Douluo, my martial soul is a mushroom

Chapter 41 41 The Yu Clan, Mimicry Cultivation

Chi Ping envisioned two directions for obtaining initial funds for Shrek Academy: one is to develop the medicinal herb planting industry, and the other is to sell light industrial machinery.

If the academy wants to develop, medicinal materials are indispensable. Shrek Academy is an academy for training soul masters, and soul masters cannot do without competitions and battles. In addition, according to Chi Ping's plan, food supplements and medicinal foods will also become a benefit of Shrek Academy in the future. Instead of relying on others, it is better to be self-reliant.

Moreover, Chi Ping is confident that, with the ability of mycelium to transform and control the land, the output of the medicinal materials produced in the medicinal fields he has opened up will definitely be among the best, and the quality will definitely be the best!

As for light industrial machinery, Chi Ping could not do it by himself, so he turned to Tang San.

When Tang San obtained the soul ring of the human-faced demon spider, he hunted the soul beast almost alone. At that time, he used a mechanical hidden weapon called "Zhuge Divine Crossbow". Ning Rongrong and Chi Ping talked about this handheld hidden weapon that day. Chi Ping had seen the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and knew that Tang San's mechanical design and manufacturing level was not low.

So Chi Ping proposed the design requirements to Tang San. His long-term efforts paid off, and Tang San agreed to Chi Ping's request for free.

The two worked together to design drawings of a series of production and engineering machinery, including textile machines, harvesters, seed drills, and mill water wheels, and then built the actual machines in the workshop within the college.

Chi Ping and Tang San's craftsmanship is beyond words, the efficiency of the machinery they made is much higher than the existing technology. After obtaining Ning Rongrong's consent and borrowing the name of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Chamber of Commerce, it was snapped up as soon as it was put on the market, and Shrek Academy earned its first pot of gold.

If you make money, you have to spend it.

In the spring of 2644 in the Douluo calendar, before the medicinal field went into production.

Chi Ping and Flanders were on their way back to Shrek Academy from Soto.

"Dean, is the engineering team you found reliable?"

The academy is about to be rebuilt, and Chi Ping is a little worried.

Shrek Academy really doesn't look like a high-level soul master academy. Not to mention the various facilities, the area is too small. So Chi Ping and Flanders decided to buy all the land in Shanzhang Village and rebuild Shrek Academy on it. The two have just reached an agreement on the land purchase with the Lord of Soto City.

"Don't you see who I am?" Flanders said arrogantly. "Although the Rock Elephant Engineering Team is not as good as the Yu Clan, it is also one of the best construction teams in the Tiandou Empire. You know Tiandou City? The Rock Elephant Engineering Team has participated in the construction of the city defense there. Only I, the Four-eyed Cat Owl Flanders, have a big reputation, and you have given me enough funds, otherwise I would not be able to invite them to the Principality of Barak."

As he spoke, Flanders felt a pain in his flesh.

The Yu clan specializes in defense and has a high level of attainment in construction engineering. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the number one construction family in the Tiandou Empire. The Yanxiang Engineering Team is a construction team led by a soul master. They are efficient and have good technology. Although they are slightly inferior to the Yu clan, they are also well-known in the Tiandou Empire.

However, the price asked by the Rock Elephant Engineering Team was not ordinary high, and the deposit was counted in units of 10,000 gold soul coins. If it were not for the purpose of allowing new students to live in the new campus during the second half of this year's enrollment and successfully qualify for the Soul Master Elite Competition, he would never hire this engineering team.

"You are really willing to do so! You sell such good technology just like that." Flanders said with emotion.

Selling only finished products is definitely not enough to raise enough funds to renovate Shrek Academy in half a year. Chi Ping and his team sell technology and mechanical design drawings. The finished products are just for display. "The old does not go away before the new comes. You can only gain if you give up. Time waits for no one. We must complete the campus renovation before the second half of the year to successfully qualify for next year's elite competition. We can't start building the campus so quickly relying on the income from the Great Fighting Spirit Arena. Besides, Xiao San and I don't care, so why should you feel bad?"

Chi Ping was very open-minded. The machines he and Tang San were selling were mainly innovative in mechanical structure. Such innovations were easy to copy, so there was no need to hide them. He could just use them to make his first pot of gold. If it was an innovation in energy, such as using electricity or soul power to drive it, he would not sell it.

Flanders was still sitting there sucking his teeth.

"That's easy to say. That's nearly 200,000 gold soul coins! They flowed into the academy account and flowed out. I didn't even have time to warm them up before they were all gone."

Before Chi Ping joined Shrek Academy, the Great Soul Arena was not a stable way to obtain gold soul coins. At that time, Shrek Academy was terribly poor because it did not accept the control of the nobles. In order to maintain the normal operation of Shrek Academy, Flanders developed a stingy character. It was only after Chi Ping joined Shrek that Flanders' greed for money was alleviated a lot due to the mutual influence over time.

Chi Ping advised: "But you can think positively. Our Shrek Academy will soon have a new campus, new dormitories and teaching buildings, and we will also have our own mimicry training ground!"

The so-called mimicry training refers to allowing soul masters to train their martial souls in the environment that best suits them. Although this cannot be said to be twice as effective, it can play a very good auxiliary role.

For example, in a forest or a place with many plants, it is suitable for practicing plant-based martial spirits such as blue silver grass, while the atmosphere of a restaurant kitchen is suitable for food-based martial spirits. Beast soul masters will be more helpful in practicing with similar animals according to their own martial spirits.

The specific auxiliary effect is closely related to the spirit master's own martial spirit. Generally speaking, the stronger the martial spirit itself is and the greater its potential is, the more benefits one will gain from practicing in a simulated environment.

However, Shrek Academy can only build plant and food mimicry training grounds now, and training grounds for beast soul masters such as zoos can only be discussed later.

In a sense, Chi Ping's mycelium is a super mimicry training ground.

Flanders sighed, "That's it. As long as it helps you little monsters, the money earned will be spent."

Although Chi Ping didn't know why he ended up comforting Flanders instead of seeking comfort from him, he was in a much better mood now.

"Dean, please take me back directly. We still have to find a way to help Village Chief Zhang and his people relocate the village. After all, we have been cooperating with them for more than 20 years. We can't just give them money and then ignore them!"

The transaction is over but the favor remains.

Chi Ping knew what it felt like to leave one's hometown. Shanzhang Village sold the village to Shrek Academy, and Chi Ping had to represent Shrek Academy to properly resettle the villagers of Shanzhang Village.

"Let's go!"

Flanders used his martial spirit to possess his body, grabbed Chi Ping's shoulders like he was carrying a hen, and flew quickly towards Shrek Academy.
