Chapter 124 Oh no, we crashed into something.
Huo Yuhao returned to Shrek City a year early, ending his exchange and learning journey ahead of schedule.
Seeing the familiar city buildings after a long time, Huo Yuhao strolled around leisurely.
Shrek City has expanded considerably in size compared to before, and is now nearly the size of Dou San.
Various associations were also established one after another, with the Blacksmith Association, Soul Master Association, and Mech Association flourishing.
With Huo Yuhao's technical support, various associations have recruited a lot of talent, especially the Soul Master Association.
With the generous sponsorship of the Sun Moon Empire, the Soul Master Association has developed exceptionally rapidly.
There are now seventeen level nine soul masters, and the number of level eight soul masters is close to one hundred.
With the support of a large number of high-level Soul Masters, the Soul Master Association's annual income is quite considerable.
The commission fees alone are enough to maintain the basic operation of the academy, making it Shrek Academy's undisputed core industry.
A level 9 soul tool costs between 20 and 30 million gold soul coins, and a 2% handling fee is charged for each commission.
In other words, a single customized transaction by a level nine Soul Master can earn nearly 600,000 Gold Soul Coins.
It should be noted that Huo Yuhao's apprenticeship gift was only 100,000 gold soul coins. For Xu Sanshi, as the young master of a sect, taking out tens of thousands of gold soul coins would be a huge financial burden.
Currently, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Association earns an average of around ten million gold soul coins per day.
The daily trading volume of low-level soul tools is not low, but the association has not yet established a branch and cannot accept commissions from all over the continent.
The association model is still too advanced in the current version, far ahead of the current one-to-one trading model.
Huo Yuhao observed the operating models of the various associations from a distance and did not find any major problems for the time being.
The only omission was the high-level Soul Masters they took from Mingde Hall; Huo Yuhao had promised them a share exceeding that in the Sun Moon Empire.
However, this problem will not be a problem for the next hundred years after the three warehouses have been emptied.
It's hard to say whether those people will live for a hundred years or not, and the next batch of Soul Masters won't be given such high conditions, so the problem has been basically solved.
Huo Yuhao walked along the sidewalk toward the residential area with his hands in his pockets.
He passed by many restaurants along the way, and he recognized the signs of a few of them from when he used to sell grilled fish at a stall.
Unexpectedly, his former fellow vendors who used to set up stalls next to him have now all opened their own shops, and the shops are quite nicely decorated.
The residential area is located right next to the college gate, which is indeed a good place to open a restaurant. In addition to the families of the residents, students sometimes come out for a meal when they are craving something delicious.
This was thanks to Huo Yuhao's wise suggestion; the outrageous gate facing the forest was finally changed to a back gate, which led to the relatively reasonable plan we have now.
Shrek City now resembles Huo Yuhao's previous life in some way, with high-rise buildings lining the residential areas and various soul tools making up for the lack of technology.
Parents can be seen picking up their children at the college gate, buying some snacks from the roadside stalls and chatting and laughing as they wait for their kids to come out.
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a joy at seeing his hometown. He had always thought that he could only see such a scene in his dreams, but he never expected that the scene would be recreated one day.
Looking up at the sky, Huo Yuhao saw a clear blue sky with fluffy clouds and a bright sun hanging high in the sky, bringing warmth and making him feel cheerful.
Huo Yuhao took out his soul communication device and sent a message to Fan Yu, saying that he didn't plan to go back to the academy first; he wanted to experience the night market in the city first.
In the kitchen, Fan Yu, wearing an apron, was stir-frying vegetables over a high flame when her soul-guided communicator, which was placed on the vegetable washing table, vibrated.
Turning the switch to reduce the flame, Fan Yu moved a few steps, picked up the soul-guided communicator, and saw the message on the screen.
A smile appeared on Fan Yu's cold face. He turned on the stove again, stir-fried the vegetable leaves a few more times, and put them directly into his storage card.
Huo Yuhao wanted to treat him to a meal, but he decided to postpone the stir-fried evergreen leaves until another day, so he could improve his diet.
As night fell, Huo Yuhao gazed wistfully at the brightly lit city. Would he ever have the chance to return to his hometown?
Huo Yuhao didn't know the answer to this question, and who could predict the future? All he could do was live well in the present.
After the toasts and laughter of friends and family, Huo Yuhao stood under the soul-guided streetlight, quietly gazing at his own shadow, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
Unfortunately, this tranquility did not last long. Ye Guyi stumbled and grabbed his shoulder, putting all her weight on him.
"You really are something. If you can't drink, then drink less. This is a fine product made from rare and exotic herbs. Drinking too much will make you feel unwell."
Huo Yuhao reluctantly led her back to Poseidon Island, pushed open the metal detector door, and strode into the room he hadn't lived in for a long time.
Contrary to expectations of dust everywhere, the room was spotless, with clean floors and furniture, suggesting that it was regularly cleaned.
Huo Yuhao didn't think much of it, assuming that the elders had arranged for someone to tidy up. He pressed the switch on the soul guide lamp, carried Ye Guyi, and headed towards the guest room.
The moment the door opened, Huo Yuhao and Xu Jiujiu's eyes met, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
It is known that Huo Yuhao and Xu Jiujiu made a promise to marry in the future three years ago. Now, he is carrying Ye Guyi back to his home and is caught by Xu Jiujiu.
Most importantly, the relationship between him and Ye Guyi is really unclear, which makes it difficult to handle.
It was Xu Jiujiu who broke the awkward silence first, "This must be Sister Ye Guyi, right? I heard Elder Xuan mention her before. I'll take care of her."
Xu Jiujiu took Ye Guyi, whose head was still spinning, and helped her lie down on his bed.
Then I took a pillow and placed it under her back so that her head could be slightly raised to relieve the discomfort of being drunk.
After a long time, the quilt was pressed under Ye Guyi's body. Huo Yuhao tried to pull it off but couldn't, so he took a quilt and covered her with it.
To his surprise, Ye Guyi grabbed his arm tightly as soon as he covered her. Knowing that she had just emerged from the shadow of revenge, Huo Yuhao could only sit on the edge of the bed and give Xu Jiujiu a helpless smile.
"It's alright, I don't care about these things. We have a contractual relationship, and you haven't breached it, so you don't need to feel guilty about it."
After tidying up her nightgown, she sat on the other side of the bed, looking at Huo Yuhao tenderly. Her expression was gentle and unreadable.
"I've been away from the academy for over a year. How have you been adjusting?" Huo Yuhao changed the subject, inquiring about Xu Jiujiu's recent situation.
