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

Chapter 173 Young Adult Mode

Of course, the most eye-catching thing about the entire Jubao Pavilion is the eight long-skirted girls standing on either side of the entrance, exuding the atmosphere of a business tycoon from the early 20th century on Earth.

These girls in long dresses, who were clearly in charge of reception, looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, with sweet looks and slender figures.

Her lower body was covered by a long skirt, making it difficult to see clearly, but her upper body was bare, with her shoulders exposed and her full breasts tightly wrapped, revealing a noticeable cleavage.

Her fair skin appeared even more graceful against the backdrop of the magnificent Jubaoge building.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but frown.

He could understand that in a store in the Douluo Continent, it was perfectly normal to have a few pretty waitresses to attract attention.

Moreover, the treasure appreciation event only lasts for a few days each year, and the rest of the time is spent on normal business dealings. Without pretty girls to keep things in order, it is indeed inappropriate to force business owners into a "teenager mode."

The question is, could the "young adult mode" be turned off a little during the first few days of the treasure hunt?
Is it a bit much to put a "young adult mode" on students who are at least twelve years old?
Well, this does sound like something Shrek Academy would do.

Chen Ping could come up with a plausible excuse, such as saying that it was to encourage students to study harder when they returned to the academy and to lay a foundation for a better future.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"

Wu Feng glanced at the voluptuous young women in long dresses at the door, whose figures rivaled Zhu Lu's, then looked down at himself and the young master, and a strong sense of resentment rose in his heart.

Hmph, he's just a few years older than the two of them.

As for Ning Tian, ​​he subtly sized up Chen Ping.

Seeing that Chen Ping only glanced at her without looking to the side before looking away, she couldn't help but secretly smile, and took out the rose that Chen Ping had given her again to smell it.

"Look at the Treasure Pavilion, what else could you possibly want to see?"

Chen Ping glanced at Wu Feng with amusement; why was this little girl getting so worked up?

Before they even reached the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion, one of the eight girls at the door came out to greet them with a faint smile. She stopped beside the three of them and respectfully asked, "Are you here to attend the Treasure Appreciation Gathering?"

At this moment, Chen Ping and the others were all wearing Shrek Academy uniforms, so they were naturally easy to recognize. They had already received a lot of attention along the way.

The three of them took out their invitations and handed them over. After reading the invitations, the girl's smile softened even more.

"plz follow me."

As she spoke, she made a gesture to lead the way and then walked ahead.

Stepping into Jubaoge, an atmosphere of luxury immediately envelops you.

The golden hall exuded extravagance, its interior shimmering under the glow of crystal chandeliers suspended high above. Two rows of young women stood on either side of the hall.

Compared to the eight girls in long dresses outside, the girls inside wearing gold short skirts were more eye-catching—well, actually they were just wearing less.

"Welcome, distinguished guest."

Just as Chen Ping and his two companions were about to pass in front of the girls lined up on both sides, the girls on both sides suddenly bowed and said something at the same time.

Even though he had anticipated this, Chen Ping still seemed to be on the verge of losing his composure.

Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?
Jubaoge is likely to be the top shop in the entire Douluo Continent, or at least one of them.

Forget about equipping it with antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and rare building materials that would make nouveau riche feel ashamed and unable to reach it, to showcase the ancient Shrek Academy's heritage. At the very least, it shouldn't be built to the standards of a third-rate nightclub on Earth! The decoration and welcoming standards of Jubaoge are even worse than the small shop at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School that Chen Ping visited before.

If you absolutely have to explain this decorating style, it's nothing short of a curse cast by the Buddha Tang.

Fortunately, once Chen Ping and the other two were guided by the young girl up the golden steps to the second floor, the flamboyant feeling almost disappeared.

Because the second floor is filled with many items, all separated by crystal cabinets, it doesn't have the nouveau riche vibe of the first-floor lobby. Instead, it feels more like an exhibition hall.

It was at this moment that a familiar sense of longing also came from Chen Ping's martial soul.

Um.
Chen Ping didn't even need to look to sense that Shrek Academy had brought out a full nine soul bones for this treasure appreciation event.

Because Chen Ping could feel his martial soul sending him nine different kinds of intense longing.

This made Chen Ping subconsciously put his right hand into his pocket, afraid that his martial spirit might jump out of his palm if he wasn't controlled properly, which would be a big problem.

He casually glanced at the nearest soul bone—the torso bone of a 30,000-year-old Void Shadow Leopard, the top choice for agility-type soul masters, priced at over three million gold souls.

Chen Ping silently pushed his right hand further in. Although he was envious of these soul bones, he couldn't afford them at that price.

Besides, with his current physical condition, let alone being unable to subdue a 30,000-year-old Void Shadow Leopard, even if he were to have a soul bone of just over 10,000 years, he could only watch helplessly.

The girl in the white dress stopped in her tracks. "Welcome, three distinguished guests, to the Treasure Pavilion's Treasure Appreciation Event. The event will be held on the second floor; you are welcome to browse freely."

"If you find any items you like, please register and purchase them on the west side. If you need to pay on credit, you can also have them appraised there. The appraisal results will determine the discounts you will receive and the amount you can pay on credit."

Chen Ping nodded, just about to assess the quota, when he found that Wu Feng and Ning Tian's attention had been drawn to the colorful exhibits at the treasure appreciation event.

"Shouldn't you get your credit limit assessed first?"

Chen Ping patted Ning Tian on the shoulder.

With Ning Tian's soul power level of just over 30 when he first entered school, his talent rating should be at least purple level, which means he needs a starting credit limit of 100,000 gold soul coins!
"A credit limit? No need, no need."

Ning Tian waved his hand: "When school started, my dad told me that second graders could participate in the Treasure Appreciation Meeting. He specifically asked me to bring some gold soul coins to see if there were any supplies that the sect was lacking, so I could buy them back while I was at it."

"Forget about the assessment amount; it's not much money anyway. If you don't have enough, you can come to me. Since you're just doing favors for those businessmen, why not do favors for our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Upon hearing Ning Tian's words, the young woman in the long dress who was guiding them almost stumbled and fell. Fortunately, she quickly regained her balance, but her face showed some discomposure.

Shrek Academy students who are eligible to be invested in the Treasure Pavilion can at least obtain a yellow-level rating and receive tens of thousands of gold soul coins.

If the rating is purple or even black, the debt amount could be hundreds of thousands or even millions.

You should know that even a credit limit of a yellow-level rating is a fortune she could never earn in her entire life, but in this girl's mouth, this amount of money seems to be nothing at all.

The girl in charge of guiding him felt relieved after hearing Ning Tian say that he came from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

So they were from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. That's alright then.
