Chapter 242: Learning to Craft Equipment and Tools
Fortune City Station.
The first person Li Wu saw upon exiting the train was Jiang Yuexing.
Li Wu's heart skipped a beat, and tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably.
Jiang Yuexing had personally come to the station to greet him after only a few days of his departure.
Was this the depth of a wealthy woman's maternal love? But soon, Li Wu realized his mistake; it was a landslide!
She hadn't come to greet him at all.
Or rather, greeting him was just a side task; the main reason was to pick up his bodyguard.
Jiang Yuexing pushed Li Wu away, who was approaching with tears in his eyes, and walked towards Iron Xiong.
"Old Iron, my son has caused you trouble."
"Not at all, protecting the boss is my duty. Oh, and Jiang Yatou, you see I'm doing my job well. How about giving me a raise?" The bodyguard rubbed his small hands, excited.
Jiang Yuexing, on the other hand, remained calm and naturally ignored the request for a raise.
"Old Iron, since it's your first time in Jiangnan, you can stay with my son."
"I'll make sure he takes good care of you."
Then, Jiang Yuexing led Li Wu and the bodyguard towards Li Wu's residence.
Upon reaching Li Wu's luxurious villa, Jiang Yuexing asked Li Wu to find someone to arrange accommodation for Iron Xiong and then naturally dismissed the bodyguard. She grabbed Li Wu and asked, "How much money did you give this old man?"
"Not much, just fifty or sixty thousand," Li Wu replied, puzzled by Jiang Yuexing's question.
Jiang Yuexing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was Alliance Credits.
But after a moment of thought, Li Wu added, "Points!"
Jiang Yuexing's expression turned sour, and her forehead veins bulged.
"Why did you give him so many points?"
"How much?"
Li Wu felt it was too little to hire a bodyguard of that caliber for just fifty or sixty thousand.
"I was even planning to give him fifty thousand points per month!"
"You're not allowed!"
Jiang Yuexing, in a hurry, banged the table and glanced at the old man, ensuring he hadn't approached yet. She quickly instructed Li Wu, "Listen, you can't give this old man too much money, and don't let him near the city center. Most importantly, absolutely do not let him enter the Cultivation Chamber!"
"Why?"
Li Wu was very confused. He thought the old man's skills were quite good, and Jiang Yuexing was about to explain when the old man's footsteps approached. Jiang Yuexing had to abandon her explanation.
"Just listen to me, and you'll be fine!"
As Jiang Yuexing finished her sentence, the old man arrived. Jiang Yuexing seamlessly transitioned to another topic.
"There's also another matter concerning Lin Jianying."
Li Wu's attention was immediately drawn to it. "Old Lin? Have you found him?"
Jiang Yuexing shook her head. "No, I sent someone to look for him recently. But when I inquired about the progress, I found that the person I sent had lost contact."
"Lost contact?" Li Wu was stunned. "How come?"
"The reason is unclear at the moment. It's possible he encountered danger in the Demon Cavern, or perhaps he was ambushed by summoned beasts or someone else. The specific cause is unknown, but I've sent people to investigate.
Also, during this time, if Lin Jianying returns, you must notify me immediately."
Seeing Li Wu deep in thought, Jiang Yuexing quickly added, "Furthermore, I'll handle this matter. You must not go to the Demon Cavern yourself, understand?"
"Understood!"
Although Li Wu was concerned about Lin Jianying's situation, he had no intention of going to the Demon Cavern himself.
On one hand, Jiang Yuexing was recently swamped with work. On the other hand, Lu Wu himself was well aware of his own capabilities and limitations. Setting aside his breeding skills, he was merely an ordinary professional summoner. Moreover, he was the type to be nurtured in a greenhouse.
When it came to finding people or engaging in life-or-death situations, Lu Wu was not particularly adept. There were people under Jiang Yuexing's command who were far more skilled than him in handling matters like locating Lin Jianying. If Lu Wu went himself, he might not only fail to find the person but also cause trouble for Jiang Yuexing.
Thus, Lu Wu assured Jiang Yuexing that he would behave and not cause any trouble. This kind of professional task was best left to the experts.
Once Jiang Yuexing was certain of Lu Wu's compliance, she departed from Lu Wu's grand villa.
In the 16th chapter of the 19th book of the 1st edition, as soon as Jiang Yuexing left, Lu Wu became busy. His immediate concern was the repair of the Little Skeleton's phone. This phone not only affected the Little Skeleton's ability to evolve but was also extremely important to Lu Wu.
After all, the phone contained his diary, the electronic library of Jiangnan University and the Cultivation Center Headquarters, as well as all the data Lu Wu had downloaded from the intranet. The cost of purchasing this data started at a whopping 100,000 points.
Therefore, repairing the phone was of utmost importance.
Regarding the phone's repair and upgrade, Lu Wu stated, "Currently, the plan I have only gives a 100% chance of repairing and upgrading the phone. To further increase the success rate, it's unrealistic to rely solely on beast cultivation. We must approach it from the perspective of tools and equipment."
"Additionally, there's the Tempering Hand skill, which must be improved as soon as possible."
In terms of this skill, Lu Wu had already thoroughly studied the theory on his way back, but his proficiency remained at the Unmastered level. This was because Lu Wu had only grasped the theoretical foundation and had not actually practiced it.
To enhance this skill, practical application or hands-on practice was the best choice. Of course, Lu Wu wouldn't dare to use the Little Skeleton's phone for practice due to the high cost involved.
Instead, Lu Wu could only search the intranet for tips on crafting tools to gain some hands-on experience.
Breeding was a vast field of study, encompassing beast cultivation, potions, and tools and equipment. Lu Wu had primarily focused on beast cultivation, and while he had accidentally created the Little Skeleton Charging Rod and the Little Skeleton Phone, he had not systematically studied tools and equipment.
Coincidentally, Lu Wu had intended to improve his chances of repairing the Little Skeleton's phone by learning about tools and equipment. Seizing this opportunity, Lu Wu began to study this category.
As Lu Wu devoted all his energy to learning about tools and equipment, he seemingly forgot Jiang Yuexing's instructions to keep an eye on the old man and prevent him from entering the cultivation chamber. Of course, this was mainly because Lu Wu had chatted with the old man.
He was aware of the old man's capabilities, and although he didn't know if the old man had reached the level of a Master, Lu Wu was certain that the old man's breeding skills were undoubtedly at the Master level or higher.
Lu Wu thought, "What's the big deal if a big shot like him enters the cultivation chamber? I haven't worried about this in a long time."
As for the old man, after returning to Jiang Nan, he saw Lu Wu busy with cultivation. With nothing else to do, he decided to take a look inside the cultivation chamber...
