Chapter 66: The Professional Center
Chapter 66: The Professional Center
In Fu Cheng, at the Professional Summoned Beast Breeder Center.
Early in the morning, Li Wu accompanied Li Kai to the center.
It was their first time at the Professional Center, and while Li Wu and Li Kai were curious to explore, they weren't given the chance.
As soon as they entered, they were asked if they were there for the bounty. After confirming their identities, they were led to a side hall in the center's building by a staff member, and each attendee was given a set of materials.
Then, they were asked to wait.
In this situation, the inexperienced Li Wu didn't find anything unusual.
Li Kai, on the other hand, became more certain. He now believed that there was definitely something fishy about this bounty, and it seemed like the Professional Center was baiting them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be doing this.
However, he didn't take it too seriously. If there was any foul play, it would likely target those guys, and it had nothing to do with them, the innocent bystanders.
Moreover, those guys wouldn't dare to cause trouble within the Professional Center.
In fact, Li Kai was sure that the center's efforts would be in vain.
No one in their right mind would come here to stir up trouble.
Even if they were looking for death, they wouldn't do it this way.
"There probably won't be any issues, but we should still be cautious and prioritize protecting Teacher Li Wu."
Li Kai's thoughts were transparent to Li Wu.
His attention was solely focused on the set of materials.
The materials distributed by the Professional Center were the same as the ones mentioned on the official website, containing information about a particular Summoned Beast.
...
Name: Unknown
Strength: 1 Star [Ordinary]
Quality: Unknown
Attribute: Unknown
Introduction: A special egg-shaped life form that feeds on attributeless energy and can roll.
Condition: Unable to absorb energy, resulting in life force drain...
...
In addition to the basic information about the Summoned Beast, below were attached visual materials of the beast.
As Li Wu read through the materials, his brows furrowed, and he wasn't alone; almost everyone in the room was frowning.
Someone immediately spoke up, "With just these materials, how can we tell anything? Can I see the Summoned Beast myself?"
The Professional Center was clearly prepared for this, and they responded promptly.
"Rest assured, everyone. We have made arrangements in this regard.
The materials we distributed have serial numbers. Once we're ready, we will invite you in according to these numbers, and each of you will have 5 minutes to observe the Summoned Beast!"
This response didn't satisfy those present.
"Five minutes is too short, isn't it?"
"Yeah, what can we do in just 5 minutes?"
"The time should be extended to at least half an hour!"
...
For a moment, everyone in the hall voiced their desire for an extension.
The staff at the Professional Center was firm in their decision, stating that it would be precisely five minutes, no more, no less.
Realizing there was no room for negotiation, the attendees stopped their complaints and turned their attention back to the materials.
However, with only the materials in hand and no actual observation, there was little they could deduce.
Soon, everyone was at a loss for something to do.
Just as everyone was idle, wondering how to pass the time, Li Wu kicked Li Kai, who then stood up, rubbing his nose.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a suggestion!"
Li Kai stood up and boldly announced, drawing everyone's attention.
"Everyone here has come for the bounty, but only one person will succeed and receive the reward. Among us, all but one, perhaps even everyone, will return empty-handed."
Arriving with high spirits, only to leave in disappointment, is something none of us would want, right?"
Li Kai's words instantly resonated with everyone present.
But no one spoke; all eyes were on Li Kai as he took the stage.
At this moment, Lu Wu surveyed the crowd, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
An opportunity!
A great opportunity!
It was clear that Lu Wu had prompted Li Kai to start.
In truth, while Lu Wu had confidence in himself, it wasn't blind faith.
Especially when he arrived at the Professional Center and saw the hundreds of participants, with more still arriving, Lu Wu began to make alternative plans.
Better safe than sorry, he thought, and decided to take action to avoid returning empty-handed in case of failure.
But what could he do in this situation?
In a 1619 book bar, he found the faultless version.
Of course, the only option was to covet the knowledge of those present. Among the hundred or so breeders, the non-professionals didn't matter, but the professionals were a different story. Just a few pointers from any one of them would be invaluable.
However, after the initial incident with Li Kai, Lu Wu realized that there was no such thing as love without reason in this world.
It was impossible for Lu Wu to randomly choose a professional breeder and ask to be taken under their wing. In this case, Lu Wu could only think of a solution.
In situations like this, he couldn't just ask others for help without offering something in return. It had to be a mutually beneficial arrangement.
So, he asked Li Kai to take the stage.
Li Kai, having captured the attention of everyone present and resonated with them, seamlessly transitioned to expressing Lu Wu's idea.
"I think we can do this.
Since we've gathered here, let's make the most of it. After all, we already have a ready-made venue.
We can turn today's bounty into a breeder seminar, sharing our experiences and knowledge.
Even if we don't complete the bounty and earn the reward, it won't be a wasted trip, right?"
Li Kai's words sparked the interest of many breeders in the audience.
But interest is one thing; creating a lively atmosphere is another matter.
Fortunately, Lu Wu had prepared for this in advance.
Seeing that everyone was somewhat interested, Li Kai added more fuel to the fire.
"It seems like everyone is quite keen. In that case, I'll take the lead and start.
I've been studying Little Skeleton recently and have some insights to share."
When Li Kai mentioned starting, the breeders present were curious, but their interest waned as soon as he said "Little Skeleton."
In their eyes, what was there to research about Little Skeleton? This summon beast had little breeding value, and few breeders were interested in studying it.
However, no one spoke up. After all, it was better than being bored.
As they listened, their attention was fully captured.
"I've developed a quality enhancement plan for Little Skeleton. With just 250,000 yuan worth of materials, it can elevate Little Skeleton's quality to Black Iron grade."
Li Kai's words instantly heated up the atmosphere.
The previously quiet hall buzzed with discussion among the breeders.
250,000 yuan?
Black Iron grade?
How is that possible?
Ignoring the reactions, Li Kai directly shared the "Little Skeleton's Training Manual," while Lu Wu attentively prepared to pick the brains of the breeders present...
