Chapter 188: King-Grade Quality
Chapter 188: King-Grade Quality
As the two summoning arrays operated at full force, a so-called 'big shot' was also paying close attention.
This big shot was Jin Lili, the Logistics Department Head of Zhenhai Tower.
He was in control of the entire logistics system of Zhenhai Tower in Jiangnan Province.
Such a figure was considered a big shot not only in Zhenhai Tower but also in the entire Jiangnan Province.
This big shot, Jin Lili, had initially shown no interest in Li Wu or Jiang Tianyang's group, even knowing who was backing them.
He wouldn't have secretly kept an eye on them, no matter who they were connected to.
Previously, when Jiang Yuesheng called and asked him to arrange three Summoned Beast Pups for her adopted son), he didn't take it seriously and just casually told his subordinates to deal with it.
After all, Jiang Yuesheng was the Governor, but she had only held that position for a few years.
Moreover, during these years, Jiangnan had been weakening, starting from the High School League, and had been crushed in all aspects, causing Jiang Yuesheng's prestige to decline.
In Jiangnan, there weren't many places where Jiang Yuesheng could exert her influence.
And Zhenhai Tower was definitely not a place she could meddle in.
However, Jin Lili hadn't expected his subordinates to be more capable than he thought.
When he heard that they were dealing with it, they directly removed all Summoned Beasts above Silver rank and left only Bronze ones.
Jin Lili was somewhat astonished by this, but he didn't think much of it.
Three Bronze-rank beasts were already good enough and showed great respect for Jiang Yuesheng.
In Jin Lili's view, there were only two possible outcomes.
One was Li Wu leaving with the Bronze-rank pups, and the other was Li Wu storming off in anger.
He wouldn't be surprised by either outcome, and he could handle both. At most, it would be Jiang Yuesheng questioning him, which wasn't a big deal.
However, Jin Lili was surprised when Li Wu didn't choose either option and instead found two trash items in the warehouse's trash pile.
Even this didn't bother Jin Lihai.
What truly caught his attention was Li Wu's next move: he directly spent over 5,000 credits to purchase all the Wood Essence from their side.
This was unexpected for Jin Lili.
He took a look at the identity of Jiang Yuesheng's adopted son, and he realized that the boy was extraordinary.
Not only was he the High School League Champion, but he was also a genius breeder, and most importantly, he seemed to be the successor favored by the Jiangnan University group.
The Summoned Beast Pup he had coveted before ended up in his hands.
After learning this information, Jin Lili couldn't help but start paying attention to Li Wu's situation.
As he looked at the two summoning arrays, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Could it be that he really found a treasure in our warehouse's trash pile?"
Just as he was muttering, one of the summoning arrays completed its summon.
A black Summoned Beast appeared on the array.
Jin Lili stared at the beast, his eyes narrowing.
His face turned grim.
On Li Wu's side, those who were expecting to see Li Wu's embarrassment were stunned when they saw the little creature in the summoning array.
They were all wide-eyed and speechless.
Those who were less educated had already started cursing.
They recognized the little creature on the array, having seen it in various films, TV shows, or in the bestiary.
Li Wu's side had already discerned its attributes as soon as the little creature appeared.
...
Name: Hellhound Pup (Green Cub)
Strength: 1-Star (Ordinary)
Quality: Golden (Improved)
Attributes: Nether Flame, Demon
Status: Dazed (Feeling Cute)
Weakness: Light
Skills: Nether Flame (Skilled), Bite (Skilled)
Description: A pup of exceptional quality
...
Li Wu quite liked the attributes of the little creature.
"A Golden-rank Hellhound Pup with Demon attributes, it's yours!"
When Li Wu said this, he actually wanted to pick up the cute little creature, rub its head, and then throw it to Lin Jianying.
But considering the actual combat difference, Li Wu thought the other party might find him cute too, and if he opened his mouth, he'd be in trouble. So, Li Wu had to give up this tempting idea.
Instead, he waved his hand in a gesture that looked carefree to him but was incredibly cool to the onlookers.
Those who had expected to see Li Wu's embarrassment now had eyes filled with envy.
Damn, this was a Golden-rank Summoned Beast, the Hellhound, which, with proper nurturing, would become a Lord-level beast without fail.
With some luck, it could even go further. Was Li Wu really giving away such a creature?
Wasn't this a bit too generous? At this moment, Jin Lili's face turned darker.
After all, in his view, Li Wu was spending his money!
A Golden-rank Summoned Beast, and it was a Hellhound Pup, one of the best breeds. This was the cream of the crop in the Logistics Department.
