Chapter 33 The Fish That Were Attracted
Amidst his busy schedule, Huo Yuhao pointed to the wooden sign beside him, feeling somewhat annoyed. Prices were clearly marked, so why didn't anyone even look at them?
"Price clearly marked, one gold soul coin per item, no bargaining."
One Gold Soul Coin?
The stunningly beautiful girl frowned slightly and said, "It's a bit expensive. Considering the cost and your processing, three copper soul coins should be enough, and you'll still make a profit."
"Senior, are you joking?" Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly. "Prices in Shrek City are already high. Even the most basic vegetarian dish in the school cafeteria costs two copper coins. Three copper coins a dish might not be a loss in some smaller places, but in Shrek, I'd have to pay extra."
"Besides, I set up my stall every day specifically to make money. Grilling fish takes time, and I can't sell many a day, so I have to sell it at a higher price. If I don't make more money, where will I get the money to pay for my tuition?"
The stunningly beautiful girl paused for a moment, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just did a quick calculation... but no matter what, one gold soul coin for just one grilled fish is really too expensive..."
Clearly, the girl was still captivated by the fragrance and wanted to try again...
"I know that pricing it at one gold soul coin is excessive."
Huo Yuhao interrupted Jiang Nannan's attempt to negotiate the price.
"However, I'm also confident that my skills can make someone willing to spend a gold soul coin to buy a fish that would normally only be worth a few copper coins. Making money is fine, and I haven't used any underhanded methods, so it's not shameful!"
The stunningly beautiful girl was stunned by what Huo Yuhao said. Yes, it's their business if it's expensive; they've clearly marked the price and aren't ripping people off.
The people queuing up to eat grilled fish were clearly happy to spend the money, and even while watching the commotion around them, they would still take a bite every now and then with a satisfied look on their faces.
On the contrary, I neither buy any grilled fish nor do I stop others from doing their business...
It took the girl a while to come to her senses. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you from doing business. I'll try it again if I have the chance in the future." With that, she turned and walked out.
Huo Yuhao clearly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him. Many of the students who had been looking at him with such enthusiasm were now glaring at him angrily.
After all, how could they possibly feel at peace knowing that the goddess they had been longing for had been humiliated by a fishmonger?
That's great! How can that simp still sit still?
Sure enough, speak of the devil and he appears.
"Boy, do you dare not sell?" A deep, resonant voice, filled with anger, suddenly rang out. Immediately afterward, eight golden beams shot straight toward Huo Yuhao's stall.
"Ding—" A series of golden lights accurately struck the grill, embedding themselves completely into it—eight gold soul coins. Immediately afterward, a figure strode over, quickly passing the beautiful girl and arriving at Huo Yuhao's stall, reaching out to grab the grilled fish on his grill.
"Hey! This is my grilled fish!"
Wang Dong was initially enjoying watching the commotion, but when he suddenly saw someone trying to steal his grilled fish, he immediately flew into a rage.
A dazzling blue light flashed, and at the same time, a pair of enormous wings suddenly spread open. Then, he saw the V-shaped pattern formed by golden halos on the wings suddenly light up. The azure wings then turned bluish-purple. Intense fluctuations of soul power instantly erupted.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao, who was already prepared, used his mental detection to monitor the surrounding movements in real time. As soon as the person reached out, Huo Yuhao took several steps back to avoid the grabbing hand.
The man's large hand didn't grab the grilled fish, but instead grabbed into the oven, actually grabbing several pieces of burning charcoal. At the same time, Wang Dong's released soul power also bombarded the man's arm.
As the light of the soul power dissipated, the newcomer's forearm was completely unharmed, enveloped in a layer of dark soul power, with not even a scratch on his clothes.
"Boy, are you looking for death?" the black-clad youth roared, crushing the burning charcoal in his hand with a single blow, sparks flying everywhere, yet he seemed completely unaffected by the heat. With a sweep of his right foot, he knocked over Huo Yuhao's grill. Simultaneously, he took a step forward, his large hand reaching straight for Huo Yuhao's chest.
I couldn't dodge it!
