…

Lu Wu looked at his internal network account with a smile of happiness and joy on his face.

Okay, this was no longer just a smile—he was outright laughing!

Especially when he saw the total shared revenue at the end, Lu Wu's smile almost reached his ears.

"What a surprise, a real damn surprise!

I hadn't expected that goblin money would be so easy to earn!"

"Not only did I rake in 2000 points in one go, it's been less than a day and another 222 points have already been credited to my account!

It looks like the popularity of the goblin as a summoned beast is way higher than that of Little Skeleton!

I've hit a gold mine here; I'm going to make a fortune!"

Lu Wu, ecstatic, didn't realize that his harvest actually came from an accident.

In fact, the reason Lu Wu had been able to reap 222 points in less than a day after listing the "injection" series was entirely due to the speed at which the series was listed.

In less than a day, Lu Wu had updated the version nine times.

The internal network had a recommendation feature for newly listed cultivation plans, although it scrolled very quickly.

But the nine consecutive screen refreshes had begun to attract the attention of a small group of people, including some cultivation masters who were very curious about the programs that had been updated nine times in one day, so they jumped on it.

This accounted for the 222 points earned in one day.

However, Lu Wu didn't have a clue about this yet, he simply thought that goblin money was easier to make than Little Skeleton money.

All he could think about now was how to further use the goblin as a summoned beast to make more money.

"Why don't I strike while the iron is hot and delve into the goblin's evolution system?

Just the cultivation plans are so lucrative, if I can develop the evolution system, wouldn't that shoot me up?"

"Also, I haven't found my high school league teammate yet; maybe I should pick a goblin?

If I could put on an impressive show in the high school league with a goblin, given the league's popularity, the advertising impact would be amazing!

I'd definitely make a big fortune after the match!"

Thinking about this, Lu Wu was especially excited, his eyes nearly turning into the shape of money.

Of course, it wasn't that Lu Wu was greedy or money-grubbing.

It was really because it's not easy for a kid from an ordinary family to grow up—all aspects require money.

He calculated that the next phase of quality improvement for Little Skeleton required adopting plans from the "Undead Skeletons Classification," and buying all those plans would cost at least a few thousand points.

After all, his learning path was different from others; others might just need the basics.

He needed to expand his knowledge base as much as possible, experiencing more approaches, so he couldn't afford to miss any plan.

It was going to be very costly!

And that was just the expense needed for improving his own knowledge.

Next, he also needed to nourish Little Skeleton, nurture a second summoned beast, and in the later stages, he might even need to set up a research institute.

Additionally, he needed to nourish Dudu!

He found that every time Dudu used its Bonds Skill, there was a certain reduction in its weight limit.

After Dudu used its Bonds Skill last time, its peak weight settled at 180, and this time, it remained around 160.

This discovery greatly stimulated Lu Wu.

He wanted to help Dudu slim down as soon as possible.

Well, whether he looks good or not isn't important—what matters is that Lu Wu likes helping Dudu.

And to help Dudu slim down quickly, money, or rather points, was essential.

With expenses in all aspects, even if Lu Wu tried to remain aloof, hearing about points would still make his eyes light up again.

"This money must be made!

My second teammate's summoned beast has to be a goblin!

Right, isn't Lin Jianying's summoned beast a goblin? His family's goblin is also quite strong; why don't I just poach him?"

Lu Wu felt pretty confident about poaching Lin Jianying.

He was just like the male version of Dudu; as long as Lu Wu was a bit more assertive, poaching him would definitely not be a problem.

"I'm going to poach him tomorrow!

This kid is also among the top ten in the key class, if I poach him, Instructor Ye Qingxue would probably be so angry she'd bleed."

Thinking about this, Lu Wu was even more delighted, almost wishing he could pick up the phone and start poaching right there.

However, before Lu Wu could make a call, a call came in first.

Lu Wu picked it up and saw it was from Li Chun.

"Hello, Teacher Li, what's up so late?

What did you say? Granny Li is not doing well?

Hold on, I'm coming right away!"

After hanging up, Lu Wu rushed to Quancheng Hospital immediately.

However, since Lu Wu didn't have a car, and it was a bit late for taxis, he ultimately had no choice but to have Little Skeleton carry him to Quancheng Hospital.

Little Skeleton was quite happy with this task, running joyfully.

It enjoyed itself, but the one riding on its back, Lu Wu, suffered.

Since Little Skeleton was nothing but a frame of bones, and it kept running and jumping on the way to Quancheng Hospital, by the time Lu Wu arrive

Despite Lu Wu's desperate effort, he was still one step too late.

When he arrived, Granny Li had already passed away.

Although Lu Wu had seemed to enjoy battling in the Big Cemetery, it was actually Little Skeleton who was doing the fighting, and the opponents were Corpses-type Summoned Beasts.

Lu Wu had never truly faced death before.

He hadn't expected that his very first real encounter with life and death would come in this way.

When he saw the elderly person lying on the hospital bed and Lin Jianying weeping bitterly beside her, a myriad of emotions surged in Lu Wu's heart, and he couldn't quite pinpoint how he felt.

