Douluo's Black Tower

Chapter 36 36. Special, extremely poor
"...Our Shrek Academy only accepts monsters, you go!"

"Repay my registration fee!"

"Hmph, it's Shrek Academy's rule that the registration fee is non-refundable!"

"If you don't retreat, we won't leave today!"

...

Hearing the noise from the Shrek Academy registration office in the distance, Zhou Ting couldn't help but quicken his pace and watch the show.

His melon-eating behavior made Zhu Zhuqing shake his head helplessly, but his movements were not slow at all.

"Xiao San, this Shrek Academy is quite special!"

When Zhou Ting heard Xiao Wu's familiar voice in front of him, he curled his lips and thought to himself: "It's quite special, very poor!"

Not to mention that it can only be built in a dilapidated village, with all kinds of facilities, and even food for the students cannot be guaranteed.

The dean even ran out to open a small shop and sell some junk goods at extremely expensive prices. He was a complete profiteer.

"Mubai..."

Dai Mubai descended from the sky and immediately began to show his holiness in front of people. As soon as the two yellow and one purple soul rings around his body appeared, he immediately blinded the eyes of all the dogs.

"Millennium Soul Ring!"

"It's Soul Lord!"

Dai Mubai said extremely domineeringly.

"The registration fee is refundable, just call me!"

The father and son who failed to register were speechless and could only escape miserably.

Zhou Ting shook his head when he saw this.

"Alas, this Shrek Academy is really... stingy!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked into Zhou Ting's eyes curiously and asked.

"Is that why you don't want to sign up?"

Zhou Ting scanned the surrounding environment. This was an ordinary village, and the nearby flowers, plants and trees were also ordinary.

There are not even century-old trees.

Zhou Ting shook his head, not fooling her this time.

"This is not a place for me to practice!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded clearly and said nothing more.

Zhou Ting looked at the team in front and then at Shrek Academy. As soon as his eyes rolled, a good idea came to his mind.

He left the queue and said to Zhu Zhuqing.

"You can line up yourself, I have something to do!"

Zhu Zhuqing just nodded in response, staring at the triumphant Dai Mubai, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhou Ting didn't care and quickly bypassed the team.

It's said to be the gate of Shrek Academy, but it's actually just a dilapidated wooden frame with a plaque on it, and I don't know how to renovate it.

There are clearly soul emperors in the academy who are over 60 levels, and he is the old man who uses a stick to feel the soul at the door.

There are even two soul saints who are over 70 levels, Dean Flanders and Vice Dean Zhao Wuji.

But even with such a strong man, he managed a soul master academy so poorly.

It’s really... hard to rate!
Zhou Ting didn't pay attention to what happened next at the registration office. At this time, he was already strolling in a village.

After walking for a while, Shrek's playground suddenly appeared in front of him.

He smiled smugly.

"Who said you have to join Shrek Academy to get in!"

The next moment, Zhou Ting ran to an old man sunbathing and said with a smile.

"Uncle, let me ask you something!"

The gray-haired old man looked at the mask on Zhou Ting's face, his eyes searching, and asked.

"what's up?"

"Uncle, I want to rent a house here and stay here for a while!"

The old man looked at Zhou Ting and then at Shrek Academy, which was one meter away. He suddenly smiled, stood up and said with great enthusiasm.

"Yes, of course it is possible, but the minimum rent for renting a house in our village is three months!"

"Oh, how much does it cost per month?"

The old man walked slowly, one after another, as if he was thinking.

Suddenly, a cunning look flashed in his eyes, he smiled with wrinkles on his face, stretched out a withered yellow finger and said.

"A silver coin!" Zhou Ting frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied.

This price is a bit too high, think about Tang San, when he first worked in the blacksmith shop for a month, he only earned one silver coin.

Now, this old shabby little room in the country dared to charge him a silver coin for a month. This old man really thought he was taken advantage of!

The smile on Zhou Ting's face disappeared instantly, he turned around and left without any regrets.

The old man froze on the spot, dumbfounded for a moment.

This kid...why doesn't he act according to common sense? Why should he pay back the price?

Why did you turn around and leave without saying a word?
Seeing that the duck he got was about to fly away, the old man could not sit still and shouted loudly.

"Hey, little brother, don't leave, the price can still be negotiated!"

The income from farming in the countryside is extremely limited, leaving only a few silver coins every year.

Nowadays, it is not easy to encounter someone offering money, and you must not let it go.

When the old man saw that Zhou Ting ignored him, he immediately got up his legs and feet, ran a few steps quickly, grabbed Zhou Ting's sleeve and said.

"Little brother, don't worry, the price is negotiable. Besides, my house is the closest to Shrek Academy. You can see whatever they do!"

Zhou Ting was speechless, this old guy was going to kill himself

Think you are here to steal your master.

However, it was because of this perfect location that he asked.

With a slight wave of his hand, the old man, who was just an ordinary person, naturally couldn't grasp Zhou Ting's sleeves.

He asked with a cold face and no emotion.

"I'm only asking once, how much is it?"

The little old man was making crazy calculations in his mind, but he didn't know what price to give.

One minute later, Zhou Ting's patience was almost exhausted and he turned around to leave.

The little old man finally realized something was wrong and shouted hurriedly.

"One silver coin for three months!"

Zhou Ting nodded expressionlessly, took out a silver coin bullet and gave it to him, saying.

"I want the one with the window on the second floor!"

"Ok, no problem!"

Looking at the silver coins he got, the little old man was very happy.

This unused dilapidated room in his house was just sitting there gathering dust and had no value.

But now, renting one silver coin to the masked man for three months would be a huge profit.

Those were silver coins, and their family couldn't earn many in a year.

That's it, as long as nothing happens at home.

This time, I really made a lot of money.

The little old man was overjoyed, put away the silver coins, and shouted to the house behind him.

"Old lady, quickly clean out the room by the window on the second floor so that our distinguished guests can rest early!"

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Then, the old man turned to Zhou Ting and asked with a flattering look.

"Little brother, do you want us to provide food..."

Zhou Ting waved his hand and refused.

"No, I will find a place to eat by myself!"

The little old man was a little disappointed, but when he saw Zhou Ting's silky clothes, he understood instantly.

"Also, ordinary farm food is not good enough for you."

"It's not a matter of deserving it. Soul master training requires a lot of meat, and you can't provide it."

The old man suddenly smiled bitterly.

Yes, there is indeed no meat in his house.

Zhou Ting suddenly saw a familiar figure appearing in the square clutch bag, and immediately explained to the little old man.

"Get me some hot water, I'll need it when I get back tonight!"

"it is good."

There is plenty of hot water for cooking at home, and the old man readily agreed and didn’t even ask for a surcharge.
