Chapter 142: A Silver-Quality Summon Beast
Chapter 142: A Silver-Quality Summon Beast
The battle between Li Wu and Su Lan eventually concluded with Su Lan's defeat.
As the losing party, Su Lan felt more admiration than regret.
Li Wu, the master breeder, was indeed a master of schemes, and Su Lan couldn't help but acknowledge his prowess.
"I never expected their Divine Mage to be skilled in close combat. I lost because I underestimated them; I failed to consider one more layer of calculation!"
As Su Lan spoke, he glanced at the small skeleton on the arena, who was playing the BGM and advertisement on his phone again. Su Lan's eyes were filled with admiration.
"I only calculated the match, but they had already considered beyond the arena. They turned the match into an advertisement, maximizing their benefits. Our calculations are not even on the same level; is this the world of breeders? But on second thought, it might be interesting to join the same school. Shall we consider it?"
"Captain, stop joking around. Your bird lost, and they're playing music to celebrate their victory. The next match is about to begin. Which summon beast are you sending out?" His teammates couldn't help but feel exasperated with their captain, who was easily distracted during the match.
They were frustrated, and so was Su Lan!
"What's the point of continuing? Our ace has been defeated, and their pig is still there. Neither of our remaining summon beasts can break through their defense. Just surrender!"
"What?!"
The teammates were reluctant, but they knew it was their only option.
Just as the small skeleton finished playing the BGM for the second time and was about to start the third round, the referee approached.
"The match is over. Team 007 surrenders. Team 042 wins this round. Team 042, please take your skeleton down!"
That's enough; you didn't pay for sponsorship, so how many times do you plan to play the advertisement? In the audience, Li Wu gave the skeleton a meaningful glance.
The increasingly clever skeleton understood instantly and played the BGM again as it slowly descended.
It was determined to play the advertisement three times.
After the match, Li Wu approached Team 007 once more.
He had a habit of researching summon beasts, and he wanted to study Su Lan's bird.
Su Lan's bird was impressive, and he was curious about it.
However, his timing was unfortunate. When he approached, he saw Su Lan's bird pinning him down and mercilessly beating him.
Iron Feathered Falcon: Angry (Damn it, Su Lan! You made the Iron Feathered Falcon go bald again!)
Not only was the Iron Feathered Falcon attacking Su Lan, but a small white dog was also nearby, staring at Su Lan's private area with a gleam in its eyes, looking ready to pounce.
Li Wu was so shocked that his hair stood on end.
He had never seen a breeder being bullied by his own summon beast before.
But Li Wu's attention was soon drawn to the white dog.
...
Name: White Wolf
Strength: 2-star (Ordinary)
Quality: Silver (Improved)
Attribute: Wind
Status: Excited (Tuan Tuan wants to bite Su Lan! Can Tuan Tuan bite Su Lan? Tuan Tuan can bite, right?!)
Weakness: Grass
Skill: Bite (Master)
Description: Don't be fooled by its single skill. When it comes to home wrecking, no one can surpass it!
...
Li Wu was stunned by the attributes of this little guy. He looked more like a Samoyed than a wolf. Would it awaken a hereditary skill like 'Home Wrecker' when it grew up? However, its quality was genuinely high; Li Wu had never seen a silver-quality summon beast before. Fortunately, it was relatively weak, otherwise, it would have been a challenging opponent in the match.
As Li Wu admired the Samoyed, Su Lan also noticed him. He quickly pushed his bird away, straightened his clothes, and coughed.
"If I tell you that this is my exclusive summon beast cultivation method, would you believe me?"
"I do!"
Li Wu took a step forward and shook his hand firmly.
How could he not believe it? From the moment he saw the attributes of Su Lan's Samoyed, Li Wu knew he had found a true friend.
So, of course, he believed Su Lan, even if he claimed that the Iron Feathered Falcon was his wife.
Su Lan, upon hearing Li Wu's firm response and feeling the warmth of his hand, looked into Li Wu's sincere eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.
This was the feeling of being acknowledged.
...
