Chapter 217: Two Approaches
Chapter 217: Two Approaches
In the Jiangbei region, the Boneless Wild Pig Broth incident was gradually drawing to a close. As the dust settled, a storm began to brew within the internal affairs of Jiangbei.
With the incident's conclusion, Zhou Kai, the man most qualified to lead both the Jiangbei University and the Jiangbei Professional Breeding Center, stepped down from his position. This vacancy sparked ambition and intrigue among those vying for power. However, before their competition could even begin, the Ministry of Education intervened. They directly appointed a new president for Jiangbei University, and the headquarters of the Professional Breeding Center also assigned a new person to take charge.
These decisions, made by the two major authorities, seemed to swiftly stabilize the situation in Jiangbei. On the second day of the decree, two middle-aged men, brimming with ambition and determination, stepped into Jiangbei. They were on a mission from their organization, vowing to change the status quo and dismantle the small kingdom built by a certain individual. Their goal was to bring Jiangbei back into the fold and embrace of the authorities.
"Those old fools are at it again, and all because I gave that foolish woman a little leeway. Do they really think they have a chance now? They're just a bunch of old-timers who can't learn from their mistakes." An elegant senior lady muttered to herself while reviewing several documents in her hand. She contemplated which move to make and which person to use.
"I guess it's time to bring her back. She's been out of control for too long, and she might even forget that there's a place here. If I don't do something, she might just keep going." The lady tapped her slender fingers on a photo of a young woman.
...
In the Jiangnan region, on Lu Wu's side.
The Boneless Wild Pig, a type of summoned beast, had only one evolutionary path—the Ironbone Boar—before the emergence of the Ironclad Boar. Due to the lack of a secondary evolution plan, the Boneless Wild Pig could only reach the Leader 1-Star level at its peak.
This limitation is a common drawback of low-quality summoned beasts. Their upper limit is inherently low, and what others can achieve effortlessly requires countless resources and strenuous efforts from them. Ultimately, the burden of this challenge falls on the summoner.
However, Lu Wu, as a breeder, was more than willing to tackle this problem. On one hand, as a professional, he was keen to solve this issue. On the other hand, by addressing the Ironbone Boar's limitations, Lu Wu could not only enhance his own strength but also turn a profit.
After all, the Boneless Wild Pig is not an uncommon summoned beast, and countless others struggle to advance beyond the Leader level. If Lu Wu could break through this limitation, he was certain to make a substantial profit.
Regarding the Ironbone Boar's evolution plan, Lu Wu currently had two options.
The first option was to change course entirely, abandoning the Ironbone route and embracing the Ironclad path. By upgrading Ironclad Oxen and evolving them into Iron Armor Black Oxen or Bronze Oxen, using their milk as the primary material, Lu Wu, who held 5000 Ironclad Oxen, could reap significant benefits from this approach.
The second option was the fusion plan that Lu Wu had initially considered. This involved merging the Ironbone Boar with a Skeleton Warrior to create a Bone Knight. Although this path offered no financial gain, Lu Wu found it intriguing and had been researching it for quite some time.
One option promised profit, while the other did not. Lu Wu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, he made his decision.
Ah, as a mature and handsome adult, Lu Wu has to make a choice!
He wants to make money, but he also wants to become a Bone Knight.
This greatly increases Lu Wu's workload.
However, this is not a big deal for Lu Wu. Ever since he gained his golden finger after crossing over, busyness has become his daily routine.
Studying diligently for over ten hours a day is the norm.
Now, even if he spends over ten hours in the research lab, Lu Wu doesn't mind it at all.
He feels quite comfortable and adaptable to this lifestyle.
Dudu, on the other hand, is also used to it. While Lu Wu works, she sits with Tuan Tuan by his side, watching him.
Over the past year, Dudu has become accustomed to this routine.
Even if Lu Wu becomes more focused on his work and has no time to pay attention to her, it's not a problem for Dudu.
As long as she can sit by his side and watch, she's content.
Of course, if Lu Wu asks her to make tea, pour water, or do some chores while he works, it would be helpful for him, and Dudu would be even happier.
It's like she's a child bride, doing nothing all day but hovering around Lu Wu.
Dudu's behavior makes Lu Wu feel quite at ease.
In the morning, after reading a book, he looks at the latest version of the game!
With this chubby girl by his side, Lu Wu feels reassured.
However, some people think this is not right. Today, Lin Jianying stops Dudu while she's cooking.
"Do you know this is not okay?"
"Huh?" Dudu is puzzled.
"I know you're happy like this, and I know you feel fulfilled, but you can't keep doing this."
Lin Jianying's tone is slightly off, and he usually wouldn't say something like this.
He knows that saying it won't make a difference, and Dudu won't change her ways. But he still feels the need to speak up, fearing that he might not get another chance.
"Haven't you seen how hard Lu Wu is working?
Even someone as powerful and talented as him is constantly striving. You can't afford to relax, you know?"
"Lu Wu will continue to grow stronger, and you need to keep up with him! Only then can you stay close behind him."
Lin Jianying speaks with sincerity and honesty, pouring out his heart. But Dudu still doesn't understand what he's saying.
"Old Lin, can we talk about this later? I'm in a hurry."
"You still don't understand!
"It seems I need to show you some reality!"
Old Lin continues talking to himself, and Dudu becomes slightly annoyed.
"Let me go, I need to cook for Lu Wu!"
Lin Jianying doesn't back down, and his aura gradually intensifies.
He wants Dudu to understand a simple truth: the effort required to stay by someone as capable as Lu Wu.
"Just a moment, it won't take much time. I need to show you how much you've fallen behind during this period of idleness."
"Slap!"
Dudu, in a hurry to cook for Lu Wu, doesn't wait for Lin Jianying to finish speaking. She slaps him, and her handprint is left on his face.
This is the first time Dudu has ever hit someone.
It's evident how dangerous it is to stop Dudu from cooking for Lu Wu.
On the other side, Lin Jianying, who was slapped, is stunned for a while before regaining his senses.
He looks up and sees Dudu walking away in the distance, and a smile appears on his face as he recalls the particularly terrifying slap.
It seems like she doesn't need his concern after all.
"It's fine, this is also fine!"
............
I woke up late in the morning, so I'll keep this chapter a bit shorter.
It's been quite long, and it's time to let you savor the brevity of this chapter.
