Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 299 The Five Gather, Tang San Roars at Yu Xiaogang

Dugu Bo felt that he had become completely disconnected from society after coming out this time.

No matter how Dugu Yan explained it to him, the knowledge seemed like a jumbled mess of fragments, which only made him more confused.

This made him sigh, Yan Yan really didn't have much experience in teaching people!

After patiently listening to Dugu Yan's explanation, Dugu Bo suddenly thought of something.

Those who have undergone more than one year of labor reform will receive a training course from the Spirit Hall upon their release.

I've heard other people who have undergone rehabilitation say that the purpose of this training program is to help those who have been rehabilitated adapt to society more easily.

He recalled that after he came out, he had been focused on restoring his soul power and checking the changes in his martial soul, and had completely forgotten this important information.

It's not too late to think about it now. He then shared his thoughts with Dugu Yan and decided to attend the training course. He believed that not only would he learn some new knowledge and skills, but it would also make it easier for him to adapt to society.

Dugu Yan was also unaware of such training courses for the first time. She thought it was quite interesting that her grandfather, who was so old, was attending such a training course.

She didn't have any objections; she had lost all motivation to strive and was basically in a "laid-back" state.

Whether it's Tang San or the Spirit Hall, the final outcome won't have much impact on her.

As long as her grandfather is around, everything else is a trivial matter to her.

Because of her work, Dugu Yan couldn't keep her strength hidden forever, and now the strength she has shown to the outside world has reached the level of a Title Douluo.

In Wuhun City today, a titled Douluo is nothing special.

Basically, every family has a titled Douluo in charge.

The Spirit Hall's external detection devices can only detect data of Spirit Masters below level 99, and cannot detect Dugu Yan's true strength.

Unless they use the device Jerry has that can detect data on god-level powerhouses.

There aren't many god-level powerhouses now, so Jerry hasn't publicly revealed this detection device that can detect god-level powerhouses.

After all, putting aside the cost, the setup of this body analyzer is very complicated, and only Jerry could make it.

If this kind of body detection device were to become widespread now, very few people would be able to use it, which would be a complete waste. So right now, only Jerry has a body detection device that can detect the body of a god-level powerhouse.

As for Oscar and Ma Hongjun, they have truly made their businesses big and powerful, and are now influential figures whose fame has spread throughout the entire mainland.

Wherever there is a city, you can find branches of the Food Appreciation Association. Their numbers are almost as numerous as the Spirit Hall's branches in every city.

Because this association can drive local economic development, and the taxes it pays each year far exceed those of many large cities, even if the people of the Spirit Hall feel that it is a bit inappropriate for them to open so many branches, they just turn a blind eye as long as there are no violations.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun had other purposes in opening so many movies.

Under the guise of collecting gourmet food and developing the city's economy, they were secretly gathering intelligence on each city.

Their intelligence gathering activities could not be kept secret from the Spirit Hall's information department.

The relevant authorities located Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

The two remained calm in the face of questioning from the Spirit Hall. Being approached by the Spirit Hall was something they had expected.

Their answer was that intelligence gathering was for the purpose of better developing branches in each location.

They illustrated with examples that if a city is developing well, the food association will conduct a comprehensive analysis after receiving information and decide whether to invest heavily in that city.

If an investment is made, the food association staff will personally introduce various cuisines to the city, and with the introduction of these cuisines, the city's development will be further enhanced.

Therefore, they collect intelligence for legitimate business purposes and do not use it for any other illegal purposes.

Meanwhile, Oscar and Ma Hongjun also provided information on the development of several cities.

After verification by the Spirit Hall, it was found that the introduction of gourmet food by the Culinary Association had indeed boosted the development of the entire city. Therefore, the Spirit Hall personnel stopped pursuing the matter of collecting intelligence.

The Spirit Hall made it clear to them that collecting intelligence was acceptable, but it must never be used for illegal purposes.

They warned the Food Association that the Spirit Hall would no longer show leniency if any violations were made.

After reaching a consensus, Oscar and Ma Hongjun continued their culinary careers while also constantly gathering and sharing information about the city.

After Tang San returned to Wuhun City, he immediately notified the others.

The moonlight, clear and gentle, spilled across the night sky like a piece of fine silk.

The moon hangs in the sky, its round outline appearing even more distinct amidst the surrounding stars.

Its silvery-gray luster, though somewhat cold, is full of mystery and poetry.

The moonlight illuminated the entire city, making everything quiet and mysterious.

