My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 266 - 263 Task System Established
Chapter 266: 263 Task System Established
Chapter 266: 263 Task System Established
Lu Wu was a bit dumbfounded when he heard the other party ask for 80,000 right off the bat.
Especially hard to believe was the fact that the other party didn’t seem to know who he was.
Could it be that Lu Wu’s reputation held no weight at all?
Or was it that Lu Wu looked like he deserved a beating, and everyone wanted to step on him when they saw him?
Even if you’re going to raise the price right there on the spot, you ought to follow some basic rules, right?
Thus, Lu Wu spoke to them in a joking tone,
“Don’t you know who I am? Aren’t you afraid I’ll just develop an advanced plan myself and steal your business?”
The other party was very polite,
“Dear, if you can pull that off, you’re welcome to try!”
Lu Wu nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.
He immediately hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Lu Wu felt something was off and had someone check the background of that company.
Upon checking, Lu Wu knew where the problem lay.
It lay with the owner of the company.
The company was named “Sky Suppressing Cultivation,” and the owner’s surname was Gu, yes, like Gutian of the Gu family.
The company belonged to Gutian.
After all, it was an old rival,
“No wonder!”
“Well, I originally wanted to take it easy, but now it looks like I have to handle it myself,”
Lu Wu said this with a sense of helplessness.
But his sleeves were already rolled up, and his eyes were shining brightly.
Clearly, he was gearing up for a big fight.
Meanwhile, as Lu Wu was filled with determination,
Gutian was in a great mood too.
Hiking the price right off the bat was his direct instruction, seeing as Lu Wu had made a mess of the father and son of the Gu family last time in Beijing.
He had been bedridden for over a month, and his son had been questioning his entire life after that beating.
After the competition ended, Guzhentian locked himself in his room for a full week.
It took a lot of effort just to come out of his room, and the next day he dived into the Secret Realm and hadn’t come out since.
Having been humiliated by Lu Wu, it was no wonder Gutian didn’t want to sell to him.
“That kid’s character leads me to believe he’s probably already working on the Steel Armor Bull’s evolution plan?”
Regarding whether Lu Wu could develop an evolution plan for the Steel Armor Bull, Gutian didn’t doubt it.
Given his talent, Lu Wu would surely be able to come up with it.
It was just a matter of how long it would take.
And right now, the redesigned “Steel Armor Wild Boar Evolution Gift Package” at Jiangnan University was crucial; if Lu Wu delayed, his and his company might endure, but Jiangnan University couldn’t handle it.
“Besides, even if he figures it out early, he’ll find out that I have him by the neck in terms of the critical materials, and at that point, he’ll still have to beg me.”
Thinking that soon, Lu Wu would have to come begging, Gutian felt incredibly delighted.
While he was enjoying this thought, his phone rang.
Gutian looked at the caller ID, flinched, and instinctively stood up to pick it up respectfully,
“Mr. Feng…”
Before Gutian could finish his greeting, the old man on the phone asked, “Did you choke off Lu Wu’s neck with the Steel Armor Bull product?”
Gutian was taken aback.
Cautiously, he responded, “How could such a small matter disturb you…”
“Do not provoke him!”
That was all the person said before hanging up, leaving Gutian holding his phone, utterly dumbfounded.
After a while, Gutian realized what had happened, and he immediately called his subordinate.
Soon, Gutian’s subordinate contacted Lu Wu’s company to retract the previous quote and expressed willingness to sell to Lu Wu’s company at a price of 5,000 per piece.
This price effectively meant making no profit at all.
Mainly because that phone call had scared Gutian, and he was somewhat panicked.
So there was a sense of trying to avert disaster by taking a financial hit.
But his attempt to avert disaster didn’t come to fruition, as his subordinate soon returned and reported back to him.

“Boss, the Lu Group has reported that they’ve developed a new evolution scheme.”
Upon hearing this, Gutian was stunned.
How long had it been?
Less than three hours from start to finish, and they had managed to develop a new evolution scheme?
Gutian felt that either Lu Wu was lying, or he was cheating.
The truth was the latter.
Initially, from the moment Lu Wu purchased those three products, he had deduced Gutian’s evolution scheme through the products.
It was just that Lu Wu was conscious of copyrights.
He felt that stealing someone else’s idea was not right and wanted to support the original legally.
However, unexpectedly, he encountered Gutian, who refused to cooperate, leaving Lu Wu no choice. He immediately went to the ranch and pulled out 371 Steel Armor Bulls on the brink of evolving.
The cultivation plan was something that could be used on a Summoned Beast once a day, not just once a day in total.
This meant that as long as Lu Wu had enough Summoned Beasts, he could actually modify the scheme hundreds of times in a day.
He pulled out all 371 Steel Armor Bulls and modified each one.
Just as Gutian was about to concede, Lu Wu came up with a scheme he hadn’t anticipated.
Evolution Scheme: Steel Armor Dairy Cow
Description: A brand-new version modified from the original Steel Armor Bull evolution scheme.
This version is only applicable to female cows, and though the combat power of the evolved cows will be lower, the quality of the milk produced will be much higher than that of regular Steel Armor Bulls.
Not only is it superior as a material, but long-term consumption can also strengthen the physique of a Summoned Beast.
This scheme was much better for Lu Wu than Gutian’s, which made Lu Wu question how he could possibly still want Gutian’s products.
Even if Lu Wu’s cultivation scheme was a bit more expensive, costing about ten thousand points each, he was determined to use it.
With this cultivation plan, production of Lu Wu’s “Steel Armor Wild Boar Evolution Gift Package” no longer faced any problems.
Lu Wu was then able to focus more on the reforms at Jiangnan University.
And after firmly establishing the academic points system, Lu Wu’s reforms could officially begin.
At this time, Lu Wu was finally able to integrate the task system.
Over the next few days, Lu Wu began to meet with various people in Jiangnan Province.
First and foremost was his godmother, Jiang Yuexing.
Setting up the task system for the Cultivation Institute was manageable since it was all about cultivation; Jiangnan University could handle it internally.
But the situation at the Summoner Institute was different.
Their tasks were mainly combat and exploration-oriented.
Such tasks couldn’t just come out of nowhere, nor could Jiangnan University arrange them just for students’ amusement.
Thus, Lu Wu needed to meet with Jiang Yuexing to discuss outsourcing some tasks from the Alliance, like hunting Summoner criminals, rounding up Summoned Beasts, and patrolling.
Since returning from the Demon Cave, Lu Wu hadn’t seen the rich woman.
He hadn’t expected that their first meeting would be in a professional capacity.
Their relationship changed at that moment.
Originally a mother-son relationship, now one was the de facto leader of Jiangnan University and the other was the Governor of Jiangnan Province; they were essentially in a working relationship.
Possibly due to the incident in the Demon Cave, Jiang Yuexing was surprisingly cooperative during the discussion of this new collaboration.
Lu Wu easily secured a piece of business from the Alliance’s side, giving the task board at Jiangnan University’s Summoner Institute some work.
Subsequently, Lu Wu also met with the head of the Summoner Center and similarly secured a piece of business from there.
Smoothly, Lu Wu established the task system at Jiangnan University.
Once Jiangnan University’s task system was established, the broad framework of Jiangnan University’s reforms was basically in place.
Following that, Lu Wu wouldn’t need to be so busy; he just needed to supervise and make any necessary adjustments.
As for whether Lu Wu’s reforms this time would succeed or fail, only time could tell.
However, Lu Wu was quite confident in himself.
If nothing unexpected happened, he should be successful.
The plot involving Jiangnan University will end in one or two chapters, and then we’ll return to Summoned Beast Cultivation.
