Chapter 9 009 The first apartment, living together with Xiaowu!
After the opening ceremony, the classes began to be divided.
As expected, Xia Jie, Xiao Wu and Tang San are all first-year students in the academy and are in the same class.
Notting College is a junior soul master college, divided into six grades, with one class in each grade.
There are more than 60 students in a class, and there are more than 300 students in the whole school.
Xia Jie and Xiao Wu naturally became deskmates.
After the classes were divided, the teacher announced the dismissal and classes would resume early tomorrow morning.
"Xiao Wu, I'm going out for a while. You can eat dinner by yourself." After Xia Jie finished speaking, he hurriedly left the classroom and soon disappeared.
Xiao Wu chased out the door and shouted, "Xiao Jie, how dare you leave me and go out to play by yourself."
"Huh, I'm ignoring you."
...
A quarter of an hour later, Xia Jie, wearing a black robe and a mask, disguised himself as a man of 1.8 meters in height, came to the Soul Master Trading Market in Notting City.
The Soul Master Trading Market is where soul masters trade, sell soul beasts, rare metals, and medicinal herbs.
"We are buying food-grade soul beasts at a high price."
Xia Jie walked forward and asked in a hoarse voice under his mask: "Are you buying soul beast ingredients?"
The merchant nodded and said, "Yes, sir, do you want to sell soul beasts?"
Xia Jie rubbed the white jade ring, took out the iron hair pig, and asked, "How much do you estimate these two iron hair pigs are worth?"
The vendor's eyes lit up, and he said respectfully, "It's actually a storage soul guide. It seems that your soul master level must be quite high."
The vendor continued, "Except for the broken heads of these two iron-haired pigs, the rest of the pigs are basically intact, and they are up to seventy years old."
"I estimate the price for each head to be six gold soul coins. How about that?"
Hearing this, Xia Jie nodded slightly: "Yes."
According to his understanding, learned from the school cafeteria, the estimated value of this year's Iron Hair Pig is exactly five gold soul coins, or six gold soul coins.
The vendor's offer was reasonable.
Xia Jie waved his hand, and in the 100 cubic meters of space, soul beasts of several decades, hundreds of years, and even hundreds of years flew out one by one.
Except for the thirty thousand year old Thousand Jun Ant, Xia Jie took out all the soul beast ingredients.
A small place like Notting City probably can’t eat a ten thousand year old soul beast, so it’s better to keep it and sell it for a good price later.
The merchant was stunned and said in shock: "Five hundred year soul beasts, eight hundred year soul beasts... and there are even thousand year soul beasts."
"Is this, is this a three thousand year old Mandragora snake?"
In just a moment, the whole block was in an uproar, with crowds of people watching and marveling at the scene.
"Who is this lord?"
"When did a high-level soul master who could hunt down a thousand-year soul beast alone appear in Notting City?"
"In the Soul Hunting Forest northeast of Notting City, thousand-year soul beasts are rare."
"..."
Xia Jie said calmly: "Shopkeeper, please give me an estimate."
"As long as the price is reasonable, we will sell these to you."
The vendor quickly took up his abacus and began to estimate the price.
After calculating for a moment, the vendor said respectfully: "Hello, the total is 1119 gold soul coins."
"How about I round it up to 1120 gold soul coins?"
Xia Jie's hoarse voice came from the mask, and he nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
The vendor immediately took out a thousand gold soul coins and a small bag of gold soul coins, which made a jingling sound when shaken. The sound of the gold coins rubbing against each other was wonderful.
"Happy cooperation!"
After weighing it twice, Xia Jie put it into the white jade ring and turned to leave.
After leaving the Soul Master Trading Market, Xia Jie walked around again to get to know this small city better, and found an agent to buy a house.
The house is neither big nor small, with two entrances and two exits, and is over 600 square meters. It has a main house, side rooms, courtyard, backyard, side yard, rockery, garden, kitchen, toilet... everything you need.
Xia Jie chose to buy it outright and got the title deed, spending five hundred gold soul coins at once.
...
Xia Jie walked around the yard, clapped his hands in satisfaction and said, "I got my first house in Douluo Continent."
"Now, it's time to coax the little rabbit."
When Xia Jie returned to Notting College, it was already evening.
On the south playground, Xiao Wu was lying on a dripping fountain with a carrot in her right hand and a banana in her left hand. She was directing Wang Sheng and two other classmates to clean up.
