Chapter 906 - Let Me Think. I'm Not 20 Yet.
Wang Teng didn't know that his random comment would cause the young people around him to frown.
Olivia didn't want to let Di Qi and Wang Teng go easily. She blocked their path and asked, "Cousin, who's this handsome man? Aren't you going to introduce him?"
"Olivia, stop fooling around. Wang Teng is my guest," Di Qi replied impatiently.
"Guest?" Olivia got more curious. "Your guest looks young, but he sounds like an old man."
Di Qi had seen Wang Teng fighting with a cosmos-stage martial warrior, so he viewed him as a powerful martial warrior, not a young man. He didn't think that there was anything wrong with his words.
However, Olivia and the young people didn't share his feelings. Wang Teng seemed to be their peer, yet he was speaking like an elder. They didn't like it.
"Haha." Wang Teng didn't get angry. Instead, he found it interesting and laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Clive frowned and asked.
All of them came from famous families in the Great Qian Planet. To them, even a normal cosmos-stage martial warrior didn't mean much.
They were polite to Di Qi because he was strong and belonged to an elite family. His status was higher than theirs. As for Wang Teng, they knew that he didn't have a noble background from his attire.
The people in the universe were very particular about their attire. One could tell a person's status from his dressing.
Wang Teng had kept his battle armor, so he was wearing the clothes he wore on Earth. It was easy to tell that he came from an underdeveloped area. Even if he was Di Qi's guest, the young ones weren't afraid of offending him.
Di Qi was just about to open his mouth when Wang Teng spoke up first. "I'm laughing because your actions are immature, but you're afraid someone will say it aloud."
"You!" Clive was infuriated.
The other young people glared at Wang Teng.
Olivia's gaze shifted between Wang Teng and Di Qi, trying to guess the former's status.
This man dared to provoke them even though he knew they had powerful backgrounds. He must have some strong support, right?
But she was also triggered by Wang Teng's words. She hated it when others treated her like a child.
"Am I wrong?" Wang Teng glanced at them. "A mature person won't be angered by a joke. You all place too much emphasis on it."
The bunch of young people didn't know what to say.
"Also, although you guys know how dangerous it is, you still plan to hunt for the dark apparitions who have higher cultivation than you because you want to perform in front of the ladies. Isn't this immature?" Wang Teng asked again.
"I did the same thing when I was young but this is extremely dangerous."
Everyone's face turned black as he spoke.
"When you were young? How old are you now?" Clive said unhappily.
"Oh, let me think. I'm not 20 yet. I can't remember," Wang Teng touched his chin and said.
Clive: …
Olivia: …
Di Qi: …
Everyone else: …
You can't remember?!
You are not even 20 years old. How bad is your memory!
"They are around the same age as you. Who gave you the courage to act as an elder?" Olivia felt speechless.
Di Qi was at a loss of words too. He thought that Wang Teng was at least 40 years old. In the universe where everyone's lifespan was long, 40 was considered young.
He didn't think this man was younger than 20. He was insanely young.
He recalled Wang Teng's strength and immediately felt that his potential was greater than he had expected.
"Don't mind the details. Age doesn't mean anything." Wang Teng waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Seriously!" Olivia choked on his shamelessness. She almost cursed at him.
"Cough, alright, Wang Teng, let me bring you to your lodging." Di Qi interrupted their argument hurriedly. He felt that he would get a headache if he continued listening to the quarrel.
"Alright." Wang Teng nodded in agreement. He left the young people and went off with Di Qi.
…
The young ones froze on the spot for a long time. There was an awkward silence.
"Where did this weirdo come from?" someone broke the silence and asked.
Silence.
No one replied to him. None of them knew Wang Teng.
"Olivia, are we still going to hunt the celestial-stage dark apparition?" Clive asked.
"No. My cousin gave his word. Do you think we can leave?" Olivia gritted her teeth and barked.
The other young people felt helpless, but they couldn't do anything. The entire planet was under Di Qi's control. His words meant everything.
They sighed and shook their heads before dispersing.
…
Di Qi led Wang Teng to the residential area behind the battle fortress. He found a room for him.
"Five days later, the one-way teleportation array to the Great Qian Planet will be activated. You can go to the Great Qian Planet with others. For now, you can stay here," Di Qi said.
Wang Teng nodded to show that he understood.
The one-way teleportation array couldn't be activated randomly. Every single activation required a large number of resources. Hence, it would only be activated when they gathered a certain number of people.
Wang Teng was a runemaster, so there was no need to explain this to him.
"I'm living in the block beside you. You can find me if you need anything or contact me through your wristwatch." Di Qi lifted his wrist and operated his wristwatch. "Let's add each other."
Wang Teng had no reason to reject. He immediately exchanged his number with Di Qi.
He had snatched his wristwatch from an alien candidate, so it could be used in the universe. After all, these wristwatches were manufactured by the big companies in the universe. They could be used everywhere.
This might be Wang Teng's first time entering the universe, but Round Ball had helped to prepare many things for him, saving him much trouble. If not, he wouldn't know anything and would probably get laughed at by others.
"You can tour the planet for the next few days. I'll label the forbidden areas on your wristwatch. Take a look at them and don't enter these areas." Di Qi turned around and left.
As the guardian of the No. 4 defense planet, he had many things to attend to. He personally welcomed Wang Teng because he had the baron token. Of course, Wang Teng's potential was another reason. After arranging his lodging, he naturally had to leave.
Wang Teng sent him off before walking into his temporary lodging. He sized up the extravagant interior and felt that Di Qi was extremely thoughtful.
