C14 Report to

"A handyman?" Tie Xiaoyan was stunned. He thought he could stand within the domain of the Steel Lord once he arrived in Iron City.

"Of course, or where do you think you're going?" The old man looked at the young man in front of him, a disdainful smile appearing on his face, "You think you can become an iron controller just by coming to Iron City?"

"Then, may I ask how do I become an iron controller?" Tie Xiao Jun had come here to learn more about the Iron City's controller. Now that he had heard that he could only work here as a laborer, he was naturally reluctant.

"You want to become an iron controller? Of course, you need to possess extraordinary strength. Moreover, you have just entered Iron City and are still unaware of the various aspects of your physical attributes. How could you so easily become an official disciple?" The old man slowly said after hearing Tie Xiao Jun call him 'old sir'.

"Oh, okay, I understand. Thank you for your guidance." Even though giving guidance doesn't count, Tie Xiao Jun still thought that this should be the rule of Iron City. If anyone could become an official member of Iron City, Iron City probably wouldn't have such powerful strength now.

After thanking the old man, he asked where he should go to report to. The old man obviously didn't care about this, but luckily there were quite a few freshmen instructors outside the newspaper, so he could ask them about things he didn't know.

Walking out of the registration office, Tie Xiao Jun was about to ask a instructor, but a man in black suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Tie Xiaojun?" The black-clothed person covered his face and a deep voice came out from the veil.

"Right." Tie Xiao Jun nodded, looking at the black clothed man, thinking that it might be the City Lord's men.

"Follow me." Seeing the situation, Tie Xiao Jun followed closely behind. The man in black was walking like the wind, but it seemed like he was trotting, and his footsteps were very light. Tie Xiao Jun followed behind him, and at first he was walking at a fast pace, but then he realized that he couldn't keep up with the man's speed at all, even if he was surprised by the length of his steps.

Along the way, Tie Xiaoyan's attention was focused on following the man in black. He was too busy paying attention to the changes in the surroundings and he had unknowingly passed through half of Iron City. It was already after dusk.

The black clothed man in front suddenly stopped. Tie Xiao-jun was also relieved, sighing as he finally arrived. However, when he raised his head, he was surprised to find that his surroundings had turned dark, and there were no longer any clouds in the sky.

"Why did it suddenly turn dark?" Tie Xiao Jun's face was filled with surprise.

"Right now, you are at the inner part of Iron City, which is a day's journey away from the city gates." The man in black spoke indifferently. Once again, he raised his foot.

Tie Xiaojun nodded. When he saw the black-clothed man drive away, his face was filled with anxiety. The sky was already dark, and the person leading the way was also wearing black. With his speed, he was worried that he would lose them if he wasn't careful.

Strangely, the man in black returned to his normal speed after entering the courtyard. He walked forward slowly. His footsteps were lighter than before, as if he was afraid of making a ruckus.

After making many turns in the courtyard, the man in black brought Tie Xiao Jun to a secluded spot where flowers, plants, water and wood were growing.

"Reporting, Manager. The new person has been brought." The black-clothed man cupped his fists and said respectfully.

"Mm, got it. Go back." A faint voice came from within the room. It sounded somewhat old, but it was also extremely spirited after hearing it carefully.

At this moment, the courtyard was covered by the starlight, giving it an indescribable peace. Tie Xiao Jun was also extremely vigilant against this mysterious place, so he immediately recognized that the person speaking was an old man. At the same time, he could sense the spirit of a young man.

"Yes." After saying that, the man in black didn't even look back as he slowly and quietly left.

At this moment, there was only Tie Xiaoyan left in the courtyard. He was a little nervous, not knowing whether to go in or not. He didn't even know what to do anymore.

"Wait a moment, after this old man finishes playing this game." As if afraid that Tie Xiao Jun would be impatient, the old man spoke again.

