Chapter 71: The Examination
It turned out that shamelessness was indeed a powerful weapon.
He Tian Guang was still processing the words 'my disciple' from Zhao Kai Ming when the old man quickly changed his demeanor. With a face full of kindness and warmth, he made his way to the hall where Li Wu was located.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Zhao Kai Ming, the director of the Fucheng Professional Summoning Beast Breeding Center. I would like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to all of you over the past ten days due to our center's mistake."
The old man's first words left everyone in the hall stunned.
It wasn't so much the eloquence of the old man that shocked them, but rather his status.
As the director of the Professional Center, he was undoubtedly a high-ranking and influential figure. To have such a prominent person come to apologize was indeed surprising, and it was only natural for everyone present to be taken aback. Even the professional breeders stood up immediately and gathered around, hoping to get acquainted with such a prominent figure.
However, Zhao Kai Ming had a clear objective in mind. He locked his gaze onto Li Wu, walking up to him and grasping his hand, "Young man, I've been observing your performance these past few days, and I must say, it's impressive. It reminds me of my younger self.
Seeing you is like seeing my own grandson; I feel a special connection."
He Tian Guang couldn't help but smirk at these words.
How shameless! You're only 18, and you've already reached the level of a professional breeder? And you've gained the recognition of nearly 90 other breeders of similar caliber?
Moreover, didn't you say at first sight that 'this pretty boy doesn't seem like a good person'? He Tian Guang felt a pang of jealousy, wishing Li Wu could see through Zhao Kai Ming's fake exterior and recognize his true nature.
After all, he, too, had his eyes on Li Wu.
As someone who had been observing Li Wu for half a month, He Tian Guang was well aware of the boy's talent.
Not only did Li Wu possess an incredible memory and quick wit, but he also had a wild imagination, a talent for logical reasoning and integration, ensuring his ideas remained grounded.
Most importantly, Li Wu had a generous heart!
Not everyone was like him, willing to share their knowledge and thought processes selflessly.
A child like this, even Zhao Kai Ming couldn't help but feel a twinge of desire to take him under his wing.
However, from the current situation, it seemed that Zhao Kai Ming's wish to take Li Wu as his disciple was already impossible.
As soon as the old man took Li Wu's hand, he began discussing Li Wu's previous research, using it as a starting point for their conversation.
Zhao Kai Ming assumed the role of a kind and doting grandfather.
His desire to take Li Wu as his disciple was evident, as he couldn't stop praising Li Wu's talent and lamenting the need for a good teacher to guide him. He Tian Guang watched this with a mixture of envy and frustration.
He even considered reporting the old man for corruption, hoping to have him arrested and then take Li Wu as his own disciple.
Of course, these were just his jealous thoughts, and he quickly dismissed them. Instead, he chose to ignore the situation and focus on the aftermath of the fishing incident.
With the old man's appearance, it seemed that the restrictions on their freedom were coming to an end.
It was time to wrap up the fishing incident and conduct the final examinations for the non-professional breeders, as well as provide reassurance to the professional breeders. He Tian Guang didn't have the time to keep an eye on the old man.
Besides, even if he did, it wouldn't make much difference now.
However, while He Tian Guang had given up on observing Zhao Kai Ming, there was someone else in the hall who discreetly watched the old man and Li Wu, their eyes glinting with curiosity.
(End of Chapter 71)
Old Man Zhuoma approached Lu Wu and offered a handshake, which caught Lu Wu off guard. Despite this, Lu Wu was thrilled at the prospect.
Especially when he realized that the old man seemed to want to take him as a student, Lu Wu's eyes lit up with excitement. For Lu Wu, becoming a disciple was a no-brainer.
If someone was willing to offer support, Lu Wu would gladly take it, regardless of the size or strength of the opportunity.
He decided to seize the chance and develop himself before worrying about the details.
Just as Lu Wu was about to bow and embrace this opportunity, He Tianguang entered the room.
"Director, the principal is looking for you. He wants you to go to him immediately!"
The interruption didn't bother Lu Wu, but Zhao Kaiming felt infuriated, believing he was being singled out. He glared at He Tianguang, his expression filled with suspicion.
He Tianguang was innocent; he hadn't reported the old man.
"Little Lu, I'll be right back. Here's Zhao Grandpa's number; you can note it down. Once he's done, we can have a proper chat."
He Tianguang left, not forgetting to shoot a threatening glare at He Tianguang, as if saying, 'I've claimed this one; don't you dare take him from me!'
He Tianguang pouted, thinking of challenging the old man, but he knew better. The timely call from the principal made He Tianguang realize that not only were they interested in this student, but the other old men probably had their eyes on him too.
He wouldn't dare compete with those veterans for a student.
Despite his thoughts, He Tianguang secretly passed Lu Wu a note.
"Here's my number. If you have any questions about breeding, feel free to contact me."
Lu Wu looked at the note in his hand and then at the dignified middle-aged man in front of him, feeling a bit bewildered.
What was going on? Why were these opportunities, which he couldn't grasp before, now presenting themselves to him?
Was this the right way to unlock his genius?
Lu Wu wondered if he might switch roles in this situation, as it had happened to him before. It had happened to Li Kai and the 89 non-professional breeders as well.
However, Lu Wu thought that these two were influential figures at the Professional Center, and it was unlikely that they would switch roles so easily.
Meanwhile, He Tianguang, after giving Lu Wu the note, got down to business.
The Professional Center had already prepared for the assessment of the 89 non-professional breeders.
After passing the note to Lu Wu, He Tianguang took the breeders to the assessment.
The assessment began, and everyone felt a bit tense.
However, when the test started, everyone stared at the computers in front of them, bewildered.
Was this it?
"Yes, since this is an informal assessment, the test is relatively simple. You only need to answer the questions on the computer.
You'll have two hours to complete the test, and if you score over 100 points, you'll pass this assessment.
Then, we can provide you with professional breeder support."