Using his mental detection, Huo Yuhao could find some weaknesses, but the grab itself was designed to prevent him from dodging. No matter how Huo Yuhao tried to dodge in his mind, his cultivation was too weak, and he couldn't escape the grab's range at all...
What should I do?
Huo Yuhao's mind raced, and the traditional martial arts moves he knew from his previous life flashed through his mind.
In an instant, Huo Yuhao's mental connection was established with Wang Dong.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao flicked his wrists and tossed four grilled fish toward Wang Dong.
After throwing away the tangled grilled fish, Huo Yuhao immediately used his free right hand to strike Xu Sanshi's oncoming grip, slapping hard on his wrist.
As he clapped and pressed down, Huo Yuhao's figure suddenly flashed to the right.
Tear--!
Xu Sanshi's right palm grazed Huo Yuhao's left waist. Although he failed to grab Huo Yuhao, he still tore the corner of Huo Yuhao's clothes.
Although he successfully dodged Xu Sanshi's grab, he was so focused on Xu Sanshi's attack that he failed to notice the stall that Xu Sanshi had kicked over and tripped over his own food cart.
He was cool for only three seconds.
"Huh?" Xu Sanshi was also surprised that Huo Yuhao could dodge his grab, and he paused for a moment.
On Wang Dong's side, through mental detection, he saw Huo Yuhao throwing the grilled fish toward him. After hesitating for a moment, Wang Dong still chose to trust Huo Yuhao. Instead of continuing to attack Xu Sanshi, he flapped his wings and his figure flashed and moved in the air, narrowly catching all the grilled fish.
"What are you doing?"
"stop!"
The one speaking was Tang Ya, who was now filled with shock and anger, while the other had already rushed over like lightning, striking the black-clad youth with a palm strike.
The young man in black was clearly caught off guard and didn't expect anyone to attack him, but he still reacted quickly, twisting his upper body to meet the incoming palm with his right hand.
"Pfft—" Both of them jolted at the same time, each taking a step back, neither gaining the upper hand.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's friend step forward, Wang Dong also withdrew his martial spirit and examined the grilled fish in his hand.
It was thrown way too far. Luckily I can fly, otherwise I might not have been able to catch it, and those four perfectly good grilled fish would have been wasted.
Wang Dong carefully took a bite of the grilled fish, and his eyes lit up.
It's delicious!
After taking another big bite, Wang Dong shifted his attention from the grilled fish back to the "battlefield" and began to watch the show.
Let's return to the battlefield where the two sides clashed.
Having barely regained his balance after being attacked, Xu Sanshi looked up sharply at the opposite side, wanting to see who dared to ruin his plans...
I rub!
"Beibei, it's you!"
"When did you stoop so low as to bully freshmen?" Seeing that Xu Sanshi stopped attacking Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei returned to his usual gentle and refined demeanor, as if the punch he had just received had nothing to do with him.
Tang Ya rushed over to Huo Yuhao's side and squatted down to check if Huo Yuhao had been injured by Xu Sanshi. She happened to see the torn clothes on Huo Yuhao's left waist.
"Xu Sanshi, you dare to bully my people? I'll fight you to the death!" As she spoke, Tang Ya raised her right hand, and a golden light flew straight towards Xu Sanshi.
Because Tang Ya was squatting at the moment, and Xu Sanshi had his back to Huo Yuhao and the other person.
The golden light emitted by Tang Ya shot straight at Xu Sanshi's buttocks and penetrated his skin.
Some readers have suggested that I make the protagonist more domineering. To be honest, I also really want to see my protagonist show off his coolness. However, Huo Yuhao's transition from an ordinary person in a peaceful era to someone who looks down on all the heroes in the world always requires a process. His first fight, his first independent research and development of a soul tool, and his first development of a cultivation technique are the foundation of a person's domineering presence. Domineering without a solid foundation is just a facade, easily shattered. The protagonist I want to write is Huo Yuhao, who gradually armes himself with his own abilities and ultimately becomes the most powerful person in the world.
Huo Yuhao doesn't even know how to fight yet.
