My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 186 - 184 Warehouse Garbage (Two-in-One)

Lu Wu had originally thought that not seeing any silver quality Summoning Beast Babies at the Sea Suppression Tower was simply because his patroness was being stingy.

However, Lu Wu soon realized that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

After he had finished touring the young beast area, when he suggested going to another area, the logistics department’s receptionist clearly expressed impatience.

"The quality of the Summoning Beasts in the young beast area is already excellent. There are no better Summoning Stones or Summoning Beast Eggs in the storage room. I suggest you just pick any one from the young beast area."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wu’s brows furrowed.

Before he could explode with anger, Jiang Tianyang, standing beside him, lost his patience and grabbed the receptionist by the collar.

"The quality of these Summoning Beasts in the young beast area is excellent? Since when did the Sea Suppression Tower become so poor that we don’t even have one of silver quality? Is the logistics department lining its own pockets and embezzling the Summoning Beast Babies?"

Jiang Tianyang seemed to have been holding back for a long time and now erupted in fury, his presence quite astonishing.

He was like a fierce beast, completely different from the immature dandy he was just moments ago.

Yet, the responsible party grabbed by Jiang didn’t panic at all.

"Colonel Jiang, our logistics department operates strictly according to the rules and regulations. If you have any dissatisfaction or issues, you can report them to the discipline inspection department. There’s no need to trouble a mere captain like me.

Of course, if you want to hit me, that’s fine too. I’ll take it and then I’ll report you!"

Lu Wu narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

He had originally thought the Sea Suppression Tower was his patroness’s territory, but now...

It was revealing.

He held a token given by the rich woman, and Jiang Tianyang was her nephew, but it seemed they were not highly regarded after all. It appeared the patroness’s prestige at the Sea Suppression Tower was not as high as he thought.

Thinking back to the patroness’s previously displayed demure demeanor, Lu Wu felt this was somewhat to be expected.

This made him completely lose any hope of finding a better Summoning Beast Baby at the Sea Suppression Tower.

However, he couldn’t just leave now; after all, he was holding a token given by the patroness, and his current identity was that of her adopted son.

If he just left, where would that leave the patroness’s face?

Where would that leave Lu Wu’s face?

So, he didn’t remain silent.

"Colonel Jiang, the military discipline at the Sea Suppression Tower is quite strict. A captain stands in front of you, a colonel, neither servile nor overbearing, and provides reasoned advice to your requests.

Such a captain, quite good, quite remarkable!"

The colonel holding the captain’s collar was taken aback upon hearing this, turning his head to look at Lu Wu but saying nothing, his face full of ’Have you lost your mind?’ expression.

"What are you looking at me for? This kind of captain is not bad at all, probably unique in the alliance’s military system!

The Sea Suppression Tower really knows how to manage its troops!

It’s just that I don’t know if your discipline inspection has memorized the military codes."

By now, even the slowest could tell that Lu Wu was being sarcastic.

"My brain is quite good, with a photographic memory. I just glanced over it; would you like me to recite it for you, from article 76 to 83?

These are all about the behavior regulations for military personnel. Do you want to know which ones you’ve violated?

According to military discipline, what punishment should you incur?"

With those words thrown out, the expression on the captain’s face didn’t change much, but his arrogance diminished.

"You wanted to go to the storage room, right? This way!"

A small conflict was resolved just like that.

However, this little episode made Lu Wu profoundly and thoroughly understand that the military in this world was different from the one he knew before his transmigration.

The military he knew before was the people’s army, with firm beliefs, strict discipline, always considering the people, and were the guardians that would fight at the front lines when the motherland was in trouble.

But the military in this world, well, it wasn’t so clear, even questionable whether they were actually an army.

An incident made Lu Wu realize the complexity of this military.

It also made him further understand his patroness’s ineffectiveness.

Not only was she stingy and lacking funds, but it seemed that she was also bullied by her subordinates.

Lu Wu started to seriously doubt whether the rich woman had the ability to support him, wondering if he would eventually have to fight through thorns and thistles for her?

Thinking of this possibility, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

"What a loss for the rich woman to have backed me!"

"What? What did you say about a rich woman?"

