In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Chapter 22. Huo Yuhao finally realized his shortcomings.

Just then, two ordinary-looking female students came to the stall and squatted down, starting to play with the most eye-catching tin frog among the pile of toys.

Surprisingly, it's quite fun. Just wind it up, and the tin frog will hop forward with a "ribbit, ribbit, ribbit" sound. You can even adjust the height of the frog's jump. Seeing such an exquisite toy can indeed brighten the eyes of these Soul Masters who haven't seen much of the world.

"Junior, how much are these tin frogs?"

One of the female Soul Masters shook the tin frog in her hand and said with a smile.

Huo Yuhao replied, "Ten gold soul coins, no bargaining."

"Ten gold soul coins? That's not too expensive."

The female soul master opened her pouch, carefully counted the twenty gold soul coins, and placed them in a row in front of Huo Yuhao.

Immediately, she picked up the two tin frogs and put them into her storage bracelet.

Another female Soul Master picked up a plastic box of popping candy, looked in Huo Yuhao's direction, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Junior, is this also a toy? How do you play with it?"

Huo Yuhao quickly took out the instruction manual from his storage ring, turned to the corresponding page, and subconsciously began to read it aloud.

"To use, first clean the popping candy thoroughly, then slowly place it in the grove of trees, turn it on, and you'll experience..."

(P.S.: I can't post Huo Yuhao's exact words, so please use your imagination.)

"rogue!"

Two female Soul Masters slapped Huo Yuhao on the left and right, then hurriedly got up and ran away with their faces flushed.

In an instant, Huo Yuhao froze on the spot. Why would those two female soul masters suddenly attack him?

It's not really the girl's fault for hitting you. You should blame Huo Yuhao for having such low emotional intelligence. You knew it was an indecent toy. If you had just been more subtle or handed her the instruction manual, it wouldn't have come to this.

Feeling the pain on his cheek, Huo Yuhao felt inexplicably angry. This was utterly unreasonable! If you don't want to buy it, fine, but you have to slap him in the face like that. Even his mother has never hit him like that.

After adjusting his mindset, Huo Yuhao sat back down in his seat and continued hawking his wares.

Not long after, a burly male student approached Huo Yuhao's stall, picked up the half-body doll, and carefully weighed it in his hand. "Junior, this doll is unusually heavy. Besides being pleasing to the eye, does it have some other function?"

Huo Yuhao loudly explained, "Senior, don't underestimate this doll. It's a one-to-one replica of a girl's body. You can..."

"Shh! Shh! Shh!" The male student looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them before whispering, "Junior, keep your voice down, this is something you can't talk about."

Huo Yuhao said nonchalantly, "Hey, senior, what's so hard to say? If you don't have a girlfriend, you can totally buy one. You can use it not only as a body pillow at night, but also to vent your frustrations..."

"Are you crazy?! I have a girlfriend!" The burly male student glared at Huo Yuhao, barely suppressing the urge to beat him up, and hurriedly ran away.

"Senior, don't go! If you're really serious about buying, I'll give you a 90% discount—no, I mean a 20% discount! Don't go!"

Huo Yuhao's voice grew louder and louder, but the louder he spoke, the faster the burly male student ran. It was so damn embarrassing.

All afternoon, the entire afternoon, Huo Yuhao hadn't sold many items, which frustrated him greatly. For humans, marriage is a very common thing, and that kind of thing is naturally commonplace too, so why does everyone seem to avoid adult products like the plague?

Huo Yuhao was furious, trembling with rage. Since his rebirth, not a single day had gone smoothly for him.

That evening, Huo Yuhao arrived at the cafeteria right on time and found Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Mo Lian. He recounted everything that had happened that day and handed over the storage ring that Mo Lian had given him. He bluntly stated that he was not up to the task of being a salesman.

puff!

Beibei couldn't help but laugh out loud, which was quite unkind of her.

Huo Yuhao asked with a puzzled look, "Senior Brother Bei Bei, what are you laughing at?"

Beibei said, "I wasn't laughing at anything, I just suddenly remembered something happy."

"What's making you happy?" Huo Yuhao pressed.

"Xiaoya's birthday is coming up," Beibei said with a strange expression.

puff!

Tang Ya couldn't help but laugh out loud, which was quite unkind of her.

"Sister Xiaoya, what are you laughing at here again?" Huo Yuhao's face showed a hint of displeasure.

Tang Ya blurted out, "I... my birthday is next month."

"You, your birthday was a month ago, you...you're clearly laughing at me." Huo Yuhao was so angry that he jumped up and down. He had suffered so much injustice, and instead of comforting him, his fellow members of the Tang Clan were mocking him with excuses that were meant to fool a three-year-old.

Tang Ya chuckled, "Xiao Yuhao, that's a bit inappropriate. Selling something is fine, but how can you loudly proclaim the uses of popping candy in front of two girls? That's practically indecent!"

"That's right, that's right," Bei Bei chimed in. "Junior Brother, don't look down on those vendors. To sell an item to the right person, you need a certain skill..."

Once Bei Bei started talking, she began to educate Huo Yuhao on the basic qualities a businessman should possess, as well as the things to pay attention to when doing business.

In fact, Beibei didn't really understand this kind of thing; she had just systematically learned some skills as the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

As a leader, you don't need to know all the skills, but you can't be completely ignorant of them. A Soul Master who is all brawn and no brains can't be a leader.

After hearing these words, Huo Yuhao felt dizzy and instinctively wanted to refute Bei Bei.

In his previous life, he had never studied this kind of thing, yet he didn't suffer any losses when making transactions with crown princes like Xu Jiujiu and Vina.

But... what happened this afternoon really hurt his pride. Could he not do what he could do in his past life?

Or perhaps... in his past life, he relied on his extraordinary talent to force Xu Jiujiu and Vina to make concessions to him?

In reality, is Huo Yuhao a business idiot, lacking innate talent and destined to achieve nothing?

Huo Yuhao was unwilling, very unwilling. At this moment, he finally realized his shortcomings.
