Chapter 233: On the Possibility of Little Skeletons Transforming into Beautiful Girls

In the Capital City, at the Cultivation Center Headquarters.

Li Wu had initially planned to stay at the headquarters only briefly. After all, encountering Old Gu upon his arrival had left him with no favorable impressions of the place. His original intention was to resolve the issue, obtain his certification, and return immediately.

However, after the issue was truly resolved, Li Wu realized he couldn't leave just yet. On one hand, the Cultivation Center Headquarters had provided him with an abundance of resources. Whether it was the library or the Battle Soul Monument, Li Wu was intrigued by both.

Additionally, another reason was that Zhang Wentao also disagreed with leaving so soon. Yes, that's right, the old man.

After his initial outburst, this old man had fallen into a coma. He regained consciousness after receiving treatment.

When he first woke up, the old man's face was filled with a mix of resentment from being bullied and the grandeur of self-sacrifice. And when Zhao Kaiming, by his side, informed him that his injuries were not in vain, and that he had just earned a thousand points from that last blow, the old man's eyes lit up like light bulbs.

After repeatedly confirming with Zhao Kaiming that he wasn't being deceived, the old man suddenly felt invigorated, even ready for another round.

Yes, a million points per round, and Zhang Wentao felt that his body was up for a few more rounds.

Seeing the old man's lack of ambition, Li Wu was both annoyed and amused, while also feeling a bit heartbroken. Jiangnan University had become so impoverished that Zhang Wentao had to sell his body to make money.

However, Zhang Wentao's opposition to leaving right away wasn't due to seeking opportunities to get beaten up. He merely wanted to finish what he hadn't done before.

They had arrived in style, and they would leave in style, with drums and gongs, making a grand exit.

There was no other way; the more one lacks, the more they want to show off.

Jiangnan University currently lacked too much, and the old man didn't want to miss this opportunity.

The old man insisted, and Li Wu didn't argue. After all, he had embraced another powerful figure.

"Alright, if you insist, then let's wait until your injuries heal a bit, and we'll leave in style. You rest and recover, while I take Dudu to explore the headquarters."

As Li Wu spoke, he was about to leave with Dudu.

This startled both Zhao Kaiming and Zhang Wentao.

"No, no, no! Don't wander around alone, it's unsafe. If you want to look around, I'll have Old Zhao accompany you."

These two old men clearly hadn't recovered from their shadows.

But Li Wu assured them, "Don't worry, it's fine. I have a bodyguard."

"Bodyguard?"

As Zhang Wentao and Zhao Kaiming were left bewildered, wondering where Li Wu had gotten a bodyguard, the door to the hospital room opened. A man dressed in a particularly formal suit, wearing dark glasses, and looking every bit the standard bodyguard, entered.

"Did you call me, boss?"

At that moment, not only Zhang Wentao and Zhao Kaiming, but even Li Wu himself was bewildered.

"Who are you?"

"Me!" The bodyguard removed his glasses, revealing his face, "It's me, boss!"

Li Wu covered his forehead, "Iron Elder, what's this all about?"

"Boss, didn't you hire me as your bodyguard? I dressed up like this based on movies, cool, right?"

As he spoke, the old man struck a pose, showing off his new outfit.

"By the way, boss, can I expense this outfit? It's 22,000!"

"Points?"

Li Wu's head buzzed, and the old man shook his head.

"Alliance Credits."

"Then no problem at all!"

Upon hearing it was Alliance Credits, Li Wu was delighted. This old man was easy to deal with; two points were enough to satisfy him.

The old man was also delighted, his face radiating happiness.

This kid had become foolish, easier to deceive than before. He had over-reported by 20,000, and he hadn't even noticed, earning an extra 20,000.

In the end, the two, with faces full of happy, foolish smiles, left the hospital room hand-in-hand and shoulder-to-shoulder, leaving Zhang Wentao and Zhao Kaiming stunned and speechless.

Zhang Wentao was still unaware of where Li Wu had found this comical bodyguard.

But Zhao Kaiming knew. He had witnessed how close the old man had come to hammering Old Gu to death.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have dared to believe it.

Such a big shot had been tamed by Li Wu in an instant and became his bodyguard.

...

"Iron Elder, where's the library?" Li Wu asked after leaving the hospital room.