Jiang Tianyang, next to him, overheard Lu Wu mumbling and couldn’t help but lean in closer.

Lu Wu frowned and pushed him outside the caution line.

"No getting closer!"

It seemed as if letting anyone come within two meters of Dudu was a loss.

Jiang Tianyang had grown accustomed to this.

This time, he did not get angry but kept eyeing Lu Wu and mocked, "You know, as much as her, I’m more interested in you."

"Then I’m sorry, please step back another two meters."

...

Amidst the playful commotion, Lu Wu and his group arrived at the warehouse area.

Upon arrival, there were more logistics personnel present.

The receptionist seemed to have found his courage and, before allowing Lu Wu’s group to enter the warehouse, decided to try to intimidate them.

"Gentlemen, the warehouse is a restricted area. Although you have the ’Sea Suppressing Order’ that allows entry into the warehouse, I must solemnly warn you to keep your hands to yourselves while inside. Do not engage in theft or damage to the supplies.

Otherwise, you will face..."

"What article of military discipline are you referring to?"

"..."

With just a sentence from Lu Wu, the receptionist was at a loss for words and after a long pause managed to say, "This is a logistic work behavior..."

"That’s to constrain you, not us. If we really damage or steal any items, it’s the discipline inspection that handles it.

Just do your job well, and don’t try to do what’s not your responsibility!"

Clearly, in front of Lu Wu, the receptionist was like a little brother.

With a few words, he had nothing more to say.

He could only bitterly announce an ’inventory inspection,’ intending to search them before entry, an attempt to regain some control.

However, Lu Wu spoke again.

"Is your warehouse’s detection equipment just for show?

Or does your warehouse not have a guardian summoned beast?

If you have neither of those indeed, a search would be necessary, but before that, I think you need first to explain why the security of a military warehouse is so shoddy?"

Triple kill!

Now the logistics side completely lost their spirit.

They had to let them pass honestly, and the receptionist had no choice but to follow behind them unobtrusively.

This made Colonel Jiang Tianyang, who had been watching the whole time, beam with admiration and excitement as if he’d discovered a new world.

As for the two by Lu Wu’s side, they were much calmer.

After all, one was Dudu, and the other was a male version of Dudu.

In their view, this was just a basic operation for Lu Wu.

But Little Skeleton was utterly confused.

Helplessly, though it was smart, it had little understanding of common sense, let alone the intricacies of human society and cutthroat tactics.

Everyone was watching, and while others understood, it could only enjoy the spectacle.

Tilting its head, it looked like, ’Although I don’t know what Lu Wu did, it seems like he did something impressive.’

Then, with a simple turn of its little head, Lu Wu was its Lu Wu, and if Lu Wu was impressive, then it meant Little Skeleton was impressive too.

Therefore, although Little Skeleton didn’t know what it had just done, it felt very impressive.

Proud of this, it nodded at the pig, wanting to show off.

"See that? Little Skeleton is so impressive. Don’t you want to let Little Skeleton ride you?"

However, the pig lying in Dudu’s arms turned over, indicating it had no interest in dealing with this fool.

...

On Lu Wu’s side,

after a bout of wrangling, they managed to enter the warehouse as they wished, but after taking a look around,

Lu Wu couldn’t help but frown.

He looked around and found almost nothing of value.

But this was also within his expectations; the attitude of those logistic personnel made it clear they hadn’t planned on letting them take away anything worthwhile.

Judging by some of the emptied spots in the warehouse, it was obvious that items had been hastily removed.

"It seems they’re determined to send us back empty-handed."

Everyone knew about Lu Wu’s magnanimity, especially broad.

The more they tried to mess with him this way, the more he wanted to leave with something good.

But whether it was Summoning Beast Eggs or Summoning Stones, the high-quality ones had all been removed. Even the occasional overlooked piece was just of Silver Quality.

A Silver Quality baby clearly couldn’t satisfy Lu Wu.

So he was particularly unhappy.

Not just him, Colonel Jiang was also dissatisfied.

"Is this all you have in logistics?"

The receptionist saw that it was not Lu Wu but Jiang Tianyang getting angry and suddenly felt like the skies had cleared after the rain, as if he was back in business.

