Chapter 43 How Dare You Speak to Him Like That?

43 How Dare You Speak to Him Like That?

The thoughts of the players present were unanimously the same—

Just a genius with potential to join the Spark Program.

Could he compare to someone like Teresa?

Sterl stood in place, honestly feeling a bit awkward.

At this moment, from the back, a player clad in purple and white armor slowly approached.

He leisurely made his way to Sterl.

Sterl thought the man was about to greet him and was about to speak—

"It's an honor to meet you, Miss Teresa. I am William Chalamet, from Sequence Base No. 68, currently residing in Superior Base No. 146."

" I am in charge of the qualification approval for players under level thirty from the human race on Earth to join the Spark Project." The man clad in battle armor actually initiated a skill similar to teleportation, moving from a later position to get ahead, blocking Teresa's way first, offering his attentions fervently.

Sterl: "..."

He was slightly speechless. So, I'm that insignificant? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In a burst of anger, emmmm... he just felt a flash of annoyance.

Sterl's emotions are relatively stable. After all, having traveled through so many years and being looked down upon more often, he wouldn't suddenly have any inviolable authority after his strength skyrocketed.

Meanwhile, Teresa was stunned. After spending some time in the instance, it felt like ages had passed.

So much had happened!

She had been chased, nearly killed, reduced to a slave by Sterl losing all her dignity, and finally obtained a B+ grade pet egg, something extremely cherished within the sequence bases.

Teresa feels like she's from another world. The scene of being kneeled and licked by other players of the opposite sex in fear before her seemed to have happened a long time ago.

Teresa looked around with some annoyance at the group of people fanatically surrounding her.

And instinctively, her gaze fell on Sterl...

Immediately, Teresa's brows furrowed. Surrounded by the crowd, she hadn't realized at first that her master was being ignored. This plunged Teresa into deep guilt.

She wanted to scold them angrily, but remembering Sterl's prior instructions not to reveal their relationship, she had to speak more gently, "Sir, aren't you in charge of the Spark Program assessments? You shouldn't let our Earth's future genius just wait like this."

At this moment, the many players present still behaved very gracefully.

"Miss Teresa, you always think things through."

"You always think too much for others."

"Your kindness and care touch us all!"

...

"How did you treat him? By ignoring? By making outrageous statements? Don't you think you owe him an apology?"

As her words fell, the players present looked at each other.

But upon hearing Teresa mention the significant opportunity she gained with Sterl's help, they all came to a realization, slapping their thighs in frustration—

Well, letting Teresa go down for the rescue was a mistake. Look at us now, we didn't get any favor. But Sterl, this kid, got to cling to the powerful!

Miste and a group of players from the mid-level base quickly tried to smooth things over: "We're so sorry. We were too hasty earlier."

"We overlooked little brother Sterl."

"In this instance, where other players died in battle, Sterl, your survival alone has proven your potential. The Spark Program is designed for talents like you."

"We were a bit neglectful just now. Please don't take it to heart."

One by one, they offered smiles.

For players from the mid-level base, offending a player valued by the big shots from the Sequence Base was the last thing they wanted.

Only William, the assessor for the Spark Program, had a grim look, staring at Sterl with a hostile gaze for several seconds before speaking slowly.

"I'm sorry. I didn't notice there was another person here."

"You're the talent reported to the Spark Program by leader Miste, aren't you?"

William activated a detection skill, seeing the false attributes Sterl had concocted for himself.

He nodded casually.

"A C-class profession, with a B-level talent?"

"Not bad. Considering that you could come back alive from the dungeon, we could give you some extra points as appropriate."

"Let's do this. For Miss Teresa's sake, we'll classify you directly as a third-tier[Brilliant Star]level talent."

Although William was displeased, he didn't particularly make things difficult for Sterl, even intentionally upgrading the treatment Sterl could enjoy.

In his view, this was just some trash from a lower base. So what if he had talent?

Sterl, compared to someone like Teresa, was like owing a favor that could never be repaid in a lifetime.

And in the rest of his life, it was unlikely the two would meet again.

William did not think himself so petty as to be unable to tolerate such an ant.

Coming from the Sequence Base himself, and sharing a C-class profession and B-level talent like Sterl, William believed his future held at least a second-class, if not a third-class transformation.

And for Sterl, even with the support of the Spark Program, achieving a second-class transformation would still be difficult!

Moreover, William was certain that Sterl's skills and equipment would be far inferior to his own. This kid from the lower base and Teresa were simply from two different worlds.