"Boss, follow me!"

Yes, the old man quickly entered work mode, leading the way for Li Wu.

So professional, so stylish, and so impressive.

"Move aside, can't you see our boss wants to pass? Move it! Or I'll beat you all up!"

Not only did the old man shout, but he also took action, directly slapping a bystander who was walking on the side of the road.

Li Wu was so startled that his head buzzed.

"Is your bodyguard being a little too arrogant?" he wondered.

Li Wu couldn't tell if the bodyguard was there to protect him or to attract trouble.

He rushed forward, intending to hug the elder, but at that moment, he heard the elder's voice in his mind.

"Boss, that's one of Old Gu's men!"

Oh, no problem then. Li Wu even secretly kicked him.

After the fight, Li Wu felt relieved, and the elder seemed satisfied, rubbing his small hands as he approached.

"Boss, what I did earlier wasn't part of a bodyguard's job."

"Huh?" Li Wu was puzzled.

The elder, feeling slightly embarrassed, said, "Can you give me a raise?"

"No problem!" Li Wu waved his hand generously. "50,000!"

"Points?" The elder was delighted.

"Alliance Credits!"

The elder was disappointed but then realized it was still a substantial amount. His spirits lifted again.

"But next time, you have to ask me before you fight," Li Wu added, feeling it was necessary to set a limit. Otherwise, the elder might end up knocking out everyone at headquarters.

Indeed, Li Wu's decision proved to be wise. As soon as he spoke, the elder's enthusiasm waned, and another opportunity to make a quick buck was blocked.

However, the elder didn't give up. Throughout the journey, he kept his eyes peeled, constantly scanning passersby.

As he observed, he also quoted prices to Li Wu.

"Boss, I saw this guy talking to Old Gu yesterday. Look at his shifty eyes; he's clearly not a good person. Should I take him out? Three thousand Alliance Credits will do it!"

...

"Boss, his great-aunt's second wife is related to Old Gu's second aunt's little sister-in-law. Should I take care of him? Three thousand Alliance Credits, that's all!"

...

Li Wu was almost speechless at the elder's antics. How much did he love money, and how desperately did he need it?

It was a wonder that such a money-loving, cash-strapped elder hadn't sold off the headquarters yet.

Li Wu had no idea that the headquarters had already been partially dismantled, intentionally or not, which explained the elder's financial situation.

What Li Wu didn't know was that two voyeurs were watching this entire scene.

Sun Kongsong, the grandson, glanced at the spectacle, his lips twitching. "Old Yuan, aren't you going to do something? It seems like Iron Elder is squeezing money out of this kid. If we let this continue, we might have a few more buildings to add to the headquarters soon."

Yuan Hua shook his head. "No need to interfere yet. When Li Wu is around, he won't have time for mischief. Once Li Wu leaves, I'll transfer the money from his card."

Upon hearing this, the grandson burst into laughter.

He felt reassured, knowing that the elder had been dealt with.

...

After thirty minutes of commotion, Li Wu finally arrived at the library.

Yes, he was here to move the library.

As soon as he reached the library, he requested the staff to transfer the digital library to his smartphone.

He wanted the latest version, the one with the 1619 update!

This request left the librarian stumped.

"This... This might not be possible," the librarian hesitantly replied.

Before Li Wu could react, the elder's eyes lit up.

"This is a money-making opportunity!"

The elder slammed his hands on the table. "Today, we're moving this digital library, and no one can stop us! Not even Yuan Hua!"

The librarian was almost scared to tears by the elder's fierce demeanor.

Li Wu couldn't help but nod in agreement. This mischievous bodyguard was proving to be useful after all.

In the end, the librarian relented and allowed Li Wu to move the digital library.

But it wasn't due to the elder's intimidation.

Such matters couldn't be resolved with mere intimidation. It was the arrival of the grandson that sealed the deal.

The digital library was only partially accessible to Li Wu; the professional-level materials were off-limits, while the master-level resources remained unavailable.

Even downloading the professional-level materials would take over ten hours. Li Wu didn't want to waste time waiting, so he asked the librarian for physical books that he couldn't download or take away but could read in the library).

"DoSend and FilePizza） and books related to necromancy and bone classification, preferably those related to skeleton secondary evolution.

