Chapter 37: The Legend of Sun Moon Chamber of Commerce
Looking at these three martial spirits, Leng Xiyao was speechless. The first one seemed to have a very powerful ability, but what the hell were the next two!
I won’t talk about the third one, as it looks like a certain auto chess game. Its essence is just to control the enemy’s mind and force them to fight, but it probably won’t be effective when encountering a strong enemy.
The most important thing is that this thing has no value in coordinating with her own psychic means, so Leng Xiyao first gave up the third option.
For Leng Xiyao, the first and the second were extremely difficult choices to make.
The first martial soul obviously has the most significant effect on her strength improvement, but it is almost useless to the entire Zerg, it is just very cool.
The second card, which is similar to Hearthstone, has a lot of room for maneuver. Its strength bonus to itself may not be as good as the first one, but it will definitely greatly improve the overall combat effectiveness.
Wouldn’t it be exciting to throw out a card during a fight and summon dozens of poisonous explosions?
It seems a bit resource-intensive to play like this.
"Sure enough. Is it still the standard path choice?" Leng Xiyao looked at these three distinctive martial spirits and felt that this routine was familiar.
But if she thinks about it carefully, she actually has no right to choose. Which one she gets as her martial soul depends on which martial soul's synthetic component she encounters next.
Thinking of this, the enthusiasm that was originally generated by unlocking new functions suddenly dissipated a lot. After all, no matter which one it was, it seemed that it was a treasure that you had to rely on luck to get.
The previous conversation with the old man in black robe did not take up too much of Leng Xiyao's time. When Leng Xiyao arrived at the city gate, there was still no trace of the little monsters.
After strolling around for a while, Leng Xiyao found a stall and was immediately delighted. The stall owner turned out to be Flanders wearing a mask.
"Hey, isn't this the dean? Why are you so elegant that you're setting up a stall here?"
"Hush, don't make a sound"
Flanders was in a very depressed mood when he was stopped by Leng Xiyao. It was embarrassing enough for a Soul Saint like him to set up a stall, and he even wore a mask for this purpose. Who knew that he would still be discovered.
"Hehe, I'm just observing what you guys usually do. Money is nothing but my own material possessions. How could I lower myself to set up a stall just for a few bucks?" Flanders said this with great righteousness. If Leng Xiyao hadn't known his character, she would have almost believed it.
"Oh, I see. What did you find, Dean?" There was no point in wandering around, so Leng Xiyao simply found a place to sit down in Flanders' stall. After all, it was not far from the city gate and others could see it when they came.
"I've discovered a very serious problem." Flanders straightened his face and said seriously.
Seeing Flanders being so serious, Leng Xiyao couldn't help but sit up straight: "Please teach me."
"Among these new students, there is one who is not very honest."
"Ning Rongrong?"
"Um, how do you know?"
Of course Leng Xiyao knew this. This girl looked cute on the surface, but was actually very bad. Didn’t she make fun of her when they entered school yesterday?
Flanders was a little surprised. Logically, Leng Xiyao should have no idea about the backgrounds of these classmates. However, he felt relieved when he thought about how she chatted and laughed with Tang Hao yesterday.
"So, how serious of a problem is this?" Leng Xiyao was a little confused.
"Of course it's serious. This is a huge problem. Who is behind Ning Rongrong? The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect! The richest sect on the continent. Even if we leave Tiandou and look at the entire Douluo Continent, its wealth can be ranked in the top ten!"
"If they let some money slip through their fingers, then I won't have to run this crappy shop anymore?" When he got excited, Flanders couldn't help but dance with joy.
Leng Xiyao understood Flanders very well. Although he was greedy for money, he was also a very strong-willed person. If he was asked to be a bootlicker for others or simply become someone else's vassal, he would definitely not do it.
However, soliciting "sponsorship" is obviously not an act that will make you lose face.
"Ah, so the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can only rank in the top ten in terms of wealth in the entire continent? Aren't they the richest?" Leng Xiyao didn't care about Ning Rongrong's affairs, or rather, she already knew the final result, so she was more concerned about another thing that Flanders inadvertently revealed.
"Of course, everyone knows that the richest company on this continent is the Sun Moon Chamber of Commerce, followed by the Spirit Hall, and then the major families and the royal families of the two empires. Although the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is rich, it is only about the same as the royal families, and is slightly inferior to the major families. Therefore, it is not even in the top five."
Flanders was a little surprised. This kind of thing should be a common sense issue, but he didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Leng family didn't know it.
Of course Leng Xiyao didn't know. She had never had the chance to understand this world since she was a child. The capitalists she had come into contact with in Xingdou Town before could only be regarded as middle class. They were not considered a big force in the entire continent. The strongest person in his family was only a Soul Sage, and the ones who came into contact with her were only Soul Emperors and Soul Kings. Naturally, she was not as well-informed as Flanders.
"Sun Moon Chamber of Commerce? Whose power is this?" Leng Xiyao was a little surprised when she heard the name of the Sun Moon Chamber of Commerce. Although she was not very familiar with the major forces, she also knew that Douluo Continent was still the same Douluo, and no one knew where the Sun Moon Continent was at this time.
So, where did this Sun and Moon Chamber of Commerce come from?
"The Sun and Moon Chamber of Commerce has existed in Douluo Continent for hundreds of years. It is said that it was originally formed by a group of pirates. Because they can make soul guides that have been lost, they are extremely popular and even have a monopoly. It is difficult not to make money." As he spoke, Flanders' face showed longing, and it was obvious that he was extremely yearning for a life without shortage of money.
Leng Xiyao was speechless. No wonder she always felt something was wrong. Soul guides seemed to be extremely popular and widely used in this world. It would be strange if there was no mastermind behind the scenes.
Could this so-called Sun and Moon Chamber of Commerce be made up of people who wandered here from the Sun and Moon Continent?
"So, they are so rich, why doesn't the Spirit Hall take them in?" Leng Xiyao was very puzzled. With the Spirit Hall's overbearing style, how could they allow a group of "pirates" with little power to make money wantonly on the mainland?
Flanders sighed, "In the beginning, the Sun Moon Chamber of Commerce was a vassal force of the Spirit Hall. After deducting costs, 70% of the profits had to be handed over to the Spirit Hall. But more than ten years ago, the Sun Moon Chamber of Commerce recruited ten Titled Douluo whose strength was comparable to that of the Elders of the Elder Hall, and became the top force on the continent."
"After they had the capital to negotiate with the Spirit Hall, they began to amass wealth even more unscrupulously. They established the Sun and Moon Academy, which specializes in teaching people how to make soul guides. In the end, after these students finished their studies, they were at their disposal. Their assets also grew like a snowball."
