Chapter 206: Lu Wu's Troubles
Chapter 206: Lu Wu's Troubles
Lu Wu's side of the story unfolds.
Initially, when he heard about Kong Yi's situation, he was quite anxious, even expecting to get beaten up.
After all, only by enduring beatings could he become stronger and gain a sense of security.
But amidst his anxiety, Lu Wu couldn't let fear consume him.
Besides, didn't he have Dudu by his side? Spending time with Dudu would alleviate his fear of Kong Yi, especially since Kong Yi couldn't harm Dudu within the Legacy Ground. Moreover, Li Kai was also on his side.
His Uncle Li was no pushover; his Big Bear was almost at the Lord level, and with further advancement, he'd be a Master-level expert. Having him as a guardian gave Lu Wu a sense of security.
So, shortly after Jiang Yuesheng's departure, Lu Wu adjusted his mindset.
He focused on what needed to be done.
Having just emerged from the dungeon, Lu Wu felt that the most pressing task was to review his gains from the dungeon.
Yes, that's what he thought, and that's what he did.
First, in terms of strength enhancement:
"My Little Skeleton and Little Goldfish have both reached Leader 2-Star, and I've achieved a Professional rank.
The rest of my teammates are also at the Leader rank.
As for Dudu, she's reached Professional, Tuan Tuan is Leader 1-Star, and Greenie is almost there but is already Elite 3-Star.
Lao Lin is similar to Dudu, but his dog is a bit behind at only Elite 1-Star.
The system has also been upgraded, and I can now see the attributes of Summoned Beasts within a 20-meter radius, including those of Professional Summoners."
Next, regarding items:
There wasn't much to report in this area, except that Lu Wu obtained an Outreach Token.
"By the way, I initially spent nearly 10,000 points on items for sacrifice, but now they're not needed. Also, the Little Skeleton's phone has detailed photos of several Altars, which can be used for future research."
As he took stock of his gains, especially realizing he had saved nearly 10,000 points, Lu Wu's mood significantly improved.
After reviewing his rewards, Lu Wu turned his attention to planning his next steps.
Lu Wu contemplated and listed the tasks he needed to accomplish:
"One is to research the Little Skeleton and its companions, and the other is the task Rich Lady assigned to me.
Additionally, there's the matter of the 50,000 points Jiang Beifeng owes me, and the Boneless Wild Pig training program."
"Among these tasks, the latter two are minor; the important ones are the first two."
Although Rich Lady's task was imposed on Lu Wu, he felt that she had treated him well during their time together.
Consequently, he took her assignment seriously.
After listing these tasks, Lu Wu began to work, prioritizing Rich Lady's task while considering the Little Skeleton's evolution as a secondary focus. He started planning for the upcoming period.
"Rich Lady's task is to become the Team Captain of Jiangnan University's team and participate in next year's University League.
This will likely involve two steps. First, I need to figure out how to become the captain.
Should I use force to achieve this? Or is there another way? I'll need to find out."
Lu Wu didn't intend to figure this out by himself. After all, he had a sidekick for such tasks.
He contacted Zhao Kaiding and consulted him on the matter.
The information he received was surprising; the task was unexpectedly simple.
Lu Wu had assumed he'd need to go through countless trials to defeat the current captain and become the team leader, but to his surprise, Zhao Kaiding immediately offered a solution.
"This is a minor issue. Leave it to me, Zhao Kaiding. I'll tell you, I have some influence at Jiangnan University. Such a small matter is easy for me; I can get it done in no time!"
Lu Wu believed Zhao Kaiding's confident words.
He trusted that the matter was settled and stopped worrying about becoming the team leader. Instead, he began preparing for the tasks that would follow.
Meanwhile, Lu Wu, being an active individual, decided to make use of this idle time.
He recalled having two minor tasks pending.
Lu Wu planned to address these tasks.
He made a call to Zhang Wentao, instructing the Fucheng side to make preparations. Then, he turned to his computer and re-uploaded the initial version of the Boneless Wild Pig training program.
The system indicated that the program was under review.
Lu Wu, familiar with the process, didn't worry about the review.
During the review period, Lu Wu called Jiang Beifeng to inquire about the 50,000 points.
After the competition, Lu Wu had been busy with the Legacy Ground matters, and the debt of 50,000 points had been outstanding for over two weeks. Lu Wu felt it was time to collect.
The call connected, and Lu Wu immediately confronted Jiang Beifeng: "Hello, Jiang Beifeng, you mentioned that you'd provide the 50,000 points within a week, but it's been half a month with no news. Are you planning to default on this debt?"
"Let me tell you, we signed an agreement on the intranet, and you can't shirk this debt. If you don't pay up, I'll have to take legal action!"
