Chapter 185: Legacy Ground
Chapter 185: Legacy Ground
It's here! It's finally here!
Li Wu couldn't contain his excitement.
The legendary plot of being sponsored by a wealthy woman and receiving a province as a gift was about to unfold.
He had called out for his 'mother' and 'godmother' so many times, and now the reward was almost upon him.
However, Li Wu felt he needed to exercise restraint and not appear too eager. He had to feign composure, even if he was bursting with enthusiasm inside.
But then, a thought crossed his mind. What if he played it cool and the wealthy woman decided to push him away, leaving him with nothing?
So, Li Wu decided to hold back, remaining silent. He watched as the wealthy woman, his newly recognized godmother, nodded shyly and timidly.
In his mind, he hoped she would grant him a few hundred thousand credits.
However, Li Wu had clearly underestimated Jiang Yuesheng's generosity. What was a mere few hundred thousand credits? If she was going to give a gift, it would be something truly special.
Jiang Yuesheng toyed with the necklace she had just received, gently tapping the table as she spoke. Gradually, her demeanor shifted, and she exuded an undeniable regal aura, befitting a queen.
"I will give you Jiangnan University!" she declared.
"What?" Li Wu asked, his ears failing him.
"I said, I'm giving you Jiangnan University!" she repeated.
This time, Li Wu heard her loud and clear. His ears weren't playing tricks on him, but he couldn't help but wonder if his new godmother's mind was playing tricks on her.
"Godmother, this is just a joke, right?" he ventured.
"This is no joke!" she replied firmly.
Jiang Yuesheng stopped tapping the table and fixed her gaze on Li Wu.
The girlish shyness and timidity that Li Wu had noticed earlier vanished, replaced by an unquestionable authority and an aura of royalty.
"You have already been admitted to Jiangnan University and will start your studies this year. After you enroll, I want you to compete for the position of Summoner Team Captain at Jiangnan University.
Then, it will be your task to prepare for the Alliance Cup University League next year. I expect you to perform just as brilliantly as you did in the High School League!"
Li Wu finally understood. So, this wealthy woman had given him a task—to compete for the position of Summoner Team Captain.
Assigning tasks was one thing, but giving away a university? Why not just ask him to fly to the moon? Li Wu rolled his eyes internally.
Of course, he dared not show his disdain openly and kept his thoughts to himself.
However, he was bold enough to voice his opinion.
"Well, I've heard that Summoner Team Captains are usually fourth-year students. As a fresh and inexperienced student, I might not stand a chance in the competition."
Jiang Yuesheng glanced at Li Wu, seeing right through his concerns.
"Figuring out how to become a captain and preparing for the league is your responsibility. Overcoming challenges is part of the process."
Li Wu's face darkened slightly. He felt that the wealthy woman was being a bit stingy.
Where was the generosity of the Queen Governor now?
It seemed like she was only interested in making him work without offering any rewards.
Just as Li Wu began to worry about not having any 'grass' to eat, being a hardworking and obedient little 'horse', Jiang Yuesheng suddenly changed the topic.
"Do you know about the benefits for the top three in the High School League?"
Li Wu was taken aback but quickly shook his head, indicating he had no idea.
"The benefits for the top three in the High School League are provided by each province. Here in Jiangnan, the reward for the top three is access to a special secret realm controlled by the Jiangnan Alliance—the Legacy Ground!
Here is some information about the Legacy Ground. Take a look."
Jiang Yuesheng handed Li Wu a stack of documents.
The documents were concise, consisting of only seven or eight pages, totaling around three to four thousand words, along with a map.
Li Wu quickly skimmed through the materials in just a few minutes, committing everything to memory.
As he finished reading, a look of awe appeared on his face.
If it weren't for these documents, he would have never known about such a marvelous secret realm.
The so-called Legacy Ground was, in fact, a mysterious realm filled with altars. It opened only once a year and allowed only nine humans to enter, with no limit on the number of Summoned Beasts, as long as they were below the Leader-class in strength.
The purpose of the Legacy Ground was to enhance the power of Summoned Beasts.
Within the Legacy Ground, each altar was guarded by a Summoned Beast. Once this guardian was defeated, the altar would activate, sacrificing the defeated beast to enhance the quality, strength, and skills of other Summoned Beasts.
Although each Summoned Beast could only undergo this sacrificial enhancement once, the minimum gain was a one-star increase in strength.
The most terrifying story was about a Summoner seven years ago who, after claiming an altar, saw their Summoned Beast's quality jump from Bronze to Gold, and its strength soar from Elite 2-Star to Leader 3-Star, instantly elevating the Summoner to the rank of Professional Breeder.
As Li Wu held the documents in his hands, he realized he, too, had a chance to enter the Legacy Ground. Excitement bubbled within him.