Although he wasn't very close to Lin Jianying or Granny Li,

the memories of his past life were still with him.

At this moment, Lu Wu felt a heavy oppression in the hospital room, making it difficult for him to stay long. He could only step forward, pat Lin Jianying on the shoulder, say "My condolences," and then silently leave the room.

When Lu Wu stepped out, he saw Li Chun not far from the ward, pulling a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and subconsciously trying to open it to smoke one. However, he paused midway, evidently remembering that smoking was prohibited in the hospital, and silently put the cigarettes away.

Lu Wu knew that Teacher Li was always warm-hearted.

When he had first transmigrated, worried that Lu Wu might take things hard, Li Chun had tried to console him in various ways and even recommended him to work at Li Kai's shop.

He wasn't just like this with Lu Wu, but with other students as well. Since Lin Jianying's grandmother's incident, Li Chun had frequently come to visit.

He would occasionally help Lin Jianying out and had secretly paid for some of her medical expenses.

Therefore, Lu Wu held considerable respect for this teacher.

And greeted him with the utmost politeness,

"Teacher!"

Hearing Lu Wu's voice, Li Chun looked up a bit sluggishly, and upon seeing it was Lu Wu, he gave a slightly forced smile.

"You came?"

"Yeah!" Lu Wu nodded, sitting down beside Li Chun.

Both were in a somber mood and didn't speak much. After sitting in silence for a while, Lu Wu finally spoke up, "Teacher, it's already so late. Why don't you go home first? You still have classes tomorrow, and I can stay here."

Li Chun shook his head, "Tomorrow's classes can be postponed. I can't leave now, I can't leave just you two kids here.

And with Lin's current state, I'm worried!

He was just expelled from the elite class by Instructor Ye this afternoon, and then this happened in the evening. I'm worried he might do something rash..."

"Wait, what did you say?"

Lu Wu was taken aback, then his eyes narrowed, "Ye Qingxue expelled him? Why?"

"I'm not exactly sure of the details, but I know that after today's internal training battle in the elite class, he was called away by Ye Qingxue.

Then he was expelled. Instructor Ye didn't give a reason, and Lin didn't say anything when I asked him. Given what has just happened, I didn't dare press further."

Saying this, Li Chun turned to look at Lu Wu, grasping his hand with a pleading look.

"Lu Wu, I remember your team is still short of one person. Could you consider Lin?

The high school competition is about to start, and with him being expelled now, his future could be ruined without a team to join!

I know there used to be some misunderstandings, some conflicts between you, but you've been friends since childhood. Couldn't you help him out?

He's only 18; we can't let him just collapse now.

Please, teacher, I beg you to help him!"

Lu Wu took a deep breath and patted Li Chun's hand, "Teacher, don't talk like that. Rest assured, I was already planning to take him in!

I won't let him be destroyed like this!

Just wait a moment; I'll go talk to him about this right now."

Saying this, Lu Wu stood up and once again entered the hospital room, coming up behind Lin Jianying.

"You were expelled by Ye Qingxue? What was the reason she expelled you?"

Lin Jianying didn't dare to speak.

Lu Wu added another question: "Was it because of me?"

Lin Jianying shuddered, subconsciously turning his head, his eyes filled with tears and confusion, as if to say 'how did you know?'

"It's not hard to guess. Teacher Li said it was after the training battle, and that Ye Qingxue called you into her office and then fired you.

Then, when Teacher Li asked you, you were too scared to speak.

Thinking about it, there's only one reason it could be, obviously because of the minor tactical adjustments I made for the goblin, as well as the cultivation, which she must have discovered."

In fact, Lu Wu had never intended to accept Lin Jianying, so he had been cautious in adjusting tactics and cultivation for Lin Jianying's goblin, afraid that Ye Qingxue would discover it and cause trouble for Lin Jianying.

But it had still been discovered.

What Lu Wu had not expected was that Ye Qingxue wouldn't just cause trouble for Lin Jianying, but would directly kick him out.

That really upset Lu Wu.

Although he had been preparing to poach Lin Jianying, he didn't want Lin Jianying to leave the elite class in this manner.

Plus, with Granny Li's death, a nameless rage was burning fiercely within Lu Wu, and he couldn't hold it back.

However, he didn't show this in front of Lin Jianying. After confirming everything, Lu Wu said in the calmest tone, "If she doesn't let you stay in the elite class, then so be it—it's nothing to covet.

I just so happen to have a spot open, come and fill it!"

Lin Jianying's eyes widened, "But..."

"Shut up. You still owe me a house, I'm your creditor and you have no right to refuse.

Besides, with the high school competition coming up, where am I supposed to find a teammate now?

That settles it then. I have more matters to attend to, so I won't stay here any longer. Teacher Li is outside if you need help!"

After finishing, Lu Wu didn't give Lin Jianying a chance to respond and directly turned and left the hospital room.

After giving a reassuring thumbs-up to the somewhat concerned Li Chun outside the room, Lu Wu walked out of the hospital while taking out his phone to call Zhao Kai Ming: "Hello, Grandpa Zhao? It's Xiao Lu here. Can I trouble you to investigate someone for me…"
