Chapter 241 Special Approval (Two Chapters in One)

"Any more questions?" Instructor Coleman looked at the time and planned to end the class.

"Instructor, if you want to apply for the loan you just mentioned, which department should you contact?" A young man raised his hand and asked.

It can be regarded as asking the opinions of many people.

After all, even those who previously served in imperial functional departments may not be able to accumulate many merit points.

Money is never enough to spend!

"The location is in the Assistance Promotion Department on the first floor of the Administration Building. As for the specific quota, there are certain differences according to each person's potential and situation. You can go to the site to inquire."

"Okay, thank you instructor."

Help improve the ministry?

The name is quite nice.

I just don’t know if the interest rate is high or not, Ren thought to himself.

However, after Kuhlman's first general course, Renn did not immediately come to the so-called assistance and improvement department, that is, the loan department, but instead came to the exchange hall of the Sword Bearer branch again.

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?" A pretty female staff member saw Ren walking forward, stood up and bowed.

"Help me check the price of the powerful potion." This time, Ren had experience and took the initiative to hand the girl his bronze emblem before she could say anything.

"Okay, sir. Please wait a moment." The female staff member took it with both hands respectfully.

"Um!"

"I found it, sir. The exchange price is 150 merit points." The girl quickly rummaged through a thick book and said crisply.

"Well, what about the powerful physical potion and the powerful agility potion?"

"Please wait a moment, we will check for you immediately."

"Found it, sir, please look at the Wisdom Slate." This time, Ren's query contained more information, and the girl directly displayed the relevant information on the black slate in front of Ren.

I saw several lines of small white characters refreshed on the black slate:

"Powerful physical potion: A training auxiliary potion. Within half a month after drinking it, the user's physical condition will be improved to a certain extent. The degree of increase varies from person to person, usually about 10%. Redemption price: 180 merit points/bottle.

(Note: The advanced auxiliary pharmaceuticals produced by the Munster Provincial Branch of the Royal Apothecary Society must be of high quality.) "

"Powerful agility potion: A training auxiliary potion that will increase the user's agility to a certain extent within half a month after drinking it. The degree of increase varies from person to person, usually about 10%. Exchange price: 160 merit points/bottle.

(Note: The advanced auxiliary pharmaceuticals produced by the Munster Provincial Branch of the Royal Apothecary Society must be of high quality.) "

Does it have to be a high-quality product?

But this price is really not cheap.

"Sir, which one do you need to redeem?" the girl asked.

"No rush, by the way, I would like to ask, how much does it cost to use the torrent room?" Renn waved his hand and continued to ask.

The main reason he came here this time was to check the price, not that he was in a hurry to redeem it. After all, good steel must be used on the blade, and his merit points were not blown by the strong wind.

"Are you talking about the rapids room for training? That one is charged by the hour. You have to ask the rapids room at the training ground for the specific fee. However, it depends on the past regulations."

"The usage fee for the torrent room is 5 merit points per hour, while the usage fee for the advanced torrent room is 15 merit points per hour." The girl rummaged through a piece of paper on the side and replied to Renn's question enthusiastically. question.

After all, these are common sense within the Sword Bearer Branch, and the relevant regulations can be found by just looking for them.

"Thank you. By the way, I also want to ask about the exchange price of the atomizing mixture?" Renn nodded and said.

"Huh? Sir, are you asking about the atomizing mixture?" The girl couldn't help but look at Ren with some doubts in her big eyes.

Judging from his body shape and stature, this young adult looks like a powerful knight, but he doesn't look like a wizard apprentice who wants to be promoted to a wizard.

Under the influence of her ears and eyes, the girl certainly knew what the atomizing mixture was used for.

"Yes."

"Okay, sir." The girl smiled sweetly.

"Sir, the exchange price is 1 gold medal plus 2,000 merit points."

Renn immediately frowned upon hearing this.

It's so expensive.

"What about the fire-based ones, whose defense is level one witchcraft?"

"According to your authority, we have found two items in total. Sir, please look at the Wisdom Slate." After the girl finished speaking, several lines of small white characters were updated on the black slate in front of Ren:

"Resist the Ring of Fire: Level 1 witchcraft, which consumes a certain amount of mental power and uses a specific witchcraft model to induce surrounding fire energy particles, causing a blazing ring of fire to surround the caster. When attacked, the ring of fire will move outward. Eject flames, knocking enemies away.

Exchange price: 2 gold medals plus 4500 merit points.

"Fire Shield: Level 1 witchcraft, which consumes a certain amount of mental power and uses a specific witchcraft model to induce surrounding fire energy particles, causing the caster to be surrounded by three constantly rotating flame shields. The flame shields are harmful to entities. And energy attacks have good defensive effects.

