A New Way to Make Money (New Book—Please Bookmark and Recommend)
As for Shrek City's high prices—heh, Huo Yuhao was no longer the little simp he used to be.
As long as he sold the White Tiger Dagger he carried with him, why would he need to worry about money?
Don't forget, when Huo Gua fought the ten-year Wind Baboon in the original novel, the White Tiger Dagger not only absorbed the Spirit Skill it spat out, but could even automatically protect its owner and kill the Wind Baboon in return!
Back then, Huo Gua wasn't even a Soul Master!
In other words, this White Tiger Dagger was a Soul Tool that could be used by a Soul Scholar to fight above their level. It was at least a Level Two Soul Tool, and very likely a Level Three or even Level Four one!
If he took it to an Auction, he could probably sell it for twenty or thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins without much effort!
Seeing that Huo Yuhao insisted on living alone, the teacher in charge of registration helplessly shook her head and muttered, "Are students' families so well-off these days, or are the Academy's dormitories really that bad? Why does no one want to stay in the dorms?"
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. There are others like me?
"Teacher, besides me, are there other people who don't live in the dorms?" Huo Yuhao asked.
As she put away the dormitory key, the registration teacher replied, "Yes. Earlier, there was a male student named Wang Dong who said he didn't want to stay in the dorms either. He said he was a clean freak and didn't like living with others. Tsk, tsk. Come to think of it, that kid was quite good-looking."
Huo Yuhao froze.
Wang Dong?
Isn't that Tang Buddha's little princess?
Could this be the legendary Butterfly Effect?
Because of my arrival, other things have changed as well?
Lost in thought, Huo Yuhao took his school uniform and headed outside.
"Little Ya Jie, you've lived in Shrek for so long, so you should know Shrek City pretty well, right? Do you know where I can find a one-bedroom apartment near the city gates?"
Tang Ya giggled. "Of course I do! Come on, I'll take you there now."
"Okay!"
With that, the two left Shrek Academy through the East Gate and headed toward Shrek City's South Gate.
Although Shrek Academy was also located within Shrek City, it was an independent area.
According to the official explanation, there was no internal passage connecting Shrek Academy and Shrek City.
Of course, Huo Yuhao didn't believe that bullshit at all.
In his view, the so-called "no connection" simply meant that one's status wasn't high enough to use it.
Take Lin Huiqun from the Sea God Pavilion, the one in charge of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion.
Huo Yuhao refused to believe that, given her status, she still had to leave through the East Gate and circle around into Shrek City whenever she went to work at the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, just like the other students!
What person in power would be that diligent? People like that were precious enough to complain for three days if they had to walk two extra steps!
Tang Ya brought Huo Yuhao into Shrek City and rented a one-bedroom apartment near the South Gate.
Then, Huo Yuhao borrowed some money from Tang Ya to buy the necessities of daily life.
By the time Huo Yuhao had finished preparing all the essential supplies, it was already past six in the evening.
The two grabbed something to eat in Shrek City. Huo Yuhao looked at Tang Ya and asked, "Little Ya, I heard Shrek City has a Gathering Treasure Pavilion where people can buy and sell things?"
Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise, not expecting him to know about the Gathering Treasure Pavilion.
"Yes. The Gathering Treasure Pavilion is also an Academy property, and many things used by the Academy are purchased through it. Shrek students even get discounts when buying or selling things there."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. He had known that already.
"Yuhao, do you want to buy something?" Tang Ya asked curiously.
Huo Yuhao shook his head. "No, I want to sell something."
As he spoke, he removed the White Tiger Dagger from his waist and handed it to Tang Ya. "This thing."
Tang Ya took the White Tiger Dagger and examined it in surprise. "This seems to be a Level Four close-combat Soul Tool?"
Huo Yuhao's gaze flickered, and he was somewhat startled.
Oh, it really is Level Four—and it's a Level Four Soul Tool that a Soul Scholar can use and that can automatically protect its owner!
Then this thing must be worth quite a bit!
Looks like I won't have to be some miserable fish seller. I'm becoming rich right from the start!
"This really is worth a lot of money. Yuhao, are you sure you want to sell it?" Tang Ya confirmed once more.
Huo Yuhao nodded indifferently.
He wasn't its original owner. There was no need for him to stare at the thing every day and reminisce. He might as well sell it for resources he could use now.
Tang Ya giggled. "In that case, I happen to know someone. She'll be hosting an Auction at the Gathering Treasure Pavilion tonight. If you put this Level Four Soul Tool up for auction, you might get more for it than if you sell it directly."
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered.
An auction? That's a good idea.
"No problem. Then after we finish eating, let's go find your friend."
"Okay," Tang Ya answered brightly.
After dinner, Tang Ya led Huo Yuhao straight to the Gathering Treasure Pavilion.
As the sun set, Shrek City became brightly lit everywhere, bustling with activity despite the night.
Huo Yuhao looked up at the building before him, a hint of interest flashing through his eyes.
Before him stood an enormous four-story building over twenty meters tall. It covered a considerable area, and its decoration was extravagantly luxurious, like a giant treasure bowl.
This was the Gathering Treasure Pavilion.
In front of the brilliantly lit entrance stood two rows of young women in short white skirts.
They all appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen. Their faces were lovely, their smiles sweet, their figures graceful, and their snow-white legs were enough to whet anyone's appetite.
It had to be said that the Gathering Treasure Pavilion's managers had aesthetic tastes much like those from the short-video era of Huo Yuhao's previous life: pale, young, and skinny.
Seeing Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya approach, one of the young women stepped forward with a sweet smile. "Esteemed guests, are you here to attend tonight's Auction?"
Tang Ya nodded. "Yes. Also, we have an item we'd like to put up for auction tonight. Could you please help me find Auctioneer Jiang Nannan?"
Jiang Nannan?
Huo Yuhao looked at Tang Ya in surprise. He had never expected Tang Ya's friend to be the bunny-girl classmate Xu Sanshi had dreamed of possessing!
The number one beauty of Shrek Academy's Outer Academy was actually working part-time as an auctioneer at the Gathering Treasure Pavilion?
But on second thought, Huo Yuhao found this development perfectly damn reasonable!
According to the original novel, Jiang Nannan's family had never been well-off, so she had always cared deeply about money.
When she bought Huo Gua's grilled fish back then, she had even carefully calculated the fish's cost and selling price.
And since the Gathering Treasure Pavilion was an Academy property, it was hardly strange for her to work there while studying!
