Round Ball was astounded. It didn’t know what to say in front of Wang Teng’s confidence.
As an intelligent lifeform, its growth was closely linked to its master. When it first started following Nangong Yue, he was still relatively young and had just advanced to the cosmos stage. But soon, his father’s generation died in an accident, leaving him as the only descendant of the Nangong family. Naturally, he inherited the baron title.
With his talent, he would definitely be able to reach the heaven stage after some time. Even the universe stage was possible for him. Unfortunately, his ability wasn’t compatible with his status. He soon fell into other people’s traps and got pushed to his death.
Who received his baron’s title? Was it his disciple who had reached the heaven stage? Or was it the mastermind behind that trap?
Wang Teng didn’t know. Round Ball didn’t know either.
With Nangong Yue’s help, Round Ball had managed to reach the cosmos stage. But it was still a huge distance away from those powerful bosses. Its views and vision of the world were restricted by its cosmos stage, so it didn’t know many things.
“Wang Teng, I’ll take my leave.” Di Qi interrupted Wang Teng’s thoughts.
“Okay.” Wang Teng nodded.
Di Qi left with Olivia.
“I’m leaving too. I have a few things to settle.” Wu Tai also bade farewell.
“Mr. Wang Teng, when will you like to participate in the Secondary Career Alliance’s assessment?” Runemaster Fan Taining came forward and asked after everyone had left.
“Tomorrow is good. I need to find a place to stay first,” Wang Teng hesitated before replying.
“Why don’t you stay at my residence? I have many empty rooms. Besides my disciples, there’s no one else there. You can move out after you find lodging. I have some questions about rune knowledge to ask you too.” Runemaster Fan Taining invited Wang Teng.
Wang Teng was stunned. Fan Taining might have heard his conversation with Di Qi, but he still dared to invite him to his residence. Wang Teng was surprised. He would be taking the risk of offending a heaven-stage formidable warrior.
“Master Fan Taining, you should know my situation…” Wang Teng hesitated.
“It’s alright. My master is a grandmaster-level runemaster. He has many heaven-stage martial warriors in his network as well as some universe-stage martial warriors,” Fan Taining replied calmly.
“F**k, is a grandmaster-level runemaster so popular?” Wang Teng was astounded.
A grandmaster-level runemaster was able to make friends with heaven-stage and universe-stage martial warriors? This was shocking.
“Of course. Do you think grandmaster-level runemasters are common? You might not even find one grandmaster-level runemaster among ten thousand master-level runemasters!” Round Ball said in his mind. Then, it sighed, “Unfortunately, I can’t reveal myself or I’d have registered for an identity in the Secondary Career Alliance and befriended a bunch of formidable warriors. That way, we wouldn’t be in such a passive position.”
You can’t, but I can! Wang Teng laughed in his heart.
Every cloud had a silver lining.
He thought that his opponent would be hard to deal with since he was a heaven-stage martial warrior, but after hearing this piece of good news, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Nevertheless, he kept quiet. Even Round Ball didn’t know that he had advanced to the grandmaster level.
With this thought in mind, Wang Teng smiled at Fan Taining and said, “Alright, I’ll have to disturb you for a few days then.”
He didn’t have any money on him, so he couldn’t buy properties on the Great Qian Planet. He would need a huge sum of money if he wanted to rent a room. Since Fan Taining had invited him, he didn’t mind staying there for a few days.
Moreover, Wang Teng’s aim was the baron’s title. After getting the title, he would have a place to stay.
“No worries, no worries!” Fan Taining smiled happily when Wang Teng agreed.
Compared to the threat of a heaven-stage martial warrior, he cared more about Wang Teng, who was a runemaster with great potential. From this, one could tell that Fan Taining was a pure-hearted runemaster.
“Since you have a place to stay, I’ll meet up with you tomorrow.” Dr. Leonardo parted after saying goodbye.
Fan Taining brought Wang Teng to his lodging.
When they walked out of the station, there were already cars waiting to pick them up. This made things convenient.
There were no signs of cars on the ground. The rune energy flying cars were all traveling along the tracks in the sky. They traveled in an orderly manner and at an astonishing speed.
“These rune energy flying cars have a rune core as its engine. They could fly for an entire day with one first-level energy stone,” Fan Taining explained.
“First-level energy stone?” Wang Teng nodded. He was curious about these energy stones.
Energy stones weren’t segregated like this on Earth.
“This is how we divide the energy stones in the universe. As the most basic form of currency, we need to standardize them,” Round Ball explained. “There are nine levels of energy stones, based on the amount of energy they store. The higher the level, the more energy it has and the higher its value.
“First to third-level energy stones contain ordinary Force. The fourth level and above contains the constellation Force!
“It is said that there are purer energy stones that are higher than the ninth level. But only eternal-stage martial warriors can get these resources.”
Wang Teng’s eyes shimmered. He remembered finding many energy stones inside the candidates’ space items. There was a pure constellation Force in these energy stones. They must be of the fourth level and above.
They must be worth some money!
…
They were currently at the largest main city on the Great Qian Planet, the Great Qian City. All the powerful and ancient families had properties, here and there were powerful martial warriors guarding this city. Thus, the housing prices in this city were unreasonably high.
Fan Taining couldn’t afford to buy the houses in the center, but he managed to get one property in the outermost district of the city. It was quite a big residence too.
Wang Teng knew that people with secondary careers were rich. Since Fan Taining was able to afford a property in this city, he must be quite wealthy too.
After some time, Wang Teng and Fan Taining reached their destination. This was a villa-like building.
The rune energy flying car landed on the grass without stirring any wind. The grass didn’t even move an inch.
People were standing at the entrance to welcome them. There were two youngsters, one male and one female. Both of them looked like humans.
There was also a robot beside them. It looked like a female human, but it revealed certain characteristics of a robot. For instance, there was a round and transparent device on its forehead.
“Master!”
“Master!”
Fan Taining alighted from the rune energy flying car. The two youngsters immediately came to welcome him and greeted him politely.
