Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 85 begins with the three showing off, who are out of touch with the times.

Are these private cars expensive?

Serpent Spear Douluo asked, and Porcupine Douluo also wanted to know. After Chrysanthemum Douluo's introduction, they were somewhat interested in buying one.

"It's not expensive at all. The ordinary ones cost only tens of thousands of points, while the better ones cost around twenty to thirty million points. Our Spirit Hall has exclusive vehicles for different levels. If you want something nicer, you'll have to buy it yourself."

"By the way, a storage soul ring comes with the purchase of a private car. Although the storage ring is not big, it is just right for storing a car, so many people have bought it."

Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke casually with a smile on his face.

He said it on purpose. He could roughly guess how many points Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo had, so he said it casually, just to make a snide remark about the two of them.

"Twenty or thirty million? That's robbery!"

As expected, upon hearing the price quoted by Chrysanthemum Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo almost jumped up in surprise.

"Robbery? How could that be? We sell openly and operate legally. We don't force anyone to buy. We're doing business honestly."

"What's the big deal about 20 or 30 million? You are elders of the Spirit Hall, after all. Your words and actions represent the image of the Spirit Hall. Don't act like country bumpkins."

"There's a Soul Guide Vehicle on display right now, priced at 100 million. A lot of people are scrambling to buy it, but that vehicle is just a display piece and won't be sold."

Chrysanthemum Douluo, of course, would not miss any opportunity to show off, and calmly said.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo was secretly pleased.

"How many points would it cost for a car like yours?" Serpent Spear Douluo asked cautiously. Chrysanthemum Douluo's car was clearly different from everyone else's, so it probably wouldn't be cheap.

"My car isn't expensive, only a little over ten million! How is it? Is it comfortable to sit in?"

On the surface, Chrysanthemum Douluo remained nonchalant, but inside he was overjoyed. He loved how clueless the two of them were. He was still thinking about how to say it if they hadn't asked.

"Holy crap, over ten million? You think that's expensive? In the Heaven Dou Empire, having tens of thousands of points is already impressive. You have over ten million! That's enough to buy a soul bone. Chrysanthemum Guan, you've embezzled quite a bit over the years in Spirit City, haven't you?"

Sure enough, upon hearing that it was over ten million, both of them were completely stunned.

"Haha, embezzlement? There's really no need for that. Points are nothing to me. Besides, I didn't buy my car with points. It was a gift from my apprentice. There are more than a dozen of them. I told him I didn't want them, but he insisted on giving me one to try out, since they're all new models. Luckily, my storage ring has a lot of space, otherwise I wouldn't have anywhere to put it."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's mouth was practically splitting open as he spoke. Now, everyone else in Wuhun City avoids him when they see him, and there's no one to even chat with. It's just too Versailles.

It just so happens that the Serpent Spear and the Porcupine Pig had never gotten along with him before. One of them was outside and unaware of the situation, allowing Chrysanthemum Douluo to successfully perform a Versailles-like feat in front of them step by step.

Seeing the two people's embarrassed expressions, Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled happily.

Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo also realized that Chrysanthemum Pass was just there to show off, and they had let him show off successfully step by step, which made them feel extremely depressed.

"Alright, don't worry. Even though you've been working away from home all these years, you've still been receiving a salary. Once you've got your documents sorted out, just go to the finance department to collect it."

Chrysanthemum Douluo finally acted like a human for once, saying something that made the two of them happy, and the gloom on their faces instantly disappeared.

"Really? That's great! I knew the Grand Elder wouldn't treat us unfairly. How many points are there?"

Upon hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's words, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo were filled with excitement, while also being very concerned about their points, looking at Chrysanthemum Douluo with anticipation.

"It's not much. You've been out there all these years, but you only started getting paid after my apprentice took over. I don't know about the previous salaries; you'll have to ask the Grand Elder. But if we calculate from when he took over, you each have about a million or two. That's gone after a meal at a fancy restaurant, so you two are celebrating too soon."

In Wuhun City, it is not uncommon to spend hundreds of thousands of gold coins on a lavish feast.

However, this meal was extraordinary, as it used rare ingredients and was not something that could be enjoyed at ordinary times.

