“Next.” The clerk continued announcing. “Scott.”
“Yes.” Scott took a big step forward. It was a twenty-three- or twenty-four-year-old young man with red hair. He looked confident and wore an extremely proud smile on his face. “Do I put my hand here?”
“Not bad. You look very confident.” The clerk smiled. “Your results must be quite good?”
“Of course!” Scott placed his hand on the stone tablet and closed his eyes briefly…
Everyone’s breathing became faster in an instant!
The confident young man, how capable was he? Level nineteen? Twenty? Or higher?!
Soon, the stone tablet displayed his results of the Tower of Trials—
“Scott from the Trenches Planet, level twenty-two of the Tower of Trials, cleared on the thirty-fourth attempt.”
“This…” The clerk stared with his eyes wide open. Then, he shouted excitedly, “Scott from the Trenches Planet, twenty-four years old, level twenty-two of the Tower of Trials, cleared on the thirty-fourth attempt, directly promoted to orange-level Honorary Aristocrat! Direct promotion!”
“Hahahaha!” Scott threw his head back and laughed. “I said I’m powerful, hahaha!”
It was no wonder he was so pleased. It was not easy for someone of his age to achieve such results. Even the audience stood up and applauded him. Thunderous applause could be heard through the entire hall—
“Tsk tsk, level twenty-two of the Tower of Trials, cleared on the thirty-fourth attempt. Incredible. With his talent, he is sure to advance to yellow-level Honorary Aristocrat on January 12 when the assessment is held.”
“No wonder he’s so confident. He has the right to be!”
“Indeed. I think he should be one of the super-geniuses, right?”
“Definitely. Other than the freak that cleared thirty levels at one go, he should be on the top of the list!”
Hearing the voices of envy and the applause, Scott beamed. Conceit, this was something not many could resist—otherwise, why would he train so hard for it?
“Congratulations, Mr. Scott.” The clerk bowed respectfully. “In the future, you will be my superior.”
“Hahaha, you flatter me.” Scott triumphantly said, “If given the chance, I will take good care of you.”
As he spoke, he turned around to look at the people who came forward to get tested. “Aye, There aren’t even any beautiful ladies to flirt with. It’s a pity.” But he was soon happy again. “When I put on the orange-level Honorary Aristocrat cloak, haha. Just thinking of it makes me happy!”
Once he became an Honorary Aristocrat, he would possess power, money, and status. It was no exaggeration to say that from this moment, he only had to show respect to a few hundred people in Shenluo City.
“Mister, please follow me!” His superior had appeared. The clerk hurriedly changed his attitude, nodding and bowing. “Someone will bring you to settle the paperwork. Next, we will look at how you progress in the future. If you can pass level twenty-four, you will be able to advance to yellow-level Honorary Aristocrat!”
“Haha, it’s nothing, it’s nothing.” Scott patted on the clerk’s shoulder, satisfied. “Well done, hahahaha!”
Then, he strode off.
When Scott left, the clerk twitched his lips. “What’s the big deal, the number one mystery man in the Milky Way is way stronger. He passed thirty levels at one go, I don’t see him behaving like you. Chey…”
…
Honorary Aristocrat finalist office.
Scott entered the office and officers came forward to deliver all the related items belonging to the orange-level Honorary Aristocrat. They included the exclusive Honorary Aristocrat’s cloak, ten million Galaxy Dollars, and all kinds of armors, gems, and cores.
“Mr. Scott,” the clerk said respectfully, “you have become an orange-level Honorary Aristocrat, please decide on the name on the cloak.”
“Oh? I can decide the name?” Scott touched his chin. “It has to be attention-grabbing.”
It was a big matter. This name would follow him for life. He thought for a while, and decided on the name solemnly—
“Aristocrat.Tianyi!”
“Hahaha, this is a good name!” Scott was very satisfied with this name. “It should be heaven’s will 1 that I became an Honorary Aristocrat. Hahahaha!”
“Alright, respected orange-level Honorary Aristocrat, Sir Tianyi, the other paperwork will be settled later on.” The clerk bowed respectfully and secretly thought, This brat is crazy. Heaven’s will? Damn it. It’s heaven’s will that you became an Honorary Aristocrat? Do you represent God?
Of course, he thought that way, but he could not say so. After all, the other party was much higher in rank than him.
