Chapter 288: Departure
Chapter 288: Departure
Time flew by, and the end of March arrived swiftly.
The University League was set to commence in early April.
However, for a competition of this scale, preparations usually began in advance.
By the end of March, the various preparations for the University League were about to kick off.
Participants needed to make their way to the capital city one after another.
The venue for the University League was the Phoenix Nest Training Ground, a place Li Wu had visited once before.
As the team captain of Jiangnan University, Li Wu naturally had to start preparing for the departure.
However, just before the departure, Li Wu remained holed up in the breeding room, not coming out.
Yes, he was making his final effort!
But the direction of his effort at this time was not focused on improving the quality of the Little Skeleton.
Even though Li Wu rushed after returning from Dragon Island, he ultimately failed to enhance the Little Skeleton's quality before the start of the league.
This was mainly because Li Wu had his heart set on something bigger.
He wasn't satisfied with merely improving the Little Skeleton's quality; he also planned to enhance the quality of the Little Skeleton's phone simultaneously.
As a result, the enhancement plan was ready, but there was a problem with the materials.
A crucial material was missing.
What's more, this material was preferably of legendary quality, making it challenging to obtain.
There were no legendary-quality materials available on the market, so Li Wu had to temporarily put the Little Skeleton's enhancement on hold, planning to see if he could trade for it in the capital city.
What Li Wu was working on at the moment was their mode of transportation for this trip.
When it comes to traveling, the most important thing is style.
Taking the train would be boring, so Li Wu decided to take this opportunity to go on a road trip to the capital city.
For the journey of several thousand kilometers from Jiangnan to the capital, an exceptional vehicle was needed, and such a vehicle could be purchased on the market, but Li Wu didn't want that.
Instead of buying one, Li Wu preferred to build or modify his own vehicle.
After all, this wasn't his first time doing something like this.
Especially now that Jiangnan's Breeding Academy had become so powerful, Li Wu could outsource many tasks.
On top of that, he was willing to spend money.
In the end, Li Wu successfully created the vehicle.
"Finally, it's done!"
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Li Wu proudly admired the vehicle before him.
The vehicle in front of Li Wu was twelve meters long, five meters wide, and five meters high, making it a giant among RVs.
But the most remarkable feature of this vehicle wasn't its size.
Nor was it the interior design, for which Li Wu had hired a top-tier designer.
It was the vehicle itself.
This vehicle, like the one Li Wu had created during the open day, was shaped like a car but was, in fact, a piece of equipment.
Every part of the vehicle was composed of equipment items.
The lowest-grade equipment was Iron Rank, and the highest-grade equipment even reached Gold Rank."
Moreover, this wasn't just a random assembly of parts.
In the system's inspection, it was recognized as a complete piece of equipment.
...
Name: Li Wu's Showoff RV
Overall Quality: Gold Rank
Overall Performance: In terms of defense, the defense system can withstand five minutes of all-out attacks from Overlord-level Summoned Beasts.
Speed: When fully accelerated, it can reach a speed of 1200 kilometers per hour while ensuring a comfortable ride for the occupants.
Attack: Well, the vehicle is not equipped with offensive capabilities, but if you consider its collision as an attack, it can withstand a collision from an Overlord-level Summoned Beast.
Overall Evaluation: This is an exceptionally high-performance RV.
If one had to find fault with this RV, it would be its cost and daily consumption.
PS: Don't ask if you're broke; you'll cry!
Overall, Li Wu was quite satisfied with the vehicle he had created.
It had excellent performance and a cool appearance.
As the vehicle was finally ready, Li Wu's departure preparations were also complete.
Since the Cai Bi seeds Li Wu had planted two months ago were still in the Mystic Realm, they planned to head directly to the capital city from there.
There were only four people in Li Wu's vehicle: Li Kai, the driver, the old man Tie Xiong, Li Wu, and Dudu, along with a whole car full of Summoned Beasts and supplies.
Thus, Li Wu began his road trip to the capital city.
When they first set out, Li Wu was particularly interested in the vehicle he had created.
He drove the vehicle himself at the start of the journey.
As they left the school gates, Li Wu kept the speed moderate, but once they hit the highway, he accelerated to 500 kilometers per hour.
Although this was far from the vehicle's maximum speed, it still shocked the experienced drivers on the road.
The League's enforcement department had to intercept the vehicle.
When he was stopped, Li Wu was still a bit confused.
"Was I driving too fast?"
"No, you were flying too low!"
After this commotion, Li Wu had no choice but to slow down.
