Chapter 189. Happy Free Shopping at Flanders' Store.
For the past two years, this puppet has been helping Qian Xunji with Spirit Hall affairs.
The Spirit Hall's spirit guide device business is booming, generating significant profits, but it's currently focused on producing low-level spirit guides. Lou Gao, Silong, and the others have already reached the level of mid-level spirit guides, with Lou Gao even reaching the level of a sixth-level spirit guide.
Since the opening of the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone Secret Realm, the elders' strength has greatly increased. The Spirit Hall has accumulated over a hundred Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bones over the past two years, and as for the Thousand Year Spirit Bones, the number is almost uncountable.
Now, the Spirit Hall possesses the power to overwhelm all forces on the continent.
"Two years, so is this the stage where Tang San is heading to Shrek Academy?" Qian Xunji asked.
Qian Xunji opened the system interface. Over the past two years, Tang San and the others haven't been very supportive, having given Qian Xunji over 70,000 emotion points.
Should I celebrate my promotion to a Level Three God with a lucky draw?
"It's been a while since I've done the Silver Ten-Draw. I'll spend ten million to try it out," Qian Xunji said.
"System, activate the Silver Ten-Draw mode."
[Activate the Silver Ten-Draw.]
Silver Ten-Draw 1: 15,000-Year Green Vine Man Soul Bone. Silver
Ten-Draw 2: 15,000-Year Wyvern Soul Ring.
Silver Ten-Draw 7: 1 Spirit Simulator Card.
Silver Ten-Draw 10: Universal Mask!
The Silver Ten-Draw only gives spirit rings and bones. Except for the seventh and tenth draws, which give Qian Xunji some new items, there are no other prizes.
Qian Xunji picked up the Spirit Simulator Card and the Universal Mask and examined them.
[Spirit Simulator Card: For host use only. After using this card, the host can set their own spirit, spirit ring configuration, spirit power level, and so on, transforming themselves into the object you set. This card can be used repeatedly. Note: The target's strength cannot exceed the host's.]
[Universal Mask: After donning the Universal Mask, the host can transform into any person's face, as desired. Both of these items could be considered spy items .
The Spirit Simulator card is incredibly powerful, and it would be even better if it could be bestowed upon others. Unfortunately, it's limited to personal use, which is quite frustrating. As the Spirit Hall's boss, would Qianxunji need to play stealth? He'd be better off practicing instead.
The Universal Mask can transform into anyone's image, even your desired one, but unfortunately, it only transforms the face, not the body. It's similar to Qian Renxue's head spirit bone: a flaw in both. If you transform your face, but not your body, others will recognize you instantly.
These two items are only somewhat useful, but not very.
At this moment, Lin Mengtong entered the Pope's Hall and reported, "Your Holiness, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others have left the Notting City Soul Master Academy and are heading for Shrek Academy. What are your plans for next? Do you need me to intercept and kill that 100,000-year-old soul beast?"
Qian Xunji shook his head and said, "If we kill that rabbit so easily, how will we continue the story?"
Lin Mengtong understood and said, "I understand, Your Holiness. I will continue to monitor Tang San and the others."
With that, Lin Mengtong withdrew.
"Twelve years have passed since I came to this world. Is the early Shrek plot in the novel finally about to begin?" Qian Xunji murmured.
Qian Xunji heard the system's voice in his ear.
[Ding, Master Abuse Quest Triggered]
[Quest Brief: Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ye Yang, and the others have left Notting City's Spirit Master Academy and are enrolling at Shrek Academy. Host, over the next month, you must provide Tang San and the Shrek Academy with an unforgettable back-to-school experience.]
[Quest Reward: Determined based on Master Abuse Level]
[Please accept.]
Qian Xunji pondered for a moment and said, "Accept."
Qian Xunji picked up the two items he had previously drawn: the Spirit Simulator Card and the Universal Mask.
"It seems these two items aren't so useless after all."
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ye Yang arrived in Soto City from Notting City. For Tang San, who had already been there in his previous life, the place wasn't new, but Ye Yang was incredibly fascinated.
Tang San and Xiao Wu wandered around until they reached the shop he remembered from his past life.
