Chapter 11 Extortion
"You!" Wang Dong was trembling with anger at Huo Yuhao's smug look. This was the first time in her life that someone had dared to threaten her with the rules.
"What do you mean, 'you'? You expect me to follow your rules with just one sentence, without giving me any benefits? Let me do the math: I'll have to abide by these stupid rules for the next six years. If I don't break them even once, it will seriously affect my personal habits. The most troublesome thing is having to change my habit of sleeping naked..."
Huo Yuhao was interrupted by Wang Dong's scream before he could finish speaking.
"What?! You sleep naked?! No way, I'm changing dorms!"
"If you want to change dorms, go talk to the teacher in charge. Why are you yelling at me like that?" Seeing Wang Dong lose his temper, Huo Yuhao casually picked at his ear, not caring at all whether Wang Dong wanted to change dorms or not.
"By the way, if you want me to follow your rules, that's fine, but following one rule requires this number. Don't think it's too much. I wouldn't give anyone else the face to follow their rules for no reason."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao stretched out his hand and raised his index finger.
"A thousand gold soul coins? Why don't you just rob me?" Wang Dong really didn't expect Huo Yuhao to be so greedy. Don't treat money like it's nothing. The tuition at Shrek Academy is only ten gold soul coins a year. A thousand gold soul coins is enough for you to study at Shrek Academy for a hundred years.
"Why didn't you rob me? What do you think I'm doing right now?" Hearing Wang Dong's offer, Huo Yuhao remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
As expected of the young master of the Haotian Sect and the daughter of the God King, it seems that the Haotian Sect has spent a lot of money on Wang Dong. They originally thought that extorting a hundred or so gold soul coins would be enough, but they didn't expect Wang Dong to ask for a thousand gold soul coins.
Don't say that only planning to extort 100 gold soul coins is too little. Huo Yuhao pays two copper coins for the most ordinary vegetables and rice at Shrek Academy.
Converted to the amount Huo Yuhao earned in his previous life when he was in college, it was roughly four yuan. One gold soul coin was two hundred yuan, and one hundred gold soul coins was roughly twenty thousand yuan in his previous life. However, when Wang Dong spoke, Huo Yuhao silently raised his expectation to one thousand gold soul coins, which was about two hundred thousand yuan in his previous life.
If he had 200,000 yuan to freely spend when he started school in his previous life, Huo Yuhao would pinch himself to see if he was still asleep.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's confident look, Wang Dong was even more furious. She glared at Huo Yuhao fiercely, turned around and left. She was going to find the teacher to change dorm rooms!
"Since we're roommates, if you expect me to follow your rules when you come back, I won't raise the price. But this is a one-time exception."
Seeing that Wang Dong did not agree, Huo Yuhao did not try to persuade him. Although it was a pity that he did not get the money, it was not unacceptable for him to stay away from Wang Dong.
Of course, the main reason was that Huo Yuhao felt Wang Dong might not be able to successfully change dorm rooms if Tang San was willing to give up using his daughter to control the Chosen One.
The troublesome person finally left, and Huo Yuhao turned around and left the dormitory to take a shower in the bathroom on the side of the floor.
Why would someone deliberately come to the dorm sweating profusely to clock in? It's just to lower Wang Dong's initial impression of them as much as possible.
However, Wang Dong is really easy to fool. By taking the initiative, he made Wang Dong forget that besides money, beating him up would also make him follow her rules.
The fines paid were far less than the amount extorted.
Before he has the basic ability to protect himself, Huo Yuhao doesn't want to get too close to Wang Dong. At most, he'll keep a distance, acting as a brother to keep Tang San hanging on, to prevent Tang San from using any methods different from those in the story.
A few minutes later, Huo Yuhao reappeared in the dormitory. After taking a shower, the sticky feeling finally disappeared. Huo Yuhao lay on the bed feeling refreshed, stretched comfortably, and then sat cross-legged to continue cultivating the Xuan Tian Gong.
