Chapter 23: Boredom
Chapter 23: Boredom
As Li Wu handed over the notebook, Li Kai was momentarily stunned, hesitating before finally accepting it.
The moment Li Kai started reading, his eyes narrowed, and his posture straightened.
He was clearly focused, devoting his entire being to the notebook Li Wu had passed him.
On the other side, Li Wu's expression turned to three parts boredom, three parts loneliness, and ninety-four parts helplessness, typical of a power player.
To be honest, when Li Wu first saw Li Kai, he was amazed beyond belief.
He thought he had encountered a hidden expert and couldn't help but want to show off his talent to impress this master.
But as he continued to show off, Li Wu realized something was amiss.
This master didn't seem as impressive as he had initially thought; in terms of Summon Beast breeding, they seemed to be on par with each other.
When Li Wu first realized this, he thought he had become delusional, daring to compare himself to a master.
How could he, a mere power player, possibly catch up to a master by just reading a few books?
So, Li Wu calmed himself and made another effort. When he finished and looked up at the master again, he clearly understood his mistake. How could he possibly be on par with the master? He was obviously far superior!
At least when it came to the advancement plan for Cord Grass, Li Wu could easily outdo him!
At this moment, Li Wu finally remembered.
Despite his mediocrity, he was indeed a power player.
With his photographic memory and golden finger, he managed to create the "Little Skeleton's Training Manual 2.0" in less than a week.
Not to mention now, after more than a month of intense problem-solving during the day and book reading at night.
With his accumulated knowledge and the advantage of his golden finger, Li Wu had undoubtedly surpassed Li Kai in terms of Summon Beast breeding.
This was embarrassing!
He had originally hoped to gain Li Kai's approval through his efforts and become his disciple.
But when he turned around, he realized he was already capable of teaching Li Kai, which made Li Wu feel incredibly helpless.
Li Wu had no choice but to change his original goal.
From striving to become Li Kai's disciple, he shifted to making Li Kai his mark for money.
There was no other way; the daily life of an ordinary power player was this dull and tasteless.
Meanwhile, Li Kai had no idea what path Li Wu had walked or what changes he had gone through in the past month.
At this moment, he was entirely immersed in the notebook Li Wu had presented.
The notebook Li Wu offered was specifically about his experiment, and Li Wu started from the material list. By organizing the material scraps during cleaning and using the attribute changes of Cord Grass as an entry point, he gradually reverse-engineered Li Kai's plan from the results.
This was an incredibly unbelievable feat, almost impossible to accomplish, yet Li Wu had achieved it.
His reasoning was logical and well-founded, filled with ingenious ideas that left Li Kai astonished, often causing him to clap his hands in surprise and exclaim, "That works too?"
After thoroughly reading Li Wu's notebook, Li Kai's gaze towards him changed. He no longer dared to view Li Wu as a covetous young man but instead felt a sense of humility.
Just from this notebook, Li Kai could tell that Li Wu's level in Summon Beast breeding was undoubtedly far superior to his own.
Realizing this, Li Kai's gaze grew complex, especially when he saw Li Wu's ordinary face. Li Kai's heart couldn't help but swell with four portions of jealousy, four portions of melancholy, and ninety-two portions of envy.
At the same time, he further confirmed one thing: the profession of Summon Beast Breeder was indeed reliant on talent.
Someone like him, an ordinary person with limited talent, even after years and years of unwavering effort, couldn't compare to someone like Li Wu, a genius with ingenious ideas, who could achieve more in a few months.
Fortunately, Li Kai had met many such geniuses before, and not just a few.
Having been dealt many blows, Li Kai's heart had grown stronger.
Soon, Li Kai dispelled his negative emotions, tightly gripping the notebook in his hand. His eyes burned with intensity as he asked the question he was most eager to hear the answer to, "Can you help me solve the advancement issue with Cord Grass?"
As soon as Li Kai posed this question, Li Wu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. His mind felt a jolt.
With this jolt, Li Kai officially began his transformation.
From the moment Li Wu first laid eyes on him, he went from being a respected figure to a boss paying Li Wu's salary, and now, he had become Li Wu's target for a profitable transaction.
Li Kai was well aware of this.
Despite his lack of talent in Summon Beast breeding, over a decade of effort still hadn't allowed him to become a professional Summon Beast Breeder. Though Li Kai had an introverted personality, it didn't mean he wasn't worldly wise.
Understanding this, the subsequent events became simple. It was a profitable transaction that both parties were eager to make.
In the 6th book, 1st chapter, 1st paragraph, and 1st sentence of the 'Look, No Mistake' version!
"What do you want?"
"I want to understand the world of Summon Beast Breeders. I'd like to borrow your books and your workshop, and I also need some materials."
Both parties were straightforward.
After discussing the price, they reached a soul-bound transaction! Li Wu produced a list.
On this list, he had recorded over a dozen materials.
Li Kai took the list and quickly scanned it, roughly estimating its price. After a moment's thought, he agreed without hesitation.
His decisiveness was almost excessive, catching Li Wu off guard.
Li Wu was genuinely surprised by Li Kai's prompt agreement. He had expected Li Kai to hesitate, and he had even prepared additional bargaining chips, none of which he got to use.
Li Kai nodded, and Li Wu, his soon-to-be transaction partner—or rather, boss—began their formal dealings.
Li Wu then took out the advancement plan for Cord Grass that he had prepared earlier.
It was another notebook, which Li Kai eagerly accepted and began to flip through.
As Li Kai read, he became engrossed once more.
The notebook Li Wu provided wasn't just a simple record of advancement plans.
This notebook was an extension of the previous one Li Wu had given to Li Kai. After recording the plan Li Kai had used and its main components, Li Wu proceeded to logically deduce Li Kai's plan.
From why Li Kai's plan had failed, to how to modify it, and finally, how to create an entirely new plan for Cord Grass's advancement based on Li Kai's original plan.
It could be said that Li Wu not only provided Li Kai with a solution but also openly shared his thought process regarding this plan.
After reading this notebook, Li Kai's gaze at Li Wu held a new meaning, and Li Wu instantly understood its significance. This guy was coveting him, just as Li Wu had coveted Li Kai when they first met...
