Chapter 218: The Plan Unveiled
Chapter 218: The Plan Unveiled
Inside the office of the newly appointed Northbank University President, Zhao Jianzhi, a cup of tea in hand, gazed out the window at Northern Jiang University with a hint of a smile.
It had been five days since his appointment.
In those five days, the staff of Northern Jiang University had prepared numerous welcoming gifts for him.
On his first day, he requested a meeting, but not a single member of the university's leadership showed up.
The next day, he proposed a financial review, but no one paid him any heed.
The third day was even more bizarre; a female teacher was prepared to offer herself to him.
Of course, there were people lying in wait outside, ready to catch him in the act.
...
In just five short days, Northern Jiang University had used various means to set traps for him. One wrong step, and he might have faced irreversible consequences.
It was clear that they were sending him a message: Northern Jiang University did not welcome him!
The Northbank did not welcome him!
In such an environment, every step was a struggle. Forget about carrying out his duties; even being a decent president would be challenging.
However, Zhao Jianzhi didn't feel discouraged by this situation.
Before coming, he had already anticipated what he would face.
If he hadn't been prepared to face this, he wouldn't have come.
Moreover, these five days hadn't been entirely fruitless.
In just five days, he could tell that Northern Jiang University was a distorted institution.
The conflicts here were more intense than in any other university or faction.
In a place like this, unity was impossible. The only reason they stuck together was their fear of someone.
But this unity born of fear was actually quite fragile and easily shattered.
"Just watch, in less than three months, I'll make her lose control of Northern Jiang University!"
Zhao Jianzhi exuded confidence, and he had every reason to be.
This wasn't an empty promise.
When he said this, he already had a plan in mind.
He was certain his plan was flawless and that the power backing him would enable him to carry it out.
However, just as Zhao Jianzhi was brimming with confidence, he noticed some unrest on campus.
The source of this unrest wasn't the students, but the university leaders who had been elusive for the past five days. They emerged from some corner, gathering together.
They waited respectfully beneath this office building.
This sight caused Zhao Jianzhi's eyebrows to furrow.
"It seems they're welcoming someone.
Who could it be that requires such a display? Could it be her?"
Thinking of that person, Zhao Jianzhi's face involuntarily tensed up, a reaction he didn't even notice himself.
He wasn't prepared to face her yet.
"But it's not always possible to face her in the best state. Since she's here, meeting her isn't a bad idea!"
Zhao Jianzhi quickly adjusted his mindset.
Straightening his clothes and holding the cup of tea, Zhao Jianzhi headed downstairs.
As he reached the ground floor, the group of Northern Jiang University leaders he'd been waiting for also arrived.
Zhao Jianzhi's eyebrows raised in surprise; it wasn't the person he expected, but a young woman.
She appeared to be in her early twenties, wearing a blue short-sleeved T-shirt with denim shorts, thick-soled boots of unknown material, a single ponytail, and a baseball cap. Her entire being exuded youth and wildness.
Zhao Jianzhi was taken aback, wondering who this person was.
The people around him simultaneously bowed.
"Greetings, Young Miss!"
Dozens of big shots bowing—what a scene!
Zhao Jianzhi's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Come on, you're university professors, not some random people!
As he silently criticized, he also realized who the young lady was—it must be Zhang Yuanchu, the daughter of that person.
Adapting to local customs, Zhao Jianzhi stepped forward.
"I've heard of Miss Zhang's beauty..."
"You're Zhao Jianzhi?"
Zhao Jianzhi was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
Seeing their attitude, he knew they meant business, and his smile instantly vanished.
"Yes, Miss Zhang, what can I do for you?"
Zhang Yuanchu nodded, "Yes, I'm taking over Northern Jiang University. You can pack up and leave."
"What!"
Zhao Jianzhi was taken aback by her directness.
"Miss Zhang, I'm from the Ministry of Education..."
"You won't leave willingly?"
"I have no reason to leave, and you have no right to force me out..."
Before he could finish, a terrifying aura pressed down on him. Zhao Jianzhi's face changed as he hadn't expected her to attack without warning. He immediately summoned his strongest Lord-level summoning beast, the Earthfire Wyvern.
However, the moment it appeared, it was blasted away by Zhang Yuanchu's punch.
His strongest summoning beast was killed, and the terrifying backlash struck Zhao Jianzhi's soul, severely injuring it. But it didn't end there.
Zhang Yuanchu took a step forward and punched again, landing a blow on Zhao Jianzhi's chest.
This terrifying punch nearly killed Zhao Jianzhi, and it was clear that Zhang Yuanchu had held back.
After defeating Zhao Jianzhi, a master summoner at the peak of his abilities, Zhang Yuanchu stopped and said calmly, "President Zhao Jianzhi was attacked on campus and is severely injured. I, Zhang Yuanchu, will temporarily take over as the President of Northern Jiang University!"
