LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 308: 305 Spiritual Fruit
Speaking of treasure vaults, Lu Wu had once visited the vault at Jiangnan University.
However, the first time Lu Wu went there, practically everything valuable had been sold off by Old Zhang, leaving hardly any items.
Afterward, when Lu Wu took over Jiangnan University, he could easily access the vault.
But those inside were mostly earned by Lu Wu himself, and lacking legendary quality items, he didn't get particularly emotional coming and going.
So it seems, browsing someone else's treasure vault is the real thrill.
Like right now.
As soon as Lu Wu entered the Education Bureau's vault, he was all excited.
In the entire vault, the lowest quality items were all at gold level, and there was no shortage of legendary quality stuff.
Gazing upon such a treasure trove, Lu Wu felt as if he were dreaming and couldn't help asking a nearby leader, "I can just pick anything I want from here, right?"
"Yes, but you can only choose four items!"
The leader, a bit uneasy, added, "Would you like me to recommend a few things?"
Lu Wu shook his head decisively.
"No need, no need, there's no need to be so polite. I'll treat this place like my own home!"
I didn't ask you to treat this place like your own home!
The leader was internally spewing blood, but at that moment, Lu Wu obviously had no time to care whether the leader was internally bleeding.
Now he really did treat the vault as if it were his own home.
He began to wander around inside it.
Hmm, this Education Bureau's vault is evidently larger and more official than Jiangnan University's.
Everything inside had a record.
The level of the items, their uses, quantities – there was a specific booklet for all of that.
Lu Wu took the booklet and cross-referenced everything in the vault, and by the time he finished, his eyes were bloodshot.
Standing at the entrance, he racked his brains.
How many years would robbing the Education Bureau's vault get you?
If he were caught, could his family get him out? And with his physic, could he withstand a beating from Old Lu?
In the end, Lu Wu gave up the unrealistic idea.
He responsibly began selecting four items that belonged to him.
After making a round, he had some idea of what to pick for himself.
After going over it a few times in his head, Lu Wu finally made his choice and walked out with four items.
...
Item: Spiritual Fruit
Quality: Legendary
Effect: Contains extremely pure and gentle energy that can steadily and harmlessly enhance a person's physical attributes.
...
Lu Wu had picked this fruit for Dudu.
Speaking of which, Dudu hadn't slimmed down much since the last time.
Not sure whether it was harder to go from 140 to 120 or what, but it's been almost a year, and the points equivalent Dudu has eaten is approaching a million without losing weight.
Lu Wu figured it might be an issue of energy purity.
If that's the case, Dudu should be able to slim down after consuming this fruit.
Besides the Spiritual Fruit, Lu Wu also took three more items.
...
Item: Mysterious Iron Ore (500 pounds)
Quality: Legendary
Description: An excellent forging material, can be used to make equipment.
...
Item: Thunder Stone
Quality: Legendary
Description: A forging talent item that can imbue equipment with Thunder Attribute abilities.
...
Lu Wu had picked these two items together.
He planned to use these two materials as the main ingredients to forge a piece of equipment for himself.
Yes, for himself!
Lu Wu had learned Skyward Strike, and Little Gu's Shanzhai Monkey was lying in the lab waiting for Lu Wu's return and favor.
Without any hitches, Lu Wu should be able to learn another Inheritance Skill from the Shanzhai Monkey, called Sky Dominating Stick, in a short period.
In that case, what Lu Wu would be missing is a handy piece of equipment for himself.
Although it would be possible to use Little Skeleton's Bone Staff, the staff was one-of-a-kind, and if Lu Wu took it, Little Skeleton would be left without.
Thus, Lu Wu seized this opportunity to get some materials and make some equipment for himself.
The last item left Lu Wu somewhat hesitant.
He wasn't sure whether to get something for Dudu to patch him up, or to find some herbs or the like.
As Lu Wu hesitated, a leader came over and recommended an item to him.
…
Item: Mysterious Box
Quality: ???
Description: It cannot be opened due to a missing key. However, even without opening it, this box's quality is priceless.
…
When Lu Wu saw the item, his eyes immediately brightened.
"Alright, let's take this as the last one!"
With that, Lu Wu picked out four items and hurried back with Dudu.
After all, Lu Wu had a lot to do next.
He needed to help Dudu slim down, learn Sky Dominating Stick, and forge a piece of equipment.
He wasn't sure if three days would be enough.
After returning to his lodging, Lu Wu fell into deep thought.
He wondered whether he should prioritize helping Dudu slim down. If he put that first, Lu Wu was worried that he might not have time for anything else.
But if not...
Having finally found a hope for Dudu to slim down, Lu Wu was itching to see it happen.
After all, it had been a long time since he saw his "beautiful wife."
After some hesitation, Lu Wu finally fed the Spiritual Fruit to Dudu and then excitedly waited for him to slim down, rubbing his hands together.
Ten minutes passed.
Twenty minutes passed.
An hour went by in the blink of an eye, and Dudu showed no changes. Lu Wu was stunned.
"Even a 'Legendary Level' fruit doesn't work?"
Lu Wu started to panic, wondering if he would ever see his "beautiful wife" again in his lifetime.
In his anxiety, Lu Wu took out Dudu's attributes and studied them repeatedly.
…
Name: Pang Dudu
Power: Senior Summoner (Leader 3-star Combat Power)
Mastered Skills: Combat Form (Master Level), Gravity (Master Level) (Tuantuan)
Healing Skill (Master Level), Heart of Wood Spirit (Master Level) (Green Cub)
Special Skill: Bonds Growth (Charging Energy)
Summoner Talent: Unawakened
…
Lu Wu studied Dudu's attributes until he was blue in the face, but still turned up with no results.
"Where did it go wrong?"
Lu Wu couldn't figure it out.
But with no alternative, he temporarily set aside the matter with Dudu and, feeling dejected, left to go spoil Little Gu's family's Shanzhai Monkey.
Lu Wu's research with the Shanzhai Monkey went much smoother than it had with Dudu.
Although the progress in learning Sky Dominating Stick was slower than Skyward Strike, it only took half a day for Lu Wu to easily handle it.
After mastering the skill, Lu Wu took Little Skeleton to a training room to test his hand.
Because last time Lu Wu had tried out Skyward Strike, the top training rooms in Beijing were about to blacklist him.
After all, no one's training rooms can withstand that kind of turmoil.
But Lu Wu was about to head into battle for his district, wasn't he?
Not wanting to hold Lu Wu back, a training field eventually let him in to try out his moves, holding their noses.
When Lu Wu came out of the highest-quality training room half a day later,
The owner had already braced for a complete overhaul. As it turned out, they entered and found the training room spotlessly clean, as if nothing had happened.
This made the owner suspect the true purpose of Lu Wu bringing Little Skeleton and the Loli Bone Dragon to the training field.
If Lu Wu wasn't competing in a couple of days, the owner would likely have called the "police" then and there.
After returning from the training field, Lu Wu took Dudu to the Professional Center headquarters.
After acquiring a batch of items worth a million points, Lu Wu locked himself in the Cultivation Master lab and started to forge equipment.
As Lu Wu was forging his very first piece of equipment,
Elsewhere, at the Summoner Professional Center, Xing Zhanlong received news.
Lu Wu had taken a treasure chest from the Education Bureau's treasury.
"Fox, you've finally shown your hand!"
…
Interlude.
Also, those gentlemen who called out to the senior sister in the last chapter, you know your stuff!!!
