My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 226 - 223 Little Skeleton’s New Junior Brother

On the high-speed train from Fucheng to Beijing.

Lu Wu was playing with Little Skeleton's phone, looking at the attributes of a new underling that Little Skeleton had just subdued recently.

Name: Skeleton Mage (Pei Qi No. 2) (First Evolution)

Power: 1 star (Elite)

Quality: Ordinary (Bronze (inferior)) (Enhanced)

Attribute: Undead, Nether Water

State: Asleep (Sleeping in the phone)

Weakness: Light (Strong), Flames (Moderate), Thunder (Moderate)

Basic Skills: Corrosive Hand (Mastered), Nether Water Shield (Mastered), Nether Water Attack (Mastered)

Advanced Spells: Nether Water Sword (Unmastered)

Talent: Nether Water Spell Enhancement (Basic)

Description: A particularly crappy summoned beast.

Since Pei Qi No. 1 merged with the pig, their slots in Little Skeleton's phone had merged from two into one.

That freed up one slot.

Right then, there was a breakthrough in the evolution of the Little Skeleton Mages at the Fucheng Research Center, so Lu Wu got a Little Skeleton Mage from there.

Yes, it was the one Lu Wu was looking at now.

Judging from its attributes, it was exceptionally crappy; it had no prestige when brought out, not to mention its combat power. For the current Lu Wu, this little guy was practically useless, and Lu Wu might have been able to suppress it himself without even making a move.

But Lu Wu still let Little Skeleton keep it.

It was for research purposes.

"Another first-evolution Skeleton Mage added, but Little Skeleton's talent awakening hasn't changed. Is it because the underling's first evolution is not good enough? Or is it the Skeleton Mage itself?

Not sure yet, but I could try evolving the Little Skeleton Mage further."

For Lu Wu, this Little Skeleton Mage was just a tool mage.

Its purposes were two-fold: one to verify the rules of Little Skeleton's talent awakening, and the other to scout ahead for Little Skeleton.

Lu Wu planned to cultivate it for a second evolution first, to see if he could find other paths of evolution.

Of course, evolving a Little Skeleton Mage to that level was expensive, but luckily, Lu Wu lacked everything but money.

With tens of thousands of points a day, Lu Wu could cultivate this little guy without even spending a day's worth of money.

"Hmm, it takes about ten hours from Fucheng to Beijing. The phone plan for Little Skeleton is still at a bottleneck, so I'll take this time to tailor a money-burning cultivation scheme for this Pei Qi No. 2.

After all, it's just twenty or thirty thousand, quite cheap."

Upon hearing Lu Wu's words, Zhang Wentao beside him couldn't help but cover his heart.

Twenty or thirty thousand to cultivate a Little Skeleton? And that's cheap?

Is that even human talk?

As expected, Lu Wu became less adorable after he got rich.

Meanwhile, as Lu Wu was preparing for research, the phone that Little Skeleton was playing with rang.

Little Skeleton obediently handed it over.

"Lu Wu, a rich woman is looking for you!"

Lu Wu was startled and took the phone: "Mom, what do you need?"

"Why didn't you tell me when you left?" Jiang Yuexing was clearly displeased.

Do I need to report that I'm just going to Beijing to get a certificate and then returning?

Lu Wu frowned and straightened up.

Rich woman, are you teaching me how to handle my matters?

Well, it was forceful, but of course, this was just in Lu Wu's thoughts. What came out of his mouth was especially sweet: "Isn't this just me going to get a Master Certificate to surprise you?

Your son is the youngest Master Cultivator in the history of the Alliance, am I not bringing you glory?"

Lu Wu easily manipulated the rich woman.

"Go early and come back early, don't dawdle too long outside, it's not safe.

Also, if some messy woman comes looking for you, don't go off with her, you hear?"

The rich woman's tone had softened a lot as she spoke like a mother, instructing Lu Wu with a list of matters before finally hanging up the phone.

After ending the call, Jiang Yuexing thought about it and still felt something was off.

Beijing had many women of questionable character, and she worried Lu Wu might be led astray. She wanted to follow him there but was too tied up to leave.

With no alternative, Jiang Yuexing had no choice but to make another call.

As soon as the other party picked up, Jiang Yuexing blurted out, "My son is going to Beijing for a visit, watch over him for me, and don't let any shady women get near him."

With that said, she hung up the phone.

Leaving the person who answered the call completely bewildered.

…

On Lu Wu's side,

He got busy immediately after hanging up.

It took him about eight hours to tailor-make a cultivation plan for Pei Qi No. 2.

After tallying up the cost, Lu Wu noted, "Hmm, elevating Pei Qi No. 2 from ordinary quality to bronze will require about twelve thousand points."

"Pretty good, pretty cheap, it's just about ten times more expensive than a White Bone Wild Boar.

It can be earned back in less than a morning."

Zhang Wentao turned away, huffing and puffing.

