Chapter 13: 013 Iron Quality Summoned Beast
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lu Wu didn't notice Pang Tutu.
Right now, all his attention was focused on the data of the few summoned beasts he had just seen.
...
Name: Coyote
Strength: 3 stars (normal)
Quality: Normal (Enhance)
Class: Wind
Status: Alert (It thinks you are not a good person and believes that you must be greedy for its owner's body, so it wants to bite you!)
Skills: Wind Blade (Proficient), Gale (Proficient), Bite (Proficient)
Weaknesses: Thunder, Grass
Comment: It is a trashy summoned beast that has been trained to a certain degree. It has some combat skills and can handle about fifty Skeletons.
...
Name: Snowman
Strength: 3 stars (normal)
Quality: Iron (Enhance)
Class: Ice and Snow
Status: Happy (As a summoned beast who's into visual appeal, it thinks that your appearance matches it very well. Well, you can try to see if you can abduct it!)
Skills: Frozen Breath (Competent) Fog (Proficient) Frozen Fist (Proficient) Ice Shield (Proficient)
Weaknesses: Fire, Grass
Comment: It has the combat skill of more than 100 Skeletons.
In terms of potential, the quality of Iron meant it had hopes to be promoted to the level [Chief], just barely considered a noob.
Well, you should try to abduct it!
...
The attributes of these two summoned beasts were two representative ones that Lu Wu saw from those seniors.
The former was the average level of special classes.
The latter was the standard of summoned beasts from those seniors who were admitted to the summoner's universities.
Lu Wu had to admit that once he saw the attributes of these two summoned beasts, his slightly inflated ego after the [Skeleton's Training Manual 2.0] version instantly deflated.
As the frog in the well, it was only now that he truly saw what the world looked like.
Now, he realised the requirements of the standard of summoned beast in order to qualify for the National High School League.
With the two summoned beasts above as examples, the former Coyote was already considered incredibly powerful for Lu Wu right now.
But such a summoned beast couldn't even pass the preliminaries for the league.
Even the latter Snowman, despite how powerful it seemed.
Although it helped its owner enter the summoner's university, in fact, Snowman's performance in the National High School League was just mediocre.
Its final ranking was 27th in Quancheng city's individual matches, and 16th in team matches. It was not even qualified to represent Quancheng to participate in the provincial competition.
You could see how prestigious the National High School League was.
And how difficult it was to become a professional summoner!
Knowing this, Lu Wu could understand why Li Chun had absolutely no confidence in him to be admitted to the summoner's universities.
How could he possibly be confident about this?
If Lu Wu wanted to be admitted to the summoner's universities, it meant that Lu Wu had to enhance Skeleton to the standard of Snowman within a year or even shorter.
This was assuming Lu Wu could enter the special class and had teammates.
If he couldn't improve greatly by the time classes were divided, and failed to enter the special class, or perhaps he entered but no one wanted to team up with him, he would have no choice but to sacrifice his "average-looking" face or form a team himself.
In the worst-case scenario, Lu Wu might have to form a team with teammates at the same level as him, then the challenge of the league would spike exponentially.
Although he should not turn out to be so miserable, Lu Wu still felt suffocatingly stressed.
"No, no, I can't be so idle. While there's still some time in the afternoon, I should check if the library is still open!"
As he talked, Lu Wu got up abruptly and headed towards the library.
His sudden action surprised Pang Tutu who was unprepared.
She was still hesitating whether to take the bento out. But seeing this, Pang Tutu had to put the bento back.
Enduring her hunger, she followed behind Lu Wu to the library.
Pang Tutu was very unfortunate.
But Lu Wu had good luck.
He was worried that the library would be closed today, but to his surprise, it was open.
Excited, he seized this last chance, picked out a few books from the shelf and began reading.
Pang Tutu looked at Lu Wu who had turned on reading mode again. She was very hungry and felt a little upset.
But she didn't show it and didn't bother Lu Wu.
She also got a book and sat opposite Lu Wu to accompany him reading.
They stayed at the library for a few hours. When the library was about to close early at around seven o'clock, then Lu Wu reluctantly emerged from the reading mode.
"Let's go! Let's head home early today!"
Pang Tutu was prepared to take out the bento, but on second thought, she didn't do it as she thought that the food must be cold after a whole day.
In addition, after a whole day of waiting, her courage to take out the bento had frittered away.
Therefore, she still did not take out the bento that she got up at four or five o'clock in the morning to prepare.
Being hungry the whole afternoon, she did not utter a word.
Following Lu Wu, she returned the book. Holding the piglet, carrying a school bag which contained the bentoes, she trailed behind Lu Wu like his tail as usual.
The only difference was that her mood was a little low today.
Technically, she should have been used to this situation. After all, before Lu Wu transmigrated, she had been treated worse.
Compared to her treatment before, this was already considered okay.
But somehow, she felt more aggrieved and a little more upset than before.
She herself couldn't tell why.
While Pang Tutu was still stuck in her depressed thoughts, Lu Wu who was walking in front of her suddenly stopped.
"Stand here and wait for me!"
"Okay!"
Pang Tutu was a little puzzled, but she still nodded obediently and stopped.
Lu Wu turned and walked into a nearby shop. Shortly after, he came out with a plastic bag.
"Here!"
Lu Wu came back to Pang Tutu and handed her the bag which held a bottle of water and a piece of bread. Pang Tutu was stunned at the instant as she was not mentally prepared at all.
"I heard your stomach churning, give me your piglet and schoolbag so you can eat!"
Saying this, Lu Wu directly shoved the bag into Pang Tutu's hand, and at the same time, he grabbed the piglet from her arms and the schoolbag from her shoulder.
When Lu Wu touched the piglet, he was taken aback.
Because he saw that the piglet was hungry, and the comment mentioned that it hadn't eaten for almost a day.
This was impossible! Pang Tutu treasured her piglet like a daughter. She wouldn't let this pig starve… unless Pang Tutu also hadn't eaten for an entire day.
Thinking about this, Lu Wu suddenly noticed that the weight of the schoolbag in his hand was a little too heavy.
At this moment, Lu Wu seemed to realize something and he immediately opened the schoolbag. As expected, Lu Wu saw two heavy bentoes inside.
Everything made sense now. Lu Wu's face grew grave, and he prodded at the head of Pang Tutu, who was at a loss due to Lu Wu's sudden kindness and the exposure of her bentoes.
"I have never seen someone as silly as you!"
