Chapter 208: Shameless Woman

Debt avoidance and plagiarism.

Facing these two issues, Li Wu decided to tackle the debt problem first.

The 50,000 points had been dragging on for so long, and he couldn't let them continue to delay any further.

There were two ways to resolve this 50,000-point issue.

One was to find North Jiang Wind and demand payment from him in person.

This method was the most difficult and unrewarding. Even if North Jiang Wind was hard to find, it would still be challenging to get the money, so Li Wu chose to ignore this option.

He opted for the second method—finding someone else to collect the debt.

Li Wu and North Jiang Wind's wager was signed under the witness of the Intranet.

Now that this situation had occurred, Li Wu could ask the Intranet to collect this debt.

Both Li Wu and North Jiang Wind were aware of this.

However, they both knew that while it was one thing to talk about it, it was another to actually do it.

Although the Intranet was responsible for helping with debt collection, which was one of its major services, it required a process and some time.

What North Jiang Wind wanted was precisely this time, or rather, a process.

Indeed, he had calculated even this into his plan.

From start to finish, he never intended to genuinely avoid the debt. It was impossible to evade this debt, after all, as the wager agreement was signed under the witness of the Intranet.

But this situation could be manipulated.

From the beginning of the debt avoidance, his goal was to provoke Li Wu's emotions and anger him first.

The Intranet's debt collection process was slow and bureaucratic, but it also allowed for some maneuvering. With a few simple actions, Li Wu could be easily agitated.

When Li Wu reached his limit and decided to use extreme measures, North Jiang Wind would immediately repay the points.

This would directly push Li Wu's mental state to the brink of explosion.

This would make North Jiang Wind's subsequent actions much easier.

However, North Jiang Wind overlooked one thing.

He didn't anticipate that Li Wu's debt avoidance, plagiarism, and the team leader's issues would all come together.

With everything happening at once, Li Wu's temper was instantly ignited, so he resorted to extreme measures from the start.

Li Wu's extreme approach was straightforward—he still sought a solution through the Intranet.

He directly ordered 50,000 points worth of items on the Intranet and, at the time of payment, presented the wager agreement with North Jiang Wind for the transaction.

Yes, this agreement could be used for the transaction.

Since the wager agreement was signed under the witness of the Intranet, it was valid.

After the Intranet's review, this agreement was worth 50,000 points within the Intranet.

However, if they traded directly with the Intranet, it would only be calculated at 95% of the agreement's value.

In other words, the Intranet would deduct 2,500 points.

This was not a small amount, and normally, Li Wu might have hesitated for a moment.

But at that moment, it was just 2,500 points.

He paid it without hesitation!

Then, the debt that North Jiang Wind had avoided was transferred from Li Wu's account to the Intranet's.

The Intranet's efficiency was indeed impressive. As soon as the transaction was complete, they immediately notified North Jiang Wind.

"Attention, your wager agreement with 'I Want to Be the Sea King' has been officially taken over by the Intranet.

Your account has been frozen, and your assets will be liquidated. Please settle the 50,000-point debt within three days, or additional fees will be incurred. Furthermore, the Intranet will auction your assets."

Reading this message, North Jiang Wind's expression turned grim.

"2,500 points, huh? Li Wu is ruthless, just throwing away that amount."

Clearly, North Jiang Wind was well-informed about this.

He just hadn't expected Li Wu, a notoriously frugal person, to discard 2,500 points so easily.

"It seems my understanding of him isn't thorough enough!"

However, North Jiang Wind quickly regained his composure.

This matter was just a minor incident for him, not a significant issue.

"Avoiding this debt was intended to infuriate him. Seeing his current state, the debt avoidance plan has failed, so I can focus more on the upcoming plans."

From beginning to end, North Jiang Wind never took the Intranet's debt collection seriously.

Although the Intranet's debt collection was notoriously aggressive and ruthless, and the consequences of not repaying were well-known, it didn't concern North Jiang Wind.

The 50,000 points would be provided by North Jiang.

He just needed to focus on handling Li Wu.

However, when it came to dealing with Li Wu.

Initially, North Jiang Wind felt some pressure.

After all, that kid was exceptionally shrewd and talented, and now he seemed to have the support of a rich lady.

If he bullied him now, there would undoubtedly be retaliation in the future.

But even so, North Jiang Wind decided to proceed.

On one hand, he couldn't accept losing to Li Wu the last time. He had prepared everything meticulously, and Li Wu had only won by cheating, which North Jiang Wind couldn't stand.

On the other hand, and most importantly, this matter was personally ordered by that person.

If he handled this well, he might gain the support of that person, and North Jiang Wind could rise to great heights.

With both resentment and personal gain in mind, North Jiang Wind couldn't think of any reason not to target Li Wu.

"Come on, let's stir things up and have some real fun!

This time, I will definitely make you suffer!"

North Jiang Wind was determined. He believed he wouldn't lose to Li Wu twice!

With this confidence, North Jiang Wind embarked on his busy work.

