"Wang Tong, you need to slim down. How did you let yourself get like this over the past few decades?"
"Hehe, I've made a fool of myself before you, Employer. But I don't covet much. I only enjoy good food, good drink, and life's pleasures. You've treated us generously, paying our monthly salaries in full and often giving extra rewards when projects succeed. I've spent quite a bit of money on those things."
"Oh, and the Myriad Realms Marketplace is wonderful too. Without ever leaving home, I can enjoy the finest ingredients from all across the Vast Sea. What bliss, what delight!"

These merit points could not be traded or held for long; they all had to be spent during this round of promotions. While studying his own secret arts, Li Chen had previously found time to modify Lu Chen, Yang Yu, and the others. Now, at last, it was Wang Tong's turn.

Once Wang Tong was ready, Li Chen would have four Grand Artisans specializing in rune script under his command: Yang Yu, Zhou Cheng, Yun Ya, and Wang Tong. They would be enough to help him push the development of the Rune Script