As Li Wu and Su Lan stood there, holding hands and gazing deeply into each other's eyes, Captain Fang Bai from Team 002 rose from the audience, leading his teammates towards Team 042.
"Do you have so much free time that you're wasting it on such a minor team?" Wang Jun asked, a smirk playing on his lips.
"What? You think I'm wasting my time? Are they not worthy of your attention?" Fang Bai's tone remained indifferent. "If this were a Breeder's competition, I wouldn't dare look down on them. I'd say they're not even worthy of carrying my shoes!" He paused, his expression turning grave. "But unfortunately, this isn't a Breeder's contest; it's a Summoner's tournament."
"So, in a Summoner's competition, they're not good enough to carry your shoes either?" Li Kui challenged.
"In a Summoner's battle, their level is indeed not up to par. I know you're gathering information for the upcoming Breeder's tournament, but let me tell you, don't waste too much time on them. It's better to focus on improving yourself." Fang Bai turned to leave, adding, "This match only interests me because of your team. I don't want to win without a challenge."
"Damn! This kid is so arrogant; he's making me want to punch him!" Li Kui watched Fang Bai's departing figure, his forehead veins popping out in anger.
"But he's right," Wang Jun said, observing the interaction between Lu Wu and Su Lan below. "Lu Wu's breeding skills might be exceptional, but his Summon Beast's strength is just average. We've seen enough; there's no need to keep watching. With his current performance, I could take him down single-handedly."
"In the 1619 version of the game, I'd beat him three times over!" Li Kui exclaimed, waving his fists as if Fang Bai were right in front of him.
"Let's go back to training. We'll smash that jerk in the finals!"
Wang Jun, on the other hand, watched the match for a while longer. "He doesn't seem impressive now, but the finals are still over a month away. Who knows, he might surprise us. And who can say that what we've seen is the extent of his abilities?"
"Huh?" Li Kui was puzzled. "What do you mean? Are you saying we should keep watching their matches?"
"No, we're done here. Let's leave some suspense for later." Wang Jun stood up, signaling his team to follow.
With Teams 002 and 044's departure, the audience in the spectator stands began to disperse, leaving behind only teams with female members. Many of these spectators couldn't help but stare at Lu Wu and Su Lan, who were now celebrating their victory together, their eyes shining with unspoken thoughts.
Meanwhile, Hengheng Monster, upon witnessing Lu Wu's latest victory, suddenly decided to leave. She had realized that Lu Wu's team might make it to the Top 8, and this prospect worried her. She couldn't bear the thought of Lu Wu advancing while she didn't; it would mean losing to him again. She couldn't afford to forget her goal of making Lu Wu cry.
As the spectators gradually vacated the stands, in the President's Office of Jiangnan University, Zhang Wentao was so excited that he stood up. "What a good kid! Look at Lu Wu, what a fine young man!"
"Just the other day, I was wondering why President Zhao was treating this kid so specially. Now it's clear; he recognized Lu Wu's exceptional qualities!"
Indeed, who could argue otherwise?
Even during a competition, Lu Wu didn't forget to promote Jiangnan University. And this was even before enrollment; he was already contributing to the school. No matter how awkward the advertisement, it was still an advertisement!
Furthermore, Lu Wu's offer to adjust tactics and create Summon Beast cultivation plans for free was incredibly generous.
"This child deserves a grand reward!" Zhang Wentao exclaimed, picking up the phone. He felt it was necessary to respond to Lu Wu's gesture, both to win his heart and to further amplify the advertisement's impact.
Without delay, Zhang Wentao made his call: "Post a statement on Jiangnan University's official website, announcing the following rewards for the outstanding student, Lu Wu:
First, one entry to the Dragon Island Sanctuary.
Second, 1000 Inner Network credits.
Third, feature all of Lu Wu's skill optimization plans and cultivation plans on our channels for a day."
The phone call set Jiangnan University's administration into motion. Soon, their official channels published the rewards, and Lu Wu received the corresponding notification.
Lu Wu was stunned. Was advertising so profitable?
