Chapter 1417 Shopping with Nine Egrets? (14)
Along the way, Mu Fusheng was helpless.
Fortunately, Jiu Bailu disguised herself as a man. Although she was very handsome, at least Mu Fusheng didn't feel too much pressure to walk with her.
Originally, Mu Fusheng heard that Jiu Bailu was going to take him to learn about the other three college forces participating in the quota competition.
Mu Fusheng thought that Jiu Bailu, as the princess of the Nine Dragons Dynasty, must be more familiar with the way than himself, so he agreed.
As a result, it has been an hour or two, and Jiu Bailu has been dragging Mu Fusheng around in front of various stalls like a curious baby.
"Have you finished shopping? Is it time to do business?" After leaving a stall, Mu Fusheng looked at Jiu Bailu and sighed and asked.
Jiu Bailu frowned slightly and said unhappily: "Look around carefully."
Hearing this, Mu Fusheng was stunned and looked to the side. There were fewer stalls here.
But instead, there was a huge Chamber of Commerce standing here.
Jiu Bailu explained: "This is the shop set up by the Mohist School, and one of the four college forces participating in the quota competition is the Mohist School of Mechanical Engineering."
Mu Fusheng looked at the wooden house, which was covered with fine protrusions everywhere, with crossbows and shell holes, and looked like a war fortress.
"Go in?" Jiu Bailu asked.
Mu Fusheng nodded and walked towards it.
At that time, he might meet people from the Mohist School who use puppets. In this case, he must first understand how puppets attack, how to control, and how high their tolerance limits are.
This aspect is a relatively unfamiliar field for Mu Fusheng and others.
Jiu Bailu chuckled and followed him in.
There were not many people in the house.
Puppets were placed one after another around.
People who bought puppets were either puppeteers, or they were preparing to go out alone to train and needed pathfinders, or they were placed in the sect as an alternative plan for emergency situations.
The reason was simple, the price was too high.
Therefore, in general, practitioners prefer to buy elixirs, formation scrolls and weapons to improve themselves.
Looking closer, Mu Fusheng was amazed at the finely crafted puppets.
"There are so many details in the structure, just like the meridians and internal organs of the human body."
Jiu Bailu said: "The puppets released outside are only average. The puppets used by the Mo family are a hundred times more delicate than this."
Mu Fusheng nodded and was about to touch the puppet with his hand.
A loud shout came from the side, "Don't touch it!"
Mu Fusheng withdrew his hand and turned his head with Jiu Bailu to look at a cold man behind him.
The man's eyebrows were raised, as if there was a volcano about to erupt in his expression. "The rules for selling puppets are that if you don't buy them, you are forbidden to touch them. Don't you know that?"
Mu Fusheng shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Jiu Bailu explained on the side, "Before, a casual puppeteer came to the Mo family's shop. After touching the puppet, he learned its internal structure, and then perfectly reproduced it and sold it to major sects at a lower price, which seriously infringed the interests of the Mo family. That's why this rule was made."
Mu Fusheng suddenly realized.
No wonder he reacted so much after touching it, like a frightened bird.
"But if you buy it and disassemble it, can you also know the internal structure and then reproduce it?"
The man sneered after hearing this: "Now if you disassemble it or sense the core structure of it, the puppet will be automatically scrapped. Not allowing you to touch it is just to prevent a puppet from being scrapped."
"What's more, a person from the Hunling Academy, a disguiser, you are not welcome here, get out."
The participating academies in the quota competition naturally have their own intelligence networks.
It was not difficult to know that Mu Fusheng was a contestant of Hunling Academy.
Mu Fusheng was not surprised by this.
Jiu Bailu's disguise was not so good that it was not obvious, so it was normal to be seen through.
At this time, a man who looked elegant and easy-going and dressed in dark green robes walked down the wooden ladder leading to the second floor.
The man smiled like spring breeze and said, "Sorry, people who are disguised are not allowed to enter the Mo family's shop."
As for Hunling Academy.
He did not think that the information obtained by the other party here would play a big role.
The Mo family was arrogant and had absolute confidence in their own strength.
Seeing this, the angry man bowed his hands and said respectfully, "Lord Mo Xing."
He was just a shop manager, and he naturally had to be extremely respectful to his family members.
Jiu Bailu glanced at Mu Fusheng's eyes, which were still scanning the puppets, and smiled and waved his palm across his face, and a beautiful face appeared in front of everyone.
Mo Xing was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "It turns out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Jiu Bailu nodded slightly to Mo Xing, "It seems that you are also a participant of the Mechanical Academy this time?"
Mo Xing nodded and said, "Yes, I have admired Her Royal Highness the Princess for a long time. I wonder if I have the honor to invite Her Royal Highness to participate in tomorrow's auction?"
After that, he took out a token.
This token is different from others. There is a little golden light on it.
It represents the most distinguished guest of this auction.
Whether it is the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty or the Hunling Academy, only the dean-level figures can get this token.
Jiu Bailu declined and said, "I will participate with him."
Mu Fusheng was pulled back to his senses and was stunned for a moment, "Ah... um."
Hearing this, the angry-faced man next to Mo Xing was stunned, but Mo Xing smiled and said, "That's a pity, but I still hope to have the opportunity to travel with the princess."
Jiu Bailu did not respond.
Mu Fusheng also said at this time: "Let's go."
"Done?"
"Almost."
So, the two left the Mo family shop.
Looking at the backs of the two, the angry-faced man looked at Mo Xing and said, "Sir, do you like Jiu Bailu?"
Mo Xing smiled lightly: "How many people don't like him?"
"Then why not be more aggressive?"
Mo Xing smiled when he heard this, "This is exactly what makes her special. She has talent and a unique appearance and temperament. If such a person is more aggressive and can be taken down by background, why do so many proud sons of the Chaos Realm still have a special liking for her?"
"What's more, didn't you see that there was a man next to her? When have you seen Jiu Bailu get so close to other men?"
"This..." The angry-faced man scratched Scratching his head, "But his background and talent are obviously not as good as yours!"
Mo Xing asked back: "Doesn't Jiu Bailu know this? But she is willing to get close to him, which means she has a good impression of him."
"She has all the talent, background, and strength."
"Good impression is the most important thing. In this case, damaging the reputation and dignity of that person in front of her will only make you look worse in Jiu Bailu's heart, and even develop into an enemy."
"What's more... how high is her vision? This person is probably not simple..."
