"w.a.n.g Teng, your required materials have been checked, and we only have about half of them available here," Rugina, looking a bit shocked, reported from behind the counter.
Such a situation had never occurred before. The Smithery Volcano couldn't provide all the necessary materials, and nearly half were unavailable.
"Only half?" w.a.n.g Teng frowned, sighing inwardly. He asked, "How many points do I need to exchange for these materials?"
"It will require 1.39 million points," Rugina replied.
"Alright, I'll exchange them," w.a.n.g Teng said without much hesitation.
"Just like that?!" Rugina stared at him, amazed.
That was more than a million points. Even universe-stage martial warriors wouldn't be so wealthy.
"Otherwise, should I leave empty-handed after coming all this way?" w.a.n.g Teng said casually. "Hurry up."
"Alright, alright!" Rugina nodded hurriedly. However, she hesitated for a moment. What if w.a.n.g Teng didn't have enough points? After all, gathering so many materials was no joking matter.
w.a.n.g Teng noticed her hesitation and asked with a smile, "Do you want to verify if I have enough points?"
"No need. I believe you wouldn't bluff me," Rugina shook her head immediately. She didn't want to offend him by questioning his points.
"Rugina, you underestimated w.a.n.g Teng. He set a record on the Freshmen Leaderboard, and the academy directly rewarded him with a million points. He can afford these 1.29 million points," Wu Shen said, smiling.
Rugina suddenly realized, her eyes sparkling. She nodded and quickly turned to help w.a.n.g Teng with the exchange procedure.
She mustn't let go of this big client.
Other staff around were almost turning red with envy.
They couldn't believe such a good opportunity wasn't theirs.
Shortly after, a staff member hurriedly arrived and handed a s.p.a.ce equipment to Rugina.
Rugina nodded and quickly walked over to w.a.n.g Teng. She said, "w.a.n.g Teng, all the materials you need are in here. Please check if you need to count them."
"Sure!" w.a.n.g Teng nodded, letting Round Ball help with the inventory while he followed Rugina to pay the points.
A total of 1.39 million points were swiped away. w.a.n.g Teng felt a bit reluctant. After purchasing these materials, he was left with only 2.34 million points.
Points were indeed not easy to come by!
"Are you feeling heartache for spending all the points?" Wu Shen teased upon seeing w.a.n.g Teng's expression.
"A bit." w.a.n.g Teng admitted with a sigh.
"But your generosity is impressive. Spending 1.39 million points for less than half the materials, and there's probably even more needed for the remaining half. I see some main materials are still missing," Wu Shen remarked.
w.a.n.g Teng winced. "Senior, didn't you say everything is available here?"
Wu Shen's expression froze. He felt that he was slapped in the face.
He hadn't expected w.a.n.g Teng's required materials to be so specialized. They were not common forging materials.
"The rest of the materials may be available, and if Junior w.a.n.g Teng needs them, we can exchange contact information. I will notify you as soon as there's any news," Rugina suggested, eagerly looking at w.a.n.g Teng.
A good customer like him should be developed into a long-term client, especially considering his exceptional talent.
w.a.n.g Teng agreed and exchanged contact information with Rugina. After finis.h.i.+ng the transaction, he left.
"Come back anytime, and if you need anything, just let me know," Wu Shen said.
"Thanks, Senior," w.a.n.g Teng smiled faintly. Despite the senior's excessive enthusiasm, he seemed like a decent person.
The two of them exchanged contacts.
After exchanging contact information, w.a.n.g Teng and Wu Shen parted ways. As w.a.n.g Teng was about to board the s.p.a.cecraft to leave, Round Ball opened a message. "w.a.n.g Teng, the Academy Arbitration Committee sent a message."
"Academy Arbitration a.s.sociation." w.a.n.g Teng was briefly surprised, and as he quickly read the message, a somewhat ambiguous smile appeared on his face. "Did they notify me to partic.i.p.ate in the a.s.sociate council member promotion a.s.sessment?"
"Do they not know that I have already rejected this a.s.sociate council member position?"
"Or are they a.s.suming I'll go?"