Exchange price: 2 gold medals plus 4,000 merit points.

Source: Courtesy of the Char School. "

Renn looked at the above two pieces of information carefully.

But his focus at the moment is the exchange price.

Well, basically the same, both are at this price, and two gold medals cannot escape.

Then if you include the atomizing mixture, you will get at least three gold medals.

If you include the metal transformation technique that you have always wanted, you will get four gold medals.

The key is that I don't even have a bronze medal at the moment!

In addition, this does not include the large number of merit points required when redeeming.

Obviously, this is not an amount that can be achieved in the short term, unless it is a loan!

"OK, thanks."

"At your service, my lord." The girl clerk stood up again and bowed, saying.

Renn did not exchange anything, but quickly stood up and left.

A few minutes later, this time, he arrived at the administration building.

If he can borrow enough medals and merit points, Renn will naturally choose to borrow money first to improve his strength. As for the interest, he can accept it as long as it is not too exaggerated.

The Assistance and Promotion Department is on the first floor of the administration building and is easy to find.

Renn quickly found the destination of his trip according to the 'Assist Promotion Department Office' displayed on the door number.

But when Ren arrived, he found that the door was open and there were faint voices coming from inside.

When he walked into the room, Ren found that several new sword wielders of this batch were already asking, and there were two quite familiar figures among them.

When they heard the footsteps coming from behind, several people couldn't help but turn their heads and look over.

"Huh? Renn, what are you doing?" The red-haired beauty Evelin couldn't help being surprised when she saw Renn appearing at the door.

Evelin and Renn are old friends.

She naturally knew that Renn had worked in a functional department of the empire before, so he should not be short of merit points in the short term.

"It's Mr. Renn, why are you here?" Vieri, who was consulting, quickly stood up and greeted with a smile when he saw that the person was Renn.

The other newcomers immediately stood up and smiled broadly.

After all, Renn left such a profound impression on these newcomers, and his striking style is still lingering in their minds.

Renn nodded to these people and smiled slightly.

He really didn't expect that Evelin and Vieri were both here.

"Your Excellency Rennes, why don't you come first." Vieri said enthusiastically. He has always admired Rennes for having such strength at such a young age.

Naturally, the other newcomers had no objections.

This made the freckled girl staff member who consulted Vieri nervous.

She didn't know why this apparently younger-looking boy made these sword-wielding adults look so respectful.

Ren waved his hand, smiled and said, "No, no, just line up normally."

"No! Mr. Ren, you come first." Vieri stepped aside and said with a smile.

Several other people also immediately stepped aside.

This. Faced with smiling faces

All right!

A sentence said by a certain star in his previous life suddenly appeared in Renn's mind:

"When you are not famous, there are all kinds of people around you, people who are playing tricks on you, people who are teasing you, people who are doing bad things. But after you become famous, you suddenly find that you are surrounded by good people, and every face is filled with smiles."

"Thank you, then I'm sorry." Ren bowed slightly.

After Renn sat down, he asked: "Hello, I would like to ask about some matters about the loan."

"Of course, sir. Please take a seat." The freckled girl was obviously a little nervous and stuttered.

"Please, sir, please show me your emblem."

"OK."

After taking the bronze emblem handed over by Ren with both hands, the freckled girl looked surprised, "Bronze emblem?"

However, she was just stunned for a moment and immediately started to inquire.

"Huh?" The freckled girl seemed to have found something, with a look of shock on her face.

"Sir, please wait a moment. Your loan amount is too high and my superiors need to approve it."

Um?

After hearing the freckled girl's words, several other people couldn't help but cast their gazes over, with expressions of curiosity or surprise on their faces.

Although several people have not applied for a loan yet, the red-haired beauty Evelin has just applied for it, and her limit is one thousand.

In addition, all the procedures that the freckled girl in front of me went through just now did not happen at all.

"Huh? What's my limit?" Renn couldn't help but asked curiously when he saw the freckled girl's surprised look.

"Sir, the upper limit of your quota is a full ten thousand merit points." At this moment, the freckled girl finally calmed down and reported the number clearly.

Hiss~

There was a gasping sound all around!

Especially Evelin, who had already gone through the process, covered her mouth with her small hands and looked shocked!

She had just completed the application, and the limit was one thousand!

Just a moment ago, she thought it was a huge sum.

Now look back at Rennes’s quota and compare it with your own.

this is really

Evelin instantly felt that her one thousand quota was no longer good.

Renn immediately raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "Okay, this is the amount!"

With this ten thousand quota, it is enough to exchange all the few things you need.

It seems that Kuhlman didn't talk nonsense in the morning.

Sure enough, it depends on the potential, or the amount of the loan, and most likely based on a person's later repayment ability.

After all, having great potential and strength means a strong ability to earn merit points in the future!

