Douluo Continent: Kunxu Descends, Second-Player Players Are Stunned

Chapter 80 Bibi Dong, the Middleman

"Take a look, have a look."

"The Martial Soul Academy is currently the only academy with instructors at the Soul Douluo level!"

"Every day, experts at the Soul Saint level or above give lessons in the evenings!"

"Excellent faculty, welcome to apply!"

Summer vacation has arrived in the blink of an eye.

Bibi Dong, holding a megaphone, was recruiting new students for the Martial Soul Academy in Starfall City.

There was nothing she could do; she was in debt and had to work hard to pay it off.

Fortunately, there are many job openings recently, so even this soon-to-be fourth-grade student has something to do.

Not all work-study students are like Bibi Dong, who can start working in her fourth year of university.

Last year, due to a series of reforms initiated by the Martial Soul Academy and the participation of various forces, Martial Soul City began its expansion. The Martial Soul Academy was divided into primary school, middle school, and university departments, and the academy successively expanded by adding several buildings.

After school, Bibi Dong works on construction sites, and during holidays, she travels to various cities to recruit new employees.

As for why she was making herself so busy—perhaps it was because the shock of the Panlong Staff incident was too intense, and Bibi Dong was finding it difficult to face her own feelings.

As a strong person, she has a sense of pride.

Yu Xiaogang made her lose face!

Although Bibi Dong wasn't the kind of woman who would be influenced by other people's opinions, she would never forget the expression that appeared on Xiao Gang's face when the Panlong Staff was withdrawn.

This is simply—

This is even more disgusting than Tang Hao's hasty childbirth!

Because this incident caused irreversible damage to her heart, Bibi Dong never saw Yu Xiaogang again after that parting. Even when there were transactions of pills between the two, Bibi Dong always used people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect as intermediaries, while she devoted herself to her studies and work.

Of course, when delivering the pills, Bibi Dong always remembered to include a letter, promising Yu Xiaogang that she would break through to the Soul Venerable level as soon as possible and obtain the qualification to purchase the Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Origin Pill.

As for who this nonsense is trying to fool—

Who knows!

Drawing empty promises is easy; anyone who believes them is a fool.

Of course, there were some rewards to be had while carrying bricks.

At least, Bibi Dong, who had never known how to handle interpersonal relationships, learned to be "flexible" in the process of carrying bricks day after day.

For things like the battle stages used for sparring between students and academies within the Martial Soul Academy, and the venues for the Soul Master Competition, there's no need to use the best materials.

Battles cause damage, and repairs will be necessary sooner or later.

The more expensive the materials, the higher the repair costs.

It would be better to use some inferior materials.

If the site is extensively damaged, the college can also extort money from the vandals.

The site is easily damaged, which gives the Spirit Hall a reason to rebuild it.

Of course, the reported building materials expenses must be in accordance with the highest standards.

After all, such a huge project has countless eyes watching it, and countless hands trying to reach in and grab a small amount of gold soul coins.

You're not taking it? I'm not taking it? How are we supposed to take the share for the Spirit Hall elders?

If the Soul Saint doesn't take it, how can he take the Soul Douluo, Title Douluo, and Venerable ones above his head?

If the purple-robed cardinal doesn't take it, how can his superiors, the cardinals, black-robed cardinals, or even platinum-robed cardinals, take it?

Do you think that high-level Soul Masters earn their Gold Soul Coins by working odd jobs?

Bibi Dong is able to get this lucrative job in student recruitment because she knows how to help her superiors allocate resources effectively.

Save where you can.

For pillars that support the roof beams, you could simply build a few inferior ones to save money, and leave a few high-quality ones to prevent collapse.

With her exceptional accounting skills, Bibi Dong successfully gained the trust of her superiors and even gained access to things she had no right to see before.

For example, the elders of the Spirit Hall all have private funds and lend money privately, with an annualized interest rate of around 20%, which is similar to that of major sects.

Some work-study students would secretly borrow money from the elders' private funds to improve their grades.

For someone like Bibi Dong who knows how to be greedy, private foundations offer her preferential loan terms.

To make friends with someone, to establish diplomatic relations.

This will make it easier for them to collude in the future.

Crossed out!!!

It's clearly a win-win situation!

Whether it was Bibi Dong's imagination or not, she always felt that after doing something immoral, her control over the Rakshasa power had reached a new level!

Rakshasa God: I finally know why I inexplicably owed money! Those heartless bastards all treated me like a sucker!

Since she had been shouting for a long time but no one around had signed up, Bibi Dong simply stopped trying.

Starfall City is a newly built city that has flourished due to the emergence of Soul Master Transformation Qualification Certificates. It has become increasingly prosperous, attracting many merchants.

For student recruitment, this is not an ideal location to achieve KPIs.

For middlemen, this place is clearly a perfect spot to make money!

Bibi Dong borrows 100,000 gold soul coins from different private funds every month, mostly for consumption and stockpiling goods. She waits for the holidays to come so she can bribe her superiors, hitch a ride on official trips, and then make a profit of hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins by reselling supplies!

Monopolies have allowed scalpers to make a fortune.

A 5% discount means you can only earn less than 5% profit within the academy, but outside the academy you can earn anywhere from 30% to 500%!

Bibi Dong hummed a little tune as she met up with Zhou Mazi, a familiar merchant.

Zhou Mazi was a vendor introduced to her by the foreman when she was carrying bricks at the construction site. He dealt in building materials, and all the materials embezzled at the construction site were resold by Lao Zhou.

Because Bibi Dong often used her 5% discount to act as a middleman, the two gradually became acquainted.

Bibi Dong walked through the bustling streets and turned into an inconspicuous alley.

Deep in the alley, in front of a dilapidated general store, Zhou Mazi was sitting in a bamboo rocking chair, basking in the sun, his eyes half-closed, like a lazy old cat.

"Uncle Zhou."

Zhou Mazi opened his eyes, saw that it was her, and immediately put on a smile: "Oh, it's Miss Dong? Please come in, please come in."

Bibi Dong followed him into the shop. It looked dilapidated from the outside, but the inside was a completely different world. The shelves were filled with all kinds of soul tools, pills, and medicinal herbs, all of which were rare and valuable items that could not be bought on the market.

Of course, everyone knows the origin of these things.

Zhou Mazi closed the shop door, deftly spread out a piece of animal hide, and took out an account book and pen. Then, rubbing his hands together, he said with a smile, "Miss Dong, what good stuff did you bring this time? Let me see!"

Bibi Dong took out one item at a time from the storage soul guide of the surviving creatures.

"Twelve golden-veined vermilion fruits."

Zhou Mazi's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it, examining it carefully: "The quality is not bad. With this condition, the purchase price is eight hundred gold soul coins per piece."

"One thousand." Bibi Dong began quoting the price expressionlessly. "This batch is a special supply from the Spirit Hall's medicinal fields; there's no stock available elsewhere."

Zhou Mazi's lips twitched, but he still obediently wrote it down in the ledger: twelve golden-patterned vermilion fruits, each priced at one thousand, for a total of twelve thousand.

"Five Jade Marrow Fungus".

"This is good!" Zhou Mazi leaned over and smelled it. "It's old enough, and the medicinal properties are well preserved. Miss Dong, this stuff is now fetching three thousand a plant on the market—"

"Five thousand."

Zhou Mazi almost dropped the pen in his hand, thinking to himself that this girl was becoming increasingly difficult to fool.

"Miss Dong, isn't your price a bit too steep? Three thousand is already the absolute maximum!"
