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

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, a greedy look immediately appeared on the stall owner's face. After selling blind boxes for so long, he could finally make a big profit.

The stall owner thought for a moment, then said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "One thousand contribution points?"

"A thousand contribution points?" Zheng Yiran curled her lips, then took the first-grade, thousand-forged item that Ning Peiya had just forged from her storage bracelet and threw it in front of the stall owner.

"This is a top-grade, thousand-forged item. Since you know about contribution points, I don't need to elaborate on the value of this finished product. It's no less than your offer."

Upon hearing this, the stall owner sitting on the small stool subconsciously swallowed. He could set up a stall in the black market of Shrek City... he must have some skills. With his discerning eye, he could naturally see the value of this finished product.

But... since the other party paid so readily, it feels a bit like a loss to only sell it for 1,000 contribution points.

Thinking of this, the stall owner gritted his teeth and feigned panic, saying, "I... I misspoke. It wasn't one thousand contribution points, it was five thousand!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yiran's expression changed instantly, and she stared at the stall owner with extremely sharp eyes.

Five thousand contribution points isn't much, but five thousand-forged first-grade items only amount to five hundred thousand Federal Credits. It's just a matter of buying a few less dresses, less than her monthly allowance.

But Zheng Yiran didn't want to be taken advantage of. Who knew if the other party would raise the price again after she offered resources worth 5,000 contribution points?

"Five thousand contribution points... I'll take them!"

Huo Yuhao took out a small black and gold card from his storage belt, then flicked it towards the stall owner. "I'm a new student, and I don't have many contribution points on my student card, so I can only pay for goods with Federal Credits. This card has 500,000 Federal Credits on it. You can have someone you trust check it at a bank officially run by the Federal government."

"No need for that."

The stall owner hurriedly took out a device that looked like a POS machine from his storage ring, swiped the black and gold card on it, and a line of numbers appeared in front of him.

"There is indeed a deposit of 500,000 federal dollars."

The stall owner nodded, not in a hurry to make a transaction, but instead turned his attention to Zheng Yiran.

As a businessman, it doesn't matter who comes first; what matters is selling your goods at a price you desire.

Zheng Yiran strongly suspected that Huo Yuhao was in cahoots with the stall owner.

Or perhaps Huo Yuhao was a shill hired by the stall owner.

Otherwise, how could Huo Yuhao have suddenly appeared and started fighting over the sword the moment Ning Peiya picked it up?

Zheng Yiran originally intended to leave, but when she saw Ning Peiya tightly holding the long sword in her arms, she quickly changed her mind.

Regardless of the actual value of that longsword, what matters is Ning Peiya's value as a person; she surely understands the principle of "spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones."

"One million Federal Credits, Huo Yuhao, are you trying to challenge the Zheng family?"

Zheng Yiran rolled her eyes at Huo Yuhao, then flicked a black and gold card in front of the stall owner.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao almost ground his back teeth to powder.

If Tianmeng Ice Silkworm hadn't told him that the longsword was emitting fluctuations of divine power, how could he have possibly competed with Ning Peiya and Zheng Yiran for a rusty longsword?

Given the current situation, he certainly doesn't have the resources to compete with the eldest daughter of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent family in terms of wealth and status.

snort!

Huo Yuhao snorted coldly, then stepped forward, snatched back his gold card, and walked away without looking back.

Upon hearing the words "Zheng family," the stall owner trembled instantly. As a black market merchant who operated in the shadows, he knew very well who he could mess with and who he couldn't.

Seeing Huo Yuhao walk away, the stall owner hurriedly took the gold card and respectfully handed it to Zheng Yiran. "Ladies, I apologize for my rudeness just now. How could I possibly have the audacity to ask you for one million Federal Credits? A finished product of the first grade of a thousand-forged sword is more than enough."

The stall owner was somewhat sensible; he knew who he could mess with and who he couldn't. He couldn't possibly stay in Shrek City forever!

"You do have some sense."

Zheng Yiran pouted, quickly took Ning Peiya's arm, and walked away chatting and laughing.

Soon, the two women left the black market and were preparing to return to Shrek Academy when, as they passed through a deserted alley, a figure suddenly rushed out from the shadows.

"Huo Yuhao, what are you doing?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ning Peiya conjured a seven-story, seven-colored pagoda, which, like a rapidly spinning top, hurtled towards Huo Yuhao.

"What kind of attack method is this?"

Seeing that his soul attack had been neutralized by the two people's spiritual skulls, Huo Yuhao simply emptied his body to withstand Ning Peiya's attack in the face of the sudden attack from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

boom!

The moment Huo Yuhao touched the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he was unsurprisingly flung away and landed directly in front of the patrolling law enforcement team.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Who's there? Come out now! A private fight isn't a big deal. As long as it doesn't result in death or maiming, there's still room for reconciliation. But if you stubbornly resist... that's a different story."

Upon seeing Huo Yuhao lying in a pool of blood, the captain of the enforcement team hurriedly stepped forward, his right index finger trembling as he pointed towards the depths of the alley.

Ning Peiya and Zheng Yiran walked out of the alley with calm expressions.

"We want to see His Holiness the Holy Spirit. If His Holiness the Holy Spirit does not come, we will not say anything."

Zheng Yiran raised her hands high, and her slightly deep voice spread throughout the entire street through her soul power.

She knew very well that this kind of thing... absolutely could not be handled by Cai Yue'er. That person was always willful and capricious, and could not possibly make a fair judgment.

The scene shifts to the office of the Dean of the Foreign Languages ​​Department at Shrek Academy.

Cai Yue'er stood in front of Zheng Yiran and Ning Peiya, her face terribly gloomy.

"Tell me, why did you attack Huo Yuhao?"

"We want to see His Holy Spirit!"

"You've been caught red-handed, what are you still resisting for? Confess the truth!"

"We want to see His Holy Spirit!"

"Your Holiness the Holy Spirit! Your Holiness the Holy Spirit! If you have any grievances, why can't you tell me? Why do you have to go to Your Holiness the Holy Spirit? In your eyes, am I, Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er, incapable of making a fair judgment?"

"We want to see His Holy Spirit!"

Zheng Yiran raised her head, looked at the old woman Cai in front of her, and said in an icy tone, "Dean Cai, if His Holiness the Holy Spirit doesn't come, we won't say anything. If you insist on punishing us, we'll kneel and die before the statue of the original Shrek Seven Devils!" (End of this chapter)