"The Sea Suppression Tower comes from a large family with big business, but there are many freeloaders. Isn’t it quite normal to be eaten out of house and home?"

His veiled accusations were directly aimed at Lu Wu’s group.

Lu Wuyi felt helpless upon hearing this.

Why did this guy always act tough after his wounds had healed? Knowing he couldn’t win, yet he still insisted on making useless efforts.

Lu Wu didn’t even bother to continue trouncing him now.

It wasn’t interesting, nor was there any pleasure in it.

How should I put it? Perhaps gradually feeling the loneliness of invincibility was also a form of growth.

Amidst his invincible loneliness, Lu Wu glanced around and suddenly fixed his gaze on a corner of the storeroom where the supplies were haphazardly stacked, squinting his eyes.

"What are those?"

"Those are some miscellaneous items in the storeroom that need to be cleared out regularly."

The receptionist seemed to be picking up some delusions from Lu Wu’s disdainful and lonely demeanor.

Thinking he had gained the upper hand, his manner became a bit more arrogant, "Right, didn’t you ask if we had any other Summoning Beast Eggs or Summoning Stones here?

There might still be some in there. Why don’t you go pick some out?"

"Kid, you’re being pretty cocky!"

Colonel Jiang burst into anger.

Lu Wu, however, couldn’t care less about this small fry and directly walked towards the pile of miscellaneous items, scanning the area with his eyes.

To Lu Wu, it seemed like anything in the storeroom wouldn’t have been moved far in a short period. Maybe it was hidden right here.

But as soon as Lu Wu took a glance, the items weren’t hidden here, yet he found an unexpected treasure.

...

Item Name: Broken Blood Sword

Item Quality: Ordinary

Item Description: It is a piece of junk, but it seems to have a Summoning Stone in the hilt.

...

Item Name: Dried Seed

Item Quality: Above Gold

Description: This is a seed of a Plant-based Summoned Beast that is about to lose its Life Force. If soaked in Plant Essence and used in a Summoning Ceremony, it might be summoned before it reaches its end.

...

Looking at the attributes of these two items, Lu Wu’s head buzzed.

"Damn, did I really find treasure?"

At this moment, Lu Wu couldn’t care about anything else and hurriedly picked up the dried seed and the broken sword.

And immediately, he removed the crimson Summoning Stone from the hilt of the sword.

...

Item Name: Summoning Stone

Item Quality: Gold (Suspect)

Description: This Summoning Stone is wrapped in Demon energy, likely a Demon Type Summoned Beast Summoning Stone.

...

When he saw this, Lu Wu’s eyes immediately lit up.

He had really struck it big with this treasure – a Gold Quality Demon Type Summoning Stone.

However, the situation with that seed seemed quite dire, and it needed to be summoned as soon as possible.

"Colonel Jiang, do you have a Summoning Array here at the Sea Suppression Tower?"

Colonel Jiang was in the middle of berating the receptionist when he suddenly heard this and was somewhat confused. Upon turning his head and seeing a Summoning Stone and a seed in Lu Wu’s hands, he was even more bewildered.

"What is this?"

"Just as he said, picking things out of the trash."

Colonel Jiang curled his lip, not knowing what to say anymore, while Lu Wu couldn’t be bothered to waste words and asked again, "Is there a Summoning Array in the Sea Suppression Tower?"

"Yes, the logistics department has one!"

The receptionist answered for Colonel Jiang, adding, "Do you need it? I can arrange it for you right away!"

He wasn’t being kind, of course.

He was looking forward to seeing Lu Wu make a fool of himself.

He wanted to see what Lu Wu had dug out from the rubbish pile of their storeroom.

Surely, he didn’t believe Lu Wu could find any treasures.

After all, this was the Sea Suppression Tower’s storeroom, and every item’s movement in and out needed strict scrutiny. Even the trash had to be thoroughly inspected several times before being tossed in.

He couldn’t believe that under these circumstances, Lu Wu would be able to find a treasure, let alone two?

How could that be possible?

He was sure that both items Lu Wu picked out were garbage.

"Lead the way!"

Lu Wu didn’t feel like wasting his breath on this guy anymore, and the receptionist was straightforward as well, leading Lu Wu and the others out of the storeroom.

