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.

“The Secondary Career Alliance helped me settle it,” Wang Teng smiled and replied.

“That’s a good thing.”

It wasn’t easy to get an identity in the Great Qian Empire. At first, Round Ball planned for Wang Teng to be recognized by the empire after he claimed the baron’s title. At that time, identity wouldn’t be a problem.

It didn’t think that Wang Teng would solve this issue before he claimed the baron’s title.

“What’s so strange about it? I’m a triple-field grandmaster. Don’t underestimate the weight of a triple-field grandmaster,” Wang Teng said.

“Look at how proud you are. Don’t feel too confident. This is the Great Qian Planet. There are many formidable characters here. Powerful figures won’t appear easily. A grandmaster is nothing,” Round Ball said.

However, it had to admit that Wang Teng was right. A triple-field grandmaster was indeed important. No wonder he could get an identity.

Wang Teng shrugged. Naturally, he wouldn’t feel proud of himself just because he had a triple-grandmaster title.

“Alright, get in.” Round Ball used Wang Teng’s registered account to pull him into the virtual universe.

This identity account was like one’s identification number on Earth. Everyone only had one and it was acknowledged by the empire.

Through this identity account, one could log in to the virtual universe. His image there would be the same as in real life.

Wang Teng had been to the virtual universe many times, so he was familiar with it. He asked for the location of the Secondary Career Alliance and headed there.

If he had a property in the virtual universe, he could use the system in the property to connect to the Secondary Career Alliance’s network. However, he didn’t have one, so he had to head there directly. It was a little more troublesome.

Since Wang Teng had appeared within the Great Qian Empire, he headed to the Great Qian Empire branch. After arriving at the Secondary Career Alliance, he went to a room specifically for grandmasters. It was like an office.

He opened a light screen on the table and searched for the information he wanted.

“There are many missions by heaven-stage martial warriors,” Wang Teng muttered to himself as he scrolled through the information.

“Who should I find?”

Browsing the list, he finally fixed his gaze on one mission.

[Need a heaven-level weapon. Reward: Five billion GQC and one request from the blacksmith. (Note: The difficulty of this weapon is higher than a normal fifth-rank grandmaster-level weapon. Thus, it requires a grandmaster blacksmith with high mastery. Please only apply if you’re skilled enough.)]

“Fifth-rank grandmaster level!” Wang Teng touched his chin and pondered.

No wonder the other party added a special note. This was a fifth-rank grandmaster-level weapon and seemed extremely difficult. Five billion was a good price.

There were different ranks at the grandmaster level. First to third-rank grandmaster-level weapons were used by cosmos-stage martial warriors. Thus, they were known as cosmos-stage weapons. Fourth to sixth-rank weapons were used by heaven-stage martial warriors and were known as heaven-stage weapons. Seventh to ninth-level weapons were used by universe-stage martial warriors, so they were called universe-stage weapons.

But this also reflected how easy it was for a grandmaster blacksmith to earn money. They could get paid a few billion GQC just from making one weapon... tsk, this was amazing!

Of course, this was related to the rank of the product. The other party required a fifth-rank weapon. Normal grandmaster blacksmiths couldn’t do it, so they wouldn’t be able to earn this money.

Wang Teng stared at his blacksmith attribute on his attributes panel.

Blacksmith: 3200/10000

3200 points. He got these points at the Secondary Career Alliance before his assessment.

But he didn’t have the ability to craft a fifth-rank weapon yet, not even a fourth-rank weapon. The Lightning Slap could attract four bolts of calamity lightning because he had instilled calamity lightning into it. His real forging mastery wasn’t enough to make a fourth-rank weapon.

But... there was no need to panic!

He would make a bargain and get this bodyguard first. He didn’t need to make it now anyway.

Wang Teng sent a message to the other party and asked directly: “What weapon do you need?”

The person replied instantly: “Which grandmaster are you?”

Wang Teng: “Do you know about the lightning calamity today?”

The other party replied as if they were shocked: “Are you the triple-grandmaster that just joined the Secondary Career Alliance?”

Wang Teng chuckled and replied: “Yes indeed.”

Another instant reply: “F**k, boss, please accept my video call. Let’s talk face to face. (✺ω✺)”

The sudden change in the tone caused Wang Teng to turn silent.

A video call invitation popped up on the screen.

Should he answer it?
