Chapter 14 Extortion Successful
Let's turn our attention back to our protagonist, Huo Yuhao.
When Huo Yuhao opened his eyes again, the sun was already high in the sky.
After yawning and stretching to relax his muscles, Huo Yuhao finally noticed his roommate who was covered by the blanket on the other side.
"What? Have you thought it through?" Huo Yuhao wasn't annoyed that he couldn't escape Tang San's surveillance when he saw Wang Dong return. Let him monitor him if he wants. Anyway, he wouldn't openly confront Tang San in the early stages. Judging from the current situation, Tang San probably wouldn't use methods beyond the plot.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had exited his cultivation state, Wang Dong also peeked out from under the covers, sat up, and prepared to have a good talk with Huo Yuhao about the rules of the dormitory.
At this moment, in Huo Yuhao's eyes, Wang Dong, who was curled up in the quilt with only her head showing, exuded a gentle charm that made people want to protect and get close to her.
Even... in Huo Yuhao's mind, he was already subconsciously picturing Wang Dong's posture under the blanket. That position, it was like a duck sitting...
"Damn it!" Huo Yuhao cursed inwardly, while simultaneously calling upon the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to activate the power of his second martial soul, which allowed him to regain his composure.
Is the allure of the Goddess of Light Butterfly really that strong? Even Huo Gua, who didn't know Wang Dong's gender in the original work, showed signs of being "turned gay".
Now that he knows Wang Dong's female identity, he will be even more unable to resist. No wonder the Sea God specially gave Wang Dong a divinely bestowed martial soul. It seems that it is not just because of Wang Dong's personal preference.
Unlike forceful, controlling charm that can be resisted with willpower, this kind of subtle charm is simply unsolvable, especially now that even the watchful eyes of the gods cannot distance her from Wang Dong. She can only think of other ways to deal with it.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's smug look, Wang Dong was so angry he gritted his teeth, and even the idea of changing dorms, which had already disappeared, resurfaced...
After a while, Wang Dong calmed down and stated his rules in an unquestionable manner:
"First, you are not allowed to bring anyone back to the dormitory; second, you are not allowed to be naked in the dormitory, especially not to sleep naked! Third, you must knock on the door before entering the dormitory and wait for my permission or at least three seconds before entering; fourth, do not disturb me, including verbal harassment and physical contact; fifth, you will be responsible for cleaning the dormitory from now on, but do not touch my things."
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. It turned out that five more rules had been added, just like in the original story. Although the rules had changed a bit, these minor details were not important. The important thing was that he would soon be able to earn five thousand gold soul coins.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao smiled from the bottom of his heart and looked eagerly at the great swindler, oh no, the great god of wealth: "Add five more rules, right? Sincerely, five thousand gold soul coins."
Seeing Huo Yuhao's smug look, Wang Dong's anger, which had finally subsided, flared up again. Trembling, he took out a savings card from his soul tool and handed it to Huo Yuhao through gritted teeth.
The way Wang Dong was giving money now was so different from the unquestionable tone he used when setting the rules a second ago that it really amused Huo Yuhao.
Looking at the savings card certified by the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce in his hand, Huo Yuhao smiled even more broadly.
Although he didn't know the amount in the savings card, Huo Yuhao still chose to trust Wang Dong's character, put the savings card into the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night, and extended his right hand to Wang Dong: "Pleasure doing business with you!"
One million, oh no, five thousand gold soul coins! How could Huo Yuhao not be happy? As for whether Wang Dong was happy or not, what did it have to do with him?
The happier Huo Yuhao laughed, the more displeased Wang Dong became. Seeing Huo Yuhao's attempt to make amends, Wang Dong not only didn't appreciate it, but instead reminded him, "Don't forget the fourth rule."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, withdrew his hand, and murmured, "So strict? I understand."
"By the way, my name is Huo Yuhao. What's your name again?" Although Huo Yuhao knew Wang Dong's name, he suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten to introduce himself.
