Chapter 987: It’s Time To Teach Him A Lesson

Wang Teng was speechless.

Even Cao Jiaojiao couldn’t bear to look at him. This was embarrassing.

Wang Teng said contemptuously, “Look at how timid you are. If I were Cao Hongtu, I would pin you to the wall.”

“Pfft!”

The onlookers burst out laughing. They couldn’t bear it anymore.

How ruthless!

This young man’s mouth was like a sharp sword.

An Lan laughed and stared at Cao Guan strangely.

“You!” Cao Guan finally reacted after some time. His face turned red, and he fumed in anger.

A tinge of red appeared on Cao Jiaojiao’s face as her heart sank. She cursed Wang Teng silently for his shamelessness. How could he say this?

The corners of Andrais’s lips trembled. He found Cao Guan embarrassing, so he stood up and scoffed. “Cut the bullshit. Are you betting or not?”

“Of course. Since you want to lose money, I don’t mind accompanying you.” Wang Teng nodded calmly.

“You’re thinking too much. Why would I lose money?” Andrais pointed to an elder beside him and sneered. “This is an advanced-stage mining engineer. Do you think I’ll lose with him around?”

“Advanced-stage mining engineer!”

An Lan was stunned. His expression turned distorted.

“You have an advanced-stage mining engineer. This is unfair.”

“Unfair? Who doesn’t have a mining engineer to help them when they want to rock gamble? You can find one if you can. I won’t stop you,” Andrais replied.

“That’s right, you can find a mining engineer too.” Cao Guan was secretly gloating. He could almost imagine Wang Teng losing all his assets.

His hatred towards Wang Teng had reached its peak. He was humiliated by him multiple times, but he couldn’t take revenge. He had to rely on Andrais.

Cao Jiaojiao shook her head and glanced at the ordinary-looking elder in surprise. She didn’t expect him to be an advanced-stage mining engineer!

With him around, Wang Teng had no chance of winning.

“Are you playing? If you are, please lead the way. If you’re not, I’m leaving.” Wang Teng said impatiently. He didn’t even glance at the advanced-stage mining engineer.

“Young man, you’re very confident.” The advanced-stage mining engineer snorted.

“Alright, follow me.” Andrais was afraid that Wang Teng would run away, so he immediately led the way.

Wang Teng continued to disregard the advanced-stage mining engineer and followed Andrais.

An Lan caught up with him and asked using voice transmission, “Wang Teng, that’s an advanced-stage mining engineer. Are you confident? If you’re not, we can leave. It’s not shameful.”

“Why? Are you afraid?” Wang Teng smiled.

“Why would I be afraid? I’m just worried that you’ll lose everything.” An Lan was speechless.

“Don’t worry, he’s just an advanced-stage mining engineer. I’ll let him know that there’s always someone better out there,” Wang Teng replied calmly.

An Lan looked at him curiously. Did he have a trump card?

“Wang Teng, do you know some mining skills too?” Round Ball’s voice sounded in Wang Teng’s mind. It had seen this expression on Wang Teng’s face many times. Every time, he managed to do the impossible. Thus, Round Ball suspected that he knew some mining skills.

“Secret.”

“Hmph. Alright, you don’t have to tell me.” Round Ball kept quiet. Whenever he said this, it meant that Wang Teng had enough confidence. It didn’t need to worry.

Soon, they arrived at the front. There were numerous rock gambling dens opened by powerful factions here.

The profits of rock gambling were unimaginable. No one would dare to open a rock gambling den without enough influence. Otherwise, they might get thrown out by other factions.

The factions owning the dens were powerful, so many formidable martial warriors came here to gamble. However, they would have to follow the rules here too.

“You can pick the den in case they say I bully a newcomer,” Andrais said as he pointed around the lane.

Wang Teng observed his surroundings. He didn’t recognize any stall.

“Let’s choose Ju Cai Rock Gamble. This is a branch set up by a powerful faction with many connections in Great Qian City. They won’t dare to cause trouble there,” An Lan said using voice transmission as he signaled with his eyes.

“Ju Cai?!” Wang Teng rolled his eyes when he saw the old-fashioned name. He asked using voice transmission, “This is the business of a powerful faction and not some small gambling den? Are you serious?”

“Cough, they opened a rock gambling den to earn money. It’s understandable why they gave it this name. It might be a little old-fashioned, but the meaning is straightforward. Nothing wrong with it,” An Lan coughed awkwardly. [1. Ju Cai means to gather wealth.]

“Why not call themselves Wang Cai?” Wang Teng asked. [2. Wang Cai is a common name for a pet dog.]

An Lan didn’t know what to say.

Who are you calling a dog!

“Why don’t we open one in the future and call it Wang Cai?” Wang Teng touched his chin and asked.

You’re a real talent… An Lan complained in his heart. He didn’t say it out loud though.