Enough is enough.

He truly despised such ostentatious wealth flaunting. Points? That's just gross money!

Knowledge is the sweet stuff!

"Uncle Zhang, I'll send you the points and the list later, could you arrange for someone to deliver it to my place?" Lu Wu said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wentao immediately turned back, thumping his chest, "Consider it done!"

Well, how to put it, at that moment Uncle Zhang also found points rather sweet-tasting.

He could make at least a thousand or eight hundred from this order alone.

Not long after finalizing the cultivation plan for Pei Qi No. 2, the high-speed train reached its final stop.

This was Lu Wu's first time visiting Beijing in his two lifetimes, and his mood was somewhat excited.

Stepping out of the train car,

Lu Wu's excitement level soared a few notches.

Mostly because he was stunned by the facilities at Beijing Station.

The first time Lu Wu traveled from Quan City to Fucheng, he was just as amazed by Fucheng Station, thinking that compared to Quan City, it seemed like a small village.

Now arriving in Beijing, Lu Wu's feelings were not much different.

Primarily because the facilities at Beijing Station were completely different from those at Fucheng Station, which focused primarily on architecture.

In Beijing, it was a combination of architecture, props, and even equipment.

From the moment Lu Wu disembarked, every object he saw seemed to have attributes.

What caught Lu Wu's attention the most, however, were the lights hanging overhead at the station.

Lu Wu initially thought they were just for lighting, but a closer look revealed that was not the case.

…

Item: Danger Sensing Processing Light

Level: Silver

Description: A hybrid of tools and technology, capable of not only providing illumination but also detecting energy within a range. It can suppress and eliminate energy outbursts in real-time.

ps: Can eliminate leader-level attacks

pss: Requires recharging.

Lu Wu never imagined that a mere lamp at the station would possess a silver quality, the same level as Little Skeleton's phone.

Was Beijing a bit too extravagant?

Moreover, there were other facilities, all equipped with detection and security functions.

Lu Wu could not help but exclaim after surveying them, "Just this station alone must have cost tens of millions, right?"

A local nearby overheard and immediately chuckled at his remark.

"Millions? Little bro, poverty has limited your imagination. This station was built with the involvement of people from the Cultivation Center in Beijing, its value can't be measured by money.

Don't even talk about millions, even billions couldn't build a station like this."

Did I say the millions were in currency?

Lu Wu was somewhat speechless, not knowing where this guy's bizarre sense of local superiority came from.

But Lu Wu didn't feel like arguing with him.

After all, this 'local' was just an ordinary person.

And although this uncle was filled with that inexplicable sense of superiority, he wasn't a bad person, just purely fond of showing off.

There was no need to confront him, so Lu Wu casually replied, "Beijing really is something else, our little place can't compare at all."

That ended it, the words directly hit the uncle's sweet spot.

The man got excited and said to Lu Wu, "Let me tell you, this station is nothing in our Beijing.

The headquarters of the Summoner Center, the headquarters of the Cultivation Center, the Alliance headquarters are all several streets ahead of this place.

Also, you know about the Phoenix Nest Training Ground, right?

It's the largest training ground in Beijing and it's currently hosting the Cultivation Masters competition. You guys should definitely go there if you have a chance. I'm telling you, it will be an eye-opener.

Right, the day after tomorrow is the finals of the Youth Cultivation Masters competition. If you want to go, you should go then.

That match will definitely be thrilling, you'll see how our Beijing's top talent, Guzhentian, crushes everyone.

Yes, yes, you absolutely mustn't miss it, you definitely need to see it. When you buy your tickets, just mention my name, I have a good brother there. Mentioning my name will be useful.

By the way, do you smoke? Want to try some Hua cigarettes?

I tell you, I just have a habit of smoking Hua, smoking others makes me cough…"

Lu Wu couldn't help but laugh and cry.

It was quite a struggle before he could finally free himself from this streetwise uncle.

As Lu Wu was leaving, the streetwise uncle didn't forget to wave his hand and remind Lu Wu to mention his name when buying the tickets.

It gets a discount!

"More like breaking a bone!"

Lu Wu shook his head but the matter of the Cultivation Masters competition indeed piqued his interest.

"I'll see then, if I have time and nothing else going on, I will go and check it out."

On the streetwise uncle's part.

He didn't realize until Lu Wu had left that Lu Wu wasn't alone; he was with two elderly gentlemen, a middle-aged man, and a chubby little girl.

At that moment, he was quite shocked, thinking that this little brother he just met might be somewhat significant?

But he didn't pay much heed.

After all, they were probably people he would never meet again.

...

Coming out from the station, Lu Wu and his group headed straight for the headquarters of the Cultivation Center.

They took a vehicle.

Although Zhang Wentao could fly, he couldn't just fly around in Beijing, in fact, anywhere outside Jiangnan, Summoned Beasts like Zhang Wentao couldn't just fly in any city's airspace.

