Chapter 184: Oh Mother

During the grand award ceremony, Lu Wu received the championship trophy from Jiang Yuesheng.

With this, the High School League concluded on a perfect note.

Next, Lu Wu only needed to wait for the rewards after the competition.

And they were not small.

The advertising revenue, the benefits from Jiangnan, and the perks for being in the top three of the League—all were significant.

Lu Wu couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of it.

However, what he didn't expect was that the first thing he received wasn't any of these, but a notification for a private meeting.

Jiang Yuesheng wanted to have a chat with him in private!

Upon hearing this, Lu Wu's mind went blank, and his little heart couldn't help but pound with excitement.

But it wasn't excitement he felt; it was nervousness.

His previous interactions with Jiang Yuesheng had always left Lu Wu with a sense of unease.

The way the Governor looked at him was strange, and Lu Wu felt a bit scared; he wasn't exactly keen on this meeting.

After all, he was still a young man with a healthy appetite.

And his son, Pang Doudou, was still in his prime.

But given her status as the Governor of Jiangnan, it was not up to him to decide whether or not to have this chat.

He had already been escorted by Jiang Yuesheng right after the ceremony, with no time to spare.

Zhao Kaiming watched Lu Wu being led away, a desolate look in his eyes.

"Lu Wu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm in a difficult situation myself!"

If things were indeed as he suspected.

Zhao Kaiming felt that both he and Lu Wu were likely in deep trouble.

Moreover, he was certain that he would be in a worse situation than Lu Wu, as he wasn't the son of that person.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Jiang Yuesheng didn't take Lu Wu very far.

She led him directly to the room where she had previously observed the battles.

Upon returning to the room, Jiang Yuesheng sat upright on the sofa and waved at Lu Wu, who was standing a couple of meters away.

"Come here, closer to me!"

Lu Wu approached cautiously, inching closer with great care, and stood straight in front of Jiang Yuesheng.

Jiang Yuesheng raised an eyebrow, "Come closer!"

Lu Wu took a few more cautious steps, but Jiang Yuesheng grew impatient and gestured with her hand, pulling him forward with an invisible force.

Lu Wu found himself right in front of her, and Jiang Yuesheng's gaze made him nervous.

"Governor Jiang..."

"Silence!"

Lu Wu fell silent.

Jiang Yuesheng examined Lu Wu's face with great attention, staring at him for five minutes and occasionally touching his face.

At first, Lu Wu thought she was admiring his beauty, but he soon realized that the more she looked, the more her expression changed, and the way she looked at him made him feel like she was seeing a scoundrel.

It was as if she might pull out a cleaver at any moment.

Lu Wu panicked; he hadn't done anything, but if he were to be cleaved, how unjust it would be! So, at this moment, Lu Wu couldn't keep quiet.

"Governor Jiang..."

"Don't call me Governor Jiang!" Jiang Yuesheng interrupted again, "Call me Mom!"

"What?"

Lu Wu was stunned. Was this how rich ladies played these days?

Jiang Yuesheng's expression remained calm as she added, "Your performance in the League was impressive. I'm very satisfied and plan to adopt you as my son."

Lu Wu frowned, showing his displeasure.

"Shouldn't this kind of decision be made after consulting me?"

Jiang Yuesheng glanced at him, her eyes cold, and a cleaver seemed to appear and disappear in her gaze. Lu Wu's heart skipped a beat.

"Well, um, I mean, I have no objections!"

Jiang Yuesheng was very pleased with this response.

"Good, then from today onwards, you are my son, Jiang Yuesheng!"

Fine, she had the power, the cleaver, and the final say.

Since Lu Wu couldn't resist, he had no choice but to accept his fate.

"So, can I start calling you 'Mom' now?" Lu Wu asked, testing the waters.

"Mom!" he called out, his voice filled with emotion.

Surprisingly, Lu Wu adapted to this situation quite quickly.

He was a bit hesitant at first, but now he felt no guilt. His mind was focused on one thing: gaining some advantage from this situation. So, he called out shamelessly, his voice filled with sincerity.

Unexpectedly, the queen-like woman across from him blushed at his call, and a surge of girlish charm emerged. The stark contrast between her regal demeanor and sudden shyness left Lu Wu stunned.

He stood there, dazed and confused.

When Lu Wu finally came back to reality, Jiang Yuxing had regained her queenly composure. Aside from a slightly rosy complexion, there was no trace of her previous embarrassment, leaving Lu Wu wondering if he had imagined the whole thing.

