Chapter 91 The Vanishing Golden Light: Left Arm Bone
Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao easily obtained free VIP cards, while Ning Tian had no use for them at all; she simply accompanied Huo Yuhao and the others through the process.
Without demonstrating the ultimate ice power, Huo Yuhao, like Wang Dong, received a purple card with a limit of only 100,000.
Huo Yuhao curled his lips and put the VIP card into his soul tool. He was more interested in messing with Dai Huabin at this treasure appreciation event, and he could easily buy the whale glue worth several thousand gold soul coins himself.
The VIP card's credit limit was truly awkward. After browsing around for a while, I realized that the items I could buy were only moderately effective in improving my cultivation, even less useful than the snow lotus I'd smuggled from the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan.
This treasure appreciation event, held for the core disciples of the outer academy, was nothing more than bait laid out by Shrek Academy to lure them in. The 100,000 gold soul coins could indeed allow students who were still at the third or fourth ring to make a significant leap in their cultivation and strength in a short period of time. However, they would not be able to feel this rapid progress again for the next year, and would eagerly await the next treasure appreciation event.
The feeling of becoming stronger so easily can be addictive.
Want more? Join Shrek!
Hehe, Huo Yuhao had seen too many of these tricks in his previous life. It's just that the temptation has been replaced by a rapid increase in strength. If 100,000 gold soul coins can't bind a genius, what about one million or two million?
The genius gained more resources and grew rapidly, while Shrek Academy retained the genius—it was a win-win situation.
This treasure appreciation event invited most of the core disciples of the outer academy. In just a short while, Huo Yuhao met several familiar faces, including Bei Bei, the senior disciple of the Tang Sect.
Huo Yuhao greeted Bei Bei from afar, and under Bei Bei's ambiguous gaze, he braced himself and continued to bargain with Ning Tian. At the same time, he secretly activated his mental detection, multitasking to catch Xu Sanshi's ruthless pursuit of Jiang Nannan.
Wang Dong, who had no interest in business cooperation, completely ignored Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian's bargaining and instead enthusiastically followed Xu Sanshi's gossip.
Wang Dong looked at Jiang Nannan with some envy: "I think Brother Xu is pretty good. He's both devoted and persistent in relationships. I don't know what it is about him that makes Senior Jiang look down on him. You should learn from him."
As he spoke, Wang Dong didn't forget to subtly nudge Huo Yuhao's waist.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Dong indifferently, ignoring Wang Dong's little tricks, and bowed to Ning Tian in a very gentlemanly manner.
"Miss Ning Tian, then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
After a brief discussion, Jiubao Restaurant purchased Huo Yuhao's culinary knowledge from him for 100,000 gold soul coins. This knowledge basically covered most of the Chinese cuisine and popular street snacks that Huo Yuhao knew.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao will be able to enjoy a 3% share of the profits of Jiubao Restaurant every year for the next fifty years.
According to Ning Tian, the Jiubao Restaurant's annual profit is as high as ten million gold soul coins, but he didn't specify whether it was ten million or ninety million.
However, this is quite exaggerated, which means that Huo Yuhao could earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold soul coins every year for the next fifty years.
Such extravagance befits a chamber of commerce that has developed over ten thousand years in a single world.
For Jiubao Restaurant, spending just a little money eliminated a new product that could have shaken its dominant position and further expanded its advantages.
Even if you suffer a small loss in the short term, you can always make it back slowly in the future. Not to mention, it's not certain whether you'll actually make a profit or a loss.
Then he just wandered around the treasure appreciation fair aimlessly. When Huo Yuhao saw the whale glue, he casually took it, completely ignoring the questioning looks from Wang Dong and the others.
Strange... I've explored the entire treasure fair, but I still haven't seen the Golden Light Left Arm Bone?
Huo Yuhao secretly activated his mental detection to scan the entire treasure appreciation event venue and discovered that the soul bone worth nine million gold soul coins was indeed not present at the event.
Where did this strange butterfly effect come from again?
Huo Yuhao looked thoughtfully towards the place at the far west end where the assessment of credit limits was conducted.
According to the description in the original work, all the treasures that appear at the treasure appreciation event are under the control of Shrek Academy. In other words, it was because of certain influences that the Golden Radiance Soul Bone did not appear at this treasure appreciation event.
The reason that the golden spirit bone appeared in the original work was to prepare it for Wang Dong, but Shrek Academy was actually eyeing Huo Gua, who possessed the ultimate ice.
Now that Huo Yuhao has concealed the existence of the Ultimate Ice, Shrek Academy naturally has no need to spend such a huge price to bind Huo Yuhao, so it will not reveal it.
A soul bone containing a trace of the bloodline of the Light Dragon Clan—this soul bone is probably prepared for Beibei.
After all, the higher-ups at Shrek Academy knew that Bei Bei's martial soul contained the bloodline of the Holy Light Dragon. If they obtained this soul bone, it might be able to further activate the Holy Light Dragon martial soul. This was so that they could give it to Bei Bei at the right time.
However, Huo Gua's ultimate ice was too amazing in the original work, so the soul bone originally prepared for Bei Bei was given to Wang Dong through the treasure appreciation event, which also made Huo Gua owe Shrek Academy a huge favor.
Although Huo Yuhao was also short of money, he could still exchange some of his share of the profits for enough gold soul coins by discussing with Ning Tian. It can only be said that Wang Dong and the Golden Light were truly not meant to be.
Huo Yuhao stretched and looked at Shrek City outside with some eagerness.
Now that the treasure hunt storyline is complete, the next step is to face assassination attempts, right?
I don't know if, with my current strength, I can put up any resistance against Soul King or Soul Emperor level experts.
……
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong left Shrek City and walked side by side toward Shrek Academy.
Although Shrek Academy is located within Shrek City, it is not connected to Shrek City. In other words, Shrek Academy does not have a back gate connecting it to Shrek City.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong thought that to return to Shrek Academy from Shrek City, they would have to exit the city through the south or north gate and circle around to the school gate of Shrek Academy.
I wonder which brilliant mind came up with this design; it seems to be designed specifically to provide assassins with an opportunity to strike.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's mental detection revealed six burly men lurking in the bushes three hundred meters ahead. Through mental sharing, Wang Dong also saw these six lurking figures at the same time.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stopped in their tracks at the same time, as if they had sensed something. The next moment, they both turned around abruptly and rushed towards Shrek City.
Wang Dong's dazzling blue and gold wings unfurled in the night sky as the Goddess of Light Butterfly unfolded. Behind Huo Yuhao, a pair of level-three soul-guided thrusters deployed, and with his hands around Wang Dong's waist, the two of them used the thrusters to rush rapidly toward the Shrek City gate.
