My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 184 - 182 Inheritance Land
Here it is! Here it is! Here it is!
Lu Wu just couldn’t contain his excitement anymore.
The legendary scenario of being kept by a rich woman and given kingdoms was about to happen.
The payoff for all the times he had called out "Mom" and "Godmom" was finally coming.
However, Lu Wu felt that he couldn’t appear too eager; he had to be reserved, even if he was willing a thousand times over in his heart, he still had to put on a pretense.
But then he thought, what if his act led her to push the matter away, and he ended up with nothing?
So, Lu Wu switched to a different kind of reserve, remaining silent, just watching the rich woman timidly nod her head with shyness.
He was hoping that the rich woman would give him a hundred or eighty thousand points.
However, Lu Wu had clearly underestimated Jiang Yuexing’s generosity; what were a hundred or eighty thousand points? If she was going to give a gift, it would be something more special.
Jiang Yuexing twirled the recently acquired necklace in her fingers while gently tapping on the table, gradually regaining her queenly demeanor, and articulately said, "I’ll give you Jiangnan University."
"What?"
Lu Wu thought there might be something wrong with his ears: "What did you say?"
"I said, I’m going to give you Jiangnan University!"
This time it was clear enough. Lu Wu found that his ears weren’t failing him, but it seemed like his newfound rich godmom might have some issues upstairs.
"Godmom, this joke..."
"This is no joke!"
Jiang Yuexing stopped tapping on the table, her gaze fully on Lu Wu.
All the shyness and timidity Lu Wu had seen in her, like that of a young girl, was put away, replaced by an unquestionable authority, a full queenly aura.
"You have already been accepted into Jiangnan University, and you will start this year.
After you enroll, I want you to compete to become the leader of the Jiangnan University summoner’s school team.
Read 𝓁atest chapters at fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm Only.
Then you’ll be in charge of preparing for next year’s Alliance Cup University Competition!
I want you to shine in next year’s competition just like you did in high school!"
Now Lu Wu understood, after all this, the rich woman was assigning him tasks.
Assigning tasks is fine, but giving away universities—why not just ask me to fly to the moon?
Lu Wu rolled his eyes internally.
Of course, he only dared roll his eyes in his mind, not daring to show it on his face.
But he did dare to voice his opinion.
"Um, I heard that the leader of a university summoner’s school team is usually a senior student. I’m just a newbie who’s just enrolled; I probably won’t stand much of a chance, right?
Even if I did manage to beat them, preparing for the Alliance Cup University Competition would be pushing it. I might be eager, but I’m not sure I have the strength!"
Jiang Yuexing glanced at Lu Wu.
She easily saw through his little ruse.
"How to become the team leader and how to prepare for the competition are for you to figure out, and any difficulties are for you to overcome."
Lu Wu’s face darkened slightly.
He felt that this rich woman was somewhat stingy.
Even being the Governor of Jiangnan, she was not generous.
All work and no play, it seemed she didn’t plan to let the horse graze.
However, just as Lu Wu was worrying about having no grass to eat and being at the mercy of others like a hardworking little horse,
Jiang Yuexing in front of him suddenly changed the subject: "How much do you know about the benefits for the top three in the high school competition?"
Lu Wu blinked, then shook his head, indicating he knew nothing.
"The benefit for placing in the top three of the high school competition is provided by each province. Here in Jiangnan, the top three prize is access to a special Secret Realm controlled by the Jiangnan Alliance—The Inheritance Land!
Here’s some information about the Inheritance Land, take a look."
With that, Jiang Yuexing passed Lu Wu a stack of papers.
The information wasn’t extensive—just seven or eight pages, roughly three or four thousand words, with an additional map.
In just a few minutes, Lu Wu had read through it all and completely memorized it.
After reading it, an expression of amazement couldn’t help but appear on his face.
Without this document, he would have never known such a wondrous Secret Realm existed.
The so-called Inheritance Land was actually a Secret Realm filled with mysterious altars. It opened only once a year and allowed only nine humans to enter each time; there was no limit on Summoned Beasts—one could bring as many as they had, but there was a power restriction—they couldn’t exceed Boss Level.
The role of the Inheritance Land was to enhance the power of Summoned Beasts.
Inside, each altar was guarded by a Summoned Beast. Defeating the guardian beast would activate the altar, sacrificing the fallen beast to augment another Summoned Beast’s Quality, Power, and Skills.
Each Summoned Beast could only undergo the ritual of inheritance once, but after obtaining the inheritance, they would, at the very least, gain an increase in power of 1 star.
The most terrifying case was from seven years ago, when a summoner conquered an altar, and his Summoned Beast’s Quality jumped directly from Bronze to Gold, while its power surged from Elite 2 Star to Boss 3 Star, instantly making said summoner a Professional Cultivator.
Lu Wu looked at the document in his hands, and considering his own chance to enter the Inheritance Land, he couldn’t contain his excitement.
While Lu Wu was excited, Jiang Yuexing handed him another intelligence briefing.