To confirm his suspicions, Lu Wu called out again, his voice filled with emotion.

This time, Jiang Yuxing was prepared, and her queenly persona remained intact, but her face flushed slightly.

Seeing this, Lu Wu's words became sweeter.

He called out to her, alternating between both sides of his mouth, and even mixed in some compliments.

Despite the shamelessness of his performance, Lu Wu's face turned slightly red.

After all, he didn't want to casually call her 'Mom.'

But she was the governor, and she had the power of a cleaver. Calling her 'Mom' for survival was not humiliating.

Of course, Lu Wu's ability to say it so smoothly was also related to Jiang Yuxing's stunning appearance.

If it were someone less attractive, Lu Wu might have chosen to be more dignified.

"Mom, this situation is a bit unexpected, and I don't have anything valuable on me. So, I'd like to offer you this necklace as a gift. It's the first gift my father gave me, and I've always considered it a talisman. When I wear it, I feel protected, and now I'd like to pass that protection on to you."

Although Lu Wu was speaking nonsense, his words had an impact.

Jiang Yuxing suddenly perceived the necklace in Lu Wu's hand as more radiant and couldn't refuse his offer.

She happily accepted the necklace.

In that moment, Lu Wu felt that the person before him was not a high-ranking queen governor but a maiden in love, easily deceived.

Lu Wu even contemplated how he might gain more advantages.

Then, Lu Wu saw Jiang Yuxing smile at him.

"I'm glad you like the gift. As your adoptive mother, I'd like to give you a gift in return!"

...

Chapter 185: Legacy Ground

It's here! It's finally here!

Li Wu couldn't contain his excitement.

The legendary plot of being sponsored by a wealthy woman and receiving a province as a gift was about to unfold.

He had called out for his 'mother' and 'godmother' so many times, and now the reward was almost upon him.

However, Li Wu felt he needed to exercise restraint and not appear too eager. He had to feign composure, even if he was bursting with enthusiasm inside.

But then, a thought crossed his mind. What if he played it cool and the wealthy woman decided to push him away, leaving him with nothing?

So, Li Wu decided to hold back, remaining silent. He watched as the wealthy woman, his newly recognized godmother, nodded shyly and timidly.

In his mind, he hoped she would grant him a few hundred thousand credits.

However, Li Wu had clearly underestimated Jiang Yuesheng's generosity. What was a mere few hundred thousand credits? If she was going to give a gift, it would be something truly special.

Jiang Yuesheng toyed with the necklace she had just received, gently tapping the table as she spoke. Gradually, her demeanor shifted, and she exuded an undeniable regal aura, befitting a queen.

"I will give you Jiangnan University!" she declared.

"What?" Li Wu asked, his ears failing him.

"I said, I'm giving you Jiangnan University!" she repeated.

This time, Li Wu heard her loud and clear. His ears weren't playing tricks on him, but he couldn't help but wonder if his new godmother's mind was playing tricks on her.

"Godmother, this is just a joke, right?" he ventured.

"This is no joke!" she replied firmly.

Jiang Yuesheng stopped tapping the table and fixed her gaze on Li Wu.

The girlish shyness and timidity that Li Wu had noticed earlier vanished, replaced by an unquestionable authority and an aura of royalty.

"You have already been admitted to Jiangnan University and will start your studies this year. After you enroll, I want you to compete for the position of Summoner Team Captain at Jiangnan University.

Then, it will be your task to prepare for the Alliance Cup University League next year. I expect you to perform just as brilliantly as you did in the High School League!"

Li Wu finally understood. So, this wealthy woman had given him a task—to compete for the position of Summoner Team Captain.

Assigning tasks was one thing, but giving away a university? Why not just ask him to fly to the moon? Li Wu rolled his eyes internally.

Of course, he dared not show his disdain openly and kept his thoughts to himself.

However, he was bold enough to voice his opinion.

"Well, I've heard that Summoner Team Captains are usually fourth-year students. As a fresh and inexperienced student, I might not stand a chance in the competition."

Jiang Yuesheng glanced at Li Wu, seeing right through his concerns.

"Figuring out how to become a captain and preparing for the league is your responsibility. Overcoming challenges is part of the process."

Li Wu's face darkened slightly. He felt that the wealthy woman was being a bit stingy.

Where was the generosity of the Queen Governor now?

