Chapter 109 Level 5 Assessment
After meeting His Majesty the King, Xu Yi became even busier in the next two days.
His Majesty the King did not just order 10,000 small magic harvesters from Xu Yi. In addition, he also ordered 5,000 to 10,000 other types of farmland magic machinery brought by Xu Yi.
Such a huge order is undoubtedly a lot of details to be handled in order to truly achieve, so Xu Yi was basically sitting with the people sent by His Majesty the King and officials of the Agricultural Department for negotiations in the past two days.
Of course, it was impossible to fully negotiate in two days, but with the attention and promotion of His Majesty the King, the negotiations went very smoothly. In just two days, the preliminary intentions had been set.
According to His Majesty the King's proposal, the Kingdom of Lampari proposed to the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce in the name of His Majesty the King to purchase six types of farmland magic machinery, ranging from 5,000 to 10,000.
Of course, with the current production capacity of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is definitely impossible to complete such a huge order. But because there are currently no other chamber of commerce except the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is no other chamber of commerce that has the technology to manufacture magic machinery in farmland, so it finally decided to let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce provide it in batches.
The first batch of 500 magic machines of various types of farmland are required to be delivered before spring planting tomorrow.
Promising this batch of orders actually made Xu Yi very troublesome.
Although the production capacity of the magic machine workshop has been greatly improved with the addition of 100 dwarves from the Angora tribe, it is still extremely difficult to complete the order for a total of 3,000 farmland magic machinery before planting next spring.
The reason why Xu Yi agreed was entirely because His Majesty the King firmly disagreed with reducing the number of the first batch of orders to less than 500 units. Because it is difficult to reflect the advantages of large-scale production that Xu Yi mentioned. It is impossible to make His Majesty the King completely make up his mind.
After all, behind orders for tens of thousands of farmland magic machinery, His Majesty the King and the Agriculture Department need to pay a huge amount of money up to millions of gold coins.
This amount of funds is absolutely unsupported by the current finances of the Kingdom of Lampari, so His Majesty the King proposed to Xu Yi to use the resources in the kingdom to pay.
Xu Yi naturally welcomed this. Although his request to obtain a fiefdom was rejected by His Majesty the King, his request to obtain iron ore and magic crystal mine was met.
According to the preliminary agreement between the two parties, Xu Yi will obtain two iron ore currently within the boundary of Bangta City, as well as three magic crystal mines that have left the boundary of Bangta City in the northwest of Bangta City.
Since Xu Yi has no idea about these veins at present, this is just a naive agreement. This agreement will only take effect once Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have inspected these veins and expressed satisfaction with the veins.
After receiving these veins, Xu Yi must complete the various small farmland magic machinery required on all orders within next year in accordance with the order requirements, and assist the Agriculture Department in completing the deployment of all farmland transformations in the kingdom.
So Xu Yi is now facing strong pressure.
Before planting next spring, if the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce cannot complete the first batch of orders, not only will the mine not be able to get it, but more importantly, he and the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce are likely to directly lose the trust and support of His Majesty the King.
If such a result is really caused, it will undoubtedly cause an extremely heavy blow to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and will also have an irreversible and significant impact on Xu Yi's long-term planning.
Therefore, this batch of orders must be completed and there must be no errors.
However, as a mechanical engineer, Xu Yi's job is to be extremely meticulous and not allow any mistakes, so he has long been accustomed to facing pressure and has even learned to generate motivation from pressure.
Although this first batch of orders and subsequent orders for farmland magic machinery are very large, Xu Yi felt that through this opportunity, the transformation and expansion of the magic machine tool workshop that had been prepared for a long time will promote the development and growth of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
As long as you seize this opportunity, the prospects of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will undoubtedly become excellent.
After two days of busyness, the third day was the day when the Magician Union conducted a Level 5 assessment.
According to Xu Yi's original plan, he should have participated in the Level 4 assessment yesterday. He tried to directly become a Level 4 magician from the junior magician, but when he thought of the sudden request from Viscount Leslie that day, Xu Yi thought about it over and over again, and finally decided to skip the Level 4 assessment and directly participate in the Level 5 assessment.
The number of magicians who came to participate in the assessment on this day was obviously much less than the primary assessment on the first day. After Xu Yi came to the examination room, he found that there were only less than fifty people including him, which was not as many people as there were in any corner on the first day.
Unlike the previous examination room where the primary examination was held, Xu Yi, the magicians here, knew none of them.
After all, the premise for a magician who dares to participate in the level 5 assessment is to have the strength of a level 4 magician. There are no too many level 4 magicians, and it is difficult to break through and become a level 5 magician. Of course, there are very few magicians who come to participate in the level 5 assessment every year.
