Become the Archbishop from Douluo

"Okay, the rooms for you two are 327 and 328. Here is your room card."

Tang San took the room card, "Thank you."

After giving the room card to Xiao Wu, Tang San went back to his room to practice. As a steady leveling madman, practice was everything. Apart from going to the restaurant inside the hotel with Xiao Wu for a casual dinner, what happened next?

Almost all time is spent in cultivation, and a night passes in a blink of an eye.

This hotel seems to have considered the needs of guests for cultivation. There is even an auxiliary soul guide in the room, which can help cultivators better absorb the soul power between heaven and earth. This novel device made Tang San feel

It's very comfortable and I can only feel that it's a big city.

Although he was curious, he couldn't just take it apart and check it out, so Tang San planned to go shopping today to see what new things the city had, which would attract so many businessmen, and it just so happened that Xiao Wu also wanted to go shopping.

Seeing that the sun had risen, Tang San was ready to find Xiao Wu, have a meal with her, and then go out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu couldn't wait to say as soon as they met: "Brother, come with me to go out and play, okay? Aren't you bored in the room all the time?"

Tang San smiled and said: "Okay, I just want to see how different this big city is. I heard that there is a very good place called the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce. Let's go and have a look."

"Okay, it's all up to you." Xiao Wu just wants to enjoy shopping and spending money, and doesn't care where she goes.

Today's Star and Moon Hotel is even more lively than yesterday. In addition to businessmen, there are many more parents with children. This is not surprising. After all, starting from tomorrow is the school entrance season, and many children from villages and towns come to Soto.

It is normal to study in the city.

Tang San took a look while passing by the bar. The Xingyue Hotel was now overcrowded and there were no vacancies at all. The hotel waiters were taking the trouble to inform those who couldn't stay in the location of the branches. It seemed that the Xingyue Hotel was a chain in Soto City.

, there are more than ten branches. To be able to open such a large scale, there must be someone powerful behind it.

The key is that the room rate for an ordinary room here only costs 1 silver coin a day. For people with soul masters and businessmen at home, it is almost the same as living for free. Even ordinary people can afford it if they squeeze in. For this kind of environment

To say the least, it's worth the money.

After leaving the hotel, the two of them inquired all the way and headed towards the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce.

If the journey from entering the city to Xingyue Hotel was reasonable, the following journey became more and more magical. The original ordinary urban area was almost gone, and all kinds of gorgeous products dazzled them.

For example, the patrol team holding black iron sticks in their hands, wearing black leather clothes, patrolling in this area with neat steps, full of momentum, there are also many display screens on the building, which are playing in real time.

Some images of promotional items and various novel products can be seen everywhere. The carriages almost completely disappeared and were replaced by some slightly smaller steel vehicles.

It can be said that everything from travel tools to stoves used by chefs and equipment used by tailors are completely different. Not only has this been something Tang San has never seen as a country bumpkin in this life, but even if he has read about Tang Sect in his previous life

He had never heard of such a thing in the classics. Perhaps only the legendary Mohist family had some understanding of this kind of thing. Unfortunately, he could not go back and ask.

….

At this moment, Tang San suddenly realized something - if his past life memories are not of any help to this life, then they are completely useless. Whether it is the hidden weapons, poisons, or Xuantian Baolu that the Tang Sect can handle, they are probably useless.

in this way.

The amazing results of Xiujian made him despise Douluo Continent in recent years. He always thought that as long as he copied all the hidden weapons, he could be invincible. But now, looking at it, he is just a man sitting in a well.

It's just a frog. He has only scratched the surface of this world. This Soto City is just the main city of a kingdom. If it reaches the imperial city of the empire or Wuhun City, what an astonishing sight it will be.

"Hey, Xiao San, look at those shops, why do some of the plaques have a mark on them?" Just as Tang San was thinking deeply, Xiao Wu suddenly shouted in surprise.

Tang San looked along her hand, and saw that the shops on both sides of the road seemed a little different. Some plaques had a square seal engraved on them, which read "Jiuzhou," two words. Shops with this seal have particularly good business.

This is true whether it is a restaurant, a clothing store, or a tailor shop. This seems to be a certain symbol of certainty.

Walking into a clothing store with Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu was shocked by the various styles she had never seen before and couldn't wait to choose.

Tang San glanced at it and found that the quality of these clothes was very fine, but the price was not expensive. There were also clothes that ordinary people could afford, and the quality was pretty good. This couldn't help but make him even more surprised - this Soto City

Are all those doing business there philanthropists?

Seeing that Xiao Wu had been choosing clothes, Tang San didn't keep staring and asked the waiter standing at the door: "Hello, I would like to ask why the word 'Kyuzhou' is engraved on the plaque of your store.

, the business is better than other stores?"

It's still morning, and it's not a day off. Logically speaking, it's a time when people are busy working and studying. However, there are already more than ten customers in the store. If it were the afternoon and evening, there would probably be more.

The waiter smiled and then said: "Sir, are you a foreigner? In Soto City, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce is the only giant. It allows most people in Soto City to live a good life.

The most basic thing about life is that you won’t see any thieves or gangsters on the streets. Going a step further, it provides a new way for poor people like us who originally had no way to support ourselves except selling ourselves.”

"Because of this, the prestige of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce has far surpassed that of the city lord's palace. They will not compete with us, the lower class people, for the sake of making more money, and even provide a large number of jobs. Therefore, everyone is thinking of the good of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce. As for you

The seal mentioned actually represents the recognition of a certain store by the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and the stores they recognize are more likely to be respected by the people of Soto City."

"I see." Tang San nodded. The Kyushu Chamber of Commerce actually has such influence. If he goes to school in Soto City, he may have to deal with it.