The Alliance had specifically mandated this, as a lord-level Summoned Beast roaming freely over a city was too dangerous.

This was why Lu Wu and his group, instead of flying, took a motorized vehicle instead.

Initially, Lu Wu and his group could have gone directly to the Cultivation Center Headquarters, but halfway there, Zhang Wentao and Zhao Kai Ming insisted on stopping at a hotel to settle down first.

Lu Wu was a bit confused.

Just grabbing a certificate and leaving, why settle in?

To this, Zhang Wentao and others explained that Lu Wu was still too young.

Jiangnan University and others had waited who knows how long for the chance to appear before the old folks at the headquarters, how could they go there casually?

They needed to dress up a bit.

So, upon arriving at the hotel, Lu Wu was half-forced by the two elderly men to take a bath, and then was dressed in a set of Jiangnan University uniform that the two had specifically brought.

When Lu Wu came out, he realized that it wasn't just him getting spruced up.

Zhang Wentao and Zhao Kai Ming were also dressed to impress.

Wearing black Sun Yat-sen suits, sporting gold-rimmed glasses, and wearing the Jiangnan University badge on their chests.

Have to say, the two elderly men looked quite respectable after dressing up.

Still not finished, these two old men even rented a fleet and a ceremonial team.

Seeing their setup, those who knew understood that Lu Wu was receiving a Master Certificate, those who didn't thought Lu Wu was about to become the president of the Alliance.

"I mean, is this necessary?"

"Yes!"

Lu Wu felt helpless, but Zhang Wentao and Zhao Kai Ming were resolute.

They even contacted the media.

They had no choice, Jiangnan University had declined for too long, too long without any glory.

Moreover, not long ago, Zhang Yuechu single-handedly toppled all the senior officials of the school.

Now, Jiangnan University was a laughingstock throughout the entire Alliance.

This time, by using Lu Wu, the youngest ever Master Cultivator, to make a splash and vindicate Jiangnan University, how could they miss this chance?

Lu Wu could understand their feelings.

So, he didn't say much and let them go ahead with it.

A few hours later,

A massive fleet set out from the hotel where Lu Wu and the others were staying, ostentatiously heading towards the Cultivation Center Headquarters.

At this moment, Zhang Wentao and Zhao Kai Ming, excited, had no idea what awaited them at the Cultivation Center Headquarters.

Just as their fleet reached the main gate of the Cultivation Center Headquarters,

the gates of the Cultivation Center were tightly closed, outright refusing their fleet entry.

This situation was anticipated by Zhang Wentao and others, as they knew that the headquarters was not a place one could enter at will, and they didn't expect the fleet to go in.

They had contacted acquaintances at the headquarters the day before to make arrangements, asking the fleet to wait outside.

They took Lu Wu and the media inside, collected the certificate, then took a lap around the city before returning to the hotel.

However, just as Zhang Wentao and the others had the fleet stop and were about to take the media inside, someone came out from the headquarters.

An impeccably groomed old man in his fifties appeared.

He glanced at the fleet and the ceremonial team and immediately frowned.

"What's all this? What's with the fleet, and these media and ceremonial teams? Are you putting on a monkey show? Dismiss all of this!"

Zhang Wentao hurried forward, "May I ask who you are?"

"I am Deputy Director Gu Tian of the Beijing Cultivation Center."

Hearing the man's title, Zhang Wentao bowed slightly, "Deputy Director Gu, good day. I am Zhang Wentao, the President of Jiangnan University. We came here today with our student Lu Wu to collect his Master Certificate. About the fleet and ceremonial team, we had reported to the center in advance."

"Even if you reported, it's not acceptable. Just to collect a Master Certificate and you're making a spectacle like a monkey show, dismiss all of this!"

"This—"

Zhang Wentao felt embarrassed.

Hesitating whether to contact his old friend, but considering his old friend's influence was not greater than the man's, Zhang Wentao gave up, not wanting to trouble his friend.

"Old Zhao, let's withdraw the fleet—"

"You don't need to withdraw. Just retreat two li away, there's a parking lot there. We'll have them come over after we collect the certificate."

Although Lu Wu disliked Zhang Wentao's fuss, he didn't like seeing him being bullied, so he didn't remain silent at this time.

Zhang Wentao brightened up.

"That's a good idea."

As he was preparing to have the fleet retreat to the parking lot two li away, Gu Tian spoke up again.

"Better to just withdraw, to avoid embarrassment later. After all, you might not even get the certificate!"

Saying this, Gu Tian approached Lu Wu, looking him up and down.

"Are you Lu Wu?"

"Yes, I am!" Lu Wu responded expressionlessly.

"Young man, let me advise you to stay grounded. Don't seek undue glory, or you'll only suffer the consequences!"

After saying that, the old man turned and walked away.

Leaving Lu Wu utterly baffled.

...

4400 plus 7600, 12000 achieved, forget about cross-dressing.
