My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 224 - 221 Dragon Teeth wrapped in Death Energy

Jiangnan University, Treasure Room.

Lu Wu was dumbstruck.

Zhao Kai Ming painted a vivid picture of Jiangnan University's poverty to Lu Wu along the way, describing the university's dire straits.

At the time, Lu Wu didn't feel much.

After all, he had just enrolled and didn't have a deep sense of belonging to Jiangnan University; it was hard for him to empathize.

But arriving at the Treasure Room, Lu Wu suddenly realized emotions are universal.

Looking at the hundreds of square feet that were mostly empty, Lu Wu now fully shared in the university's poverty.

"How come there's only so little stuff?"

What rendered Lu Wu speechless was that when he glanced over the items in the Treasure Room, nine out of ten pieces were Black Iron.

And most seemed to have no known use, appearing to be valueless ornaments just to make up the numbers.

Seeing this situation, Lu Wu was utterly speechless.

You call this treasure? You call this a Treasure Room?

Isn't this just a rubbish collection area?

Zhao Kai Ming quickly tried to pass the buck.

"Ahem, don't look at me, man; it's Old Zhang's fault.

Almost everything in the Treasure Room was sold by him; he's inhuman. He's nearly sold everything our ancestors struggled to accumulate, and to save face, he's filled the place with this junk, but he never considered, who is he kidding with these fakes? We are the only ones who come in here."

Lu Wu could guess what happened even without thinking much about it, and he wasn't interested in the reasons.

"Is this all there is in the Treasure Room?"

"Eh, actually, there are some nice things. What kind of item are you looking for? I can help you find one."

In this regard, Lu Wu had a clear goal.

"I'm looking for materials; I mainly want to upgrade Little Skeleton's phone. Right now, it can only hold four minions, which is too few."

Zhao Kai Ming's face twitched involuntarily.

Mom sell batch, a phone that can hold four minions, and that's considered too few? Not satisfied?

Of course, it wasn't enough. Lu Wu had recently been investigating the evolution of Little Skeleton.

He felt that the talent within Little Skeleton's Awakening might be a breakthrough, but that talent only activated once during Pei Qi No.1's Fusion Evolution, and even then, only 10%.

Therefore, Lu Wu felt that he had to expand Little Skeleton's capacity to at least ten slots, and naturally, the more, the better.

Everything was for the sake of Little Skeleton.

Of course, when it came time to verbalize it, Lu Wu had his own way.

"If we can find the right materials in the Treasure Room to upgrade Little Skeleton's phone, and its minions could increase by a hundred or eighty, then we would basically cruise through the university competition."

Zhao Kai Ming's eyes lit up as soon as Lu Wu mentioned this.

He completely forgot about the task given by Zhang Wentao before they left, to dupe Lu Wu with something of Silver Quality.

"Come on, come on; I know Old Zhang has stored a batch of good stuff he's too stingy to sell or use. I'll show you!"

Zhao Kai Ming said as he pulled Lu Wu deeper into the Treasure Room, stopping in front of a wall.

"I remember it's here; I secretly watched Old Zhang mess around with this wall before. Just give me a second!

There's got to be some sort of mechanism here."

As he spoke, Zhao Kai Ming began to examine the wall closely.

"Got it, right here!"

Zhao Kai Ming pressed on a corner of the wall, and then a grating alarm sounded.

Well, the scene was quite awkward.

Fortunately, the alarm was sudden and just as quickly ceased.

In a matter of minutes, the alarm stopped, and a gate in front of Lu Wu and Zhao Kai Ming opened.

"Huh, it really opened? I told you it was this spot!"

Zhao Kai Ming stood, hands on hips, while Lu Wu shook his head.

It was clear that Zhang Wentao had opened the door for them, and Lu Wu could already foresee the rough time Zhao Kai Ming would have when he returned to see Zhang Wentao; probably his dark circles would deepen.

Thinking of this, Lu Wu felt a tad guilty.

But this didn't affect Lu Wu's determination to walk through the gate. After all, the enhancement of Little Skeleton's power was the most important thing!

Entering the Treasure Room's gate revealed a secret chamber of less than twenty square feet.

Inside, there was a simple shelf with a lonely placement of five items. Lu Wu swept his gaze over them, and their attributes appeared before him.

...

Name: ???

Quality: ???

Effect: ???

Description: ??? Err, wait, this shouldn't be a question mark.

But the screen is full of question marks already, what more do you want me to describe?

...

Five items, almost all marked with question marks.

It was clear that these were the last bits of Jiangnan University's assets.

Lu Wu was sure that right now, Zhang Wentao must be watching with bated breath as he made his choices.

Honestly, imagining an old man watching him pitifully through surveillance, Lu Wu was indeed hesitant to proceed.

So, Lu Wu could only try not to think about Zhang Wentao watching.

If he didn't think about it, it wouldn't be awkward!

There was no helping it; Little Skeleton was the most important.

Old Zhang could let his blood be drawn if he wanted to, as agreeing to enter the treasury was also something he consented to.

