Chapter 193: The Eccentric

Chapter 193: The Eccentric

Fucheng, Li Wu's Grand Manor.

Li Wu had just sent his underlings to gather even more subordinates.

But before even half an hour had passed, he hadn't heard back from them, and instead, Jiang Yuesheng's call came through.

The Queen's icy voice asked, "Are you trying to fly too close to the sun?"

Li Wu, confused, replied, "Huh?"

The Queen, irritated, repeated, "Are you trying to fly too close to the sun?"

Li Wu, perplexed, asked, "What do you mean?"

The Queen exploded, "You're taking those hundreds of Little Goldfish's Summoned Beasts into the city! Do you want to cause chaos in Fucheng?!

Do you know how much trouble this will bring to the city?"

Li Wu understood and whispered in defense, "I was just thinking, since we're going to the Legacy Ground tomorrow, I wanted to bring more subordinates to boost my strength and be more helpful to you in the future."

"The best help you can give me is to stop causing trouble!

Immediately, send those fish back where they came from, or I'll have them all turned into fish head soup!"

Li Wu could hear Jiang Yuesheng's clenched fists on the other end of the line, and he quickly surrendered.

"Okay, okay, I'll send them back right away.

Please don't be angry, it's not good for your health, and it can make you age faster!"

"If you truly care about me, come to the Governor's Mansion now, and let me do something good for your health!"

Li Wu didn't dare go; he knew that if he went now, he'd be beaten to a pulp.

So he quickly said a few nice words and hung up the phone.

"This stingy rich lady is really something, getting so worked up over such a small matter.

Well, now my plan to sweep through the Legacy Ground with hundreds of subordinates is bankrupt before it even started."

Li Wu felt helpless.

He had no choice but to send the Little Skeleton on his pig to have Little Goldfish send the subordinates back.

Meanwhile, at the Governor's Mansion.

After Jiang Yuesheng hung up, she was still fuming.

However, her anger wasn't entirely directed at Li Wu.

Or rather, her anger wasn't solely triggered by Li Wu; it was provoked by a woman she described as 'shameless'.

Li Wu had the misfortune of being caught in the crossfire.

After venting at Li Wu, Jiang Yuesheng felt much better.

Her usually stern face and furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

This noticeable change didn't escape the white-clad woman by her side, even if she was blind.

This surprised the white-clad woman.

Usually, when Jiang Yuesheng was provoked by that person, she would feel upset for several days. But today, she recovered so quickly, and there was even a hint of satisfaction in her expression.

What was going on? After being bullied like this, what did she have to be proud of?

Could it be because Li Wu had provoked her?

The white-clad woman sensed something fishy.

At that moment, Jiang Yuesheng's phone rang again; it was Li Wu calling.

Jiang Yuesheng's lips curled into a smile as she answered, and Li Wu cautiously said on the other end, "Um, I won't bring hundreds, but can I bring a few dozen?"

"No! Get lost!"

As she spoke, Jiang Yuesheng hung up, and her smile widened.

The white-clad woman was now certain; she had removed the word 'feeling' from her assessment! There was definitely something fishy going on between Jiang Yuesheng and Li Wu!

...

On Li Wu's end, his final request was rejected, and his face fell.

He had wanted to use this opportunity to show off in front of others.

Leading hundreds of Summoned Beasts out would have been so impressive!

But now, he saw no hope for that.

So, he lost all motivation.

"Forget it, forget it, I'll sleep and go to the dungeon tomorrow to level up."

With that, Li Wu lay down on the bed to sleep but couldn't due to his pent-up frustration.

So, he picked up his phone, opened the intranet, and browsed.

...

Account Nickname: I Want to Be a Sea King

Account Credits: 23333

Uploaded Breeding Plans: Little Skeleton Training Manual Series, Little Skeleton Soup Series, Goblin Injection Series

Uploaded Training Plans: 97

...

Looking at his account credits, Li Wu pouted.

"Two weeks, and the ad revenue is almost gone.

But it's still good; the ad revenue from the High School League, especially the semifinals and finals, is estimated to be nearly 2000 when added together.

This revenue far exceeded my expectations."

Indeed, Li Wu's account credits on the surface were only in the thousands, but in the past two weeks, his account credits had once peaked at over 10,000.

However, he had spent most of that 10,000.

