Corestar Gold is one of the rarest and most precious substances in the entire universe.
Its value is not only reflected in its scarce reserves but more critically in its unique and irreplaceable uses.
For example, the warship blades equipped on Combat chs contain Corestar Gold in their manufacturing formula; without this special tal, the blade cannot withstand the effects of ultra-high frequency oscillations.
Corestar Gold is also found in many black technology products, and manufacturing a single Titan-class Battleship requires at least five tons of Corestar Gold.
To so extent, Corestar Gold limits the production of the Empire’s Titan-class Battleships!
The preciousness of this material is beyond question.
Additionally, the refinent and forging of Corestar Gold are extrely difficult, requiring specialized equipnt for slting and application.
Soone claid that the gift Wang Chen gave to Lin Weiya was forged from Corestar Gold, and everyone’s first reaction was disbelief, especially the arrogant man insulting Wang Chen, who reacted as if his tail had been stepped on.
He imdiately turned his head, intent on angrily refuting such nonsense.
But before releasing his anger, the haughty young noble’s face flushed red, and he swallowed his words back forcefully.
Almost suffocating on the spot!
The person who identified the Thorn Rose material was an elderly noble with white hair, dressed in a black tailcoat, wearing golden wire glasses, with deep wrinkles on his face that silently tell of the years gone by.
His eyes, however, were so wise that nobody dared underestimate him in the slightest.
"Your judgnt must be correct."
Earl Lind quickly flattered him and gave his daughter a knowing glance, then smiled and said to Wang Chen, "Sir, please co inside and have a seat, and try so of our Lind family’s special wine."
This Earl Sir was undoubtedly a versatile figure, diffusing a potential conflict with ease in conversation and laughter.
Wang Chen naturally would not disrespect him, and he smiled, following the maid to find a seat in the hall.
As for the old butler, soone naturally arranged a seat for him.
The gift Wang Chen gave Lin Weiya was indeed crafted from Corestar Gold.
His Corestar Gold ca from the Holy Fire Hall’s stronghold, a part of their decades-long accumulation, and creating this slender stab sword didn’t even use one-thousandth of it, so it wasn’t a big deal.
The real test was when Wang Chen forged the Corestar Gold into an exquisite Lady Sword, which truly demonstrated his skill.
Unfortunately, no one at the scene could understand this point!
Just after Wang Chen tasted the so-called Lind family’s special wine, the elderly noble ca over, smiling as he asked, "Young man, drinking alone is so boring, shall we have a chat?"
"Thank you."
Wang Chen stood up and invited him to sit down: "It would be my pleasure."
The old noble didn’t hold back, and after sitting down, he ordered a glass of wine, drinking while conversing with Wang Chen.
This old noble is nad Cai Bo, an Imperial Baron, and forrly a professor at Holy Capital University.
In fact, once he ntioned his na, Wang Chen already knew who he was.
Baron Cai Bo is a famous scholar, a well-versed scholar, and an expert in ancient creatures within the Empire. Wang Chen had read his works, but the difference between the author’s photo and this old noble was significant, so he didn’t recognize him at first.
It is said this scholar ca from a humble background, and because of his unique contributions to academic research, the emperor himself nad him a baron, with honors passed down for three generations!
It is known that the emperor rarely confers hereditary titles, possessing high prestige that is universally known.
Thus, Cai Bo recognizing Corestar Gold was quite normal.
Because of his status, the young noble wouldn’t dare act rashly, swallowing the sha of being shown up.
Wang Chen could also ascertain that Cai Bo is a Superpower!
This elderly noble was knowledgeable and eloquently humorous, making conversation with him feel like a refreshing spring breeze.
Just after finishing a glass of wine, Cai Bo suddenly said with a smile: "Zhen ntioned you to , saying you’re a very special young man; I didn’t expect to et you here tonight."
Wang Chen wondered: "Zhen?"
He didn’t recall knowing anyone nad "Zhen."
"Xu Zhen."
Cai Bo’s answer stunned Wang Chen, realizing this old noble was a long-ti friend of Xu Zhen.
Cai Bo is much older than Xu Zhen, making them old friends crossing generations.
In fact, the villa where Wang Chen is currently living was bestowed by the Imperial Royalty to Xu Zhen, and Cai Bo’s ho is over a hundred kiloters away, reachable in minutes by hovercar.
"Xu Zhen told you’re the Empire’s strongest Superpower..."
Cai Bo’s eyes sparkled with childlike curiosity: "Is it true?"
Wang Chen smiled and replied: "I haven’t t anyone stronger yet, but the universe is vast, who can guarantee that?"
"Indeed, the universe is too big."
Cai Bo retracted his inquisitive gaze, lanting: "Unfortunately, a person’s life is too short; a century of ti allows limited exploration of the universe’s mysteries."
"Not to ntion the universe, even we humans have not fully understood the secrets of our own selves!"
Wang Chen silently nodded.
He has trained for many years, experienced several worlds, deeply feeling the sa sentint.
In comparison to the universe, it is destiny’s mystery that truly perplexes people!
"Visit my ho if you have the ti."
Despite Cai Bo’s significant age, he showed signs of fatigue after talking with Wang Chen for over half an hour.
This scholar handed Wang Chen a business card and then left the hall aided by the maid.
Earl Lind left other guests behind and personally saw him off.
As soon as Baron Cai Bo left, Wang Chen ordered another glass of wine, waiting for the coming-of-age ceremony to begin.
Although no one directly provoked him, he clearly felt rejection and isolation from the guests, intentionally or unintentionally being ostracized.
Apparently, in the eyes of these nobles, Wang Chen seed more like an out-of-place stranger.
Wang Chen simply laughed it off.
He understood well that such occasions were social engagents of the Empire’s nobility, and only those recognized by them could truly join in, making connections and obtaining resources and information.
Not only Wang Chen but even Baron Cai Bo might be kept at a respectful distance due to his humble origins or other reasons by these nobles.
Different circles need not forcibly integrate, and for Wang Chen, tonight’s greatest gain was Cai Bo’s business card.
He would stay on Holy Light Star for a while, perfect for more exchanges with this scholar and learning so useful knowledge.
After another half hour, delightful music played in the hall, marking the start of Lin Weiya’s coming-of-age ceremony!