The whole world was gently enveloped in the moonlight, and everything seemed so peaceful and serene.

The moonlight is so beautiful, it's like a poem or a painting, captivating and enchanting.

At this moment, Tang San was in no mood to appreciate anything.

A privately owned courtyard house belonging to the Wuhun City Food Association.

The courtyard is planted with trees and flowers, adding a touch of natural beauty to the entire yard.

Place some potted plants and flowers around the yard to make the whole yard more lively and vibrant.

Tang San sat alone in the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, waiting for the others to arrive.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun arrived first and greeted Tang San warmly.

Tang San suddenly felt that the two of them were now speaking more tactfully, completely different from before.

Soon after, Yu Xiaogang arrived. He first observed that Dugu Yan had not yet arrived, so he sat down and chatted with the others.

Dugu Yan arrived very late; she was on the night patrol today, which caused the delay.

The main issue is that this gathering was organized on short notice, and the timing wasn't right.

However, Dugu Yan didn't care. She was just going through the motions by coming here.

Everyone finally gathered, and Tang San was getting a little impatient, since he had been waiting the longest.

Although Oscar and Ma Hongjun were slightly dissatisfied, they quickly concealed their dissatisfaction.

Yu Xiaogang didn't mind. As long as Dugu Yan came, no matter how late it was, he was willing to wait, since he had important news to share today.

"Dugu Yan, look at the time! We have important matters to discuss at this gathering. You're making everyone wait for you."

After Dugu Yan sat down, Tang San said uneasily.

Dugu Yan looked around and saw that the others had chosen to remain silent and hadn't spoken up for her, which made Dugu Yan a little angry.

"Tang San, I still have work to do. I'll come over as soon as I'm done. We always notify each other in advance for our gatherings. If you're going to notify us at the last minute, please consider our schedules!"

Dugu Yan said bluntly that she was giving up now and didn't care how Tang San felt.

"Dugu Yan, work? Do you really enjoy working for the Spirit Hall that much? You're willing to miss our gathering for work! Don't you know your place?"

Tang San didn't hold back either, and spoke loudly to Dugu Yan.

"Tang San, are you out of your mind? You work for the Spirit Hall yourself. When you criticize me, have you ever thought about your own situation?"

"Dugu Yan, I no longer work for the Spirit Hall. I worked for the Spirit Hall before to gather information and learn knowledge, not because I was truly working for the Spirit Hall."

"Haha, what a joke! You have your own motives, so you can say you're not genuinely working for the Spirit Hall. Well, I have my own motives too. Besides, you were the one who devised the infiltration plan, encouraging everyone to climb the ranks. If I don't work, how am I supposed to climb the ranks?"

Tang San was about to continue speaking when Yu Xiaogang interrupted him.

"Alright, stop arguing, Dugu Yan. Tang San has urgent business to attend to. He's been waiting for too long and is getting a little impatient. Don't take it personally."

"Tang San, calm down. We're all friends on the same side, there's no need to make things unpleasant over such a small matter."

Oscar and Ma Hongjun, seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, also started to smooth things over.

"Now that everyone's here, let's talk about how we're all doing now!"

Yu Xiaogang spoke first, as he didn't want to talk about his own affairs first; important things would be discussed last.

"Let me go first! As for the current situation of Ma Hongjun and me, the Food Association now has branches in almost every city, and the number will soon surpass that of the Spirit Hall branches."

"At the same time, our intelligence system has been established. It can be said that our current sources of information and accuracy are second only to the Spirit Hall's Information Department."

Oscar didn't ramble on; he went straight to the point.

Oscar's words, though spoken in a calm and understated manner, had a profound impact on the others.

Establishing an intelligence system right under the nose of the Spirit Hall is no easy task.

Moreover, Oscar said that there are food association branches in various cities, and the number is about to surpass that of the Spirit Hall branches, which is great news.

After the Spirit Hall is overthrown, the Food Association's branches will be able to pacify every city directly, which is the best news in many years.

Unexpectedly, Oscar and Ma Hongjun accomplished such a significant task without even realizing it.

"Oscar, Ma Hongjun, you two are really great! You're amazing! Now, let me tell you about my situation!"

"I am currently the captain of the patrol team in Wuhun City. Before long, my old leader will be promoted, and the position will be vacant. He recommended me to take over his position. At that time, all the patrol teams in Wuhun City will be under my management."

"At that time, I will be able to mobilize all the patrol teams of the Spirit Hall. If I do a good job, I will be promoted again and enter the military headquarters of the Spirit Hall."