It seemed like she was only interested in making him work without offering any rewards.

Just as Li Wu began to worry about not having any 'grass' to eat, being a hardworking and obedient little 'horse', Jiang Yuesheng suddenly changed the topic.

"Do you know about the benefits for the top three in the High School League?"

Li Wu was taken aback but quickly shook his head, indicating he had no idea.

"The benefits for the top three in the High School League are provided by each province. Here in Jiangnan, the reward for the top three is access to a special secret realm controlled by the Jiangnan Alliance—the Legacy Ground!

Here is some information about the Legacy Ground. Take a look."

Jiang Yuesheng handed Li Wu a stack of documents.

The documents were concise, consisting of only seven or eight pages, totaling around three to four thousand words, along with a map.

Li Wu quickly skimmed through the materials in just a few minutes, committing everything to memory.

As he finished reading, a look of awe appeared on his face.

If it weren't for these documents, he would have never known about such a marvelous secret realm.

The so-called Legacy Ground was, in fact, a mysterious realm filled with altars. It opened only once a year and allowed only nine humans to enter, with no limit on the number of Summoned Beasts, as long as they were below the Leader-class in strength.

The purpose of the Legacy Ground was to enhance the power of Summoned Beasts.

Within the Legacy Ground, each altar was guarded by a Summoned Beast. Once this guardian was defeated, the altar would activate, sacrificing the defeated beast to enhance the quality, strength, and skills of other Summoned Beasts.

Although each Summoned Beast could only undergo this sacrificial enhancement once, the minimum gain was a one-star increase in strength.

The most terrifying story was about a Summoner seven years ago who, after claiming an altar, saw their Summoned Beast's quality jump from Bronze to Gold, and its strength soar from Elite 2-Star to Leader 3-Star, instantly elevating the Summoner to the rank of Professional Breeder.

As Li Wu held the documents in his hands, he realized he, too, had a chance to enter the Legacy Ground. Excitement bubbled within him.

And just as Li Wu's excitement peaked, Jiang Yuesheng handed him another set of documents.

"The information you just read is publicly available. This set, however, contains some additional insights that we in Jiangnan have gathered but don't share with outsiders."

"Li Wu's interest piqued at this, and he eagerly took the documents from Jiang Yuesheng to peruse.

Indeed, the information Jiang Yuesheng presented was far more comprehensive and detailed than the previous set she had shown.

It included the classification of altars by attributes and levels, along with some unique sacrificial postures.

"These altars have attributes and levels, and the act of sacrificing is not as simple as just killing the summoned beast on the altar. That's just the basic step. By adding different elements, the summoned beast can gain much more.

As for what to add, we don't have much detailed information about that. You can research it yourself, especially regarding the sacrifices."

Jiang Yuesheng continued, "The Legacy Ground restricts the number of people who can enter, but it doesn't limit the number of summoned beasts.

Your mental power, after the Little Skeleton reaches 3-star, is already capable of contracting a third summoned beast.

Now, with almost two weeks until the secret realm opens, you can use this time to breed a third summoned beast."

At this point, Jiang Yuesheng finally got Li Wu to pay attention.

She handed him a token engraved with the character 'Zhen'.

"This is the Zhenhai Tower's Logistics Token. You can take this token to the Zhenhai Tower in Fucheng and choose a young summoned beast or a summoning stone."

Li Wu's spirits lifted at this news. He reached out to take the token, his mind already racing with thoughts of what his next summoned beast should be.

He thought to himself, "I've got the Little Skeleton from the land, and the Little Goldfish from the sea. Now, let's get something that flies in the sky!"

Li Wu happily decided on the category of his third summoned beast.

However, he didn't forget his teammates.

"Can I have two more?" he asked.

He wanted to get one for Dudu and, while he was at it, he might as well get one for Old Lin too.

The usually stingy rich lady was surprisingly generous this time, nodding in agreement.

She added, "If you accomplish the task I gave you, I guarantee that you'll become the president of Jiangnan University within ten years, and I'll also provide you with some additional rewards."

After saying this, Jiang Yuesheng didn't elaborate on the other rewards and dismissed Li Wu.

"These leaders, always giving empty checks!" Li Wu grumbled, feeling dissatisfied but knowing there was nothing he could do.

When someone sends you away with a wave, you have no choice but to leave with the token.

Jiang Yuesheng watched as Li Wu left, taking a few glances back at the tokens with a hint of regret. Her expression remained unchanged until Li Wu was out of sight, at which point she pouted, her queenly image crumbling as she muttered like a little girl.

