DD2—Chapter 20: Stealing Juzi; I Am Your Seed Man
Huo Yuhao looked at the small black object on the table and subconsciously moved his gaze to the wooden sign below the table, on which was written a line of words: "Inferior whale glue, priced at 5,000 gold soul coins."
"Inferior quality whale glue? Brother Tianmeng said we were getting a bargain again. Could it be the thousand-year-old whale glue mentioned in the original novel? However, this piece of thousand-year-old whale glue is only the size of a palm. What a pity," Huo Yuhao's thoughts were churning.
However, he did not show that he recognized the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue. Instead, he questioned, "Brother Tianmeng, the quality of this whale glue is too poor. I learned in class that good quality whale glue will be golden yellow and have a crystal-clear appearance."
After saying these words, he quietly waited for the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to perform, leaving Tianmeng Ice Silkworm a stage to show off.
"Xiao Yuhao, that's because some people in the Sun Moon Empire don't know its value. This is ten-thousand-year-old whale glue. This stuff comes from the whale's brain. Eating it can improve your physique. If you eat it, it can at least increase the lifespan of your body's soul rings to three thousand years.
By then, the first soul ring I give you will be able to exert the power of a three-thousand-year soul ring, and your strength will be further enhanced. However, the only problem is that it is too small. It would be better if it were bigger. If it were bigger, the number of years your body can withstand the soul ring would be further increased." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly felt a little emotional.
"Brother Tianmeng, you are so awesome, and you know so much! As our teacher said, maybe this is what it means to have an elder in the family, like a treasure! You are indeed a million-year-old soul beast!" Huo Yuhao made full use of the personality advantage of an eleven-year-old boy and praised Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
"Of course! Let me tell you, no human knows more about whale glue than I do!"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was also somewhat proud. To be honest, Huo Yuhao's praise made it somewhat happy. After all, in its long life, the compliments it had heard were basically about it being good food or praising it for its good smell. This was the first time someone praised it for knowing a lot.
If Bingbing (Ice Empress) were as sensible as Yuhao, she would just praise me directly!
When Tianmeng Ice Silkworm thought of this, it suddenly felt a little depressed. It knew that it had fallen hopelessly in love with Bingbing, but Bingbing had always been rather indifferent to it and would always turn it into food.
It calmed down for a while, then said, "Xiao Yuhao, buy this thing first to prevent it from being bought by others. Of course, you still have to stay in this shop for a while; after all, there are still treasures to be found here."
"Is there any treasure I can find?" Huo Yuhao's mind wandered, and then he shouted, "Boss, I want this piece of whale glue."
"Okay." The middle-aged man immediately stepped forward, and Huo Yuhao took out the universal gold soul coin card given by Xuan Ziwen and handed it to the other party.
The middle-aged man was somewhat disapproving. After all, anyone who bought this kind of inferior whale glue was not a rich person. Usually, people with money would buy the whale glue that was golden in color.
Soon, the two completed the transaction. Huo Yuhao put the whale glue into the White Cloud Belt and then continued to wander around the shop. Soon, under the instructions of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, he stopped in front of a platform.
In the crystal cover, there was a large piece of golden whale glue. It looked crystal clear and almost broke the cover.
He subconsciously looked at the wooden sign below the platform: "Thousand-year-old whale glue, priced at three hundred thousand gold soul coins."
"Brother Tianmeng, you mean picking up a bargain? Such a big piece of thousand-year-old whale glue must have other secrets." He knew that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would not act without a purpose; after all, the interests of the two were now highly tied together.
"Well, Yuhao, you are very smart. It does have other mysteries.
It is not the thousand-year-old whale glue. Some humans have mistaken it for something else. Although it looks very similar to the thousand-year-old whale glue, its function is completely different. Its name is Magic Whale Glue, which comes from the deep-sea magic whale clan.
The so-called deep-sea magic whale is a very powerful sea soul beast. Its reputation among sea soul beasts is roughly the same as that of evil soul masters among you humans.
Of course, not all deep-sea magic whales can give birth to this thing. The probability of its appearance is very small, and its function is very simple: to enhance mental strength. Therefore, no matter how much it costs, you must get it!
Your martial soul is the spiritual eye, and the strength of your mental power is very important to you."
Improve his mental strength!
Huo Yuhao immediately had an idea. After all, he did not have the Purple Demon Eye and could not improve his mental strength through practicing it. If he could get this so-called Magic Whale Glue, it would naturally be of great benefit to improving his strength.
"But I can't afford it. How about I mortgage the soul guidance device to the boss and then go to Teacher Xuan to borrow money? Then could I redeem the soul guidance device back later?
Although I have two fourth-level soul guidance devices produced by Mingdetang, it is not enough even if I mortgage them all. After all, a level 4 milk bottle in the original book was only sold for 25,000 gold soul coins at the Star Luo Auction House!
You know, the reason why it sold for 25,000 gold soul coins was that the team leader, Wang Yan, wanted to buy this thing and send it back to Shrek for research; otherwise, it could have been bought for 20,000 gold soul coins."
Huo Yuhao immediately fell into deep thought.
Although magic whale glue is not mentioned in the original novel, Huo Yuhao can consume all the treasures of heaven and earth. Moreover, it is understandable that Tianmeng said the probability of its appearance is low.
After all, some things in the Douluo continent have random chances of appearing. For example, as the Empress of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, the Ice Empress is undoubtedly extremely powerful, but she does not know the Ice Explosion Technique. In the original novel, Huo Yuhao's Ice Explosion Technique came from the soul bones of other Ice Jade Scorpions.
'I must find a way to get it; otherwise, if someone else buys it, it will be a big loss. Mental power is too important for this body. In the future, I must condense the spiritual soul core before becoming a Soul Douluo to achieve unprecedented achievements. I must lay a good foundation.'
He took a deep breath and prepared to use the Hongchen Breastplate to trick the boss and let him keep the "Magic Whale Glue" temporarily. As for how to trick him, it was natural to use a tiger's skin. After all, the Hongchen Breastplate was also the work of Illustrious Virtue Hall Master, Jing Hongchen, and it was very recognizable.
As for whether he could fool people successfully, he couldn't guarantee it, but he had to give it a try.
At that moment, a female voice sounded in his ears, "Huo Yuhao, why are you here?"
Um?
Who called my name?
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction from which the voice came. It was a beautiful girl whom Huo Yuhao did not recognize at all.
"Who are you?" Huo Yuhao was a little confused.
"My name is Juzi, and I am one of the four disciples of Teacher Xuan Ziwen. Given the time of our enrollment, you should call me senior." Juzi said with a smile.
It's you, Juzi!
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt that his kidney was in some danger. After all, in the original book, Juzi had stolen Huo Yuhao's seeds through special means and gave birth to Huo Yuhao's son.
