Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 88 "Take a break, Roman"

Roman watched Huo Yuhao's back as he walked into Su Nuo's room before turning away and looking at the increasingly dark night.

The clouds were exceptionally thick today, like a black curtain that completely swallowed up and submerged the connection between Douluo Star and the universe.

Because soul tools are not yet widespread in this world, they are still the privilege of a few soul masters. The so-called era of soul tools will not truly arrive until the invention of sealed milk bottles.

Therefore, the sky here is always clear enough to see the stars directly, and on a clear day you can even see the Milky Way.

The light from the stars gently caressed this life-bearing planet, as if welcoming it and protecting it.

The twinkling of the stars seemed to be some kind of code, waiting for life to decipher it.

Roman enjoyed the beautiful scenery, bathed in starlight, looking at the constellations and galaxies that were completely different from what Solomon remembered.

Sometimes, he would try to find the blue planet of his memories through the starry sky.

Even though he knew it was impossible, according to Huo Yuhao, this planet called Douluo Star was, in a sense, Earth of this world.

Roman thought this statement was a bit far-fetched.

Neither the environment nor the surrounding galaxies are similar to Earth here.

The only similarity is that the moon in the sky is similar to that blue planet in both size and distance from the planet.

"Squeak~"

The door to Su Nuo's room opened again, and Huo Yuhao stepped out. He stretched, looking slightly tired.

Huo Yuhao was exhausted from using his divine power to travel during the day and then infusing these children with martial spirits at night.

Roman waved to Huo Yuhao, who was somewhat surprised.

He came to his side and said:
"Why are you still here?"

"Aren't you going to get to work?"

Roman's smiling expression froze upon hearing these words.

He almost couldn't help but start fighting with Huo Yuhao. Listen to what a human being says!
It's already 3 a.m., and even Kobe Bryant will be up soon.

So you want me to go do work now?

Even capitalists aren't as ruthless as this bastard!

He and the other children, Bai Er, are all just dreamers, so why do they enjoy a peaceful life while Roman has to carry a heavy burden?

"Hey, it's already three o'clock!"

"Even a half-nightmare should rest!"

"You despicable, unscrupulous boss! I'm practically your child!"

"Children's discord is mostly due to the elders' lack of morality!"

Huo Yuhao looked at Roman with disdain and said:
"Bai E and the others are still minors, and there is a law protecting minors. How can you, an adult, be treated the same way?"

"It's already a favor that we're not throwing you out, and I'm even paying you a salary."

"Do you know how much effort it took for me and the little planet spirit to pull you out?"

"The little planet spirit modified and adjusted the planetary records for three million years before implanting your records into this world."

You haven't said thank you yet!

Seeing Roman's utterly dejected expression, Huo Yuhao smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and then turned and left.

He waved to him and said:

"Alright, I'll give you a few days off. Go back and eat your strawberry cake."

"After Bai E and the others awaken their martial souls, could you please take care of them for me?"

"Once you finish your work, I'll help you bring Magical Merry out to your room, and you can travel the world."

As Huo Yuhao reached the end of the corridor and turned to go down the stairs, he turned back to Roman and said:
"The rest was all a joke."

“Zuo Man’er reported to me that you’re working late into the night every day.” “There is no Goetia in this world, no one cares about incineration, and there are no singularities.”

"Well, Gaia does exist."

"There's only one dog-donkey here who thinks he can control his own destiny."

"So, take a break, Roman."

This time, Huo Yuhao's figure completely disappeared, and the long staircase returned to silence, with only the occasional sound of the wind blowing through the leaves of the photinia tree.

Roman had heard many children in the orphanage complain that the trees smelled particularly bad when they bloomed in April.

Although Roman felt the same way, he was just a doctor and not responsible for managing the orphanage's environment, so he was powerless to do anything about it.

"A break?"

Roman carefully pondered these words, seemingly trying to grasp their meaning.

"So... this is what humans are like?"

"What a wonderful feeling."

As the evening breeze blew, Roman habitually took out a can of coffee from his storage device, which he had bought from Ruilu.

Roman tapped the can lightly with his fingers, producing a clear sound, and after rubbing it for a while, he put the coffee back into his storage device.

Then he slowly walked to Feng Jin's door and left a book of his knowledge notes on the shelf by the door.

This book mainly contains magic knowledge that has been analyzed using alchemy.

Their knowledge level is average, at most involving Reality Marbles, and they haven't even fully analyzed Reality Marbles using alchemy.

In Roman's eyes, this knowledge of magic was just so-so.

This can be considered compensation for what I promised Feng Jin. The Human Order Incineration Method is really too dangerous; one wrong move and it creates another singularity.

Roman had also informed Huo Yuhao in advance that he would be giving Feng Jin some special knowledge.

Huo Yuhao glanced at the book that Luo Man had given to Feng Jin, read it carefully, and felt that the knowledge inside was not very dangerous, so he let it go.

In Huo Yuhao's eyes, Feng Jin was a very well-behaved and adorable child.

He longed to heal the sick and save lives, and perhaps in the future he could let her inherit his medical clinic in Xuanfeng City.

After finishing everything, Roman shook his white coat, smoothed his ponytail, and followed Huo Yuhao out of the dormitory building.

He decided to take a break.

The night wasn't long; it passed in the blink of an eye. Huo Yuhao couldn't get up at four in the morning like Lao Da.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the sunlight was already a little hot. Huo Yuhao had rested for a total of six hours, which was enough for a Soul Master.

Huo Yuhao opened the window and looked at the bustling crowds on the streets of Xilu City, occasionally seeing a few sheriffs managing the street order.

The concept of a sheriff was created by Huo Yuhao; it doesn't exist in the Douluo Continent. In other cities, street security is usually managed by military soldiers.

Huo Yuhao separated the responsibility of managing urban order and established a public security department.

The army in Douluo Continent is far too bloated!
He learned from Shrek's enthusiastic officers that he had successfully joined Shrek's city defense force.

Because they frequently sent money to the city defense forces and had Snow King Ice City and Kenlais of Shrek City give these Shrek City defense soldiers various preferential treatments.

Although that enthusiastic cadre was only at the Soul King level, he was personally appointed by the Time Douluo Shi Xing as the garrison officer of the south gate of Shrek City as soon as he joined the city defense army.

Shrek City can be freely entered and exited from the south, north, and west, while the east gate is reserved for Shrek Academy because it faces the Star Dou Great Forest to the east.

Right now, that enthusiastic cadre is frantically stuffing enthusiastic people into the Shrek City defense force. At least for now, the south gate of Shrek City is basically under enthusiastic control.

Because of Huo Sui'er, Xuanzi often came to inspect the situation at the South Gate, and would occasionally kill a few troublemakers, letting everyone in the city defense army know that Taotie Douluo would really take action for passion.

According to Shrek City's garrison report, their troops were responsible not only for the city's defense but also for maintaining order within the city and even collecting taxes.

There are many internal departments, but they are not closely connected and each has its own tasks.
