100w Gold Soul Coins

"Soul Tools are truly a money-burning profession..." Chu Feng felt somewhat speechless.

However, the good news is that money-burning professions are inevitably highly profitable. He could start by crafting some low-level Soul Tools to sell, earning enough capital to purchase high-level materials later.

Much like medicinal pills, the barrier to entry for Soul Tools is high, but the profit margins are exorbitant; the net profit on a single Soul Tool exceeds 70%, sometimes even more.

If he were to dedicate himself fully to the Soul Tool industry, Chu Feng was confident he could earn 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins within a month.

As for collaborating with Shrek Academy, Chu Feng had absolutely no interest.

While Shrek students are powerful, their focus is primarily on Martial Souls. In the field of Soul Tools, Shrek Academy's students are not even as good as the rogue Soul Engineers outside; they are complete trash.

With such a powerful inheritance, Chu Feng only needed enough money to get started, and by securing follow-up investments, he was confident he could build the strongest Soul Engineer academy on the entire continent himself!

As for the Soul Engineer inheritance, if he were to encounter students with talent in the Soul Tool department, Chu Feng naturally wouldn't hoard it. After all, his primary focus remained on Martial Souls; Soul Tools were merely a pleasant surprise. He could clearly distinguish between his "biological child" and his "adopted child."

The mundane days passed one by one. Chu Feng diligently attended classes and cultivated, essentially keeping out of trouble.

However, as Chu Feng became more famous, his Hamburger sales exploded, far exceeding supply. Even after Chu Feng raised the price of a single Hamburger to 10 Gold Soul Coins, the number of people pre-ordering remained far beyond his imagination.

Of course, there were more people cursing him for being heartless... but Chu Feng couldn't care less.

As for Huo Yuhao, he was naturally cultivating quietly. After all, Chu Feng had compensated him with 50 Gold Soul Coins, which was enough for half a year of living expenses. Coupled with the pressure Zhou Yi placed on him, Huo Yuhao was now cultivating 25 hours a day and had no time to come out and sell grilled fish...

On a day off.

Chu Feng was in the middle of cultivation when the dormitory door was pushed open with a bang.

"Chu Feng, Chu Feng! Good news, good news!" Wang Dong burst in from outside, full of excitement.

"What's the matter, why so happy?" Chu Feng slowly opened his eyes, retracted the icy aura from his body, and asked indifferently.

"Didn't you ask me to sell the 'Hamburger' recipe? Several large merchant guilds came knocking. They had a bit of a scuffle, and in the end, they offered an astronomical price!"

"Guess what their final offer was?"

Wang Dong gestured wildly as he spoke, but in the end, he held back the punchline, asking with a mischievous smile.

"Stop talking nonsense, just say it." Chu Feng said, speechless.

"Why are you like this? So boring..."

Wang Dong's little mouth pouted instantly, but he eventually said, "In the end, the Dou Ling Trading Firm bought your recipe for 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins and promised you a 5% profit share every month."

"Dou Ling Trading Firm, that should belong to the Heaven Spirit Empire royal family, right?" Chu Feng raised an eyebrow. He had guessed his recipe might be popular, but he hadn't expected the Dou Ling Trading Firm to be so tempted that they not only paid 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins but also added a profit share.

The Gold Soul Coins were actually secondary; the profit share was the real prize. And at 5%, as long as the Hamburger could be promoted, even a 5% cut could mean an income of hundreds of thousands of gold coins a month.

"Hehe, that's right!"

"You might not know how popular your Hamburger is now. I gave the Hamburger samples you provided to the heads of those merchant guilds, and they were all drooling with envy!"

Wang Dong chuckled, clearly in a very good mood.

Then, Wang Dong took out a storage-type Soul Tool ring and handed it to Chu Feng with some reluctance, saying, "The 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins are all here. This storage Soul Tool was a gift from them; it has one cubic meter of space and is worth at least 50,000 Gold Soul Coins."

"What? You want a cut too?"

Chu Feng noticed Wang Dong's reluctance and asked with a faint smile, feeling a bit curious.

Isn't this guy Wang Dong from the Clear Sky Sect? Would he be short on money?

