Chapter 85: Starting to Show Off: The Three Can't Keep Up with the Times

"Are these private cars expensive?"

Snake Lance Douluo asked, and Puffer Douluo also wanted to know. After Chrysanthemum Douluo's introduction, they wanted to buy one.

"Not expensive, not expensive. Ordinary ones are tens of thousands of points, and there are better ones for about 20 or 30 million points. We in the Spirit Hall have exclusive vehicles according to different levels. If you want better-looking ones, you need to buy them yourself."

"By the way, buying a private car comes with a storage soul tool ring. Although the storage ring isn't big, it's just right for storing a car, so many people bought it."

Chrysanthemum Douluo said with a smile, very casually.

He said it on purpose. He could roughly guess how many points Snake Lance Douluo and Puffer Douluo had, so he pretended to say it casually, just wanting to make them feel sour.

"20 or 30 million, robbery!"

Sure enough, as expected, hearing the price Chrysanthemum Douluo said, Snake Lance Douluo and Puffer Douluo almost jumped up and said in surprise.

"Robbery? How is that possible? We sell publicly, operate legally, and won't force purchases. We are doing serious business."

"What's there to be surprised about with 20 or 30 million? You are elders of the Spirit Hall anyway. Your words and deeds represent the image of the Spirit Hall. Don't act like country bumpkins."

"Now in the soul guidance car showroom, there is one priced at 100 million, and a bunch of people are fighting to buy it, but that car is just a display item and won't be sold now."

Chrysanthemum Douluo certainly wouldn't miss any opportunity to show off and said very calmly.

Seeing the expressions of Snake Lance Douluo and Puffer Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo felt secretly refreshed.

"Then how many points does your car need?" Snake Lance Douluo asked cautiously. Chrysanthemum Douluo's car was obviously different from others, and the price probably wouldn't be cheap.

"My car? Not expensive, just over 10 million! How is it? Is it okay to sit in?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo still looked very casual on the surface, but he was already blooming with joy inside. I just like the way you two bumpkins don't understand anything. If you didn't ask, I was still thinking about how to say it.

"Holy crap, over 10 million, and not expensive? In the Heaven Dou Empire, having a few tens of thousands of points is already very powerful. You are over 10 million, enough to buy a spirit bone. Chrysanthemum Guan, you must have embezzled a lot in Wuhun City over the years, right?"

Sure enough, hearing over 10 million, both were directly shocked silly.

"Haha, embezzlement, really unnecessary. Points are a small matter to me. Besides, my car wasn't bought with points. This was filial piety from my disciple. There are more than a dozen others. I said I didn't want them, but he said they were new models and insisted on giving me one to experience. Fortunately, the storage soul tool ring has a large space, otherwise there would be no place to put it."

Chrysanthemum Douluo said this, his mouth splitting open. Now others in Wuhun City hide when they see him, and there is no one to chat with. It's too pretentious.

It just so happens that these two Snake Lance and Puffer didn't get along with him before, and the two had been outside, not understanding the situation. Step by step, Chrysanthemum Douluo successfully showed off in front of the two.

Looking at the awkward look of these two people, Chrysanthemum Douluo laughed happily.

Snake Lance Douluo and Puffer Douluo also felt at this time that this Chrysanthemum Guan was here to show off, and they let him succeed step by step, feeling very depressed.

"Alright, don't worry. Although you have been outside for these years, you still have a salary. Once you handle your documents, you can go to the Finance Department to collect it."

Chrysanthemum Douluo finally acted like a human being and said a sentence that made the two happy. The depression on their faces disappeared instantly.

"Really? That's great! I knew the Grand Elder wouldn't treat us badly. Then how many points are there?"

Hearing Chrysanthemum Guan's words, Snake Lance Douluo and Puffer Douluo were now full of excitement, and at the same time very concerned about their points, looking at Chrysanthemum Douluo expectantly.

"Not much, you have been outside all these years, but my disciple only started paying salaries after taking over. I don't know if there were any before. You have to ask the Grand Elder about this. But calculating from the time he took over, you have about 800,000 to 1 million each now. A meal at a high-end restaurant will be gone, so you two are happy too early."

In Wuhun City, spending 800,000 to 1 million gold coins for a luxurious feast is not uncommon.