He spent it on raising the three little ones and preparing for tomorrow's Legacy Ground.

And this 10,000 credits were well spent.

Aside from the preparations for the Legacy Ground tomorrow, the progress of the three little ones in the past two weeks was remarkable.

Within two weeks, with dedicated resource investment, the trio of creatures had their strength boosted to the 2-star level. Each had acquired certain skills, significantly enhancing their combat prowess.

Especially the bird from the Lu Wu family, this Hahahaa, Lu Wu now dared not fight it anymore. If he did, he'd only get a beating.

This Hahahaa no longer even deigned to look at Lu Wu. Its attitude towards Lu Wu was consistently:

Pride (Human, I've grown stronger. You're no longer my match!)



Every time Lu Wu saw this, his anger surged uncontrollably.

Hahahaa, having eaten and drunk at Lu Wu's expense, had the audacity to mock and taunt him.

Could Lu Wu tolerate this? Absolutely not! So, every time he saw this attitude, Lu Wu would use his authority as the master to immobilize it and then use it as a punching bag.

But the outcome was often the same: the more Lu Wu hit it, the more excited and happy it became.

After the beating, Lu Wu would be exhausted, while it remained energetic and its attitude changed.

Disappointment (Is that all?)



Lu Wu couldn't help but feel the urge to grab the bird and give it a good thrashing.

"I mustn't think about this, I mustn't think about this. If I do, I'll get itchy to act!"

Just as Lu Wu's blood boiled, a new email notification chimed. He opened his inbox and saw it was from the research center in Jiangbei.

As expected, the content was a rejection of Lu Wu's previously submitted Bone Boar breeding plan. The reason stated was that the plan was immature, and the breeder was unwilling to cooperate with the research center's verification process.

Lu Wu didn't bother arguing.

After all, this was an anticipated outcome. Jiangbei's rejection was just a rejection; he would resubmit it for Fucheng to handle.

However, Lu Wu checked the time; it was already the wee hours of the morning.

Tomorrow morning, they had to enter the dungeon, and at this hour, Zhao Kai Ming, Zhang Wentao, and the other old men should already be asleep. Disturbing them would be inappropriate.

"Forget it, I'll deal with this after the dungeon run."

Saying this, Lu Wu put down his phone, grabbed the bird, and took the phone from the little skeleton sitting by his bed, watching videos.

He skillfully opened a secure app on the little skeleton's phone, found his diary, and wrote:

"June 14th

The Jiangbei Breeding Center rejected my plan.

That guy Jiangbei Feng still owes me 50,000 credits.

My Rich Lady won't let my little brother's little brother enter. I, Lu Wu, have noted these grudges.

Finally, tomorrow we're entering the dungeon.

If all goes well, I'll be a professional-level existence after this.

Exciting!"

After writing, Lu Wu locked his diary, returned the phone to the little skeleton, who was eagerly watching by the bed.

He added, like an old father, "No more playing. Get some rest early; we have things to do tomorrow!"

The little skeleton responded:

Pride (Doesn't Lu Wu know? Little skeletons don't need sleep!)



Lu Wu pointed at the bird. "You don't need sleep, but this Hahahaa does. It has important matters tomorrow!"

The little skeleton's eyes flashed with mischief. It picked up the bird, then slapped it on the back of its head, knocking the Hahahaa unconscious.

Clever (Look, the Hahahaa is asleep! Can the little skeleton play with the phone now?)



"You're quite the little clever one!"

Lu Wu laughed, patted the little guy's head, and then left it to its devices as he lay down to sleep.

One must admit, humans' adaptability is truly terrifying.

Initially, when the little skeleton first emerged, Lu Wu couldn't sleep at night, and the little skeleton had to sadly face the wall.

Now, the little skeleton sits by Lu Wu's bed, and Lu Wu sleeps soundly.

One might even say that the little skeleton has become a sleep aid for Lu Wu. Without it by his side, Lu Wu might not sleep at all.

Watching the little skeleton play on his phone by the bed, Lu Wu smiled and quickly drifted into dreamland.

After Lu Wu fell asleep, the little skeleton playing on the phone suddenly stopped, turned to look at Lu Wu, and then at the Hahahaa.

