Other than going back last winter vacation, he hadn’t seen the two elders for more than half a year. It would be a lie if he said he didn’t miss them.
The next moment, three Zhou Mingrui’s appeared before of the three of them. It happened so abruptly that they did not even see how it happened.
“Wow, this is amazing!” Zhao Anqi couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. The Zhou Mingrui in front of her almost looked as if he had a real tangible body.
Yan Wuyue’s eyes also twinkled. She understood that this ability would be very useful in a battle, as it could create opportunities for many kinds of tactical combinations.
“Why can’t I do this?” Xiao Shengyun asked with a frown.
“First, although you can copy other people’s skills, you are not familiar with the principle of the skill itself,” Zhou Mingrui commented indifferently.
“The principle?” Xiao Shengyun looked thoughtful.
Zhou Mingrui continued, “It’s like forging a blade. You’ve only learned how to forge the same blade after watching the ironsmith do it, but ironsmith knows the principle behind the forging of any blade. He can use this principle to create another blade, or even improve it to forge an even better blade.”
“To sum it up, you know how it is formed, but you don’t know why it is formed. This is the difference between us.”
“You only know the effects of the Phantom Prison, but you didn’t know that the energy in the Phantom Prison is also phantom energy, which is a power that you could have made use of.”
With a whoosh, the three Zhou Mingrui’s suddenly brandished their fists and attacked. The powerful stance made everyone except Yan Wuyue dodge subconsciously.
However, the fist turned into a semi-shadow halfway through the swing, and felt just like a cloud of mist blowing past. Nothing touched them at all.
“But at that time, you could clearly turn illusions into reality and directly shatter my bone armor.” Xiao Shengyun quickly followed up with another question.
“Like this?”
Zhou Mingrui appeared in front of Xiao Shengyun again. Just like before, he threw a punch at him.
The intense attack still prompted Xiao Shengyun to make a subconscious reaction. However, he suppressed his intuitive reactions and stared at Zhou Mingrui’s shadow.
In the split of a second, Xiao Shengyun felt a change in the shadow. It was no longer a shadow, but Zhou Mingrui’s actual body!
“Strictly speaking, this is just an elaborate smokescreen.”
The fist stopped in front of Xiao Shengyun. Zhou Mingrui retracted his hand and continued to explain, “While you concluded that my shadow was actually a shadow, my real body had already switched places with the shadow using the power of the Phantom Prison.”
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Zhou Mingrui’s original position on the sofa. Sitting there, his figure was swaying slightly. Indeed, it was only a shadow on the sofa.
The real Zhou Mingrui leaned forward to flick Xiao Shengyun on his forehead.
However, when his finger was about to touch his forehead, it turned into a shadow again.
Although Wu Mo had only transmigrated to this world for a month, he had personally experienced the two elders’ concern and longing for him!
“What are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed?”
Jiang Mengyao, who was sitting across from him, immediately asked curiously.
“Oh… nothing. I’m just thinking about going back to my hometown in a few days.”
Jiang Mengyao nodded and said with a smile, “Indeed. It’s not easy to graduate. It’s time to go back.”
Wu Mo nodded and the two of them stopped talking. They lowered their heads and ate the wontons that brought warmth to others.
Ten minutes later, Wu Mo left the money and left the wonton store with Jiang Mengyao.
Initially, Wu Mo planned to go to Treasure Pavilion alone. However, Jiang Mengyao said that she had some free time in the morning and insisted on going together for a walk.
Wu Mo had no choice but to bring her along.
As they walked on the road, the warm wind blew against their faces.
Seeing the carriages carrying goods passing by one after another, Wu Mo’s mood was not calm at the moment.
…
Changxi Street, Treasure Pavilion.
Treasure Pavilion was having a very busy day.
When it opened at seven o’clock in the morning, there was an endless stream of people coming to place custom orders and buy materials.
Gao Yue was shocked by this grand occasion. He only found out after listening to a customer.
It turned out that it was because of Wu Mo’s celebrity effect.
The news of Wu Mo helping Treasure Pavilion win the competition and the backhand annexation of Unique Treasure Hall was searched out by the masses again.
It allowed Treasure Pavilion to enjoy being a hot search as well.
If the masters who had forged the Divine artifacts were the special consultants of Treasure Pavilion, then how awesome would Treasure Pavilion be.
There were many people who had such thoughts, and their warehouse almost sold out.
After sending off a batch of customers, Yu Qing wiped the sweat off her forehead, feeling that she could no longer keep up.
“It’s been hard on you. You can be the reception manager next month!” Gao Yue walked out of the shop and said with a smile.
Yu Qing’s petite mouth was slightly open. She was a little surprised.
She was about to say something when she saw Wu Mo walking over with a girl.
“Manager, Mr. Wu is here…”
“Sigh… it’s useless even if Mr. Wu is here. The position of manager is still yours. Oh, he’s really here.”
