When they returned to Fan Taining’s residence, it was already night. Fan Taining ordered the servants to prepare delicious food. He even took out his wine collection.
Besides the Baccarat Golden Rum, he also collected other alcohols from different planets.
This was a good thing about the universe. There were various planets here, so one could find numerous specialties. The wine alone had thousands of planets making it in the Great Qian Empire, much less in the entire universe.
Of course, these were luxury products. They needed to be delivered from faraway planets, so the price was exceptionally high.
After learning that Wang Teng was a grandmaster, Fan Taining became even more enthusiastic. Grandmaster Alfred was present too. Fan Taining placed Wang Teng at the same level as his master, treating him with much respect.
His disciples, Hou Zhiwei and Cui Si’te, were confused. Though their master treated Wang Teng warmly in the past, he wasn’t this deferential. What made him act this way?
“Grandmaster Wang Teng has just passed the grandmaster assessment. You must treat him politely and with respect,” Fan Taining pulled them to the side and reminded them.
“Grandmaster!” Hou Zhiwei and Cui Si’te were stunned.
Wang Teng wasn’t a master. He was a grandmaster!
They found it unreal!
But when they saw Grandmaster Alfred talking to Wang Teng enthusiastically as if they were friends, their doubts vanished. They started to feel admiration for Wang Teng.
He wasn’t someone they could be compared with. They might have been a little unconvinced at the start, but now, they felt overwhelmed. The difference in status gave them invisible stress.
Wang Teng didn’t notice anything. He was having a great conversation with Grandmaster Alfred and Master Fan Taining. Both the host and the guests had a great time.
At the end of the meal, Wang Teng said, “Grandmaster Alfred, do you know any heaven-stage martial warriors? I can make pills and weapons for him, but he needs to be my bodyguard for some time.”
“Hahaha, Grandmaster Wang Teng, you’re famous now. You just have to fill in your requirements on the Secondary Career Alliance virtual web. Many heaven-stage martial warriors will be willing to work with you. You can also take a look at the virtual web. There should be many heaven-stage martial warriors looking for dans or weapons. You can bargain with them,” Grandmaster Alfred smiled and replied.
“I see.” Wang Teng understood. “Thanks for the reminder.”
“This is just a small matter. It’s nothing. I’ll make a move first,” Grandmaster Alfred said after having his fill.
“Alright, let me send you.” Wang Teng got up.
“Come and visit me when you have the time. I will send my address to you via the virtual web,” Grandmaster Alfred said.
“Sure.” Wang Teng smiled.
“Fan Taining, take good care of Grandmaster Wang Teng. If you treat him impolitely, I’ll kick you out,” Grandmaster Alfred warned him.
Fan Taining was sad and flustered.
However, he was used to it. Ever since he became his disciple, he had lived under Grandmaster Alfred’s shadow. His master always threatened to kick him out. His mentality had been trained very well.
After Grandmaster Alfred left, Wang Teng went back to his room to get some rest. He prepared to go to the virtual web Grandmaster Alfred had mentioned.
“Round Ball!” Wang Teng sat cross-legged on the ground and called for Round Ball in his heart.
“Huh? Has your assessment ended?” Round Ball appeared after some time and asked curiously.
Wang Teng didn’t know where it went for the past few days. It acted mysteriously, not even appearing during his grandmaster assessments.
“I passed,” Wang Teng said.
“How is it?” Round Ball probed.
“I’m triple-field grandmaster now,” Wang Teng said casually.
“What? Triple-field grandmaster?!” Round Ball widened its eyes in shock. “Are you kidding me?”
“Why would I? Take a look if you don’t believe me.” Wang Teng took out three tokens from his space ring. There were three different images carved on them: a rune, a furnace, and a hammer. They represented rune grandmaster, alchemist grandmaster, and blacksmith grandmaster respectively.
“F**k, why are you a triple-field grandmaster? You didn’t tell me anything!” Round Ball had to believe him after seeing the three tokens. But it was still astounded and found it unbelievable.
“You didn’t ask,” Wang Teng replied as he tried his best to suppress his laughter.
Round Ball was exasperated. It realized how bad Wang Teng’s sense of humor was. Taking a deep breath, it said angrily, “Since you’re a blacksmith grandmaster, why did you make me craft the armor for you?”
“Oh, I wasn’t a grandmaster blacksmith at that time. However, after seeing your forging process, I was enlightened and somehow managed to achieve a breakthrough,” Wang Teng said.
He relied on picking up attributes to reach the grandmaster level, but he wasn’t wrong. After all, he picked up the attributes from Round Ball.
Round Ball almost choked on its own saliva.
How infuriating!
Look at what he’s saying!
Somehow managed to achieve a breakthrough? Are you boasting? Seriously! Shameless!
“Since I helped you with the breakthrough, how are you going to thank me?” Round Ball asked. It had a sharp tongue too.
“What does my breakthrough have to do with you?”
“I feel proud of your shamelessness!”
“You sound like you’re scolding me.” Wang Teng rolled his eyes. “Alright, let’s stop wasting time. I want to enter the virtual universe.”
“Okay!” Round Ball prepared to pull him into the virtual universe.
“Wait, use my registered identity. Don’t use the unregistered one this time,” Wang Teng said.
“Have you registered already?” Round Ball was surprised.