Even if Li Wu had Jiang Yuesheng's token, Jin Lili might not have been willing to give it up.
He now felt an urge to rush down and snatch the pup, but he restrained himself.
It wasn't so much that he feared Jiang Yuesheng, but rather, he was curious about another Summoning Array and the Summoned Beast within.
For Lu Wu to willingly spend 5,000 Credits and be so eager to summon it, this Summoned Beast was clearly of a higher quality than the Hellhound.
A Summoned Beast of a higher rank than Golden?
Could it be of the same level as the previous one?
At this thought, Jin Lili couldn't help but breathe heavily.
If it was indeed of that level, there was no way he would let Lu Wu take this Summoned Beast Baby, even if Jiang Yuesheng himself showed up!
As he said this, everyone's attention turned to the still-active Summoning Array, no one being foolish enough to miss this.
After the Hellhound emerged, those who had come to see Lu Wu's embarrassment quickly changed their minds.
Now, they wanted to know what level of Summoned Beast Lu Wu would summon, having spent over 5,000 Credits while Jiang Yuesheng didn't spend a dime.
And they didn't have to wait long.
Soon after the Hellhound appeared, the withered seed in the remaining active Summoning Array began to transform.
A 1691 book, a look without mistake!
The shriveled seed, once parched and lifeless, started greedily absorbing the Wood Essence from the container.
The container held over 5,000 Credits worth of Wood Essence, and its level visibly dropped by a shallow layer.
Simultaneously, the shriveled seed quickly plumped up and emitted a faint emerald glow.
As the emerald glow intensified, the rate of Wood Essence depletion skyrocketed.
Within minutes, the Wood Essence was depleted by a third.
At this point, the seed grew from its original rice grain size to the size of a fist.
Then, a crackling sound echoed, and a fissure appeared on the seed.
This crack tightened everyone's hearts, even Jin Lili held his breath, fearing a failed summoning.
Fortunately, Lu Wu's luck held.
The fissure in the seed wasn't a sign of failure but of success.
In an instant, as the crack appeared, the remaining two-thirds of the Wood Essence rapidly decreased to a shallow layer.
At the same time, the fissure expanded and shattered the seed in a flash.
As the seed shattered, a calming aura spread.
Within ten meters of the Summoning Array, all wooden items sprouted tender shoots.
"Resurrection of Withered Trees!
This is the birth of a Royal-grade Summoned Beast Baby!"
Those with some experience couldn't help but exclaim.
Typically, when a Royal-grade or higher Summoned Beast is born, there are phenomena unless someone deliberately conceals it.
Lu Wu quickly noticed the attributes of the green, fluffy creature that emerged from the seed.
...
Name: Green Cub
Strength: 2-Star (Ordinary)
Quality: Royal-grade (Elevated)
Attribute: Wood
Status: Joy (Man, are you my Master?)
Weakness: Fire
Basic Skills: Heal (Master) Recovery (Proficient)
Description: What are you looking at? It's talking about you!
...
When Lu Wu saw the Royal-grade quality of Green Cub, he immediately thought of his pet goldfish.
Since the Royal-grade quality was evident, the goldfish's quality was clearly above Royal-grade.
But soon, Lu Wu's attention shifted away from the goldfish.
After all, he wasn't a monster, and he couldn't keep thinking about goldfish.
He should focus on the green ball of fluff.
"This fluff ball is obviously support-oriented and not very suitable for me. Let Dudu make the contract."
Anyway, Dudu is his favorite.
As for whether it's Dudu's or not, don't ask to save everyone the trouble.
Just as Lu Wu prepared to retrieve the green ball, which was waiting for him to embrace it, a figure suddenly appeared.
This person was particularly carefree and shameless, grabbing the green fluff ball before Lu Wu could.
After grabbing the green ball, Jin Lili turned to Lu Wu without regard for the fluff's resistance: "Sorry, due to staff negligence, they put my personal item in the trash. I'm glad you helped me find it.
I'm sincerely grateful!"
At these words, Lu Wu's eyes narrowed instantly.
Though taken aback, he reacted swiftly, ready to confront the receptionist.
"You claim it's your personal item. Then, I'd like you to explain why it was in the warehouse? According to..."
Before Lu Wu could finish, Jin Lili had already grabbed the Hellhound too.
Then, with a mocking tone, he added, "This is mine too!"
Lu Wu's face turned iron-blue; it was the first time he witnessed such shamelessness.
There was nothing he could do now but use his ultimate move.
"Old Jiang, call your aunt!"
