Chapter 186: Choosing the Summoned Beast Baby

Chapter 186: Choosing the Summoned Beast Baby

Li Wu didn't want to delay the matter of selecting a Summoned Beast baby.

After all, there were only about two weeks left before entering the Legacy Ground.

He had to quickly tame a Summoned Beast and cultivate the third one within two weeks.

Otherwise, it might miss this opportunity.

So, after returning to the rest room, Li Wu prepared to leave with his teammates.

However, when he came back, he found that Lin Jianying wasn't in the rest room?

"Where did Old Lin go? Did he go to the bathroom again?"

Li Wu asked casually, but he didn't expect Dudu to nod in agreement.

Li Wu was speechless.

Was he suffering from kidney deficiency? Why was he always running to the bathroom? Just as he was wondering whether to go look for him, Old Lin returned, looking somewhat displeased.

Li Wu was taken aback and subconsciously glanced at the Goblin's status.

The goblin's thoughts: (My master has encountered that weirdo again. That weirdo is so annoying; he makes my master so sad.)



Li Wu frowned upon seeing the goblin's status.

Is that guy ever going to stop? He's targeting Old Lin, isn't he? How does Old Lin always run into him in the bathroom? It seems like I must teach him a lesson!

Li Wu thought this way and acted accordingly, telling Old Lin to wait for a moment while he took the Little Skeleton to find the weirdo.

However, he arrived too late; by the time he got there, the person had already left. Helpless, Li Wu could only return disappointed.

After returning, Li Wu gave Lin Jianying a heartfelt lecture.

He advised him that when outside, he must protect himself well. If he encounters any weirdos or anything, he shouldn't be afraid and should bravely resist!

The confused Lin Jianying was left stunned by Li Wu's words.

It was unclear how much he understood, but after Li Wu's lecture, Lin Jianying's mood seemed to have brightened considerably.

After comforting and advising Lin Jianying, Li Wu no longer delayed. He led his two teammates, and with Li Kai's transportation, they headed towards the 'Zhenhai Tower' in Fucheng.

...

'Zhenhai Tower'

Its name suggests a tower, but it is actually a military fortress of the Summoner Legion.

It is also an important military system in Jiangnan, specifically responsible for guarding the sea. The headquarters in Fucheng oversees the entire Zhenhai Tower system in Jiangnan.

Such a place, of course, is not one that can be entered casually.

Before Li Wu and his teammates even got close, they were intercepted by the Zhenhai Tower personnel. Even after Li Wu presented the token, they didn't immediately allow entry but instead took about ten minutes to verify before letting Li Wu and his group in.

Li Kai, who was in charge of transportation, was even left outside.

As soon as Li Wu and his two teammates entered the Zhenhai Tower, a colonel in a uniform and cloak, exuding a scholarly aura, approached them.

Upon his arrival, his eyes fell on Li Wu, and he introduced himself.

"I am Colonel Jiang Tianyang from the Observation Department of Zhenhai Tower, and I'm also your cousin!"

"Cousin?"

"The governor is my aunt!"

Jiang Tianyang patted his chest, feeling especially proud and boastful, giving off a sense of 'my relative is so-and-so.'

After speaking, his eyes fell on Dudu.

Even though Dudu wore a uniform and hid her face, anyone could tell that she was a beautiful girl.

The more this kind of girl tried to conceal herself, the more mysterious and curious she became. Jiang Tianyang couldn't help but take a few more glances, but after just a few looks, Li Wu blocked his way.

Although he didn't say it, his face clearly conveyed, 'What are you looking at?' and he seemed ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Jiang Tianyang immediately raised his hands in surrender.

"Okay, okay, I won't look. I won't look anymore, all right?"

"Let's go. I'll take you to the Logistics Department!"

Saying this, he turned and led the way, taking Li Wu and the others to the Logistics Department of Zhenhai Tower.

Along the way, this guy kept talking, constantly finding topics to chat with Li Wu.

He seemed particularly curious about his aunt's sudden appearance as a new relative.

Li Wu, on the other hand, was also curious about his newly acquired mother.

So, as long as Jiang Tianyang didn't look at his wife, Li Wu could still have a good conversation with him.

Through Jiang Tianyang's words, Li Wu learned more about Jiang Yuesxing.

Based on her appearance and previous emotional fluctuations, Li Wu had estimated that Jiang Yuesxing was in her thirties.

However, during their conversation, he received surprising news.

Jiang Yuesxing was at least sixty years old, and she might even be older.

When Li Wu heard this news, his mind went blank.

He had thought his rich lady was younger than others, but in the end, he discovered that his own rich lady was also in her sixties. His mood became complex.

Li Wu also learned some details about his father.

Er, not Li Hai Kong, but Jiang Yuesxing's husband.

Jiang Tianyang didn't know much about this either. He only knew that they had been married for only a few days before Jiang Yuesxing's husband entered a secret realm, and he hadn't returned home for many years.

Hearing this, Li Wu couldn't help but shake his head.

That guy was also quite carefree. His rich lady was an old rich lady, but she didn't look her age at all. Despite being so charming and alluring, that guy had been away for a decade or more.

Li Wu felt that the guy was either dead or had run off with someone else.

But in Li Wu's opinion, either way, the guy was a scumbag.

The reason his rich lady was randomly adopting sons was because of this guy's actions.

If that guy had been a good man like Li Wu or even like his father, staying faithful, returning home on time, and having a child with his rich lady, she wouldn't have randomly adopted sons.

