Chapter 44: The Wealthy Buddy
Chapter 44: The Wealthy Buddy
Lu Wu felt like a clever little rascal. Since his ideal teammates were all in the advanced class, he decided to scout one from there. All he had to do was defeat one of them, right?
Lu Wu swore that this was purely about finding a teammate and had nothing to do with getting back at Ye Qingshe.
Besides, how could this be considered revenge? The teachers worked so hard to teach the advanced class; he was just helping to relieve some of their pressure, wasn't he? The more Lu Wu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he immediately devised a detailed plan to recruit a teammate.
Early the next morning, Lu Wu set out with Dudu to put his plan into action.
In truth, Lu Wu's plan was rather simple.
Given his not-so-stellar reputation at school, he decided to swagger over to the advanced class, rubbing his success in their faces and stirring up their emotions.
Then, he would provoke a chosen target and beat her up, kicking her out of the advanced class.
After that, he would recruit her! If she didn't join, he'd keep fighting until she cried! Once she was recruited, he'd sweeten the deal with some treats. The plan was straightforward, a bit rough around the edges, but effective.
However, just as Lu Wu was about to act, a problem arose.
He was now a school celebrity, attracting the attention of his peers.
Especially when he and Dudu were together, heading towards the advanced class, it caused quite a stir throughout the school.
The news reached the principal of Quancheng No.3 School, who broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing it.
Could this troublemaker be planning to pick a fight with the entire advanced class?
If Lu Wu went through with this, the whole school would be turned upside down.
The principal quickly issued an order for Li Chun to stop Lu Wu and sent out an official school-wide announcement regarding the matter.
The announcement was lengthy, formal, and official, but the underlying message was clear: Lu Wu and his companion were not allowed in the advanced class area.
Lu Wu was not pleased.
Why?
Why pick on him, a poor, weak, and helpless ordinary student? Lu Wu felt wronged. He had spent a lot of time and effort coming up with this plan to recruit a teammate, only to have it thwarted, leaving him disheartened.
On the other hand, the advanced class, including Ye Qingshe, was not happy either.
Rumor has it that Ye Qingshe had flown into a rage several times over this incident, making life difficult for the advanced class.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Lu Wu, as he was just an ordinary student. Ye Qingshe's anger couldn't reach him.
Lu Wu was busy with his own plans! Since his attempt to find a teammate in the advanced class had failed, he had to think of another approach, and Li Chun provided significant assistance in this regard. Li Chun, being one of the few who understood Lu Wu's intentions, knew that Lu Wu wanted to form a team and find a teammate, all for Dudu's sake.
So, with Li Chun's help, Lu Wu obtained a list of wealthy students in the school.
As expected, over ninety percent of the students on the list were from the advanced class, making it impossible for Lu Wu to approach them.
With no other choice, Lu Wu decided to find a wealthy student outside the advanced class to be his teammate, even if it meant just finding someone to support.
This search led Lu Wu to discover a storybook.
The wealthy students who remained in the ordinary class each had their own unique stories. Some were content with a laid-back lifestyle, while others had family issues or dramatic events that kept them out of the advanced class.
After this realization, Lu Wu almost gave up on finding a wealthy teammate, settling for anyone who could provide support.
However, every time he thought of this, Lu Wu would recall Li Kai, who had almost emptied his family's fortune.
Over the past month or so, Lu Wu's various experiments had already cost him several hundred thousand.
Although he still had some savings, Lu Wu felt a twinge of guilt as he continued to spend. After all, in the coming year, Lu Wu had to support himself, Dudu, and his teammates, which would easily cost a few million.
Speaking of which, which team didn't have a rich member?
Even a laid-back team like the Light Music Girls had Lu Wu's beloved Elder Sister, who was crucial for their college entrance examination. Such a team must have a wealthy member; otherwise, how would they manage their expenses?
But what if there wasn't one?
Just as Lu Wu was about to despair, Li Chun hesitantly recommended someone to him.
"Hao Zhijian? This name sounds vaguely familiar!
Oh, isn't he the unlucky guy who was bullied by TuanTuan?"
Fortunately, Lu Wu had a photographic memory; otherwise, he might not have remembered that just a week or two ago, this guy had eagerly come to cause trouble for him, only to be bullied by TuanTuan and expelled from the elite class by Ye Qingshe.
Lu Wu was surprised that Li Chun would recommend him.
But upon careful consideration, he thought it might not be a bad idea to recruit him.
Although this guy had some conflicts with him and wasn't a girl, which would have been softer, his Summoned Beast was decent, and he came from a wealthy family. As a potential Wealthy Buddy, he seemed suitable; at least, Lu Wu wouldn't feel too guilty about taking advantage of him.
If it were a cute girl, Lu Wu might not have had the heart to do it.
In the One-Six-One-Nine-One-Bar-One-Look-No-Error version!
"Alright, let's go with him then!"
After making up his mind, Lu Wu immediately confirmed this choice.
However, while the choice was made, figuring out how to bring this person over was another issue.
Lu Wu did have some conflicts with him, and his current situation was partly due to Lu Wu. Hao Zhijian probably still held a grudge, so Lu Wu didn't think he could just ask, and Hao Zhijian would agree.
"Hmm, I need to be more tactful. I should find a way to cripple him first, and then I'll cripple him with persuasion!"
Yes, that's it!"
As Lu Wu spoke, he once again immersed himself in his thoughts, planning how to subdue this Wealthy Buddy through force and wit.
Beside him, Li Chun had intended to tell Lu Wu that Hao Zhijian had actually sought him out, hoping to join Lu Wu's team.
But seeing that Lu Wu had already agreed and was deep in his thoughts, Li Chun decided not to mention it.
So, without knowing the full story, Lu Wu busied himself and eventually created a Persuasion Guide for Hao Zhijian.
After finishing it, Lu Wu immediately took Dudu with him to confront Hao Zhijian.
The two of them found Hao Zhijian in his class and, without waiting for Hao Zhijian to react, Lu Wu said, "You want to fight me? Here, I'll give you a chance! Let's find a place for our Summoned Beasts to battle!"
Hao Zhijian was a bit dazed; this situation was not what he had expected.
"That... I..."
"Don't be a wimp. If you're a man, follow me!"
Saying this, Lu Wu directly pulled Hao Zhijian and started walking, determined to conquer this Wealthy Buddy by force today!