However, this meal is extraordinary. The ingredients used are rare, and due to their rarity, they cannot be tasted at ordinary times.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's words were still fair, but the last sentence was obviously intentional, deliberately saying it to tease the two elders and test their reactions.

"So little!"

Sure enough, after hearing Chrysanthemum Guan's words, Snake Lance Douluo and Puffer Douluo were fooled and felt it was too little.

After all, Chrysanthemum Guan's words took precedence. Talking about tens of millions made the two have an illusion, making them feel that Spirit Hall points are easy to earn, and tens of millions are a small matter.

In fact, having 800,000 to 1 million in Wuhun City is already considered a lot. You can buy ten houses, not to mention other daily necessities. The prices are still very cheap.

Ordinary vehicles are not very expensive, of course, those special vehicles are specially built and belong to the luxury category, only suitable for a small number of people.

"Then what else? You only get a basic salary outside. The Spirit Hall has many tasks and many departments need people. Others earn points through these."

"You two have been protecting the Young Master all these years, at most counting as taking a protection task, and you are in Heaven Dou, lurking, very safe, the task difficulty is low, and the points won't be many."

Chrysanthemum Douluo hasn't been this comfortable for a long time. Who told you to be so arrogant before? Elder Hall is amazing, right? Now the times have changed.

Hearing Chrysanthemum Guan's words, the two complained in their hearts. Shouldn't protecting the Young Master be a very confidential task? When did it become so simple in your mouth?

Even if it's lurking, the things about passing messages are all done by us, right?

How come this matter of passing messages isn't counted in it?

Snake Lance Douluo and Puffer Douluo's performance was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, country bumpkins entering the city.

Along the way, Chrysanthemum Douluo felt secretly refreshed.

The two also saw Chrysanthemum Douluo's thoughts, so they didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, sitting in the back without speaking, sulking.

Young Master Qian Renxue was relatively calm on the surface, but her heart was already surging. But the habit of being a superior for many years, not panicking when things happen, is the most basic, and she also makes others unable to see what expression she has, perfectly hiding her heart.

Calm and composed, she has been playing Xue Qinghe for these years, and this acting skill has long been practiced to perfection.

Qian Renxue had long seen that Chrysanthemum Douluo was deliberately showing off and teasing the two elders, but the three of them were really unfamiliar with Wuhun City now and couldn't refute.

Returning to Wuhun City this time, the three felt everything was strange. The familiar streets and familiar buildings in the past had changed greatly.

Entering the inner city, they saw twelve square office buildings, each with a huge plaque hanging, with the names of various departments written on them, looking magnificent from afar.

Slightly shorter than the twelve office buildings are nine cultivation towers, with characters floating on the top of the towers: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Thunder, Light, Dark, Null, and the characters are rotating, which can be seen from all directions in the city.

All the streets are clean and tidy. Some staff members wearing orange vests are always cleaning, and occasionally you can see a strange soul guidance car, with several rotating things underneath, looking like they are sweeping the floor, and the dust swept out is directly sucked away.

Green belts have been built in many places, which was not the case before. With the embellishment of green belts, the whole street looks full of vitality.

The clothing of people in the city has also changed greatly. Because fighting is not allowed in the city, everyone wears casual clothes, without leather armor or armor.

There are many types of casual clothes, and at a glance, you would think you have come to a modern city.

Chrysanthemum Douluo drove, unimpeded all the way.

There were many checkpoints on the road, but seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo's vehicle arrive, no one dared to intercept.

"Why didn't anyone intercept you? I see other vehicles stopping for inspection. You can't see inside from outside this car. Chrysanthemum Douluo, did you engage in privilege?"

Snake Lance watched Chrysanthemum Guan go unimpeded and felt he had caught Chrysanthemum Guan's pigtail. Although he felt that as an elder, a little privilege was deserved, he still couldn't help but ask back, regardless of whether there were dates or not, hit with a rake first.

"Hey, Snake Lance, are you a curious baby? You have to ask everything. All vehicles need to be registered and have a license plate to be on the road. I am taking the automatic identification lane. See that soul guidance device equipment next to the checkpoint? That thing can scan the license plate, and then it knows whose vehicle it is, and will judge whether to allow entry based on whether there is permission."