Lu Wu was determined to be prepared, especially after witnessing Li Wu's recent behavior. He knew that Li Wu was capable of causing a significant stir, and once he started, there was no stopping him.

"Of course, there's always a chance that he might suddenly act irrationally or that someone might intervene to stop him. So, we should also be prepared on our end. If Li Wu doesn't make a fuss, we'll help him create one!"

...............

Meanwhile, at Jiangnan University.

Li Wu wasn't idle after resolving the debt issue. He turned his attention to addressing the plagiarism.

He thoroughly examined the book, and there was no mistake; it was an exact copy!

Similar to Jiangbei Wind, Li Wu focused most of his energy on tackling the plagiarism issue. Initially, Li Wu intended to make a big deal out of it.

He even had a plan to ensure Jiangbei couldn't escape the consequences.

However, before taking action, Li Wu suddenly remembered the words of his Rich Lady.

Yes, right before entering the dungeon, when he was about to remove Team 003, the Rich Lady had given him some advice.

She had told him to remain calm when facing problems, to think carefully before acting, and to avoid extreme or eccentric behavior.

After all, the Rich Lady was quite graceful.

So, Li Wu did take her words to heart to some extent.

Before taking action, he decided to calm himself down and review the situation.

The more he thought about it, the more Li Wu couldn't understand why Jiangbei would do such a thing.

Why would they target him, a kind, upright, handsome, and harmless little cultivator?

What had he done to offend them? To figure this out, Li Wu specifically contacted Zhang Wentao.

Zhang Wentao was equally baffled and couldn't comprehend why such a situation had arisen.

Logically speaking, even if there was a rivalry between Jiangnan and Jiangbei Universities, it shouldn't involve Li Wu.

Such a genius, cherished wherever he went, who would have the time to bully him for no reason? Moreover, they shouldn't underestimate the power of his Rich Lady.

"Could it be that someone in the Jiangbei Vocational Center, tempted by money, is behind this? And the leadership of the Jiangbei Vocational Center is completely unaware of this?"

After discussing with Li Wu for a while, Zhang Wentao offered a hypothesis.

As soon as he heard this, Li Wu immediately understood why Jiangnan had been so severely oppressed by Jiangbei.

The problem lay with the leadership.

The leaders at Jiangnan University were too upright and honest.

How could the leadership at Jiangbei not be aware of such a situation? Not only had Li Wu's proposal been suppressed for over half a month, but when he entered the dungeon, they had already submitted their cultivation plan ahead of him.

This couldn't be the act of a single person.

It was clearly an organized, planned, and premeditated move aimed directly at you, Li Wu!"

But no matter how much Li Wu thought about it, he couldn't understand why someone as handsome as him would be targeted.

Unable to comprehend it, Li Wu decided not to think about it anymore.

"Let's probe further first."

"Uncle Zhang, please use your name to demand an explanation from Jiangbei. Tell them that if they withdraw their cultivation plan and have the responsible staff apologize to me, I'll let this matter go.

If they don't agree, we'll follow the procedure! Oh, and remember to record everything!"

"Okay!"

Perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed after rejecting Li Wu's request to become the team leader, Zhang Wentao immediately took action.

Whatever Li Wu asked, he did.

Meanwhile, Li Wu accessed the intranet to gather information about Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

He knew that Zhang Wentao would likely fail in his endeavor, and the other party wouldn't let things go so easily.

If Li Wu were in their position, he wouldn't take such actions against an outstanding, kind, likable, and promising cultivator so lightly.

But once he took action, it wouldn't be so simple.

There must be more to it.

However, Li Wu didn't even know why they were targeting him, let alone guess their motives.

Therefore, Li Wu decided to investigate Jiangbei's situation on the intranet, focusing on the relationship between Jiangbei and Jiangnan.

After much contemplation, Li Wu concluded that Jiangbei's actions could be attributed to a few reasons.

Either they disliked him, or they disliked Jiangnan University, or they disliked his mother.

Of these, Li Wu found the third reason the least plausible.

However, after reviewing the situation between Jiangbei and Jiangnan over the past few years on the intranet, Li Wu began to suspect that the third reason might be the case.

After some hesitation, Li Wu made a call to his Rich Lady.

On the phone, Li Wu directly told her about his encounter, and as he spoke, he could sense her anger.

It was an anger with a clear target.

She even cursed several times, "Shameless!"

At that moment, Li Wu understood. He had wondered why anyone would bully him, and it turned out it was because of his Rich Lady.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Wu shared his plan to resolve the issue.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Rich Lady immediately became delighted.

"Excellent! Go ahead and take action! Let that shameless woman know my might!"

"This is my plan. Why do you care, Rich Lady?" Li Wu rolled his eyes, his face filled with disdain. But as the words reached his lips, he changed his tone, thumping his chest, "Leave it to me! If anyone dares to bully my wet nurse, I'll make them understand the meaning of 'regret'!"

After saying this, Li Wu hung up the phone, feeling delighted, and went to prepare.
