In the restaurant, Huo Yuhao spent a fortune ordering a table full of expensive dishes, including rare delicacies like century-old whale glue and century-old earth dragon tendons, which almost dazzled Roman. Roman,
a poor wretch, had never seen anything like this before. He even hesitated for a long time before ordering a strawberry cake, so he immediately picked up his chopsticks and started showing off the food. He wasn't going to be polite to Huo Yuhao at all.
Looking at the gorgeous and abundant dishes in front of him, Huo Yuhao vaguely recalled the days when he had just escaped from the White Tiger Duke's mansion.
Back then, when he was gathering information in restaurants, he could only afford to order clear soup noodles. He couldn't afford any meat, and he only had a few silver soul coins in his pocket.
Now, he controlled the entire Magic Network, and Dream Coins were gradually being integrated into the original currency system of the Douluo Continent.
According to the official purchase price of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, one Dream Coin could be exchanged for ten gold soul coins.
Following the example set by the higher-ups, the common people also determined the commodity value of one Dream Coin according to this ratio.
In the future, Huo Yuhao planned to develop a mobile payment system to further promote the development of Dream Coins.
In the end, the biggest beneficiary of the Dream Coin system remains Huo Yuhao, the holder of the highest interpretation rights to the underlying protocol of the Magic Network.
"So, after wandering around the Heavenly Dou Plain for a month, what new insights have you gained about this world?"
Huo Yuhao picked up a braised century-old earth dragon tendon and chewed it. This rare ingredient could sell for ten gold soul coins per piece, and to prepare such an ingredient, a chef would need at least the strength of a Soul Venerable.
Roman took a sip of juice, leaned back in his chair, and said to Huo Yuhao,
"A very peculiar world."
"It's completely different from the social structure I remember."
"Soul Masters don't have the secretive nature of magicians; they naturally possess talents surpassing ordinary people and control unimaginable productive capabilities."
"That's not unusual; it's quite normal. It's strange that the extraordinary world isn't like this."
"But I don't quite understand the way nobles exist here?"
"In this extraordinary world, theoretically, only the strong can become nobles."
"But here, some nobles are pitifully weak, yet they still maintain high status."
Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head, saying,
"The top nobles still conform to the law of strength; you just haven't seen it yet."
"Dukes of this era were mostly Soul Douluo, and emperors were mostly Title Douluo."
"As for the lower classes? It's probably a rule formed over ten thousand years."
Roman didn't dwell on this topic; he wasn't interested in the nobility and instead chatted with Huo Yuhao about next year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.
"I heard the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament is next year, I really want to go see it."
"Um, boss? Are you looking at me?"
Huo Yuhao looked at Roman with annoyance, this guy pushing his luck.
"Hey, hey, hey."
"There's still a year left, and you're already thinking about taking a vacation?"
Roman tapped his temple, smiled sheepishly, and said,
"Hehe, isn't Bai E and the others going to participate in the future?"
"After these days of training, they're practically my juniors, and as the doctor from the orphanage, I should at least go and cheer them on."
This statement earned him an eye roll from Huo Yuhao.
"Alright, Bai'e and the others haven't joined Shrek Academy yet."
"Work hard this year, and you'll get a vacation next year."
"Take Amon and the others over to visit then."
"And make sure Bai'e and the others are safe."
"I don't trust those referees and their cronies."
"Relying on those guys alone, who knows what might go wrong."
Roman nodded quickly.
"Definitely! Definitely!"
"If even one person is missing, I'll kill myself on the spot!"
...
Just as Huo Yuhao and Roman were talking, Feng Jin, pulling Xia Die along, arrived at the south gate of Xilu City.
"Uncle Li, long time no see!"
Feng Jin greeted the guard at the south gate of Xilu City warmly.
The guard, named Uncle Li, smiled and waved in response.
"Yo, Little Feng Jin?"
"Back in Xilu City?"
"Many people missed you after you left. Those guys who are obsessed with fighting spirits are counting on you to heal their wounds."
"Sigh, I told them long ago that fighting every day will cause a lot of hidden injuries, but they just wouldn't listen."
Feng Jin pouted, a little annoyed.
Uncle Li returned to his post and said:
"That's how Soul Masters are."
"But recently, the Soul Arena has seen a lot fewer people; everyone prefers watching live streams on the Magic Network."
"I even saw someone perform being boiled in oil the other day."
