Chapter 71 New Year, return gift
There is no New Year in Douluo Continent. In the past 18 years, Chi Ping spent 12 of the New Years in cultivation.
Now that he is considered successful in his practice, Chi Ping suddenly feels that he should probably take a holiday for himself and celebrate the holidays.
His initial obsession with practicing was to go home, for no other reason than that he could not find his own thoughts.
Although as time went by, Chi Ping also developed bonds and friendship in Douluo Continent, he still wanted to go back and have a look. This time it’s not for anything else, I just want to see it, so my obsession is over. After reading it, come back and continue to be the dean.
…
The first thing in the new year is to prepare new year's goods. The Prince's Mansion naturally has its own supply of ingredients, but what Chi Ping wanted was that feeling, and using food prepared by others would be inferior.
On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Chi Ping went out to the vegetable market.
Although it was a year later, Shrek Academy's performance was so amazing that Chi Ping didn't dare to bet on whether anyone could recognize him, so he still maintained his disguise.
Fish, meat, vegetables, rice and noodles...
The country's bumper harvest is not just staple food, but also various vegetables. The effect of Chiping mycelium is to improve the fertility of the land, which is equivalent to making land unsuitable for farming suitable for farming.
Whatever you plant on the transformed land will yield a good harvest. Even if there is a natural disaster.
From morning to noon, Chi Ping left the vegetable market carrying packages of all sizes.
On the way back to the Prince's Mansion, Chi Ping suddenly felt some inquiring eyes.
"What a troublesome thing!"
——If I had known better, I wouldn’t have given that guy so many game design drawings.
The fighting doll piqued Xue Qinghe's interest. After getting the design, he went to the Soul Guidance Workshop to make a batch of well-decorated products and opened a separate store.
After a series of marketing methods, fighting dolls began to become popular among the upper echelons of Tiandou. Of course, it is Tiandou Academy that purchases the most.
Fist and kick kung fu are also part of a soul master's abilities. Fighting dolls can practice soul control and allow students to observe fighting from a third-party perspective, which is a good teaching tool.
Not only did Xue Qinghe make a lot of money, he also made a small fortune.
Later, he asked Chi Ping to design several other types of game soul guides, such as tower defense strategies, military chess deductions, etc.
The income is considerable.
Moreover, Xue Qinghe also took this opportunity to make good friends with the families of many ministers.
Then……
Then Chi Ping was targeted.
The enemy can't attack Xue Qinghe, why can't they attack Chi Ping?
It's just that Chi Ping has been staying in Qingzhu Garden and they can't find a chance.
Chi Ping connected to the underground mycelium, sensed the surrounding environment, and then found a surveillance blind spot, changed his appearance and got rid of tracking.
…
You have to deal with the New Year’s goods when you bring them home, such as fried fish, fried crispy meat, croquettes, steamed egg dumplings, steamed meat, steamed meatballs, braised pig heads, braised chicken feet...meats need to be made into such semi-finished products so that they can be preserved longer.
Chi Ping set up a small oil pan in Qingzhu Garden and closed the courtyard door.
The spicy and tempting smell filled the courtyard, making Gou's mouth water.
"It smells so good!"
Xue Qinghe slipped into the small courtyard at some point and picked up the fish pieces that Chi Ping had put aside to drain the oil.
"Hmm... delicious!"
Chi Ping was stunned for a moment.
In the past, he was like this when his mother was preparing fried food for the New Year.
"Slow down, be careful."
Chi Ping's voice became very gentle, as if he was deliberately imitating the tone in his memory.
"Ugh! Ouch!"
Seeing Xue Qinghe eating so hard that he couldn't speak clearly, Chi Ping smiled in memory.
Chi Ping's cooking is not very good, and Xue Qinghe is also used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. After tasting something new, he stopped and sat aside to chat with Chi Ping.
"Is this a custom in your hometown?" Xue Qinghe asked curiously.
Chi Ping shook his head and nodded again. "What does this mean?"
"I don't want to say it."
"I thought we were friends and could talk about anything." Xue Qinghe showed a sad expression.
Chi Ping squinted his eyes with a "just pretend" expression.
"Even friends have secrets they don't want to tell. If you don't deal with business, why are you here?"
"I smelled the fragrance, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect you to make delicious food behind my back."
"Dog nose!"
"You are facing the prince of the dynasty! Be careful how I punish you!"
"That's the noble dog nose."
"Then you are the fungus man!"
"Dog nose!"
"Fungi Man!"
…
They were chatting and laughing, and before they knew it, Chi Ping finished cooking the fried food and put the stew pot on the fire.
Xue Qinghe took out two knives, a sword, a small shield, and a belt from the storage soul guide and placed them on the small table where the explosives were placed.
"According to you, the five soul tools I took from the royal treasury should all be level 6 soul tools. Let's play with them!"
He waved his hand with great pride.
"Intact?" Chi Ping asked blankly.
"At least 80% new."
"So generous?"
Although he really wanted to dismantle a few high-end soul tools, his plan was to buy those soul tools that were about to be scrapped and dismantle them. And we plan to dismantle more level 3 and level 4 soul guides first!
Level 6 soul tools are considered to be immortal treasures. Does Xue Qinghe mean to let him dismantle them at will?
Chi Ping reminded, "I won't have a chance to regret it if I do it. I can't guarantee that I can get back this high-level soul tool."
Xue Qinghe said confidently, "You will get something if you put in the effort. This is my experience."
Chi Ping reached out and pulled these soul tools to his side and put them into the storage soul tools.
"The results of the research will be given to you as soon as possible."
Xue Qinghe looked at Chi Ping in surprise, "I thought you, a research madman, would just open it!"
"I don't want to move these days. I will start working again after the New Year."
"So this festival is called the New Year!"
Chi Ping nodded and said lonely, "I am the only one who can celebrate this festival."
…
I don’t know when the slave business at Tiandou Auction House was severely suppressed.
The prince personally took charge of the crackdown on the slave trade, aiming to completely eliminate the slave trade. He even made a promise in court!
Somewhere in Tiandou City, several people in luxurious clothes sat around a round table.
"Who is it?"
The noble man sitting at the head, holding a blood ruby in his hand, suppressed his anger.
It has been almost half a year. Every time the Tiandou Auction House receives a captured slave, someone notifies Xue Qinghe, and then they both get the stolen goods.
No matter what method is used, false news, traps, baits, ambushes...
It’s no use!
Xue Qinghe can always accurately find the location, time, and staffing of the handover, allowing more and stronger subordinates to come and steal the stolen goods.
Since the country's great harvest, more and more soul masters have come to seek refuge in Xue Qinghe.
There are quite a few individual soul masters. Most of them came from poor backgrounds and relied on perseverance to turn themselves around. Their attachment to their hometown makes them reluctant to join the soul master family and sect. Xueqinghe has brought about a great harvest across the country, and there is a faint tendency for tens of thousands of families to have their own temples. These individual soul masters will naturally come to seek refuge. Not everyone will abandon their family and children. Family is the weakness of most people.
"Tell me, which of your men leaked the wind?"
Everyone at the round table was silent. They also couldn't figure out how the information was leaked, and suspicious eyes shot out from everyone's eyes.
"I don't want to have to find out who is under your command next time." The person at the top of the list said coldly.
