Chapter 40: Li Chun's Confusion
Chapter 40: Li Chun's Confusion
Lu Wu was unaware that at this moment, Li Chun was outside, asking Li Kai to bring him over.
As soon as he entered the workshop, he immediately got to work.
Unfortunately, his family's cheat wasn't as powerful as others, which allowed for mindless point allocation and leveling up. Lu Wu could only rely on a combination of the cheat and his own hard work.
After several months of effort, Lu Wu was now able to enter a state of focus within a second when working.
Once Lu Wu started working, everyone who followed him inside also settled into their own routines.
Little Skeleton, skilled at stealth, secretly picked up Lu Wu's phone, put on headphones, and retreated to the side to watch TV.
Recently, it had discovered a website called 'Thunderclap, Website', as Lu Wu had called it, which had a plethora of fascinating shows. Among them was a character that resembled the little skeleton, and it had become particularly fascinated with this show.
Although it couldn't understand the dialogue or the plot, it was still captivated by the program.
Duddu, on the other hand, found a spot to crouch down, holding the mini pig in one hand and supporting her plump chin with the other, as she stared at Lu Wu without blinking.
She felt that Lu Wu, when focused on work, looked much better than he usually did.
She could stare at him until the end of time.
Fortunately, Li Kai wasn't there at the moment, and there were no surveillance cameras installed in the workshop, so no one knew what these creatures were up to as they followed Lu Wu around.
If Li Kai found out that they were either watching TV or coveting Lu Wu, and not a single one of them was doing anything serious, his patience would surely explode!
What a waste! Such a great learning opportunity, why not give it to Li Kai! Of course, Li Kai was unaware of this, as he was currently confused by Li Chun's words.
Li Chun, standing before Li Kai, had no idea why her uncle was so confused.
She thought that Li Kai was confused because of her sudden and senseless statement, so she tried her best to explain Lu Wu's current situation to him.
To further help Lu Wu gain her uncle's favor, Li Chun even went as far as to twist the truth a little.
She intentionally downplayed the fact that Lu Wu had grabbed Duddu and prevented her from entering the advanced class, focusing instead on Lu Wu's hard work and Duddu's talent.
Li Chun hoped that through Lu Wu's efforts and Duddu's talent, she could move her uncle.
She wanted her uncle to lend a helping hand to Lu Wu.
Although Li Chun wasn't fully aware of her uncle's situation, she had heard that he was quite extraordinary and was close to passing the Professional Summoned Beast Breeder Exam.
If her uncle was willing to help Lu Wu, then Lu Wu would have a chance to pass the Summoner University entrance exam.
Of course, the reason Li Chun dared to make such a request was that she knew her uncle already held Lu Wu in high regard.
He had even helped improve the quality of the mini skeleton, and if it weren't for this, Li Chun wouldn't have dared to make such a request, knowing that Lu Wu's favorability with Li Kai was already quite high.
"Although Lu Wu's summon beast is of low quality and has poor talent, his determination to become a professional summoner is the most steadfast and powerful I have ever seen.
Even when summoning a mini skeleton, even when failing to enter the advanced class, nothing can deter him!
He continues to strive for his dream, and as a fellow youth, shouldn't we offer him some assistance within our means?"
After spending half an hour explaining, Li Chun concluded with this statement.
(End)
As Li Chun finished speaking, his eyes fixed intently on his uncle, his gaze filled with sincerity and anticipation.
On the other hand, Li Kai, listening to Li Chun's words and observing his nephew's eyes, reflected on his previous conversation with Li Chun about Lu Wu. He wondered if he had been too subtle, leading to unnecessary misunderstandings.
Is Lu Wu lacking in talent?
Can't he make it into the Elite Summoner University without clinging to my leg?
What a ridiculous notion!
While it's true that Lu Wu's luck isn't great from a summoner's perspective, with his initial summon beast being a mini skeleton and his family's financial situation not being ideal, it's reasonable to categorize him as talentless and hopeless.
But Lu Wu's situation is extraordinary!
Talent isn't solely about summoner abilities; Lu Wu's talent as a Summon Beast Breeder is on a whole other level!
He's only studied for a few months, yet his achievements far surpass his uncle's efforts of over a decade.
Li Kai couldn't wrap his head around it. How did such a prodigy, whose leg he had finally managed to cling to, sound so pitiful in Li Chun's mouth?
Can't even get into an elite university?
Please, if he passes next year's Professional Summoner Beast Breeder Exam, he can choose any summon beast he wants!
So, at this moment, Li Kai genuinely didn't know what to say.
A 1619 book, an error-free version!
On the other side, Li Chun, seeing his uncle sitting there in a daze, remained silent for a while, feeling a bit anxious. He was just about to boast about Lu Wu again when the door to the workshop at the back of the store opened.
Hearing the sound, Li Chun turned to look and saw Lu Wu. He was a bit stunned, his face slightly unnatural, thinking that Lu Wu might have overheard his words and feeling a bit embarrassed.
However, he also saw this as a good opportunity, so he kept signaling Lu Wu to come over and ask his uncle for help.
So focused on signaling Lu Wu, Li Chun didn't notice that his uncle had already stood up respectfully.
Meanwhile, Lu Wu didn't understand Li Chun's gestures and, seeing his blinking eyes, thought Li Chun wanted him to leave.
"Teacher Li, what brings you here?
Oh, are you looking for Uncle Li?"
"Then you two chat, don't mind me, I can manage on my own!"
As Lu Wu spoke, he started working in the store, selecting the materials he needed from the shelves.
Li Chun, realizing Lu Wu had misunderstood him, was dismayed. This kid was usually smart, but why was he acting so foolish now? Li Kai almost blurted out an exclamation.
As Li Chun grew anxious, Li Kai became even more so. He abruptly pushed Li Chun aside, saying, "It's fine, it's fine. We're done chatting, and now it's settled. Is there something you need help with?
If you do, just say the word. I'm super free over here!"
Li Kai, speaking with enthusiasm, rushed over to help while Li Chun stood there, mouth agape.
He immediately took the materials from Lu Wu's hands, acting like a little assistant by Lu Wu's side.
Li Chun, observing this scene from the side, heard a 'clap' as his glasses shattered, and he froze in place...
