Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

w.a.n.g Teng couldnt sense any powerful aura from this mecha heaven-stage martial warrior. If he hid among a bunch of ordinary martial warriors, he wouldnt be able to notice him.

Of course, that was if he didnt use his Spiritual Sight, with which he could see the immense Force in the martial warriors body.

Without a doubt, this fellow was a true heaven-stage martial warrior.

How do I address you? w.a.n.g Teng asked.

An Lan! the mecha heaven-stage martial warrior replied.

Mr. An Lan, lets get to business. This is the spiritual contract from the Secondary Career Alliance. Please take a look. w.a.n.g Teng took out a scroll and placed it on the table.

The basic clauses and content had already been written. They just needed to fill in their own clauses and signatures.

An Lan nodded after reading the content. He wrote his conditions and name on the scroll.

w.a.n.g Teng glanced at the new content. As expected, he wanted w.a.n.g Teng to keep the structure of the Thousand Armaments Vessel a secret. w.a.n.g Teng felt at ease. He signed on the scroll too.

The spiritual contract lit up brightly. This meant that their contract had started to take effect.

Looking forward to our cooperation!

Looking forward to our cooperation!

They smiled involuntarily.

An Lan was happy that he found a person to make the Thousand Armaments Vessel for him. He had looked for many grandmaster blacksmiths, but none of them could forge it. As for the blacksmiths above the grandmaster level, he couldnt afford them.

However, w.a.n.g Teng was confident. He said that he could make any grandmaster-level weapon. An Lan was doubtful, but since the other party was a triple-field grandmaster, he must be extremely talented. He might honestly be able to do it.

As for w.a.n.g Teng, he was elated because he found a heaven-stage bodyguard. It wasnt easy!

The other party might not be willing to do such a low-cla.s.s job if he didnt receive enough benefits.

Both of them had their own motives, nursing their own evil intentions.

Since they had signed the spiritual contract, w.a.n.g Teng would settle the matter properly. That way, the other party would willingly be his bodyguard. Mr. An Lan, why dont you take out the Thousand Armaments Vessel for me to take a look?

An Lan took it out and placed it on the table. w.a.n.g Teng lifted the Thousand Armaments Vessel and exclaimed in surprise, This is a spiritual weapon!

As expected of a triple-field grandmaster. You could see its essence instantly, An Lan said with a smile.

Can I see the blueprint? w.a.n.g Teng asked with s.h.i.+mmering eyes.

An Lan tapped on his wrist.w.a.tch, and a light screen appeared in front of them. The design of the Thousand Armaments Vessel was displayed on it.

w.a.n.g Teng briefly looked through and frowned.

Tsk tsk, w.a.n.g Teng, this fellow fooled you. This weapon might be fifth-rank grandmaster level, but its complexity is on par with a sixth-rank or seventh-rank weapon. Round Ball nudged w.a.n.g Teng in his mind.

He did trick me. w.a.n.g Teng noticed the problem too. He was speechless.

Hahaha, but can you forge the item? If not, I can do it, Round Ball said.

Its alright, w.a.n.g Teng said. I can use it as practice and make one for myself next time. The contract says that I cant leak the blueprint. It didnt say that I cant make one for myself.

So this is what you were planning. Round Ball was caught between laughter and tears.

w.a.n.g Teng glanced at An Lan intently and said, Although this is a fifth-rank grandmaster-level weapon, its as difficult as a seventh-rank grandmaster level.

How is it? Can you do it? An Lan chuckled and asked again.

Of course, w.a.n.g Teng replied with a smile.

Thats great! An Lan was overjoyed. He felt that this was a good deal. 5 billion GQC and a request was a good deal for a weapon with the difficulty of the seventh-rank grandmaster level. The other party had just become famous, so he managed to strike a good deal.

Other grandmasters who had been renowned for a period of time might not agree to his request.

Let me say my request now, w.a.n.g Teng said.

Go ahead. An Lan smiled.

Be my bodyguard for some time, w.a.n.g Teng said with a smile. He didnt beat around the bush.

Come, lets see whos the one getting tricked!

A bodyguard? Youre asking a heaven-stage martial warrior to be a bodyguard? An Lan was dumbfounded.

Yes, is there a problem? w.a.n.g Teng asked.

Did you offend someone? An Lan might appear happy-go-lucky, but he was a cautious person.

w.a.n.g Teng resumed his own appearance and replied, My real name is w.a.n.g Teng.

At the same time, he explained his relations.h.i.+p with the faction supporting the Cao family.

Cao Hongtu is a heaven-stage martial warrior, but this matter implicates many people! An Lans gaze flickered. He knew about the baron incident. With a forced smile, he said, No wonder you agreed so quickly. You were waiting for me here!

So, what do you think?

Yes, as long as you help me forge the Thousand Armaments Vessel, I dont mind being your bodyguard for some time. An Lan gritted his teeth and agreed.

Great, I like to work with straightforward people. w.a.n.g Teng chuckled.

An Lan couldnt smile though. He thought that he got a good deal, but in the end, he was the one who got duped. The person who got the bargain was w.a.n.g Teng.

This little fox!

He still walked into a trap after all his calculations.

d.a.m.n it!

Have you prepared all the materials? w.a.n.g Teng said with a smile. He was delighted to see An Lans frustrated expression.

There are still some preparations left. An Lan shook his head. However, Im planning to head to the Unique Treasure Street today.

The Unique Treasure Street? w.a.n.g Teng was a little curious.

