Chapter 18: Exploring Item Attributes
Chapter 18: Exploring Item Attributes
With the discovery of the additional Item Attributes function of his Golden Finger, Li Wu's work ethic and mindset underwent a transformation.
Initially, Li Wu had a part-time job mentality, focusing on earning money. Now, his mindset shifted to problem-solving and knowledge accumulation, with the goal of earning money as a bonus. Li Wu understood that to become a Summon Beast Breeder, a vast knowledge reserve was crucial.
And knowledge acquisition wasn't limited to reading books alone.
For Li Wu, 'problem-solving' was also a means to gain knowledge.
As long as he could fully grasp the attributes of all the items in this shop, he would acquire an impressive knowledge base.
Dozens of items, hundreds of materials, and countless combinations—he could freely experiment and play as he wished.
Even if he couldn't see immediate results, this knowledge would undoubtedly be valuable when he became a Summoner Breeder and needed to cultivate Summon Beasts.
With a pragmatic mindset, Li Wu got to work.
However, he soon realized that this task wasn't as easy as he'd thought.
After all, you can't just guess blindly.
Even if each item had unlimited usage, the endless failures would be torturous.
So, when tackling this problem, one must maintain a rigorous and meticulous attitude.
By integrating existing clues, one can make reasonable and logical deductions about the functions of the items.
This task was indeed challenging.
Fortunately, this world also had the internet and Baidu.
Although not everything could be found online, due to time constraints and technological restrictions, detailed information about Summon Beasts was scarce.
Still, Li Wu could find some scattered clues.
Combined with the books he had read in the library, Li Wu had some understanding of Summon Beast-related items.
Based on this foundation, when Li Wu inferred the functions of the items, he could more easily obtain useful information.
Indeed, using this method, Li Wu solved four or five items on the first day, a fruitful start.
Of course, all of this was possible because Li Wu had the Golden Finger.
Without it, attempting to solve problems and gain knowledge in this way would be pointless.
Li Kai, who was taking a nap, woke up around two or three in the afternoon. Instead of going out, he accessed the shop's surveillance system to check on the store and see what his new employee was up to.
He saw Li Wu solving problems.
Initially, Li Kai didn't understand what Li Wu was doing.
He saw Li Wu examining the store's items, surfing the internet, and writing notes from somewhere, looking busy and confused.
It wasn't until Li Wu muttered about speculating on the functions and attributes of the store's items that Li Kai understood what he was doing.
Upon this realization, Li Kai shook his head.
"This kid probably thinks this will be useful. With his approach, he'll just exhaust himself, and it's unlikely he'll achieve any meaningful results.
What a waste of effort!"
As he spoke, Li Kai turned off the surveillance.
He had no intention of advising Li Wu or taking any action.
In his opinion, Li Wu's enthusiasm was just a fleeting passion.
Excited about working in his shop, Li Wu felt he had entered the circle of professional summoners and wanted to impress him.
This situation doesn't require any attention, it's best to leave it be.
A person's enthusiasm has its limits. When one's efforts to burn with passion yield no results, the intensity can last a day or two, or even two to three days, but Lu Wu's enthusiasm will surely run dry.
If he pays attention to Lu Wu, it might backfire, and Lu Wu could end up becoming a nuisance to him.
Indeed, Li Kai's concern is not unfounded.
In fact, Lu Wu's relentless problem-solving is indeed a way to showcase his talent and draw attention to himself.
Lu Wu is well aware that those who can run a shop like this are not ordinary.
This extraordinariness is not merely about one's background; apart from that, Li Kai undoubtedly has a profound understanding of summon beast-related matters.
Furthermore, Lu Wu suspects that Li Kai might even be a Summon Beast Breeder.
With this suspicion in mind, Lu Wu can't help but want to show off.
After all, this is the only way he can find to remove the Summon Beast Breeding now.
Following Lu Wu's script,
With such intense problem-solving and a display of talent, Li Kai would surely be amazed and cry out, begging Lu Wu to become his apprentice.
In a 16-year-old's mind, this would be a perfect scenario!
Lu Wu would feel content.
Not only would he be able to interact with a Summon Beast Breeder, but he might even be able to directly obtain the evolution materials for the Little Skeleton, propelling him to leap forward!
As it turned out, Lu Wu's thoughts were not so simple.
Li Kai, aside from paying attention on the first day, didn't show any further interest in Lu Wu over the next few days.
Although Li Kai noticed Lu Wu's enthusiasm in this area seemed unusually persistent, contrary to his expectation of it being short-lived.
And indeed, Lu Wu seemed to have made some progress over those days.
But so what?
Li Kai still didn't bother with Lu Wu!
Li Kai's personality is inherently reclusive, making him somewhat unapproachable and disinclined to interact with others.
Perhaps Lu Wu was a bit too much for him, but he had no intention of engaging with Lu Wu.
He didn't like inviting trouble.
Therefore, in Li Kai's view, their relationship was best kept simple as that of a boss and employee.
This attitude made Lu Wu feel uncomfortable.
He felt like he had the wrong script!
He even thought that if there were a god writing the script of this world,
that god would be a moron! Why didn't he just blind Li Kai with Lu Wu's talent?
Of course, Lu Wu didn't hold a grudges against Li Kai or thinking he was blind.
After all, it was Lu Wu who placed his expectations on Li Kai, and Li Kai had no obligation to fulfill them.
Moreover, over these days, Lu Wu adjusted his mindset and realized something.
"Aside from that silly girl, no one would be inexplicably kind to others.
So, if you want something from someone, you must be able to give something in return.
That's the truth!"
With this realization, Lu Wu's restless heart settled.
He no longer sought to dazzle Li Kai with his talent, waiting for a windfall to drop into his lap.
Instead, he pulled himself together, grounded himself, and focused on the steps he could take in the present.
