"Third Elder, there's nothing wrong with the Luck Tear. I contacted you because someone wants to buy it."
Clara bowed at the elder's hologram projection.
The elder exclaimed in surprise, "Someone wants to buy the Luck Tear!"
"Yes, Earl Wang is interested." The manager adjusted the screen so that the Third Elder could see Wang Teng.
"Earl Wang!" The senior was surprised. The video feed confirmed the familiar image in his mind.
The young overlord got up and bowed. "Third Elder, nice to meet you!"
He carefully sized up the elder.
The latter was standing on a desolate land, with an endless gray sky behind him. It was unclear where he was.
It was a tall and lean fellow, with long gray hair cascading down his back, which floated in the wind. His gaze was deep and sharp.
There was a faint, yet powerful aura floating around him, seemingly capable of permeating through the projection.
An eternal stage warrior!
That was an eternal stage martial warrior!
"Earl Wang, I've heard many things about you." The Third Elder nodded.
The two exchanged some pleasantries before Clara said, "Third Elder, Earl Wang is interested in buying the Luck Tear. He's hoping you would set a price for it."
"It looks like Earl Wang will soon become the stone's owner. There's no such coincidences in the world." The senior smiled.
"Third Elder, you're too polite. The Luck Tear is extremely rare and precious. It would be awkward if I can't afford it," said the young hero with a smile of his own.
"Haha, Earl Wang surely likes to jest." The expert laughed. Then, he contemplated for a bit and said, "I can sell you this Luck Tear for three trillion."
"Three trillion!" Wang Teng frowned.

Such a stone was definitely worth more than that.
The price for a Luck Tear had always exceeded ten quadrillion UC in past exchanges. Furthermore, having the money was not a guarantee to get one due to its scarcity.
Those who owned them would often demand a trade—goods for goods, or have other special requirements.
All in all, anyone who could afford the Luck Tear was definitely someone extraordinary. There was more to gain from them than just UC.
"It looks like he has other requests," Round Ball said.
"Third Elder, you must have another request," said the hero indifferently.
"Earl Wang is indeed smart. At first, we were planning on offering the stone to eternal stage customers. However, if Earl Wang wants it, we can oblige. We just hope you can promise to return three favors to the Mobang family," said the Third Elder.
"Three favors!" Wang Teng was in a dilemma.
The hardest thing to return was favors.
Furthermore, they would be favors for the powerful Mobang family.
Based on their original plans, they wanted to sell the stone to a mighty powerhouse and gain favors from the latter.
Since he appeared, he would be the one granting those favors.
The other party did hold him in high esteem…
"Third Elder, do you think my favors are comparable to those of an eternal stage warrior?" the young hero asked with a smile.
"It might not be the case at the moment, but it will be so in the future. They might even be worth more than that," said the senior.
He was gambling, betting on the hero surpassing the eternal stage in the future.
This expert wasn't the only one who had high hopes for the hero to rise. Many other factions valued him greatly, feeling that he would be even stronger.

Even if they didn't, they would be formidable eternal stage characters. Normal experts of the same level couldn't be compared to them.
Wang Teng pondered for some time, but didn't agree. "Three favors is too much."
Now was the time for the elder to be stunned. I asked for three favors because of his potential but he said it's too much?!
Isn't he a little too confident?
The Third Elder elder frowned. He felt that the young fellow wasn't being appreciative of his kindness. If it were someone else, he would have taken offense and gotten angry.
The Mobangs didn't lack favors from eternal stage warriors. If the young earl wanted to wait and see, they would rather not make a deal with him.
They did hold the young man in high regard, but that didn't mean they had to befriend him.
They had formed many ties with other talents.
"Third Elder, calm down." Wang Teng smiled. "How much do you know about me?"
"Oh? Is there something we don't know about Earl Wang?" the senior asked.
The young hero didn't keep the other in suspense. "I'm a triple-field grandmaster. Did you know this?"
"A triple-field grandmaster!" The Third Elder was shocked.
Even Clara widened her eyes in shock.
"Is this true?" the expert asked.
"This is my identification from the Secondary Career Alliance." The hero opened the alliance's internal website and showed them his credentials.
"Gasp…" the sound came from beside him. Clara stared at him, truly bewildered.
She didn't understand how someone could be so monstrous.
