Chapter 133 What? Wang Dong'er ran away?!
"What? Treasure Appreciation Meeting?"
Lin Yun looked at Ning Tian with a bewildered expression, as well as at a fiery red invitation on the table in front of him. The invitation was inscribed with three large characters in gilt patterns.
Treasure Appreciation Meeting.
"Yes, you could not be found anywhere last night, so Teacher Mu gave the invitation to me first and asked me to pass it on to you." Ning Tian looked at Lin Yun with a gentle and appropriate smile on her face.
A similar invitation was also in front of Xiao Xiao.
"Brother Yun, shall we go take a look?" Xiao Xiao looked at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun pondered for a while, then nodded.
The Treasure Appreciation Meeting is a chamber of commerce under Shrek Academy. The person in charge of this term is a Titled Douluo elder from the Sea God Pavilion, whose name seems to be Lin Huiqun.
Of course, in the description of the original work, the Treasure Appreciation Meeting is a chamber of commerce organized jointly by multiple chambers in Shrek City. But those who understand will understand.
With both offering treasures and giving credit quotas, would Shrek allow you chambers of commerce to recruit my Shrek's genius students?
Don't even think about it.
Only a fool would think this rumor is true.
The Treasure Appreciation Meeting is essentially used by Shrek to bind those civilian students with good talent but no background forces and few cultivation resources.
First, they give you good things for you to accept. As long as you take it, you owe Shrek. One day, they will make you pay it back with interest.
If you cannot pay it back, you will be Shrek's tool for a lifetime.
Moreover, this Treasure Appreciation Meeting is divided into two different scales: inner courtyard and outer courtyard. First, let those Shrek direct descendants in the inner courtyard who have already been brainwashed choose first.
Only after they finish choosing is it the turn of the core disciples in the outer courtyard.
However, it must be said that there are still quite a few good things at the Treasure Appreciation Meeting, as long as one can afford the money.
For example, that piece of ten thousand year Whale Glue in the original work is quite suitable for the current Xiao Xiao.
Speaking of which, Lin Yun has never eaten this Whale Glue stuff. Firstly, because the cultivation resources in the Star Dou Great Forest are plentiful.
Secondly, because this stuff is only abundant in coastal and deep sea areas; no matter how one thinks about it, there cannot be whales in the forest.
In addition, as the possessor of the Golden Dragon King martial soul, Lin Yun's physical quality is already incredibly powerful, so he simply does not need Whale Glue. This is also the reason why he did not actively seek out Whale Glue.
However...
Since I have come to another world, how can I not experience the feeling of picking up a bargain?
Giving it to Xiao Xiao to use is better than giving it to Huo Yuhao.
"Then let's go take a look. We don't have any other arrangements tonight anyway. Let's see if there is anything at the so-called Treasure Appreciation Meeting that can generate a desire to purchase in me!" Lin Yun said with a smile.
"Then let's go together tonight; Xiao Feng and I also plan to take a look," Ning Tian spoke in a warm voice.
"Although our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is also a sect of a similar commercial nature, in terms of connections, our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is inferior to Shrek Academy. There are some things at the Treasure Appreciation Meeting that even I would want to buy."
There was thirty percent meaning in Ning Tian's words that she truly wanted to go shopping, but the other seventy percent was actually wanting to follow Lin Yun.
As everyone knows.
A major characteristic of hidden sects is being cut off from the world. Being cut off from the world implies that the sect's revenue channels might be very few, and funds are destined not to be plentiful.
And coincidentally, what the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lacks least is money; they have as much as they want.
If Lin Yun happens to fancy something at the Treasure Appreciation Meeting and the money in his hand is not enough, Ning Tian, this walking little rich woman, can fully utilize her greatest advantage.
She does not seek to make Lin Yun owe her anything, but only seeks for the relationship between the two to become a bit closer.
Spending some money is very worth it.
Very soon, the curriculum of the first day after advancing to the second grade ended just like that. After returning to the dormitory and washing up a bit, Lin Yun waited downstairs at the dormitory building for the arrival of Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian.
While Lin Yun was closing his eyes to rest his mind, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching him.
Opening his eyes, a sturdy figure was reflected in Lin Yun's bright golden pupils.
"Brother Yun!" Huo Yuhao waved his hand at Lin Yun and greeted him with a smile.
"It is you." Lin Yun nodded.
Huo Yuhao walked forward and asked curiously, "Brother Yun, are you waiting for someone here?"
"Isn't this quite obvious? If not waiting for someone, there is no need for me to stand here!" Lin Yun looked at Huo Yuhao with some amusement.
"That is true." Huo Yuhao scratched his head with a silly smile and reached into his pocket to take out a very familiar red invitation with gilt patterns. This was Huo Yuhao's invitation to the Treasure Appreciation Meeting.
In the advancement assessment, Huo Yuhao chose a thousand year soul beast for the assessment and revealed his Titan Snow Demon second martial soul. He crushed that thousand year soul beast, obtaining a high score of one hundred and forty-five points.
He also renewed his core disciple trial card into a permanent usage voucher.
He also possessed the qualification for the Treasure Appreciation Meeting.
"Are you also going to the Treasure Appreciation Meeting?" Huo Yuhao raised the invitation in his hand.
"Yes, besides me, there are also Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng. I am currently waiting for the three of them." Lin Yun also took out his own invitation.
"Then shall we go together?"
"Naturally, that is fine."
Thus, Huo Yuhao also stood beside Lin Yun, looking just like a loyal bodyguard beside a young master from a wealthy family.
"Your mood seems a bit off these past two days. I remember you were quite happy the day you came back for the start of school; did something happen?"
Since there was someone to talk to beside him, Lin Yun did not continue to close his eyes to rest his mind, but chatted with Huo Yuhao.
Hearing Lin Yun bring up this topic, much of Huo Yuhao's original good mood vanished, and his expression stiffened somewhat.
He did not really want to mention this topic. However, no matter what, Lin Yun was the only person Huo Yuhao had a relatively good relationship with at Shrek Academy.
"Sigh, Brother Yun, there is something you do not know." Huo Yuhao sighed and shook his head helplessly. "Do you still remember that roommate of mine?"
"I remember, Wang Dong. When you guys fought at the start of school, I was watching from the side." Lin Yun nodded.
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao felt even more helpless: "Yes, it is him, a weirdo with a young master's temper all over. Except for that initial period, since the freshman assessment, my relationship with him was actually considered okay."
"But after I awakened my second martial soul this time and my appearance changed greatly, he showed very intense malice toward me."
Lin Yun crossed his arms with interest and lifted his chin to signal Huo Yuhao to continue speaking.
"And then?"
"And then? What else could happen? We had a big quarrel and almost fought again. He moved out that very day, saying something about how living in the same dormitory as me was disgusting..."
Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, and a fierce glint appeared on his rough face.
Wang Dong was the first person to explicitly attack his appearance, which made Huo Yuhao very annoyed.
To mock my appearance, Wang Dong is already on a path to death!
However, the expression of watching a show on Lin Yun's face stiffened.
What the hell?!
Princess Tang ran away?!