"Found it! Dragon Beard Needles! I don't want to miss this," Tang San thought excitedly.
With that, he led Xiao Wu into the shop.
"Brothers, do you see that? Dragon Whisker Needles! Dragon Whisker Needles! We're about to see San Giegie's ultimate weapon for showmanship!" Ye Yang said excitedly.
Tang Clan's Yifan: Hurry, hurry in! This is a famous scene between San Giegie and Flanders.
Tang Clan's Xu Kun: What are you doing standing outside like an idiot? Go in and live stream! I want to see San Giegie! I don't want to see your stinky face.
Sanwu: Go in, go in.
Ye Yang said with a puzzled look on his face, "But San Giegie didn't let me in."
Tang Clan's Xiaochuan: He didn't tell you to go in, nor did he tell you not to. If you don't go in, who can you blame? Go in and live stream San Giegie!"
Urged by the Tang Clan's fans, Ye Yang had no choice but to follow Tang San into the store.
As soon as Tang San entered, he looked towards the crystal, only to find it held by a middle-aged man.
Tang San's eyes lit up at the sight.
That's my dragon beard needle, put it down, put your dirty hands down.
The man weighed the large piece of hair crystal and asked Flanders, who was lying on the armchair beside him: "How much is this crystal?"
"One hundred soul coins." Flanders quoted the price without even looking at it.
"Too expensive, fifty soul coins," the middle-aged man asked.
"Too expensive?" Flanders raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Two hundred soul coins."
"Ten gold soul coins, I want this crystal."
Flanders was immediately furious: "Five hundred soul coins, if you want to take it, don't even think about taking it if you have one less."
On the other side, Ye Yang walked in. When he saw this scene, he and his friends in the live broadcast room were stunned.
Tangmen Xu Kun: Who is this person? How dare he touch the hair crystal of my San Giegie?
Tang Clan Yifan: Dean Flanders, hurry up and teach them a lesson.
Baimao: You guys, haven't you noticed? The plot has changed. This character doesn't exist in the original novel.
Tang Clan Xiaochuan: What's the difference between having this damn thing and not having it? He's just an ordinary person, and Flanders still took care of him. This hair crystal is destined to fall into the hands of Sangiegie.
Elsewhere, the man said, "Five hundred gold soul coins? No, no, no, I think this crystal is worth that much."
Flanders stood up, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light. The man in front of him was clearly not here to buy anything, but to cause trouble.
Just as Flanders was about to take action, a childish voice came from behind him:
"Dean Flanders, this crystal is one hundred soul coins. I want it."
Flanders turned around and saw Tang San, Ye Yang, and Xiao Wu. Tang San smiled innocently.
"You know me?" Flanders asked in surprise.
Tang San smiled, "Of course, I heard what Master said."
"Master?" When Flanders saw the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night on Tang San's waist, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on his face. He said, "So you're his disciple? You want that crystal too? I'll just give it to you."
"No, no, no, I still have to give you the hundred soul coins," Tang San said, handing Flanders a bag of coins.
Flanders neither agreed nor refused. Instead, he pushed his glasses and said to the middle-aged man beside him, "Did you hear that? I've already given that crystal to that young man."
"I heard," the middle-aged man sneered, "I've really taken this crystal today. As for how much I can give you, it's nothing."
Livestreamer Da Weilan: Tang San actually knew Flanders from the beginning. This is quite different from the Douluo Continent I know.
Tangmen Yifan: This guy is so arrogant. I wonder if he can still be as arrogant as he is now when he gets beaten up later.
Tangmen Xu Kun: I've decided to return this crystal. I won't give you a cent. Do you think you're shopping in Lighthouse Country, buying for free? Didn't you hear that my three giegies told you the identity of the store manager? Flanders, the cat-owl Flanders.
Tangmen Shuang: Flanders has the strength of a Soul Saint. After a while, Flanders said, I still like your rebellious look just now.
Hongdou: Humph, maybe this middle-aged man is a hidden boss.
Tangmen Zhehan: Stupid three black guys, do you think hidden bosses are so rare? There are not many people in the original novel who can be stronger than Flanders.
