Chapter 1428 - 1428 Boss, Do You Need A Sidekick? I Can Cheer For You.
1428 Boss, Do You Need A Sidekick? I Can Cheer For You.
Wang Teng was still thinking about the universe explorers as he walked out of the cave. The information Round Ball had found appeared in his mind.
Once he reviewed the data, he had a better understanding of those adventurers by the time he returned to the main Light Velvet tribe grounds.
He felt emotional.
Universe explorers rarely had good endings.
The paths they chose to tread were filled with all kinds of unknown dangers that could make them fall into desperate situations. Many of them would die silent deaths in some unknown corners of the universe, buried away from home.
Diaries left behind worked as the best proof of their existence.
That was the reason why they picked up the habit of journaling.
It would serve as a means to record their experiences, leaving a trail for those who wanted to follow their footsteps.
Varian was able to find planet Light Velvet thanks to the diary left by his ancestors.
Some of the explorers didn’t sire descendants or their diaries would be sealed in the end, so no one knew about the mysterious and dangerous places they had been to.
There weren’t many adventurers like them, which was another reason why only a few people knew about them.
Wang Teng glanced at the spacecraft outside the cave and had a sudden thought. He asked Round Ball to hack into the ship’s system.
A few seconds later, Round Ball said grimly, “Wang Teng, you’re right. There’s a tracking device on this spacecraft.”
Wang Teng frowned and asked, “Is it always on?”
“Yes,” Round Ball replied.
“Looks like the whole mercenary team knows the planet’s location.” Wang Teng sighed.
Ren Gulan wasn’t lying. She merely wasn’t aware of the tracking beacon in the spacecraft.
Her brother installed it in secret to ensure her safety.
Ren Gulan didn’t like being controlled; the tracker’s existence had to be hidden from her.
The thing had already proven its usefulness.
She could have died on that planet and no one would know.
Wang Teng had yet to decide what to do with them, but he would kill the whole lot if they were useless.
He immediately went back to the main tribe.
“How is it?” The grand elder approached the young man in a hurry upon noticing his arrival.
“Grand elder, gather everyone. Call Ferya too; let’s have a proper discussion,” said Wang Teng in a grim tone, shaking his head.
“All right!” The grand elder felt anxious. He was quick to node when he noticed the latter’s expression.
Wang Teng, Ferya and the chiefs gathered in the grand elder’s wooden house shortly after.
All eyes were on the young hero, wondering why they were summoned.
“Cough.” Wang Teng cleared his throat and announced the shocking news, “Everyone, the planet’s location has already been exposed.”
All the natives immediately tensed up with the revelation; none of them looked well.
It finally happened.
They had been thinking about that problem for a long time, but now, it was finally time to face the music.
Ferya glanced at Wang Teng, already knowing what he would say.
“The prisoners belong to a mercenary group called the Black Leaf Mercenary Team. Although captured, their ship has a tracking device. I’m afraid the rest of their team has already learned about the planet’s location,” the young man explained.
“The Black Leaf Mercenary Team,” Ferya frowned and said coldly, “Why don’t we just kill them?”
Wang Teng looked at her.
What a violent woman. She likes playing rough.
However, that was to his liking.
Ferya was unaware that her former rival thought of her as a violent woman.
The grand elder understood and shook his head with a wry smile. “If there’s a Black Leaf Mercenary Team now, there will be a White Leaf and a Green Leaf team coming in the future. We can’t kill them all.”
Wang Teng nodded and asked, “That’s why I wanted to ask… what are your plans?”
It was better for the furry people to voice their ideas instead of him bringing it up. Otherwise, it would mean a completely different thing.
Whether they could work together or not would depend on the light velvet race’s will. He didn’t want to force anything, either.
The grand elder took a deep breath and spoke without hesitation, “I discussed this previously with Veblen. He told me that the best way was to find someone powerful and of high status, and to register the planet under his name. That way, claiming the planet will end up as wishful thinking for any newcomer.”
Wang Teng and Ferya nodded. That was something they had thought of as well.
Ferya glanced at Wang Teng and said, “Grand elder, do you have someone in mind? If not, I can convince my grandfather and have him register the planet. No one would dare set their eyes on the planet with his name vouching for it.”
Wang Teng narrowed his eyes a bit. This violent lass thought about the same thing.
Planet Light Velvet had countless spiritual items of the light element. Even if they weren’t of high level, it was still worth a fortune.
That would be especially useful for light element warriors.
Being a light element user herself, how could she pass up the chance?
“Your grandfather?” The grand elder was stunned. A figure appeared in his mind, but it was blurred after so many years. “I haven’t seen him in a very long time.”
“If you wish, I can contact him immediately.” Ferya smiled.
It seemed that the grand elder and her grandfather had a good relationship.
“No need.” The old man shook his head and said, “At first I considered asking him for help, but I’m afraid that a person like him would never want to get involved in such things. Otherwise, he would have registered the planet under his name back then.”
Ferya was stunned.
“Besides, to get an eternal warrior to personally register the planet… don’t you think it’s too much of a fuss?”
The grand elder smiled bitterly and continued, “That’s why I gave up on the idea. Now, I have a better candidate.”
He said, looking at Wang Teng.
Wang Teng was surprised. Was I chosen?
