Chapter 48: A Million Yuan with One Swing
Chapter 48: A Million Yuan with One Swing
Regarding the idea of placing the bird in the refrigerator to freeze it, Hao Zhijian couldn't help but feel it was a far-fetched plan.
Why would the old man think that just because the bird was named 'Frozen Bird', it should be put in the fridge to freeze?
Hao Zhijian had considered this idea before and even went as far as enrolling in a training course to awaken Ice Skills.
For this matter, the Hao family had spent over a million yuan, yet in the end, not a single Ice Skill had awakened.
Finally, the teacher from the training course concluded that the bird lacked the talent for magical skills.
So, when Li Kai suggested that Hao Zhijian put the bird in the fridge, the Hao family was skeptical. They hesitated, unsure of what to do.
In the end, it was Hao Renjie who made the decision to go ahead with it.
Since they had already placed their hopes on Li Kai as their last resort, believing he could help Hao Zhijian get into Summoner University, they had to trust him and take the gamble.
However, they needed to be cautious. Hao Zhijian was instructed to stay by the refrigerator and not fall asleep. If anything happened to Frozen Bird, they needed to immediately take it out.
With Hao Renjie's decision, the Hao family sprang into action.
After placing Frozen Bird in the fridge, the family stayed awake all night, keeping watch by the refrigerator.
They waited the entire night.
After a sleepless night, the family opened the fridge with nervous anticipation.
As soon as the fridge door opened, the Hao family's hearts sank. The half-meter-tall Frozen Bird was now a frozen block of ice.
"Zhijian didn't suffer any backlash, which means Frozen Bird isn't dead yet.
Quick, quickly take it out and warm it up."
Under Hao Renjie's command, the family scrambled to retrieve the bird.
Just as they rushed towards it, the frozen bird's eyes suddenly opened, and without warning, it flew straight up, out of the kitchen, and into the living room.
The Hao family was startled and about to chase after it when they heard a clear chirp, followed by a cold wind that forced them back into the kitchen.
"What's happening?"
The Hao family looked at each other in disbelief, their bloodshot eyes filled with confusion and belated joy.
"Has Frozen Bird really awakened Ice Skills?"
"It must be!"
Overjoyed, the three of them rushed out of the kitchen after the cold wind stopped. But as they stepped out, they were stunned to see that their nearly hundred-square-meter living room was now completely covered in a thin layer of ice.
Witnessing this, the Hao family couldn't help but feel immense respect for Master Li: "Master Li truly lives up to his name. We spent over a million yuan without solving the problem, but he fixed it with just a single sentence and ten thousand yuan!"
They had no idea that the one who solved the problem wasn't Li Kai, but Lu Wu, whom Hao Zhijian had looked down upon.
And they were even more unaware that Lu Wu was able to solve the problem because they had already spent over a million yuan on it beforehand.
Their money wasn't wasted; they just lacked a trigger.
So, it wasn't that Li Kai solved a problem that a million yuan couldn't.
Instead, with one sentence, he took credit for the accumulated efforts worth a million yuan.
Of course, the Hao family was unaware of this, and at that moment, they were immersed in the awe of Frozen Bird's powerful awakening.
In their minds, there was only one thought: "Master Li is incredible!"
After shouting this, the Hao family rushed to embrace Frozen Bird.
To them, this bird was no ordinary creature; it was their ticket to a higher level.
With such a powerful burst skill, as long as they train properly, getting into Summoner University should be a piece of cake.
And this was just the beginning of their encounter with Li Kai.
After spending just 100,000 yuan on their first contact, they hadn't even fully established a connection with Li Kai, yet they were already witnessing such incredible results. If they were to invest millions, who knows how high they could soar!
The Hao family, in a moment of impulsiveness, wanted to rush over to Li Kai's place immediately.
As long as they spent enough money, wouldn't they have a chance at the Elite Summoner University? In this situation, the Hao family no longer held any grudge against Lu Wu, and even considered him their lucky star.
If not for Lu Wu's intervention, Hao Zhijian wouldn't have been able to leave the Advanced Class, let alone have the opportunity to connect with Li Kai. Who knows when he would be able to unlock his skill, let alone pass the entrance exam for Summoner University!
Of course, their emotions were running high, and their impulsive actions were a result of their excitement.
This didn't mean they would return to thank Lu Wu, as their minds were now solely focused on two things: the Frosty Bird's skill and how to secure Li Kai's support.
In a 6-9-1-book-1-look-1-error version!
After the Frosty Bird's burst of power, the entire bird seemed to have exhausted its stamina, standing unsteadily as if it might collapse at any moment. It was highly unlikely that the bird could perform another such feat.
The Hao family, in a stroke of inspiration, decided to bring the bird directly to Li Kai.
On one hand, they wanted Li Kai to take a look at the bird, and on the other, they hoped to increase their favorability with Li Kai to secure their connection with him.
They had their own agenda, and they knew that Lu Wu had managed to gain Li Kai's favor without spending a dime. They believed their son was no less capable than Lu Wu, and they wanted their son to receive the same treatment.
Whether or not they saved money was secondary; the primary goal was to secure Li Kai's favor.
They thought that if Li Kai took a liking to their son and accepted him as a disciple, their son would truly soar to success.
Well, the idea wasn't bad, but unfortunately, they were being seen as mere cash cows.
From the moment Hao Zhijian met Li Kai, they had fallen into Lu Wu's trap.
Now, they were visiting early in the morning, only to be slaughtered.
Li Kai didn't show any warmth towards the family, exuding an aura of aloofness that made him seem unapproachable.
The Hao family had no choice but to call Lu Wu for help in smoothing things over.
Lu Wu readily agreed and arrived with a butcher knife.
The subsequent events proceeded smoothly, and with Lu Wu's assistance, Li Kai examined the bird and provided a comprehensive training plan for the Frosty Bird.
This plan was thorough, covering training and nutrition, among other aspects.
It wasn't free, though; for this plan, the Hao family paid 5 million yuan.
Looking at the 5 million yuan in their account, Lu Wu felt for the first time that money was indeed a wonderful thing.
From start to finish, neither he nor Li Kai had asked for a price; it was the Hao family who kept increasing their offer until they reached 5 million yuan, which made Lu Wu extremely satisfied.
The Hao family was also delighted, feeling that the 5 million yuan was a worthy investment for Li Kai's plan and the opportunity to secure his favor.
