The Black Book

"This is the sign-in point. [Yanhuang Arsenal] is also in the same building. Go in by yourself. I won't accompany you."

An Rong led Zhu Haomiao to a hidden building in the public concession, patted his shoulder and said goodbye at the door.

Looking at his back as he left in a chic manner, Zhu Haomiao felt a kind of pride and unrestrainedness that was inconsistent with his age, belonging to the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes.

Just like his companions, they drank and talked happily when they got together, and went their separate ways without any nostalgia after the end.

But Zhu Haomiao had a feeling that if one of them got into trouble, the others would definitely risk their lives to help...

Watching An Rong disappear at the end of his sight with envy, Zhu Haomiao turned and walked into the door of the building. When he crossed the threshold, he felt an invisible tough film blocking him, but it quietly dissipated the moment the dragon emblem touched it.

Stepping into the building, Zhu Haomiao saw a young man holding a tablet computer that was completely out of date.

The two met eyes, and then their sights crossed, and fell on the dragon emblem on each other's chest.

"Hey, are you here to sign in? Come on!"

Seeing the black iron color on Zhu Haomiao's chest, the young man was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and waved to the boy enthusiastically.

Glancing at the tablet in the other's hand, Zhu Haomiao blinked and walked to him.

"Hello, please sign in for me."

"Wait a minute, let me see, classmate Zhu, right?"

After taking a closer look at the dragon emblem on Zhu Haomiao's chest, the young man picked up the tablet and brought it close, making a crisp prompt sound.

"How do you know my last name is Zhu?"

An Rong knew, his companions knew, and now even this young man who met for the first time knew it!

Hearing this question without common sense, the young man pointed to the mysterious seal characters on the dragon emblem on his chest with a smile.

"It says Zhu."

"Is this the word Zhu?"

Zhu Haomiao curled his lips, lowered his head and carefully looked at his dragon emblem, and could not see any connection between it and the word Zhu.

So this thing is just like a badge, indicating everyone's surname?

Then I not only have to make up for [Supernatural Heraldry], but also seal characters?

Why not use simplified Chinese characters?

Seemingly seeing the boy's confusion, the young man smiled and explained.

"Seal characters are sacrificial inscriptions that communicated between heaven and earth in ancient times. They themselves carry certain symbolism and supernatural power. Using them to engrave dragon emblems can maximize power."

Is that so...

Zhu Haomiao nodded, and not long after, the young man retrieved the information, and suddenly couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Zhu Haomiao? From Yangchao? Then you are my junior!"

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao greeted politely.

"Hello, Senior Brother."

"Hello, Junior Brother, um...your name...the five elements are a little lacking in water..."

This is not the first time someone has teased his name, Zhu Haomiao sighed helplessly.

"It is a little lacking in water..."

Seeing that the boy was not in a good mood to chat, the young man quickly brought the topic back on track.

"Okay, your first stage of the competition has been completed. From now on, you can move freely. Just pay attention to the second stage of the competition schedule."

Feeling that he had nothing to do, Zhu Haomiao pondered for a moment and looked at the young man with clear eyes.

"Brother, what's your last name?"

"No need to be surnamed Wang."

"Brother Wang, I heard that [Yanhuang Arsenal] allows advance consumption."

"Of course, [Yanhuang Arsenal] itself provides logistics for every Chinese supernatural person to help them gain a foothold in the fantasy domain as soon as possible."

"According to your authority, the interest-free [virtual point] quota is 10 points, and the interest-bearing quota is 100 points."

"Interested? How much is the interest?"

"Annualized 3%."

"Real years?"

Brother Wang rolled his eyes at him without disguising: "Virtual years."

Zhu Haomiao smiled awkwardly and dispelled all kinds of bold ideas in his mind.

"Go sit in the reception room next door, I'll call the people from [Yanhuang Arsenal] down."

Seeing that this was a rookie who entered the fantasy domain for the first time, Brother Wang settled Zhu Haomiao down, walked up to the second floor alone, pushed open the door of a room, and sat a few young men and women of about his age sparsely inside.

"A rookie who knows nothing has come. Who will go to entertain him?"

"Rookie? Now, apart from civil servants, only contestants participating in the Ascension Tournament come in. Where did the rookie come from?"

Several idle young men and women looked at each other and asked curiously.

Hearing this, Senior Brother Wang shrugged helplessly: "How should I know? A black iron player has come. He has no common sense at all. You should go and explain it to him in detail."

Hearing this, a low-key young man sitting in the corner raised his eyes and slowly stood up.

"Black iron? No common sense, are you sure?"

Seeing him speak, the originally noisy office suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at him at the same time.

For some reason, it attracted the attention of the person in charge. Senior Brother Wang hesitated for a moment and nodded solemnly.

"I'm sure."

"Then don't worry about it. I will go to receive him in person."

After speaking, the young man took the tablet computer from Senior Brother Wang and walked out of the office, leaving a group of people looking at each other.

"What's going on? Director Feng actually went to entertain people in person?"

"I don't know. I haven't heard of any big shots coming recently?"

"Could it be that some second-generation person is here to gild his reputation?"

"With Director Feng's arrogance, what second-generation person would he condescend to greet?"

………………

In the reception room downstairs, Zhu Haomiao didn't have to wait long before a tall figure pushed the door open and walked in.

"Hello, I'm Feng Zhaobai, the person in charge of [Yanhuang Arsenal] in this plane."

Looking at the noble and elegant purple-gold dragon emblem on the other's chest, Zhu Haomiao politely shook hands with him and said hello.

"Hello, I'm Zhu Haomiao."

"Student Zhu, I heard that you want to overdraw contribution points?"

"Yes, this is my first time entering the fantasy domain, and I want to strengthen myself as soon as possible."

"Then do you have any idea about your path? Martial arts or magic?"

"Martial arts."

"Then focus on the outside or the inside? Or both inside and outside?"

"Uh...both inside and outside..."

Hearing this, Feng Zhaobai, who was writing and drawing on the tablet, looked up at him.

"For most people who enter the fantasy domain for the first time, I would advise him to focus on one direction, but since it's Student Zhu, it should be no problem..."

Seemingly sensing that Feng Zhaobai had something to say, but before Zhu Haomiao could figure it out, he continued.

"Then I recommend you to choose [Hard Qigong] for external skills and [Big Toad Qi] for internal skills. These two skills are moderate and peaceful, and have strong universality. You can also seamlessly connect to the higher-level skills when you ascend to the heavenly level later."

"Hard Qigong? Big Toad Qi?"

Zhu Haomiao frowned. Why do they sound like common skills? Aren't there any cool and unique skills?

For example, [Nine Yang Magic Skill], [Three-point Return to Origin Qi], etc...
