Chapter 1605

1605 Double the Reward, Double the Happiness! (3)
“Don’t look at me like that; I’ll let you touch it next time. I’m not lying,” said Wang Teng and turned to leave. He couldn’t stand the fellow’s bitter expression.
“Wang Teng, stay back for a while,” General Fu Xinglan shouted just then.
“Yes!” The hero stopped in his tracks and looked at the high official.
“Wang Teng, are you going back to planet Great Qian?” the Second Prince asked, “If you are, I can wait for you so we can travel together.”
The hero declined the offer. “Nope, I’ll be heading to planet Yuming.”
“All right, see you in the Seven Stellar Academies,” said the prince, nodding with a smile. He gave the earthling a meaningful look.
“See you!” The hero nodded back.
After sending off the rest of the geniuses, General Fu Xinglan looked at Wang Teng, feeling contentment. “Looks like you have a good relationship with the other candidates.”
He originally thought that their junior would make enemies wherever he went, considering his brutal means, always hitting people’s heads.
Honestly, which talent could swallow such humiliation?
But, unexpectedly, the geniuses weren’t showing much contempt towards him, and some were quite friendly, even.
Just from their previous interactions, the other talents had voluntarily gathered around Wang Teng. They probably did so unwittingly.
The hero possessed a unique quality, which allowed him to earn the trust and respect of those talents.
Of course, the most important factor was his exceptional talent and ability. Neither the Second Prince nor the rest of the geniuses would treat him like that if he were just an ordinary warrior.
“It’s not too bad. We got to know each other better after fighting.” Wang Teng didn’t realize what the generals saw, so he was a bit surprised.
General Fu Xinglan changed the topic with a smile, “I asked you to stay a bit longer because the military has prepared a reward for you.”
“More rewards!” Wang Teng’s eyes lit up. He felt incredibly lucky. He was receiving rewards from the empire and the military. His treatment was two times better compared to the rest.
Double the reward, double the happiness!
Actually, the others would probably get some rewards from their own factions. However, it wouldn’t be as good as what the military would grant.
“Hahaha, I didn’t know you were a money grubber.” General Habakkuk laughed.
“Who doesn’t like rewards?” The hero chuckled.
“You brought glory to the military this time. The higher authorities are overjoyed so they want to reward you,” General Fu Xinglan explained.
Wang Teng didn’t act politely with the officials, asking directly, “What reward?”
“It’s inappropriate to raise your rank now, so your reward will mostly be in the form of resources,” General Fu Xinglan answered, “the military has decided to give you the authority of a lieutenant general, so you can buy more resources on our logistics website. You will also receive the associated benefits, as well as a large amount of contribution points. They can be used for your purchases.”
“That’s great.” The young hero was elated. He would get the authority but not the rank of lieutenant general; however, that was good enough already. Come on, it was already in the general rank’s range.
“All right, you can go back and check your account. You should get going soon.” General Fu Xinglan laughed.
“Yes!” Wang Teng replied. He settled his emotions and saluted the three generals before leaving the control room.
Some time later, an eternal-level spacecraft flew out of the battle fortress, bound for planet Yuming.