“En, en. Not bad. Hahaha!” Scott, also known as the current Aristocrat.Tianyi, strode proudly out the office door. “I’m going to go to the streets. Haha!”
…
Star Harbor, level eleven.
There were already three to five passers-by standing in front of the shop that Hong Dali bought. They looked at the gems embedded armor in the shop and discussed among themselves—
One person asked, “Aye, brother, what’s with this shop? Why is there only one armor in the shop? It seems it is embedded with gems. It’s only selling for one thousand Galaxy Dollars? Is it for real?”
Another person said, “How would I know? The shop is closed. I wonder what is going on. It’s quite worth if this armor is really for sale. The value of the armor, just the three gems will be worth quite a lot!”
A third person said, “That’s right. The gems on the armor, even if they are the lowest +1 attribute, three of those together with the armor, one thousand Galaxy Dollars is definitely worth it.”
The other two people nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. Let’s wait and see. I wonder when this shop will open. But for this one thousand Galaxy Dollars, the wait will be worth it!”
Hence, with this mindset, they waited outside the shop. Some who were smarter asked the neighboring shop boss, “Aye, boss, will this shop open? Who owns it? Why are they selling only one armor? And it’s embedded. Are they intending to lose money?” The boss said, “It belongs to an Honorary Aristocrat. God knows what he’s thinking. We cannot understand the mind of the god-like person.”
Just like that, people began queuing endlessly outside the shops.
In the beginning, it was only three to five people. Slowly, more than ten people. One by one, they eagerly looked inside the shop as they waited.
Just like that, more and more people queued. In just one hour, there were twenty to thirty people waiting outside the door.
At this moment, some started to get impatient. After waiting for so long, it was just for an armor that was slightly more worth it, with a profit of about one thousand Galaxy Dollars. Many hesitated and wondered if they should continue to wait.
Just at this moment, the great Mister Gate walked out of the shop!
“There are so many people?” The great Mister Gate looked at the crowd and opened the shop door indifferently. “Are all of you intending to buy the armor?”
“Yes, yes, yes. I sincerely wish to buy it.” “It’s necessary. Why else would we wait so long?” “Mister, how much is this armor? Is it really only one thousand Galaxy Dollars?”
Mister Gate looked at the crowd, then looked at the armor and nodded. “Just one thousand.”
It was really selling for one thousand! The crowd erupted. The twenty to thirty people looked at each other then started rushing into the shop. The first person to reach the counter immediately slammed one thousand Galaxy Dollars on the counter and shouted, “I’m the fastest! This armor is mine! It’s mine, hahaha!”
He was the first in the shop. On the other side, several people rushed toward the armor. After all, the real value of the armor depended on the embedded gems. Hence, the level of the gems was very important.
Hong Dali did not even put up any protection measures when he hung up the armor. The crowd was able to touch it.
Soon, everyone was dumbfounded…
“This… this…” When one person touched it, he rushed to the counter and slammed one thousand Galaxy Dollars on the counter too. “Boss, I want this armor. Sell it to me!”
The person from before protested. “I was here first, and I gave the money first. Why should it be sold to you?”
“Why? I just want to buy it, what do you mean why?” The second person did not take it lying down. “How about we take this outside?!”
That was three Energy +8 embedded gems! To Hong Dali, they were rubbish. They only took up space even in the space watch. But to them, those were the real deal. Especially since they were only sold for one thousand Galaxy Dollars…
Some swung their money in the air. “I want it! I want it! Sell it to me! Sell it to me!”
Some were busy curry favoring. “Mister, you look radiant and good-fortuned, one look and I can tell you are not an ordinary person. You’re so great, could you sell me the armor?”
Some smarter ones. “I’ll pay five thousand, five thousand Galaxy Dollars for it! My price is the highest, sell it to me!”
Some threatened. “Damn it, get lost. My fist doesn’t have eyes!”
The entire shop was in a frenzy.
Hong Dali got the great Mister Gate to watch the shop for one hundred and twenty thousand Galaxy Dollars, in addition to their relationship. It was no joke!
“Your fist don’t have eyes?” Mister Gate sneered. He was big and tall. Standing beside the rest, he was like a huge water bucket, extremely scary. The man who threatened everyone was so scared and moved back three steps!
“I only know that my fist doesn’t have eyes.” Mister Gate lifted the man by his clothes and threw him out of the door. Everyone became silent.