Qian Moyu: Anyway, the plot has changed. In other words, the future experienced by Ye Yang can no longer develop according to the Douluo Continent as we understand it. I am even more looking forward to the next plot.
Flanders' face darkened at the middle-aged man's words, but then he laughed and said, "Well, if a tiger doesn't show its might, you think I'm a sickly cat. After all these years, you're the first person to bully me, Flanders. Today, I'll show you what power is."
With that, a terrifying soul force erupted around Flanders' body. Behind him, the shadow of an owl appeared, and seven soul rings—yellow, purple, and black—descended.
"You're... Four-Eyed Owl Flanders?" the middle-aged man exclaimed in shock.
"It's too late to recognize you now. I'll give you one chance. Kneel down and apologize, and leave me one thousand soul coins," Flanders said.
The middle-aged man suppressed his shock, shook his head, and said playfully, "You're wrong. An apology is out of the question. I want this hair crystal. I'll take anything I like from your shop, including any money you have on you. Give it all to me, or I'll make you, Flender, lose a part today."
With that, he stepped forward. Behind him, a crisp chirp echoed. A golden eagle spread its wings, and its Soul Douluo aura instantly overwhelmed Flender's.
Its yellow, purple, and black auras surpassed Flender's by a single ring, its martial spirit surpassing Flender's. Flender's face turned green at the sight.
"Soul Douluo," he flashed before Flender, condensing his soul power and striking him with a slap. Flender, stunned by the blow, was sent flying backwards, crashing into the wall and creating a human hole.
After a while, Flender finally emerged from the manhole, his face swollen as a pig's head, blood oozing from his nose and mouth.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ye Yang stared at the middle-aged man in horror.
"I'm a Level 89 Golden Eagle Soul Douluo, Yang Guo, and I'll be promoted to a Titled Douluo next year. Are you, Four-Eyed Cat Owl Flender, so strong? Will you give me another chance to kneel down and apologize?" the Golden Eagle Soul Douluo sneered.
Flanders said in an unclear voice: "No, I dare not, Lord Soul Douluo, I dare not, this crystal belongs to you, it belongs to you, I don't want a penny."
"It's too late." The golden eagle Soul Douluo said: "I want everything in your store, including the money on you and the money in the cabinet, give it all to me."
Asking Flanders for money is like asking for Flanders' life, but facing the strong suppression of the Soul Douluo, Flanders had to say aggrievedly: "You, you are robbing."
"Robbery you, what does it have to do with you, give me the money if you know what's good for you, otherwise I will break your limbs and turn you into a human stick."
"No, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you." Flanders had to crawl out and rummage through the drawers, count the money, and organize the things in the store.
At this moment, the Golden Eagle Soul Douluo, while playing with the crystal, glanced at the stunned Tang San and said, "Boy, I heard you wanted this crystal too?"
Tang San had been staring at the hair crystal in the Golden Eagle Soul Douluo's hand, as if he were a strange uncle eyeing a little girl. Hearing the question, Tang San could only say in a low voice, "No, I don't want it anymore. I don't want it anymore."
"Hmph," the Golden Eagle Soul Douluo snorted coldly, saying nothing.
A moment later, Flanders sorted out all the items and money in the shop. With a pained look on his face, he said to the Golden Eagle Soul Douluo, "It's all here. Please take a look."
The Golden Eagle Soul Douluo said, "You didn't hide anything?"
"No, no, I promise it's all here," Flanders said.
The Golden Eagle Soul Douluo took all the money and treasures from Flanders' shop and left.
While Flanders felt pained, he was slightly relieved that he had put most of his money at Shrek Academy, otherwise he would have been completely penniless.
Tang San stared at the direction where the Golden Eagle Soul Douluo had left, his eyes filled with hatred and unwillingness.
Damn it, damn it, my Dragon Beard Needle, my Dragon Beard Needle.
Tang San said inwardly, unwillingly, "In the first half of his life, the dragon whisker needle derived from this hair crystal played a huge role for Tang San. Now this powerful weapon is gone, stolen by someone. Damn Golden Eagle Soul Douluo, if, if I still had my Divine King cultivation, you would be kneeling at my feet like an ant, begging me for mercy."