"Do you still expect me to give you benefits? Do you know how much your father owes me? It's not even enough if I skinned him alive!"

When she first met Li Hai Kong, she was more naive and easily deceived.

He sweet-talked her with a few words, took advantage of her kindness, and then ran off, leaving her pitiful and alone.

But now, she had grown, learned to wear masks, and even mastered the art of writing empty checks.

If Li Wu wanted to take advantage of her and get benefits, he'd better start by repaying Li Hai Kong's debt!

"If he can help Jiangnan University get through this crisis, I'll consider it as him repaying one percent of what that guy owes me."

Jiang Yuesheng had made up her mind to have Li Wu repay Li Hai Kong's debt.

Li Wu could basically forget about any other rewards.

Of course, this wasn't set in stone. If Li Wu could bring Li Hai Kong over, he might still get a reward of eight hundred thousand credits.

Fortunately, Li Wu was unaware of this, or he might have immediately started plotting how to sell out his father for a quick fortune.

Sadly, Li Wu didn't know, so he missed the chance to become rich overnight and, at the same time, get slapped by his father.

After leaving Jiang Yuesheng, Li Wu, holding the token, immediately sought out Dudu, who was being protected by the Little Skeleton and strictly forbidden from having any male creatures within a meter's distance.

It was only after Dudu became more attractive that Li Wu revealed his true nature as a jealous pot.

Especially after experiencing two consecutive incidents of the entire arena salivating over his wife, Li Wu felt like everyone was trying to steal her away.

Now, if anyone dared to glance at Dudu, or come within two meters of her, Li Wu was ready to throw bricks.

He even considered making Dudu gain weight to deter any unwanted attention.

It's worth mentioning that this idea wasn't original to Li Wu. It was subtly planted by Dudu's mother when she was slim.

Previously, Li Wu found the plump Dudu cute, but he preferred the sexier slim version.

However, now, as a jealous pot, he felt that it was better to have a chubbier wife to deter unwanted attention.

But now, as a jealous pot, he felt that it was better to have a chubbier wife to deter unwanted attention.

As for Dudu, she was indifferent to her weight, lacking any strong opinions. Whatever Li Wu said was right in her eyes!

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 186: Choosing the Summoned Beast Baby

Li Wu didn't want to delay the matter of selecting a Summoned Beast baby.

After all, there were only about two weeks left before entering the Legacy Ground.

He had to quickly tame a Summoned Beast and cultivate the third one within two weeks.

Otherwise, it might miss this opportunity.

So, after returning to the rest room, Li Wu prepared to leave with his teammates.

However, when he came back, he found that Lin Jianying wasn't in the rest room?

"Where did Old Lin go? Did he go to the bathroom again?"

Li Wu asked casually, but he didn't expect Dudu to nod in agreement.

Li Wu was speechless.

Was he suffering from kidney deficiency? Why was he always running to the bathroom? Just as he was wondering whether to go look for him, Old Lin returned, looking somewhat displeased.

Li Wu was taken aback and subconsciously glanced at the Goblin's status.

The goblin's thoughts: (My master has encountered that weirdo again. That weirdo is so annoying; he makes my master so sad.)

Li Wu frowned upon seeing the goblin's status.

Is that guy ever going to stop? He's targeting Old Lin, isn't he? How does Old Lin always run into him in the bathroom? It seems like I must teach him a lesson!

Li Wu thought this way and acted accordingly, telling Old Lin to wait for a moment while he took the Little Skeleton to find the weirdo.

However, he arrived too late; by the time he got there, the person had already left. Helpless, Li Wu could only return disappointed.

After returning, Li Wu gave Lin Jianying a heartfelt lecture.

He advised him that when outside, he must protect himself well. If he encounters any weirdos or anything, he shouldn't be afraid and should bravely resist!

The confused Lin Jianying was left stunned by Li Wu's words.

It was unclear how much he understood, but after Li Wu's lecture, Lin Jianying's mood seemed to have brightened considerably.

After comforting and advising Lin Jianying, Li Wu no longer delayed. He led his two teammates, and with Li Kai's transportation, they headed towards the 'Zhenhai Tower' in Fucheng.

...

'Zhenhai Tower'

Its name suggests a tower, but it is actually a military fortress of the Summoner Legion.

