Douluo: Selling Ning Rongrong Task Card, She Dropped Out of School

"My dear sister, are you silly?"

Ning Rongrong flashed a smile and teased.

Zhu Zhuqing retorted on the spot, "Silly? I'm not silly at all! Tell me quickly, why can't I use it now?"

Ning Rongrong stopped playing coy and replied earnestly, "Zhuqing, didn't I tell you that after I used a quest card, I received a purple-level quest that required me to interlock fingers with the nearest male soul master...!"

"Just think, if you used the quest card inside the hotel and the quest content told you to find the nearest male soul master to interlock fingers with."

"Wouldn't you have to go outside and search around to find out who that man is?"

"What if he turns out to be some greasy, foot-picking uncle? Zhuqing, could you bring yourself to interlock fingers with him?"

"That would be a total waste of a quest card!"

"Besides, a soul master can only accept three quests at a time. If you don't complete the ones you've already taken, you'll be wasting a quest slot for nothing!"

"So, using a quest card inside the hotel is simply a foolish move; you'd be losing out big time!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing carefully considered the logic and couldn't help but feel that Rongrong made a lot of sense.

But at the thought of such bizarre quest requirements, Zhu Zhuqing's expression turned cold as she said, "If it requires me to have intimate contact with some so-called male soul master, no matter who he is, I will choose to abandon the quest without hesitation!"

Watching Zhu Zhuqing's icy demeanor, Ning Rongrong thought to herself, Zhuqing has been so deeply hurt by men that she doesn't want to trust any of them anymore. It's a bit pitiful. If I get the chance, I must save her!

On the surface, Ning Rongrong said with a serious face, "Zhuqing, there are still good men in this world. For example, my father, my Sword and Bone grandfathers, and Boss Li Haiyun!"

After hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing thought it over carefully and felt it actually made some sense.

However, she remained skeptical in her heart about whether that Boss Li Haiyun was truly as good as described.

"Rongrong, you said I can't use the quest card now." Zhu Zhuqing suddenly glanced at her and said, "Could it be that you want to take me to the Quest Card Shop tomorrow and use the card right in front of Boss Li?"

Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously, a look of certainty on her face as she said, "That's right! Zhuqing, you're so smart, you guessed it!"

"If I have to hug or interlock fingers with a male soul master to complete a quest, I hope that man is Boss Li Haiyun!"

"You haven't met Boss Li yet, so you might have some prejudice against him."

"But trust me, once you see Boss Li, you will definitely find that he is different from those people at Shrek Academy like Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Flender!"

Ning Rongrong spoke earnestly, giving Boss Li Haiyun a very high evaluation.

This was mainly because she had personally benefited from Li Haiyun.

Furthermore, the contrast provided by people like Dai Mubai and Oscar only served to highlight Boss Li Haiyun's unique and virtuous character.

Seeing that Ning Rongrong's expression and tone were incredibly sincere and that she held such a high opinion of Boss Li Haiyun, Zhu Zhuqing found herself hearing about him more and more.

Deep down, a strong interest in Li Haiyun began to grow; she wanted to see for herself if this boss truly lived up to Ning Rongrong's praise.

However, Zhu Zhuqing remained stubborn, saying, "Is that so? Aren't all men the same, cut from the same cloth? I hope this Boss Li doesn't disappoint me."

Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Boss Li is a very good person."

"Hmm." Zhu Zhuqing nodded, then began to carefully examine the quest card in her hand.

These were three crimson-gold cards, made of a unique and expensive material with a high-quality texture. They were covered in raised, mysterious patterns that looked far from ordinary.

Combined with what Ning Rongrong had said, each quest card cost ten thousand gold soul coins.

Yet, Ning Rongrong had been incredibly generous, giving her three cards right away.

In her heart, Zhu Zhuqing's favorability toward Ning Rongrong quietly increased.

[Favorability +3!]

[Current favorability of Zhu Zhuqing toward you: 89!]

Favorability increased by another 3 points, that's great! Once it reaches 100, I can become best friends with Zhuqing and complete the red-level quest!

As long as I get the 'Title Douluo Cultivation Experience Card for the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul', I will have the ability to protect myself!

At that time, if Dai Mubai or Flender dare to provoke me again, I'll use it immediately and beat them to a pulp!!

Ning Rongrong thought to herself.

The little girl held a grudge; she was already fantasizing about the scene where she gained immense power and thrashed her "enemies."

Just thinking about it made her excited!

Meanwhile, after studying the quest cards for a while longer, Zhu Zhuqing lay down on the large bed with Ning Rongrong.

After falling asleep in the middle of the night, Ning Rongrong habitually hugged Zhu Zhuqing's slender body tightly, as if she were a doll, and slept very soundly!

On the other side, in Soto City, at the City Lord's Mansion.

Solio returned to the mansion with a heart full of excitement, eager to share this joy with his father.