Manager Gao subconsciously thought that Yu Qing was being modest, but when he subconsciously turned around, he saw Wu Mo. .
He immediately went forward to welcome him, smiling so much that his eyes almost disappeared.
“Mr. Wu, why are you here! Congratulations, congratulations. The whole city knows about you being the best student of the Divine Arms Academy. Thanks to your celebrity effect, our one-hour turnover has already exceeded the whole day.”
Gao Yue immediately cupped his hands to congratulate Wu Mo. Seeing that Wu Mo’s expression did not change at all, he was stunned for a moment, then added on.
“The tenth elder just went to restock the goods. He will only be back in ten minutes.”
“It’s alright. I’m here to take the materials that I previously saved with me.”
Wu Mo patted Gao Yue’s shoulder and said jokingly, “Why are you acting like a lackey now? I still like the arrogant and unruly you from before!”
Gao Yue scratched his head and looked embarrassed. “I’ll try my best to adjust.”
Yu Qing immediately covered her mouth and laughed when she saw this.
The four of them returned to Treasure Pavilion’s hall, then immediately went to the second floor and went to the warehouse where the materials were stored.
As the heavy warehouse door was opened, Wu Mo found that the large pile of materials in the warehouse had disappeared. Only the big boxes in the upper right corner were still full of rare materials.
“Thanks.”
Wu Mo nodded and walked in quickly. Then, he immediately activated the equipment effect of the interspatial ring.
The next moment, a white light flashed.
All the materials in the four big boxes were put in.
He walked out of the warehouse and prepared to leave after saying a few words. However, manager Gao Yue who was beside him spoke first.
“Mr. Wu, let’s go and have a cup of tea. The tenth elder said that he would be back soon. He specifically told me to ask you to wait for a moment.”
Wu Mo raised his eyebrows but did not say anything. He went to the VIP room with Jiang Mengyao.
They lit incense and poured tea. The few of them chatted about the past. Jiang Mengyao did not expect Wu Mo’s strength to be revealed so early on. She was a little surprised.
“Mr. Wu, you’ve graduated now. Do you have any plans for the future?”
Gao Yue stood up and poured tea for Wu Mo. at the same time, he asked curiously.
Wu Mo looked at the lush green flowers in the courtyard outside the window. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Yesterday, Mr. Zhou from the Research Department gave me an offer letter, hoping that I would go to the capital. I agreed, so I should be leaving in the next two days.”
When Gao Yue heard this, his face was full of surprise. At the same time, he looked at Wu Mo with even more reverence.
As he had expected, in just half a month’s time, Wu Mo had broken through the shackles of Shanglin City and become the person he looked up to.
Thinking back to the first time he saw Wu Mo, his slightly thin face and the sharp gaze hidden within, Gao Yue felt that time had passed very quickly.
“Jingdou is good. That’s a base city. Its development prospects are much better than Shanglin City.”
Yu Qing, who was standing behind the sofa, immediately nodded in agreement.
The few of them did not chat for long. They only heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from downstairs. It was clear that the tenth elder had arrived.
Wu Mo and Jiang Mengyao stood up. At this moment, the spirited tenth elder knocked on the door and walked in. When he saw Wu Mo, he immediately revealed a radiant smile.
“Mr. Wu, you’re visiting Treasure Pavilion, but I didn’t welcome you from afar. I’m really sorry!”
The skinny tenth elder cupped his fists and apologized. Wu Mo waved his hand, not caring about these things at all.
“I heard from Gao Yue and the others that you have something to discuss with me. I don’t know what you want to discuss.”
Wu Mo went straight to the point and asked what he was suspicious about.
“It’s true. Mr. Wu, please have a seat.”
The tenth elder nodded and everyone took their seats again.
“Do you still remember how you asked me to sell the interspatial ring and the Mercury Cloak in the pavilion last week?”
As he said that, the tenth elder sent someone to his bedroom to take out a box and put it on the table.
“This week, the pavilion has sold a total of four mercury cloaks and seven interspatial rings. We’ve earned a total of ¥15,000,000. Excluding the cost of materials and according to the ratio we agreed on before, Treasure Pavilion will have to pay you ¥9,000,000.
“Also, the owner of the Guangli Trading Company, Jia Wei, who signed the contract with you, has already sold two batches of Interspatial Rings. Since he couldn’t contact you, he transferred the shares of the sales into his card last night. A total of ¥33,000,000. Please take a look.”
As he spoke, the tenth elder opened the password box. There were three checks for ¥10,000,000 and three checks for ¥1,000,000. A total of six checks were saved.
Looking at the large check in front of her, Jiang Mengyao, who was sitting at the side, felt that it wasn’t real. When did Wu Mo sign the contract? He actually earned so much money!
It seemed that Wu Mo still had many secrets that she did not know!
Mengyao’s thoughts stirred slightly, while Wu Mo remainedcalm.
