Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 110 Barbecue Convenience Store

It's done.

Although Long You's parents in Tiandou City hadn't been able to reach him yet, he knew that the satellite launched by Shrek Academy had successfully begun operation.

Thanks to the electromagnetic railgun, satellites can be launched directly into their designated orbits without requiring orbital maneuvers. The system can be activated once the satellite has stabilized, making it more convenient than a launch vehicle.

Therefore, no one present was in a hurry to leave; everyone was waiting for the results of the satellite launch.

The teachers, deans, and most of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion in the Martial Soul Department had little research on the application of soul tools, so the task of determining the satellite's operational status still fell to the Soul Guidance Department.

Long You sent a video call request to his parents to verify whether the communication signal coverage had expanded to the expected range after the satellite launch. At the same time, Long Guozhang, on behalf of the Soul Guidance System, activated the external projection system of the underground launch base.

Long You's actions remained unknown to others, but Long Guozhang's actions captivated the hearts of everyone present.

As long as the outdoor projection system can project the scenery within a radius of 100 kilometers of Shrek City, it means that the launched satellite has begun to operate and has established a stable signal connection with the Panlong AI server on the ground.

(If it were just a single satellite, the communication signal wouldn't be able to directly cover Sky Fighting City from Shrek City.)

However, after discovering the turbulent situation in the main branch of Xingluo City, the Long family began to secretly disperse its forces. Long family strongholds were established in major cities along the line from Tiandou City to Shrek City, and communication signal towers were built in these strongholds.

However, Shrek City was too unique; there was no established city within a radius of 100 kilometers. Therefore, Long You could not directly communicate with Heaven Dou City through the communication points established by his family. He could only communicate via telegram.

Now that the satellite is in orbit, Shrek City's signal coverage directly connects to the Long family's stronghold, the city closest to Shrek Academy, allowing Long You to directly communicate with Tian Dou City.

"Xiao You, what's wrong? Why are you contacting me so late?"

"Mom, didn't you notice what kind of communication we're using right now? I'm at Shrek Academy."

"Wait, what's this?"

"The academy launched a satellite..."

Long You was the first to complete the video call connection. Since the sound output of the soul-guided power armor had been turned off, Long You chatted with his mother without any restraint.

While Long You was chatting with Long's mother, the outdoor projection system controlled by Long Guozhang was also projecting a realistic image of Shrek City and its surrounding area onto the underground launch site.

"It's done!"

Despite the shutdown of external communication, Long You could still sense the excitement in Qian Duoduo's voice just by looking at him.

With things having reached this point, there was no longer any need for Long You and the other students to remain. The teachers still needed to continue discussing the future development direction of the Soul Guidance Department, what changes the launch of this satellite would bring to Shrek Academy, and how Shrek Academy should respond to the wolfish ambitions of the Sun Moon Empire.

Back at the dormitory, Xiao Muyang wasn't there. After asking Beibei, who was playing with the geese, Longyou learned that Huo Yuhao had indeed brought Xiao Muyang over first, but when Xiao Muyang saw that only Beibei and Dabai were in the room and his nanny wasn't there, he absolutely refused to get off Huo Yuhao.

Left with no other option, Huo Yuhao had to temporarily take Xiao Muyang to his dormitory. Because of this, Long You also had to go downstairs again and head towards Huo Yuhao's dormitory.

Before leaving, Longyou asked Beibei to boil a pot of water until it was boiling.

During the day, Xiao Muyang was jumping around in Longyou's private soul guidance laboratory, turning his white fur gray. Then, when they went out to eat outside the academy at night, he dared to roll around on the ground at a barbecue stall, turning his gray fur completely black.

Considering that the little guy probably wouldn't dare to sleep alone at night, Longyou felt it was necessary to give him another bath.

As Long You approached Huo Yuhao's dormitory floor, the aroma of barbecue wafted towards her nose. When she could finally see Huo Yuhao's dormitory, she involuntarily paused.

People, everywhere you look, there are people. Huo Yuhao's dormitory is completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of freshmen, and enticing aromas waft from the open door. The noisy din indicates that it's clearly a night market stall.

Several times, Long You tried to take a step, but he stopped himself in the face of the surging crowd.

"Forget it, let's find the boss. Huo Yuhao is really something else. Even if he doesn't set up a stall outside the school, he can still run a night market barbecue restaurant in his own dormitory."

The call was connected, and Huo Yuhao struggled to emerge from the crowd, pulling Long You along with him.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao's dormitory door was already looking like it was about to fall apart, Long You shook his head slightly, but still showed his soul ring, causing the group of guys outside to retreat slightly. He then used the prefabricated metal panels used for setting up temporary camps to build a shop window at the door.

Although the exact situation is still unclear, judging from the current circumstances, if Huo Yuhao and his roommate Song He can't get all the freshmen on this floor to eat barbecue skewers tonight, they definitely won't be able to rest. Didn't you see that even Xiao Muyang, who just gained control of his soul power, was forced to breathe fire?

Since not all the new students had arrived yet, after Longyou joined them, the lively new students quickly got their own skewers and returned to their dormitories.

"Tell me," Long You said, pressing the jet-black, shiny Xiao Muyang to the ground. He looked at Huo Yuhao and Song He with a weary expression and asked, "What's going on here?"

"Senior Long, this is actually my fault." Huo Yuhao was still organizing his thoughts when Song He, the chubby boy with a big heart, a big smile, and a noticeably sharper tongue, spoke first.

"Senior, you can tell from my physique that I have a gluttonous appetite. I can't sleep at night without a late-night snack. So, after leaving the Soul Guidance Department, I discussed it with Yuhao and we went to the barbecue stall we had been to before and got a hundred pork belly skewers and fifty bluefish skewers."

Of course, we can't possibly eat all of this at once. Yuhao said you had a soul tool that could preserve food, so we took a little extra, planning to eat it for the next two days just to keep it fresh.

Unexpectedly, Yuhao's grilled fish and meat skills are top-notch, even better than mine, a fire-type soul master. Now the aroma fills the entire dormitory building!

The aroma alone made me hungry, even though I wasn't hungry before. Yuhao and I discussed it and decided that since we're both poor, we might as well start selling them—five copper soul coins a string of them.