Confirming that the bird was truly unconscious, the little skeleton covered Lu Wu with a blanket! Although Lu Wu had stripped the little skeleton of the right to cover him with a blanket after almost catching a cold once, the little skeleton hadn't compromised on this matter.

Every night, it would secretly cover Lu Wu with a blanket.

This was its favorite thing to do, even more enjoyable than playing with a phone, so it wouldn't listen to Lu Wu about this.

As long as Lu Wu didn't know, the little skeleton never covered him with a blanket!

Recently, the little skeleton had become somewhat dissatisfied with covering the blanket because it had just learned a new trick called 'bed warming' from the TV.

It found it very interesting.

It just hadn't found a suitable opportunity to practice it yet.

Because Lu Wu would wake up.

Every time this happened, the little skeleton would think that if Lu Wu could be knocked out like Hahahaa, it would be great. This way, it could cover Lu Wu with as many blankets and warm the bed as many times as it wanted without being discovered.

Well, Lu Wu never knew that the nights after he fell asleep were so terrifying.

...

A peaceful night passed without incident.

The next morning, Lu Wu and his team woke up early.

After a quick tidy up, Li Kai drove them towards the Governor's Mansion.

Only the Governor's Mansion knew the entrance to the Legacy Ground, and they had to gather there and set off together.

Lu Wu originally thought they would be the earliest team, but he didn't expect that when they arrived, Squad 044 and Squad 003 were already there.

However, this was quite normal. Lu Wu and his team lived in the suburbs, while Squad 044 and Squad 003 stayed in nearby hotels.

Even if they got up late, they could still arrive early.

The three squads met again after half a month, and they all turned their attention to the people they were interested in.

The person who interested them the most was, of course, Dudu.

Who else but Dudu?

No one would stare at Lu Wu, a grown man, all the time. If they wanted to look, they would look at Dudu.

After all, Dudu was the only girl among the nine members of the three squads.

Moreover, when she appeared at the awards ceremony, even though she wore a mask and loose clothing, and on a hot day, she was covered from head to toe, but they could still sense the aura of a goddess.

So, the people present looked at Dudu first, and when they did, they realized that Dudu wasn't wearing a mask anymore.

At first, they were quite excited, but soon they were all stunned.

What was going on?

Who was this fat Dudu?

Where was the goddess?

Where was the goddess from the awards ceremony?

Lu Wu watched as they doubted themselves, and his slight smile as he turned away indicated that he was very satisfied with this effect.

Sure enough, a fat wife was less attractive.

But when he saw Dudu like this, he also felt a sense of loss.

Although the plump Dudu wasn't unattractive and could even be considered cute, it was no match for her peak beauty! But when it came to Dudu's weight, Lu Wu really couldn't do anything.

The weight would definitely increase after using the skill.

Fortunately, the weight limit had been decreasing.

When Lu Wu first came, Dudu's weight limit was close to 200, and after one skill awakening, the weight limit dropped to 180.

The second time the skill triggered, the weight limit decreased to 160, and this time it reached 140.

Following this pattern, after two more times, Dudu would be able to maintain her peak beauty.

Additionally, Lu Wu noticed that every time the skill triggered, Dudu's peak beauty would further improve.

When Dudu reached her peak beauty for the third time, she was clearly much more beautiful than the first time.

If this happened a few more times, Dudu would truly become a goddess.

With this thought, Lu Wu felt a mix of disappointment and anticipation.

As for Squad 044 and Squad 003.

After they pulled their gaze away from Dudu, they started looking at other things.

For example, Lu Wu, or the new Summoned Beast in Lu Wu's team.

Wang Jun's gaze went from the Hellhound to the Green Cub and finally settled on Hahahaa, the fluffy creature by Lu Wu's side.

Lu Wu also noticed that Squad 044 and Squad 003 both had new Summoned Beasts, except for one member of Squad 003.

Lu Wu recognized this one; it was the same one that the Goblin had identified in the bathroom, bullying Lin Jianying."

What made Lu Wu frown was that this guy was staring at Lin Jianying at that moment.

He made Lin Jianying feel so uncomfortable that he couldn't help but stare.

Lu Wu was immediately unhappy. "Damn it! You dare to bully my man in front of me?"

Without another word, he kicked the guy.

"Is that enough? Do you believe I'll twist your head off if you look again?"

...

Another 4000 points. He felt he had grown a lot.
