Chapter 185 The Star Core Hunter ran out of money, so he sent his companion in to collect it.
"Lady Aglaia is so cute!"
"Awooooooo!!"
"That haughty little face, that soft hum when he says 'I can't,' it's just so adorable!"
"People from outer space have cell phones that can record images, and Onpharos has a similar stone tablet, so why don't we have one in Douluo Continent?"
"I really want to record all the images and sounds on the sky and preserve them forever!"
"Ahhh! I can't take it anymore! Once these scenes are over, will they never happen again?"
"I don't want this to happen...no..."
"I want to hear Lady Aglaia's tsundere tone a few more times!"
The people of Douluo Continent gathered under the sky, their eyes filled with fascination and their faces rapt attention, their hearts filled with love and admiration for Aglaia.
But the stronger this affection becomes, the heavier the sense of loss and regret in their hearts becomes, making it hard to breathe.
Given the current technological limitations of the Douluo Continent, there is simply no object capable of preserving the images and sounds from the sky.
Even if one were to seek out writers and poets to record everything in a book, it would be utterly wishful thinking.
This world is one where martial spirit reigns supreme and force comes first; culture and education have long been forgotten.
The vast majority of ordinary people don't even know the most basic characters, let alone write.
Even those Soul Masters who have the opportunity to study at the academy are obsessed with cultivation and fighting all day long, arrogant and looking down on others.
Many people are unwilling to learn even the basics of soul beast knowledge and continental history, so how can we expect them to record every detail of the sky?
Upon hearing this, the people of mainland China immediately erupted in groans and sighs.
Frustration and despair spread like a black plague, engulfing the entire continent.
Everyone was complaining frantically, saying that the technology in Douluo Continent was too backward and not worth mentioning.
Just when everyone was in despair, someone suddenly noticed the ancient soul tools that were circulating in the world.
Some of these soul tools can be used for attacking and defending against enemies, some can amplify soul power, and others have all sorts of incredible special abilities.
More importantly, they are made of precision metal casting, with an intricate and complex structure that is remarkably similar to the machinery of the outer world.
Unfortunately, the techniques and core records for creating soul tools on the Douluo Continent have long been lost and disappeared over time.
Some scholars have even boldly suspected that these soul tools are not native products of the Douluo Continent at all, but rather strange objects that fell from outer space.
The problem was brought to the forefront, and forces quickly began to address it.
The first to step forward was the Spirit Hall, which had been completely revitalized under Qian Renxue's leadership.
The Spirit Hall of today has long since shed its outdated structure and broadened its horizons.
While they delved into the lost indigenous civilization of Douluo Continent, they also devoted themselves to studying the knowledge and rules of the outer world.
When the public repeatedly mentioned and increasingly voiced their demand for soul guides and image recording devices, the Spirit Hall immediately listed them as the highest priority core research direction.
Large quantities of gold, rare metals, and soul beast materials poured down, and countless craftsmen and scholars were summoned, officially embarking on the path of research into soul guide technology.
...
"Waaaaah... Why hasn't the rich woman come looking for me yet...?"
On the vast, boundless sea, the waves surged and shimmered.
The little gray fur perched on Ika's head, gazing at the playful and adorable Aglaia in the sky. Its little mouth unconsciously puffed out into a round face, looking utterly aggrieved.
She had long wanted to snuggle into the arms of that wealthy woman who was as gentle as a mother and had a lot of money.
"Aglaia is probably playing with little Saifei right now."
"Hey buddy, is there anything you want to play? I can make sure you do everything♪~"
Seeing the little gray-haired girl with droopy eyelids and a sullen expression, Xi Lian quickly stepped forward to comfort her gently, and even winked at her playfully, her tone containing a subtle hint.
"Rich woman?"
Firefly's ears twitched, instantly catching the key word, and she immediately leaned forward and spoke earnestly:
"Star Baby, although we Star Core Hunters aren't exactly super wealthy, every time we go on a mission, Kafka gives me her overdraft card so we can spend it as we see fit…"
"Hmm... If you feel you don't have enough money, we can capture Silver Wolf and send him to the company to collect the bounty. If that's still not enough, we can send A-Ren, Kafka, or even me to the company to collect the bounty."
"However, Xingbao, don't worry about us. We can escape on our own."
"That's true, you'll never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life..."
Looking at Firefly's serious expression, Little Gray knew in his heart that she was definitely not joking.
Silver Wolf rolled his eyes, A-Ren remained expressionless, and Kafka simply chuckled without saying a word, offering no rebuttal.
Clearly, this kind of mutual "monetization" and money-making is something this group of people have long been accustomed to.
Little Gray even secretly suspected that these Star Core Hunters often "betrayed" each other like this.
Tang San and the others, who were at the back of the group, heard this shocking conversation. Their pupils suddenly contracted, and they were deeply shocked and unable to calm down for a long time.
They had long known from various sources that the Star Core Hunter was a notorious top-ranking wanted criminal in the universe.
The group in front of us is terrifyingly powerful, and with Eriol's ability to foresee the future, each of them must have an astronomical bounty.
Earning money by capturing fellow members is an outrageous and astonishing way to make money.
Tang San couldn't help but secretly calculate in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more tempted he became.
If we could capture all these Star Core Hunters and exchange the bounty for them, how much rare metal and poison could we get to refine hidden weapons?
How terrifying could his hidden weapon skills be enhanced to?
But this is just wishful thinking.
Now, his strength is weak, and he cannot even defeat any one of his opponents.
Even the seemingly harmless, soft, and adorable little black cat Elio knew in his heart that he was no match for him.
Especially during their journey across the sea, Little Ika swam freely in the water, and with a single open mouth, several ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts were swallowed whole.
This scene filled Tang San with even greater fear, and a chill ran straight to the top of his head.
The powerful soul beasts that strike fear into the hearts of top soul masters in the Douluo Continent are nothing more than food to fill their stomachs and playthings to be played with at will in the eyes of those from beyond the heavens.
His desire to seek revenge on Little Gray Hair and wash away the humiliation of the past was an incredibly difficult task.
Tang San's gaze involuntarily turned to the mysterious sky above his head once again.
In his view, his only way out was this omnipotent sky.
He secretly hoped that the heavens would eventually reward him with even greater power, or even directly elevate him to the status of a star god in the eyes of the extraterrestrials.
Or perhaps, the heavens will unleash divine punishment to settle accounts for the countless sins committed by Little Gray Hair and others in the universe?
He desperately wanted revenge...
