Chapter 2402 Virtual Universe Corporation Arrives! A God-Stage Prodigy Contract! (2)
"What happened?" Wang Teng asked in surprise.
"Wang Teng, someone from the Virtual Universe Corporation is trying to reach you," Round Ball exclaimed in surprise.
"The Virtual Universe Corporation?" Wang Teng paused for a moment. "I remember they mentioned signing a contract after the last League Of Talents, but then they went silent. Why are they contacting me now?"
"They probably learned about your recent battle. Being able to kill a universe-stage powerhouse and withstand a blow from an eternal-stage ruler, your potential has caught the attention of the Virtual Universe Corporation," Round Ball explained.
"Let's connect with them and see what they want," Wang Teng nodded.
With a wave of Round Ball's small hand, a light screen immediately opened, floating in front of Wang Teng.
"Greetings, Sir Wang Teng!"
A gentle-looking human elder clad in silver-white armor appeared on the screen. He smiled at Wang Teng.
"Hello." Wang Teng's gaze slightly sharpened. Even through the light screen, he could sense the extraordinary nature of the elder before him. The other party was an eternal-stage existence, perhaps even an eternal-stage ruler like Elder Hui. He quickly nodded politely.
"I am Rofort, an eternal-stage ruler from the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Corporation," the elder introduced himself.
Indeed! Wang Teng thought to himself after hearing the introduction. Without showing any excitement, he calmly asked, "May I know the reason for your contact, sir?"
His expression remained neutral, devoid of any urgency or enthusiasm.
Rofort smiled slightly and said, "Since the last League Of Talents, we have been closely following your progress. However, due to internal debates regarding your potential, we hesitated to sign a deeper contract with you. After witnessing your display of strength in the recent battle on the Five Burial Stars, internal doubts about your potential have finally been dispelled. Now, I have been tasked to communicate with you personally, hoping you won't dwell on past matters."
The eternal-stage martial warrior spoke very frankly, not hiding anything. He directly explained the cause and effect, showing no concern that Wang Teng might take offense.
Or perhaps, he wasn't worried at all that Wang Teng would refuse a contract from the Virtual Universe Corporation.
As one of the major powers in the universe, the Virtual Universe Corporation exuded confidence. Nobody could afford to turn down their contracts.
Moreover, they didn't underestimate Wang Teng. The fact that they were straightforward about the matter indicated their high regard for him and their reluctance to conceal anything.
Having an eternal-stage ruler explain matters personally was already a considerable show of respect for Wang Teng.
Wang Teng finally realized that there were many intricacies involved in this situation.
"Wang Teng, I reckon the contract the Virtual Universe Corporation is preparing for you isn't an ordinary one, hence the internal debates," Round Ball said, slightly surprised.
"Indeed," Wang Teng thought, realizing the implications. He nodded secretly but didn't show any emotions on his face.
This tranquility wasn't an act. Having experienced numerous events, even encountering god-stage beings, he wouldn't be overly excited about a contract from the Virtual Universe Corporation.
Nonetheless, there was still a sense of joy.
After all, contracts from the Virtual Universe Corporation came with many benefits.
"It's of little consequence to me," Wang Teng said lightly, smiling. "So, may I know what kind of contract the Virtual Universe Corporation is offering me?"
"Very well. As for the contract, I will be arriving at the Five Burial Stars shortly. Let's discuss it in person when I arrive," Rofort replied with a smile.
Wang Teng was momentarily surprised by the prospect of the eternal-stage ruler coming personally to the Five Burial Stars. However, he quickly regained his composure and said, "I'll be eagerly awaiting your arrival."
"I will arrive in about half an hour." Rofort smiled.
"Okay," Wang Teng replied.
The communication ended, and Round Ball exclaimed excitedly, "Wang Teng, the Virtual Universe Corporation is prepared this time. They will surely offer you extremely high treatment. Otherwise, they wouldn't have an eternal-stage ruler to come in person. Wow! Your influence is massive."
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Wang Teng watched Round Ball fluttering about, feeling somewhat speechless.
"Of course it is! Don't you understand what this means? An eternal-stage ruler! Such beings don't travel around for no reason. Now, for your contract, one is coming personally. That alone speaks volumes," Round Ball exclaimed urgently.
"I hope so," Wang Teng's eyes flickered, smiling. "Help me inform the five major families so they won't be caught off guard."
"You're so calm about this," Round Ball shook its head, unsure of what to say. It believed that once Wang Teng saw the contents of the contract, he wouldn't remain so calm. Without further ado, it went to contact the members of the five major families.
Upon learning that an eternal-stage ruler from the Virtual Universe Corporation was about to arrive at the Five Burial Stars in about half an hour, the family heads were shocked. Without delay, they immediately informed the ancestral elders.
Hengzang Bo, Yizang Zhao, and the others were also astonished. They appeared in Yizang Xinnuo's manor through spatial fluctuations.
Upon receiving the news, Yizang Xinnuo and others were already waiting in the hall. Seeing the arrival of the ancestral elders, they all bowed respectfully.