Well, this young lady certainly made an impression on her return.
This move was a show of force to those backing the Ministry of Education, as well as a warning to her mother.
She wanted to make it clear that now that she was back and given control of Northern Jiang University, it would be her territory from this day forward.
She would use her own methods to make Northern Jiang University powerful.
No one would be allowed to meddle in her territory!
…………
It was unclear whether Zhang Yuchi's show of force had intimidated her mother or not.
But Lu Wu's mother was genuinely startled.
Hmm, what a move.
As soon as Zhang Yuchi returned, Jiang Yuesheng immediately received the news.
It was like a sudden jolt of electricity.
In a 16-19-1-9-1 book, she saw the uncensored version!
"How did this woman return? And why did she entrust Northern Jiang University to her?"
Jiang Yuesheng felt a bit flustered.
No one knew that mother-daughter pair better than her.
The mother was cunning, sly, despicable, and shameless, outsmarting her daughter in terms of intellect.
The daughter was domineering and powerful, bullying her mother in terms of strength.
Jiang Yuesheng couldn't handle one of them, and now that both were back, she felt like the world had gone dark.
"I knew it, she's been so quiet lately because she was planning something bad!"
…………
On the other side, at the Ministry of Education.
Zhang Yuchi had just defeated Zhao Jianzhi.
In less than half an hour, the Ministry received the news.
"Outrageous, too outrageous!"
Within the Ministry, Zhao Yuguo, a senior figure from Northern Jiang, was furious, "Assaulting a principal appointed by the Ministry in public, this Zhang Yuchi has gone too far!
I request that Zhang Yuchi be arrested immediately!"
The Minister remained silent, and a sensible staff member suggested a way to save face.
"Well, a professor from Northern Jiang University testified that Zhao Jianzhi was severely injured by an evil summoner, and Zhang Yuchi even saved him!"
Zhao Yuguo scoffed at this, "Do you believe such nonsense to fool children? How can an evil summoner be so powerful as to severely injure a principal at Northern Jiang University?
Minister, Zhang Yuchi's crimes are heinous and must be severely punished."
"Since Elder Zhao believes the report from Northern Jiang University is false, why don't we invite Elder Zhao to lead a team to investigate personally?"
Hmm, that was the only thing said.
Zhao Yuguo had no more words.
He dared to shout here, but he wouldn't dare to actually cause trouble for Zhang Yuchi.
He was afraid, and he was also flustered.
After all, that girl was notorious for being unreasonable, and her background was notoriously powerful.
Not to mention her mother, who currently had de facto control over Northern Jiang.
What was even more intimidating was her father.
Her mother had publicly stated on multiple occasions that Zhang Yuchi's father was that man.
He was the man even the Elder Council wouldn't offend lightly; who would dare to provoke him?
Moreover, Zhang Yuchi herself was an extremely brilliant prodigy.
At 18, during her initial summoning, she directly summoned a King-grade quality beast, and within half a year, she reached professional levels.
By 19, she attained the senior professional level.
And at 21, she became a master-level summoner.
Soon after achieving master-level, she boldly killed a peak master-level summoner.
This year, at 26, she had just returned from five years of training in the Mystic Realm, and her current strength was unpredictable.
With terrifying personal strength and an intimidating background, who would dare to provoke her?
Didn't they see how her mother had transformed Northern Jiang, with even the Elder Council turning a blind eye?
"Forget it, forget it, since no one died, let's just let it go."
In the end, after venting his frustration, Zhao Yuguo could only concede.
…………
Lu Wu's side.
At this moment, he was unaware of the developments in Northern Jiang.
He was busy working on the evolution of the Iron Bone Boar.
After a week of hard work, the evolution plans for the Iron Bone Boar and the Bone Knight were finally ready.
……
Evolution Plan: Steel Armor Boar
Plan Description: The secondary evolution plan for the Ironclad Boar, using Copperclad Ox Milk as the primary material, supplemented with Steel Bone Monster powder, and 38 other ingredients.
Boil these materials into a soup, and place the Iron Bone Boar or Ironclad Boar inside to simmer for approximately 5 hours.
Success Rate: 78%
PS: This is currently the best evolution plan available.
……
Evolution Plan: Boar Skeleton Knight Evolution Plan
Plan Description: A fusion plan based on the Bone Knight, with a certain probability of merging the pig and the knight into one entity, but with a high risk of failure, which could result in the loss of both the pig and the skeleton.
Success Rate: 17%
PS: A high-risk, high-reward plan.
……
Both plans have relatively high success rates, with the first one almost guaranteeing success.
For the second plan, Lu Wu rounded up the success rate to 100%.
So, Lu Wu decided to take the gamble!