"Wang Dong." Although Wang Dong really didn't want to pay attention to Huo Yuhao, he still gave his name.
With five thousand gold soul coins in hand, Huo Yuhao was too lazy to waste time on Wang Dong and got up to walk towards the cafeteria.
Seeing Huo Yuhao suddenly get up and walk outside on his own, Wang Dong couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"
"I'm in a good mood today, let's go to the cafeteria for a nice meal!"
"Gurgle~" As his stomach began to rumble in protest, Wang Dong realized that he had originally intended to have breakfast.
As a result, not only did they not get to eat breakfast, but they were also extorted for 5,000 gold soul coins by some greedy person.
It's all that guy's fault.
Seeing Huo Yuhao walk away, Wang Dong also crawled out of bed. Because she didn't want to see that money-grubbing guy, Wang Dong deliberately chose to walk in the opposite direction from Huo Yuhao, that is, towards the entrance of Shrek Academy. Otherwise, seeing Huo Yuhao eating and drinking well with the money he extorted from her would only affect her mood.
Let's skip the tedious daily practice process, pick up the clock, and turn the hour hand to five o'clock in the afternoon.
"Huo Yuhao!" A shout rang out, rousing Huo Yuhao from his cultivation state.
Huo Yuhao slowly exhaled, quickly completed the last small circulation of Qi, and shouted towards the window, "Teacher Xiaoya, I'm coming out right away." Then he rushed out of the dormitory.
"Teacher Xiaoya!" Huo Yuhao greeted Tang Ya simply, then looked at her expectantly: "How many fish did you prepare?"
Tang Ya chuckled and said, "I've prepared twenty fish for you. It won't take up too much of your time. It'll definitely be less time than you wasting working at the academy."
"Teacher Xiaoya, where should we sell it?" Huo Yuhao asked.
Tang Ya had clearly planned this out. "The academy gate! The main gate of Shrek Academy is the east gate of Shrek City. There are always many vendors outside the east gate, including many students from our academy who do business. Let's go there too. With your grilled fish skills, you won't have to worry about not being able to sell them. Even if we don't sell them, we can just eat them ourselves."
Huo Yuhao followed Tang Ya out of the academy. Since it was still registration time at Shrek Academy, there were many people on the main road. Occasionally, vehicles from the Soul Master families of the original Douluo Continent's Three Kingdoms would pass by, as well as many new students registering and returning senior students returning from their holidays.
The main road outside the East Gate was lined with numerous vendors selling all sorts of things, a dazzling array. Among them, vendors selling various kinds of food were the most numerous, their cries of vendors filling the air.
Tang Ya was clearly impatient. She took out all the things she had prepared not far from the city gate, and even blocked a section of the main road.
She had a metal oven specially made by a craftsman, along with iron racks, various seasonings, and cleaned and gutted bluefish. She quickly put everything together, and even made a small table specifically for storing all these things.
While Tang Ya was preparing to set up her stall, Huo Yuhao was also busy. He took out a wooden board, wrote on it: "One gold soul coin for one grilled fish, limited to two per person," and placed it in front of the stall.
Tang Ya took out the charcoal and placed it on the ground. Turning her head, she saw the sign Huo Yuhao had put up. After reading the words on it, she couldn't help but ask, "Selling it for such a high price, will anyone buy it?"
Huo Yuhao confidently replied, "Many people who come to register for the academy right now are at mealtime. They have just finished the registration process and are starving. They are more likely to pay for their food. As long as one person buys, we will make a profit. Moreover, after they have tried it once, I believe that people with a good family background will not care about the price of one gold soul coin."
"Is that so...? Whatever you say. My task is done, now it's up to you. I'm going to buy some other things to eat. Remember, two of these fish are mine. Also, if you need to buy ingredients in the future, just go to Aunt Lin at your cafeteria."
Tang Ya didn't concern herself with Huo Yuhao's pricing issue; after giving him a few instructions, she left excitedly.
