carefree Douluo, having nothing better to do, was browsing information on the Spirit Transmission Tower's internal network. Seeing the newly uploaded information about Tang Wulin, he raised an eyebrow.
"A Blue Silver Grass martial soul, innate spirit power Level Three, but a Grade Two blacksmith?"
Any member who understood the Spirit Transmission Tower's development history would not look down on someone solely based on their martial soul and innate spirit power. He certainly wouldn't either.
After all, among the founding members of the Spirit Transmission Tower, there was a powerful individual who had innate spirit power of only Level Three but eventually became a Super Douluo.
And over the past ten thousand years, among those who had defied fate and become pillars of the Spirit Transmission Tower, there were also some similar examples.
If he discriminated against someone because of their martial soul, wouldn't that be disrespectful to those predecessors?
Furthermore, Hua Yichen had some understanding of Thousand-Forged forging. For a nine-year-old child to achieve Thousand-Forged, his strength was definitely extraordinary. This child was not ordinary to begin with...
"Never mind. Why am I thinking so much about this now? If he is willing to join the Spirit Transmission Tower even if his cultivation truly holds back his forging talent we can still apply for a Blue Silver Grass Spirit Soul for him to enhance his talent."
Thinking of some research projects at headquarters, Hua Yichen signed his name on Tang Wulin's information, instructing the lower levels to pay close attention to him.
Ten thousand years ago, the First Generation Tower Master had obtained a 190,000-year Blue Silver Emperor from the Sun Moon Empire. Unable to survive the Heavenly Tribulation, it had become a Spirit Soul. It was now one of the Spirit Transmission Tower's foundational assets.
With the advent of artificial Spirit Soul technology, some researchers had fantastically turned their attention to Blue Silver Grass Spirit Souls. With the Blue Silver Emperor's help, they had already achieved results.
A Blue Silver Grass martial soul user in Eastsea Academy's high school division had signed an agreement and been sent by Hua Yichen to headquarters to receive the research results.
That student had been quite lucky his martial soul came with a trace of Blue Silver King bloodline.
And those Spirit Souls all carried a trace of Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. According to the researchers, when the Spirit Soul evolved to ten thousand years, that student's martial soul would through the feedback of the Spirit Soul contract become a true Blue Silver King martial soul!
Tang Wulin might not be as lucky, but enhancing his martial soul's origin a bit was still possible.
Of course, the premise was that he was willing to join the Spirit Transmission Tower.
"It seems Wulin is doing well."
Watching Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena leave, Tang Ziran sighed emotionally. "The difference between a ten-year and a hundred-year Spirit Soul is truly worlds apart."
They had just joined the Mecha Designer Association. When they had seen Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena wearing Eastsea Academy uniforms earlier, they had chatted with them and unexpectedly heard news about Wulin.
Lang Yue smiled. "Yes. According to Teacher Mang Tian, Wulin's Blue Silver Grass is very tough probably because of that hundred-year Spirit Soul. (Actually because of the Golden Dragon King bloodline.) And now he's gotten into Class Two because of it. How wonderful."
"As long as he works hard, things will get even better in the future." Tang Ziran smiled, then turned and walked toward his workbench. "I've already found a place. Let's earn money first to buy back our home in Eastsea, then tell Wulin."
Lang Yue nodded gently. "Mm!"
On the other side, Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze, completely baffled. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Huo Yuhao, but she didn't voice the question in her heart.
She felt like she had gotten used to obtain information about deities from this man. That kind of habit was not good.
"They really are ordinary people." But to Gu Yuena's surprise, Huo Yuhao had already seen through her confusion. "Don't overthink it."
"..."
Gu Yuena bit her lip.
Am I really that easy to read?
Huo Yuhao explained briefly, then turned his gaze to the soul tool screen in his hand a thing resembling a thin crystal sheet, somewhat similar to a mobile phone, but different.
Looking at Tang Wulin's information, which was specially marked on the internal network, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes.