Xiao Wu said carelessly: "Wang Sheng, that place hasn't been cleaned up yet."
"You all should be careful and do your job well." "Tomorrow at noon, I will let Xiaojie invite you to the second floor of the cafeteria to order food and have a feast."
...
Xia Jie walked over leisurely, approached Xiao Wu, and said with a smile: "Haha, it seems that you are quite relaxed as a big sister."
Xiao Wu was startled and jumped several feet. She said with a wronged look on her face: "Xiao Jie, you are going to scare me to death."
"You walk without making any sound?"
Without waiting for Xia Jie to speak, Xiao Wu chattered on, "Asshole, you ran out to play by yourself, and Tang San was called away by the master, leaving the playground sanitation to me, a little girl, to clean."
"Xiao Jie, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Wang Sheng scratched his head and asked, "Uh, Sister Xiaowu, it's obviously us who are cleaning."
"What about your conscience?"
"That's right, Sister Xiaowu, where is your conscience?"
"..."
Xia Jie rubbed the white jade ring and took out a bunch of barbecued meat and a lot of fresh fruits. Xiao Wu's eyes widened and her pair of rabbit ears stood up.
The white jade ring is no less valuable than Dugu Bo's Ruyi Treasure Bag. Food, fruits and jerky placed in it can remain fresh for a long time, and it will be the same when you put it in.
The skewers are still hot and exude a rich meaty aroma.
Xia Jie handed the barbecue, fruits, and fruit wine to Wang Sheng and the other two, and said, "Okay, the cleaning is almost done, this midnight snack is on me."
"Take it back and share it with everyone."
Wang Sheng and the other two were delighted: "Thank you, Boss Xia Jie."
"Bye, Boss Xia Jie, Sister Xiao Wu."
"..."
Xiao Wu waved her hand and said, "Hey, hey, my barbecue, my barbecue!"
Xia Jie waved his hand, took out a sausage and stuffed it into Xiao Wu's mouth.
"Woo, woo, delicious, delicious." Xiao Wu was eating the grilled sausage. After tasting the food, the greedy rabbit's ears stood up and his eyes lit up. He was so cute.
Xiao Wu muttered, "For the sake of your sausage, I forgive you."
"Come on, Xiao Wu, let's go somewhere?" Xia Jie took Xiao Wu's hand, which was as soft as jade and as gentle as boneless.
Xiao Wu was dragged along, her eyes confused as she asked, "Where are we going?"
...
Ten minutes later, Xia Jie pushed open the gate and invited, "Dangdangdang, Xiaowu, take a look, what do you think of this house?"
Xiao Wu put her hands behind her back and asked curiously, "Will you take me to see the house?"
"Do you want to rent a house and move out of the dormitory?"
"But according to the college's requirements for work-study students, we can't move out of the school dormitory."
Xiao Wu poked the corner of her mouth with her fingertips and asked doubtfully: "Besides, are we running out of money?"
Xia Jie smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, look, what is this?"
Wow!
Hundreds of gold soul coins flew out and piled up into a small pile, emitting a golden glow. They gradually shone in the moonlight, illuminating Xiao Wu's eyes and pretty face.
"Wow, that's a lot of gold soul coins!"
"Xiao Jie, how do you have so much money?"
Xia Jie took out the house deed and said, "Xiao Wu, look, this is the house deed."
"I have already bought this yard."
"Tomorrow morning, we will go to the school's finance office to pay our tuition fees, and we will no longer be work-study students."
"This way, we can move out of the dormitory and live here."
"Also, we no longer have to clean the playground every day."
The playground on the south side of the school is not small. It takes two people half an hour or an hour to clean it. Now it is approaching autumn, and there are more and more fallen leaves. It is impossible to finish sweeping them even if we sweep them every day.
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she laughed, "Okay, it's settled."
"We go to Nottingham College during the day, and after class in the afternoon we wander around Nottingham, eat all kinds of delicious food, and visit all the fun places."
"Hehe, Xiaojie, it's great to have you."
Xia Jie flicked Xiao Wu's brow and said, "I've told you so many times, don't call me Xiao Jie, call me Brother Jie."
Xiao Wu said seriously: "Okay, if you beat me, I will call you Brother Jie."
Xia Jie raised his eyebrows and asked, "Xiao Wu, are you challenging me?"
Xiao Wu raised her head and said, "Yes, do you dare?"