This came as a surprise. The grand elder seemed to have made the decision after careful thought, choosing the young human from the beginning.
Does he trust me that much?
Wait, the grand elder said that Ferya’s grandfather is an eternal stage martial warrior?
He looked at Ferya in surprise, secretly clicking his tongue. That rough woman actually had such a background.
No wonder she was powerful at such a young age!
No wonder she used advanced-rank techniques superior to the universe stage.
An average person wouldn’t have that.
Ferya was gloomy, giving the elder a wry smile. Her grandfather’s temperament really made people…
Forget it. It doesn’t matter. She didn’t expect that her grandfather would lose to Wang Teng because of his character.
However, the one ultimately interested in snatching the planet was Ferya, not her grandfather.
Those who reached the eternal stage would probably be disinterested in a planet of that kind.
However, judging by the grand elder’s words, he seemed to prefer the young human.
Does this guy have a special identity?
“Wang Teng, you’re the benefactor of our race, and you have our trust. Veblen also told me that you have a special status; this might be able to help us,” said the old native slowly.
Wang Teng was startled. He didn’t think that Veblen would tell the grand elder about him in such detail.
But, just as well. He didn’t need to say anything else.
“I do have a bit of status in the Great Qian Empire.” Wang Teng nodded.
“The Great Qian Empire!” A trace of surprise flashed across Ferya’s eyes. This guy comes from the Great Qian Empire.
A high-tier civilization!
No matter the place, high-tier civilizations were massive; it was advisable not to provoke them.
Even if they were compared to their clan, the Great Qian Empire wouldn’t be much weaker.
“However, I’m nothing much when compared to Ferya’s grandfather.” Wang Teng shook his head.
He knew where he stood. Although very confident at first, he learned that the girl’s grandfather was an eternal stage warrior; someone he couldn’t compare to.
Wang Teng had indeed earned the National Military Medal and the support of the military, he was only a lesser baron from the Great Qian Empire, one with a lot of enemies.
The difference in terms of strength was excessive.
An eternal stage warrior was powerful enough to change fate itself.
What could he do about it?
Ferya looked at Wang Teng in surprise. Is he giving up?
“You don’t have to belittle yourself. I heard Veblen say that you’re a baron of the Great Qian Empire and that you also come from the military. That’s enough to protect our planet,” said the grand elder in a hurry.
“A baron from the Great Qian Empire, with a military background.” Ferya wasn’t looking down on Wang Teng; her surprise grew even more.
He was too young; it was basically impossible for an ordinary person to achieve all that with such a young age.
Furthermore, that was a high-tier civilization, not one of the low rungs.
Wang Teng was among the top one percent.
Moreover, the young human was very strong, and even more so than her.
Although unwilling to admit it, it was a fact that made her feel powerless.
She was considered a prodigy of her race, someone with considerable strength because of her grandfather’s training.
As for Wang Teng, his status was definitely inferior to hers, but he definitely wasn’t a simple person if he had such powerful strength.
“Wang Teng, you’re not the heir of an eternal stage warrior, right?” Ferya suddenly thought of something and sized him up. She tried to get an answer out of him.
Several black lines hung down from the young man’s forehead. He looked at her, feeling at a loss. “The planet I was originally from wasn’t even as powerful as planet Light Velvet. Climbing up to this point was just a coincidence that I got to where I am today. I’m just an ordinary person.”
“What?” Ferya couldn’t believe her ears. She was compelled to ask, “You came from an underdeveloped planet?”
“Is there a problem?” Wang Teng replied.
Ferya took a deep breath and looked at Wang Teng as if he were a weirdo.
A martial warrior from an underdeveloped planet actually reached my level at such a young age?
Ordinary person?
Wang Teng called himself an ordinary person?
Ferya felt that the young human misunderstood what an ordinary person was.
Her gaze changed completely.
She had only heard about such things in legends.
“The people that grandfather mentioned… really exist,” Ferya murmured to herself.
“What did you say?” Wang Teng glanced at her.
“Nothing.” Ferya looked back with a face etched with troubled emotions; she couldn’t calm herself down. This young man is really amazing. She couldn’t help but feel a little admiration in her heart. “Boss, do you need a sidekick? I can cheer for you.”
Wang Teng: ???
Is this violent woman going crazy?
“I’m joking, I’m joking,” Ferya waved a hand and said, “The grand elder is right. Your status is enough to deter people. Being the planet’s master would be acceptable.”
“How about this? We can share ownership of planet Light Velvet.” Wang Teng suggested.
“A joint ownership!” Ferya was taken aback and her eyes lit up. “That’s a great idea. This way my grandfather won’t have to do it personally. With our statuses, our alliance would be beneficial, without any downsides.However, planet Light Velvet Planet can’t be registered within the Great Qian Empire’s territory.”
“You’re not from the Great Qian Empire?” Wang Teng was surprised.
“Of course not.” Ferya glanced at him.
Wang Teng frowned and asked, “What should we do then?”
“We can register it in the Pan-Cosmic Alliance,” Ferya replied.
“The Pan-Cosmic Alliance?!” Wang Teng was stunned. The foreign name confused him a little.
Round Ball explained, “It’s a huge alliance comprised of various independent forces and families. It’s not complete, but it looks whole. You can think of it as a semi-loose alliance.”
