Chapter 445: Can I get some points?
In an alley in the center of Ming City, the light twisted slightly, and two figures emerged from the illusion.
Gao Dalou patted his chest with lingering fear, "Brother, have you offended someone?"
“They came here for you.” Huo Yuhao was speechless. “For your carving knife.”
"Oh! What do they want with my carving knife? All the well-known soul masters in Mingdu know that only I can use my carving knife." Gao Dalou didn't believe it.
“It needs blood to activate it, right? Tie you back and let your blood flow when I need to use the knife, right?” A cold voice sounded. If it weren’t for the blonde hair and clear golden eyes on her forehead, Fu Rui, who was wearing a short black skirt, would have been almost completely hidden in the night.
"How do you know? Are you guys going to come and rob me too..." Gao Dalou stepped back repeatedly, his eyes revealing fear and vigilance.
“Rui Rui, don’t scare him.” Huo Yuhao held his forehead with his hand. “You are an idiot! Your carving knife is of no use to me. Only the characteristics of the soul guide you made are a little interesting. That’s why I chatted with you for a while and helped you avoid being hunted down. It’s considered a good relationship.”
It was a kind of ability that was similar to paralysis, but more terrifying than paralysis. Not only could it interrupt soul skills, it also made him feel as if even the blood had stopped flowing. Although it didn't last long, the impact was significant.
Looking at the tall building that was still standing there in a daze, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you say you would buy me a drink before the competition? Let's find a place to chat."
Gao Dalou smiled bitterly, "I don't have any money. I said I'd treat you to a drink because I thought I could win. Now I've lost the prize money and I'm being hunted down..."
"Where's the money from the last round? If you want to deny it, just say so!" Huo Yuhao looked at him with a hint of doubt and scrutiny. Is this person really worth talking to? He remembered that apart from the rare metals, the prize money from the last round was at least tens of thousands of gold soul coins.
Besides, you are a level 5 soul guide, how can you be short of money? Generally speaking, after becoming a level 2 soul guide, even if the materials are inferior, the soul guides you make should be able to sell for a good price, and then you can use the proceeds from the sale of soul guides to buy new materials for practice, and repeat this cycle, and you will soon achieve financial freedom.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Gao Dalou's face. "Well... to be honest, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I'm reluctant to sell any soul guide I made! They are all the fruits of my hard work!"
This idiot is crazy! Huo Yuhao and Fu Rui sensed each other's thoughts at the same time.
It turns out that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person. This guy brought his poverty upon himself.
“Instead of selling it for money, are you going to keep it and put it in the coffin?” Fu Rui did a great job of speaking for Huo Yuhao. Humans are truly a wonderful race.
“Forget it, let’s talk first.” Huo Yuhao used mental detection to find a tavern that still had seats available.
The pub is small in size, but at this moment it is bustling with people. As soon as you enter the door, you are hit by a strong smell of noise.
“Just bear with it for now. There has been a Soul Master Competition going on both above and below the ground in Mingdu recently, so it’s inevitable that there will be a lot of people.” Huo Yuhao squeezed Fu Rui’s hand.
"Drinking requires a lot of people to create a good atmosphere!" Gao Dalou was very excited.
“Brother Gao, you’d better be worthy of us to accommodate you.” Huo Yuhao’s smile made Gao Dalou feel frightened.
This is not a place like the Golden Hall that is full of the darkness of the underground world. Sometimes using money to clear the way is more effective than using force. Soon, the three were taken to a booth in the corner. In fact, it was a seat separated by several wooden boards. There were two long sofas and a low table. Although it didn't look very good, it was at least much quieter than outside.
“Tell me, Brother Gao, what are your plans for the future?” After sitting down, Huo Yuhao took the initiative to bring up the topic.
Gao Dalou sighed, "What else can I do? But at least I am now a level 5 soul engineer, which is different from before. All I have to do is find a sect that is willing to take me in and see if I can get some rare metals for practice. Brother, I see that you are so good at making soul tools, at least at the level of a level 5 soul engineer, and your techniques are so orthodox and regular, you should be from a big sect, right? Why don't you introduce me to your sect? I don't ask for anything else, just provide me with enough materials, and then all the soul tools I make will belong to me, and I will work hard for you..."
"..."
Fu Rui and Huo Yuhao exchanged a glance. Huo Yuhao raised his hand to interrupt Gao Dalou’s endless self-introduction. “Excuse me, what did you just say?”
"I said I'll work for you."
"last sentence."
"All the soul guides I make belong to me!" Gao Dalou said confidently.
Huo Yuhao's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a seemingly polite smile, but that smile never reached his eyes. His fingers tapped the table lightly, with a steady rhythm, which made Gao Dasha feel a kind of invisible oppression.
“Is this the confidence of having only one person on the household registration card?” Huo Yuhao felt his fist harden. Even the former crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire did not dare to make such a request. For the sake of the carving knife, he originally planned to introduce Gao Dalou, the human knife holder, to the Dragon Pavilion, but from the communication just now, he found that this guy looked honest but was actually very cunning. Now he has lost interest in this self-taught soul instructor.
"What's wrong? Brother, how can you drink without company? I may not be good at other things, but I am definitely a first-class drinking buddy!" How could Gao Dalou miss such a good opportunity to get something for free? He even ignored Huo Yuhao's yin and yang towards him. He didn't know whether he was too thick-skinned or too insensitive.
“I suddenly feel that your suggestion just now is very good.” Huo Yuhao ignored him and only focused on talking to Fu Rui. “It’s the same if we capture him and bleed him.”
"Brother, I take back what I just said! How about this? I join your sect and only ask you to provide me with the materials for making soul guides. Then the soul guides I make can belong to you, but you must at least give me some money to buy wine, and it would be best if you can find me a wife, then I will follow you." Upon hearing this, Gao Dalou slid to his knees and lowered his own status to the lowest level.
“That’s right! It is said that one who knows the times will act... I will give you a 5% commission for every soul guide you make. We will provide the materials, and you only need to make it. But, when it comes to love, you have to work hard on your own. How can a level 5 soul guide not find a partner?” Huo Yuhao looked at Gao Dalou's appearance, but still couldn't say the word "hero".
Gao Dalou's eyes lit up, "Of course! Brother, look, can you introduce me to a girl who is as pretty as your girlfriend..."
“Brother Gao, when choosing a partner you can’t just look at the appearance of the person.” Huo Yuhao sighed. Is this guy addicted to taking advantage of others or is he really clueless?
"That's right, that's right! We have to look inside too, right?" Gao Dalou nodded repeatedly.
"No, I mean do you want to look in the mirror and see how you look?" Huo Yuhao almost crushed the wine glass. Find someone similar to Fu Rui? If the rain in the center of Mingdu turns into Wanlongyan, this guy will be the eternal sinner of the Sun Moon Empire!
