...

Lu Wu looked at his intranet account, a delighted smile spreading across his lips.

No, this was more than a smile; he was practically laughing out loud!

Especially when he saw the total revenue from dividends at the bottom, Lu Wu's mouth almost stretched to his ears.

"Surprise, what a surprise!

I never expected that Goblins would be such a profitable business!"

"Not only did I earn 2000 points in one go, but in less than a day, I've already made another 222 points!

It seems that the popularity of Goblins as a summon beast is indeed higher than that of Mini Skeletons!

I've struck gold here; this is going to be a goldmine!"

Lu Wu, in his state of euphoria, was unaware that his success was actually a result of an unexpected turn of events.

The reason Lu Wu managed to harvest 222 points in less than a day after publishing the Injection series of programs was entirely due to the speed at which the series was released.

In less than a day, Lu Wu had updated the program nine times consecutively.

The intranet's breeding program webpage featured recommendations for newly published programs, although they scrolled by quickly.

However, the nine consecutive updates caught the attention of a small group of people, among whom were some breeders who were particularly curious about the program that had been updated nine times in a single day. As a result, they all purchased it.

This was how he managed to earn 222 points in just one day.

However, Lu Wu was still unaware of this detail and simply assumed that Goblins, as a summon beast, were more profitable than Mini Skeletons.

His mind was now entirely focused on one thing: how to further utilize Goblins as a summon beast to make more money?

"Why don't I strike while the iron is hot and research the evolution system of Goblins?

If the breeding programs are this profitable, imagine what it would be like if I figured out their evolution system!"

"Also, I still haven't found my second teammate for the High School League. How about a Goblin?

If I can put on an impressive performance with a Goblin in the league, the advertising effect will be incredible, and I'm guaranteed to make a fortune after the competition!"

The mere thought of this excited Lu Wu, and his eyes nearly turned into the shape of money.

Of course, this wasn't a case of Lu Wu being greedy and materialistic.

It was genuinely challenging for a child from an ordinary family like him to grow and improve, and everything required money.

He calculated that the next stage of quality improvement for Mini Skeletons required the purchase of the Necromantic Bone Classification program, which would cost at least a few thousand points.

After all, his studies were different from others, and he might need more than just the basics.

He needed to expand his knowledge base and expose himself to various approaches, so he was determined not to miss out on any program.

This was going to be expensive!

And this was just the cost of enhancing his own knowledge.

Next, he would need to raise Mini Skeletons, a second summon beast, and later on, he might even want to set up a research institute for himself.

Additionally, he needed to take care of Dudu!

He noticed that every time Dudu used her bonding skill, her weight limit would decrease to some extent.

The last time Dudu used her bonding skill, her weight peaked at 180, and this time, Dudu's weight remained around 160.

This discovery greatly motivated Lu Wu.

He wanted to help Dudu complete her weight loss journey as soon as possible.

Well, whether or not her appearance improved wasn't the most important thing; Lu Wu simply wanted to help Dudu.

To help Dudu lose weight quickly, money, or rather, points, were essential.

Everything required money, and even if Lu Wu tried to be indifferent, the mention of points would make his eyes light up.

"I must get this money!

My second teammate's summon beast has to be a Goblin!

Oh, isn't Lin Jian Ying's summon beast a Goblin? His Goblin is quite capable. Why don't I poach him?"

Lu Wu was quite confident about poaching Lin Jian Ying.

He was like a male version of Dudu, and as long as he took a firm stance, poaching someone would be no problem.

"I'll bring him over tomorrow!

This kid is currently in the elite class and is ranked in the top ten. If I poach him, I wonder if Instructor Ye Qingsnow will be furious?"

The thought of this made Lu Wu even happier, and he couldn't wait to pick up the phone and start poaching.

However, before Lu Wu could make the call, the phone rang, and it was Li Chun.

"Hello, Teacher Li, what's the matter so late?

You say that Nanny Li is in critical condition? Wait for me, I'll be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Wu immediately headed for Quancheng Hospital, but without a car of his own and given the late hour, it was difficult to hail a taxi. In the end, he had no choice but to have the Mini Skeleton carry me to the hospital."

The Mini Skeleton was delighted with this task and ran with great joy.

It was happy, but Lu Wu, who was riding on its back, was not.

The Mini Skeleton's bony frame was already uncomfortable, and with its constant running and jumping, Lu Wu's body felt like it was falling apart by the time they reached Quancheng Hospital.

Despite Lu Wu's haste, he was still too late.

By the time he arrived, Nanny Li had already passed away.

It wasn't as if Lu Wu hadn't had fun grinding in the graveyard before; it was the Mini Skeleton doing the grinding, and it was mostly against Corpse Summon Beasts.

Lu Wu had never experienced life and death in such a direct manner.

He never imagined that his first encounter with life and death would be like this.

As he gazed upon the elderly man lying in the hospital bed and witnessed Lin Jian Ying, sobbing uncontrollably beside him, a myriad of emotions welled up within Lu Wu. He himself couldn't quite pinpoint his feelings.

Although he wasn't particularly close to Lin Jian Ying or Li Nanny, the memories of his past life lingered.