"Mr. Renn, I will go and ask the Undersecretary of Affairs, Melanie, to come over now. Please wait for a moment." The freckled girl staff member asked respectfully.

"Yeah." Ren nodded.

The freckled girl staff member stepped out of the door with her legs clacking, and soon, a well-dressed young woman came in.

"Is this Mr. Ryan? He is indeed young and promising! I am Melanie Clinton, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Assistance and Promotion. Hello, Mr. Ryan." The young woman was very polite.

"Hello, Mr. Melanie." Ryan stood up and said.

"Mr. Ryan, do you want to withdraw all the credit?"

"Yes."

As he was talking, Ryan suddenly thought of something and immediately said, "Wait, I have another question. Mr. Melanie, this loan is only for merit points, but there is no task evaluation medal?"

"Of course, the task evaluation medal still needs to complete the task to obtain it." Melanie nodded and said affirmatively.

This immediately made Ryan frown slightly and his face changed!

Then this loan is basically meaningless to him.

He has just been to the exchange hall. Basically, whether it is atomized potions or witchcraft, the main or key to the exchange is the gold medal.

For the exchange of the remaining potions, the more than 2,000 merit points he has on hand are enough in the short term.

And as he slowly completes the tasks in the later stage, I believe the merit points will also be quickly credited.

Seemingly aware of Ryan's unhappiness, Melanie observed his expression and said: "Sir Ryan, are you more anxious to exchange something?"

Ryan hesitated and nodded slightly.

Melanie smiled and said: "Sir Ryan, since you are already a bronze-level swordsman, the loan is different from that of ordinary newcomers. If it is convenient for you, can you come to my room to talk?"

Ryan raised his eyebrows.

This.

Is there any room for operation?

After thinking about it, Ryan nodded and followed the beautiful young woman Melanie out of the office.

The other newcomers looked eagerly at Ryan's leaving figure, and at the same time, a big question mark popped up in their minds.

Can bronze sword holders borrow task evaluation medals?

When Ryan came to the exclusive office of the Deputy Minister of Affairs, Melanie began to introduce:

"Sir Ryan, as the captain of the bronze sword holders, you can apply for consumer loans, which are two types of loans from the previous rookie loans."

"Hmm? Sir Melanie, please introduce the rules of consumer loans."

"Okay, Sir Ryan, for consumer loans, you only need to pay one-third of the price of an item to use it in advance, and then pay it back within the specified time."

33% down payment?

It's a bit like a mortgage. Ryan couldn't help but think to himself.

But soon, he thought of another question: "One third? One third of the merit points is easier to understand, but how to calculate one third of the medals?"

"It's like this, for example, if you need three silver medals, then you need to pay one first."

"But if the item only needs one or two silver medals, since it cannot be split and borrowed according to regulations, you still need to pay one silver medal and one third of the merit points first."

"In this case, we generally recommend that you put together several items that need to be exchanged, such as collecting three silver medals and then package them for loan."

Ryan nodded.

He understood, this is really good.

That is to say, he only needs to earn one gold medal to get a loan for the atomization mixture and the first-level fire magic for defense.

Wait.

I also want the metal transformation.

"That. Ms. Melanie, do you need at least one third? Can't it be one quarter?" Ryan tried to ask.

"One quarter is the authority of the silver level, this." Melanie couldn't help but look embarrassed.

However, in an instant, Melanie remembered the striking red "special grade" in the overall evaluation when she was checking the information of the boy in front of her, and immediately changed her words: "Okay! Lord Ryan, then you pay a quarter!"

Ryan's face was delighted!

In this way, he only needs to get a gold medal to get the above three items in advance!

"By the way, Lord Ryan, I'm sorry to ask, you want to exchange." At this time, Melanie finally remembered that she hadn't asked Ryan what he was going to exchange.

"Atomizer potion, fire magic "resist fire ring" and metal deformation." Ryan said bluntly.

"Ah? This" Melanie's eyes were wide open, looking at Ryan.

Oh my God!

Four gold medals of items!

Lord Ryan, even if you are a new sword holder with a potential evaluation of special grade, this is too exaggerated!

Melanie was shouting in her heart at this moment!

"It seems that it won't work?" Ryan looked at Melanie who was shocked, and couldn't help but said disappointedly.

"This. Sir Ryan, I..." Melanie stammered.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing an army uniform with a pair of golden branches and four crescent-shaped crescents on his shoulder straps walked in and said with a smile: "Melanie, handle the relevant procedures for Sir Ryan, just follow the three items Sir Ryan just mentioned."

"Ah, okay, okay, sir!" Melanie immediately stood up and said.

"Sir Ryan, this is Colonel Stanley, Admiral Edward's secretary." Melanie hurriedly introduced.