But as soon as he reduced the speed, Li Wu felt it was no fun, so he handed the wheel to Li Kai and went to the back of the vehicle to enjoy the scenery along the way.
It must be said that since Li Wu's arrival in this world, he had been either studying like crazy or on the road to study.
Most of the time, Li Wu spent his days confined to a small space.
He rarely had the time or opportunity to go out, let alone embark on a road trip.
This was why Li Wu chose to take a road trip to the capital.
Sitting on the sofa in the carriage, he gazed at the passing scenery, snacking on the treats Dudu handed him while occasionally pinching the chubby cheeks of the little dragon loli, who was watching TV with the little skeleton, her face still round from baby fat. A sense of contentment washed over him.
"Now this is life!"
"It seems I've been cooped up for too long, living too austerely.
I'm still young, and I should take the time to explore and experience different worlds and situations."
In this way, Li Wu would discover.
In a 6-9-1-bar-1-look-at-no-mistake version!
Yep, studying was still interesting! And just a few hours into his road trip, Li Wu started to feel a bit bored.
The scenery outside the window was mostly the same, and the snacks were limited. Sitting idly in the carriage, he couldn't do much, so he snatched the little skeleton's phone again and resumed his studies.
They were enjoying the TV when Li Wu suddenly grabbed the phone.
Both the little skeleton and Intiksis were clearly unhappy.
Intiksis, in particular, immediately slapped her chest and, hands on her hips, yelled at Li Wu, "Give this phone to me, you little rascal!
I want to watch TV with the little skeleton!"
Yep, this little girl had only joined them less than half a month ago, and the little skeleton was already leading her down the path of internet addiction.
Li Wu was quite pleased with this development.
He casually tossed two phones over to deal with the little girl and the little skeleton.
However, although she now had a new phone to play with, Intiksis was clearly more interested in the little skeleton's phone.
She could sense it.
The little skeleton's phone was the best.
Especially when playing games, the little skeleton's phone was much more fun than the others.
It ran faster and was less prone to breaking, which Intiksis loved.
"If only I had a phone like this," the little dragon loli said.
Li Wu's lips curled up in a smirk when he heard this.
With expectations came opportunities, and girls with expectations were the easiest to deceive.
With her intelligence, even if the little skeleton's phone couldn't catch dragons after its upgrade, Li Wu was confident that he could use it to trick her into a contract once he became stronger.
...
As Li Wu and his group headed towards the capital, in a secret realm, a young man was commanding his summoned beast in battle.
His opponent was a Lord Rank 1-Star summoned beast, while his own summoned beast was only a Leader Rank 3.
However, despite its lower rank, the young man's summoned beast possessed formidable combat power, holding its own against the Lord Rank 1-Star opponent without any disadvantage.
If Li Wu were here, he would recognize the young man.
It was none other than Town Tian, whom he had made feel inferior at the Breeder Tournament last year.
Town Tian had undergone significant changes since then.
Last year, he exuded confidence, elegance, and scholarly aura.
Now, he emanated a different kind of energy, a sharpness and vigor that he lacked before.
As he watched his summoned beast struggle in battle, Town Tian's face remained calm and resolute.
His eyes were fixed on the battlefield, his mind racing.
One after another, strategies to defeat the enemy flooded his thoughts.
He now had a hundred ways to defeat his opponent, ninety-nine of which were simple, but he deliberately chose the most challenging one.
Because his time was running out.
He didn't need to put more pressure on himself to accelerate his growth.
"Let the storm come with greater fury, for how can a strong person grow without weathering the storm?"
As Town Tian's murmur echoed, he activated the most challenging mode, putting both his and his summoned beast's lives on the line.
He was seeking a breakthrough in the midst of adversity.
His luck held, and this opportunity presented itself.
Ten minutes later, he and his summoned beast, both bloodied and battered, emerged victorious.
They had both advanced to the Lord Rank in that battle.
As Town Tian broke through, a person approached him.
"Congratulations, Young Master, on becoming a Master Summoner.
At 22 years old, you're only a year behind the so-called genius Zhang Yuchi, and not only are you a Master Summoner, but you're also a Master Breeder, far surpassing the so-called Zhang Yuchi."
Town Tian remained calm in the face of his subordinate's flattery.
He even changed the subject, "Isn't the university league about to start?"
His subordinate was puzzled but nodded immediately.
"Yes, it's coming up soon."
"Then get me a spot as a referee. As a Master Summoner, I should be qualified for such a position, right?"
As soon as Town Tian spoke, his subordinate instantly understood his intention...