For things that can show his superiority, Chrysanthemum Douluo is still very willing to explain.

Just at this time, a soul tool like a bracelet on Chrysanthemum Douluo's wrist sent a voice: "You have a video call from your second disciple Jerry, do you want to connect?"

"Connect!"

"Detected that you are driving. For your safety and the safety of others, do you want to connect to the in-car call?"

"Connect!"

With Chrysanthemum Douluo's connection, a small light screen appeared in front of the driver's seat, showing a portrait on the light screen.

Qian Renxue was a bit curious and took a look. A young and handsome boy appeared on the light screen. His eyes were bright and energetic, his nose bridge was very three-dimensional, his eyebrows were not very thick but looked very comfortable, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, his small face was white and clean, and he looked very refreshing overall. When he smiled, he made people feel very warm.

"Master, you ran so fast just now. What happened at the city gate? I saw you bringing three people back. The distance was a bit far, and the sound couldn't be heard clearly." Jerry asked. Just now he was looking for his master and saw his master running towards the city gate excitedly, feeling that there was something fun at the city gate.

"Good disciple, nothing, just two idiot Douluo from the Elder Hall brought the Grand Elder's granddaughter back. They didn't understand the rules and wanted to break in, but it was a bit embarrassing and they were surrounded by a group of Titled Douluo. Master went over to resolve the siege."

Chrysanthemum Douluo said with a smile, pointing to the two people behind him while speaking.

"Go to hell, Chrysanthemum Guan, I think your hands are itchy, you were ready to take action as soon as you came up. If you hadn't seen who it was, you would have stopped."

Snake Lance Douluo said angrily. Resolve the siege? You Chrysanthemum Guan have the nerve to say that? You hadn't even arrived at the scene and released your martial soul, directly speaking with pressure, letting others stop, and you were rubbing your hands, looking like you were ready to take action yourself. Now you have the nerve to say resolve the siege, phew.

"So it was our own people, then it's fine. Master, come back quickly. My research on spirit rings has results. Come back and help. By the way, Elder Ghost went with you, why didn't he come back?"

Jerry still had some things he needed to find Ghost Douluo for, but he had been hiding from him.

"Holy crap, I forgot just now. Old Ghost didn't return to the city at all. He ran out to play by himself. I was only busy picking people up. Wait, Old Ghost sent me a message, let me see."

Until now, Chrysanthemum Douluo remembered Ghost Douluo. Seeing Qian Renxue bring back Snake Lance Douluo and Puffer Douluo, who he didn't get along with, he prepared to show off in front of them and forgot Ghost Douluo.

If it weren't for Jerry's reminder, he wouldn't have noticed that one person was missing.

He originally wanted to call Ghost Douluo, but at this time he saw a message from Ghost Douluo. After reading the message, Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but want to complain.

"Dear Yue Guan, I feel like I'm about to break through recently. I'm going out to cultivate for a few days, don't miss me!"

Elder Ghost's message only wrote a short sentence. After sending it to Chrysanthemum Douluo, he directly closed his soul tool watch.

"Old Ghost ran away, went to play by himself, and didn't take me. Disciple, how did you oppress him these past few days? You can tell at a glance that he is hiding from you."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo have been life-and-death friends for many years and know Ghost Douluo's character like the back of his hand. Being able to force Ghost Douluo to run away, it seems it's not a simple matter.

"No, no, isn't Ghost Douluo's martial soul special? I just researched it a little bit."

Jerry waved his hand and hurriedly explained, also putting on a wronged expression while speaking.

"Researched a little bit? Really? You wanted to pick the flowers on my martial soul last time, was that also to research it? You are too crazy! Martial soul damage is very difficult to recover. Aren't you just trying to apply the ring-exploding spirit skill to exploding martial souls? Next time I'll take you to the Clear Sky Sect, let's go to the door and ask for it? Don't research it yourself!"

Thinking of Jerry's research, Chrysanthemum Douluo also felt a lingering fear in his heart.

This disciple is good at everything, but he likes to research randomly. Ordinary people really can't accept these researches.

The three people next to them were already shocked!

Researching spirit rings?

Researching martial souls?

Attacking the Clear Sky Sect?

Is it that casual?

Judging from the way they chat, it seems they didn't take these things seriously at all.
