Su Yuntao sighed softly, with a hint of sadness in his voice.
Once, I fled the city in embarrassment, like a lost dog.
Now, I have to build my own foundation here with my own hands.
Xiao Lin patted his shoulder heavily, grinned, and showed his white teeth:
"Xiao Taozi, don't think so much! Today is different from the past! In the past, we were chased and beaten, but now, we are the ones who want to conquer the sky here Suotuo City!
Let those who once looked down on us have to look up and look at us!"
His words were full of arrogance and confidence. Five years of military service had already worn away the dandyism in him, and replaced him with the bravery of a veteran who had fought hundreds of battles.
Kachino, on the other hand, seemed much calmer. His sharp eyes swept over the crowds coming and going at the city gate, and he said in a deep voice:
"Let's go first into the city. Follow the boss's instructions and go to the south of the city to find a place first."
The three of them lowered their hat brims and followed the flow of people into the city smoothly.
Suotuo City is still prosperous, the streets are busy with traffic, and the sounds of hawking and shouting are endless.
Everything they were familiar with seemed to be separated by a thin veil, making them feel a little alienated.
Without staying too much in the city, we walked straight through the city and came to the relatively remote and backward area in the south of the city.
Most of the people here live inhabited by civilians. The houses are low and the roads are far less wide and smooth than those in the city center.
"The boss said, let's find a remote village in the south of the city and see where someone builds Academy in the village..."
Xiao Lin muttered as he walked, his face full of confusion:
"What the hell is this? Who would build Academy in a place where birds don't poop? Isn't this a flaw in the brain?"
Su Yuntao is also puzzled.
Soul Master Academy, no matter the level, it should be a symbol of honor and status. The location should be either in a prosperous area of the city or in a beautiful suburb. How can you go to a remote village?
Only Kachino, although equally puzzled, chose to unconditionally believe that all they had to do was execute.
"Stop talking nonsense and look for us separately."
Kachino ordered.
The three people immediately dispersed and began a carpet-like search in the area south of the city.
An hour later, when the three of them met again, they all had extremely strange expressions on their faces.
"I... I think I found it."
Xiao Lin pointed to a small village not far away hidden in sparse woods, his tone was a little weak.
"I saw it too."
Su Yuntao's mouth twitched.
Kachino didn't say anything, just took the lead and walked in that direction.
After walking through a dusty dirt road and bypassing several dilapidated houses, a building... let's call it "Academy" suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.
It was a courtyard consisting of several wooden houses and an open space. The courtyard walls were made of rough stones and mud, and were cracked in many places.
The most eye-catching thing is the door that looks like it will fall apart at any time.
Above the door, there is a crooked wooden plaque with three large characters scrawled in green paint -
Shrek!
"Hiss!"
The moment they saw these three words, Xiao Lin and Su Yuntao took a deep breath and felt a chill from the soles of their feet to the Tianling Gai!
Looking at each other, they both saw incredible horror in the other's eyes!
Boss... Boss actually got it right!
I had studied at Soto Intermediate Soul Master Academy for so long and traveled all over the streets of Soto City, but I had never heard of such an academy called "Shrek"!
What's more, it is built in such a remote village!
It's almost like a prophet!
"Boss... Boss... how on earth did he know?"
Su Yuntao's voice was trembling, and he looked in the direction Mu Rong Chen was leaving, his eyes filled with fanatical admiration.
Xiao Lin swallowed hard and muttered to himself:
"It's amazing... It's really amazing... Isn't the boss a god descending to earth?"
Kachino's pupils also shrank, and a turmoil arose in his heart.
Although the origin of the Academy is unclear, it can be seen from the reactions of Xiao Lin and Su Yuntao that the boss once again demonstrated his unpredictable ability to predict!
This feeling of strategizing and winning a thousand-mile victory reminds me of those marshals in the army who use their troops like gods!
No, it's even scarier than those marshals! The marshals conducted their deductions based on intelligence, but the boss seemed to be able to directly see the future!
"This is also... called Academy?"
Kachino looked at the tattered signboard in front of him, his furrowed brows could almost kill a fly.
The scene before him completely overturned his understanding of the word "Academy".
This is not so much Academy as it is a rural lumberyard on the verge of bankruptcy.
The dilapidated door seemed like it could be blown down by a gust of wind.
"Let's go, stop looking."
Kachino took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart:
"Go and complete the boss's mission!"
Since the boss asked us to build Academy opposite Shrek Academy, there must be a deep meaning!
The three of them immediately took action, asking around the village to find villagers willing to sell their land.
At first, the process was not smooth.
Most of the villagers here are simple and stubborn, with deep feelings for the land, not to mention three foreigners who seem to be difficult to mess with.
In the end, it was Xiao Lin, the former city lord's son, who played a role.
After much hard work and promising a lot of money, he finally found the village chief.
In a dim adobe house, the wrinkled old village chief looked at the three young people in front of him with squinted eyes.
"You want to buy land? Do you want such a big piece of land?"
The old village chief exhaled a puff of smoke and said slowly:
"That open space just opposite Shrek Academy? That's the best land in our village."
"Old man, please give me a price."
Kachino is concise and to the point and doesn't like beating around the bush.
The old village chief stretched out five skinny fingers.
"Five hundred Gold Soul Coin?"
Xiao Lin asked tentatively.
The old village chief shook his head, a shrewd light flashing in his cloudy eyes.
"Five thousand!"
"What?!"
Xiao Lin jumped up on the spot:
"Why don't you go and grab it! On that piece of ruined land, the weeds are taller than the people. How dare you ask for five thousand Gold Soul Coin?!"
Five thousand Gold Soul Coin is enough to buy a nice yard in Suotuo City!
The old village chief was calm and took another puff of cigarette:
"Whether you want to buy it or not. The feng shui of that place is good, so I can build a house for my grandson and find a wife."
Kachino's brows furrowed even deeper.
It was obvious that the old man was raising the price from the ground up.
"Give it to him."
Kachino said in a deep voice, took out a heavy money bag from Soul Tool and threw it on the table.
"Old card!"
Xiao Lin was anxious.
Kachino shook his head, his eyes signaling him not to say more.
The boss's task must be completed as soon as possible. Money is an external thing. What's more, the most lacking thing now is time.
