Chapter 593, Chapter 77: Does the Aodu Chamber of Commerce make money from these things?

Two hours later, Ye Nanxiao's mental connection reached its limit, and he had no choice but to sever the connection with his clone.

Xiao Ye No. 3's consciousness has been reactivated.

"My main body has consumed half of my stored power, so the plan has to be changed." Xiao Ye No. 3 touched his forehead, where the pattern of the Frozen Flower had become dim and lifeless, as if it would disappear at any moment.

"I'll send a message to the boss later, but he might not be available to come right now," Feng Shiyi said, rubbing her left hand, which had been slapped red.

Xiao Ye No. 3 frowned, glanced around, then looked at Shadow Tiger and Shadow Pig beside him, and Dark Four and Dark Five in the distance. He used his soul power to transmit his voice to Feng Shiyi and asked, "What's the situation now?"

Feng Shiyi glanced at him curiously, then asked telepathically, "You have no memories?"

Xiao Ye No. 3 shook his head slightly and replied, "I am an avatar, a product of the main body's soul skill. My consciousness is projected through the main body, so the main body's consciousness is naturally above mine. When the main body's consciousness descended just now, my consciousness was suppressed."

Feng Shiyi nodded and quickly explained the current situation and the cause of the incident to Xiao Ye No. 3.

"This is getting a bit troublesome. We'll have to get those powerful families to stir things up." Little Ye No. 3 frowned. His personality was different from Ye Nanxiao's; he was far less optimistic and calm.

"Leave these two here. Eleven, make sure to conceal your presence and disguise yourself. Take these two Twelve Nights with you, I'll go find Xiao Li first." Xiao Ye No. 3 turned and walked towards the fire escape in the corner of the floor.

Shadow Tiger and Shadow Pig watched as Xiao Ye No. 3 turned and left. They both sensed some changes in Xiao Ye No. 3, but they did not show their doubts.

"Alright, you two, I know the boss is handsome, but he's very shy, so don't stare." Feng Shiyi patted Yingzhu's head.

After enduring two hours of sightseeing, Dark Four finally saw the end of the journey.

After observing the last floor of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, he couldn't wait any longer and jumped straight off the top floor, transforming into a shooting star and flying away with his flying soul tool.

Anwu, however, was in no hurry and followed the tour guide arranged by Li Yuanren back to the ground via the elevator.

Touching the dozen or so storage rings in his pocket, An Wu grinned from ear to ear and said to the guide leading him, "Your merchant guild is doing a great job. You know how to handle things. When we get back, I'll definitely put in a good word for you with His Majesty!"

"Not at all, not at all. I was afraid that I would not be able to entertain you well and make you have an unpleasant experience! A talent like you is simply His Majesty's right-hand man and a pillar of the country! You are much more capable than those ministers in the court who only know how to hold a board and talk nonsense!" The tour guide said with a smile, and skillfully handed a few more storage rings to An Wu.

"Sir, these are all the goods that were just packed and sorted; you forgot to take them."

When An Wu noticed that these storage rings, which had no markings whatsoever, were different from the standard storage rings he had just received from Li Yuanren, he immediately understood.

This person is smart enough; no wonder he's a senior executive at the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

Anwu slapped his forehead and cursed, "Yeah, look at my memory!"

After accepting the storage ring, An Wu glanced around, nodded to the guide, and then quickly disappeared from the spot.

When Dark Five returned to the Sun and Moon Palace, Dark Four was already waiting at the entrance of the Great Sun Hall.

"Why are you so slow?" An Si asked, dissatisfied.

Anwu chuckled and said, "Fourth brother, a man should take it slow! That's a saying that circulates in the Aodu Chamber of Commerce!"

An Si suppressed the urge to hit someone and turned to walk into the Great Sun Hall.

"Dark Four/Dark Five request an audience with His Majesty!"

The two knelt on one knee in front of the Great Sun Hall.