In the examination room of the junior assessment, Xu Yi, who is already twenty-seven years old, seems a little older and is often cast with contemptuous eyes. However, in the examination room of the fifth assessment, he appears younger and more likely to make people feel outstanding in talent, so he naturally attracts the attention of others.
Everyone was even more surprised when they saw that Xu Yi had not even hung a badge representing the level of a magician on his chest.
Could this kid be even a junior magician, so he came to participate in the Level 5 magician assessment?
With everyone's surprised eyes, Xu Yi reported his name to the staff of the Magician Union who was responsible for the assessment.
After hearing the name, the staff in charge of the assessment looked at Xu Yi in surprise, then frowned and said in a deep voice: "Xu Yi, are you sure you want to participate in the Level 5 assessment? I must remind you that although you have a special recommendation quota for the Great Magician of Camilla and can participate in the assessment above the level, but only this one chance. If you fail, you will never be able to get special recommendations again, and your evaluation in the Magician Union will be reduced by one level. I hope you can understand these consequences."
Hearing the staff's words, everyone around him suddenly realized.
It turns out that this kid actually has a special recommendation quota. No wonder he can come directly to participate in the Level 5 assessment.
Then everyone looked at Xu Yi with a hint of disdain.
Since this kid is not even a junior magician, why do you think he can pass the level 5 assessment? It's too vague.
But in addition to disdain, everyone was more confused.-
Since this guy will receive special recommendation from the Great Magician Camilla, I think he should have a strong magical talent, so he will be appreciated by the Great Magician Camilla.
Maybe he is the magic apprentice secretly accepted by the Great Magician Camilla. He has been devoted to learning magic. The reason why he has never participated in the Magician Union's assessment before is to make a big splash in this assessment.
Think about it, what shocking news is that a young magician who participated in the assessment of the Magician Union for the first time and became a level 5 magician.
Xu Yike didn't expect that the people around him would have so many strange thoughts in his heart. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to whether he could pass this assessment, and he didn't even pay much attention to participating in the Magician Union's assessment this time.
If it weren't for the repeated urging of Camilla and Steele, he would have been too lazy to come and take the assessment at all.
If it weren't for Viscount Leslie's request, it would be even more impossible for him to come directly to participate in the Level 5 assessment.
In fact, his current strength is between level 4 and level 5 magicians. If he participates in the level 4 assessment, he is more than 90% sure to pass it.
But if he participates in the fifth level assessment, his confidence will only drop to 50% or even lower.
Compared with the primary assessment, the content of the fifth-level assessment is less complicated, with only two aspects: written test and practical assessment.
Of course, there is no need to say much about the actual test. The written test is to test the magicians' attainments in magic theory, which is also very important.
To Xu Yi's surprise, the written test content of this level 5 assessment was actually about several level 5 magic arrays.
In order to study magic machinery, Xu Yi's research and understanding of magic circles is far superior to that of magicians of the same level. He even discussed various level five magic circles with the great magician Camilla very early, and he was well aware of various details. The content of these assessments naturally could not defeat him.
It took less than half an hour to complete the written test content easily and easily.
Seeing Xu Yi leaving the examination room with ease, the magicians around him who also participated in the examination looked at him and suddenly became shocked.
Could this guy be a real genius? Maybe his real strength is even far superior to that of a level 5 magician?
However, in the actual combat assessment that began an hour later, these magicians who had just been shocked by Xu Yi were immediately shocked.
It’s not that Xu Yi’s performance is not good, but in actual combat assessment, the magic used by Xu Yi has always been maintained at the level of a level 4 magician. Even if he can occasionally use one or two level 5 magic, it is obvious that he is not well mastered.
No matter how you look at it, Xu Yi's real strength is just like a level 4 magician. It is very difficult to pass the level 5 assessment.
So everyone's eyes at Xu Yi became strange again.
Is this guy really just a simple arrogant person?
The actual combat assessment was completed. Xu Yi's performance was that although Meng Meng of the total 47 magicians who participated in the assessment did not end, she was obviously in the middle and lower reaches.
According to the tradition of the Magician Union, there are limited places for magicians who can pass the assessment each time. According to normal circumstances, Xu Yi will definitely not be able to pass the Level 5 assessment this time.
Feeling the ridicule and jokes coming from everyone's eyes, Xu Yi's face was calm and unmoved.
As a mechanical engineer, he pays great attention to seeking truth from facts. His current strength is indeed between level 4 and level 5 magicians. Even if he cannot pass the level 5 assessment, it is predictable and it is not unacceptable.
What's more, he didn't care much about the results of this assessment.
However, after waiting patiently for two hours, everyone was shocked as soon as the assessment results were announced, including Xu Yi.
Xu Yi's name suddenly appeared on the list of approvals!