"You just saw the information that is available to everyone, but this one is a compilation of non-public intelligence summarized by the Jiangnan side."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wu became even more excited and quickly started to flip through the new materials.
Indeed, the briefing Jiang Yuexing had taken out was far more detailed and comprehensive than the previous one.
It included the classification of altars and some special poses for sacrifices.
"These altars have attributes, and they are separate in levels. Moreover, sacrificing at an altar is not as simple as just slaying the Summoned Beast on it; that’s just the basics. By adding different items, the Summoned Beast can receive even more.
As for what to add, we don’t have much detailed information on this side; you might want to study the sacrifice-related aspects yourself.
Besides, although the entry to the Inheritance Land is restricted by the number of people, it doesn’t limit the number of Summoned Beasts.
Your spiritual power, after Little Skeleton reaches 3 Stars, will enable you to contract a third Summoned Beast.
Now, there’s almost two weeks left before this Secret Realm opens; you can use this time to cultivate the third Summoned Beast."
At this point, Jiang Yuexing finally gave Lu Wu a shock.
She handed Lu Wu a token engraved with the word "Town."
"This is the Sea Suppression Tower Logistics Token; you can take this token to the Fucheng Town Sea Tower Logistics Department to select a young summoned creature or a Summoning Stone."
When Lu Wu heard this, he immediately perked up, reached out to take the token, and pondered what kind of Summoned Beast he should cultivate next.
The little goldfish was from the sea, Little Skeleton from land; maybe it was time for something that could fly in the sky!
That’s how Lu Wu cheerfully decided on the category for his third Summoned Beast.
But he hadn’t forgotten his teammates.
"Could I get two more, by any chance?"
Lu Wu needed to get one for Dudu, and since he was at it, he might as well get one for Lin Jianying too.
The stingy rich woman was surprisingly generous at this moment and nodded in agreement without hesitation.
She also added, "If you do what I just asked you to, I guarantee that you will become the President of Jiangnan University within ten years, and I will also give you some other rewards."
After saying this, Jiang Yuexing didn’t explain what the other rewards were and simply dismissed Lu Wu.
"These leaders, always issuing empty promises!"
Lu Wu was dissatisfied but didn’t have a choice.
As she gestured to show him out, he had no choice but to leave with the token.
Jiang Yuexing, on her part, looked at the tokens with slight regret and watched Lu Wu leave, turning back three times with each step. Her expression remained unchanged until Lu Wu was completely out of sight, then she pouted and let her queenly facade collapse, showing a girlish emotion as she muttered,
"Do you still expect benefits from me? Do you know how much your dad owes me? Even flaying and picking your bones wouldn’t pay it off!"
She had been naive and easily deceived when she first encountered Lu Haikong.
Just a few words from him, and she was eating out of his hand, and after he ate, he ran off, leaving her alone and pitiable.
Now, well.
She had grown up, learned to wear masks, and even mastered the art of writing bad checks.
Lu Wu thought he could trick benefits and eat soft food from her?
Fine! First, pay back what Lu Haikong owes!
"If he can help Jiangnan University through this crisis, I’ll consider it paying back one percent of that guy’s debt to me."
Jiang Yuexing was determined to have Lu Wu work off Lu Haikong’s debt for her.
As for the benefits, Lu Wu could basically forget it.
Of course, this wasn’t absolute; if Lu Wu could bring Lu Haikong over, well, she couldn’t promise other things, but a hundred and eighty thousand points should be possible.
It was lucky for Lu Wu not to know this; otherwise, he’d probably be plotting how to sell out his dad right now.
Unfortunately, Lu Wu was none the wiser, so he missed out on the chance to get rich overnight, along with the chance for his dad to slap him dead.
After leaving Jiang Yuexing’s place, Lu Wu, holding the token, immediately found Dudu, who was being protected by Little Skeleton, prohibiting any male creatures from approaching within a meter.
Well, it was only after Dudu became beautiful that Lu Wu started to show his possessive and jealous nature.
Especially after experiencing the whole audience lusting after his wife twice, Lu Wu felt like the whole world was trying to steal his wife.
Now, if anyone dared to look at Dudu for too long or come within two meters, Lu Wu was ready to swing a brick.
He even had thoughts of fattening Dudu up again so that she would be less desirable to others.
And by the way, it wasn’t Lu Wu who first came up with this idea, it was implanted subliminally by his mother during one of Dudu’s thin phases.
Before, Lu Wu thought this was impractical; although Pang Duddu was cute, Slim Dudu was sexier.
Cuteness was worthless compared to sexiness.
But now, the jealous Lu Wu thought that fattening her up would be better.
Fat wives are less attractive!
As for Dudu’s part, she didn’t care about being fat or skinny; she was particularly indecisive. Whatever Lu Wu said went.
If he told her to get fat, she’d get fat. If he told her to slim down, she’d slim down.
She didn’t feel resentful or anything. Whatever Lu Wu said, was always right!