The librarian, intimidated by the presence of the bodyguard, complied without argument, not daring to claim that Li Wu couldn't finish reading them.

Soon, the relevant books were delivered to Li Wu.

There were quite a few of them.

Li Wu took a quick glance at the titles.

"On the Immortality of Necromancy Summoned Creatures, On the Mechanism of Bone Summoned Creatures, The Many Uses of Soul Flame..."

Li Wu's eyes widened as he read the last title, "On Whether Bone Dragon, a Member of the Dragon Race, Can Transform into a Europecopious Beauty Like Ordinary Dragons?"

The titles left Li Wu bewildered, especially the last one, which made him even more perplexed.

"Who wrote these books? How can such books be published? Are they sure this won't corrupt the youth?"

At that moment, the old man beside him coughed awkwardly.

Li Wu's eyes darted to the author's name on the books, and he was stunned to see the bold characters—Iron Xiong.

"Iron Elder, did you write these?"

The bodyguard covered his face and nodded.

In his younger days, desperate for money, he had done all sorts of jobs, leaving behind these dark chapters in his history.

But what embarrassed him the most wasn't the writing itself; it was the fact that the books were quite popular, yet when it came time to collect the royalties, he discovered that Yuan Hua had shamelessly taken it all.

In the end, he didn't make a penny and was left with nothing but these dark secrets.

By the way, this wasn't even his most embarrassing work. His most notorious book was titled, "On the Possibility of Summoning Cat Eared Maidens."

That book sold the best, and yes, Li Wu had read it.

It was Li Wu's introductory book to the path of a breeding master.

The content was a bit peculiar, and for a while, Li Wu secretly tried to transform the two-tailed spirit cat that Li Ruyi kept, just as the book suggested.

But that was the Li Wu of the past; the current Li Wu was no longer the same as he was a year ago.

He wouldn't read such a book...

Well, he did read it anyway.

Whether it was out of interest in voluptuous girls or sheer embarrassment, Li Wu picked up the book and began to read.

As he read, Li Wu was left in awe.

He realized that this book was entirely different from the previous one, "On the Possibility of Cat Eared Maidens."

The earlier book had taken a lowbrow approach, even bordering on vulgarity, but this book, "On Bone Dragons," was different.

Although it had some questionable content, Li Wu found that the old man had delved into serious academic discussions.

Li Wu finished the book in half an hour, and his entire being was suddenly filled with excitement. He grabbed the author beside him and started discussing voluptuous, gigantic young ladies.

The bodyguard was astonished.

Initially, he thought Li Wu was mocking him.

After all, whether it was "Cat Eared Maidens" or "Europecopious Bone Dragons," although the old man was the author, the ideas came from this young man.

Not only that, but the young man had even put the vulgar parts into practice, and now he acted as if he had never seen them before. Was this some kind of act?

But what the old man didn't expect was that Li Wu not only finished the book in half an hour but also initiated a discussion about the book, focusing on its serious content.

This was a huge shock to the bodyguard.

When did this young man become so interested in things other than vulgar content? And how could he ask such professional questions?

Hadn't he always been clueless when it came to breeding?

When he saw Li Wu tending to the pigs earlier, the bodyguard thought Li Wu was just pretending, but now, as they talked, he realized that Li Wu genuinely had skills, and they were not to be underestimated.

The old man was dumbfounded.

Could he have mistaken the young man's identity?

Was this not the same young man?

But looking at Li Wu's fierce expression, the bodyguard recognized that familiar intensity.

The old man scratched his head, perplexed, and finally decided to let it go.

Why bother with such details? As long as Yuan Hua didn't object and he made some money, it was all good.

With that thought, the old man relaxed and eagerly discussed Europecopious Bone Dragons with Li Wu.

The two of them started with Dragon Transformation Girls, moved on to Pig Transformation Girls, and eventually, Li Wu even dragged over the bewildered Little Skull to discuss with the old man the possibility of turning the skull into a girl.

The old man stroked his beard, deep in thought, and finally spoke.

Theoretically, it should be possible.

As soon as he said this, the old man felt a chill run up his spine to his forehead.

He quickly scanned the surroundings for any potential beautiful women, but finding none, he identified the source of his discomfort—the chubby young girl staring at him with a glare.
