Wei Lin: I'll Open Stores Across the Entire Douluo Continent

The scene promptly turned into Tang San dodging and Noelle chasing.

"Your little sister's pretty smart."

Shi'er scratched his head sheepishly.

"Noelle's always had a good head on her shoulders."

Yunxiao clicked her tongue in amazement as she watched.

Although Tang San looked to have the upper hand, he was still using Soul Skills the whole time, consuming far more stamina than Noelle.

And Noelle? She only had to pinpoint his position, rush over, and punch him.

She used far less stamina than Tang San. What was more, thanks to Taotie, Tang San's feeble poison was even restoring her mana and health. Though she looked battered and covered in blood, there wasn't a single wound on her body.

"Lunatic! You're a lunatic!"

Tang San was completely at a loss. She ignored every one of his attacks, determined to punch him even if she got hurt.

His hands were trembling. He had used up too much Soul Power, stamina, and mental strength, and he could barely keep going.

He was even ready to concede, but Noelle wasn't about to give him the chance.

He'd led her around like a dog for so long, and now he wanted to concede? As if things could be that easy.

She caught him in a moment of weakness, closed in, and punched him right in the face.

"Holy shit! That punch even whistled through the air."

Tang San seemed to see his mother coming to fetch him. He went spinning through the air and promptly fell into an excellent sleep.

"That felt good! So you're the one called Tang San, huh? Ptooey! You were as slippery as a loach, but I could make countless mistakes, while you could only make one."

Noelle gave a little snort, looking like a proud little peacock.

Yunxiao stared at Shi'er in surprise, as if asking how he'd led his sister astray.

Shi'er really wanted to say he hadn't taught her that, but when he saw Noelle lightly clenching her fist, he decided to take the blame for his sister's reputation.

It absolutely, positively wasn't because she was threatening him.

"Little San! Are you okay?"

With Tang San's defeat, the Blue Silver Grass around Xiao Wu released her.

She had wanted to step in and help as soon as Tang San began to fall behind.

But the moment she took a step, a huge mass of Blue Silver Grass had wrapped around her and strung her up in a tortoiseshell tie. To keep her quiet, a thicker strand of Blue Silver Grass had even been stuffed into her mouth.

The Blue Silver Grass had been unexpectedly tough and flexible, and she couldn't bite through it. So she could only whimper as she watched Little San get punched to sleep.

"We're all classmates! Did you have to hit him so hard?"

Seeing the fist mark on Tang San's face, Xiao Wu felt a pang of distress.

Yunxiao walked up to Xiao Wu, who began hissing at her.

"Little rabbit, you need to understand that Tang San was the one who provoked me first. And instead of blaming me, you'd be better off thinking about yourself."

Xiao Wu's pupils widened.

Yunxiao leaned closer to her ear.

"The human world isn't a place you should have come to."

Xiao Wu backed away, staring at Yunxiao in terror.

"You probably haven't been at the academy long, have you? There's a Titled Douluo named Tang Hao who also has a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. Where do you suppose he got it?"

Yunxiao walked straight past Xiao Wu.

"Tang San, Tang Hao. Remember those two names~"

Xiao Wu felt cold all over. Looking at Tang San in her arms, she suddenly didn't know what to do.

Tang San... Tang Hao...

"Th-that couldn't be, could it...?"

Xiao Wu tried to comfort herself.

At present, Xiao Wu and Tang San weren't that close yet, making it the perfect time to plant a seed of doubt. As for whether it would eventually be affected by the underlying code of the Continent of Love, don't make your Aha laugh.

As if the divine power of Elation could be contaminated so easily.

After leaving Nuoding Academy, Yunxiao turned on the navigation app.

"Defective Map at your service. Destination: Tianshu Department Store."

Noelle glanced curiously at the phone Yunxiao had taken out, struggling to keep herself from asking about it.

"That was quick. He's already opened a department store."

For convenience, Wei Lin had decided to open Tianshu Department Stores across the entire world.

Why had he made that decision? Because he had discovered a bug.

If he bought a piece of land somewhere on the Douluo Continent, that land would be designated as his territory.

And since it was his territory, there was nothing wrong with him assigning some people to it, right?

The NPCs had restrictions, but they faced none at all on Wei Lin's territory.

So he figured he could buy a piece of land, build a department store, and then assign some NPC attendants to maintain order. That way, he could extend his territory over here.

But there was another problem: if he used money, he had to buy the land outright for it to count.

Or rather... there had to be a "contract" for it to be recognized.

As for why he hadn't discovered it before, wasn't that obvious? He hadn't had any Gold Soul Coins before.

As for why he had them now, first, a "wealthy merchant" had just thoughtfully offered up all his property and land deeds.

Second, all of Skywater City had gone all in. Wei Lin was rather impressed by City Lord Shui Wuyue's boldness, so he had opened a department store there too.

It wasn't tall, just nine stories.

It covered a fairly large area, though-equivalent to a quarter of Skywater City.

The first floor sold basic goods, things like daily necessities, which could be purchased with Gold Soul Coins. The eight floors above all required Credit Points.

Space on the first floor could also be rented to others to buy and sell goods. If tourists came to have a look, they could buy things too, with Credit Points, of course.

To the good folks of Skywater City, Credit Points were much better than Gold Soul Coins.

What did you call this? Developing tourism?

Watching the Credit Points trickle in, City Lord Shui Wuyue's eyes had turned red, even though there weren't many. She had practically wanted to become a suggestive-content blogger and rake in Credit Points. If no one had stopped her, she would already have started shaking it.

Honestly, City Lord Shui Wuyue had never expected Wei Lin to agree to trade with Skywater City. She had been so moved that she had wanted to grab her sister, wash her up, and send her over on the spot.

"Sure enough, commerce is the easiest thing to assimilate people."

Both sides felt they had profited. A win-win?

"We're here."

Yunxiao arrived at a tall building on the edge of Nuoding City. Though it didn't cover as much ground as the one in Skywater City, it still had six stories.

The nearly modern building looked utterly out of place in this era.

"Young... young master, are we really going in there?"

Shi'er and his sister looked at their clothes, then at the building, feeling timid.

It couldn't be helped. The whole art style was different-how could they not feel intimidated?

"Learn more, look more, and talk less. Understand?"

"Understood." ×2

Shi'er and his sister nodded their little heads in unison, secretly cheering themselves on and resolving not to embarrass their young master.
