Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

"No need to thank me. Teacher Xiaoya must have a grudge to settle, right? Although she didn't say it, it still shows unintentionally, and she seems a bit anxious about her cultivation. Although I don't know who the enemy is, these hidden weapons should be able to help you. Senior Brother Beibei, you should also communicate more with Teacher Xiaoya," Huo Yuhao said calmly.

"Huh? Really? Xiaoya, why did you never tell me this before?" Beibei looked at Xiaoya in surprise. At this moment, Huo Yuhao had finished his observation and returned to his iron-making furnace. The two snuggled together.

"This……"

Seeing the two suddenly sharing their innermost thoughts, He Caitou stood awkwardly to the side, slowly moving to Huo Yuhao's side and studying the pile of incomprehensible parts.

a long time,

"All right!"

Huo Yuhao looked up, picked up a long iron block, and wrapped it with copper wire.

"Senior Brother! Help me shock this iron block with electricity! Use all your might!" Huo Yuhao shouted loudly, and handed the iron block to Bei Bei.

"it is good."

Bei Bei nodded. Although she didn't know what Huo Yuhao was going to do, she knew he was smart and must have his reasons. She would just do as he said.

A bright flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and the iron block fell to the ground.

"It's done."

Huo Yuhao smiled and picked up the iron block.

"What is this? Why is it made of electric iron blocks?" He Caitou asked, full of questions.

"You all need to watch carefully."

Huo Yuhao placed the two iron blocks together, and everyone noticed that there was a repulsive force between them, making it difficult for them to come together.

When the iron blocks were turned around, the two iron blocks suddenly stuck together tightly, fitting perfectly.

"Is this a magnet? It turned into a magnet after being electrified?" Beibei and the others were all surprised. They naturally knew about magnets, but this was the first time they had ever seen a magnet made like this.

"Because of magnetism, and not only that."

Huo Yuhao smiled as he combined the magnets with the pre-prepared parts.

"This is... a generator!"

Aside from soul power, this is a brand new energy source that everyone can use, even mortals who haven't awakened their martial souls—electricity!

At this very moment, the Douluo Continent welcomes its first hand-cranked generator, and the era of electricity is about to begin.

Chapter 13 Electric Lights, Electronic Communication Devices, and Grilled Fish Delivery

The core of this machine consists of two upright copper discs, each about 30 centimeters in diameter, sandwiched between the poles of a newly manufactured magnet. A copper shaft is connected to the center of the discs, and a wooden handle is attached to the side of the shaft, allowing it to be cranked manually.

This is a very simple human-powered generator.

Simple and primitive, but with an unlimited future.

"dynamo?"

The three of them, including Beibei, couldn't understand what this thing was.

"Haha, just you watch." Huo Yuhao laughed. "Senior Brother and Big Brother, you two turn the handle from both sides."

The two did as instructed, and then Huo Yuhao took out a soul guide lamp.

This soul-guided lamp is a bit different; the core magic array inside has been removed and replaced with a thread of unknown material.

Everyone present was familiar with soul tools, and in their eyes, this lamp was undoubtedly a piece of junk.

Huo Yuhao connected the wires from the generator to the lamp.

As the copper plate continued to rotate, a miraculous scene unfolded: a dazzling light emanated from the center of the discarded lamp, illuminating the entire laboratory.

Even without a magic array or soul power, the lamp still emitted light.

"How is this possible? How can it glow?!" He Caitou was shocked. A soul tool without soul power was something he never dared to even think about.

Beibei looked at the light and turned the handle; the energy generated by the machine felt very familiar to him.

"This is... electricity?"

Isn't this the kind of electricity that his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul is most familiar with?

Because of what Yuhao said about "magnetism"? What is the connection between magnetism and electricity? Beibei also had her own thoughts.

"That's right. This machine actually references a lot of the body structure of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, so it's feasible to directly convert soul power into electricity. Soul power and electricity don't conflict; they should be able to convert and combine with each other."

Huo Yuhao's eyes shone brightly, and his mind raced with countless sparks of inspiration.

"Just wait, this light will soon illuminate every corner of the Douluo Continent."

Huo Yuhao felt as if he heard a sound that seemed to be endless and never-ending.

That was the sound of gold soul coins falling into his pocket...

No, actually it was the brain being pushed to its limits that caused his mental and spiritual power to rise together, breaking through to level 20.

………………

Fan Yu quickly learned of this matter. He looked at the glowing light bulb with trembling eyes. As an eighth-level soul master, he naturally wanted to know what kind of impact this thing would have.

He then looked at Huo Yuhao, his burning gaze as if he were seeing a monster, a monster of power unlike any other in Shrek Academy, but a monster of wisdom capable of ushering in a new era.

"From today onwards, all resources of the Soul Guidance System will be directed towards Huo Yuhao. Yuhao, you can use them as you see fit," Fan Yu said.

