Chapter 346: The Rich Lady, Qian Renxue
Ye Wen and Qian Renxue were naturally looking for the most famous, highest-ranked, and most renowned soul engineer in this city.
So, Ye Wen casually asked a passerby, "Hey, bro, who's the most powerful soul engineer in East Sea City? I want to buy a decent melee-type soul tool. Can you recommend someone?"
"See that tallest building up ahead? That's the Decheng Commercial Building. It's run by Master Decheng, the top soul engineer in East Sea City. You can go there to buy what you need."
"By the way, what level soul engineer is Master Decheng?"
"A level 3 soul engineer," the passerby replied.
"Huh? A level 3 soul engineer is the best soul engineer in East Sea City?" Ye Wen asked, surprised.
"Hey, friend, is a level 3 soul engineer not strong enough? This is just a border city on the edge of the continent, and having a level 3 soul engineer is already pretty good, alright!" The passerby said, slightly speechless.
"Uh, heh heh, alright, thanks."
Ye Wen then turned to Qian Renxue and looked towards the Decheng Commercial Building, saying, "Let's go."
"Mm."
The two quickly headed towards the Decheng Commercial Building.
"Welcome!"
"May I ask, are you two here to buy tools or soul tools?" The receptionist, seeing Ye Wen and Qian Renxue's demeanor and appearance, immediately recognized that they were not ordinary people.
They were surely wealthy!
So, the receptionist greeted them enthusiastically.
"Oh, we'd like to buy combat-type soul tools that can enhance our strength," Qian Renxue said.
They planned to take a look at the combat-oriented soul tools designed for auxiliary soul masters.
The receptionist smiled slightly. "We have seven floors here. For soul tools, you'll need to go to the third floor. The third floor sells level 1 soul tools, the fourth floor has level 2, and the fifth floor has level 3. Which level of soul tool are you two interested in?"
"Level 1 soul tools will be fine."
"Alright, please follow me."
The receptionist led Ye Wen and Qian Renxue to the third floor, where the level 1 soul tools were displayed.
"Would you like to look at melee-type or ranged soul tools?"
"Show us both," Ye Wen replied.
"Alright."
Soon, the receptionist led them to the melee soul tools section.
Before them was a massive round table, with dozens of melee soul tools laid out—swords, knives, spears, hammers, wolf-tooth clubs, dual blades, and various other melee weapons.
At first glance, they looked like ordinary weapons, but there was a noticeable difference. All of these weapons had energy-driven devices attached to them.
Qian Renxue asked, "Can we try them out first?"
"Of course! Once you've chosen a soul tool you like, you can enter the experience room next door to try it out," the receptionist replied.
"Alright."
The two nodded and, without discussing, both chose the same type of weapon—a sword.
They each picked one and entered the experience room.
"Watch closely, Qian Renxue. Let me demonstrate for you," Ye Wen said as he gripped the soul tool in his hand. He then injected his soul power into the weapon, activating the device, and then swung the sword.
Swish! Boom!
With a powerful swing, a surge of soul power slashed through the air, smashing into the metal wall in front of them.
Boom!
Qian Renxue was surprised. "The power is impressive, and melee soul tools can even unleash long-range attacks like that?"
"Of course! Although the range is limited, it's not as far as ranged soul tools," Ye Wen explained.
Qian Renxue then tried it herself, using the sword to strike a physical target and releasing a long-range soul power slash. She nodded in satisfaction. "This is really impressive. Such technology is truly remarkable!"
"If I equipped each member of my Angel Legion with a weapon like this, they could probably sweep across Douluo Continent."
"Heh." Ye Wen smiled inwardly. The technology of soul tools was indeed impressive. After all, soul tools were the key to technological advancement in the Douluo world.
In fact, in a future world 20,000 years later, the technology of soul tools would even develop into interstellar battleships, enabling ordinary people to leave Douluo Star and enter the interstellar age. All this development would be closely tied to soul tools.
"Hello, we'll take these two soul tools. Let's check out," Qian Renxue said decisively.
Her decisiveness made the receptionist internally think, "Wow, this beautiful lady is definitely rich!"
However, the receptionist couldn't even imagine the extent of Qian Renxue's wealth. If she knew that Qian Renxue was a female emperor on another continent, whose wealth could rival that of an entire country, she might be even more shocked.
Soon, Qian Renxue bought the two soul tools, one for herself and one for Ye Wen.
After paying, Ye Wen asked, "By the way, I have a damaged space soul tool. I'd like to get Master Decheng to repair it. Could you tell me where to find him?"
"Well, if you want to find Master Decheng, you need an appointment, and for repair work like this, Master Decheng generally doesn't take it unless a large deposit is paid in advance," the receptionist said.
Qian Renxue replied, "Just tell us how much the deposit is. We'll meet him, and he can start the repair immediately."
The receptionist was stunned, thinking, "Oh my! Just how much money does this stunningly beautiful woman have?!"
After a brief moment, the receptionist quoted the price, and Qian Renxue agreed right away, "Alright, let's pay."
Qian Renxue casually tossed a bag of golden soul coins.
The receptionist was stunned. She had seen wealthy people before, but never someone this wealthy and this straightforward. She even felt a bit sorry for Qian Renxue, because the price was actually negotiable.
"Heh." Ye Wen smiled and said, "Alright, she's very rich. Now that the money is paid, you can take us to Master Decheng."
"Alright, alright! Please follow me!" The receptionist immediately led Ye Wen and Qian Renxue to the top floor while notifying Master Decheng.