"Unfortunately, there's an anti-addiction mechanism for ordinary people and children under fifteen; they can only play for two hours."
Afterward, Feng Jin led Xia Die out of the city gate and waited under a large tree nearby.
Several guards brought out some ice water from their tents. Huo Yuhao had arranged for the Xilu City garrison to have a Soul Guidance refrigerated container so they could drink some ice water to cool off.
These guards mainly wanted to curry favor with Feng Jin and Xia Die; everyone in Xilu City knew the name "The Dim Light Physician."
In this world, befriending healing Soul Masters was common sense; who could guarantee they wouldn't get injured or sick?
Moreover, the enthusiastic master especially liked Feng Jin and Bai E and the other children; this was no secret in Xilu City.
Soon, a white figure appeared faintly on the official road at the south gate of Xilu City.
The scorching and distorted air did not obstruct Feng Jin and Xia Die's vision; both of them were Soul Masters.
After a month of travel, Feng Jin's cultivation level increased by one level, and she is now at level twenty-three in soul power.
Feng Jin immediately recognized the other person by their hair color as her friend "Gu Yue" from the magic network,
since the other person used her own face as their avatar.
"Yue Bao! Over here! Over here!!"
The pink twin tails swayed with their owner's movements, standing out brightly in the summer sunlight.
The white figure paused slightly, then quickened their pace and arrived quickly.
They were fast, arriving in front of Feng Jin and Xia Die in no time.
"Hello, I am 'Gu Yue'."
"You can also call me by my real name, Gu Yue Na."
Gu Yue Na, naive and inexperienced, revealed her real name right away, causing Huo Yuhao to shake his head.
Fortunately, Feng Jin and the others weren't malicious.
"Hello! I am 'Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse,' my real name is Feng Jin!"
"Hello, I am 'Golden Chef,' my real name is Xia Die."
Xia Die slightly lifted her skirt and bowed to Gu Yue Na.
Feng Jin carefully examined Gu Yuena's clothing, then focused her gaze on her bare feet, her expression grave.
Gu Yuena was very uncomfortable with this gaze; no spirit beast in the Star Dou Great Forest dared to look at her like that.
"What's wrong?"
Feng Jin asked seriously,
"Yuebao, why aren't you wearing shoes?"
"It's so hot in the summer, it's not good for your health!"
"Come on, I'll take you to buy a pair of shoes, and then I'll take you to experience the delicious food of Xilu City!"
Gu Yuena had just breathed a sigh of relief when Feng Jin pulled her to the city gate registration office. The guard checked her spirit power aura and level, and after confirming that she wasn't an evil spirit master, he gave Gu Yuena an identity tag and let her in.
In the guard's detection, Gu Yuena was a level 30 Spirit Master, with a peaceful aura, definitely not an evil spirit master.
And that identity tag was a spirit tool with an aura detection function; if the other party emitted the aura of an evil spirit master, the identity tag would immediately send a signal to the law enforcement department.
After Gu Yuena entered Xilu City, Huo Yuhao perceived that a walking black hole had suddenly appeared in the entire city, blocking any mental energy that approached.
It was like aliens watching Ultraman's human form on the Ultraman set next door.
However, the other party seemed harmless, so he temporarily left it to Feng Jin to handle.
If the other party had been malicious, Huo Yuhao would have shouted without hesitation, "You're going to get me!"
and taken his family fortune, disciples, and Bai E to the far north overnight. "
Even the Silver Dragon King has personally come to fight me, so what can I say? I'll just give you the Heavenly Dou Plain."
He's guaranteed to kill the Silver Dragon King now!
At this moment, Feng Jin was completely unaware that the silver-haired woman whose wrist she was holding was the strongest person in the entire Douluo Continent.
She and Xia Die were excitedly going to change Gu Yuena's clothes.
"Don't worry! Yuebao, I'll definitely dress you up beautifully!"
Gu Yuena felt the other party's weak strength, but she didn't break free, and just followed her as they jogged down the street.
Following behind like a little maid, Xia Die felt the warmth of Feng Jin's hand, and Gu Yuena smiled slightly.
The other woman's expression was completely different from the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The humans around her didn't seem to be all negative emotions as Di Tian had described.
In Di Tian's words, every human was a top-tier Sun Xiaochuan, and Tang San was considered a Great Sage among them.
Gu Yuena's spiritual power could sense the emotions of the passersby, which differed from what Di Tian had said.
"Humans are truly interesting!"
