Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The violent collision of metal against metal produces a crisp and rhythmic sound.

The two spinning tops clashed fiercely, scattering sparks.

"Critical Strike Tiger" launched continuous attacks, while "Aurora Armor" held the center firmly. Each collision caused the spinning top's trajectory to change slightly.

"Yay! Bump it! Bump it!"

Xiao Wu watched with great excitement, clenching her fists and cheering loudly.

It was lunchtime, around 12:30, and many students were returning to their dormitories after finishing their lunch.

Xiao Wu was already a "celebrity" in the academy, and her loud and focused manner quickly attracted the attention of many people.

Curious students gathered around in twos and threes.

"Sister Xiaowu, what are you guys playing at?"

In the crowd, a well-dressed student peeked out and asked, his face full of curiosity.

Wang Teng gently nudged Wang Sheng with his arm.

Wang Sheng understood, immediately stood up, cleared his throat, and explained to the onlookers, "Look, this is called a 'Spinning Top,' a metal fighting toy that we specially customized."

Chapter 27 Making Money

"Right now, Xiao Wu and Wang Teng are having a spinning top battle to see whose spinning top can last until the end."

Wang Sheng introduced it to everyone.

Everyone's attention was drawn back to the battle arena.

At this moment, the battle is nearing its end.

Xiao Wu's "Critical Strike Tiger" became unstable due to its continuous attacks, and its trajectory became erratic. However, it still stubbornly crashed into the center time and time again.

Although Wang Teng's "Aurora Armor" was still spinning, its speed had slowed down significantly, and it appeared to be on the verge of collapse under repeated impacts.

"Go, Tiger! It's almost done for!"

Xiao Wu shouted nervously, her eyes fixed on the ground.

All the students watching held their breath, staring intently at the two tiny spinning tops colliding violently.

The only sounds in the air were the whirring of the spinning top and the occasional clanging.

Finally, after another collision, the blue "Critical Strike Tiger" completely lost its balance, fell to the side on the plate with a "thud," and stopped spinning.

The green "Aurora Armor," though rotating slowly, stubbornly remained in place until it finally came to a stop after a dozen seconds, thus winning the victory.

"Ah—we lost!"

Xiao Wu stomped her foot in frustration, but the excitement in her eyes didn't diminish.

"Let's do it again! I'm sure I'll win this time!"

"This thing is quite interesting!"

Some of the students watching sighed and turned their gaze to the wooden box full of spinning tops at Wang Sheng's feet.

"Hey, Wang Sheng, I see you have a lot here. Are you selling them? How much are they?"

This is exactly what Wang Sheng and others were referring to.

He immediately raised his voice and began soliciting business: "Listen up, everyone!"

"Our spinning tops come in three types: 'Critical Tiger' is the offensive type, 'Aurora Armor' is the defensive type, and 'Crimson Bird' is the endurance type!"

"Each type is further divided into three tiers: basic, competitive, and deluxe!"

"The basic version costs 50 copper soul coins, the battle version costs 100 copper soul coins, and the deluxe version costs 500 copper soul coins!"

"Come and take a look if you're interested, and pick out your favorite style!"

"Each type of spinning top is limited, first come, first served, once they're all sold out, they're gone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, students responded immediately.

"I want one! The basic 'Critical Strike Tiger' model!"

"Give me a 'Aurora Armor' for combat!"

"Give me one of each of the three! And all of them in the deluxe edition! Money is no object!"

The students at Notting College range in age from six to twelve, a time when they are playful and curious.

Moreover, college life is already monotonous, and the sudden appearance of such a novel and interesting toy instantly ignited everyone's enthusiasm.

The crowd grew larger and larger, with discussions, inquiries, and sounds of selection rising and falling.

Wang Sheng was quickly surrounded by a large crowd.

Wang Teng and Xiao Wu were even pushed out from behind the box by the enthusiastic crowd.

