Huo Yuhao shrugged innocently: "It's not that Brother Hao is lazy, it's just that the supplier has been out of stock. I'm going to the city today to urge them to deliver the goods. Is that okay?"
Huo Yuhao felt helpless as he watched the students who were looking forward to his stall opening up in such a state of distress.
"Hey, let's go." Wang Dong looked gloating.
Others can’t eat Huo Yuhao’s barbecue, but he can eat it every day.
The two left the academy and entered Shrek City.
Huo Yuhao walked towards his destination, Jubao Pavilion, with ease.
Wang Dong followed him and asked in surprise: "Yuhao, have you been here before?"
Huo Yuhao said: "Well, I basically visited Shrek City and have some impression of that place."
Among all the Shrek students, Huo Yuhao was the one who went to the city most frequently. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would take Tianmeng for a stroll in the city. In one year, he had already learned all the major landmarks of Shrek City.
The two stopped in front of a magnificent building.
"Welcome to our two distinguished guests."
Wearing the school uniforms of Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong received top-level treatment.
An extremely beautiful girl in a white dress received them and led them to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.
Each booth was filled with a wide variety of merchandise, each covered with huge crystal glass.
The girl in the white dress said, "Welcome the two distinguished guests to the Treasure Appreciation Meeting at Jubao Pavilion. You can browse at will. If you find something you like, you can register to buy it, or you can evaluate the amount and buy it on credit. Do you need an evaluation now?"
Huo Yuhao declined politely: “No, I don’t like buying on credit.”
"Okay, I won't bother you two, please take your time browsing."
The girl in the white dress bowed respectfully and left.
Wang Dong was surprised and asked, "Yuhao, why did you refuse?"
"Do you want to buy on credit?" Huo Yuhao raised his eyes and asked.
Wang Dong blushed: "I, I don't need credit, I have plenty of money. But you should really need it, right?"
Huo Yuhao said with disdain: “Oh, do you think others are stupid? They are giving you credit instead of doing a ready-made business? Be careful that the interest will compound faster than your soul power increases.”
Wang Dong smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. The Treasure Award will only charge a small amount of interest for students from our Shrek Academy to buy on credit."
Huo Yuhao snorted coldly: "That would be even more troublesome. If someone doesn't want to gain financial benefits from you, it means that he has greater demands."
"That's right." Wang Dong explained, "This is actually the investment that those merchants have made in us, especially our core disciples. Many merchants are counting on investing in us."
“This is a favor, and favors must be repaid.” Huo Yuhao said coldly, “But I don’t like to repay favors, so let’s just not owe each other anything from the beginning.”
Wang Dong was silent.
“Let’s walk around.” Huo Yuhao said, and he and Wang Dong walked between the various booths.
"Level 7 Soul Guidance Device Design Drawing, 500,000 Gold Soul Coins."
"The left leg bone of a thousand-year-old thunder-attributed soul beast, six hundred thousand gold soul coins."
"Blue Flame Gold, fifty-five thousand gold soul coins."
“Soul-raising pill…”
The treasure viewing event has a wide variety of exhibits, including soul guides, elixirs, soul bones, metals... everything you can think of, but they all have one thing in common: they are expensive.
It’s not that Huo Yuhao couldn’t afford it, but there were no ice-attribute soul bones or rare treasures that were suitable for him, so he didn’t like any of them.
"Alas, this is the power of money." Huo Yuhao said with emotion as he played with a gold soul coin in his right hand.
Wang Dong smiled and asked, "Yuhao, what great truth have you realized?"
Huo Yuhao's expression was deep: "This is an abstract power contained in concrete things, but I'm not sure what kind of power it can exert in this world."
"For example, if you have no soul power, but you are very rich and have hundreds of millions of gold soul coins, you can spend tens of millions of gold soul coins to hire enough soul masters. Those soul masters also need gold coins to buy cultivation resources, so they will naturally be hired by you."
"Then an ordinary person without soul power can also exert the actual influence of the Soul Saint Soul Douluo level. This is the power of money."
Although he said this, Huo Yuhao was also refutating it in his heart.
This logic works fine on Earth, but it cannot be simply applied to Douluo Continent, because this world has essential powers that are much more advanced than money.
That is soul power.
The employment relationship between ordinary people and soul masters is not strong.
Wang Dong shook his head and said, "Yuhao, I think you are wrong."
"An ordinary person cannot have so much money, and someone with so much money cannot be an ordinary person."
Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are right."
It seems that Wang Dong has been with him for a long time, and his thinking has begun to diverge. He immediately saw the weaknesses in this logic.
"I'm going to go back first, you can take your time shopping."
"Leaving now? Yuhao, aren't you going to buy anything?"
After saying goodbye to Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao was the first to leave Jubao Pavilion.
"The power of money? I have never been short of money." Wang Dong said to himself. Suddenly, he felt a bright breath that was very suitable for him and looked over with joy.
That is a soul bone.
The rich breath of light filled Wang Dong's eyes with desire, but when he saw the price of the soul bone, Tong Kong couldn't help but shrink violently and stood there stupidly.
"Nine and a half million gold soul coins?!"
……
Inside Shrek City.
After coming out of Jubao Pavilion, it was already dark.
Huo Yuhao walked on the street out of the city, tossing the gold soul coins in his right hand, and sighed: "It seems that compared with real violence, the power of capital is still inferior."
Just then, a figure in a black robe passed by him.
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, took the gold soul coin with his right hand, and looked up at the man’s back.
He felt a breath from the other person that he had just come into contact with not long ago.
That old voice sounded in my ears.
"Child, follow me."
"That's the breath of the dead."
Chapter 103 Evil Soul Master
Shrek Academy, Poseidon Island.
“What? Is it really Huo Yuhao?” Ma Xiaotao looked at Yan Shaozhe in surprise.
Yan Shaozhe nodded: "That's right, Huo Yuhao's second martial soul is the ultimate ice. The coldness you felt at the beginning came from it. With it, you will never be troubled by evil fire again."
Ma Xiaotao was excited: "That's great, I was going crazy because of that evil fire. Why didn't he tell me earlier?"
Speaking of this, Ma Xiaotao was stunned.
When she thought of Huo Yuhao's scolding at her by the lake that day, the joy in her heart disappeared by half.
"I'll go find him now. Where is he?" Ma Xiaotao asked indifferently.
Yan Shaozhe frowned, noticing Ma Xiaotao's disappointment, but still said, "He should be going to the city to attend the treasure appreciation meeting today."
"Got it." Ma Xiaotao responded softly and disappeared into the night sky.
Yan Shaozhe fell into deep thought.
He was pretty sure something unpleasant had happened between the two men.
But he was soon relieved.
As long as Ma Xiaotao's evil fire problem can be completely solved, everything can be discussed.
……
Outside Shrek City.
In the groves all over the mountain, two figures in black robes were gathering here.
One of them asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you alone? Where are the third and fourth brothers?"
Another person said to him respectfully: "Maybe we are almost there. After all, this Shrek City is quite big."
A hoarse voice said: "Humph, I hope you are not going to eat."
At this moment, another black figure came forward, and his calm voice revealed an unconcealable joy and satisfaction: "I'm back."
Seeing him, he said in a hoarse voice, "Old Four, have you forgotten what I told you before? Don't eat in Shrek City. This Shrek City is the location of Shrek Academy. It is full of masters. I can't deal with them."
The satisfied voice said, "Haha, don't worry, Boss. I specifically picked the civilians to attack. There are millions of civilians in Shrek City, so if one or two are missing, no one will notice."
A hoarse voice said, "Humph, we are just passing through here. When we reach the Xing Luo Empire, you will have the chance to eat as much as you want."
A satisfied voice said, "Ah - I love admiring the miserable scenes of people before they die. The more miserable their screams are, the more delicious their souls are. Hehehe, hahahaha..."
After saying this, he let out a strange and creepy laugh.
"Where's the third brother?" asked a hoarse voice.
"He should have gone to eat as well."
Another voice said, "Let's wait a little longer."
The satisfied voice asked, "Boss, why are we suddenly going to the Xingluo Empire?"
The hoarse voice explained, "For some reason, the military strength of the Xingluo Empire has suddenly increased in recent years. It has defeated the Sun and Moon Empire on the front line and even signed a ceasefire agreement. The leader ordered us to go to the Xingluo Empire to cause damage and absorb believers."
"Hahahahahahahahaha, then I'm going to eat as much as I can, hahahaha..."
The three of them stayed in the woods for a long time.
Suddenly, a hoarse voice exclaimed: "Oh no, the third brother is dead, let's go!"
"What?" The other two voices asked in surprise, "He is a powerful Soul King, how could he die so quickly?"