Just moments ago, by purchasing a quest card for ten thousand gold soul coins, he had obtained a rare and precious five-hundred-year-old Jade Phosphorus Snake Head Bone.

But his old man was sleeping.

Solio dared not disturb him in the middle of the night, so he returned to his room, where he stayed awake all night, trembling with excitement.

Dawn broke.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the window, landing on Solio's chubby face.

"Old man, I have good news!"

With dark circles under his eyes and his heels kicking against his backside, he sprinted off to find his father.

City Lord Soraf, who was enjoying his breakfast in the main hall, cast a faint glance at his son and said, "What good news could it be? Stop being so rash."

"Old man, let me tell you, I spent ten thousand gold soul coins and bought something amazing!"

Solio said excitedly, the soft, youthful fat on his face quivering.

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing this, City Lord Soraf spat out the lotus seed and red date soup he had been drinking.

"What!"

"You little piglet, you actually spent ten thousand gold soul coins?"

"Those were the gold soul coins your father spent years and years painstakingly saving up for you, holiday after holiday!"

"You just spent them like that?!!"

"Your father was even thinking that if things got tight at home, I'd come to you to borrow some savings for an emergency!!"

"You spendthrift!"

Soraf was so angry he jumped up on the spot, unleashing a torrent of abuse at Solio, his spit flying everywhere.

Solio looked aggrieved. Silently, he brushed the emerald on his soul tool belt and injected a trace of soul power into it, withdrawing the five-hundred-year Jade Phosphorus Snake Head Bone.

"Old man... you haven't even asked what treasure I bought with those ten thousand gold soul coins yet!"

Solio spoke in a low, wounded voice.

Yet, he held the Jade Phosphorus Snake Head Bone up high with his chubby hands in a flamboyant, dramatic display.

Determination to Defy Unfair Fate

This Jade Phosphorus Snake Head Bone, crystalline and translucent throughout, looked just like a massive emerald, emitting a brilliant green radiance.

Upon closer inspection, one could even sense a chilling, dangerous aura emanating from the soul bone, sending a shiver down the spine.

"What!!"

"This, this is a soul bone?!!"

City Lord Soraf was stunned, his mouth hanging open so wide it looked like a calf could fit inside.

His gaze was locked firmly onto the five-hundred-year Jade Phosphorus Snake Head Bone.

After checking it again and again, Soraf could be certain that this was truly a rare soul beast skull.

"Hahaha!!"

He snatched the Jade Phosphorus Snake Head Bone directly from his son Solio's hands, cradling it like a treasure as he burst into uproarious laughter.

With the soul bone snatched away by his old man, Solio felt a bit unbalanced.

But seeing the wrinkles on his father's face filled with such joy, he immediately let it go.

"Good lad, this really is a soul beast skull; I have an intense desire to fuse with it!"

"Your father has lived for more than half a lifetime and has never once obtained a soul bone!"

"Who would have thought, who would have thought you actually bought a soul bone for ten thousand gold soul coins!"

"Wuwuwu, it's worth it, it's worth it! You are my prodigal son, my wonderful boy!!"

Soraf clutched the soul bone, tears of joy streaming down his face as he showered his son with praise.

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Solio became a bit carried away; he placed his hands on his hips and laughed along with him.

The father and son laughed for a long time.

Then, Soraf's expression suddenly turned serious as he asked, "My good son, how did you manage to buy this soul bone?"

"Old man, it's like this..."

Solio recounted the entire process of obtaining the soul bone, placing special emphasis on the Quest Card Shop.

At first, Soraf thought it sounded normal enough.

However, when he heard that his son had actually raised his arms and shouted, in front of everyone, "I am a turtle son"...

That damn imagery stabbed straight into his mind.

The mere thought that he, as a father, was a turtle—a tortoise!

"This quest is truly malicious!"

Soraf's nose went crooked with rage on the spot.

However, Soraf immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the quest card.

He went straight to his wife, took out their family savings of thirty thousand gold soul coins, and handed them to Solio.

"My son, this Quest Card Shop is far from simple. Take these thirty thousand gold soul coins to purchase quest cards!"

"You must be respectful to that Boss Li, and while you're at it, give him my regards!"

"Our Sor family might just use this opportunity to soar to greatness and reach the pinnacle of life!"

"As for this spirit bone, Daddy will keep it safe for you for now!"

Soraf instructed him repeatedly.

Solio nodded solemnly and said, "I know, Daddy. I'm heading out to buy the quest cards right now!"

Clutching the thirty thousand gold soul coins, the little fatty was overjoyed.

Even though he hadn't slept a wink all night from excitement.

Solio remained full of vigor; clutching the money, he ran toward Li Haiyun's Quest Card Shop.

The servants who didn't know any better probably thought the young master Solio was off to visit a brothel!

On the other side.

After Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing finished the breakfast provided by the hotel, they hurried toward the Quest Card Shop without a moment's delay.

The place was packed with people and bustling with activity.
