Chapter 310 Is this how the Lan Dun family educates their children?
Zuo Shan and A Chen returned to the Lan Dun family's old house and saw Grandpa Caesar standing at the gate, smiling at them from afar.
Upon seeing Ah Chen, he picked him up and kissed him twice: "I missed you so much, Great-Grandpa! Are you doing well at the academy? Have you been bullying any other students?"
"Why don't you ask me if I've been bullied by other classmates?" Achen retorted.
"Haha! My great-grandson Caesar has mastered such excellent combat skills and his superpower level has reached the fourth rank. Those old geezers' stupid brats will definitely be your defeated opponents!"
"I'll have Evan tell you how we dealt with those classmates back then. We beat them until it hurt, but without leaving any serious injuries."
Caesar laughed and winked at him, looking quite like a playful old man.
Left Fan was speechless. Is this how the Lan Dun family educates their children?
However, children in the wasteland are different from children in peacetime; combat strength is the most important factor.
Moreover, since I was hospitalized for several days on my first day of class because of a new classmate, it doesn't seem like there's any harm in learning some little-known tricks.
As long as she keeps things on track and doesn't let her son grow up to be a crooked tree, that's fine.
Having finally taken a vacation and returned to the old house, Zuo Shan found that Lele was going to take the weapon refiner exam that afternoon, so he entrusted his son to the old man's care.
Thinking back to when we were out collecting samples in District 48, I didn't feel comfortable leaving my child in the care of others. Now that someone can finally share the burden, it feels pretty good.
To thank the two elderly men for taking care of her son, Zuo Shan went straight to the kitchen without taking a break and made a lot of delicious food for them, so that they could enjoy it when she wasn't home.
Caesar was overjoyed, muttering to himself, "Humph! Now that old geezer Huayang will definitely be mooching off me."
Evan replied with a smile, "The head of the family can do whatever he wants. If he's happy, let him take advantage of the situation; if he's not happy, let Laurie serve him. Otherwise, he'll become too picky. If the young mistress gets busy and doesn't have time to cook, the head of the Hua family won't be used to it."
"Hmm, you're right. I'll let him hitch a ride with me at most once a month from now on." Caesar nodded.
Hearing that Lele was going to take the weapon refiner exam that afternoon, Caesar waved his hand and told Evan to take her to the Lan Dun family's warehouse to select materials.
"Mr. Evan, do we have to bring our own materials to participate in the weapon refiner assessment?" Lele asked, puzzled.
"The weapon refiner assessment consists of three main parts: the first is a written test, which assesses your ability to distinguish weapon refining materials and some details in weapon refining."
Secondly, the Refining Association will provide some materials, and you can choose several of them to refine magic weapons of at least the fourth rank.
Third, use your own materials to create your most prized piece.
Finally, based on the combined scores of these three assessments, those who pass will be awarded a Refiner Certificate by the Association. "Evan explained."
Lele was really unaware of these details. She didn't expect that the weapon refiner assessment held in the central district had one or three more items than those in other districts. Fortunately, the old man loved her so much that he had Evan tell her in advance, otherwise she would have been completely lost when she arrived at the examination hall.
She was quite confident about the first item. At the end of the booklet "Refining Tips" that Gu Yongzhong gave her, there was a detailed list of hundreds of rare refining materials, which she had long since memorized.
As for common refining materials, needless to say, she had been working with Master Liu in his workshop for the past few years, refining many magical artifacts and becoming extremely familiar with them.
After Evan led her into the warehouse, he smiled kindly and said, "Miss Lele, please don't be shy, just pick whichever one you like."
Over the years, no decent weapon refiner has emerged from the family, so the materials piled up in the storeroom have just been gathering dust.
"Then why don't you auction it off? Wouldn't that generate revenue for the family?" Lele asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, that won't do. The materials that our big families can store in their warehouses are all rare and top-quality. If we were to put them up for auction, other families would think that we have a problem with our cash flow."
Once the news gets out, it's not just a matter of being ridiculed by other families; the families we're cooperating with might also start to doubt our strength.
"So we'd rather let it gather dust in the warehouse than put it up for auction," Evan explained.
Lele followed him into the warehouse, took a quick look around, and her eyes widened in amazement.
Many top-tier rare materials that only exist in legends are readily available here, and just as Evan said, many of the materials are covered with a thick layer of dust, which makes her heart ache.
She was initially hesitant to choose, but now she couldn't resist picking out a few more items, though she didn't intend to take advantage of the situation for nothing.
Lele took photos of each material she selected and then compiled the photos of the dozen or so materials she chose into a compressed document and sent it to Evan's watch.
“Mr. Evan, I will do my best to refine these materials into magical artifacts and return them to you for the use of the family members who need them,” Lele said solemnly.
Evan gave her a thumbs up in his heart. He knew a lot about this little girl. Like the young mistress, she was an orphan from District 50.
After being adopted by the young mistress and recognized as her younger sister, she did not rely on her older sister. Over the past few years, she has worked hard and followed Master Liu to refine weapons, and then raised Achen with her older sister.
Her character is absolutely impeccable. Most importantly, she is extremely loyal to the young mistress and young master, which is why Caesar was willing to vouch for her entry into the central district.
If Ah Chen is to inherit the Lan Dun family in the future, he must have trusted confidants by his side.
After lunch break, Evan accompanied Caesar and took Achen to the Jing family, while Zuo Shan took Xiaobao and Maoli and accompanied Lele to the Weapon Refiner Association.
Because they registered half a month in advance, they could enter directly with their admission ticket. Zuo Shan, as a family member of the examinee, needed to pay for a ticket to enter the audience area.
The entire assessment process will be broadcast live, with the assessment results of candidates at 36 test centers projected onto a circular screen using holographic projection. Viewers can freely choose to watch the candidates they are interested in.
Such an assessment can be considered open and transparent, and the blacksmith certificate obtained by passing such an assessment naturally has full credibility.
Each participant can bring one assistant. Lele could actually bring Mao Li, a cheat code, to help her cheat and pass the written test smoothly.
However, she only chose Xiao Bao as her assistant because she had gotten used to Xiao Bao being her weapon-refining assistant over the years. Strictly speaking, every weapon she refined was completed jointly by her and Xiao Bao.
The administrator in charge of guiding them was somewhat surprised to see that this young girl had only brought one mutated beast.
"Miss Pandora, is your assistant unable to arrive on time for some reason? Would you like us to temporarily assign you a weapon-refining assistant?"
"Thank you! But no, ever since I started refining weapons, my little treasure has always been my refining assistant." Pan Duole smiled calmly, showing no sign of nervousness.
Before entering the examination room, her older sister had told her, "Apart from your sister and Mao Li, you can think of the audience members as leeks in a plantation."
As for the assessment, just treat it like you're forging weapons in Master Liu's workshop. Success or failure doesn't matter, just make sure you perform normally.
You're only 18 this year. You can always try again next time. Anyway, our family has plenty of food and money!"
Pan Duole knew about her family's situation. In recent years, she had made a lot of money refining weapons, and her sister's plantation had also yielded enough grain to earn more money than she had ever dared to dream of when she was a child.
So what she needs to do now is to go all out, perform at her best, and make her sister proud.