A quarter of an hour later, a eunuch ran out and announced, "His Majesty requests an audience."

Xu Tianran put the memorial in his hand aside, leaned back in his chair, and asked, "How's the investigation going?"

"Your Majesty, the soul tool research of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce differs significantly from that of the Mingde Hall. The Aodu Chamber of Commerce's soul tool research leans more towards the development of defensive soul tools, while most of the offensive soul tools, apart from the common types, are acquired from outside sources through purchase. Furthermore, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce has a cooperative relationship with the Mingde Hall and regularly purchases soul tools from the Mingde Hall."

"The level nine soul masters recruited by the Aodu Chamber of Commerce are all conducting their own research using the research resources provided by the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, and they do not have a fixed research direction. I have discovered that the Aodu Chamber of Commerce is mass-producing soul tools for civilian use, including loading arms, cargo sliding boards, and soul tools for spaceships."

An Si recounted everything he had seen and heard.

After hearing this, Xu Tianran was not surprised, because Ju Zi had explained this situation when she handed over the information about the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

"Spaceship? I remember Jing Hongchen was also researching this." Xu Tianran tilted his head slightly, recalling that there was such a research project in Mingde Hall.

Jing Hongchen seemed to have mentioned to me that he wanted to research and create a large flying soul tool to carry a large number of people, so as to achieve the goal of a Super Douluo carrying multiple people.

"Dark Four, how far have you progressed in researching the Aodu Chamber of Commerce's spaceship?" Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes. As an ambitious emperor, he instantly understood the strategic significance of the spaceship.

If it can carry ordinary people into the sky, then it can also carry soul masters into the sky!

"Your Majesty, the Audu Chamber of Commerce has only put forward a concept and has not started production. They haven't even drawn up any research drawings. Most of the ninth-level soul masters have different opinions, and there are serious differences in the level and style of soul tools," An Si replied truthfully.

Most of the Soul Masters within the Aodu Chamber of Commerce are independent cultivators, their styles are inconsistent, and they are divided into many small groups.

Xu Tianran nodded slightly. The external soul masters recruited by the Aodu Chamber of Commerce do not worship any sect or power. Either no sect looks up to them, or they are so powerful that they are arrogant and look down on others.

However, he didn't think that many of the Soul Masters who frequented underground casinos could produce top-tier figures.

Xu Tianran nodded slightly to An Si, signaling the latter to continue.

An Si quickly recounted everything he had seen and heard in all the laboratories of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

Only An Si's voice could be heard inside the Great Sun Hall. The eunuch was very perceptive and had already dismissed all the maids around him.

An Si spoke for a full quarter of an hour before he could barely recount what he had memorized.

God knows how he filtered out those friendly, Austrian-style greetings from his memory.

"Soul-guided armor, soul-guided shield, linked protective shield—why are they all just life-saving gadgets?" Xu Tianran gently tapped the golden armrest of the dragon throne with his left hand.

Dark Four listed over three hundred types of soul tools, but only a few dozen of them were lethal; the rest were mostly related to defense and survival equipment.

"Perhaps, those people from the aristocratic families haven't felt very safe lately?" Anwu answered Xu Tianran's question.

"Well, after all, I've already crushed their courage." Xu Tianran sneered as he mentioned the aristocratic families, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

He is the current Emperor of the Sun and Moon!

The entire Sun and Moon Empire was in his hands.

Aristocratic families dare to carve up the royal family's interests right in front of him? They're practically asking for trouble!

Even though he, the Sun and Moon Emperor, has only recently ascended the throne, the emperor's majesty is not something that ants like them can offend!

After a brief moment of triumph, Xu Tianran realized a new problem.

Even if the Aodu Chamber of Commerce has extensive connections and a fast production speed for soul tools, if you really need a soul tool that can save your life, shouldn't you go to Mingde Hall?

Although he secretly intervened in the reconstruction of Mingde Hall and planted many spies, Jing Hongchen has not yet taken control of Mingde Hall. Why are there not many noble families going to Mingde Hall?