Ju Douluo's words were fairly reasonable, but his last sentence was clearly malicious, deliberately said to tease the two elders and test their reactions.

"So little!"

Sure enough, after hearing what Chrysanthemum Pass said, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo fell for it, thinking it was too little.

After all, the preconceived notion from Chrysanthemum Pass, with its frequent mention of tens of millions of points, gave the two of them the illusion that Spirit Hall points were easy to earn, and that tens of millions were nothing.

In fact, having a few hundred thousand in Wuhun City is already a lot. You could buy ten houses with that money, not to mention other daily necessities, which are still very cheap.

Ordinary vehicles aren't very expensive. Of course, those more special vehicles are custom-made and fall into the luxury category, suitable only for a small number of people.

"What else? You get a basic salary while you're out there. The Spirit Hall has many missions and many departments that need people, so everyone else earns points through these means."

"All you two have done over the years is protect the young master. At most, you've taken on a protection mission. Besides, you're infiltrating the Heavenly Dou, so it's very safe for you. The missions are low-difficulty, and the points won't be many."

Chrysanthemum Douluo hasn't felt this comfortable in a long time. Who told you to be so arrogant before? The Elders' Hall is nothing special, but times have changed.

Upon hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's words, the two inwardly scoffed. Shouldn't protecting a girl be a highly confidential mission? When did you make it sound so simple?

Even if we're infiltrating, aren't we the ones doing the relaying of messages?

Why isn't this disappearance of transmission included?

……

The performances of Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo were like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, or country bumpkins entering the city.

Throughout the journey, Chrysanthemum Douluo was secretly overjoyed.

The two of them realized what Chrysanthemum Douluo was thinking, so they decided to ignore him and sat in the back without saying a word, sulking.

Young Master Qian Renxue appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil. However, the habits she had developed over the years as a person in a position of power meant that she remained calm in the face of adversity, which was the most basic requirement. At the same time, she made sure that others could not see her expression, perfectly hiding her inner thoughts.

Without batting an eye, he has been playing Xue Qinghe for years, and his acting skills have long been honed to perfection.

Qian Renxue had already figured it out; Chrysanthemum Douluo was deliberately showing off and teasing the two elders, but the three of them were really unfamiliar with Wuhun City and couldn't refute it.

Upon returning to Wuhun City, the three felt that everything was unfamiliar; the familiar streets and buildings had all changed drastically.

Upon entering the inner city, one sees twelve square office buildings, each with a huge plaque displaying the name of its respective department, which looks magnificent and imposing from a distance.

Slightly shorter than the twelve office buildings are nine cultivation towers, with characters floating on top of them: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, light, darkness, and nothingness. The characters are also rotating, so they can be seen from any direction within the city.

All the streets were clean and tidy, with some staff members wearing orange vests constantly cleaning. Occasionally, you could see a strange soul-guided vehicle with several rotating objects underneath, seemingly sweeping the ground, and the dust it swept up was sucked away directly.

Green belts have been built in many places, which was not the case before. With the embellishment of green belts, the whole street looks vibrant.

The clothing of the people in the city has also changed significantly. Since fighting is not allowed in the city, everyone wears casual clothes and no longer wears leather armor or similar items.

There are many kinds of casual clothes; at first glance, you might think you've arrived in a modern city.

Ju Douluo drove smoothly all the way.

There were many more checkpoints along the way, but no one dared to stop Chrysanthemum Douluo's vehicle when it arrived.

"Why didn't anyone stop you? I saw other vehicles stop for inspection. They can't even see inside your car from the outside. Chrysanthemum Douluo, are you abusing your privileges?"

Seeing that Chrysanthemum Pass was clear of obstacles, Serpent Spear felt he had caught Chrysanthemum Pass red-handed. Although he felt that as an elder, he should have some privileges, he couldn't help but retaliate and asked, regardless of whether there was any reward or not, he would strike first.

"Hey, Serpent Spear, are you a curious person? You have to ask about everything. All vehicles need to register and get a license plate number before they can drive on the road. I'm using the automatic recognition lane. See that soul guide device next to the checkpoint? That thing can scan license plates and then know whose vehicle it is. It will determine whether to allow entry based on whether the vehicle has access privileges."