And just as Li Wu's excitement peaked, Jiang Yuesheng handed him another set of documents.
"The information you just read is publicly available. This set, however, contains some additional insights that we in Jiangnan have gathered but don't share with outsiders."
"Li Wu's interest piqued at this, and he eagerly took the documents from Jiang Yuesheng to peruse.
Indeed, the information Jiang Yuesheng presented was far more comprehensive and detailed than the previous set she had shown.
It included the classification of altars by attributes and levels, along with some unique sacrificial postures.
"These altars have attributes and levels, and the act of sacrificing is not as simple as just killing the summoned beast on the altar. That's just the basic step. By adding different elements, the summoned beast can gain much more.
As for what to add, we don't have much detailed information about that. You can research it yourself, especially regarding the sacrifices."
Jiang Yuesheng continued, "The Legacy Ground restricts the number of people who can enter, but it doesn't limit the number of summoned beasts.
Your mental power, after the Little Skeleton reaches 3-star, is already capable of contracting a third summoned beast.
Now, with almost two weeks until the secret realm opens, you can use this time to breed a third summoned beast."
At this point, Jiang Yuesheng finally got Li Wu to pay attention.
She handed him a token engraved with the character 'Zhen'.
"This is the Zhenhai Tower's Logistics Token. You can take this token to the Zhenhai Tower in Fucheng and choose a young summoned beast or a summoning stone."
Li Wu's spirits lifted at this news. He reached out to take the token, his mind already racing with thoughts of what his next summoned beast should be.
He thought to himself, "I've got the Little Skeleton from the land, and the Little Goldfish from the sea. Now, let's get something that flies in the sky!"
Li Wu happily decided on the category of his third summoned beast.
However, he didn't forget his teammates.
"Can I have two more?" he asked.
He wanted to get one for Dudu and, while he was at it, he might as well get one for Old Lin too.
The usually stingy rich lady was surprisingly generous this time, nodding in agreement.
She added, "If you accomplish the task I gave you, I guarantee that you'll become the president of Jiangnan University within ten years, and I'll also provide you with some additional rewards."
After saying this, Jiang Yuesheng didn't elaborate on the other rewards and dismissed Li Wu.
"These leaders, always giving empty checks!" Li Wu grumbled, feeling dissatisfied but knowing there was nothing he could do.
When someone sends you away with a wave, you have no choice but to leave with the token.
Jiang Yuesheng watched as Li Wu left, taking a few glances back at the tokens with a hint of regret. Her expression remained unchanged until Li Wu was out of sight, at which point she pouted, her queenly image crumbling as she muttered like a little girl.
"Do you still expect me to give you benefits? Do you know how much your father owes me? It's not even enough if I skinned him alive!"
When she first met Li Hai Kong, she was more naive and easily deceived.
He sweet-talked her with a few words, took advantage of her kindness, and then ran off, leaving her pitiful and alone.
But now, she had grown, learned to wear masks, and even mastered the art of writing empty checks.
If Li Wu wanted to take advantage of her and get benefits, he'd better start by repaying Li Hai Kong's debt!
"If he can help Jiangnan University get through this crisis, I'll consider it as him repaying one percent of what that guy owes me."
Jiang Yuesheng had made up her mind to have Li Wu repay Li Hai Kong's debt.
Li Wu could basically forget about any other rewards.
Of course, this wasn't set in stone. If Li Wu could bring Li Hai Kong over, he might still get a reward of eight hundred thousand credits.
Fortunately, Li Wu was unaware of this, or he might have immediately started plotting how to sell out his father for a quick fortune.
Sadly, Li Wu didn't know, so he missed the chance to become rich overnight and, at the same time, get slapped by his father.
After leaving Jiang Yuesheng, Li Wu, holding the token, immediately sought out Dudu, who was being protected by the Little Skeleton and strictly forbidden from having any male creatures within a meter's distance.
It was only after Dudu became more attractive that Li Wu revealed his true nature as a jealous pot.
Especially after experiencing two consecutive incidents of the entire arena salivating over his wife, Li Wu felt like everyone was trying to steal her away.
Now, if anyone dared to glance at Dudu, or come within two meters of her, Li Wu was ready to throw bricks.
He even considered making Dudu gain weight to deter any unwanted attention.
It's worth mentioning that this idea wasn't original to Li Wu. It was subtly planted by Dudu's mother when she was slim.
Previously, Li Wu found the plump Dudu cute, but he preferred the sexier slim version.
However, now, as a jealous pot, he felt that it was better to have a chubbier wife to deter unwanted attention.
But now, as a jealous pot, he felt that it was better to have a chubbier wife to deter unwanted attention.
As for Dudu, she was indifferent to her weight, lacking any strong opinions. Whatever Li Wu said was right in her eyes!
