However, after trying all the surrounding materials and finding none usable, the boy had no choice but to buy a piece of iron essence, which resulted in the storage soul tool he now possesses.
Of course, this also made him realize that for the soul guidance array to function properly, the material of the object it supports also has certain requirements.
This situation reminded Huo Yuhao of the materials science content mentioned in some pre-war books he had seen in the wasteland.
Although materials science has many branches, from the structure of materials to new metallurgical technologies applied in engineering or optimizing the crystallization process of certain raw materials in the food industry, its purpose is still to optimize and create new material structures.
The reason why the boy thought of these things at this time was because rare metals were too expensive. It would be great if materials that were cheaper and had a stronger load-bearing capacity for soul guidance arrays could be manufactured.
Even though Huo Yuhao was feeling sentimental about all this, when he saw the storage soul tool that had appeared before him, he still put the book into the storage soul tool and then put it back on his person.
The boy didn't explain anything at that moment; he simply put the things away under the gaze of others.
Upon seeing this, Wang Dong and the others stopped their previous conversation. They seemed to realize that the things the young man had just produced required a great deal of effort from him.
However, Wang Dong and his colleagues believed that Huo Yuhao's efforts were the result of his hard work in saving money.
Before they could say anything more, at that moment, an elderly man with a cane and a severely bent back came to the boy's stall and bought a grilled fish.
Upon seeing the old man, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao recognized him as the same old man who always sat on the recliner downstairs in the freshman dormitory.
So Wang Dong and his companion said, "Sir, would you like to try this?"
Upon hearing this, the old man with squinted eyes smiled and said, "I've been smelling this aroma lately, so I came to try it. And it seems today is the last day to sell it; I wonder if it will still be available tomorrow."
The boy simply smiled, told him he wouldn't be setting up his stall there tomorrow, and then handed him the grilled fish.
Upon hearing this answer, the old man simply took the grilled fish that Huo Yuhao handed him and began to chew it.
When the fish entered his mouth, his expression didn't change much, but he slightly opened his eyes, which had been squinting, and looked at Huo Yuhao in front of him.
The eyes, which should have been filled with a sense of aging, were bright at this moment, unlike the eyes of an old man.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds without saying a word.
He paused his chewing, the crackling of the wood burning in the fire still ringing in his ears. Then, looking at Huo Yuhao in front of him, he murmured, "He really is different."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao didn't react much, but simply stared silently at the old man in front of him.
Although he didn't know what the other person was, the boy felt that the other person was more than just what appeared to be.
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong said, "Grandpa, you think so too, right? The grilled fish here is much better than what's sold in the academy cafeteria..."
Upon hearing this, he simply smiled, glanced at the people around him, narrowed his eyes again, and left.
The others just thought it was a simple sale, at most Huo Yuhao felt that the other party was not as simple as it seemed.
However, Bei Bei had just recovered from his surprise when he realized that the person in question was none other than Mu En, the Dragon God Douluo with the strength of a Limit Douluo and the master of the Sea God Pavilion, who was also his ancestor.
Beibei didn't know why he had come here, but he knew he couldn't reveal the other person's identity here. Watching the other person's disappearing figure, Beibei simply closed his slightly open mouth.
In the sea of spirit, Brother Tianmeng said to the boy that the person just now was not simple, but Brother Tianmeng couldn't explain why, and didn't dare to use his spiritual power to test him.
Huo Yuhao simply nodded in response, confirming his earlier guess, and then continued with his work.
After the day's sales ended and the group finished dinner, the young man didn't pack up his stall. Instead, he picked out a few pots and pans that he might need later and put them into his storage soul tool. Then he distributed the rest of his items to the surrounding stalls.
After seeing Huo Yuhao distribute the goods from his stall, Bei Bei and the others knew that he was really leaving this place this time.
Instead of heading straight back to the academy as usual, they accompanied the boy on the commercial street as a farewell gesture.
Along the way, no one was sad, and they strolled around as usual.
Then, when they arrived at a certain shop, Huo Yuhao said he wanted to go in and buy something, and then he went inside.
Upon hearing this, the people around looked over curiously, and then Xiao Xiao instinctively looked at the shop.
The setting sun was just beginning to paint the sky red, and the surrounding shops had already lit up their lights. This shop was no exception. Then, the group saw Huo Yuhao inside point in a direction to the shop assistant and say something. The shop assistant then smiled and walked over.
The people outside watched this scene with blank expressions, because they saw the shop assistant wrap up a very exquisite women's dress from inside the glass display case and hand it to Huo Yuhao, who then paid for it.
As Huo Yuhao emerged from inside and put the package in his storage soul tool, the way the people around him looked at him changed.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao spoke first. In a strange tone, she asked the boy, "Yuhao, why did you buy this women's clothing? Do you have that kind of hobby?"
"If that's the case, your eyes combined with this women's clothing should look quite nice..."
As Xiao Xiao spoke, she imagined what Huo Yuhao would look like wearing the women's clothing, and the others couldn't help but imagine the scene after hearing this.
For a moment, everyone tried to suppress their smiles, after all, that scene was a huge contrast to the boy's usual self.
Even at this moment, Tianmeng, who was in the sea of spirit, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Seeing this scene, he knew that the matter had been misunderstood again, but he couldn't help but think about what it looked like in his mind.
In the end, he couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing.
Then Huo Yuhao tried to suppress his laughter and looked at Xiao Xiao in front of him, saying, "I'm telling you, what kind of weird books do you read every day?"
"I just wanted to buy this dress, and it's a women's dress. You think I'm more likely to give it away than to wear it myself?"
"But if it's like you said, then the scene would probably be unbearable to watch. I really want to forget what I just imagined..."
