)Chapter 264 Shrek Academy is auctioned off, Ning Tianchen forms a private team ()Ning Tianchen thought for a while and expressed his thoughts:
"Qibao Shopping Mall is the commercial center we have artificially designated. However, a city cannot have only one commercial center. If possible, we can build a secondary commercial center on this land."
Previously, he said that the land of Shrek Academy would be transformed into a warehouse, but it was just a casual remark.
Such good land cannot be wasted.
Ning Fengzhi asked in return: "In this way, wouldn't the traffic flow of Qibao Shopping Mall be diverted? Over time, it will affect the rent of shops."
Ning Tianchen shook his head, "Not really. Tiandou City is very big, and Qibao Mall is indeed the center of the city, but the radiating range is ultimately limited. Some people who live far away rarely go to Qibao Mall."
"If we build a secondary commercial center, we can take advantage of this part of the traffic. Of course, the scale of the secondary commercial center must not be larger than Qibao Shopping Mall, otherwise I will be wasting my time."
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, felt that it made some sense, and agreed.
"The land auction has not started yet. Recently, our first task is to sell the championship team's uniforms."
Selling souvenirs isn't a big business, but it can have a profound impact.
Ning Fengzhi wanted to use the title of champion of the Soul Master Competition to make the name of Qibao Academy famous throughout the continent.
No, it should be called Qibao Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy now.
After talking for a while, Ning Fengzhi decided to delegate power to Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong, allowing them to participate in the management of sect affairs.
Ning Fengzhi has not made any decision regarding the young sect leader.
In his opinion, both of them are still young and need a period of experience and accumulation before he can examine their abilities in the future.
In the following days, Ning Tianchen spent his days practicing with Jian Douluo and tinkering with the design drawings of firearms.
In the previous life, an ordinary rifle could reach a range of more than 300 meters. Among Tang San's hidden weapons, the longest range was only 50 meters. Except for the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, the range of other mechanical hidden weapons was usually only about 20 meters.
I don't deny the power of hidden weapons, but at such a close distance, the enemy can arrive in an instant, and even if the user can severely injure the enemy, he will be injured. Not to mention, most of the disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect are auxiliary spirit masters.
The structure of firearms is much simpler than that of concealed weapons and is very easy to manufacture.
The only drawback is that it can be easily imitated by others.
In this regard, Ning Fengzhi personally guaranteed that no disciple would be allowed to take firearms out of the sect, and that these weapons would be used as sharp weapons to guard the sect. As for Tang San's hidden weapons, they were popularized within the sect.
There is no such thing as copyright on Douluo Continent. Even if Tang San knew, he couldn't do anything to them.
…
At the same time, the army took over the defense of Tiandou City, and a massive operation was launched in the city to capture all the assassins.
And within the city guards, they are investigating the traitors from top to bottom.
On this day, after many days of traveling, Flanders and his group finally returned to Tiandou City.
When they arrived at the city gate and saw that the army had taken over the city defense, everyone felt nervous.
"Generals, what happened in the city?" Flanders asked with a smile.
The army is not the same as the city guards, not to mention that this army stationed in the city defense is the ace force of the Tiandou Empire.
The gatekeeper shouted, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about. If you want to enter the city, go and register."
Seeing that he couldn't get the desired result, Flanders went to register in disappointment.
However, troubles ensued.
The content of this registration is very detailed and requires the soul master to display his full strength.
Flanders is a high-level Soul Saint. If such a strong man enters the city and carries out an assassination, it will cause great casualties.
As expected, Flanders was stopped outside the city.
"Why won't you let me in? I have something urgent to do in the city." Flanders couldn't help but curse.
These soldiers are merciless and will not accept bribes. Unless you force your way into the city, you will not be able to enter.
The leading sergeant said: "Martial law is imposed in the city. Soul masters with Soul Saint strength or above are prohibited from entering or leaving Tiandou City without a special pass issued by the empire. Violators will be hunted down by the empire and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect!"