Isn't that old fellow Jing Hongchen on pretty good terms with the aristocratic families?

"Have you found out why the Aodu Chamber of Commerce is able to maintain contact with so many aristocratic families?" Xu Tianran asked, his brows furrowing slightly.

Even though the soul tools manufactured by the Aodu Chamber of Commerce are of good quality, they are still far inferior to those of Mingde Hall. Moreover, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce has been chasing after Mingde Hall and researching what Mingde Hall has left behind.

The latest novel is first published here!

Dark Four turned to look at Dark Five, for he simply couldn't explain this matter given his limited language skills.

Anwu took two steps forward, kneeling on one knee, and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why the Aodu Merchant Guild has such close ties with so many noble families is mainly because these families offer so many benefits!"

"Hmm?" Xu Tianran sat up slightly, a faint killing intent rising from his body.

Offering numerous benefits, are these powerful families still harboring ulterior motives and trying to win over the Aodu Chamber of Commerce?

What Anwu said next made Xu Tianran feel that his intelligence had been insulted.

"Your Majesty, the young noble families who have close ties with the Aodu Chamber of Commerce are mostly young men. They have many novel ideas about matters of love and sex, and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce manufactures corresponding products based on their ideas. These products are known as custom-made goods and sell out immediately. Not only are the young generation of noble families enthusiastic, but the older generation of noble families are also captivated!" Anwu answered truthfully.

Xu Tianran: "?"

Is the Aodu Chamber of Commerce making money off this stuff now?

"Anwu, do you know what crime it is to deceive the emperor?" Xu Tianran slammed his hand on the table, his face displeased.

As Xu Tianran finished speaking, a powerful soul force immediately locked onto the Great Sun Palace.

"Your Majesty, everything An Wu said is true! I even brought back evidence!" An Wu immediately knelt on the ground, pressing his head tightly against it.

"Bring it here." Xu Tianran leaned back in his chair again.

An Wu hurriedly took out all the marked storage rings from his pocket, activated his soul power, and emptied out everything inside.

The floor of the Great Sun Hall was suddenly covered by strange and unusual things, and a strange fragrance wafted out.

Xu Tianran immediately unleashed his soul power, covering his body.

"Your Majesty, these appear to be substances of pleasure and are not poisonous."

When Xue Chen's voice reached Xu Tianran's ears, his tense body relaxed slightly.

Xu Tianran immediately frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

Is the Aodu Chamber of Commerce making money off this stuff now?

So superficial?

However, Dark Four was unprepared for Dark Five and inhaled a lot of the strange fragrance, which made him feel his blood boiling. A thought suddenly popped into his head.

Fortunately, these products only contain a few additives, serving only to enhance the experience.

An Si glared fiercely at An Wu, took a deep breath, and used his soul power to suppress his impulse.

Xu Tianran glanced coldly at An Wu. These things had no effect on him, but they reminded him of some unpleasant memories.

His gaze then shifted to another item that Anwu had brought back: four-cornered trousers specifically for muscular men.

Anwu noticed that Xu Tianran's gaze had shifted to the four muscular men he had specially brought back, and a sense of smugness immediately welled up in his heart.

"It took me a lot of persuasion to bring this back. How will His Majesty reward me?"

An Si keenly sensed the sudden drop in temperature in the main hall. He secretly glanced at Xu Tianran, then followed Xu Tianran's gaze to the muscular four-cornered figure among the pile of things. His heart skipped a beat.

"Throw him out and behead him."

Xu Tianran was filled with murderous intent and immediately wanted to order An Wu's execution. However, he then remembered that he had sent out a large number of people and was short-handed. He also needed to make some arrangements during this period, so he changed his mind.

"Throw him into the water dungeon and let him take a bath!"

"Huh?"

Dark Five was instantly suppressed by Dark Four, and the flow of soul power within his body was sealed off before he was dragged away.