If he knew that the old man was playing chess, he would rather come a day later. Right now, it was completely dark and he could faintly see some mosquitoes flying around him. Right now, he was standing in an awkward position; if someone saw him, they would think that Tie Xiao Jun was really punished.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Tie Xiaoyan felt his feet go numb. He did not know how many handprints he had made on his face and how many mosquitoes had died in his hands. The door that had been tightly closed finally opened and a light that was blocked by the door shone out.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I was so engrossed in chess that I forgot you were still here. So I went to brew another pot of tea." The old man's face was full of wrinkles and his body was hunched. He did not look well, but his tone revealed his strength.

"It's alright. I've just arrived, so I hope that old mister can give me some pointers in the future." Tie Xiao Jun recalled the black clothed man's previous actions and knew that this old man in front of him was not an ordinary person. Therefore, even though his heart was filled with anger, he did not dare to retort.

"Ah, that's good. Actually, the new students usually arrive before dusk, but you only arrive at night. That's why I forgot about you. If it wasn't for the mayor's message, I wouldn't have listened to you." When the old man heard this, he felt that Tie Xiao Jun respected him and was obviously very satisfied, so he told him the reason.

Hearing this, Tie Xiaoyan suddenly realized that if that was the case, then he had indeed offended the old mister. He cupped his hands and bowed again.

"Hmm, come with me. Your name is Tie Xiao Jun, right?" The old man nodded and finally closed the door, leaving the garden with Tie Xiao-jun.

The main things you need to do now are to help Iron City mine resources, chop firewood, carry water, and carry steel. The main things you need to do are these three things, if there are any other things that will be notified, they will be given special tokens, they can go in and out of the designated location without being intercepted by anyone, so you don't have to worry about awkward things happening. Secondly, while you work, you will score according to your labor results, and if you don't meet the requirements, you will be rewarded. "However, people on the same level as you can only rely on themselves to plunder." When the old man finished speaking, his tone became obviously more serious.

"Yes, I will definitely remember this!" Tie Xiaoyan was stunned, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, but since the old man had already reminded him, he would naturally take note of it.

This is also for your own good. In fact, it's just for the sake of quickly increasing your strength, because you're new, and the only thing that can help you become stronger is becoming an official member of Iron City. But just this alone is not enough. The old man explained.

He heard every word very clearly, but he did not know what to say, nor did he want to say anything, because he was currently thinking about how to protect himself. If he really could not do it, then he still needed to train himself!

"We're here, this is your room. It's a bit remote, but there's no helping it, those new dormitories have already been moved in. You can stay in the old dorm for now, sooner or later, you'll have to move out if you have the strength." The old man brought Tie Xiao-jun to a shabby house and said.

A lot of paint had fallen off from the walls of the house and the door was in tatters. As the roof was too high to be seen, it was unlikely that it would be any better.

"Oh, it's fine. It's quiet here, but can you change the door?" Tie Xiaoyan looked around at the overgrown weeds and the shade of the trees, and then looked at the distant new residential district. He couldn't see many trees in the distance, but after comparing them for a bit, he still felt that the old dormitory was more to his liking. After all, he was used to living in the village.

"Oh, of course. It's our duty to provide a good living environment." The old man was clearly very embarrassed as he hurriedly nodded his head.

"However, I will have to trouble you to take care of it tonight. Although Steel City is still operating at night, there is no one else available to help you with your door cultivation." The old man suddenly thought of something and stopped.

"Ah, so it's like that …" "Fine." Since the old man said it so clearly, then it wasn't good for him to say any more nonsense.

"Alright then, I hope you can sleep well. I'll be leaving first." The old man chuckled and left.

"Sigh …" Isn't this killing me? " Tie Xiao Jun helplessly sighed, pushed open the unlocked broken door, and walked in.

The room wasn't very big, but it was one-third bigger than the one he had in the village. When he entered the room, he could see the table beside him. Under the moonlight, he could see the lamps, candles and matches on the table.

Afterwards, Tie Xiaoyan looked around and found nothing else in the room but a table and a wooden bed. On the wooden bed, there was a huge bundle.

"No one came to clean it?" Tie Xiaoyan lit the lamp and busied himself with looking at the things in the room, but he didn't notice that his hands were already covered with dust. Walking on the ground, he felt a little soft, and when he looked carefully, he could clearly see his own footprints because he had walked into a thick layer of dust.