At this moment, Lu Wu felt a stifling sensation in his heart, as if the hospital room was oppressively stuffy. He couldn't bear to stay any longer, so he patted Lin Jian Ying's shoulder, muttered a word of condolence, and silently exited the room.

When Lu Wu stepped out, he noticed Li Chun sitting on a chair not far from the room, taking out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket. She instinctively started to open it, intending to light one up, but paused mid-action, clearly remembering the hospital's no-smoking policy. She quietly put the cigarettes away.

Lu Wu knew that Li Chun was always a warm-hearted teacher.

When he had first crossed over, Li Chun had worried about him and tried to cheer him up. She even recommended him to Li Kai's store.

Her kindness wasn't limited to Lu Wu; she treated all her students the same. Ever since Lin Jian Ying's grandmother's incident, Li Chun had been visiting frequently.

Occasionally, she would lend a helping hand to Lin Jian Ying and even secretly paid a portion of his medical expenses.

In the 1691st chapter, the unedited version!

Therefore, Lu Wu held this teacher in high regard.

He approached her respectfully and greeted her, "Teacher!"

Hearing Lu Wu's voice, Li Chun lifted her head slightly, looking a bit dazed. Upon seeing Lu Wu, she forced a strained smile.

"You're here?"

"Yes!" Lu Wu nodded and sat down beside Li Chun.

Both of them were in low spirits and didn't say much. After sitting in silence for a while, Lu Wu spoke first, "Teacher, it's getting late. Why don't you head back? You still have classes tomorrow. I can stay here."

Li Chun shook her head, "The class can wait. I can't leave now, and I can't leave you two kids here.

Especially with the state that Little Lin is in right now, I'm worried about him!

He was just expelled from the elite class by Ye Instructor today, and now this happened. I'm afraid he'll take it too hard..."

"Wait, what did you say?"

Lu Wu was taken aback, and his eyes narrowed, "Ye Qingsnow expelled him? Why?"

"I don't know the specific reason, but I heard that after their internal training battle in the elite class today, she called him into the office.

Then he was expelled, and Ye Instructor didn't give a reason. I asked Little Lin, but he didn't say anything. With this happening now, I don't dare to press further."

At this point, Li Chun turned to look at Lu Wu, holding his hand with a hint of pleading in her eyes. "Lu Wu, I remember your team still needs one more member, right? Can you consider taking in Little Lin? The high school league is approaching, and if he's not accepted by a team, his future will be ruined!

I know there were some misunderstandings and conflicts between you two, but after all, you've been friends since childhood. Can't you give him a helping hand? He's only 18. We can't let him fall apart like this.

Please, teacher, I beg you to help him!"

Lu Wu took a deep breath and patted Li Chun's hand, "Teacher, please don't say such things. Rest assured, I was already planning to recruit him!

I won't let him ruin his future. Wait for me a moment; I'll go in and talk to him about this."

Lu Wu stood up and re-entered the hospital room, approaching Lin Jian Ying. "You were expelled by Ye Qingsnow? What was the reason for your expulsion?"

Lin Jian Ying didn't dare to speak.

Lu Wu added, "Was it because of me?"

Lin Jian Ying shuddered, turning to face Lu Wu with tears in his eyes and a look of confusion.

As if to say, 'How did you know?'

"It's not hard to guess. Teacher Li said that after the training battle, Ye Qingsnow called him into the office and then expelled him.

When Teacher Li asked him, he didn't dare to speak.

Thinking about it, the only reason could be the tactical adjustments I made for the goblins and the breeding plan she discovered."

In truth, Lu Wu had never intended to recruit Lin Jian Ying, so when he made tactical adjustments and bred the goblins, he held back, fearing that Ye Qingsnow would find out and cause trouble for Lin Jian Ying.

But he hadn't expected to be discovered anyway.

What surprised Lu Wu even more was that Ye Qingsnow didn't just make things difficult for Lin Jian Ying; she outright kicked him out.

This made Lu Wu very unhappy.

Although he had already planned to recruit Lin Jian Ying, he didn't want him to leave the elite class in such a manner.

Adding to this, the passing of Li Nanny further ignited Lu Wu's inner rage, which he couldn't suppress any longer.

However, he didn't show it in front of Lin Jian Ying. After confirming everything, Lu Wu spoke in the calmest tone, "You don't have to stay in the elite class if you don't want to. There's nothing special about it anyway.

My team still needs one more member, so you can fill that spot!"

Lin Jian Ying's eyes widened in shock, "But..."

"Shut up. You still owe me a house. I'm your creditor, so you have no right to refuse.

Besides, the high school league is approaching, and I need a teammate. That's it. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company. Teacher Li is outside; if you need help, ask her."

Without giving Lin Jian Ying a chance to react, Lu Wu turned and left the room.

After signaling to the worried Li Chun outside that everything was settled, Lu Wu walked away from the hospital while taking out his phone to call Zhao Kai Ming, "Hello, is this Zhao Grandpa? It's Lu Wu here. Could I trouble you to investigate someone for me..."

Alright, I surrender. I'll change Ye Qingsnow to Instructor.

She's no longer a teacher, so please don't beg me!