On the way out, Lu Wu asked again, "Do you have Plant Essence?"

"Yes!"

"I’ll buy it at market price! Take all of it out for me!"

"Take it all out? Are you sure?" The receptionist had a mocking look on his face, acting cool, huh?

"You need to pay first, and the Plant Essence is a standard supply item. There’s at least four or five thousand points’ worth..."

"Take it all out!"

Lu Wu cut him off with a confident interruption.

The receptionist’s mocking smile froze, as he clearly hadn’t expected this guy to be such a big spender.

"Alright, I’ll take care of it!"

The guy nodded his head a bit, then briskly walked away.

Lu Wu watched his retreating back, feeling vaguely that something was not quite right, but he couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was.

He couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Tianyang, narrowing his eyes as if tasting something, but then he gave up.

"Never mind that for now, let’s get the Summoned Beast out first."

It must be said, regardless of what the receptionist was like, he was pretty efficient at getting things done.

In less than a few minutes, he had everything arranged.

"The total is still 5531 points, but I’ve rounded down the change for you, 5530 points will do!"

Lu Wu found the receptionist’s style of rounding oddly familiar.

But he didn’t say much, instead, he logged into his account on the internal network.

...

Account Name: I Want to Be a Sea King

Account Points: 8731

Cultivation Plans Uploaded: Little Skeleton Training Manual Series, Little Skull Soup Series, Goblin Injection Series

Modified Skill Training Plans Uploaded: 93 kinds

You have one official review message regarding a Cultivation Plan.

...

These eight thousand-plus points were earned from advertisements during the semi-finals and finals in the last two days, and the number was still climbing crazily.

Lu Wu didn’t look any further, he just transferred the points to the other party.

Then he had the receptionist start up two Summoning Arrays, placing a Summoning Stone and a Dried Seed onto them.

Of course, for the Dried Seed, Lu Wu had also prepared a huge container filled with 5530 points’ worth of Plant Essence.

After the preparations were complete, Lu Wu had the receptionist begin the summoning.

During the interval of the summoning, he took the time to check an official email.

Before opening it, Lu Wu had a feeling it wouldn’t be good news, and indeed, it was just as he expected.

The email was sent from the research center in Jiangbei, stating that there were some issues with the White Bone Wild Boar cultivation plan he had uploaded, and they required Lu Wu to provide an explanation.

After glancing at the email, Lu Wu tossed it aside without care.

He couldn’t be bothered with it.

It was obvious that Jiangbei was looking for trouble. Although the White Bone Wild Boar cultivation plan he uploaded was just a preliminary version, with 13 more diabolical versions to be developed for fleecing purposes, the initial plan was pretty solid. He had explained all aspects clearly, and any professional Cultivator, especially those who had done a certain amount of research in the Undead Type cultivation, would be able to understand it.

So, Lu Wu wasn’t about to bother replying to them. If they wanted to approve it, then approve it; if not, send it back and he would re-upload it promptly from Fucheng, no need to waste time wrangling with Jiangbei!

Meanwhile, as Lu Wu was reading the email,

A large group of logistics personnel squeezed their way over to the Summoning Arrays.

They had heard the news that someone picked up ’treasure’ from the trash pile in the storeroom and splurged over five thousand points, so they came to watch the excitement, or rather, to see the punchline of the joke.

"This guy treats our Sea Suppression Tower’s storeroom like what, exactly? Really thinking he could find treasure in the trash pile of Sea Suppression Tower’s storeroom?"

"He’s dreaming big!"

"It’s not about dreaming, it’s about being stupid or not, still dropping over 5000 points on this. This guy isn’t just wealthy!"

"It’s said that he got a ’Sea Suppressing Order’ from the Governor’s side; he must be born with a silver spoon in his mouth. 5000 points is an astronomical figure to us but maybe just so-so to him.

But honestly, I’m looking forward to seeing what his face will look like after his 5000 points go to waste."

...

Amidst these teasing comments, one of the two active Summoning Arrays produced a result first...

...

Woke up late this morning, to avoid breaking the narrative, I just sent two chapters together.

Hmm, did I grow a lot this time?
