Who cared whether they were the Angel God, the Sea God's daughter, or the Silver Dragon King!
He had Emotion Points and a system anyway.
He had to get some Emotion Points first and gain the power to protect himself, lest he suddenly drop dead when the time came.
After all, if any of these three chicks suddenly recovered her power and scattered my ashes with a backhand, wouldn't I die on the spot?
So he quickly took out his phone.
He gently unlocked the phone, and it instantly lit up.
Qian Renxue looked wary:
"What is that?"
Although Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena had never eaten pork, she had seen pigs run.
She immediately understood that this was probably a Soul Tool.
"Is this what Soul Tools look like here?"
Lin Hao nodded:
"You could understand it that way. Through this device, you can receive information from the entire world."
Everyone was shocked to hear that.
Qian Renxue was deeply puzzled:
"Aren't Soul Tools all old antiques?"
"How could they be so miraculous?"
Her words also voiced the thoughts of countless Soul Masters and ordinary people in the world of Douluo I.
In their eyes, Soul Tools were old antiques unearthed from the ground.
If they really could receive information from around the world, how greatly would they change the world?
Although Tang Wutong had never seen a phone either, that did not stop her from looking at Qian Renxue as though she were a country bumpkin.
"Hmph, you don't understand, do you?"
"In our era, we could already communicate and make calls through Soul Tools, and even travel in Soul Tool vehicles."
"Right, you lived ten thousand years ago. It's only natural that you wouldn't understand."
Qian Renxue's mouth twitched at those words. She had never imagined that one day she would be together with someone from ten thousand years in the future.
Yet the sense of crisis in her heart had never faded.
Technology developed this quickly in just ten thousand years?
She resolved to learn the technology here. Wouldn't reviving Spirit Hall be practically assured then?
Only Gu Yuena was relatively calm.
In her era, although these things were novel, they did not play such a crucial role in the overall situation.
Instead, she was very interested in why Lin Hao had taken out his phone.
[Congratulations, host. You have received 100 Emotion Points from Qian Renxue.]
Having finally received 100 Emotion Points, Lin Hao felt thoroughly refreshed.
With that in mind, Lin Hao opened the Tencent Video app so he could harvest Emotion Points from the three women more effectively.
As a staunch supporter of legitimate releases, he was definitely going to buy VIP membership.
Seeing that his last renewal had been a year ago, Lin Hao thought about it guiltily.
He wanted to cast Douluo Continent onto the television to play the animation, so he painfully spent nineteen yuan on an SVIP membership.
It pained him to death.
If he could not earn more Emotion Points from this, he would be losing big-time.
"Come sit down."
He led the three women over to the sofa.
Although they were wary, they saw that Lin Hao meant no harm and complied.
They also wanted to see what tricks Lin Hao would pull.
What Lin Hao played was the first Douluo Continent animation, and the four large characters spelling "Douluo Continent" appeared on the screen.
Qian Renxue asked curiously, "So what are you going to show us?"
Lin Hao did not keep them guessing:
"What I'm showing you is an animation adapted from the novel Douluo Continent."
All three of them were quite astonished to hear that.
Tang Wutong pouted and said:
"Why is this animation's name so similar to our Douluo Continent's name?"
Lin Hao smiled:
"Doesn't it seem like a coincidence?"
"That's because your Douluo Continent is itself the content of a novel, and you're characters who walked out of that novel and animation."
The three women were stunned.
Their minds instantly went blank.
What did he mean, they were characters who had walked out of an animation?
It was not just those three who were shocked.
As they watched the contents of the Sky Screen,
everyone, from the world of Douluo I to the world of Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King, including the Divine Realm, was dumbfounded.
"This Sky Screen must be fake, right?"
"What does he mean, we're characters in a novel and animation?"
"I'm a dignified Titled Douluo! How could I possibly be a character from someone else's pen?"
"Could someone be trying to use the Sky Screen to undermine our morale and invade our world?"
"There must be a conspiracy?"
[Emotion Points from Qian Renxue, Tang Wutong, and Gu Yuena +1,000]
Seeing this sudden windfall, Lin Hao felt delighted.
He had just glanced at the system shop.
Cash was available for exchange there: 100 Emotion Points could be exchanged for 100,000 in cash.
He now had 1,100 Emotion Points in total. This haul was equivalent to earning 1.1 million in a single day.
It had taken him less than a day to go from a salted-fish student lying flat over summer vacation to a millionaire.
But in his eyes, what was more worth exchanging for was not cash, but skills and items that could improve his own abilities.
Martial Souls, Soul Rings, Soul Power, Immortal Herbs, divine artifacts, the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record...
These things from Douluo were already quite good for a mortal like him.
Lin Hao scrolled down and discovered that he could actually exchange for items from the primordial wilderness genre too.