You can find many good things there like ores, spiritual herbs, etc. Its hard to know which ones are genuine and their qualities are inconsistent, but if you have sharp eyesight, you can get hidden gems. The best thing is, theyre cheap, An Lan said.

Are you poor? w.a.n.g Teng asked strangely.

Bulls.h.i.+t, Im not poor. I just exceeded my budget because of the Thousand Armaments Vessel, An Lan refuted immediately. He seemed a little frustrated. Grandmasters are good. Its so easy for you to make money, he continued in an envious tone.

You must be joking. Our money doesnt come easy. Look at this Thousand Armaments Vessel. I need to use my brain cells and a lot of energy to forge it. This is hard labor. Sigh, making money isnt easy! w.a.n.g Teng shook his head and lamented.

An Lan:

This w.a.n.g Teng seemed more shameless than him.

Mr. An Lan, let me accompany you to the Unique Treasure Street. Im curious now.

Thats great. Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng, youre a grandmaster blacksmith, so you must be familiar with all sorts of ores. You must help me later, An Lan said happily.

It wont be a problem as long as youre paying. w.a.n.g Teng got up and walked out.

An Lan: (# ~ #)

The two of them left the Secondary Career Alliance and headed to Unique Treasure Street.

The Unique Treasure Street was not far away. It was just beside the Kunwu District, so they didnt need to take any transport. Walking over required ten minutes.

Soon, Unique Treasure Street appeared before w.a.n.g Teng.

The first impression it gave him was that it was a bustling street. There were many people strolling back and forth. It was packed.

Under An Lans lead, they followed the stream of people and entered the street.

There were all kinds of shops and stalls lining the sides with various items displayed. Ores, spiritual herbs, star cores and star bones, and different weapons dazzled the eyes. But the quality was inconsistent, making it easy to get fooled.

This street reminded w.a.n.g Teng of the most famous antique street on Earth. Many people went there to search for treasures, hoping to find one using a small price so that they could earn more.

After all, not every martial warrior was rich. There were many poor fellows like An Lan.

An Lan didnt know that w.a.n.g Teng had already given him a poor man tag. He was in a good mood as he roamed the streets. He probably came often, so he was familiar with this place.

w.a.n.g Teng followed him while scanning his surroundings. He was curious.

Suddenly, a few attribute bubbles floating on the street caught his attention.

Surprised, he raised his eyebrows. He didnt expect bubbles to appear here. He released his spiritual power and pulled the attribute bubbles over.

Mining Skill*50

Mining Skill*80

Mining Skill*60

This attribute! w.a.n.g Teng was shocked.

He had picked up this attribute from a candidate on Earth in the past. He was surprised to see it again.

The attribute bubbles merged into w.a.n.g Tengs mind and turned into his knowledge and memory. His mining skill rose from the foundation stage to the beginner stage.

Mining Engineer: 220/1000 (beginner stage)

w.a.n.g Teng didnt stop walking. He continued to follow An Lan, and soon, he found more bubbles. He picked them up too.

Mining Skill*100

Mining Skill*80

Mining Skill*120

The same attribute again. w.a.n.g Tengs expression turned strange. He didnt think much since picking up attributes didnt cost money.

After some time, they stopped in front of a stall.

w.a.n.g Tengs mining engineer row had been upgraded from the beginner stage to the intermediate stage.

Mining Engineer: 50/3000 (intermediate stage)

At this moment, An Lan squatted in front of the stall without any concern for his image. He was wearing a hood and a metal mask, so others couldnt tell what race he was from.

It was easy to find people in this attire. Most people didnt want to reveal their ident.i.ties.

The owner of this stall was from the fox race. A red tail could be seen behind him. He was handsome, but he looked a little sly when he smiled. Please take a look. If you need anything, you can ask me.

An Lan nodded. He appeared a little cold and indifferent as he glanced at the ores.

There was a kind of ore called the Crimson Constellation Bronze in this stall. It was one of the materials for the Thousand Armaments Vessel, so An Lan stopped here to observe.

However, these Crimson Constellation Bronze were only partially cut. It might appear as if the entire ore was filled with bronze, but in reality, it just took up a small portion. There might just be a tiny bit of it. Anyone with poor knowledge and eyesight could only buy a defective good.

No devices were allowed when buying products on this street. You had to rely on your experience and ability.

Isnt this stone gambling? w.a.n.g Teng frowned.

An Lan furrowed his brows as he stared at the ores. He spoke to w.a.n.g Teng using voice transmission, Which one has better content?

w.a.n.g Teng wanted to use his Eyes of Essence to see the internal structure of the ore. That way, he would immediately know which would earn them more money and which were defective. However, he just picked up some mining attributes, so he wanted to try them out.

The main ability of a mining engineer was to look for ores. He understood all kinds of ores and could see the real value of ore just from the surface.

w.a.n.g Teng used the knowledge and experience of a mining engineer to judge the ores in the stall. His gaze s.h.i.+mmered and finally paused on an ore double the size of a football.

From the patterns and color on the surface, this ore had the highest probability of having Crimson Constellation Bronze inside.

This piece? An Lan asked through voice transmission when he saw w.a.n.g Tengs gaze.

To be safe, w.a.n.g Teng didnt reply at once. He still activated his Eyes of Essence and looked at the ore.

Boss, how much is this ore? A figure squatted down in front of the stall and patted that ore.

w.a.n.g Teng and An Lan turned to look at him.

Cao Guan! w.a.n.g Teng was stunned.

Are you here to search for treasures because youre poor? Cao Guan had come for w.a.n.g Teng. He sneered.

w.a.n.g Teng gave him a weird look.

An Lan: ( )