It is also an important military system in Jiangnan, specifically responsible for guarding the sea. The headquarters in Fucheng oversees the entire Zhenhai Tower system in Jiangnan.

Such a place, of course, is not one that can be entered casually.

Before Li Wu and his teammates even got close, they were intercepted by the Zhenhai Tower personnel. Even after Li Wu presented the token, they didn't immediately allow entry but instead took about ten minutes to verify before letting Li Wu and his group in.

Li Kai, who was in charge of transportation, was even left outside.

As soon as Li Wu and his two teammates entered the Zhenhai Tower, a colonel in a uniform and cloak, exuding a scholarly aura, approached them.

Upon his arrival, his eyes fell on Li Wu, and he introduced himself.

"I am Colonel Jiang Tianyang from the Observation Department of Zhenhai Tower, and I'm also your cousin!"

"Cousin?"

"The governor is my aunt!"

Jiang Tianyang patted his chest, feeling especially proud and boastful, giving off a sense of 'my relative is so-and-so.'

After speaking, his eyes fell on Dudu.

Even though Dudu wore a uniform and hid her face, anyone could tell that she was a beautiful girl.

The more this kind of girl tried to conceal herself, the more mysterious and curious she became. Jiang Tianyang couldn't help but take a few more glances, but after just a few looks, Li Wu blocked his way.

Although he didn't say it, his face clearly conveyed, 'What are you looking at?' and he seemed ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Jiang Tianyang immediately raised his hands in surrender.

"Okay, okay, I won't look. I won't look anymore, all right?"

"Let's go. I'll take you to the Logistics Department!"

Saying this, he turned and led the way, taking Li Wu and the others to the Logistics Department of Zhenhai Tower.

Along the way, this guy kept talking, constantly finding topics to chat with Li Wu.

He seemed particularly curious about his aunt's sudden appearance as a new relative.

Li Wu, on the other hand, was also curious about his newly acquired mother.

So, as long as Jiang Tianyang didn't look at his wife, Li Wu could still have a good conversation with him.

Through Jiang Tianyang's words, Li Wu learned more about Jiang Yuesxing.

Based on her appearance and previous emotional fluctuations, Li Wu had estimated that Jiang Yuesxing was in her thirties.

However, during their conversation, he received surprising news.

Jiang Yuesxing was at least sixty years old, and she might even be older.

When Li Wu heard this news, his mind went blank.

He had thought his rich lady was younger than others, but in the end, he discovered that his own rich lady was also in her sixties. His mood became complex.

Li Wu also learned some details about his father.

Er, not Li Hai Kong, but Jiang Yuesxing's husband.

Jiang Tianyang didn't know much about this either. He only knew that they had been married for only a few days before Jiang Yuesxing's husband entered a secret realm, and he hadn't returned home for many years.

Hearing this, Li Wu couldn't help but shake his head.

That guy was also quite carefree. His rich lady was an old rich lady, but she didn't look her age at all. Despite being so charming and alluring, that guy had been away for a decade or more.

Li Wu felt that the guy was either dead or had run off with someone else.

But in Li Wu's opinion, either way, the guy was a scumbag.

The reason his rich lady was randomly adopting sons was because of this guy's actions.

If that guy had been a good man like Li Wu or even like his father, staying faithful, returning home on time, and having a child with his rich lady, she wouldn't have randomly adopted sons.

However, after thinking about it, Li Wu felt that calling her 'dry mom' a few times wasn't a bad deal. After all, he had gained three Summoned Beasts in exchange.

Lu Wu felt a sense of self-satisfaction, or perhaps he was merely consoling himself.

Jiang Tianyang, who was walking ahead, called out, "We're here. This is the Summoning Beast Nursery Zone of the Zhenhai Tower's Logistics Department."

"This area is divided into two parts. One is the Nursery Zone, and the other is the Summoning Stone and Summoning Egg Storage Zone. Which one do you want to go to first?"

The former was more straightforward. The summoned beasts were mostly ready-made, and most of their qualities had already been appraised, so they just needed to make a choice.

Finding a hidden gem would be difficult, and it was unlikely to find any significant surprises.

The latter might offer surprises, but it would be more troublesome.

"Let's go to the Nursery Zone first!"

If they found a suitable one, they could take it with them, and if not, they could then check the other side.

"Alright, let's go!"

Jiang Tianyang led Lu Wu and the others into the Nursery Zone after swiping their cards.

The Nursery Zone of the Zhenhai Tower's Logistics Department resembled a zoo.

