Chapter 2536: Fooled! Astonishment! Bootlicker! The Tai Family! (3)

Editor: Henyee Translations

Under the master’s skillful hands, the ore was split into several pieces, scattered on the ground like shattered dreams.

Only a few source stones emitted a faint glow inside the ore, their brilliance akin to that of sixth-grade energy stones.

Among the onlookers were seasoned prospectors who, with a glance, discerned the value of these source stones, confirming Wang Teng’s speculations.

Gu Luo’s pupils constricted in disbelief, turning to Wang Teng with a mix of astonishment and suspicion.

How could he have predicted this?

What is this?

With his grandmaster-level mining mastery, mistakes were rare. Yet, fate had dealt him an unexpected blow today.

Normally, a mistake would be inconsequential, merely resulting in a loss of some funds, which he could easily afford.

But today, in front of Wang Teng, before their agreed-upon contest had even begun, he found himself at a disadvantage, a blow to his pride that he found difficult to swallow.

Losing money was trivial. Losing face was not.

Could this fellow truly be his nemesis?

“Brother Gu Luo, thank you for letting me win!” Wang Teng smiled.

“How did you know this ore would be a gamble? Did you see something 1 didn’t? No, judging by its outward appearance, this ore should have been a sure bet to rise in value. And your guess was too accurate, almost hitting the mark of to billion UC.” Gu Luo’s gaze fixed strangely on Wang Teng as he spoke with a solemn tone.

“I just took a wild guess,” Wang Teng replied with a casual shrug, observing Gu Luo’s bewildered expression with a faint smile.

“I don’t believe you for a second,” Gu Luo retorted, rolling his eyes in frustration. He couldn’t shake the feeling that Wang Teng was deliberately keeping something from him.

Wang Teng was becoming increasingly inscrutable to him.

“It’s fortunate that Grandmaster Wang Teng is here. If not, we would have suffered a huge loss.” Grandmaster Hua Yuan exclaimed, still visibly shaken, a tinge of relief coloring his words.

“Yes, who would have thought that something so promising would yield so little,” Grandmaster Mo De shook his head in disbelief.

“Calling it ten billion UC, and it indeed fetches ten billion. Grandmaster Wang Teng is truly extraordinary!” Grandmaster Harol sighed.

Each person in the group expressed their admiration for Wang Teng’s expertise in prospecting, reaching the pinnacle of praise.

Such an ability was simply too formidable.

They had encountered many mining engineers before, but none possessed Wang Teng’s level of precise estimation. His abilities were truly remarkable.

“I was lucky.” Wang Teng smiled.”It’s just luck!” Wang Teng replied with a faint smile.

In truth, if he hadn’t used the Real Eye to take a glance, he might have been as clueless as Gu Luo about the true nature of this ore.

Gu Luo’s current expertise in mining surpassed his own. If even Gu Luo couldn’t discern it, how could he?

He had to admit, the ores on the second floor were hard to assess. Each piece had likely been appraised by master prospectors, and deemed acceptable for the second floor. This indicated that these ores were difficult to discern from their external appearance alone. Hence, it was even more challenging for others to detect any clues.

This was akin to undergoing a rigorous screening process!

While the likelihood of a bad gamble was significantly reduced, so too was the chance for outsiders to discern any clues.

Le Yan couldn’t help but cast a curious glance at Wang Teng.

Could this person also excel in mining?

He was a three-field grandmaster, a martial arts genius, and now, he had a mining mastery. This was interesting.

Le Tun furrowed his brows, glancing at the ore, then at Wang Teng, his thoughts veiled.

“Little brother Wang Teng is so amazing!” Yu Xiangxiang’s eyes sparkled with admiration at the scene before her, her admiration for Wang Teng growing even more.

“Wang Teng, you dare to cheat me!” Ti Du’s expression darkened. Now fully recovered from his shock, he glared at Wang Teng, his voice filled with anger.

“Don’t go blaming me every time something goes wrong. Before the ore was extracted, nobody knew if it would rise or fall. You insisted on competing with me, so you have no one to blame but yourself,” Wang Teng retorted leisurely.

Ti Du’s face alternated between shades of green and white, rendered speechless by his anger. He glared at Wang Teng’s face, his fists itching to strike.

Fortunately, he knew he was no match for Wang Teng and refrained from violence.

Moreover, he was aware of his own culpability, unable to muster a rebuttal.

“You’ve been scheming against us from the start,” Ti Jing’s expression finally darkened, his voice cold as he spoke to Wang Teng.

Even with his temperament, being duped by Wang Teng ignited a fiery rage within him.

Moments ago, when he had purchased this ore for 80 billion universal coins, he wasn’t this furious. After all, there was still a chance to unearth a treasure. But now, with the revealed value of the treasure only worth ten billion universal coins, they had effectively lost 70 billion universal coins. Who could tolerate such a loss?

Their composure was on the verge of collapse!

“Who was it that said being too clever can sometimes backfire?” Wang Teng tapped his ear, turning to face Ti Jing with a faint smile. “Was it you?”

Ti Jing’s facial muscles twitched involuntarily, speechless. Indeed, they had been too clever for their own good. But now, dwelling on such matters was futile. He cast a deep glance at Wang Teng and remarked, “It seems you’ve made up your mind to cross paths with my Ti family.”

“The Ti family?” Wang Teng’s expression didn’t change. He said calmly, “Is the Ti family very powerful?”

Le Yan glanced at Wang Teng. This fellow’s confidence was astonishing. He didn’t even regard the Ti family with any respect. Perhaps he was a genius from some influential faction, completely unafraid of the Ti family’s influence.

“Very well! Excellent!” Ti Jing sneered, saying, “If you have the guts, dare to compete with me once?”

“Compete in what?” Wang Teng asked curiously..
