Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 46 Purchasing the White Jade Belt

Following Tang San, Xiao Wu learned many principles of life and conduct, and thus she remembered his teachings.

The two then left the Barak Forest.

Tang San took Xiao Wu to a restaurant and asked the chef to cook the Wood Spirit Mushroom. They ate it together before preparing to return to Notting City.

After passing outside Soto City, Tang San lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Shrek Academy recruiting students, but he did not get off to join the fun. He simply told the driver to go into the city.

Soto is larger than Nottingham and has shops that sell soul tools.

Tang San decided to buy two soul tools for storage.

Tang San had ideas about researching soul tools, but with 20,000 gold soul coins, he couldn't afford too many. He could only buy soul tools for storage first, so as to avoid having to carry big bags and small bags every time he hunted souls, which would be too troublesome.

Qibao Pavilion.

Tang San looked at the branch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that had opened in Soto City and led Xiao Wu inside.

Although it's just a branch, it's much more impressive than other stores that sell everyday soul tools. The floor is made of reflective marble, and the counter is made of transparent glass, displaying all sorts of everyday soul tools.

To be honest, sometimes Tang San didn't understand the level of production technology that Douluo Continent had reached.

If we're talking about being backward, they were able to make transparent glass, yet they still used it as a counter.

But if we're talking about advanced technology, Tang San noticed along his journey that most people still travel by horse-drawn carriage and rely on people to deliver messages.

Therefore, Tang San guessed that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was likely able to produce glass because it possessed soul tools capable of making glass.

However, it's not necessarily true that all methods for making soul tools were lost in the Douluo Continent.

After all, aren't everyday soul tools sold?

It's highly likely that everyday soul tools don't require high-quality materials and have simple soul patterns, making them relatively easy to replicate. However, no one seems to have considered the specific principles behind them, such as why the soul patterns are replicated in that way, or why the soul lamp can glow under the influence of soul power and the soul fan can rotate and blow air under the influence of soul power.

To make a comparison, it's like the concrete that Tang San knew in his previous life. It's made by mixing cement powder, sand, gravel, water, etc. in the appropriate proportions, and it can be used as a building material. But why must it be in such a specific proportion? What is the specific principle behind it?

This is something that no one in the modern society of the previous life had yet figured out.

They all thought it would work, so they started using it.

Those who make life-saving soul tools on the mainland probably have similar thoughts: regardless of the principle behind the soul tool pattern, as long as it can be replicated and used, then use it for now.

Xiao Wu examined each of the soul tools, completely unaware of their function, but Tang San could guess some of them, since the shapes of these soul tools resembled some electrical appliances from his previous life.

Perhaps, given the human body's structure, products that make life easier tend to have similar appearances, even though the power sources differ due to different environments.

"Young guests, what would you like to buy?" A smiling waiter approached Tang San and Xiao Wu and introduced, "We have all kinds of everyday soul tools here, at affordable prices, which will surely satisfy you."

Although Tang San and Xiao Wu were dressed in relatively simple clothes, their appearances were absolutely handsome and beautiful, and they were definitely not children from ordinary families.

Especially this girl, with such long hair, so clean and smooth, children from ordinary families wouldn't spend time taking care of their hair.

Therefore, these two must be young masters and ladies from wealthy families, just disguised as commoners.

Unfortunately, she is too young and inexperienced. Just based on her appearance, she wouldn't be considered an ordinary person.

"Hello, I'd like to buy two storage soul tools, priced under 20,000 gold soul coins. Do you have any suitable ones?" Tang San asked.

"Yes." The waiter was already certain that the two were not commoners, since commoners couldn't afford gold soul coins, especially not 20,000. "Please wait at the rest table over there. We will bring over suitable storage soul tools for you to choose from later. You can also enjoy the snacks and drinks at the nearby counter for free."

"Thank you for your help." Tang San replied politely, and then walked with Xiao Wu to the rest table. Xiao Wu was not polite at all and took a lot of pastries, cookies and other sweets from the counter. She also took two cups and filled them with orange juice from the water dispenser-like device.

"Here you go." Xiao Wu handed a cup to Tang San, then ate some pastries and drank some juice, her cheeks puffed out, clearly enjoying herself.

When the waiter came over with three sets of storage soul tools, he saw a large pile of desserts on the table and began to doubt whether he had guessed wrong.

After all, the way Xiao Wu ate really made her look like a commoner child trying to get free snacks and juice.

"Let me introduce them to you." The waiter secretly adjusted his mindset and smiled. "The first set is called storage rings. Each ring has a white gemstone and a half-cubic-meter storage space inside. Each ring costs five thousand gold soul coins, and the total cost is ten thousand gold soul coins."

"The second set is called the Glazed Wristband. It can be worn on the wrist. The gems on it are one red and one blue, each with a cubic space. Each gem costs nine thousand gold soul coins, for a total of eighteen thousand."

"The last set is a white jade belt. Each belt has four transparent gems, each with half a cubic meter of space, for a total of two cubic meters. Originally, this set would cost 20,000 per belt based on the value of a storage soul tool, but each gem on the belt can only hold half a cubic meter, which affects the value. So the total is 20,000."

Tang San thought for a while and chose the last set: a white jade belt.

The glass wristbands were actually quite good, but Tang San felt that the white jade belt was more suitable for him. After all, it had four gems, which allowed for four different categories, so he didn't have to put his daily necessities, food, money, and soul beast corpses in the same space.

Each gem is only half a cubic meter, so the space is indeed a bit small, but it's enough for him for now. He can buy a soul tool with a larger storage space when he makes more money in the future.

"I'll just buy the last set." Tang San took out the two soul cards he got from Ning Rongrong and also showed off the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's token.

You can get a 30% discount.

Upon seeing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's token, the waiter confirmed its authenticity without asking how Tang San obtained it. He swiped the card and returned both cards to Tang San, saying, "Young guests, these two white jade belts are yours."

Tang San took the box, handed one of the items to Xiao Wu, and then put all his personal belongings into the four spaces, immediately feeling relaxed.

Xiao Wu also tied the belt around her waist and experimented with the storage function of the snacks on the table, having a great time. The only thing that made the waiter's eyes twitch was that she never took out the snacks she put into the belt.

Isn't this taking advantage of others too much?

Although the snacks were indeed free.
