My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 132 - 131 Arrived at Fucheng

On the train from Quan City to Fucheng.

Lu Wu had just bought the cultivation plan for the White Bone Wild Boar and was getting ready to throw himself into research and study when a message came in.

He picked up his phone and saw it was an official message from the high school league, regarding some matters related to the provincial competition.

Lu Wu glanced over it and noticed that most of the content was fairly routine.

It announced the competition dates, venues, and some other related notices.

The part that caught Lu Wu’s attention the most was the format of the provincial competition.

During the city competition, the high school league was split into individual and team sections.

But for the provincial competition, these two parts had been integrated, and there were no longer individual competitions, only team competitions.

However, this team competition was different from the one during the city competition; it wasn’t the kind where everyone fought side by side, but rather a format similar to a "defend the fortress" mode.

Competing teams would send players to the field, with the winner staying on to continue fighting against members of the opposing team until defeated.

Theoretically, if you were strong enough, you could take out the entire opposing team by yourself, directly leading your teammates to a lazy victory and ranking up.

"How did it change to this?"

Lu Wu was somewhat surprised.

However, on second thought, he felt that this mode wasn’t too bad.

"It doesn’t seem much different; even in the previous team competition, if one Summoned Beast was a bit stronger, the effect was similar.

On the contrary, this method now allows individuals to stand out more during the competition. If you perform well, the advertising effect will definitely be great!"

Hmm, Lu Wu was completely focused on money now, hardly a sentence spoken without mention of advertising.

After reading the message, he also logged onto the official website of the high school league to have a look.

The competition was starting in a few days, and it was always good to be prepared ahead of time.

However, Lu Wu only browsed for a bit before turning his attention back to studying the pig.

It wasn’t that the official website lacked content; rather, there was too much, and Lu Wu felt that diving into it would be too energy-consuming and not particularly meaningful. It would be better to wait until just before the competition to research the upcoming opponents.

However, while Lu Wu wasn’t researching, his teammates were doing it intensively.

Of course, this teammate was not Dudu; she hardly had the time to research anything as she was busy studying Lu Wu every day.

The one immersed in this research was Lin Jianying.

He hadn’t started this research just now; since he joined Lu Wu’s team, he had been on it.

He truly wanted to do something for Lu Wu, and currently, gathering information about the high school league seemed to be the only thing he could do.

At this moment, on his way to Fucheng, Lin Jianying had almost completed his collection of information and had even started the final sorting.

If things went smoothly, he should be able to finish the final report by the time they arrived in Fucheng.

While Lu Wu studied, Lin Jianying organized information, and Dudu craved Lu Wu’s attention,

The journey passed without conversation.

Soon, Lu Wu and his companions arrived in Fucheng.

Just as Lu Wu stepped off the train, two phone calls came in.

One was from Li Kai, and the other was from Zhao Kai Ming.

Both were there to pick up Lu Wu!

Moreover, both of them had already arrived at the station.

Li Kai was arranged by Lu Wu; he and Wang Dashan had actually come to Fucheng a week earlier.

This was to prepare a foothold for Lu Wu in Fucheng in advance, as well as for his laboratory.

Speaking of the laboratory,

Lu Wu was planning to set up one for himself; now that he was a Cultivation Master, having a research lab, or even a Professional Center, was essential for convenience and discretion, whether it was to keep up appearances or for practical reasons.

After all, Lu Wu’s plans required live Summoned Beasts, and he couldn’t always rely on others as he did when researching the goblin, right?

As soon as Li Kai and the others heard Lu Wu wanted to establish a lab, they all expressed a desire to join in, so Lu Wu had them come over early to prepare. They also had pretty much everything ready within a week.

At least Li Kai and his crew had managed to secure a landing spot for Lu Wu.

As Lu Wu was now arriving, of course, Li Kai would be the first to come and pick him up.

What Lu Wu didn’t expect was Zhao Kai Ming!

Lu Wu didn’t expect that by merely mentioning it offhand, Zhao Kai Ming not only remembered his schedule but had even come early to wait for him.

This was quite a surprise and a touching gesture for Lu Wu, accompanied by a sense of helplessness.

Clearly, Zhao Kai Ming’s enthusiasm was directed at his talent.

Back at the Professional Center, Zhao Kai Ming had expressed a desire to take him on as an apprentice, and now this enthusiasm clearly showed that his intentions had not changed.

If this were a few months earlier, Lu Wu would have accepted without hesitation, but now, Lu Wu felt he might not need a mentor as he could learn quite well on his own.

Nevertheless, since Zhao Kai Ming had come all this way, and had previously given him such a big hand, Lu Wu couldn’t refuse.

He could only call Li Kai to explain the situation and then go to meet Zhao Kai Ming, who was already waiting for him at the station.

Well, finding Zhao Kai Ming was easy.

One reason was his conspicuous location, standing right under the station’s giant advertising screen; the other was that Zhao Kai Ming’s ride was hard to miss.

The twelve-meter-long luxury car was strikingly eye-catching.

Although Lu Wu didn’t know much about cars, he could recognize this as a top-of-the-line Divine Dragon model claimed to withstand attacks from Leader Level Summoned Beasts.