"After all, the patrol team is only responsible for maintaining order within the city. The real guardians of Wuhun City are the troops stationed here."

"So my goal is to eventually get into the military."

Dugu Yan's words silenced the others instantly.

No matter what they do, they will never be as effective as Dugu Yan, who commands the army.

In essence, strength is very important in this world, and an army is also a symbol of strength.

With Dugu Yan's abilities, she will rise through the ranks very quickly after entering the military.

Moreover, the military can directly access all the information from the Information Department. Compared to this, what Oscar and Ma Hongjun did was something Dugu Yan could easily do in the future.

"Dugu Yan, you're really something, you have such foresight."

Oscar spoke from the heart at that moment.

He knew what was going on with his own intelligence system, which was now being monitored by the Information Department, so he had to be very careful in everything he did.

There are some things I don't dare to inquire about.

To put it bluntly, the information we can gather right now is only about minor matters.

Once Dugu Yan joins the military, she will be able to directly access information from the Information Department, which will make her far more powerful than they are.

Therefore, Oscar genuinely admired Dugu Yan. Although their methods of action differed, he understood the difficulties involved.

Ma Hongjun had a similar expression, seemingly understanding the weight of Dugu Yan's words.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar have been doing practical work and have had a lot of contact with the Spirit Hall.

Getting into the military isn't just about having ability; it involves many aspects and is something that ordinary people simply can't do.

The fact that Dugu Yan could say so confidently that she could enter the military suggests that she had done a lot of work behind the scenes and gained the appreciation of the people associated with the Spirit Hall.

Ma Hongjun couldn't help but admire Dugu Yan.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were somewhat dismissive after hearing this.

After all, both of them were all talk and no action, and they thought that what Dugu Yan said was nothing at all.

Tang San didn't even consider that he had been a guard at the Spirit Hall Academy for so many years, while many of his colleagues had been promoted, and he himself had remained stagnant.

If Tang San could understand these things, then he would understand how formidable Dugu Yan was.

Yu Xiaogang's disdain was directed at everyone. You all relied on the Spirit Hall to develop, while he achieved everything entirely through his own efforts.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and saw that Tang San didn't seem to be going to speak, so he decided to speak first.

He could already imagine the admiring looks he would receive after he finished speaking, and he couldn't wait to do it.

Tang San said it was nothing. Yu Xiaogang already knew what Tang San had just said. Tang San is no longer working at the Spirit Hall, so there shouldn't be any important news.

Therefore, explaining one's situation before Tang San does not affect anything.

"Then let me mention it too! A master soul tool designer has recently emerged in Wuhun City. He has designed 130 soul tool schemes with a 100% success rate, and he is famous for this in the entire soul tool master circle."

"And this renowned master of soul tools design in the soul master circle is me!"

After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, he touched a non-existent beard and pretended to be profound.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar didn't react much.

What is the design of a soul tool?

Why don't you just buy the soul tool you need?

Upon hearing this, Tang San suddenly looked up and stared intently at Yu Xiaogang.

"Therefore, Yu Xiaogang, you provided Wuhun City with design proposals for 130 soul tools, including life soul tools, medical soul tools, combat soul tools, auxiliary soul tools, and so on."

Tang San stared at Yu Xiaogang and said seriously.

Yu Xiaogang was also taken aback by Tang San's reaction, wondering why he was behaving this way, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang, I have no objection if you want to become a master, I have no objection if you want to design soul tools, the key question is why you want to release and sell them? Is it for fame?"

"You've learned about soul tools, so you should know how amazing they are."

"Every soul tool has its own purpose."

"The beginner's guide to Soul Guidance states that the use of Soul Guidance Devices is diverse and not limited to the current application. It's just that we haven't found any other uses for this Soul Guidance Device yet."

"The reason why your soul tool design is so highly regarded is not only because of its perfect design, but also because you later deduced how to use it in practice."

"Your design proposals really take all aspects into consideration."

"Furthermore, most of your designs were purchased by students from the Spirit Hall Academy. After they manufactured them and verified their practicality, the Spirit Hall would put them into production. You're essentially aiding the enemy!"

Tang San practically roared out his last words.

At first, Yu Xiaogang found Tang San's words quite agreeable. As expected of someone who knew about soul tools, his reaction was different from the other three.

But the last sentence completely stunned him.

I just wanted a reputation to prove myself, how did that become aiding the enemy?

Aren't they just some design schemes for soul tools?

It's no big deal.
