Chapter 74: Companion Phone?
Chapter 74: Companion Phone?
Lu Wu's brain was already pretty sharp, especially when it came to matters of benefits. His mind was spinning with ideas.
Once you understand one thing, you understand a hundred!
"If I win the championship in the High School League and join Jiangnan University as the champion, wouldn't that greatly enhance the reputation of our university?"
Lu Wu didn't mention the reward, but his excitement was evident on his face, clearly revealing his thoughts.
He was almost ready to choke Zhang Wentao and demand, "Give me the money!"
Faced with this, Zhang Wentao felt particularly helpless.
Please, don't add unnecessary drama, okay?
He valued Lu Wu for his talent as a breeder, not for his abilities as a summoner.
He didn't even expect Lu Wu to perform exceptionally well in the High School League.
Zhang Wentao knew better than Lu Wu the caliber of talent that would be present at the provincial tournament, let alone the city-level competition. Even with the Mini Skeleton, Lu Wu might not achieve much.
So Zhang Wentao really wanted to tell Lu Wu, "Don't bother with the High School League; focus on the breeder competition next year, okay?"
But seeing Lu Wu's excited and enthusiastic expression, Zhang Wentao ultimately held back his words.
It was just a way to pacify the kid, and the old man nodded in agreement on the spot.
This made Lu Wu even more excited.
"Then my teammates will also get rewards, right?"
"Of course, everyone will!"
"As long as you can place in the top three in the city tournament, I'll give you C-Rank Benefits. If you can make it into the top 50 in the provincial tournament, I'll give you B-Rank Benefits. If you can make it into the top 30 in the provincial tournament, I'll give you A-Rank Benefits. By the way, only individual event results are recognized."
This was part of Jiangnan University's talent support program. Lu Wu felt it wasn't too difficult after hearing it.
"Alright, I'll definitely get Duddu an A-Rank Support Program!"
Zhang Wentao just listened, not wanting to comment. This kid hasn't experienced the harsh realities of competition yet. Once he does, he won't be saying such things.
Then, Zhang Wentao stopped the enthusiastic Lu Wu, who was about to sign his name on the document.
While Zhang Wentao really wanted Lu Wu to do so, this kind of decision needed the approval of Lu Wu's family.
So he told Lu Wu to take the document home and sign it after getting their consent.
Of course, the benefits, except for access to the intranet, would only be provided after Lu Wu signed the document.
Lu Wu didn't think it was necessary; his parents gave him a lot of freedom, and he could make his own decisions.
But after a moment's thought, he realized that taking it home would allow him to show off in front of the old man, so he nodded.
At the same time, Lu Wu remembered, "Oh no, I haven't been in touch with my family for almost half a month."
He reached for his phone to call home, but the Mini Skeleton took several steps back, dropped the baseball bat, and held the phone behind its back, its Eye Fire flickering.
Seeing its small, timid form and recalling its recent state, Lu Wu finally lowered his hand.
"Forget it, the phone is probably dead anyway. Besides, it's been half a month, so it doesn't matter for a little while longer. I'll call them once I finish everything here."
With that, Lu Wu turned to Zhang Wentao.
"Old Master Zhang, I remember you mentioned that if the performance in the examination is excellent, one can use the Professional Center's breeding room, right?"
Zhang Wentao glanced at the lively Mini Skeleton. "You want to improve the Mini Skeleton's quality?"
"Hmm!"
Zhang Wentao wanted to say that there was no real need to cultivate this little skeleton.
After all, cultivating Little Skeleton was challenging, and with the same effort, cultivating another summoning beast might have already reached the Silver rank, while Little Skeleton was still at Bronze. Moreover, all Li Wu needed to do was sign his name to receive the Divine Essence Fruit, and he could later exchange it for a beast with higher potential to cultivate.
However, after some thought, he considered that Li Wu was pursuing the breeder path, and it was a good thing for him to use his brain for his summoning beast.
Besides, he was also curious to see what cultivation plan Li Wu had for Little Skeleton and to what level he could cultivate it.
Since Li Wu had stumbled during the previous assessment, this time it could be considered a make-up assessment for him.
So, Zhang Wentao had Li Wu sent to the breeding room at the Professional Center.
The breeding room, though called a 'room', was actually a massive white building.
The entire breeding room was divided into several areas.
There were material areas, breeding areas, testing areas, and more...
Li Wu was directly led to the breeding area.
A 6, a 9, a book, a bar, a watch, and a phone—all were present in the breeding area.
Upon arriving at the breeding area, Li Wu was first given a form.
He took a look; it was an application form for using the breeding room.
From the required instruments to the necessary materials, Li Wu needed to fill it out completely.
Of course, if Li Wu didn't need the Professional Center to provide materials, he didn't have to fill in that section.
Li Wu didn't hesitate with the form; he quickly checked and marked the boxes with his pen.
The process was swift; it took less than ten minutes for Li Wu to finish.
The reason for his speed was that over the past half a month, he had further improved the Skeleton Soup plan.
With a mature plan in place, he knew exactly what materials were needed, making the form-filling process much faster.
After submitting the form, the Professional Center quickly approved it, and Li Wu was then led to a twenty-something square meter breeding room equipped with the instruments he had requested.
At the same time, the materials he had listed on the form were also delivered.
As Li Wu surveyed the breeding room, he pulled over Little Skeleton, who was holding a phone and staring at a large pot-like instrument in the room with his Eye Flame.
He opened Little Skeleton's attribute panel.

...
Li Wu was taken aback when he read the description, and he looked Little Skeleton up and down, trying to spot any differences. However, Little Skeleton hid his phone even more securely.
Its status also changed.
[Tense (Is Li Wu going to snatch the phone again? Little Skeleton must hide the phone well and not let Li Wu see it!)]
"So tense about the phone, I wonder if I throw it into the soup with the phone, will it create a companion phone?"
Hmm, Li Wu thought it was quite possible.
So, he opened Little Skeleton's upgrade panel, intending to check its status before taking action and see if he could help Little Skeleton create a companion phone...