This car was insanely expensive and flashy, drawing frequent onlookers.

Despite all this, Zhao Kai Ming still worried Lu Wu wouldn’t find him, so he actually stood outside the car waiting for him. As soon as he saw Lu Wu and their team approaching, Zhao Kai Ming hurriedly waved his hands, "Xiao Lu? Over here, over here, over here!"

At that moment, Lu Wu felt the people around him grow silent.

The young ladies who were already sneaking peeks at him now eyed him with even more burning gazes.

Lu Wu was truly helpless; this was way too high-profile.

"Uncle Zhao, thank you for the trouble!" Lu Wu said as he touched his nose and went up to him.

"What trouble is there to speak of, come on, get in the car, get in the car!"

Zhao Kai Ming enthusiastically opened the car door for Lu Wu.

Just as they were about to get into the car, the screen on the advertisement board above their heads suddenly switched. A mature woman in a cheongsam appeared on the screen.

"I am Jiang Yuexing, the Governor of Jiangnan Province of the Alliance.

The high school competition is nearing, and I would like to wish all candidates a triumphant start, achieving high scores and getting into the schools of your dreams!"

This was a quite short video of blessings, lasting no more than 15 seconds, but it was incredibly eye-catching.

Even Lu Wu couldn’t help but look up and watch it continuously play three times until it looped again, with Dudu next to him exclaiming in rarity, "What a beautiful auntie!"

When Lu Wu heard this, he immediately turned his head and rubbed Dudu’s head.

"She is beautiful, but our Dudu will be even prettier than her once she slims down!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kai Ming, who was next to them, turned his head to look at Dudu and couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

Then turning to look at Lu Wu, who just turned around, rubbed the head, and comforted in one fluid, practiced movement, Zhao Kai Ming couldn’t help but comment internally, truly worthy of that man’s son.

"Xiao Lu, do you guys have a place to stay in Fucheng? Why not stay at Uncle Zhao’s house?"

After getting into the car, Zhao Kai Ming asked immediately.

"No need to trouble Uncle Zhao, I have a place to stay here in Fucheng, just send me to this address."

Lu Wu said as he sent a location to Zhao Kai Ming.

This made Zhao Kai Ming somewhat disappointed; he had thought Lu Wu would stay at his house, and he had even been specially called back by his granddaughter.

However, he didn’t say anything and directly gave the address to the driver and asked the driver to drive, while his gaze fell on the Little Skeleton, who was curiously inspecting the car.

Although he had already known early on that the Little Skeleton from Lu Wu’s house had successfully evolved, seeing the evolved Little Skeleton still made Zhao Kai Ming exclaim in admiration.

He was a seasoned Cultivation Master, and although his main direction wasn’t the Skeleton Series of Summoned Beasts, his eyes were still very sharp.

He could roughly assess the level of Cultivation of the Little Skeleton at a glance.

It was truly extraordinary!

He really hadn’t expected Lu Wu to cultivate the Little Skeleton to such a degree.

What surprised Zhao Kai Ming even more was that Lu Wu had actually found a plan to evolve the Little Skeleton into a Skeleton Mage.

But then, thinking about who Lu Wu’s father was, Zhao Kai Ming felt it all made sense.

"I wonder if Xiao Lu’s evolution plan can prove to be successful, if it does, the benefits to him will be inestimable."

But Zhao Kai Ming was also a bit worried.

The evolution plan submitted by Lu Wu had been researched for several months by the Fucheng Center without any outcome.

He was concerned that perhaps that person had secretly cheated during the Little Skeleton’s evolution, which led to its successful evolution?

If that were the case, then Lu Wu’s evolution plan might not yield results.

In that scenario, not only would Lu Wu miss out on benefits, but the Professional Center would also have wasted a great deal of effort and resources.

The more Zhao Kai Ming thought about it, the more he felt it might be true.

Looking at the Little Skeleton with initially fervent eyes now dimmed a bit, however, he still started talking with Lu Wu about the Skeleton Evolution to open up the conversation.

If they talked about other topics, Lu Wu might not be able to join in and it would be a bit awkward, but when discussing Cultivation, then Lu Wuke was very animated.

Lu Wu talked with him all the way to their destination, even seeming a bit reluctant to end the conversation.

Zhao Kai Ming, however, despite smiling on the outside, was internally cursing.

From the beginning of the topic with Lu Wu, he had been itching to slap himself.

Mainly because his research in the Skeleton Series wasn’t in-depth, and when talking with Lu Wu, he found he simply couldn’t guide the conversation, and throughout the conversation, felt like an idiot.

Frequently, he would be thrown into a flurry of confusion and breaking sweat by the questions Lu Wu threw at him.

At this moment, he fully recalled the fear of being dominated by ’injections’ in the Cultivation Room at the Center a few months ago.

So much so that when Lu Wu invited him to come in and continue talking after reaching the destination, he could only find an excuse to beat a hasty retreat.

Watching the departing vehicle, Lu Wu couldn’t help but sigh again.

"Busy as they are, they still find the time to pick me up.

Ah, this damned, uncontainable talent and charm of mine!"