Because he gave up practicing other Tang Sect techniques and had been eating well these past few days, Huo Yuhao felt that he would soon be able to completely convert the soul power in his body into Xuan Tian Gong power, which was a little faster than in the original story. This was Huo Yuhao's only hope of passing the first day's test by relying solely on his own strength without Wang Dong's help.
Not long after Huo Yuhao entered meditation, Wang Dong returned to the dormitory and saw Huo Yuhao already sitting on his wooden bed, meditating. He wanted to say something to him, but ultimately held back, grunted, and made his own bed.
Compared to Huo Yuhao's predicament, Wang Dong's bed was covered with a thick fur quilt, made of the hide of some kind of soul beast, but it looked thick and soft. Her luggage had already filled her closet, and there were also many other items scattered on the table. However, Wang Dong seemed too lazy to tidy up anymore, and in a fit of pique, she pulled the blanket over her head and went to sleep.
It was obvious that Wang Dong had run into a wall with the teacher in charge of dormitory arrangements.
As the Sun Moon Empire became increasingly restless, the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent also began to panic, hoping to befriend Shrek Academy in order to gain assistance in future wars. As a result, many talented soul masters who would otherwise have been intercepted within their own countries by the original Douluo three kingdoms were granted the qualification to go to Shrek Academy.
This has led to an increasingly tight dormitory situation at Shrek Academy, with no available beds for Wang Dong, let alone a single room.
The teacher in charge of this matter made it very clear that it could be arranged to change roommates, but if you want to be assigned a separate dormitory, you will have to wait until the first freshman assessment three months from now.
When a large number of freshmen are eliminated, the dormitories will be freed up for those who need them to use alone, but most of them will be occupied by the children of powerful families.
Furthermore, when there are not enough beds for new students, they may be arranged to stay temporarily in those single-occupancy dormitories.
So Wang Dong came back without changing dorms. If he had just followed the teacher's advice and changed dorms randomly, he would have been gambling and might have encountered even more bizarre roommates.
If you're staying in a single room, not only will you have to live with that guy for three months, but you'll also have temporary roommates later on. Although roommates are just for help, having more roommates increases the chances of encountering weirdos, so it's better not to change rooms at all!
At least for now, this roommate seems to think that as long as the money is enough, everything else is fine. Is a problem that can be solved with money even a problem for her?
But he was still so angry. Wang Dong was so angry that he went back to his dormitory without eating breakfast and lay in bed sulking.
In the sea of the spirit...
"Xiao Yuhao, what exactly happened before?"
Thinking back to the changes in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm felt a chill run down its spine. To be able to influence a person's emotions without them even realizing it under its nose—was this the power of a god? It was truly terrifying.
"Sister Tianmeng, I'm not entirely sure either, but I did notice something was off about her emotions..." Huo Yuhao roughly described his two emotional changes, but omitted the details related to Tang San and Wang Dong.
"That's all I know, Sister Tianmeng. From your perspective, is there anything noteworthy?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm perked up immediately upon hearing Huo Yuhao's question.
"When you first met, your mental sea was perfectly normal. Then, after you mentioned it, I focused my attention on that person outside. When I couldn't see anything unusual, I refocused my attention on your mental sea. Suddenly, I noticed that your mental sea had been stained with a blood-red color. Then, you inexplicably lost your composure and started arguing with that person."
"Blood red... Can the Asura Domain stir up negative emotions in people's hearts?" Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.
Although he had read Douluo Continent I in his previous life, he stopped reading after the Slaughter City part for some reason. He only read some discussions among netizens on the forum and knew some fragmented information.
However, by following the deduction process of the answer, Huo Yuhao was still able to guess who was behind it.
However... even through Wang Dong, Tang San's probing could only use his aura to interfere with my emotions.
Is it because the power of destiny is too strong, or because the God Realm is too strict, making Tang San wary, or is Tang San too weak?