The tone was particularly assertive!
However, when the person on the other end spoke, Li Wu was left dumbfounded.
"Are you Li Wu?"
It was a middle-aged man's voice, polite and courteous, but it wasn't North Jiang Wind's.
Li Wu felt something was amiss.
"What? Isn't this North Jiang Wind's phone? Where is he?"
"Oh, it's like this. This number belongs to the Admissions Office of Jiangnan University. Mr. North Jiang Wind has resigned, so the university has reclaimed the number.
Allow me to introduce myself. I'm the new Admissions Officer at Jiangnan University..."
Li Wu interrupted before the man could finish.
"I'm not interested in who you are, and I don't care about North Jiang Wind. I just want to know, North Jiang Wind represented your Jiangnan University in a wager with me. When do you intend to repay the five thousand points you owe me?"
"I was about to discuss this very matter with you."
The middle-aged man on the phone remained polite, but his words caused Li Wu's brows to furrow.
In a 16919 book, a look at the wrong version!
"It's like this. Our Jiangbei University is a reputable institution, and we strictly prohibit gambling among our faculty and students.
Therefore, from any perspective, Mr. North Jiang Wind had no qualifications and could not represent our Jiangbei University in a wager with you.
He was dismissed from Jiangnan University due to gambling-related matters!"
"Are you saying that Jiangnan University intends to shirk this debt?"
Li Wu was clearly displeased.
But the man on the other end maintained his smile, "I'm sorry, but Jiangnan University does not condone gambling and will not respond to any gambling-related matters.
If you have any disputes with Mr. North Jiang Wind in this regard, please settle it privately.
Additionally, as a teacher, I'd like to remind you to cherish life and stay away from gambling. You are..."
"Click!"
Li Wu hung up the phone, his face stern.
"Unbelievable! I didn't expect Jiangnan University to be so shameless, blatantly reneging on their debt.
Seeing their arrogant attitude, I estimate that even if I wanted to contact North Jiang Wind now, I couldn't get in touch with him."
Li Wu was seething with anger.
After all, five thousand points was not a small sum!
Don't be fooled by Li Wu's previous quick and substantial earnings; it was all thanks to the platform provided by the High School League.
Moreover, it was because the Jiangnan team had been dominated by an external squad for several years, and Li Wu's victory allowed the Jiangnan team to breathe a sigh of relief.
It could be said that Li Wu's previous windfall was due to a combination of genius, opportunity, and talent.
Even so, Li Wu had only earned a little over twenty thousand points.
Now, with these five thousand points slipping through his fingers, could Li Wu swallow this humiliation?
"I must get this money back!"
Li Wu was determined not to let this go.
However, just as Li Wu was pondering how to reclaim the money, the intranet's review results for the White Bone Boar breeding program caught his attention.
Li Wu picked up the phone, intending to inform Zhang Wentao, but he suddenly noticed something amiss in the review results.
"What's going on? It's not approved?"
After examining the review results closely, Li Wu's eyes narrowed.
He immediately opened the email to read it, and his expression grew even more grim.
The email was brief, and the essential part was just one sentence:
"Your White Bone Boar Broth program has been rejected due to significant similarities with an existing program!"
"How is that possible? There's no other program like mine in the White Bone Boar breeding program section. How could it be similar?"
Li Wu, with a dark expression, opened the White Bone Boar section.
He was stunned by what he saw.
There was an additional breeding program, named White Bone Boar Broth.
Li Wu had a hunch about what had happened.
"Could this be the work of someone from the Jiangbei Breeding Center? Would they do something so blatant?"
Indeed, they had!
Li Wu purchased the White Bone Boar Broth program and read it carefully.
After reading it, Li Wu felt his entire worldview had been refreshed.
This was a blatant copy of his program.
It was no longer a matter of plagiarism; it was a direct copy-paste job.
At most, they had made some modifications they considered clever after translating it.
"Could they be so brazen and mindless?"
Li Wu didn't think the Jiangnan University Jiangbei Breeding Center would resort to such tactics.
There were many ways to undermine him, and they didn't need to use such a disgusting method.
Yet, this was the reality; they had done it!
This made Li Wu particularly frustrated.
And the day's misfortunes didn't end there.
It seemed like Li Wu was having a string of bad luck, with one upsetting event following another.
Before Li Wu could recover from Jiangnan University's debt evasion and the plagiarism of his breeding program, Zhao Kai Ming, who had just confidently assured him about the team leader matter, called.
Li Wu thought he might finally hear some good news, but Zhao Kai Ming's first words were, "Li Wu, maybe we should put the team leader matter on hold for this year?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wu's temper nearly exploded!