“Let’s go to Ju Cai,” Wang Teng replied to Andrais.

“Alright.”

Andrais walked into the den first.

From the outside, it looked like a normal shop, but there was a huge courtyard at the back. A large number of ores were kept here.

“Please wait for a moment. You need monetary proof to go to the backyard.” An attendant smiled and stopped the group.

These rock gambling dens had strict rules. They weren’t looking down on the poor, but if one didn’t have enough wealth, he wouldn’t be able to buy anything even if he went in. It was a pure waste of time.

Andrais seemed familiar with the procedure. He showed his identity.

The attendant let him in instantly when he saw that he was from the Parkers family. He didn’t have to worry about his wealth.

As for Wang Teng…

Wang Teng glanced at An Lan, only to notice that An Lan was looking at him.

“Why are you looking at me?” Wang Teng asked.

“Me?” An Lan pointed at himself in surprise. As a triple-field grandmaster, Wang Teng must be rich. Why did he need him?

“I have no money, so you have to do it,” Wang Teng said matter-of-factly.

The attendant continued smiling and waited for them patiently.

Andrais and Cao Guan stared at him in disdain. “Where did you get the guts to bet with me when you have no money?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t lose, so I don’t need any money.”

Silence.

Andrais and the others were burning in anger. They got infuriated by Wang Teng’s calm and casual tone.

“Let’s wait and see how you’ll beat me. However, you need to get in first.” Andrais scoffed.

“That’s not your concern. We’ll settle it ourselves,” Wang Teng said.

An Lan felt helpless. He had no choice but to give the 200 hundred million deposit before they were let in.

The monetary proof the attendant mentioned was the deposit. It would be returned after they came out.

One hundred million per person. An Lan helped Wang Teng to give his deposit too.

“Please come in.” The attendant raised his hand and signaled them to go in.

Cao Jiaojiao and Cao Guan also paid the deposit before they entered the backyard.

The place was enormous and was segregated into many different districts. The grade of each district was different.

There were all kinds of ores placed in the backyard, piled up in various corners. Some were big while others were small. The big ones were a few thousand kilograms and the small ones were only the size of a fist.

“There’s no need to look at other areas. Let’s go to District A. The higher quality ores are there,” Andrais said.

“No problem.” Wang Teng nodded.

There were beautiful attendants guiding the guests and professionals explaining the ores. There were mining engineers too. Their positions were high, and they were in charge of looking over the area. They rarely came out.

Most of the guests had a powerful background or were wealthy and strong in terms of ability.

Wang Teng scanned the area and noticed many cosmos-stage and heaven-stage martial warriors. There were even some who hid their auras. They were probably universe-stage martial warriors.

It was hard to believe that there were so many powerful martial warriors in the backyard of a rock gambling den.

No wonder there was a restriction. If any normal person was allowed to enter the den and provoked these formidable martial warriors, the reputation of the den would be tarnished.

The Ju Cai Rock Gamble was a high-class gambling den.

Most of these martial warriors had mining engineers beside them. They would seek their opinions occasionally before buying the ores.

How did Wang Teng know? He saw the attribute bubbles dropped from their bodies.

He picked them up without any worry.

Mining Skill*300

Mining Skill*500

Mining Skill*450

…

The mining engineers here are of a higher quality. The attribute bubbles they dropped have a higher value. Wang Teng thought to himself.

In that short moment, he had picked up a few thousand points of mining skill. His mining engineer points escalated, and he reached the advanced stage in the blink of an eye.

After he reached the advanced stage, he continued collecting more attribute bubbles and managed to break through to the master level.

A sea of knowledge of mining and ores appeared in his mind. They turned into his memory and enlightenment. He understood everything.

After some time, Wang Teng became a real mining engineer.

Mining Engineer: 200/10000 (master)

It’s not that difficult. Wang Teng muttered in his heart.

However, the limit of the mining engineer was quite high. The master level required ten thousand points. He would probably need a few tens of thousand points to reach the grandmaster level.

Fortunately, mining attributes were easier to find than alchemist and blacksmith attributes. It didn’t need much effort, so Wang Teng didn’t mind.

After Wang Teng became a master mining engineer, he started to feel itchy again. When he was an intermediate-stage mining engineer, he was able to tell that the piece of ore contained the Crimson Constellation Bronze. What ability would he possess at the master level?

Andrais’s mining engineer was at the advanced stage, right? Wasn’t he acting so proud?

It’s time to teach him a lesson.

After some time, Andrais chose a few thousand kilograms of ores under the guidance of the advanced-stage mining engineer. He walked over.

“We’ve taken our pick. Have you started? The ores here are harder to choose. If you can’t see anything, you can admit defeat. If mine is cut, you’ll have to pay its worth,” Andrais said calmly.