For example, [Refining Essence into Qi Cultivation Method] and [Refining Qi into Spirit Cultivation Method]...
Even cultivation levels could be exchanged for, not just at the mortal stage, but at the immortal stage too, such as Heavenly Immortal and Golden Immortal...
There were also all sorts of miraculous elixirs and immortal treasures...
But the strings of zeros following the Emotion Point prices frightened him so much that he did not dare look any further.
Lin Hao could not help inwardly exclaiming, Holy shit.
With these things, why would he bother cultivating Soul Power?
His enthusiasm for earning Emotion Points instantly multiplied several times over.
So Lin Hao asked Qian Renxue and the other two in return:
"You don't believe you're characters in a novel?"
Tang Wutong immediately stood and glared at him:
"Then if I told you that you're a character in a novel or storybook too, would you believe me?"
Lin Hao shrugged. "If you gave me proof, of course I'd believe you."
Obviously. He had read countless novels growing up. If he learned one day that he was a character in a novel too, he would not make a fuss.
What else could he do?
Just live his life properly.
Seeing how calm Lin Hao was, Gu Yuena paused and said:
"If you're so certain, you must have proof!"
"Is it this animation you mentioned?"
Lin Hao looked at Gu Yuena appreciatively.
At the same time, he took a jab at the young lady Tang Wutong:
"Look at her, then look at yourself. As God King Tang's daughter, can't you be a little more composed?"
Tang Wutong glared viciously at Lin Hao.
"How dare you! I'll be as arrogant as I please! What's it to you?"
Lin Hao was amused:
"Fine, fine, I can't tell you what to do!"
"Then I'll show you your dad's embarrassing childhood history."
Tang Wutong's heart lurched at those words.
Seeing her expression, Lin Hao thought this batch of Emotion Points should be in the bag.
Lin Hao believed that Tang San could not possibly have told anyone that he was a transmigrator, not even his daughter, wife, or parents...
Thus, this batch of Emotion Points was his to harvest for certain.
Across the three timelines beyond the Sky Screen,
everyone was curious too. What embarrassing history could Tang San, the Sea God and Asura God, possibly have?
Lin Hao introduced it. "The first episode is very simple. It tells the story of Tang San's past and present lives."
He deftly skipped the first few dozen seconds to save some time. After all, the main event was still to come.
As the scene changed, the beautiful Tang Sect came into view, standing atop a towering mountain cliff.
A black-haired young man was fleeing through the woods, with several Tang Sect elders behind him.
Purple Demon Eye, Mysterious Jade Hand, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track...
The young man unleashed these secret techniques, which belonged to the Tang Sect's inner sect and were never taught to outsiders, one after another, leaving his pursuers helpless.
After watching for a while, everyone understood: Tang San, an outer sect disciple of the Tang Sect, had stolen the inner sect's secret manual, the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
The exceptionally gifted Tang San had mastered the entire Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and even left behind a Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus. At the cliff's peak, he stripped off all his clothes and leaped naked into the abyss of Ghost's Sorrow, proving his loyalty to the Tang Sect and his innocence.
At this sight, Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena exclaimed that their eyes had been sullied.
Meanwhile, Tang Wutong was moved to tears:
"Boohoo... So this was Daddy's past life? That's my daddy for you."
"He'd clearly already mastered those divine techniques. With his strength, how could those old fellows possibly have been his match? But he still left all his life's work to the sect and departed without a stain on his name."
[Congratulations, host. You have received 200 Emotion Points from Tang Wutong.]
Lin Hao: ...
He stood to the side, utterly dumbfounded.
Was it really that tear-jerking?
He had originally thought he would harvest emotions from Tang Wutong such as resentment or something else.
He had never expected Tang Wutong to cry...
Meanwhile, Qian Renxue secretly frowned.
Her knowledge of Tang San was limited to his name.
The Imperial Fighting Team had gone out and lost to a team called Shrek, and the name Tang San seemed to have been among them.
Looking at it this way, it was no wonder. With such peculiar skills involved, the Imperial Fighting Team's defeat was to be expected.
Killing intent surged in Qian Renxue's heart.
Once she returned to Douluo Continent, she had to find Tang San and kill him in advance.
Gu Yuena, however, was deeply puzzled. She found Tang San's actions difficult to understand.
"Why did this Tang San jump off the cliff?"
"Utterly foolish."
"Wouldn't it have been better to remain and serve the sect to atone for his crime?"
In her eyes, the Tang Sect was a sect in need of revival, just like the Soul Beast Clan.
Every bit of strength deserved to be cherished.
Jumping off a cliff like that was instead irresponsible toward the sect.
At this point, Lin Hao spread his hands.
"Everyone has their own ideas. Look, doesn't Tang Wutong thoroughly agree with him?"
