Chapter 2537: Fooled! Astonishment! Bootlicker! The Tai Family! (4)

Editor: Henyee Translations

Lets compete in ore prospecting to see whose extracted ore holds greater value, Ti Jingsaid icily.

You want to compete with me too? Wang Teng glanced at Gu Luo, his expression peculiar.

What was going on? Why did everyone who encountered him want to gamble on prospecting with him?

Come to think of it, ever since he became a prospector, he seemed to have encountered such situations several times.

Could it be that he possessed some strange aura that compelled others to gamble with him whenever they met him?

And these two brothers from the Ti family werent satisfied with just one loss. Having been duped by him once already, they dared to challenge him again in a prospecting gamble. Truly admirable!

I dont mind, Gu Luos eyes sparkled briefly as he smiled faintly.

These two individuals from the Ti family werent worth his attention. A couple more people wouldnt affect anything.

Ti Jing glanced at Gu Luo without much concern and continued, Since its a prospecting gamble, there must be a wager.

What kind of wager? Wang Teng asked.

Its simple. The ultimate winner gets to claim the ore extracted by the others, Ti Jing replied.

If the outcome is like this time, where the ore turns out to be of low value, then the wager would be meaningless, Wang Teng shook his head.

Ti Jings face twitched. Then what do you propose?

The wager will be based on the value of the ore extracted by the winner. The loser must provide an item of equivalent value. Do you... dare? Wang Teng asked with a cheerful smile.

Ti Jing hesitated under Wang Tengs calm gaze. This kid seemed too confident.

If you dont dare, then forget it, Wang Teng said.

Who wouldnt dare? Are we supposed to be afraid of you? Thats a joke, Ti Du interjected bluntly. But since were not prospectors ourselves, we need to find one to assist us.

Of course, if you need a prospectors assistance, you can find one yourself. We wont stand in your way.

Ti Jings eyes gleamed with approval as he looked at Tai Du. Finally, his foolish younger brother had done something right.

With the Ti familys influence, finding a skilled prospector to assist them was an easy task.

In this regard, they had an absolute advantage.

Then let it be so. But unlike certain wastrels, I dont need to rely on anyones help to find my ore, Wang Teng said nonchalantly.

Hmph, spare me your words. If you lose, lets see how smug youll be then, Ti Du snorted.

Gu Luo, my friend, someone seems eager to hand me their money. Quite strange, isnt it? Wang Teng chuckled.

Thats good news indeed, Gu Luo concurred with a smile. But if they were to hire a saint-level mining engineer, you wouldnt stand a chance.

If they truly have the gall to hire a saint-level mining engineer in front of all these people, then Ill have nothing to say, Wang Teng replied.

Hmph, we wont take advantage of you. If were hiring someone, lets set a standard. Only grandmaster-level mining engineers are allowed. Thats fair enough, isnt it? Ti Jing and Ti Du exchanged a glance, snorting lightly.

Suit yourselves. Hurry up and find someone. Dont waste my time, Wang Teng said impatiently.

Ive already notified the person. Theyll be here shortly, Ti Du sneered. Get ready to lose.

It seems youve come prepared, WangTeng remarked meaningfully, looking at them with an indifferent expression.

Since everyones in the mood, why not include us? Le Yan spoke up with a smile.

Miss Le Yan wants to join in as well? Ti Jing immediately flashed what he considered a charming smile.

Why not? Le Yan retorted.

Of course! Of course! If Miss Le Yan wishes to play, well gladly oblige, Ti Jings heart swelled with delight. This was a golden opportunity. Once he won against Le Yan later, he could naturally waive the wager, demonstrating his generosity and hopefully earning her favor in return.

Le Yan paid no heed to Tai Kyos thoughts, her gaze fixed on Wang Teng.

I have no objections, Wang Teng said casually.

Wang Teng, this wager isnt what I wanted. I just want to ask, is our previous agreement still valid? Gu Luo inquired.

They bet on their terms, and we bet on ours, Wang Teng replied.

Thats good. Gu Luo nodded.

What are your stakes? Le Yan asked curiously.

A request. Gu Luo smiled.

How about we turn our wager into a request as well? Le Yans eyes lit up.

This... Wang Teng was a bit speechless. What did this girl have to do with his bet with Gu Luo?

Brother Wang Teng, are you afraid to agree to a request from a young lady?

Le Yans gaze was intense as she laughed behind her hand.

You dont need to provoke me. Theres no harm in agreeing, but Im afraid you cant handle losing, Wang Teng replied calmly.

Dont worry, with so many people watching, Ill keep my promise. But you cant make unreasonable requests, Le Yan said with a smile.

What constitutes unreasonable, though? Wang Teng scanned Le Yans figure and asked with a smile.

What do you think? Le Yan rolled her eyes beautifully, her tone somewhat exasperated.

WangTeng chuckled.

Brother Wang Teng, this beauty is quite interested in you. Gu Luo nudged Wang Teng and chuckled as he whispered, But if it werent for me bringing up this wager, you wouldnt have had such a good opportunity. How do you plan to thank me?

Youre quite something, always finding trouble for me, Wang Teng glared at Gu Luo. He knew perfectly well why Le Yan was here-it wasnt because she was enamored with his looks.

Miss Le Yan, how about we change our stakes to a condition as well? Using treasures as stakes can be quite hurtful, Ti Jing suggested in a fawning tone.

No need for that. Since you prefer using treasures as stakes, lets stick with that. My family can afford it, Le Yan said lightly.

Ti Jings expression stiffened, feeling utterly embarrassed. All... ahem, then lets keep the original stakes. We were just playing around anyway, Miss Le Yan, theres no need to take it seriously.

Thats not how it works. If were going to play, we should play seriously.

Otherwise, its no fun, Le Yan countered, unyielding.

Wang Teng suppressed a smile, seeing through Ti Jings attempt to curry favor, but Le Yan ignored him.

As they spoke, a figure approached from the distance.

Brother Tai Lu! Ti Jings eyes lit up. He immediately went forward.

Brother Ti Jing! The newcomer was a handsome young man with long brown hair. Upon seeing Ti Jing, he greeted him with a fist bump and a smile. What brings you to me today?

I ve come to find Brother Tai Lu naturally for prospecting matters, Ti Jing explained the situation and assured him, As long as Brother Tai Lu can help me win this prospecting competition, Ill surely offer a reward that satisfies you.

Tai Lu! Le Yan was somewhat surprised, whispering, I didnt expect Ti Jing to bring someone from the Tai family.

Do you know him? Wang Teng asked.

The prodigy of the Tai family, achieving grandmaster level at such a young age. His reputation precedes him. How could I not know him? Le Yan replied.

Is the Tai family also one of the core families of the Secondary Career Alliance headquarters? Wang Teng inquired.

Yes, they are a family of prospectors, with many outstanding members. Their influence is considerable, even our Le family must treat them with caution, Le Yan explained.

A family of prospectors! Another grandmaster-level mining engineer, just what I needed, Wang Tengs eyes sparkled with amusement. And what about you? Who did you find?

Hes already here, Le Yan said, looking towards the other side with a smile.