However, after thinking about it, Li Wu felt that calling her 'dry mom' a few times wasn't a bad deal. After all, he had gained three Summoned Beasts in exchange.

Lu Wu felt a sense of self-satisfaction, or perhaps he was merely consoling himself.

Jiang Tianyang, who was walking ahead, called out, "We're here. This is the Summoning Beast Nursery Zone of the Zhenhai Tower's Logistics Department."

"This area is divided into two parts. One is the Nursery Zone, and the other is the Summoning Stone and Summoning Egg Storage Zone. Which one do you want to go to first?"

The former was more straightforward. The summoned beasts were mostly ready-made, and most of their qualities had already been appraised, so they just needed to make a choice.

Finding a hidden gem would be difficult, and it was unlikely to find any significant surprises.

The latter might offer surprises, but it would be more troublesome.

"Let's go to the Nursery Zone first!"

If they found a suitable one, they could take it with them, and if not, they could then check the other side.

"Alright, let's go!"

Jiang Tianyang led Lu Wu and the others into the Nursery Zone after swiping their cards.

The Nursery Zone of the Zhenhai Tower's Logistics Department resembled a zoo.

Different summoned beast pups were separated into different areas.

Lu Wu and the others could see five major zones: the Beast Form Zone, Humanoid Form Zone, Undead Zone, Demon Zone, and Plant Zone.

However, there weren't many summoned beast babies in the Undead and Demon Zones, so in reality, there were only three major zones.

Lu Wu had a clear goal; he wanted one that could fly.

As for Lin Jianying and Dudu, Lin Jianying's goal was also clear; he wanted a demon-type summoned beast. Dudu's goal was even more straightforward; wherever Lu Wu went, she would follow, and whatever Lu Wu chose, she would choose as well.

"Let's go to the Demon Zone first and see if we can find one for Old Lin."

With their purpose in mind, the group, led by a staff member from the Logistics Zone, headed towards the Demon Zone.

"So, you don't even know your way around here?" Lu Wu couldn't help but smirk at the situation.

"I don't usually come here, so how could I possibly know my way around?" Jiang Tianyang shrugged.

Lu Wu's expression turned cold, "Since you're not of any use here, why are you still following us?"

As he spoke, Lu Wu's face was filled with vigilance, and he pulled Dudu closer to him.

He now felt like everyone in the world was trying to snatch his wife away, and it was time to send Jiang Tianyang packing.

"Do you think I want to be here? After you choose a summoned beast, I'll still have to handle the paperwork!"

"Fine, then. You stand next to Old Lin!"

Lu Wu reluctantly allowed him to follow, but he kept a certain distance between them.

Jiang Tianyang clenched his teeth, barely holding back a burst of blood. He swore that if Lu Wu wasn't his aunt's adopted son, he would twist the guy's head off.

Lu Wu acted like he had never seen a girl before, as if he were some sort of pervert.

What Jiang Tianyang couldn't stand even more was that the girl, Dudu, seemed to think Lu Wu's behavior was perfectly fine.

Looking at the two of them being so affectionate, Jiang Tianyang felt like setting them on fire.

After a while, the group arrived at the Demon Zone.

It must be said that the Zhenhai Tower's Demon-type summoned beasts were indeed few. The entire zone had only 7 varieties, totaling 38 in all, which averaged to just over 4 per variety.

The keeper in this zone gave Lu Wu's group a brief introduction as they arrived.

"This zone has a total of 38 babies. Among them, there are 13 Bronze Rank and 27 Black Iron Rank."

While the keeper was introducing the babies, Lu Wu was scanning them with the hope of finding a hidden gem.

After scanning all 38 summoned beast babies, Lu Wu realized that their attributes were mostly consistent with the keeper's introduction, and even if there were discrepancies, they weren't significant.

Upon reflection, this situation was normal. After all, they were in the Zhenhai Tower's Logistics Department.

This was the headquarters of the strongest military power in Jiangnan, and how could they possibly have overlooked any hidden gems in their own territory?

"Let's go check out other places. Since we're here, we shouldn't just pick one randomly.

Besides, you need a demon-type, but that doesn't mean the second one has to be demon-type too. You can choose a different type for the third one!"

After making a full circle, Lu Wu spoke to the hesitant Lin Jianying.

Lin Jianying was still undecided, but Lu Wu pulled him away.

After that, Lu Wu and the others continued their tour of the Nursery Zone.

They spent several hours and managed to inspect all 1,221 summoned beast babies in the remaining zones.

After the inspection, Lu Wu felt a bit disappointed as he hadn't found any that he liked.

What puzzled Lu Wu even more was that among these 1,221 summoned beasts, there wasn't a single one with a quality above Silver Rank.

"Is your Zhenhai Tower so poor? Or are you too stingy to bring out Silver Rank or higher summoned beast babies?"

Lu Wu felt that the latter was more likely the case.

After all, Zhenhai Tower was the top dog in the Jiangnan military system, and it was unlikely that they had such a small pool of summoned beasts.

It was clear that they were just being stingy.

This furthered Lu Wu's understanding of his family's frugality.

"I knew it. She agreed to give me three so easily because she was waiting for me here!" Lu Wu muttered to himself.

At that moment, Jiang Tianyang asked, "Did you find anything suitable? Or do you want to check out the other side?"

"Let's go check out the other side!"

Lu Wu had come all this way, so he couldn't just leave without checking the other side. He decided to go and see if there were any surprises. If not, at least he could take a look at the Bronze Rank summoned beasts.
