Chapter 2533: Encounter! Le Tun’s Astonishment! Mining Grandmaster! (3)
Grandmaster Alfred immediately transmitted the events that had just occurred to Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others.
“To think there was such danger!” Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others’ expressions turned grave.
“That’s right. Fortunately, Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng has an eternal-stage ruler protecting him,” Grandmaster Alfred lamented.
At the mention of this guardian, Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others were shocked. “It seems that Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng has experienced quite a lot during his time away from the Great Qian Empire.”
“An eternal-stage ruler guardian!” Luo Tang and the other young grandmasters exchanged glances with one another. They were flabbergasted.
Even if they became saint-level secondary profession holders, they couldn’t have an eternal-stage guardian accompanying them at all times.
Faced with such a huge gap, they all felt a sense of frustration.
Even if they surpa.s.sed w.a.n.g Teng in secondary professions, they still couldn’t compare to him.
Moreover, in terms of secondary professions, they might not even be better than w.a.n.g Teng.
As they conversed, they walked into the hall on the second floor, where various-sized ores were displayed around. Figures surrounded these ores, discussing and evaluating them, creating a lively scene.
w.a.n.g Teng narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a sense of joy. He had already noticed several attribute bubbles floating around some people.
Get them!
Mining Skill*2oo
Mining Skill* 500
Mining Skill*35O
One by one, the attribute bubbles merged into w.a.n.g Teng’s body, entering his mind and turning into numerous insights, rapidly advancing his proficiency in mining.
“Mining Skill!” w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes gleamed as he looked at the attributes board.
Mining Engineer: 8200/10000 (Master)
“Well, I didn’t expect to reach the pinnacle of master level so quickly.” w.a.n.g Teng felt quite pleased.
His proficiency in mining was not particularly high among masters, but now, just by coming to this second-floor hall, he had gained so many attribute points, which was truly a cause for celebration.
Although reaching the pinnacle of master level in mining required a total of 10,000 attribute points, equivalent to the requirements for grandmaster level in secondary professions such as alchemy, forging, and rune crafting, it was relatively easier to advance in mining compared to those professions. Otherwise, w.a.n.g Teng wouldn’t know when he would reach that level.
“It’s a pity I don’t know if there are any grandmasters here. If there are, I should be able to advance to the grandmaster level today.” w.a.n.g Teng pondered, scanning the surroundings, and finally his gaze fell on Gu Luo. If there was no other choice, there was still him.
“Gu Luo, I’ll be watching your performance later.”
w.a.n.g Teng looked at him with an encouraging smile.
Gu Luo felt something was odd but couldn’t quite put his finger on it. He could only smile and nod. “Sure, sure.”
“We’ve just set our sights on a piece of ore. How about we go take a look together?” Grandmaster Hua Yuan suddenly spoke up.
“Oh?” w.a.n.g Teng was surprised. “You’ve found an ore you’re interested in? Then I must take a look”
“We’re not quite sure about it ourselves. That’s why we need your expertise. It’s quite a coincidence that you’re here.” Grandmaster Hua Yuan chuckled.
“I remember Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng once found extraordinary items like the Lightning Essence Insect in the Great Qian Empire. I suppose your mining proficiency is quite impressive?” Grandmaster Harol asked.
“It’s pa.s.sable.” w.a.n.g Teng smiled faintly.
“Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng has some knowledge in mining as well!” exclaimed Grandmaster Luo Tang in astonishment.
“Just a little dabbling, just a little dabbling,” w.a.n.g Teng replied modestly. “Lightning Essence Insect!” A glint of surprise flashed in Gu Luo’s eyes as he spoke. “I didn’t expect Brother w.a.n.g Teng to have such a mining record. No wonder you’re so confident.”
“Perhaps not as confident as Brother Gu Luo,” w.a.n.g Teng chuckled.
Gu Luo remained noncommittal. He was already wary of w.a.n.g Teng at this moment and wouldn’t be as careless as he was during the last Void Fis.h.i.+ng compet.i.tion.
Being able to uncover extraordinary items like the Lightning Essence Insect showed that w.a.n.g Teng was no ordinary miner. It made their agreement to compete even more intriguing.
However, Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng still believed in his abilities. With his mining proficiency already at the grandmaster level, he had previously unearthed treasures even more valuable than the Lightning Essence Insect. He didn’t think he was any less capable than w.a.n.g Teng.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know that during his time on the Five Burial Stars, w.a.n.g Teng had uncovered treasures even more valuable than the Lightning Essence Insect. The Lightning Essence Insect was already a thing of the past.
At this moment, Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others led w.a.n.g Teng to a piece of ore and conveyed through voice transmission.
“This is the piece of ore!”
w.a.n.g Teng nodded and turned his gaze to the ore before him.
This piece of ore was about four to five meters long and quite flat, resembling a long bench.
Instead of immediately activating his Real Eye, w.a.n.g Teng first used his mining engineer proficiency to a.s.sess the ore.
His proficiency had just been significantly boosted, and there were many experiences and pieces of knowledge waiting to be verified in his mind. He intended to test his skills.
Gu Luo also observed the ore with great interest, stroking his chin and circling it twice.
For some reason, he just wanted to win against w.a.n.g Teng this time, so he sought to compare himself with him in every aspect.
At this moment, w.a.n.g Teng’s gaze fell on Gu Luo’s side, and a faint smile curved his lips.
Dropped! They dropped!
Sure enough, attribute bubbles were dropping next to Gu Luo!
He immediately picked up the two attribute bubbles that had fallen.
Mining Skill*i200
Mining Skill*8oo
Mining Engineer: 200/30000 (grandmaster)
“Hahaha…” w.a.n.g Teng couldn’t help but burst into laughter as he saw the changes on the attributes board.
In an instant, he felt the experience and knowledge about mining in his mind rapidly expanding, crossing a threshold, and suddenly everything became clear, entering a whole new realm.
Grandmaster!
His proficiency in mining had finally reached the grandmaster level.
Although he had expected it earlier, he didn’t antic.i.p.ate it would come so quickly.
And when he truly reached this level, he couldn’t contain the joy in his heart, the curve of his lips rising even more ecstatically.
Gu Luo truly lived up to being a grandmaster-level miner. Just by exerting a bit of effort, he dropped so many attribute bubbles that were useful to w.a.n.g Teng. “w.a.n.g Teng, have you figured anything out?” After a moment, Gu Luo approached w.a.n.g Teng with a smile.
“I’ve figured out a little bit. Brother Gu Luo must have some insights as well,” w.a.n.g Teng glanced at him and replied with a smile, feeling extremely pleased.
“Yes,” Gu Luo nodded, smiling. “Before our compet.i.tion officially begins, how about we warm up a bit?”
“How do we warm up?” w.a.n.g Teng asked.
“Let’s each a.s.sess the value of this ore and see who’s more accurate, shall we?” Gu Luo suggested.
“Please,” w.a.n.g Teng made a gesture of invitation.
Gu Luo smiled. He knew that w.a.n.g Teng had agreed so he said excitedly, “Based on my judgment, this ore is worth 200 Chaos Coins.”
Naturally, he conveyed this message to w.a.n.g Teng and the others through voice transmission, as outsiders couldn’t hear.
“200 Chaos Coins!” Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others were astounded.
This price wasn’t low.
Although there were undoubtedly many treasures on the second floor, not every item held such value. Moreover, those who could come here were all exceptional individuals with extraordinary discernment. It wasn’t so easy to pick out treasures from their hands.
“Is this the price Brother Gu Luo has set?” w.a.n.g Teng asked.
Gu Luo raised an eyebrow, unsure if w.a.n.g Teng was trying to deceive him. He thought for a moment and nodded with a smile, “Of course.”
“Very well,” w.a.n.g Teng smiled and said, “In that case, I’ll set the price.”
“Please speak your mind, Brother w.a.n.g Teng,” Gu Luo said.
“This piece of ore is worth at most ten billion Universal Coins,” w.a.n.g Teng declared.
“Ten billion… UC?!” Everyone was shocked. They stared at w.a.n.g Teng in disbelief.
The price difference was huge!
