Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 150 More like a real beard than a real one
What good things would a Soul Master, especially a Soul Master Evil Soul Master, have in their storage ring?

Chen Ping will find out soon.

Contrary to expectations, there were no bloody limbs or other disturbing items. Zhongli's storage ring was surprisingly clean and tidy.

However, this seems to make sense, as Zhong Liren is not only the most obvious evil soul master, but also a soul master, and at a high level.

Furthermore, the Zhongli brothers do not rely on harming ordinary people or Soul Masters to produce products like blood or souls for cultivation. Their primary activity is simply hunting beast souls.

Although Zhongli Ren possesses a soul skill that allows him to refine life, it is clear that in emergency situations, he would first use beast soul refinement rather than flesh and blood refinement.

This is why it's normal for Zhongliren's items to be arranged so neatly in his storage soul guide.

Aside from the soul-guiding staff that Zhong Liren always held in his hand, which sealed a large number of beast souls, there were also many rare metals in Zhong Liren's storage soul-guiding device.

This was what surprised Chen Ping the most, because 40% of these rare metals were "restricted" rare metals.

The so-called "restricted" level rare metals are those that can only circulate within the Sun Moon Empire and cannot be imported into the other three empires through any official channels.

The golden crystal that Chen Ping used to kill Zhong Liren was a "confidential" level rare metal, which is one level higher than the "restricted" level rare metal.

The location and quantity of this rare metal, as well as other related matters, are classified secrets of the Sun Moon Empire and can only be accessed by nobles with sufficiently high authority.

Let alone smuggling such rare metals, even just leaking important information about these rare metals would be a serious breach of confidentiality and would result in arrest.

Indeed, there are "secret" level rare metals in Zhong Liren's storage soul tool, and there is more than one piece.

As for the "hidden" level rare metals, Chen Ping was unable to find any.

It seems that even for someone like Zhong Liren, a powerful evil soul master who enjoys certain privileges in the Sun Moon Empire and is also a soul master, not just any rare metal can be easily obtained.

However, this was already quite a pleasant surprise for Chen Ping.

After all, the more restricted and secretive a rare metal is, the higher its price usually is when it's brought to Shrek.

In the Sun and Moon Empire, below the restricted-level rare metals, there are three other levels of rare metals.

However, the prices of these three types of rare metals are similar to those in the Douluo Continent.

With just a quick estimate, Chen Ping calculated the price of the rare metal in his ring.

In the Sun Moon Empire, these rare metals would be worth at most 200,000 gold soul coins, but within the Douluo Three Kingdoms, they would be worth at least 800,000 gold soul coins!
Chen Ping subconsciously wiped away his sweat. Damn, have the numbers inflated that much?

Half a year ago, he was so desperate to throw a copper soul coin on the ground and spend it in two, but now he's made 800,000 gold soul coins for me.

Pretending to be an evil spirit master to smuggle rare metals in the Sun Moon Empire—this line of work seems to have potential.
A very dangerous idea suddenly popped into Chen Ping's mind.

As is well known, the Holy Spirit Cult is the state religion of the Sun Moon Empire, so the status of evil spirit masters is actually quite high, although they are suppressed on the surface.

This is precisely why evil soul masters like Zhong Liren can so easily obtain such a large quantity of restricted-grade rare metals and export them without any impact.

If that's the case, pretending to be an evil soul master and using that identity to acquire large quantities of rare metals doesn't seem like a pipe dream, does it?
But soon Chen Ping sighed in disappointment. No, it's not so easy to fake an evil spirit master.

Without Electrox's help, how could he possibly perform the fancy moves that only evil spirit masters could pull off?

That's the God of Wealth passing by.

Looking at these rare metals, Chen Ping couldn't help but sigh. For him, the value of a windfall was not as great as a steady, long-term windfall.

Don't be fooled by his recent successes: the top-tier compensation he got from Ma Xiaotao, and the rare metal worth over 800,000 gold soul coins he obtained from Zhong Liren's storage soul tool. It's all superficial. The reason is simple: Ma Xiaotao won't have a second episode and run into him.

Even if you bump into him, he might not be able to foresee the danger and escape unscathed.

Similarly, Zhongli Ren couldn't possibly come back to life and be blown up again.

Therefore, although he is not considered the true value of the Soul-Devouring Blade, his net worth is already approaching that of a millionaire.

However, this does not affect his monthly income of gold soul coins, which is basically only a few hundred to a thousand.

Once he's spent this money, it's truly gone. He'll have to think carefully about how to use it.

After all, if Chen Ping remembered correctly, Dai Huabin's older brother, Dai Yueheng, worked for Shrek Academy's supervisory group for several years, and in the end, he only managed to accumulate a little over 800,000 gold soul coins.

Finally, after being paralyzed in bed for half a month due to being blown up by the Grim Reaper, he suddenly realized that getting a soul tool would only benefit him and not harm him. So he got an eighth-level melee soul tool, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, and gambled away all his wealth.

It's still more profitable to be a Soul Master.

Chen Ping couldn't help but sigh, and continued to check what else Zhong Liren had in his storage soul tool.

Several sets of clothes, a few metal tokens of unknown purpose, and some soul tools that looked to be of a relatively high level.

"hiss"

Chen Ping blinked, took out the clothes from his storage soul tool, picked out a black robe to wear, and then hung a metal token on his waist.

After that, Chen Ping picked up Zhong Liren's soul-guiding staff used to release beast souls, bent over, and adopted a hunched posture.

"Hehehehe, Teacher Li, do I look like a demonic spirit master now?"

A hoarse, bellows-like sound came from behind Teacher Li. Teacher Li, who was checking her medical records for the month, subconsciously turned her head to look at the source of the sound.

Then he saw a hunched old monster in a black robe holding a staff, chuckling at him.

"Oh my god!"

Teacher Li was so startled she almost fell off her chair. It took her a moment to realize that it was Chen Ping in disguise. Enraged, she picked up the medical record in her hand and wanted to slap it on Chen Ping's head.

"Oh no, teacher, please don't hit me!"

Chen Ping quickly regained his composure and tossed his staff aside: "Teacher Li, do you think my outfit just now was good enough to impersonate an evil spirit master? Did people immediately recognize me as one?"

Teacher Li shook his head: "What's the use of looking like one? My ancestors were bandits. In our area, any family can make you a beard that looks more like a real beard than a real one."

"But the key question is, do you understand the coded language used by evil spirit masters? Do you possess the skills of those evil spirit masters?"

"Without these things, it's absurd to pretend to be an evil spirit master. You'll be exposed if you encounter a real evil spirit master."

In response, Chen Ping quickly shook his head: "Who said we were going to have a real encounter with evil spirit masters? We just need to rush to produce a few hundred sets of these equipment and sell them to the 'mules' on the border, so that the soldiers checking at the border will think that these 'mules' are evil spirit masters."

"If we hurry up and rush to produce one batch, and concentrate our manpower to do several batches, it shouldn't be difficult to get a large batch of rare metals out of the country at once."

Teacher Li's eyes widened suddenly as she listened to Chen Ping's words.

Is this even possible?
