章節 93: Huo Yuhao: Can I eat your soft rice?
As for Wu Feng, her feelings were even more complex.
There hadn't been much conflict between Ning Tian and Huo Yuhao, but she had challenged Huo Yuhao before, and back then, she had looked down on him slightly.
But during a year of interaction, Wu Feng also came to understand that Huo Yuhao wasn't very concerned about how others viewed him, yet he had a unique bottom line.
The reason Dai Huabin suffered such humiliation was that he crossed Huo Yuhao's bottom line, leading to his embarrassment.
Wu Feng also noticed that very few people received recognition from Huo Yuhao. They were either like Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao, entirely reliant on him, or like herself and Ning Tian, appearing to have a good relationship with Huo Yuhao on the surface but actually being close friends for a long time.
Thinking this way, Wu Feng couldn't help but feel somewhat fortunate to have become Huo Yuhao's servant.
It doesn't seem so bad after all, does it?
Regarding everything related to Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao's attitude seemed somewhat indifferent.
All the honors and pressures seemed to go unnoticed by him.
Wu Feng vaguely sensed that Huo Yuhao seemed to have a plan in mind. But even though she noticed this, she refrained from asking Huo Yuhao about it and instead buried that question deep inside.
After all, if he wanted to say something, Huo Yuhao would have said it long ago.
Now, having received the chance to enter the inner courtyard in advance, Wu Feng was even somewhat "admiring" of Huo Yuhao.
How could Huo Yuhao achieve all these things?
She always felt like every step was part of Huo Yuhao's carefully designed plan. Everyone in this academy seemed to step into his trap, step by step, until the net closed in.
The wind by the Sea God's Lake was still cool, tousling the hair of a few people.
Wang Dong'er held the invitation, made of gold foil paper. Each of them had one, and they were currently gathering, seeking Huo Yuhao's opinion.
"I've already asked them. This so-called Reward Conference is specially tailored for Shrek Academy."
"And our participation is specifically for the core disciples."
Wang Dong'er explained the rules of the Reward Conference, her eyes already sparkling.
In terms of having fun, she had quite a playful nature, and this Reward Conference seemed to suit her well.
Since the news of Huo Yuhao's group entering the inner courtyard early hadn't been announced, and the formalities hadn't been completed, the organizers of the Reward Conference only knew they were core disciples. Hence, they hadn't issued invitations for inner courtyard disciples to them.
Huo Yuhao held up the invitation, instantly seeing through Wang Dong'er's thoughts.
"Do you want to use the status of a core disciple to buy things if you find something you like?"
Purchasing on credit and installment payments were the "benefits" provided to Shrek Academy disciples at this Reward Conference.
Wang Dong'er looked a bit disheartened. "Even... even if we don't buy anything, it's still nice to look around."
Huo Yuhao searched his memory. It seemed that there was a soul bone at this Reward Conference suitable for Wang Dong'er, not an attacking or defensive soul skill, but one that provided self-enhancement.
"Okay, let's go take a look. But we won't use the credit limit to buy things."
Wang Dong'er didn't know, but Huo Yuhao did. The organizer behind this Reward Conference, Treasure Gathering Pavilion, was actually controlled by Sea God Pavilion.
"Um..." Wang Dong'er pouted, taking out her own small treasury. "I think there's about three million gold soul coins in this card."
As the young master of Haotian Sect, having this much in her small treasury was expected.
"Uh, I have twenty million gold soul coins here." Ning Tian weakly raised her hand. "If it's not enough, you can use mine."
Both Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao were utterly shocked. It was no wonder she was from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan!
Two million gold soul coins were just Ning Tian's small treasury.
Huo Yuhao chuckled. "With Ning Tian's support, who needs to borrow from this Reward Conference? Just borrow from Ning Tian."
Huo Yuhao hadn't expected Ning Tian's small treasury to be so wealthy. He had been thinking of borrowing money from some unknown aristocrat.
Now it seemed like some unnamed aristocrat had temporarily escaped a crisis.
Ning Tian blushed. "As long as it helps everyone."
"Let's go!"
The Treasure Gathering Pavilion was located in the north of Shrek City. The group left Shrek Academy through the eastern gate and made their way to the northern gate.
