DD2—Chapter 17: I Think This is a Kind of Self-Confidence
"Hehe, my vision is indeed correct. You have improved so much in a short period. As long as you develop according to this momentum, you will be able to become a god! Then I will follow you to become a god, and you will be immortal! Xiao Yuhao, come on! I will always be the most solid backing for you," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said.
Huo Yuhao pulled the corners of his mouth and thought to himself, "Did he have no choice at that time? If he hadn't chosen me, and had been caught by the Beast God Di Tian, it would have been difficult to escape."
After all, if Di Tian could let Tianmeng run away once, how could he let Tianmeng run away a second time?
In today's Douluo Continent, Di Tian is the strongest person below the god level. Whether it is Mu En or Ye Xishui, they can't defeat Di Tian even when fighting alone. Of course, the Tang princess (Wang Dong'er/Tang Wutong) mainly uses her ninth soul skill, Descent of the Sea God, to directly control Di Tian.
After all, Di Tian is not enough to see the fate of the God King.
After a while, Huo Yuhao took a shower, put on his clothes, and came out of the bathroom. After greeting Jing Hongchen, he left Jing Hongchen's residence and the academy.
He planned to take Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to find opportunities for bargains in the chamber of commerce in Mingdu. It would be best to find some treasures that could enhance physical fitness.
You should know that the power of the soul ring of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm will increase as his physical ability increases.
Yalan Chamber of Commerce.
This is a chamber of commerce well-known in Mingdu. Huo Yuhao chose this as his first stop to pick up some bargains. After all, according to the information he had gathered, the Yalan Chamber of Commerce was holding an annual treasure appreciation meeting today.
The so-called treasure appreciation meeting means that the Chamber of Commerce uses its influence to invite major merchants to settle in and allow everyone to sell some good things.
Of course, merchants will raise the price first and then offer discounts to make people feel as though they are getting a deal.
He looked at the long street in front of him, took a deep breath, and walked in. Then, under the guidance of a shopping guide, he arrived at the Yalan Chamber of Commerce office. After receiving an identity wooden sign, he began to participate in this treasure appreciation meeting.
Soon, he found a large number of people gathered around a shop, and the faces of these people showed looks of expectation.
"Does this merchant have any rare treasures to display?" Huo Yuhao became interested and began to ask the female shopping guide beside him.
The female shopping guide shook her head and said with a smile, "Mingdu's famous expert, Teacher Chen, wants to sell his new book, which is why there are so many people here; they are all loyal customers of Teacher Chen."
Expert?
When Huo Yuhao heard this word, he immediately thought of some unpleasant experiences. After all, some experts in his previous life did say all sorts of messy and weird things, leaving a deep impression on him.
"Does this Teacher Chen have any real skills?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"Of course. Teacher Chen is a respectable scholar. Even His Majesty has met Teacher Chen and praised the books he wrote.
Teacher Chen will promote the new book later. You can stay and listen for a while. I believe that Teacher Chen's words will open up a new world for you," the female shopping guide said with a smile.
Huo Yuhao was stunned and hesitated. The main reason was that the experts in his previous life had left a deep impression on him, and there were many hidden talents in the Douluo Continent.
The most typical example is Master Yu Xiaogang. His saying, "There is no waste of martial soul, only waste of soul master," impressed him.
At this time, a middle-aged man driving a flying soul guidance device rose from the shop. He cleared his throat and said, "Hello everyone, I am Teacher Chen Wei. Today I want to present my new book, 'On the Sun Moon Empire: I Think This is a Kind of Self-Confidence.' Before selling this book, I would like to say a few simple sentences first."
"As we all know, the Sun Moon Empire is the most advanced empire on this continent, and it is also the place with the highest happiness index. If you just find someone on the streets of the Sun Moon Empire and ask him if he is happy, he will say that he is happy. I think this is a kind of self-confidence.
The people of the Star Luo Empire, Heavenly Soul Empire, and Dou Spirit Empire are living in dire straits and great pain."
"Why is this happening? The main reason is that their soul guidance technology is far behind ours. I always believe that developing a soul guidance device is a matter that benefits the country and the people.
Of course, when I say this, some people will not believe it. They might say, 'You have never been to these three empires; how can you know that their citizens live in dire straits?'"
"Sorry, I have been there, and I have lived in the Star Luo Empire, Heavenly Soul Empire, and Dou Spirit Empire for a while. According to my visits and investigations, I can tell you with certainty that the people of these three empires and soul masters are generally dissatisfied with reality and have thoughts of being Sun Moon people in the next life."
"It is obvious that they are not confident. The root cause of their lack of confidence lies in their outdated soul-guidance technology.
Let me give you a simple example. In winter, the small nobles of the Heavenly Soul Empire use coal to keep warm, while ordinary people freeze. The nobles of our Sun Moon Empire rely on soul guidance devices to keep warm, while the common people use coal. From this point of view, we have won."
"Of course, this is just a small example of how our Sun Moon Empire excels. Compared to the Star Luo Empire, Dou Spirit Empire, and Heavenly Soul Empire, the Sun Moon Empire has triumphed in all aspects; it's simply a matter of small wins, medium wins, and large wins. I have coined a term for Sun Moon Empire's achievements: continuous victory!"
"Because our Sun Moon Empire has been winning, I believe the confidence of Sun Moon people increases day by day! Once our Sun Moon Empire goes to war with the Three Kingdoms, under the wise leadership of His Majesty, our advanced soul guidance devices will inevitably give them headaches!
Moreover, I know people from the military and have come into contact with some high-level soul guidance devices. I can tell you with certainty that as soon as the war begins, our nine-level fixed-mounted soul guidance shells will shock these three empires!"
Teacher Chen Wei paused for a moment when he said this.
Then thunderous applause erupted, and everyone looked at Chen Wei with excitement. Even the shopping guide next to Huo Yuhao was so excited that she could hardly stand still.
Huo Yuhao twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that Chen Wei was indeed correct in some aspects. Some of the little nobles of the Heavenly Soul Empire did rely on coal for warmth.
The nobles used coal, while ordinary people had no chance to use it. Ordinary people in the Three Kingdoms of Douluo were indeed worse off than ordinary people in the Sun Moon Empire.
Moreover, the advanced soul guidance devices significantly impacted the Three Kingdoms of Douluo. After all, the sun moon's soul guidance devices had indeed caused the Three Kingdoms of Douluo to decline.
The Sun Moon Empire almost unified the Douluo Continent. If it weren't for Tang San's mechanical slayer, the Douluo Continent would have been renamed the Sun Moon Continent.
However, he always felt that Teacher Chen Wei's words sounded uncomfortably familiar.
"Teacher Chen, I have a question. May I speak with you?" asked a Mediterranean man near the shop.
"You may speak, but if there is something you can't discuss, just say it," Teacher Chen Wei replied generously.
"I learned through some channels that you have fifty properties in Shrek City, Star Luo City, and Heaven Dou City, and you have lived in these three cities for at least 100 days each year. How do you explain that? Do you anticipate that once the war starts, the Sun Moon Empire will lose, so you are already prepared to retreat?" the Mediterranean man asked coldly.
Teacher Chen Wei was stunned for a moment, and his face changed slightly. He rolled his eyes and then said in a deep voice, "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. I do these things just to go deep behind enemy lines and experience the feeling of living in dire straits! Only by understanding the enemy can I better help the Sun Moon Empire defeat them!"
