Chapter 49: Summon Beast Equipment Research
Chapter 49: Summon Beast Equipment Research
The 5 million yuan from Hao Zhijian had arrived, but Lu Wu didn't feel particularly elated. After all, although the money was nominally for Li Kai, it was actually his. Li Kai was merely a front, a tool in Lu Wu's plan.
Of course, Lu Wu wouldn't ask Li Kai for the money, nor did he need to. It was better to keep the money with Li Kai than with him, as several million yuan would leave a trace and cause trouble if handled directly.
Lu Wu had always been generous when it came to spending money on Li Kai's behalf, never holding back or frowning. Besides, this 5 million yuan was earned by Lu Wu himself, so it was his money to spend as he wished.
However, feeling justified was one thing, and Lu Wu's conscience was another matter. Previously, when using Li Kai's money, Lu Wu knew he had contributed, but he still felt a bit embarrassed.
Lu Wu had some self-respect, and he couldn't be too bold when spending someone else's money. He couldn't be carefree or spend it without a care in the world.
Now, with the money he had earned himself, Lu Wu felt more confident and generous.
With the funds available, Lu Wu could finally explore the ideas he had only dared to think about, such as researching summon beast equipment! Yes, that's right, equipment like the one used by the little skeleton—the charged baseball bat.
In fact, ever since that equipment came into play, Lu Wu had been planning to arm the little skeleton. He had studied the rules of the tournament regarding this aspect.
After his research, Lu Wu discovered that summon beasts were allowed to use equipment, but with certain restrictions. It had to be companion gear, and no more than three pieces could be equipped.
Companion gear, in reality, was similar to the little skeleton's baseball bat. It was equipment that mutated during the advancement process, unique to individual summon beasts and unusable by others.
In other words, the little skeleton's baseball bat could be brought to matches, and outside of competitions, the little skeleton could equip two additional pieces of gear.
This ignited Lu Wu's enthusiasm.
Although the high school tournament wouldn't commence until next year, various warm-up matches would soon take place.
These warm-up matches were crucial for students aiming to participate in the tournament, providing them with an early taste of the competition's atmosphere and experience. The elite class participated in these matches every year.
Lu Wu and his classmates weren't from the elite class, but they would also join these warm-up matches.
Not only did Lu Wu plan to participate, but he also envisioned crushing the elite class school team from Quancheng No.3 High School in these warm-up matches.
However, having assessed the entire school, Lu Wu was well aware of the caliber of students at Quancheng No.3 High School, including some exceptional ones.
Lu Wu was confident he could defeat them in the tournament, but the warm-up matches were just around the corner, starting within a month at most.
This left Lu Wu with limited time. He wanted to enhance the little skeleton's quality and combat power, but he fell short. To substantially improve its combat strength, Lu Wu had to rely on equipment.
Fortunately, Hao Zhijian's money arrived just in time, 5 million yuan, enough for Lu Wu to research and experiment with the little skeleton's gear.
"The little skeleton's skeletal quality has improved, but its advantages still lie in speed and agility.
In close combat, face-to-face battles, the little skeleton's strength is among the weakest in its category.
Therefore, the equipment for the little skeleton should primarily focus on increasing its speed."
After witnessing the battle with Frozen Bird, Li Wu realized that Little Skeleton lacked long-range attacks, so he designed a set of equipment for it.
The set consisted of leather armor, a cloak, a pair of boots, and three flying daggers. Li Wu planned to create a backup set with the leather armor, cloak, and boots.
After all, the creation of companion weapons was a matter of chance, and Li Wu wasn't entirely sure if he could successfully craft them. He decided to first obtain the set and let Little Skeleton wear it for a while.
During this period, Little Skeleton would intensely practice its flying dagger skills.
Yes, it would take some time, and Li Wu wouldn't immediately provide a full set of equipment for Little Skeleton.
This wasn't as simple as it seemed! After Little Skeleton's baseball bat was created, Li Wu immediately began researching this aspect.
He discovered that the baseball bat could become Little Skeleton's companion weapon, and it was related to Little Skeleton's emotions.
Firstly, Little Skeleton had been using the baseball bat for a while, and secondly, it was during the period when Little Skeleton wanted to use the bat to beat the pig.
Under that emotional state, and with the help of Little Skeleton Soup 1.0, the equipment finally took shape.
In the sixth book of the ninth volume, the error-free version!
So, for Little Skeleton to have more equipment, the most important thing was for it to like the equipment itself.
In this case, Li Wu needed to purchase Little Skeleton's equipment first and let it cultivate some emotional attachment to the items before bringing them back.
In a situation where herding one sheep was challenging, and herding two sheep was even more difficult, Li Wu also bought a set of equipment for Tuan Tuan, specifically the leather armor to enhance its defense.
After all, this pig was also a teammate of Little Skeleton.
As for Hao Zhijian's Frozen Bird? Sorry, who is Hao Zhijian? And what is this Frozen Bird thing?
A wealthy buddy, plus a competition tool beast, what's the need for a bicycle?
Just ignore them! With money at his disposal, Li Wu's items arrived swiftly.
The very next day after securing 5 million yuan, Little Skeleton and Tuan Tuan were both better armed.
Although their equipment was ordinary without any attribute bonuses, wearing them made a significant difference.
This made Hao Zhijian extremely envious.
At the same time, Hao Zhijian also felt a bit expectant.
He thought that since Li Wu and his group hadn't spent any money, yet their summoned creatures had equipment, his investment of 5 million yuan should also yield results, right?
Hao Zhijian believed it should!
His equipment hadn't arrived yet, probably still in preparation, after all, he had spent money, so the items should be better than Li Wu's!
He just needed to patiently wait a couple more days.
But after waiting a week, during which Little Skeleton and Tuan Tuan had changed their equipment several times, there was still no sign of Hao Zhijian's gear.
Li Kai showed no intention of providing any equipment for him.
This made Hao Zhijian increasingly anxious.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he seized the opportunity while Li Kai was arranging a training plan for Frozen Bird and casually mentioned the equipment in passing.
"Oh, you want that equipment too?" Li Kai asked, his tone direct.
Hao Zhijian, thrilled to have the topic brought up directly, nodded vigorously, his mind racing like a little chick.
Li Kai took a drag from his cigarette, glanced at his phone, and replied nonchalantly, "If you want it, you'll have to pay extra!"
