Chapter 148: So Ugly
Neuvillette and Focalors were taken aback by Moffett's approach. They looked at him with suspicion.
"Grandpa Mo, what are you up to?"
Neuvillette asked warily. He sensed something odd in Moffett's smile.
Maybe he had ulterior motives...
He had been tricked by him before.
"Neuv, listen."
Moffett paused and continued: "I have a favor to ask of you and your wife."
Moffett rubbed his hands nervously, his face hopeful.
"???"
Neuvillette was puzzled by his words and asked instinctively: "What favor?"
"Oh, it's nothing much."
Moffett scratched his head and said sheepishly: "Well, you see, there are still more than two years left until the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition. Some things need to be prepared and reserved in advance."
He paused again and went on: "I want to invite you and Focalors to take a trip to Skywater Academy."
(Sugar Water Group was in anime )
"Talk to their contestants this year and see if they can perform a dance during the preliminaries to spice up the atmosphere. Of course, it will be paid!"
Skywater Academy was an advanced soul master academy that only accepted water or ice attribute soul masters, and they had to be beautiful women.
The academy might not be very strong, but it had a good eye for beauty. The students and instructors in their academy all had an appearance score of at least 85.
The reason why Skywater Academy was invited to dance was simple. In the previous years of the elite competition of the continent's advanced soul master academies, Skywater Academy was very popular because they were all gorgeous women.
The eight major families were in the business of soul fighting. They didn't care who won or lost. As long as they could attract people, they would make money.
"The reward will be ten times the market price, which is five thousand gold soul coins!"
Normally, if a dance group was hired to warm up the show, a dance would cost up to five hundred gold soul coins.
The Skywater women's team was quite famous, and they were also qualifiers for the elite competition of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy. The price offered was ten times, which was not bad.
"If they refuse, then forget it and just treat it as a vacation on us!"
Moffett said with a smile.
Neuvillette and Focalors exchanged a glance.
Go to Skywater Academy and invite the Skywater Girl Group to dance? ? ?
After thinking for a moment, Neuvillette nodded.
He had been in Heaven Dou City for too long, and it was okay to go out for a change.
As for the Skywater girl group, he had no interest in them.
"Okay, then when do we..."
"Tomorrow!"
Moffett interrupted Neuvillette before he could finish.
Why the rush?
Neuvillette and Focalors' eyes widened, a bit baffled.
Moffett then took out two cards, one gold and one black.
Don't think that gold was more valuable. The gold card was a savings card with a face value of 5,000 gold soul coins.
It could be exchanged for gold soul coins in any soul fighting arena on the Douluo Continent except the Spirit Hall Grand Fighting Arena.
The black card was a savings card with a face value of one hundred thousand.
"???"
What kind of trip cost more in expenses than in business?
"Neuv, and Focalors, you guys have to enjoy yourselves when you go out!"
"I won't send anyone to protect you. If we run into trouble, it's still a question of who protects whom."
Moffett smiled wryly. He knew it was pointless to send a soul saint to protect them. If anything happened, who would protect whom? He was well aware of Neuvillette's strength. He could overpower Bone Douluo with one hand. He didn't need any protection.
Neuvillette took the Gold Soul Coin savings card from Moffett's hand. He and Focalors had plenty of money, but this was Moffett's way of showing his gratitude. If he refused, Moffett might lose sleep over it.
Old people tended to overthink things...
"Alright, Grandpa Mo, we'll leave tomorrow morning."
Neuvillette nodded and said.
"Well, don't host today. Rest up and have fun tomorrow... No, I mean, let's go to Skywater Academy tomorrow..." He almost slipped up. Was he going to have fun?
This was supposed to be a business trip.
They chatted for a few more minutes, then Moffett left with a smile.
He could have asked anyone to invite the Skywater girl group to dance, but he wanted Neuvillette and Focalors to take a break. Skywater Academy was far from Heaven Dou City. It would take at least a month for ordinary people to get there.
There was no hurry. The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition qualifiers were still more than two years away. He had made the reservation and paid in advance.
"Water attribute people are really rich..."
Neuvillette looked at the black card in his hand and muttered. Then he glanced at Focalors next to him.
This person had given up her divine status for money.
Neuvillette put away the two cards and said to Focalors: "Ms. Focalors, we don't have to host tonight. Do you want to go out and try some snacks, or go back to the dorm and have some snacks?"
Focalors blushed and lowered her head. She whispered: "Isn't it too early for snacks now?"
"Maybe we should go shopping..."
"Okay, Ms. Focalors."
Neuvillette smiled. Focalors looked so adorable at that moment.
Suddenly, Focalors remembered something. Her eyes sparkled and she raised her head. She said to Villette: "By the way, Neuvillette, the photo camera I told you about last time is ready."
"Here, I'll give you one!"
She took out a photo camera from the storage soul guide and handed it to Neuvillette.
Neuvillette took the photo camera without thinking. It looked just like the one in the game.
He turned the camera on Focalors, who was caught off guard. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly...
"Click!"
Fukalos: "??"
She seemed to realize something. She walked up to Neuvillette and said: "Villette, let me see how the photo turned out..."
"Can we forget about it?"
Neuvillette said hesitantly. He looked at the picture in the camera and then at Focalors. He almost burst out laughing.
"No, you have to show me."
Focalors grabbed the photo camera from Neuvillette's hand and looked at the screen.
She was speechless when she saw the photo.
After a long silence, she said faintly: "It's so ugly... Neuvillette, how did you take this photo?"
"Focalors, don't be mad, you just look like this..."
