People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 7: Huo Yuhao's failed return to his old profession

Huo Yuhao’s willpower was pretty good. After all, he was the reincarnation of the God King. Having experienced countless major events in his previous life, his mind had not grown much. However, he was good at deceiving himself. He forced himself not to think about the affairs of Xue Di and others. His head tilted, and he soon fell asleep.

Silent all night.

The next morning, when it was just daybreak, Huo Yuhao climbed out of bed with great anticipation. He ignored the strange looks from his macho roommates and went to the kitchen sink to start washing up.

Today is another day full of hope.

After washing up, Huo Yuhao hummed a little tune and walked out of the dormitory with a greasy face.

The group of muscular roommates in the room looked at each other, and stared at Huo Yuhao's gradually receding back with extremely strange eyes. The moment the dormitory door was closed, the depressing atmosphere in the dormitory was swept away.

"Who is that person? Why is he so arrogant? Is he a nobleman from some powerful faction?"

"Not really. He's so skinny and malnourished. Whose son looks like this?"

"That's right, the young master will be in charge of the family in the future, and he will have to deal with people. He can't be a dull person. He is not destined to be rich, but he has a rich disease. He acts like he is rich every day and looks down on us. He can't even pretend."

"You bitch is just hypocritical!"

The girls' dormitory is full of intrigue, but the relationships in the boys' dormitory are relatively simple. No matter if you are a funny guy, a macho man, or a taciturn person, as long as you are a normal person, not a mama's boy, a daddy's boy, or any other blue boy with a twisted personality, it is difficult for you to not fit in.

Huo Yuhao fell into exactly this trap. You can choose not to engage in certain unnecessary social interactions, but you still have to say hello to your roommates. If you don’t say hello, or even pretend to say hello, you’re just short of having the words “I look down on you” written on your face.

Huo Yuhao didn’t know that his group of macho roommates were talking about him behind his back, nor did he bother to know. To him, only Wang Donger was worthy of being his roommate. The others, haha… were not worthy, not worthy of being his roommate!

After someone became a god, the humble Huo Yuhao was... dead!
……

After leaving the dormitory, Huo Yuhao first went to a department store and bought some barbecue stoves, charcoal and other tools. He then went to the fresh food market to buy a batch of processed grass carp, sealed them with ice, and came to the gate of Shrek Academy - he set up a stall in the familiar location and started doing his old business.

It’s not that the grilled fish made by Huo Yuhao is so delicious. The taste is definitely not comparable to that of the chefs in the palace. At most, it can be regarded as a street snack. The main feature is that it is cheap and of good quality. For five copper soul coins, you won’t suffer a loss or be cheated.

Most of the students who attended Shrek Academy were from aristocratic families. They were used to eating delicious food, and occasionally eating some grilled fish from roadside stalls was a different kind of experience. Since it was the enrollment period, there were many soul masters coming and going in the East Gate area, so Huo Yuhao's business was good. In a short while, he sold more than 40 grilled fish and earned two gold soul coins.

What Huo Yuhao regretted was that he had been setting up the stall for such a long time, but he had not seen Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan. He wondered what the relationship between them was like, and whether that incident had happened. He was quite fond of this couple.

At this time, two soul masters dressed in patrol uniforms came to the grilled fish stall, looked Huo Yuhao in the eye, and said unkindly: "You want to set up a stall here? Do you have a business license?"

"Business license? What is that?" Huo Yuhao widened his eyes, his eyes full of confusion.

"So there is none?" One of the patrol team members looked at Huo Yuhao's slightly immature face, and his heart softened, so he didn't make things too difficult for him. "Well... forget it, since you are young and it's your first offense, we won't hold you accountable. Remember, you must first go to the Shrek City Lord's Mansion to apply for a business license and pay the corresponding stall fee before you are eligible to set up a stall!"

As they spoke, two patrol team members began to confiscate Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall and the two illegally obtained gold soul coins. They could choose not to hold him accountable, but a symbolic punishment was necessary.

Huo Yuhao: "..."

From beginning to end, Huo Yuhao did not resist the two patrol team members. Firstly, he did not care about this small amount of money. Secondly... with his current status, he could not conflict with official personnel. What did it have to do with them if they did things according to the rules?
After the two patrol members left, Huo Yuhao collapsed on the ground, feeling extremely aggrieved. What on earth was wrong with this world? In his previous life, he had set up a stall here, and he didn't even ask for a business license or stall fee?

ummm
Is it possible that there was such a thing in your previous life, but Beibei arranged it in advance in order to take care of your self-esteem, Huo Yuhao, and let you, Huo Yuhao, just sit there and collect the money?
Shrek City, especially the East City area where Shrek Academy is located, is a land of valuables. Huo Yuhao, do you really think that anyone is qualified to set up a stall at the gate of Shrek Academy?

For example, every year tens of thousands of civilians starve to death, and you, Huo Yuhao, just say... these people deserve it. If they have no money to eat, can't they go to the gates of the Duke's or Marquis's Mansions to collect slops or pick up food from the trash cans to fill their stomachs?

Huo Yuhao, who was born in the Duke's Mansion, can awaken his martial soul and obtain the soul power meditation method to cultivate his soul power. After his mother's death, he was able to survive in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion for more than a year, which means... he just couldn't get enough food and clothing, but he didn't starve.

After the demise of the Spirit Hall, what was life like for the real civilians in the Douluo Dalu II era?
Huo Yuhao had not endured enough cold stares. Any soul master who came from the lowest level of civilians would choose to overthrow the Poseidon Pavilion and Shrek Academy instead of being their most loyal lackey!
Going back to reality.

Huo Yuhao finally chose to give up and return to his old business. He definitely couldn't afford the high stall fees. Even if he could afford it, he couldn't make it back. How much money could he make from selling grilled fish? Besides, he didn't have to set up a stall forever, he still had to continue learning.

There was no other way. Huo Yuhao could only learn from the jade woman on his waist… Oh no, he took out the sound transmission jade slip that Tang Ya gave him yesterday afternoon under the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night and stroked it twice.

"Sister Xiaoya, Senior Brother Beibei, do you have time? I'll be waiting for you at the gate of Shrek Academy. I need your help with something."