"We are from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, let us in." Yu Tianheng showed the token of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
The sergeant didn't even look at him and said directly: "You can go in, but he can't. However, there is a place to apply for passes in front, and we only accept passes!"
Flanders looked behind him and saw a temporary hut on the side of the official road. On the plaque was the words "Apply for a Pass".
"Tianxin, you guys go in first, I'll be there later." As he said that, Flanders walked towards the cabin.
In order to prevent any accidents, Yu Tianheng threw the token of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family disciple into the other party's hands.
…
At the entrance of Shrek Academy, Yu Tianheng and others stopped and stared at the scene in front of them in amazement.
They saw that the gate of the college was locked, with rotten and smelly fruits and vegetables hanging on the gate. Even where they were standing, the ground was littered with rotten vegetables.
"this"
"Look, there's a new notice there." Everyone looked in the direction of Dai Mubai's finger and saw a metal signboard.
Yu Tianheng said: "Shrek Academy has been sealed off, and this piece of land will be auctioned soon."
"Fuck you!" Dai Mubai, who had a bad temper, kicked the sign over.
"How dare they auction off Shrek Academy privately?"
Yu Tianheng sighed, "This is a decision made by the Tiandou royal family. They do have the ability to do so."
Things have come to this point, and there is no possibility of reversing. Since the royal family has put the land up for auction, it must have revoked Shrek Academy's right to run a school.
Yu Tianxin patted his shoulder, and they turned around together. "The family still has things to do, so we'll go back first. See you in five years."
Tai Long also submitted his resignation, "I have to go back too. The matter of the Third Young Master is too serious. I have to tell Grandpa as soon as possible."
After the three left, only Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were left.
At this moment, Ma Hongjun looked crazy and was standing there grinning foolishly.
In Dai Mubai's current state, he is unable to return to the Xing Luo Empire and can only choose to stay.
He sighed in his heart. Without Shrek Academy, he didn't know what to do.
When I pushed open the gate of the college, I saw that both sides of the road were already covered with fallen leaves because no one had cleaned them.
Dai Mubai shouted, "Teacher Zhao, are you there?"
After waiting for a while, no one responded to him.
At this time, Flanders finally got his pass and hurried over.
"What's going on with the academy, and where are the others?"
Dai Mubai had no idea about the situation in the academy, and he didn't know how to explain it.
Flanders said angrily: "Old Zhao and the others don't know how to clean up. Wait and see how I teach him a lesson later."
Dai Mubai whispered, "Dean, there was a notice board at the door just now."
After learning about the situation, Flanders finally understood why the academy was so quiet. At the same time, his dissatisfaction with Zhao Wuji increased a little.
"Are Lao Zhao and the others just going to watch the academy being auctioned off?"
In a rage, Flanders rushed into the academy.
Dai Mubai sighed and pulled Ma Hongjun into the academy.
…
After about an incense stick of time, Flanders did not find anyone in the academy. Even the apartment where Zhao Wuji and others lived had long been deserted.
Dai Mubai caught up and said, "Dean, is it possible that Teacher Zhao and the others were forcibly driven away by the law enforcement team of the Tiandou Empire?"
Even if they are driven away, they will definitely leave a message.
At present, Zhao Wuji and others have not shown up, and Flanders guessed that he left a letter in the dean's office.
Pushing open the door of the dean's office, the room was clean. In the middle of the desk, there was a letter.
When I opened the letter, it turned out to be a message from Zao Wou-Ki.
In the letter, he explained that he had used the academy's funds to compensate the parents of the students, and there were 32 gold soul coins left, which he placed in the drawer of his desk.
He also explained that the three of them decided to leave Shrek Academy and start over somewhere else. But the letter did not explain where the three of them were going.
Dai Mubai kicked the desk and said angrily, "Humph, it's obvious that Teacher Zhao ran away with the money. Dean, let's go after him!"
Flanders doesn't think so.
The matter of compensating the parents of the students would definitely cause a lot of trouble, and one could find out with a little inquiry. There was no need for Zhao Wuji to lie about this matter.
Moreover, even if he ran away with the money, why would he leave behind thirty-two gold soul coins? This obviously doesn't make sense.
