Taobao Custom Order

Monday.

The first day after becoming a Martial Warrior!

Wang Teng had just woken up, and his mind was still a little dazed.

Only after a while did he remember the whole string of events from last night.

"So, I'm already a Martial Warrior!"

Wang Teng clenched his fist, feeling the power hidden within his body, and finally found a sliver of reality in it.

Martial Warriors drew Primal Force into their bodies and used it to temper their physiques, causing qualitative changes in their bones, muscles, and more. They were simply incomparable to Martial Apprentices.

But in the Martial Arts Era, becoming a Martial Warrior was merely the starting point!

Wang Teng got up, washed up, then went downstairs for breakfast.

"Mom, Dad still isn't back?"

At the dining table, Wang Teng stuffed an egg into his mouth and asked Li Xiumei curiously.

"He said a project hadn't been settled yet, so he'll be delayed for a few more days." Li Xiumei said as she drank bird's nest porridge.

Wang Teng nodded. Since it was company business, he did not ask any further questions.

After breakfast, Wang Teng drove toward East Sea No. 1 High School.

The National Higher Education Entrance Examination was drawing closer and closer.

The atmosphere at school grew more tense by the day. The students studied as though their lives depended on it, all to fight for a future.

People said the National Higher Education Entrance Examination was a turning point in life!

Many people scoffed at that. What was the point of painstakingly getting into university? After graduating, wouldn't they still be earning a pitiful three, four, five, or six thousand a month?

They would have to scrimp and save for ten years before even thinking about buying a house or car.

And they would bloody well have to buy them on loans too!

As for those making a hundred thousand a month or a million a year, they were a minority after all.

Which one of them was not a top student or God of Learning who had graduated from an elite key university?

How could they compare?

Just tell me, how could they compare?

So was all that talk about knowledge changing one's fate just a lie to fool people?

Wrong!

Because if you did not go to university, you would find that you could only end up doing even worse...

Lin Chuhan had arrived even earlier than Wang Teng.

Before, Wang Teng had only thought she was diligent.

But now he knew that she worked part-time outside until so late at night, yet still got up earlier than many others to study the next day.

No wonder she became a God of Learning!

If this had been in his previous life, when Wang Teng was still a spoiled young master,

at this age, he would only have felt disdain for Lin Chuhan's behavior.

What was the use of studying so hard?

The money she earned after working herself to the bone for a lifetime might not even buy one of his Supercars.

But after experiencing the Wang Family's downfall, he had come to understand that he was utterly useless. Without the Wang Family, he was nothing.

He was trash beyond words!

Watching Lin Chuhan bury herself in her studies, Wang Teng felt deeply moved.

He did not disturb her. After sitting down in his seat, he took out his phone and logged into Taobao...

He planned to see whether there was some kind of container specifically made for carrying weapons.

Judging from the system's nature, Wang Teng's future development would only become more well-rounded, and the combat techniques he learned would only grow more numerous.

He already had two weapons, a battle sword and a pair of gauntlets. He would definitely use even more weapons in the future.

He could not exactly walk out the door with one hanging here and another hanging there, could he?

He scrolled through the listings.

Sure enough, Taobao had everything under the sun. No matter how strange or random something was, it could be found there.

He entered some keywords, and before long a whole pile of similar items appeared.

But they were all things like sword sheaths, saber sheaths, and staff cases. They simply could not meet Wang Teng's requirements.

Morning self-study ended, and the first class soon began.

Wang Teng was still browsing Taobao, without the slightest intention of paying attention in class.

Lin Chuhan could not quite stand it anymore. She frowned, but still sighed inwardly and said nothing.

Suddenly, a gleam flashed through Wang Teng's eyes as his gaze stopped on an item.

"A Weapon Storage Box?"

It appeared to be a long wooden case with a rather antique design.

He looked at the description.

This Weapon Storage Box actually claimed that it could hold fourteen kinds of weapons.

It even had mechanisms on it. With one press, the required weapon would spring out.

"That awesome?"

As he continued reading, Wang Teng discovered with laughter and tears that the so-called fourteen kinds of weapons were actually centered on sabers and swords. They only included fourteen categories of differing lengths and styles.

"Should I buy it or not?"

Wang Teng hesitated slightly.

"Forget it. I should ask the seller first and see whether they can customize one for me."

This shop was called Master Lu. It was even a gold-crown flagship store, and the reviews below were all uniformly positive.

There were quite a few customized items among the reviews as well.

So Wang Teng directly opened the chat box and asked the seller.

"Are you there?"

"Yes, dear (づ￣3￣)づ╭~"

"Can you customize a Weapon Storage Box here?"

"A Weapon Storage Box?"

"...You don't know??"

"Please wait a moment, dear. I'll look it up."

Wang Teng was somewhat speechless. This shop did not even know about the things it sold. Was it reliable or not?

After a moment, the other party replied.

"Dear, are you there?"

"I just looked it up for you. So the Weapon Storage Box you meant is this thing." A picture was attached afterward.

In the photo was a wooden box piled in the corner of a warehouse, its surface covered in dust.

Wang Teng finally understood why the other party could not remember it.

"How many years has it been since you last took this thing out?" he asked suspiciously.

"Ahahaha, don't fuss over such details. My grandfather made this Weapon Storage Box in a sudden burst of inspiration. Later, no one ever bought it, so it was piled in the warehouse. I never expected anyone to ask about it after all these years," the other party said with an awkward laugh.

"May I ask how many years of history this thing has?"

"Not much, not much. Just ten years!"

"Hiss!" Wang Teng's teeth ached. "Alright, then ask your grandfather whether he can customize one according to my ideas."

"...I'm afraid not."

??

"Why?" Wang Teng asked.

"Um, I don't want to go see my grandfather so early yet. (ω)"

"Sorry!" Wang Teng was rather helpless.

"Then forget it."

He was about to log off when the other party hurriedly sent another message.

"Wait!"

"If you can, tell me your ideas. I'll see whether I can make some modifications based on this Weapon Storage Box. If I can sell it, I think my grandfather will be very happy in the afterlife."

"Oh!" Wang Teng perked up.

Treat a dead horse as though it were alive!

So he told the other party his requirements.

The other side was silent for a long while before saying, "Are you planning to use it as a collectible?"

"You can think of it that way," Wang Teng said.

"Alright, I'll do my best. I'll notify you after I finish modifying it," the other party said.

"What about the price?"

Seeing that the other party was so eager to log off and research how to alter the Weapon Storage Box that they had not even discussed the price, Wang Teng suddenly formed a vague impression of this person's character...

Could this guy be an idiot?

"Oh right, I forgot o(╯□╰)o"

The person on the other side thought for a moment before replying.

"Anyway, no one wants this thing. Just casually give me eighty or a hundred thousand as a fee for my trouble."

"Fine. As long as the item satisfies me, I'll buy it for one hundred thousand."

Wang Teng did not hesitate and agreed right away.

Those rune weapons cost hundreds of thousands or even millions at the drop of a hat. This Weapon Storage Box was only a hundred thousand, which was not unacceptable.

Besides, he had quite a lot of requirements and could only have it customized. A higher fee was only natural.