Wang Teng struggled to squeeze out of the crowd and breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he steadied himself, Xiao Wu moved closer to him, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Hey, Wang Teng, you have to treat me to dinner after you sell these spinning tops."

Wang Teng suddenly turned his head and looked at her with some surprise.

"What are you looking at?"

Xiao Wu raised her chin, with an expression that said, "I saw through this a long time ago," and said, "Just now you used my name to advertise your spinning top."

"It's not too much to ask me to treat you to a meal, is it?"

Wang Teng never expected that this usually carefree rabbit would actually see through his intentions.

It's just a meal, nothing serious.

So Wang Teng nodded and readily agreed: "No problem, Xiao Wu, you can decide what you want to eat."

By this time, the crowd at the dormitory entrance had grown larger and larger, and the noise even attracted more students who were originally resting in the dormitory.

Notting College has six grades and fewer than three hundred students in total, so any news spreads incredibly fast.

The novel and competitive game of spinning top battles quickly swept through the dormitory area like a whirlwind.

The herd effect began to emerge. Many students, without even fully understanding the rules, saw others buying and playing, and rushed to join in, afraid of falling behind.

The frenzied atmosphere lasted for about an hour.

When the wooden box in front of Wang Sheng was finally empty, many students around him who hadn't bought any were filled with disappointment.

Wang Teng had ordered 270 spinning tops, thinking that would be enough. However, some students from wealthy families bought several at once, leaving dozens of others empty-handed.

"Brother, they're all sold out."

Wang Sheng picked up the wooden crate containing only spare parts, squeezed next to Wang Teng, and said in a low voice, "Some people still haven't bought any. Should we go to the blacksmith's shop and order another batch?"

Wang Teng glanced at the gradually dispersing crowd and shook his head: "That's enough."

"If anyone else wants to buy it, tell them they can go to the blacksmith shop in town and have it custom-made themselves."

"Now, let's move on to the next step of our plan."

"Alright."

Wang Sheng nodded, his gaze falling on the box full of coins, and he couldn't help but grin.

The two brothers carried the heavy "money box," avoiding the students who were still reluctant to leave, and quickly returned to Dormitory 7.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, Wang Sheng couldn't wait to dump all the money from his box onto Wang Teng's bed.

Copper and silver soul coins were mixed together and piled up into a glittering little mountain.

"We're rich! Hahahaha!"

Wang Sheng had never seen so much money in his life. He was so excited that he jumped onto the bed, opened his arms and hugged the pile of coins, his face beaming with joy.

"Alright, alright, don't get excited."

Although Wang Teng was also excited, he was able to remain calm.

"First, count the money carefully, then we'll exchange all the bronze soul coins for silver or gold soul coins for safekeeping."

"Yes, yes, count the money!"

Wang Sheng immediately got up and sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed.

The two brothers faced each other and began to carefully count the proceeds from the sale.

A clattering sound of coins echoed through the quiet dormitory.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the dormitory at that time.

Almost all the students were in the open space outside, immersed in the fun of battling their newly acquired spinning tops.

Otherwise, seeing this bed full of money would definitely cause a sensation.

The inventory work proceeded quickly.

The final number is out.

There are a total of 31500 copper soul coins.

"31500...that is, three gold soul coins plus fifteen silver soul coins..."

Wang Sheng counted on his fingers, and after finishing, the excitement on his face faded, replaced by a hint of annoyance.

"Sigh, this is all the gold soul coins we've earned? We only spent one gold soul coin on production costs, and after all that work, we've only made a little over two times our initial investment?"

"Being able to make a net profit of more than two gold soul coins is already quite good."

Wang Teng was quite satisfied, and he patiently did the accounts for his elder brother.

"Brother, don't forget, we work-study students only get ten copper soul coins a day for working at the academy."

"These two gold soul coins are equivalent to the two of us working together at the academy for two and a half years."

The net profit from selling the spinning tops this time is equivalent to about two gold soul coins and fifteen silver soul coins.