Flanders sat back on his desk and sighed, "We are the ones who are sorry for them."
If you think about it carefully, these old brothers have been with him for so many years and have never had a good day.
He felt extremely guilty.
Perhaps, it was because these old brothers were so disappointed in him that they abandoned him.
Now that Shrek Academy is about to be auctioned off, where will they live in the future?
Can they stay in Tiandou City any longer?
"Mu Bai, pick up the sign. I want to take a closer look at it." He said weakly.
After staring at the sign for a long time, Flanders finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The notice stated that the land to be auctioned was the main body of Shrek Academy, and did not include the several small houses in the back mountain.
Come to think of it, no fool would buy a worthless mountain. This can be considered as leaving them with their last habitat.
"Mubai, start moving to the back mountain from tomorrow. As for you and Hongjun's condition, I will find a way to cure you."
In the next few days, the first people they waited for were not Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, but officials from the Tiandou Empire who came to deliver money.
After all, the land of Shrek Academy is private land. Even if it is forcibly auctioned, the money from purchasing the land will still be delivered to them.
This piece of land is not small. Even if they are not paid in full, they will get more than 8 million gold soul coins.
Flanders did not embezzle the money, but decided to wait for Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong to come back before discussing it.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
…
Inside the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
Ning Tianchen had just finished his training when he was approached by an outer disciple.
"Brother, there are two people outside the door looking for you, both claiming to be old acquaintances of yours."
Ning Tianchen hesitated for a moment and described Zhang Erhe's appearance.
The disciple affirmed: "The appearance of one of them is consistent with what Senior Brother described. However, from what I observed, they don't know each other."
Ning Tianchen thought about it and decided to go to the door to take a look.
Zhang Erhe came back at this time, and he must have discovered the location of the killing town. As for the other person, let's go and take a look first.
At the entrance of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
Zhang Erhe looked at the burly man next to him.
"You also know Mr. Ning?"
The sturdy man nodded, "Of course. I used to be his teacher."
Zhang Erhe suddenly realized and took the initiative to extend his hand, "Zhang Erhe."
The sturdy man shook his hand, "Zhao Wuji."
Zhang Erhe was surprised and asked, "Acalanatha?"
Zhao Wuji carefully looked at the man in front of him and said in astonishment, "Village massacre thugs?"
The two of them are like-minded and both did great things when they were young.
For a while, the two of them became able to talk about anything.
Of course, they were just talking about their respective experiences and did not discuss anything related to Ning Tianchen.
Not long after, Ning Tianchen arrived at the door under the guidance of his disciples.
"Brother, it's these two."
Ning Tianchen was surprised and asked, "Teacher Zhao, why are you here?"
He had a favorable impression of Zao Wou-Ki.
Compared to Flanders, Zao Wou-Ki is at least not so hypocritical.
Ning Tianchen knew about the Shrek Academy. And the land was bought by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Zhao Wuji came here at this time, probably to make a living.
After a simple greeting, Ning Tianchen took them to the outer gate reception.
"Teacher Zhao, I have something to discuss with Lao Zhang. Please wait for a moment."
Zhao Wuji waved his hands repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay, you guys talk first."
Enter the reception room.
Ning Tianchen asked: "Found it?"
Zhang Erhe pulled out a map and said, "There is not just one killing town on the mainland, but two. Of course, what I said is not entirely correct, there may be more."
Following what Ning Tianchen had told him, he came into contact with many Fallen on the mainland and learned from them the location of the Killing Town.
Zhang Erhe inquired about two different places. After his verification, he found that these two places were killing towns. Even the architectural styles in the towns were exactly the same.
"I am only exploring within the Tiandou Empire. If I go to the Xingluo Empire, I might be able to find out about other killing towns."
Ning Tianchen nodded.
There were two red circles drawn on the map that the other party took out, which was the location of the killing town.
There must be more than one entrance to the City of Slaughter. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many Fallen gathered in the City of Slaughter.