So, Lu Wu wasn't troubled about whether or not to take something. What bothered him was, with all the items being question marks, which one should he actually take?

Which one would be useful for Little Skeleton's phone?

That was the question, but figuring it out wasn't difficult.

He had a cheat.

He directly used the "Item Effect Validation" function to verify each item, asking which one could help to enhance the quality of Little Skeleton's phone.

After going through each one, among the five items, only one was useful for improving the quality of Little Skeleton's phone.

It was an especially large tooth-like object.

"What's this?"

Curious, Lu Wu picked it up.

"This?" Zhao Kai Ming stepped forward and examined it carefully. "This should be a Dragon Tooth?"

"Dragon Tooth?"

"Yep!" Zhao Kai Ming nodded. "Doesn't our Jiangnan University have a Secret Realm on Dragon Island? This must be obtained from exploring the Dragon Island Secret Realm. A Dragon Tooth that can be placed here is likely from a dragon above a Lord in rank; its quality should be around Gold to King-level."

Saying this, Zhao Kai Ming paused, looked around to make sure no one and no surveillance was present, then continued with Lu Wu.

"Although the dragons from the Dragon Cave are Western Dragons, their materials are quite valuable. They're good for cultivation or making equipment and props, very popular. This one that's left until now and not sold by Old Zhang might have some issue.

Why don't you find something else? The one in the middle looks quite valuable. You could take it back to see if it's useful. If not, sell it and exchange for material you can use. Anyway, the stuff here, if you don't sell it, Old Zhang will eventually."

While Zhao Kai Ming said this, back in the office, Zhang Wentao's teeth were grinding fiercely.

Of course, all of this was unknown to Lu Wu and Zhao Kai Ming. At this moment, Lu Wu's gaze was fixed on the Dragon Tooth.

With Zhao Kai Ming's explanation, the attributes of the Dragon Tooth in Lu Wu's hand had changed.

...…

Name: Dragon Tooth Enveloped by Death Energy

Quality: King-level (Suspect)

Effect: Has a certain effect on upgrading Little Skeleton's phone.

Description: There seems to be a slight problem with this item—it appears to have heavy death energy. However, it doesn't seem to affect Little Skeleton too much.

...…

Having seen this, Lu Wu didn't hesitate any further.

"This'll do! It looks good, very suitable for me."

With that, Lu Wu tried to pick up the Dragon Tooth, which was the size of his arm, only to discover he couldn't lift it.

"This thing is quite heavy."

He had no choice but to let Little Skeleton carry it.

With the Dragon Tooth collected, Lu Wu's visit to the treasure repository was at an end.

Seeing that Lu Wu was taking the Dragon Tooth, Zhang Wentao breathed a sigh of relief, muttering "good kid" to himself several times.

At the same time, Zhang Wentao pulled out the research data on the Dragon Tooth and sent it to Lu Wu.

As for Lu Wu, after acquiring the Dragon Tooth, he had Zhao Kai Ming escort him to the library.

"Are you going to read books?"

Lu Wu shook his head: "No, I'm going to move the library."

Zhao Kai Ming didn't understand what Lu Wu meant at first, thinking he was joking. It wasn't until they arrived at the library that Zhao Kai Ming realized Lu Wu wasn't kidding; he was indeed there to move the library.

Of course, Lu Wu wasn't there to move books.

That kind of silly task wasn't for Lu Wu!

Times had changed. The library's books were indeed available in hard copy, but there were also electronic versions.

Lu Wu, wanting to move the library, naturally wasn't going to move the hard copies.

He went to the library, contacted the staff directly, took out Little Skeleton's phone, and asked the staff to copy all the electronic books from the library onto Little Skeleton's phone.

The staff members were baffled at the moment.

Jiangnan University's electronic library was huge, with not only text but also various images and videos. Could this tiny phone really fit it all?

Wouldn't it burst?

It turned out that Little Skeleton's phone was indeed capable of fitting the entire Jiangnan University electronic library.

After all, this phone was a Silver Level piece of Equipment. Such equipment could contain pigs and skeletons, let alone an electronic library.

It took a bit long though—four whole hours to get the electronic library loaded into Little Skeleton's phone.

After it was done, Little Skeleton's phone ran a bit slower.

Of course, the slight slowness wasn't noticeable to Lu Wu, but Little Skeleton could feel it.

It really felt its phone had slowed down, which upset Little Skeleton tremendously.

The little guy clutched the overused phone tightly to its chest.

Annoyed (Lu Wu sure was going to be bad again, Little Skeleton would never lend its phone to Lu Wu again.)

Yeah, clearly Little Skeleton hadn't realized the severity of the problem.

Lu Wu had loaded all the Jiangnan University library data, as well as all the information he had purchased from the internal network in recent times, onto Little Skeleton's phone.

What did that mean?

It meant that Lu Wu had set his sights on Little Skeleton's phone.

From now on, Little Skeleton's phone was going to become Lu Wu's data machine, his library. And with Lu Wu's attitude towards studying, the time Little Skeleton could play with the phone would probably be limited to the hours when Lu Wu was asleep.
