For example, they might feel that they are maliciously impersonating a student of Shrek Academy.
Even if you don't feel like you're impersonating someone, it's not a good thing if people start paying attention to you. You're not from this era, and you can't handle too much attention.
Shi Yu quickened her pace, not wanting to attract too much attention.
They received special attention at the antique shop, as the shopkeepers recognized the Shrek Academy uniform.
The school badge and the words on the chest are still easy to recognize.
Seeing that he might be a student at Shrek Academy, the antique shop owner personally greeted him, showing considerable hospitality.
"Shrek Academy's status is truly extraordinary," Shi Yu thought, finally realizing the significance of the name "Shrek Academy."
"I came across a few Silver Soul Coins by chance. Could you please tell me how much they're worth?" Shi Yu took out the Silver Soul Coins.
The owner was a middle-aged man wearing glasses who introduced himself as surnamed Wang.
Mr. Wang took the Silver Soul coin, adjusted his glasses, and held it very close to his eyes, as if trying to see some of the patterns on it clearly.
"This is a Silver Soul Coin minted ten thousand years ago?" Boss Wang quickly made a discovery and looked at Shi Yu in surprise.
"Mm," Shi Yu nodded.
"Hiss!" Boss Wang gasped. Things from ten thousand years ago are very valuable.
He examined it again, rubbing the surface repeatedly, looking very professional.
Shi Yu watched him, observing his reaction, and secretly pondered the price of the Silver Soul Coin, wondering what would be a suitable price.
"Why are these Silver Soul coins so new?" Boss Wang finally asked, voicing his doubts.
It's unusual that something from 10,000 years ago shows no rust and isn't old at all.
"These are things my elders kept in a storage soul tool. They're very well preserved, so they're relatively new," Shi Yu said, reciting the explanation he had prepared beforehand.
"Even so, it shouldn't be this new," Mr. Wang still felt it was illogical.
"There are always exceptions. Some artifacts may be old, while others may be brand new. It's not that all antiques have to be very old."
"The key point is that this Silver Soul Coin is indeed something from ten thousand years ago, isn't it?" Shi Yu said with a light laugh.
Mr. Wang didn't speak, but studied it for a while longer, and then he had an answer in his mind.
He gripped the Silver Soul Coin tighter, looking at Shi Yu with a mix of thoughts running through his mind.
He was certain the item was genuine. Although it was very new, that wasn't necessarily a downside; in fact, it could be a plus. After all, old items are rare, and brand-new antiques are equally rare.
Scarcity increases value; this item might be even more valuable than the ancient Silver Soul Coin from ten thousand years ago.
All he could think about at that moment was what price to offer for the acquisition.
Offering too much would be a loss for you, while offering too little might upset the other party.
Moreover, the other party is a student of Shrek Academy. If it's discovered that he's being treated like a lamb to the slaughter, he could be in big trouble.
The students of Shrek Academy are all prodigies, and it's highly likely they will become powerful figures in the future.
It seems inappropriate to offend a future Soul Master for the sake of money.
Most importantly, the other party was also looking at him with a wary look in their eyes, clearly wary of him offering an inappropriately low price.
"I should have a conscience," Mr. Wang said, suppressing his greed.
A dozen minutes later, Shi Yu left the antique shop with five million Federal Credits in his pocket.
All five million federal dollars are stored on one card, so there's no issue with carrying them around.
The silver soul coins sold for a total of five million. The price could actually have been higher, but it would have required an auction, which would have been too time-consuming and not suitable.
Shi Yu then opted to sell at a low price, and the five million Federal Credits he received were already in line with his expectations.
The first thing Da Cheng did after getting money was to buy a communicator. Communicators in that era were actually quite similar to smartphones.
After spending 10,000 yuan to buy what was considered the best communicator at a normal price, I found a place to sit down and research various things.
The first term he searched was how long it had been since Huo Yuhao disappeared from the continent, trying to determine the timeline. The answer was 10,000 years.
"This should be from Tang Wulin's time. I wonder how old Tang Wulin is now, whether he is studying in Donghai City, Shrek Academy, or still studying in Aolai City," Shi Yu thought to himself.
I never stopped thinking about these things, searching for all sorts of information I wanted to know.
The most important thing is how to obtain the qualification to ascend to the Spirit Platform.
He remembered that there was a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's external soul bone at the Spirit Ascension Platform in Donghai City. This thing was extremely valuable, and since he was already in Donghai City, there was no reason for him to miss it.
I just don't know if that soul bone is still there. If Tang Wulin has already gone to Shrek Academy, then it's not.
If not, there's still a chance, and he'll give it a try no matter what.
"Luckily, even without a spirit, we can still get in," Shi Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
There is an official website for the Spirit Ascension Tower online, which clearly states the conditions for entering the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Having a spirit is not a necessary condition; even a spirit ring can have its lifespan increased by relying on the energy of the spirit beast in the Spirit Ascension Platform.
However, the enhancement effect is less than one-tenth of that of a soul spirit, and there is a possibility that the soul ring may be damaged due to energy influence.
The note above states that it is not recommended for Soul Masters without a Soul Spirit to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Not recommending it doesn't mean it's inaccurate; Shi Yu still has a chance.
The difficulty lies in obtaining the qualification to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform. Having money alone is not enough; you also need some background. Alternatively, you can choose to join the Spirit Transfer Tower.
"Joining the Spirit Pagoda is really a good choice," Shi Yu seriously considered the matter.
There are many things in this era that didn't exist during the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era, such as Soul Spirits, advanced Soul Tools, Battle Armor, and Mechs.
If he could, he wanted to master it all; wouldn't that be like a game-changing, overwhelming force if he could return to the era of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect?
The most desired item is the Soul Spirit, which can solve the problem of difficulty in obtaining Soul Rings.
A spirit can provide multiple spirit rings. If you obtain a suitable spirit beast and turn it into a spirit, you may not need to worry about two or three spirit rings, as they will automatically evolve when you reach the required level.
There are also ways to increase the age of a spirit ring, which is much better than a normal spirit ring.
To acquire the technology of spirits, it seems one must join the Spirit Pagoda, and this technology is not publicly available.
"Whatever, let's take it one step at a time." Shi Yu's concern was that if he joined the Spirit Pagoda and then traveled back in seven days, there might be a gap in the journey.
It's hard to say how the Spirit Pagoda will view his disappearance at that time.
After hesitating for a while, I stopped thinking about it and decided to take it one step at a time.
Since they can't find me even if I disappear, there's no need to worry too much about what will happen next.