He was quite willing to explain anything that would allow Chrysanthemum Douluo to display his superiority.

Just then, a soul tool resembling a bracelet on Chrysanthemum Douluo's wrist sent out a voice message: "Do you want to answer a video call from your second disciple, Jerry?"

"Connected!"

"We've detected you're driving. For your safety and the safety of others, would you like to connect to the car radio?"

"connect!"

As Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke, a small light screen appeared in front of the driver's seat, displaying a human figure.

Qian Renxue was a little curious and took a look. A young and handsome boy appeared on the screen. His eyes were bright and spirited, his nose was very prominent, his eyebrows were not very thick, but they looked very comfortable. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his face was clean and white. Overall, he looked very refreshing, and his smile made people feel warm.

"Master, you ran so fast just now, what happened at the city gate? I saw you coming back with three people, but it was a bit far away, so I couldn't hear you clearly," Jerry asked. He had just been looking for his master and saw him running excitedly towards the city gate, so he figured there must be something fun there.

"My dear disciple, it's nothing. It's just that two silly Douluos from the Elder Hall brought back the Grand Elder's granddaughter. They didn't know the rules and tried to force their way in, but they ended up in an awkward situation and were surrounded by a group of Title Douluos. I went to help them out."

Chrysanthemum Douluo said with a smile, pointing to the two people behind him as he spoke.

"Get lost, Chrysanthemum Guan. I think you're itching for a fight. You came right up and were ready to attack. If you hadn't seen who I was, you would have stopped."

Serpent Spear Douluo said angrily, "You call yourself a 'helper'? You, Chrysanthemum Pass, have the nerve to say that? You released your martial soul before even arriving at the scene, speaking with overwhelming pressure to make everyone else stop, and you were already rubbing your fists together, clearly preparing to take action yourself. Now you still have the nerve to say you're helping? Bah!"

"Oh, it's one of our own. That's alright then. Master, come back quickly! My research on spirit rings has yielded results; please come back and help. By the way, Elder Ghost went with you; why hasn't he returned?"

Jerry still has some things he needs to discuss with Ghost Douluo, since he's been hiding from him.

"Damn, I completely forgot. Old Ghost didn't even go back to the city. He went out to play by himself. I was only focused on picking people up. Wait, Old Ghost sent me a message. Let me check it."

Only now did Chrysanthemum Douluo remember Ghost Douluo. When he saw Qian Renxue returning to the city with Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, whom he didn't get along with, he was preparing to show off in front of them and forgot about Ghost Douluo.

If Jerry hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have realized that someone was missing.

Originally, I was going to call Ghost Douluo, but then I saw a message from him. After reading it, Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but want to complain.

"My dearest Yueguan, I feel like I'm about to break through. I'm going away to cultivate for a few days, don't worry about me!"

The Ghost Elder sent a short message to Chrysanthemum Douluo and then immediately shut down his Soul Guidance Watch.

"Old Ghost ran off to have fun by himself, without even taking me with him. My apprentice, why have you been putting so much pressure on him these past few days? It's obvious he's avoiding you."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo have been sworn brothers for many years, and Chrysanthemum Douluo knows Ghost Douluo's personality very well. It seems that it is no simple matter to force Ghost Douluo to run away.

"No, no, isn't it because Ghost Douluo's martial soul is special? I was just studying it for a bit."

Jerry waved his hand and quickly explained, adding a wronged expression as he spoke.

"Study it a little? Really? You tried to pluck the flower from my martial soul last time, was that also to study it? You're too ruthless! A damaged martial soul is very difficult to repair. You just want to use the exploding ring soul skill to explode your martial soul, right? Next time I'll take you to the Clear Sky Sect, and we'll go knocking on their door and demand it back! Don't bother studying it yourself!"

Thinking about Jerry's research, Chrysanthemum Douluo felt a chill of fear.

This apprentice is good at everything, except he likes to do random research, which is something most people can't accept.

The three people next to them were already shocked!

Researching spirit rings?

Researching Martial Souls?

Attack the Haotian Sect?

Is it really that casual?

Judging from the way they were chatting, it seemed like they didn't take these things seriously at all.