Although the taxes in Shrek City were high, it was also one of the most prosperous cities in the entire Douluo Continent.
There were hardly any soul masters here who dared to cause trouble, making it one of the safest cities.
After wandering around the city for a while, the group soon arrived at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
The pavilion occupied a considerable area and was divided into four floors, shining like a basin of gathered treasures from the outside.
On both sides of the pavilion's entrance stood four young girls.
The girls looked to be about seventeen or eighteen, with excellent looks and figures. They wore white long skirts on their lower bodies, baring their shoulders on top.
Their clothing accentuated their curves, clearly displaying contours.
Huo Yuhao didn't focus on these girls; he had more than one flower in his garden now.
Everywhere he looked, there were flowers all belonging to the Huo Family.
It was Wang Dong'er who, stealing glances at Huo Yuhao, seemed relieved when she saw that he wasn't paying attention to those girls.
As the group approached the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, one of the eight girls at the entrance came forward, wearing a faint professional smile. She respectfully asked the group, especially focusing on Huo Yuhao, "Are you here to participate in the Reward Conference, esteemed guests?"
Wang Dong'er handed over the five invitations she held to the girl.
After checking the invitations, the girl's smile became even softer. "Esteemed soul masters, please follow me."
As she spoke, the girl gestured to lead the way, walking ahead.
Entering the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, a luxurious golden hall appeared before the group.
The entire golden hall sparkled under the crystal chandeliers. On both sides of this golden hall stood another set of girls, similar to those at the entrance.
Unlike the eight girls outside, these girls wore gold short skirts and looked a bit younger.
Their skirts barely covered their thighs, exposing their fair, slender legs, coupled with their perfect figures, giving the feeling of stepping into heaven.
"Welcome, esteemed guests." Suddenly, the girls on both sides bowed simultaneously, greeting Huo Yuhao and the others.
They all bowed to a ninety-degree angle, displaying their beautiful curves fully.
If it were any other boy, they might have felt their heart racing, feeling uneasy.
However, their destination wasn't this level. Guided by the white-skirted girl from before, the group reached the second level.
Compared to the first level, the second level seemed much quieter. There were various booths displaying items, covered with crystal glass.
Here, the white-skirted girl stopped and said, "Welcome to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion's Reward Conference."
"Esteemed guests can freely browse here. If you find something you like, you can register for purchase on the west side. If you need credit, evaluation can also be done on the west side, determining the discounts and credit limits available to esteemed guests."
"Okay, thank you. We'll look around here for now," Huo Yuhao said.
Receiving clear instructions, the girl said no more and left directly.
Wang Dong'er occasionally looked at this and that, showing high interest.
Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao and the others glanced at various displays from time to time.
Suddenly, Wang Dong'er tugged at Huo Yuhao, pointing to a display.
Inside the display, there was a golden-red soul bone floating within.
Below the display, there was an introduction to the soul bone.
Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone, produced by a ten-thousand-year Golden Earth Dragon King, light attribute. The estimated soul skill it could bring would be an attacking-type soul skill.
Though in reality, it brought an enhancement soul skill for Wang Dong'er, it actually yielded slightly better results than a purely attacking soul skill.
The price of the soul bone was also listed below: nine million five hundred thousand gold soul coins.
Wang Dong'er couldn't help but be amazed.
The price far exceeded her imagination, and this was just a soul bone from a ten-thousand-year-old beast.
Although it was only slightly over ten thousand years, due to its dragon lineage, the value of the soul bone was a bit higher than a regular ten-thousand-year soul bone.
"I'll go swipe the card," Ning Tian, finally finding a use for herself, noted down the item's number and went to swipe the card at the west side.
When Ning Tian returned, Huo Yuhao led the group to another display.
This display didn't seem remarkable; it presented itself as a black crystal-shaped object, dim and lifeless.
The sign below described the black crystal.
"Is this a Thousand-Year Whale Gel?" Wang Dong'er asked puzzledly. "Yuhao, you don't plan to buy it, do you? But the Thousand-Year Whale Gel should be golden and transparent in color. This piece doesn't seem to have high quality."
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly. "Low-quality has its uses. Dong'er, help me pay for it."
Saying so, Huo Yuhao took out his gold coin card, ready to hand it to Wang Dong'er.
