From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 188: Which Spirit Hall elder left behind the foundation for that technology guild? [Please subscribe]

If the Technology Chamber of Commerce is the most intellectually vibrant place on the Douluo Continent, representing the pinnacle of wisdom, it is the absolute force driving this era forward.

So, people like Chen Lin and Ning Quan, with their exceptional comprehension, are standing on the shoulders of giants, at the forefront of the times, with their eyes open to the world, thanks to the advanced and open technological thinking of the Science and Technology Chamber of Commerce.

While Chen Hong was engrossed in his research and time flew by, Chen Lin and Ning Quan had grown to a point that surprised Chen Hong and left him somewhat bewildered, all without his notice.

Chen Hong was surprised not by the height of their thinking, but by the speed at which their thinking was growing.

"What my uncle said can basically be taken as my meaning. The only point that needs to be added is that, with the support of soul tools, the productivity of ordinary people is not much weaker than that of soul masters. Promoting education for the common people is conducive to liberating the productivity of this world and creating a world of material abundance."

Chen Hong nodded slightly, acknowledging Ning Quan's interpretation, and offered his own additions.

Ning Lu's gaze swept over Chen Hong and Ning Quan repeatedly, and only after confirming that the two of them weren't teaming up to show off their intelligence in front of her did she belatedly realize, "You told me about this so you want me to do it?"

Chen Hong nodded seriously and said, "This is a very important matter. I'm not very comfortable entrusting it to anyone else. Mom must have heard about the mess that happened at the City Lord's Mansion, right? They were running a black market business in the city, poisoning children. The Technology Chamber of Commerce failed to supervise them properly and only discovered it now. They also need to bear some social responsibility."

"Mom, please help me take the lead for now. When I have time later, I will introduce some Soul Masters and Soul Masters from Shrek Academy to your place. When the time is right, I will also give up my position at Shrek Academy and establish a comprehensive academy that I envision."

Shrek Academy was the only option for the Technology Chamber of Commerce during its weak phase. In the next twenty years, Shrek Academy will be of great help to the Technology Chamber of Commerce. However, Chen Hong understands that Shrek Academy has an aristocratic character, which is a difficult thing to change. Rather than reforming Shrek Academy twenty years from now, Chen Hong would rather start letting the Technology Chamber of Commerce get involved in education now, gradually develop and grow stronger. When the time is right, Chen Hong will take the lead in establishing a comprehensive academy that prioritizes academics.

In this way, the Douluo Continent will have two top-tier universities, which is better than transforming one.

"Alright, I'll ask for some people when your dad gets back." After thinking for a while, Ning Lu finally agreed to Chen Hong's suggestion. She also displayed the characteristics of a strong woman from the Ning family and prepared to ask Chen Lin for some manpower so she could start working on her own.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mom." Chen Hong smiled slightly.

After resolving these issues, Chen Hong's life in Soto City returned to peace.

Meanwhile, at the Sea Soul Mercenary Group's location, Hague, led by Chen Lin, toured the Technology Chamber of Commerce's production workshop. The sight of various massive machines operating in an orderly fashion left Hague speechless with astonishment, taking a long time to recover. After regaining his composure, Hague became even more determined to forge an unbreakable alliance with the Technology Chamber of Commerce. Following this, after touring other production lines, Hague, with a trembling hand and an excited heart, boarded a ship and left Soto City with a refined-looking member of the Ning family.

Ning Lu also started taking action. She asked her family for some more manpower and began dispatching Soul Masters from the Armed Forces Department of the Technology Chamber of Commerce to promote the Technology Chamber of Commerce's plan to build an affiliated primary school in Soto City that would provide free food and accommodation for children under the age of fifteen.

If anyone else had said this, people would have suspected that there was some shady deal involved. But when they heard that the school was established by the Technology Chamber of Commerce and that the person in charge was Ning Lu, the owner of the Xuanhu Medical Clinic and the wife of the president of the Technology Chamber of Commerce, who had an excellent reputation in Soto City, everyone's doubts were instantly dispelled. Many Soul Masters who had received Ning Lu's kindness even spontaneously promoted Ning Lu's Technology Chamber of Commerce Affiliated Primary School. Some Soul Masters with a strong sense of morality even volunteered to work for Ning Lu.

In short, Ning Lu's fame in Soto City seemed to exceed Chen Hong's expectations. The Science and Technology Chamber of Commerce's affiliated primary school project was completed without encountering the slightest setback and had already begun recruiting students. At the same time, Chen Hong also noticed that the growth rate of the faith turbulence above Soto City seemed to have accelerated slightly. This was a happy problem.

Meanwhile, the Tech Chamber of Commerce's new flagship product, the Soul Power Milk Bottle, began to rake in gold coins from various Soul Master factions. In an instant, the Tech Chamber of Commerce's meager funds started to grow rapidly at a rate that made the entire continent envious. The Heaven Dou Chamber of Commerce and the Star Luo Chamber of Commerce were working overtime to imitate the Soul Power Milk Bottle, attempting to grab a share of the Tech Chamber of Commerce's profits. However, this constant pandering to the Tech Chamber of Commerce was destined to have no impact on its technological hegemony.

An interesting incident occurred during this process: the Spirit Hall also intended to get involved in the Soul Power Baby Bottle project. After all, this technology was already converging towards becoming a war-oriented Soul Tool. While the Spirit Hall didn't oppose it, they also wanted to have their own Soul Power Baby Bottle industry to supply their own Soul Masters. However, after the Technology Chamber of Commerce learned of this, they generously provided the Spirit Hall with a Soul Power Baby Bottle production line, taking advantage of the opening of the Suowu Highway.

The Spirit Hall at that time:

At that moment, during an internal meeting of the Spirit Hall's high-ranking officials, an elder finally couldn't help but ask, "Which Spirit Hall predecessor in history left behind the foundation for that Technology Chamber of Commerce?"

The question posed by the Spirit Hall elder could not be answered. However, the Spirit Hall finally loosened its grip on the Technology Chamber of Commerce in another aspect.

That is, for the first time in the history of the Spirit Hall, it has recognized in writing that non-Spirit Hall forces have the right to issue currency.

In other words, the new Soul Coins issued by the Technology Chamber of Commerce are recognized by the Spirit Hall and can be exchanged for Gold Soul Coins in any Spirit Hall branch in any city! This is the first time in the history of the Spirit Hall that it has recognized that the currencies of other forces can be exchanged for their Gold Soul Coins at an equivalent price.

In fact, companies like the Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce have jointly issued Soul Crystal Cards, which can be used in many places, but they have never been officially recognized by the Spirit Hall.

What baffled the Spirit Hall most about the Technology Chamber of Commerce was that this guy seemed to refuse to do anything unless they allowed it.

However, it must be said that this feeling of being "valued" made the Spirit Hall feel extremely good, and they found the Technology Chamber of Commerce particularly pleasing to the eye.