Subsequently, Fan Yu and He Cai Tou participated in Huo Yuhao's electrical appliance research together.

As expected of an eighth-level soul master, after receiving guidance on electrical engineering and with Huo Yuhao's help, he immediately produced many excellent items.

Fan Yu created a conversion device that could be driven by both soul power and electricity.

Huo Yuhao made the battery and, combined with the original soul guide communicator in Douluo Continent, invented an electronic communicator with a longer transmission distance.

After working as a power supply laborer for a long time, He Caitou discovered that hydroelectric power could replace human labor.

"Teacher Fan," Huo Yuhao said thoughtfully, stroking his chin.

"what happened?"

Fan Yu wiped the sweat from his brow, feeling a sense of exhilaration from constantly inventing new things.

"Let's open a factory together."

"what?"

………………

When school lets out, long lines form early at the college gate.

No matter what major events happen at the college, nothing can stop these loyal customers from wanting to eat grilled fish.

"Why isn't Mr. Huo setting up his stall yet?"

"Yes, it's so tempting..."

"Help! I'm going to die if I don't get grilled fish!"

Huo Yuhao arrived shortly afterward.

This time, instead of pushing his grill as usual, he brought over a strangely shaped soul tool.

"Hey junior, what are you carrying? You're not going to stop selling grilled fish, are you? I'm really craving it." The speaker was Xu Sanshi, who was now a loyal customer of grilled fish and was always the first in line.

Although he failed every time he tried to please Jiang Nannan with it, he ate it quite well himself.

"Of course we'll still sell, but we'll do it in a different way," Huo Yuhao said.

"How about another way?" the crowd asked, puzzled.

Huo Yuhao put the large machine down and then erected a large transparent sign on it.

"As you can see, these are two special soul tools. One can help me light the lamps to illuminate the stall, and the other can help me heat up and grill the fish."

The students watching were quite intrigued. They had little experience with soul tools, and most of the ones they had seen were used for killing. This was the first time they had ever seen one used for grilling fish.

"Most importantly, they don't require any soul power!"

Huo Yuhao pressed the button, and the signboard of "Huo's Grilled Fish" flashed, attracting the attention of everyone on the commercial street.

Not only the lights, but also the grilled fish skewered inside the box-shaped soul tool slowly rotated, gradually being cooked and emitting an enticing aroma.

"Everyone, this is my automatic grilled fish vending machine. Just put enough copper soul coins into the coin slot and you can take out the grilled fish inside anytime."

Huo Yuhao pointed to the coin slot of the vending machine and introduced it to everyone.

With this thing, he no longer has to stay here grilling fish all the time, and he can make them in large quantities and place them in various places to increase sales.

"There's one more thing, Senior Jiang Nannan," Huo Yuhao asked Jiang Nannan, who was standing in line, "Have you found a job at the academy yet?"

"Looking for a suitable one." Jiang Nannan asked curiously what this junior who made such delicious grilled fish was asking again.

"A three-ring Soul Master, an agility-type Soul Master with extremely high speed. If I hire you to deliver meals throughout Shrek City, I'll definitely earn more than the academy does. What do you think?"

"Oh? You want me to work for you? Although your business is indeed doing well, can you afford to pay me, junior?" Jiang Nannan didn't feel offended at all, but instead seriously considered it.

"Of course I can guarantee that, given my status as the prospective vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, an eight-ring Soul Douluo, and a direct disciple of an eighth-level Soul Master." Huo Yuhao took out a key bearing the Soul Guidance Department's mark.

Huo Yuhao chuckled inwardly, thinking, "Why not make the most of this identity?"

"He's actually Master Fanyu's personal disciple!" The students watching all knew the significance of this identity.

"Okay, I'll take this job." Jiang Nannan nodded. "What do I need to do?"

"When the message arrives from afar, send the grilled fish over." Huo Yuhao tossed a small, fish-shaped electronic communicator to Jiang Nannan and said, "This is the grilled fish delivery service."

Two rings sounded, and Wang Dong's voice came through the communicator: "Could you please send me two grilled fish? I'm at the entrance of the first-year student dormitory."

Jiang Nannan summoned her martial spirit, her two long, soft-boned rabbit ears stood up, and she took out two grilled fish and disappeared in a flash, returning in an instant.

Wang Dong stared blankly at the two grilled fish that had suddenly appeared in his hand, not yet reacting.

Huo Yuhao told her that as long as she held this little machine and said a few words, he would give her two grilled fish to eat, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Just nine seconds.

Jiang Nannan completed the delivery in just nine seconds, from the school gate to her dormitory and back.

"Agility-type Soul Masters are practically born delivery experts!" Huo Yuhao laughed. Of course, inviting Jiang Nannan to be the first deliveryman wasn't just because of her abilities, but also because her own reputation was the best form of publicity.