You know, most of the people hiding in the Killing City are criminals. If the entrance is too far away, they will probably be caught by the two empires before they arrive.
Zhang Erhe reminded him, "Mr. Ning, I don't know what you want to do in the Killing Town, but I have to remind you. There are desperadoes everywhere. When I found the second town, I was ambushed by a Soul Saint-level warrior and nearly died. If you go there alone, you will definitely get into big trouble."
Ning Tianchen tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingers. "Thank you for your hard work. I have my own plan for this matter."
"Yudie and Caidie have joined the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and are receiving the highest level of training from the sect. You can rest assured. If you want to see them later, I'll send someone to call them over."
Zhang Erhe said happily: "Great, great, the two of them didn't disappoint me. When I came back, I heard that your team won the championship of the Soul Master Competition?"
Ning Tianchen nodded.
Zhang Erhe's face was full of excitement, "So, my two daughters are both top talents in the continent."
After a pause, Ning Tianchen said, "For the time being, you don't need to run out anymore. Emperor Xue Ye has allocated the vacant land in the west of the city as my territory. When you have time, you can take people to build some houses there, and use them as your resting place in the future."
"We?" Zhang Erhe was puzzled. "Besides me, who else?"
Ning Tianchen said: "The sect master promised me to form a private team, and you will be the leader of this team. From now on, the expenses of your missions will be covered by the sect, and you will receive a salary every month."
"Of course, in a sense, you are also a member of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. As for when we can move from the dark to the light, it depends on your performance."
Zhang Erhe said seriously: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."
"By the way, I think your teacher Zhao is very strong. He should be more than ten years younger than me. With his talent, he will have a chance to break through to Soul Douluo in the future."
Ning Tianchen smiled and asked, "Then do you want to work with him?"
Zhang Erhe replied: "That's a good relationship. He and I really met too late."
Ning Tianchen waved his hand, "I can't guarantee that. It depends on what he wants to see me about. Lao Zhang, you have to pay attention to the team's affairs. You are the only one right now, so let's recruit 20 people for the first batch."
"My requirements are very simple. These people don't need to be very strong. They just need to be able to gather intelligence and be loyal to me. As for the rest, you can handle it yourself."
Zhang Erhe pointed outside the door and said, "Then I'll go get busy first?"
Ning Tianchen: "Wait outside first."
He also didn't know the purpose of Zhao Wuji's coming here. In case the other party was willing to work for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he could be arranged into Zhang Erhe's team.
Zhang Erhe left the room and casually called Zhao Wuji in.
Ning Tianchen stood up to greet him, "Teacher Zhao, why are you here?"
After sitting down, Zhao Wuji said awkwardly: "You should know the situation of Shrek Academy. I want to ask, what happened in it? How did it become like this?"
Ning Tianchen smiled faintly and explained: "Tang San is Tang Hao's son, and the Spirit Hall has a grudge against Tang Hao. The most important thing is that Xiao Wu is a transformed soul beast for 100,000 years."
Zhao Wuji finally understood why the charge that the Spirit Hall had framed them for included harboring soul beasts.
So, the soul beast was right under his nose.
After a pause, he continued, "Teacher Zhao, what are your plans for the future? Do you still want to continue to be a teacher?"
Zhao Wuji smiled bitterly, "For someone like me, who had a bad reputation when I was young and had worked at Shrek Academy, no academy would dare to accept me."
As he spoke, his face looked a little embarrassed. "Tianchen, do you think someone like me can join the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? Don't worry, I just want to make a living. I will definitely complete the tasks assigned to me by the sect on time."
It is true.
Ning Tianchen smiled in his heart.
He pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Is that so? The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will not recruit people with bad reputations. Your situation is really difficult to deal with."
Zhao Wuji's eyes dimmed.
Before coming to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he had also looked for other jobs.
I heard that he was the queen of Acalanatha, so no one would dare to hire him for a job.
Being rejected by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he could only...
Changing the subject, Ning Tianchen smiled and said, "However, you still have a chance. For you, it can be considered a roundabout way to save the country. Would you like to listen?"