"Colonel Stanley, hello." Ryan immediately stood up and greeted.

"Sir Ryan, Admiral Edward is very optimistic about you," Stanley smiled and nodded.

After some pleasantries, Stanley took something and left in a hurry again, which was quite busy.

Rennes has signed a loan agreement.

In other words, once he has a gold medal and a quarter of merit points, he can withdraw the above three items in advance.

This will undoubtedly greatly speed up Ren's progress in possessing the above three items!

In addition, regarding the new loan, Rennes still got the loan.

After all, newcomer loans and consumer loans are two types of loans, but Rennes is special. It is both a newcomer and a bronze-level treatment.

Therefore, this immediately made Renne feel good.

He came to the exchange hall again.

Soon, Ren returned to his room holding a long brown box.

When Ren opened it, he saw a bottle of transparent glass test tube filled with yellow liquid inside, with a faint white cold air surrounding it, as if it had just been taken out of a refrigerator.

I saw a label on it with several lines of small words written on it:

"Powerful strength potion, a training auxiliary potion, will increase the strength of the user to a certain extent within half a month after drinking it. The degree of increase varies from person to person, generally about 10%."

"How to take: Take on an empty stomach."

"Note: In order to avoid unpredictable changes, it is strictly prohibited to take it with other medicines, ferocious animal meat, etc. - Royal Apothecary Society Munster Branch."

Since there was no familiar person in the Munster branch of the Royal Pharmacists' Association, Lane could only use merit points to purchase it.

fortunately.

After taking out the Newcomer Loan, Renne didn't have much else but a lot of merit points.

Enough potions!

After returning to his room, Ren opened the wooden box without any hesitation and took the yellow potion in his hand.

Suddenly, a slight cooling sensation came from the palm of my hand.

"Boo~"

When Ren pulled off the cork on the top of the test tube, a faint fragrance immediately came out. The smell was hard to describe. It seemed to be a little sweet, like the fragrance of blueberries, apples and other fruits.

Ren's nose twitched slightly and his eyes moved slightly.

"This scent."

He could feel that his body seemed to be sending him some kind of signal to drink it!

Ren was on an empty stomach at the moment, so he drank it all in one gulp without any hesitation!

The sweet yellow liquid went down the throat and straight into the stomach.

Ren smacked his lips, savoring the sweet taste that still lingered in his mouth.

"Don't tell me, it tastes really good! It feels like fruity milk!"

However, after a few seconds, Ren was stunned.

Because at this time, he felt a sudden surge of heat in his stomach and began to spread around his body.

This feeling was like being soaked in a hot spring, or like a girl gently stroking his skin with her slender fingers, giving him a tingling feeling.

Ren couldn't help but immediately lay down on the bed comfortably and closed his eyes to feel it.

After a few minutes, the effect of the drug gradually weakened until it stabilized at a weaker level, and then remained unchanged.

At this time, the system prompt suddenly sounded:

【Congratulations! Your strength attributes are improved! 】

Huh?

The effect is immediate!

Renn checked the attribute panel. The strength attribute, which had not been improved for a long time, had been increased from 27 to 28 points.

At this moment, he was full of energy and felt endless strength all over his body.

The warm current generated by the powerful strength potion was still flowing slowly in the body, and Renn could feel the warm current seeping into the muscle fascia of the body.

"Will it last half a month?"

"If it is increased by about 10%, based on my own strength of about 30 points, I can almost increase my strength attribute by three points."

"I heard from Instructor Coleman that when taking medicine, it will be most effective when combined with intensive training."

"Then let's go to the rapids room now."

The afternoon course is a professional course similar to technical skills.

In other words, if you are a sword and shield knight or a great knight, an instructor who specializes in sword and shield will be responsible for teaching you relevant techniques.

This is why Coleman told Renn that he should stop taking this two-handed hammer skills course.

After all, Renn's skill level on the two-handed war hammer was completely different from his.

In addition, among the newcomers, Renn is not the only one who uses a two-handed warhammer, but there are four or five others. Renn naturally cannot let Coleman be his one-on-one sparring partner.

As for the task

Sharpening the knife will not waste time chopping wood!

Before the re-examination, the organization did not have any task requirements for the newcomers, and naturally there was no assignment of tasks.

This month is for new sword wielders to get familiar with the environment and understand the various situations they are about to face.

Renn felt that since the 'money ability' obtained through loans could improve one's own strength, it was natural to improve one's strength first.

After all, there are still a lot of good things in the Sword Bearer Division.

For example, the powerful strength potion this time gave him a lot of surprises.

Unfortunately, you cannot continue to take other potions, such as powerful agility potions or powerful strength potions, while the medicine is in effect.

five minutes later.

Renn came to the official training venue of the Sword Bearer Branch for the first time