"If you want the horse to run, you have to provide some grass..." Wang Dong turned his head slightly, acting a bit coy.

When he was a child in the Clear Sky Sect, he only had to ask for whatever he wanted; he had no concept of Gold Soul Coins. When he left the Clear Sky Sect, he only brought one or two thousand Gold Soul Coins, thinking it would be enough to live lavishly for a while. But it wasn't until he went to Shrek City to run errands for Chu Feng that he realized things outside were ridiculously expensive.

Comparisons are odious; Chu Feng could get 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins just by selling a recipe, while he had to write home to ask for money whenever he wanted something good. Thinking about it made him feel like a loser...

Anyway, Chu Feng was so rich now, and he had done so many things for Chu Feng, all using his own money. Even if Chu Feng didn't compensate him, he should at least show some appreciation...

"Fine, then take it all." Chu Feng didn't say anything else upon hearing this and shoved the entire storage ring to Wang Dong.

"Ah... what does this mean..." Wang Dong was completely stunned, unable to react for a moment.

"I have you to buy whatever I need anyway, what would I do with so many Gold Soul Coins?" Chu Feng explained, appearing as if he truly didn't care.

"Aren't you afraid I'll... keep it all for myself?" The sudden trust caught Wang Dong off guard, and a faint blush inexplicably appeared on his small face.

"Do you dare?"

Chu Feng glanced at Wang Dong and gave a disdainful smile.

"Ahhh!! Chu Feng, you jerk!!" Wang Dong gritted his teeth and turned to leave, his sense of being moved vanishing instantly.

Jerk Chu Feng, only knows how to bully me!! I'll spend all this money, and then we'll see how you cry! Wang Dong thought viciously to himself.

"Come back."

Chu Feng called out to stop Wang Dong.

"What else do you want!"

Wang Dong turned his head, glaring at Chu Feng with resentment.

"Since we have money now, go buy these." Chu Feng handed over a list, his tone remaining flat, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"What is this..." Wang Dong pouted and curiously picked it up to look. He was stunned on the spot. It was filled with a dense list of materials, some of which he hadn't even heard of, but he knew at a glance they were very expensive. Since he was also taking basic courses in Soul Tool theory, he naturally knew these were all materials for crafting Soul Tools.

"You, you, you... when did you secretly become a Soul Engineer behind my back?!" Wang Dong widened her eyes, finding it hard to believe.

It was one thing for Chu Feng to be powerful, but to actually be a Soul Engineer as well! It was simply absurd!

Chu Feng did nothing but cultivate and attend classes every day; Wang Dong had seen it with his own eyes. He hadn't even attended a single Soul Engineer course, so how could he possibly be one?!

"Enough nonsense, just go. Why ask so many questions?" Chu Feng glared at her.

How was he supposed to explain this? Should he say he had an epiphany overnight and became the continent's number one theoretical Soul Engineer?

Not even a dog would believe that.

"Oh... fine, I'm going. Why be so fierce?" Wang Dong pouted, scurrying out of the dormitory. However, her curiosity about Chu Feng was piqued once again, leaving her itching to know what kind of background this guy had. He was so mysterious—not only was he powerful, but he was even involved with Soul Tools...

Seeing Wang Dong leave, Chu Feng fell into deep thought.

Most of the materials he purchased this time were for engraving core arrays. After all, to craft a Soul Tool, one needed professional mechanical equipment—things like presses, forging hammers, and reinforced molds. Such devices were not cheap, starting at several million Gold Soul Coins, and only large academies possessed them.

However, the most important part of a Soul Tool was the core array, which accounted for 90% of the total cost, with the remaining 10% being the cost of the shell.

He would engrave the core arrays himself, and for the shells, he could simply draw up a design and find a factory to manufacture them; there was no need to make them himself.

As long as one mastered the technology, anything one did would be a highly profitable business.

Don't look at the 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins from the "Hamburger" recipe as a large sum; once he could mass-produce Soul Tools, he would essentially become a money-printing machine, earning 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins in less than a month.

Moreover, his goals went far beyond that. There would be plenty of places to spend money in the future, and 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins might not even be enough to make a splash.
