Chapter 20: The Honorable Status of a Great Martial Master
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Under the night sky, a private car was cruising.
In the private car, Lu Yu sat alone in the back.
After Dai Chao left, the City Lord’s Advisor arranged for a private car to send Lu Yu to the City Lord’s Office to collect the promised equipment.
At this moment, Lu Yu was looking at the Great Martial Master badge he had just received.
The Great Martial Master badge was completely made of gold and it was extremely dazzling.
Lu Yu was acutely aware that the Great Martial Master badge brought with it all kinds of special privileges.
Many stores would give discounts or even waive the bill when the Great Martial Master badge was presented.
The allowance of a Great Martial Master would also increase significantly.
From 30,000 federation coins per month for Martial Masters, it was increased to 100,000 federation coins per month.
An ordinary person would only be able to earn around 5,000 federation coins in a month if he worked very hard.
Even if a low-level Martial Arts Warrior were to join the army, their monthly salary would only be 8,000 to 9,000 federation coins.
100,000 federation coins was really a lot.
Not only was it enough for Lu Yu to support his whole family, it was also enough for them to live a good life and still leave lots of money for him to continue improving his abilities.
......
Besides these known benefits, there were many other hidden benefits that came with the Great Martial Master badge.
With his Great Martial Master badge, he would be respected wherever he went. Everything he needed to do would be extremely easy and smooth-going.

Compared to Lu Yu’s relaxed expression, the driver in front was trembling with fear as if he was treading on thin ice.
This was the first time that the driver was picking up someone of such a high status as a Great Martial Master. He was extremely afraid that he might wake Lu Yu up with the slightest wrong move.
He wouldn’t be able to withstand the fury of a Great Martial Master.
Therefore, the driver drove very carefully and kept the car as steady as possible, trying to give Lu Yu a comfortable ride.
While driving, the driver sneaked a peek at Lu Yu every now and then through the rear view mirror to see if he was unhappy with anything.
However, at this moment, his greatest fear came true.
The car in front of him suddenly braked.
At this point, the driver had just looked at the rear view mirror and turned his attention back to the front. Before he could react, he had already crashed into the car ahead and straightaway rear-ended it.
Lu Yu naturally sensed this, but he couldn’t be bothered to respond. He kept his eyes closed and continued to rest.
Seeing this, the driver heaved a big sigh of relief and hurriedly got out of the car to deal with the accident.
In this situation, logically it was the car in front that was responsible for the accident. The distance between the two cars was sufficient, and he did not exceed the speed limit. It was the sudden braking of the car in front that led to the rear-ending.
However, the driver couldn’t care less. He only wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible and send the Great Martial Master to the City Lord’s Office. He couldn’t delay the Great Martial Master from his appointment.
The driver, Qin Fu, was a middle-aged man who had been driving for many years.
Qin Fu had just gotten out of the car when the owner of the car in front of him got out too. It was a young man.
Qin Fu quickly went forward and said, “I’m sorry that such a thing happened. This is my name card. Please contact me later, whatever amount you want for compensation I will pay. I have something urgent to attend to and need to leave now. Is that acceptable to you?”
However, the young man shoved him roughly and said angrily, “You hit my car and you want to just go off and settle this later? Settle it now! Kneel down and apologize to me immediately!”
When Qin Fu heard this, his expression instantly clouded over. He said, “Young man, it was you who suddenly braked and caused me to crash into you. You can tell me how much compensation you want, and I will compensate you. But right now, I really do have an urgent matter and I need to send someone somewhere, so it can’t be delayed.”
“What kind of person is in such a hurry? Is it more important than crashing into me? This person is really arrogant. He didn’t even get out of the car after hitting me?” As the young man spoke, he walked over to see who was sitting in the car.
The driver quickly stopped him.
He could accept giving an apology and compensation to this guy, but he would be in trouble if the guy harassed the Great Martial Master and caused dissatisfaction.
“Young man, don’t! Don’t go over! Don’t disturb him!” Qin Fu quickly tried to stop him.
However, in the young man’s view, he was just an ordinary person while the young man was a newly awakened Grade 1 Martial Arts Warrior.
Even though he was only a Grade 1 Martial Arts Warrior and a beginner in the world of skills evolution, he was already far stronger than ordinary people. His strength was many times more powerful than Qin Fu’s.
“Move aside. I’m just taking a look. I’m not going to do anything.” The young man said resentfully.
At this time, Lu Yu had also heard the commotion and rolled down the car window.
The young man came forward and was just about to say something when he saw the shiny golden badge on Lu Yu’s chest.
The gold badge implied he possessed the evolution level of a Great Martial Master.
In an instant, the young man panicked.
He did have some ability, this was also the reason he was so arrogant.
However, his entire family couldn’t afford to offend a Great Martial Master, much less a mere mortal like him.
If a Great Martial Master were to get angry and stir up trouble, their entire clan would suffer!
“What? Are you looking for trouble?” Lu Yu asked with an expressionless face.
Lu Yu didn’t want to bother with this matter. It had nothing to do with him in the first place, but it had delayed his journey.

He actually knelt down in front of Lu Yu on the spot and apologized repeatedly. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that it was you, the Great Martial Master. I’m sorry for disturbing you. Please forgive me. It’s my fault for being blind and getting in your way!”
As he spoke, the young man slapped himself repeatedly. The sound of the slapping was resoundingly loud.
Lu Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw what the young man was doing. Was this the power that came from owning a Great Martial Master badge?
“All right, all right. Quickly move your car and don’t block the road anymore,” Lu Yu said indifferently as he rolled up the car window.
The young man was relieved when he heard that.
He returned to the driver, Qin Fu, and took the name card. The youth said, “Don’t say anymore. It’s all my responsibility. I’ll compensate you after you have sent the Great Martial Master to his destination. I’ll make way for you first. Hurry up and send the Great Martial Master off. Don’t waste any more time!”
As he spoke, the young man hurriedly returned to the car and moved it away.
The driver heaved a sigh of relief at this point. Fortunately, the Great Martial Master didn’t blame him and instead helped him.
The driver, Qin Fu, didn’t have time to calm down. He quickly returned to the car and continued to drive Lu Yu to the City Lord’s Office.
Not long after that, the private car arrived at the City Lord’s Office and stopped in front of the entrance.
At this time, at the gate in front of the City Lord’s Office, Qin Cheng led a group of guards to personally welcome Lu Yu. He put up a really grand show of extravagance.
As soon as Lu Yu got out of the car, everyone called out in unison, “Welcome, Esteemed Honorable Great Martial Master!”
Many of these guards were secretly observing Lu Yu.
Great Martial Masters were extremely rare, and they seldom had a chance to meet one.
They did not simply welcome Lu Yu on Qin Cheng’s command, they also genuinely respected the Great Martial Master, an expert of such a high evolution level, from the bottom of their hearts.
When Lu Yu saw this scene, he immediately understood that it was a welcome party specially arranged by Qin Cheng.
All simply because Qin Cheng wanted to leave a good impression on Lu Yu.
Lu Yu walked up and said to Qin Cheng in a low voice, “All right, there’s no need to put out all these superficial things. I’m already such an old man, I don’t care about these things anymore. Just take me to see the Great Martial Master’s armor and weapons.”
“Okay, okay, please follow me!” Qin Cheng was beaming widely as he immediately brought Lu Yu into the City Lord’s Office.