Different summoned beast pups were separated into different areas.

Lu Wu and the others could see five major zones: the Beast Form Zone, Humanoid Form Zone, Undead Zone, Demon Zone, and Plant Zone.

However, there weren't many summoned beast babies in the Undead and Demon Zones, so in reality, there were only three major zones.

Lu Wu had a clear goal; he wanted one that could fly.

As for Lin Jianying and Dudu, Lin Jianying's goal was also clear; he wanted a demon-type summoned beast. Dudu's goal was even more straightforward; wherever Lu Wu went, she would follow, and whatever Lu Wu chose, she would choose as well.

"Let's go to the Demon Zone first and see if we can find one for Old Lin."

With their purpose in mind, the group, led by a staff member from the Logistics Zone, headed towards the Demon Zone.

"So, you don't even know your way around here?" Lu Wu couldn't help but smirk at the situation.

"I don't usually come here, so how could I possibly know my way around?" Jiang Tianyang shrugged.

Lu Wu's expression turned cold, "Since you're not of any use here, why are you still following us?"

As he spoke, Lu Wu's face was filled with vigilance, and he pulled Dudu closer to him.

He now felt like everyone in the world was trying to snatch his wife away, and it was time to send Jiang Tianyang packing.

"Do you think I want to be here? After you choose a summoned beast, I'll still have to handle the paperwork!"

"Fine, then. You stand next to Old Lin!"

Lu Wu reluctantly allowed him to follow, but he kept a certain distance between them.

Jiang Tianyang clenched his teeth, barely holding back a burst of blood. He swore that if Lu Wu wasn't his aunt's adopted son, he would twist the guy's head off.

Lu Wu acted like he had never seen a girl before, as if he were some sort of pervert.

What Jiang Tianyang couldn't stand even more was that the girl, Dudu, seemed to think Lu Wu's behavior was perfectly fine.

Looking at the two of them being so affectionate, Jiang Tianyang felt like setting them on fire.

After a while, the group arrived at the Demon Zone.

It must be said that the Zhenhai Tower's Demon-type summoned beasts were indeed few. The entire zone had only 7 varieties, totaling 38 in all, which averaged to just over 4 per variety.

The keeper in this zone gave Lu Wu's group a brief introduction as they arrived.

"This zone has a total of 38 babies. Among them, there are 13 Bronze Rank and 27 Black Iron Rank."

While the keeper was introducing the babies, Lu Wu was scanning them with the hope of finding a hidden gem.

After scanning all 38 summoned beast babies, Lu Wu realized that their attributes were mostly consistent with the keeper's introduction, and even if there were discrepancies, they weren't significant.

Upon reflection, this situation was normal. After all, they were in the Zhenhai Tower's Logistics Department.

This was the headquarters of the strongest military power in Jiangnan, and how could they possibly have overlooked any hidden gems in their own territory?

"Let's go check out other places. Since we're here, we shouldn't just pick one randomly.

Besides, you need a demon-type, but that doesn't mean the second one has to be demon-type too. You can choose a different type for the third one!"

After making a full circle, Lu Wu spoke to the hesitant Lin Jianying.

Lin Jianying was still undecided, but Lu Wu pulled him away.

After that, Lu Wu and the others continued their tour of the Nursery Zone.

They spent several hours and managed to inspect all 1,221 summoned beast babies in the remaining zones.

After the inspection, Lu Wu felt a bit disappointed as he hadn't found any that he liked.

What puzzled Lu Wu even more was that among these 1,221 summoned beasts, there wasn't a single one with a quality above Silver Rank.

"Is your Zhenhai Tower so poor? Or are you too stingy to bring out Silver Rank or higher summoned beast babies?"

Lu Wu felt that the latter was more likely the case.

After all, Zhenhai Tower was the top dog in the Jiangnan military system, and it was unlikely that they had such a small pool of summoned beasts.

It was clear that they were just being stingy.

This furthered Lu Wu's understanding of his family's frugality.

"I knew it. She agreed to give me three so easily because she was waiting for me here!" Lu Wu muttered to himself.

At that moment, Jiang Tianyang asked, "Did you find anything suitable? Or do you want to check out the other side?"

"Let's go check out the other side!"

Lu Wu had come all this way, so he couldn't just leave without checking the other side. He decided to go and see if there were any surprises. If not, at least he could take a look at the Bronze Rank summoned beasts.

...