Tang San didn't think deeply about it. Although the establishment of the Kyushu Empire was not a secret, for the poor Notting City on the southwest border, the news was basically impossible to spread, not only to local officials and Wuhun Palace, but also to the common people.

No one cares about these things, and no one will take the initiative to inform them of such unreachable news. I am afraid that only when the master is not disabled, he may understand these things and drag people to get some information. But with the assassination incident,

It happened, no one dared to continue bringing messages to the master.

….

Soon, Xiao Wu picked out the new clothes she wanted, and Tang San naturally paid directly, and then the two of them went to the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce in the center of the city.

The Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce occupies a large area and covers almost an entire area. There is a five-story foreign trade building in each of the four directions. The buildings behind are basically warehouses or other functional areas.

After merchants select the goods they want to buy in bulk here, they can go to the warehouse area behind to pay. They can choose to use their own fleet to pull the goods, or they can purchase door-to-door delivery services. Trucks carrying goods are constantly

Driving out of it, the whole scene looked quite spectacular.

If it is an ordinary customer, just pay and leave.

When you walk into the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, what you will see is an extremely huge hall. A variety of products are displayed at various counters, from low-end to high-end, whether they are ordinary tools like hammers and sickles or high-end ones.

There were all kinds of soul guidance devices and technological products, as well as a booth selling those steel monsters. After Tang San took a closer look, he realized that this thing was called a soul power car.

But no matter what they are, they have only one characteristic, and that is excellence, incomparable excellence. Even the sickle used to cut wheat is as sharp as if it could kill people. Tools of this quality are simply beyond the reach of human beings, let alone...

The blacksmiths in Notting City, even if they mastered the random cloak hammering technique, could not achieve it at all.

Even the most useless iron hammer does not seem to be a simple iron block, but a compressed iron block. The density and weight have reached a new height, and the upper limit for manufacturing has also reached a new level.

will be higher, and even

There are many different models, corresponding to various usage environments and a person's strength factors. Generally speaking, as long as you are a relevant practitioner, you can always find a tool that suits you here.

Thinking of this, Tang San was ready to buy a hammer, but after taking only two steps, an inconspicuous ornament on the edge of the stairs not far away suddenly caught his attention.

It was a piece of crystal. It looked inconspicuous. It was only about the size of a human head. It was transparent. It was artificially cut into an almost perfect sphere and placed on a shelf that suited it perfectly.

But even if you don't look closely, you can still see that there are large dark yellow impurities inside. Logically speaking, it is not a high-end thing, but this crystal made Tang San's heartbeat instantly accelerate, and his eyes flashed with light. How could he?

Unexpectedly, I would see such a crystal in such a prominent location here at the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce.

Xiao Wu naturally discovered Tang San's change, "Xiao San, what are you looking at this rotten crystal for? I'm afraid it's not easy to find anything worse than this among the crystals. This crystal has no luster at all, and its transparency is also poor.

It doesn’t come with a color, you’re not going to buy something like this, are you?”

"Xiao Wu." Tang San said a little helplessly: "You really should change your temper. Think about it, why would such a large chamber of commerce use this crystal as an eye-catching ornament? Even if it is

It’s really worthless. Being placed here also shows the preference of the owner here. I’m afraid the value of this thing will soar as soon as the news gets out, and its value must be measured by the original standards.”

….

For example, one day Emperor Tiandou revealed that he liked a special green stone. Even if the stone itself had no value, the nobles and officials below would collect this worthless thing as quickly as possible.

They also selected the top, middle and bottom quality and sent the selected ones to the emperor. The influence of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce in Soto City was obviously similar.

Just like this, Tang San couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. If this was really the case, then it would be impossible for him to take this thing down.

How could Xiao Wu understand this truth? After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't figure out the reason, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

Tang San looked at the crystal, hesitated for a moment, but was still ready to give it a try. After all, its true use had not been discovered, so as a worthless crystal, even if its value was increased ten times, I'm afraid it would still be within his tolerance.

Guess, thinking about it this way, Tang San was still ready to give it a try.

Thinking of this, Tang San found a shop not far from the stairs and asked the receptionist: "Hello, I would like to ask, if I want to buy that crystal, who should I ask?"

【In view of the general environment,

"Are you talking about that crystal? This is an ornament from our Chamber of Commerce. If you want to buy it, I can help you contact our president. If it can be sold, she should send someone to discuss this matter with you."

"Thank you, sorry for bothering you."

Hearing this, the receptionist walked aside, picked up the sound transmission soul guide, and told the story about someone wanting to buy the crystal.

After a few minutes, a smartly dressed woman came down and asked, "Are you going to buy this crystal?"

Seeing this woman, the receptionist on the side quickly bowed and saluted: "Mr. President."

Tang San took a look, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. The woman in front of him looked like she was in her early twenties, with only a light makeup on her face, but her mature and beautiful temperament couldn't be concealed at all. It was hard to imagine.

She is actually the manager here, maybe she got her position through some other means...

At this time, Tang San didn't realize at all how frightened Xiao Wu's expression had become.

"You are the president here? You look so young."

The woman nodded, but did not answer Tang San's words. She just said in a business-like manner: "My name is Wu Rou. There is no need to say polite words. If you want to buy this crystal, just give me a suitable price.

I'm very busy. Unless you want to buy more than ten crystals like this, I might be able to accompany you to the warehouse in person."

"...Do you have a lot of these crystals here? What I want is exactly the same as this one." Tang San asked in shock.

From what the other party said, it seems that this crystal has been stored in at least a warehouse, which is estimated to be a few hundred yuan at least. Even if the amount of gold in it is relatively small, under this amount, there will be quite a harvest.

It's a pity that he only has 500 gold soul coins on hand.

Thinking of this, Tang San struggled for a while, and finally said: "Two hundred gold soul coins?"

Ye Hua's heart is clear
