Outside the stadium,
after Lu Yu had completed his test, he walked out, his heart full of joy.
When he saw his wife, Giovanna, who came to pick him up, he wanted to tease her a bit. He quickly pretended to be upset and walked towards her.
“Old man, how did the test go?” Giovanna came up to him and asked.
Previously, she did not want to put too much pressure on Lu Yu, so she said that the results of the test didn’t matter.
In truth, how could it be that she did not care about the results of Lu Yu’s test?
The test results not only affected the federal subsidies, but they also showed Lu Yu’s physical condition.
If he fell to the level of an ordinary person, it would also mean that Lu Yu’s physical condition was not good and he wouldn’t have much time left.
Lu Yu sighed and said, “Sigh, it’s only so-so.”
Seeing this, Giovanna’s heart ached for a moment, but she had already expected it. She quickly adjusted her expression and comforted Lu Yu.
“It’s all right, old man. You’re already 90 years old. You’ve been maintaining it until you’re 90 years old before you fall to the level of an ordinary person. You’re already very impressive.”
“You participated in the Holy War and survived it, when the survival rate was only 10%. You are the pride of my life. Don’t look down on yourself!”
Hearing Giovanna’s words of comfort, Lu Yu nodded slightly, then shook his head and said,
“I thought that I would have the skills evolution of an Advanced Martial Master, but I was one step short. I’m only a Grade 7 Martial Master. That’s not really good.”
“Exactly.”
Instinctively, Giovanna nodded her head in agreement. Then she became stunned for a moment, wondering if she had heard wrongly.
“Old man, what did you just say?”
Giovanna’s face was filled with shock.
When Lu Yu saw his wife’s expression, he immediately found her kind of cute. He patted her on the shoulder and said,
“All right, all right. I won’t tease you anymore. The test went well. The test results confirmed that I’m a Grade 7 Martial Master.”
“Grade… Grade 7 Martial Master? Are you serious? Old man, don’t joke about such things.”
Giovanna was totally flabbergasted.
She wouldn’t have believed it if he had said Grade 7 Martial Arts Warrior, let alone a Grade 7 Martial Master!
Lu Yu took out a Grade 7 Martial Master badge and the 30,000 federation coins to show Giovanna.
Giovanna took it and looked closely.
A Martial Arts Warrior’s badge was completely made of bronze.
However, the badge of a Martial Master was completely made of silver.
There were seven bars on the silver Martial Master badge, indicating that he was a Grade 7 Martial Master!
Looking at the real Martial Master badge and 30,000 federation coins, it took a while for Giovanna to get used to it, and then believed it.
In her excitement, Giovanna threw herself into Lu Yu’s arms and patted him. “You joker! How did you do it? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”
“Earlier on, I’ve been growing stronger. I just wanted to give you a surprise,” Lu Yu said, trying to pacify her.
It took quite a while for Giovanna to calm down. At this moment, her face was beaming with joyous happiness.
A Grade 7 Martial Master’s monthly allowance of 30,000 federation coins was enough to support the whole family and pay for their children’s school fees.
There was no need for Giovanna to take on extra jobs. She only had to keep one job to maintain the daily needs and ensure sufficient income for herself.
Aside from that, it also meant that Lu Yu’s physical body condition had improved and would be able to live for a long time, thereby keeping her and the children company.
Following this, the two of them then discussed and decided to have a good meal as a reward.
According to his memories, Lu Yu also learned that restaurants in the Age of the Spiritual Energy Renaissance were divided into many levels.
Most of them were ordinary restaurants where anyone could go, as long as they had money to spend.
Apart from that, there were also restaurants for Martial Arts Warriors, restaurants for Martial Masters, and even higher-level restaurants.
For those restaurants, only customers with a high level of skills evolution could enter to have meals.
If a person’s skills evolution had not reached that requisite level, no matter how much money he had, he wouldn’t even be able to enter the premises.
Previously, Lu Yu was at most a Grade 9 Martial Arts Warrior and had never advanced to become a Martial Master.
Now that he had become a Martial Master, he could naturally go to such restaurants and enjoy himself.
Lu Yu took out his phone and checked the map, quickly choosing a restaurant.
The stadium was located near the largest East End dojo in the East City District.
Due to the protection of the dojo, there was a Martial Master restaurant called the Resplendent East Restaurant. It was quite famous in the city.
Since it also happened to be nearby, Lu Yu and his wife, Giovanna, headed for this restaurant. At the same time, they informed Lu Shan and Lu Shui, who had just finished school, to come over for dinner.
Not long after, Lu Yu and his family of four gathered outside the Resplendent East Restaurant.
Lu Yu and Giovanna were chatting happily. Becoming a Martial Master not only brought about changes in the physical body, social status, and change in treatment by people, it also gave a huge boost in self-confidence.
Now that Lu Yu was a Martial Master, Giovanna could rely on him with complete ease. She no longer needed to worry, and could lead a stable carefree life.
When Lu Shan and Lu Shui arrived and saw the glamorous Resplendent East Restaurant, they felt an inexplicable sense of inferiority.
“Dad, Mom, what are we doing here? Aren’t only Martial Masters and their family members allowed to enter?” Lu Shan came to his side and whispered.
Lu Shui’s voice was also very soft.
“Yeah, let’s hurry up and leave. It’s so awkward here.”
Lu Yu glared at his son and daughter in annoyance and said in a loud voice, “Son, daughter, a person should be upright, neither servile nor overbearing. Don’t feel inferior. Why are you speaking so quietly? Whether they are Martial Master restaurants, or Great Martial Master or Grand Master restaurants, it’s just that we can’t enter, but there’s nothing wrong with standing at their doors!”
“Your father is right. Stand up straight and don’t be afraid.” Giovanna said, nodding her head.
When Lu Shan and Lu Shui heard their parents’ teachings, they immediately puffed out their chests.
However, the two of them were still a little confused. Why had their parents brought them here? Were they just going to stand at the door and admire the Martial Master Restaurant?
At this time, Lu Yu took out his Martial Master badge and attached it on his chest.
The badge wasn’t big. Although the number of stripes on it couldn’t be seen clearly from a distance, its color was very clear. It was silver in color and represented the skills evolution level of a Martial Master!
Not far away, two waiters were standing at the entrance of the Resplendent East Restaurant. At first, their faces were cold with indifference as they completely ignored Lu Yu and his family.
When they saw Lu Yu take out his Martial Master badge, they immediately walked over in a respectful manner.
“Esteemed Honorable Martial Master, do you wish to dine here?”
“Esteemed Honorable Martial Master, we didn’t know that you were a Martial Master earlier and didn’t welcome you. Please punish us!”
The two waiters lowered their heads slightly. Thinking about how they had just ignored these people, they instantly regretted it.
Lu Shan and Lu Shui were dumbfounded when they saw their father’s Martial Master badge and the two waiters’ respectful demeanor. They stood dumbstruck and incredulous.
Lu Yu calmly glanced at the two waiters and said with a faint smile, “It’s fine, those who don’t know are not guilty. A table for four please. Kindly lead us in.”
“Thank you for your forgiveness, Esteemed Honorable Martial Master. Please come in!”
The two waiters immediately stepped aside and bowed 90 degrees, inviting Lu Yu and his family to enter.
Lu Yu led Giovanna in.
Lu Shan and Lu Shui, who had yet to recover from the shock, didn’t even have time to ask for details before they dumbly followed them into the Martial Master restaurant called the Resplendent East Restaurant.
