Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 38 Acquisition of the Soto City Bank

Bai Yu casually put down two gold soul coins, put the rutilated crystal into his belt without saying a word, and then immediately left the antique shop.

Flanders continued reading and ignored him until two minutes later, when he suddenly stood up, looking completely dumbfounded.

"What... what happened to me? I actually sold it for only two gold soul coins! Am I crazy?"

Flanders wanted to slap himself twice!

But then he suddenly frowned and muttered:

"That belt I glimpsed earlier looks like Yu Xiaogang's soul tool. Could that kid be related to Yu Xiaogang? Hmm, maybe he's here to enroll at Shrek Academy? Hehe, I'll make back the money I lost in a bit!"

After saying that, he closed the antique shop and headed towards Shrek Academy.

As Bai Yu walked out of the antique shop, he sensed that Tang Hao wasn't watching him, so he went into the money exchange next door.

The money exchange was bustling with activity. Long queues formed at the counter-like windows, and all sorts of people moved about. Every now and then, a customer holding a VIP purple card would appear, astonishing everyone and causing them to bow down in awe.

Bai Yu also took the opportunity to inquire about the Soto City bank. He learned that the bank had three levels: depositing 10,000 gold soul coins or more would get you an orange card, 100,000 gold soul coins would get you a purple card, and 1 million gold soul coins or more would get you a black card!

And there aren't necessarily many black card users in the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

At this moment, Bai Yu noticed a window in the corner where no one was queuing, and the staff member in charge of that window was even dozing off at the table. So he walked over, knocked on the table, and said:

"I need to get something done."

The staff member woke up groggily, looked closely at Bai Yu's appearance, and said indistinctly:

"This is the VIP channel; you need at least an orange card to use it."

No wonder there was no one in line. Bai Yu said expressionlessly:

"I want to acquire your money exchange."

"You want to acquire it."

The staff member subconsciously repeated half of it, then suddenly woke up, jumped up from his seat, and said with a grim expression:

"Dude, are you making fun of me?"

Bai Yu looked at him quietly:

"If you can't make the decision, let the person who can speak out."

"Hey? I have a short temper. Ahem, please wait a moment, this way please, let's talk in a quiet room."

Upon seeing his demeanor, the other party hesitated and immediately changed their attitude, putting on a fawning smile.

Bai Yu followed him into a reception room. Soon, a middle-aged man arrived, accompanied by two guest attendants.

"What's going on?"

The middle-aged man looked at the staff member in charge of receiving Bai Yu.

The staff member smiled wryly:

"Boss Qian, some young punk wants to buy our money shop. He looks so confident and doesn't seem like he's joking. I don't know what to do, so I'm asking you to handle it."

Boss Qian:

"Buy our money exchange? You dare to say that? Even the city lord doesn't have that much money."

"Boss, should I kick him out?"

"Never mind, I'll see him. It won't take long."

As he spoke, Boss Qian walked into the reception room alone, only to find Bai Yu wearing a mask.

Boss Qian: "?"

Why are you wearing a mask? Are you here to rob us?

However, his excellent professionalism prevented him from showing his dissatisfaction; he smiled and asked:

"Sir, I am the owner of a money exchange, my surname is Qian. I heard you are looking to acquire our money exchange?"

Bai Yu, wearing a mask, nodded and asked in a deep voice:

"Um, how much?"

Boss Qian: "."

He suddenly had a lot to complain about, but didn't know where to begin.

How much? You're asking that like you're buying groceries on the street. Anyone who didn't know better would think we're talking about a few copper soul coins.

Boss Qian coughed lightly and said with a forced smile:

"Sir, you jest. Although my Soto City bank doesn't have any black card users, I do have seven or eight purple card users, and dozens of orange card users. The market value alone is at least a million gold soul coins. Even the city lord of Soto City wouldn't dare say he could buy it."

"One and a half million, will you sell?"

Bai Yu interrupted him.

Mr. Qian was stunned; the CPU suddenly overheated.

"Two million, one price, sell or not?"

Boss Qian nodded mechanically and said blankly:

"It's sold in Gold Soul Coins, not Bronze Soul Coins!"

He suddenly realized what he was doing and quickly added a sentence.

Bai Yu looked at him like he was an idiot, then took out a debit card from his belt.

[Story: You take out a savings card with a balance of 500 Gold Soul Coins]

Bai Yu deliberately slowed down and added a "ten thousand" after "five hundred," which was the limit of his low-level editing opportunities.

If he wanted to change it to 50 million or even 50 billion, he would need intermediate and advanced modification opportunities. Bai Yu currently has 5000 points, which he could easily use to make the change, but he's too lazy to waste them. 5 million is enough for him anyway, and he can change it later when he needs money.

Seeing the masked man in front of him take out a black card from his belt, Boss Qian's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the other party in disbelief as the black card was handed over.

He had some suspicions in his mind; after all, Bai Yu had even taken out his black card, so it couldn't be that he was playing a trick on him. But this suspicion was too far-fetched, so he couldn't believe it.

He took the black card, his voice trembling slightly:

"Sir, I... I need to check the balance on your card, is that alright?"

Bai Yu nodded, and Boss Qian quickly left the room, only to return shortly after, looking radiant and as if he had suddenly become seven or eight years younger.

"Sir, are you really going to spend two million to acquire our Soto City Money Exchange?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment. This is the first time we've encountered a situation like this. We're making preparations now, please wait a moment."

Boss Qian bent down and smiled obsequiously.

Soon, three beautiful women entered with synchronized steps, each carrying a tray containing a contract, tea, and snacks. Beneath their slit cheongsams, three pairs of long, alluring legs were captivating.

Bai Yu took the contract, glanced at it, confirmed that the terms were correct, pressed his fingerprint on it, and then instructed:

"Both internally and externally, you will continue to act as the owner of the money shop. I will be a hands-off manager and will not be involved in anything. You should not tell anyone that I acquired the money shop. But I will check the accounts from time to time. If I find out that you have done something wrong, you know what the consequences will be."

Boss Qian nodded frantically:

"Don't worry, I'll transfer the profits to your account every month. Our Soto City money exchange is doing very well!"

Especially now that I've earned two million, my principal is even greater, and my income will only increase accordingly.

Bai Yu nodded, glanced at the three charming beauties, and walked out of the reception room and out of the bank.

Boss Qian watched his retreating figure and murmured:

"Now that's what a rich person is like! They've seen plenty of beautiful women, they look down on the ordinary girls at our money exchange!"

Bai Yu was only thinking about the tight schedule and heavy task ahead. He knew that if Tang Hao found out he had been away for a long time, he would definitely become suspicious. Otherwise, he would have made sure that the three beauties played mahjong with him.

Soon, Bai Yu slowly caught up with Xiao Wu and Tang San. Tang San didn't notice Bai Yu's sudden disappearance, because they had been shopping for too long. Bai Yu had gone to the restroom or other stores to browse on his own several times, disappearing several times in total.

The three continued walking. It was already dusk. Xiao Wu touched her flattened belly and said:

"We still don't know where Shrek Academy is. Why don't we find a hotel to stay at for the night and go tomorrow?"

Tang San and Bai Yu naturally had no objections, and the three of them entered a high-class hotel to check in.

Just as expected, on the way to the hotel, a blond man in a white suit walked in with two scantily clad women on his arm, and immediately said:

"Gentlemen, I booked the room in advance."
