My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 73 - 0 Class A Support Welfare

Lu Wu was just here.

He had just submitted his answers.

Just as he was about to take some time to memorize the test questions for further study, He Tianguang came over and told him that someone wanted to see him.

Lu Wu’s eyes lit up.

Thinking it was Zhao Kai Ming, he quickly called Little Skeleton to join him.

It wouldn’t have been a big deal if Lu Wu hadn’t called for Little Skeleton, but as soon as he did, Little Skeleton, who was standing behind him, got startled, hastily hid his bony hands behind his back, and secured his phone tightly, afraid that Lu Wu would snatch it away.

"Really, like I’d actually steal your phone!"

Lu Wu chuckled and gave Little Skeleton a noogie, taking the chance to check Little Skeleton’s state.

[Nervous (Lu Wu will steal the phone! Lu Wu is a liar, Lu Wu is super bad!)]

Lu Wu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

He hadn’t expected to have such an image in Little Skeleton’s heart.

No, this wouldn’t do; he had to think of a way to correct Little Skeleton’s misguided perception.

He, Lu Wu, was not a liar!

But Lu Wu was in a hurry to follow He Tianguang to meet the big shots and didn’t have time to deal with this; it would have to wait until after meeting those big shots.

The other Cultivation Masters who came with Lu Wu for the assessment watched with envy as He Tianguang took Lu Wu away.

Clearly, the Professional Center had recognized Mr. Lu’s talent.

It seemed like Mr. Lu’s ascent was not far off.

Regarding Lu Wu’s ascent, nearly none of the 89 Non-professional Cultivators present felt jealous. Firstly, they all witnessed Lu Wu’s talents themselves, and secondly, they respected his willingness to share his knowledge generously.

Although they had only been together for half a month, and even though Lu Wu was only 18, the 89 Non-professional Cultivators genuinely regarded Lu Wu as a teacher.

Well, except for one person.

That person, hiding in the crowd, had a flickering gaze as he watched Lu Wu’s receding figure, appearing to ponder something nervously.

"Dean Zhang, Lu Wu has arrived!"

Led by He Tianguang, Lu Wu quickly reached Zhang Wentao’s office.

"Xiao Lu is here? Come on in, come in quickly!"

At this time, Dean Zhang’s office was empty except for himself. As soon as he saw Lu Wu arrive, he warmly greeted him, took Lu Wu’s hand, and ushered him inside.

Lu Wu was a bit startled and somewhat helpless.

Startled because the person was not who he expected, helpless because he didn’t understand why these old men liked to handhold so much – Zhao Kai Ming was like this, and now Zhang Wentao too.

This firm handshake, along with an intense gaze, really put him under pressure!

Considering the other person’s status, and the possibility of an offer coming his way, Lu Wu resisted the urge to withdraw his hand.

Zhang Wentao had no idea what Lu Wu was thinking and thought he was overwhelmed by his enthusiasm.

He quickly squeezed harder, hoping to knock Lu Wu out with his warmth and bring him over to Jiangnan University ahead of time.

Unfortunately for him, Lu Wu didn’t give him the chance.

"Do you need me for something?"

Seeing that Lu Wu wasn’t fazed, Zhang Wentao felt a little disappointed but didn’t dodge the question, getting straight to the point.

"Xiao Lu, you’re a senior in high school this year, right?"

"Yes."

"You’ll be taking the college entrance exam next year; have you decided on a university yet?"

"Not yet."

Lu Wu’s eyes sparkled, "Do you have any recommendations?"

"Cough, what do you think of Jiangnan University?"

"Jiangnan University?"

Lu Wu looked at Zhang Wentao with a questioning gaze.

"Jiangnan University is the best Summoner university in Jiangnan Province and was also, at one time, one of the top ten schools in the East Province Alliance.

The university has top-tier resources like the ’Dragon Island’ Secret Realm and a strong faculty—it’s the best choice for students from Jiangnan!"

"What’s more, Jiangnan University is currently launching a welfare program to support the growth of students from Jiangnan. If you sign a guaranteed admission contract with Jiangnan University now, considering your performance in the assessment, you would be eligible for an A-level support welfare!"

Lu Wu was a bit confused, "Performance in the assessment? A-level support welfare?"

"Yes, the assessment you just took was actually for identifying talented students for the Cultivation department of Jiangnan University.

If you answered 135 questions correctly, you would be eligible for D-level support welfare."

This only made Lu Wu even more puzzled.

"But I only completed 108 questions!"

"That’s because we on our side didn’t do our job properly; we didn’t inform you beforehand, otherwise you would not have turned in your paper so early. If you had gone all out, I believe you definitely could have scored 175 in two hours, reaching the A-level standard!"

Dean Zhang clearly had a lot of faith in Lu Wu, but Lu Wu himself did not.

Before he started, he had reviewed the exam and skimmed through the thousand questions, doing all the ones he knew how to do – it didn’t matter if he had another hour or even ten; Lu Wu knew he definitely couldn’t reach a score of 175.

Well, Lu Wu felt it was necessary to make things clear to Zhang Wentao.

Honesty was a principle for Lu Wu.

But before Lu Wu could say anything, Zhang Wentao preempted him, "The A-level support welfare you would receive includes access to the Professional Center’s internal network, a one-time grant of 500 Internal Network Points, and an ongoing monthly allocation of 50 Internal Network Points for three years.

Additionally, you would get one Divine Origin Fruit and a secret book for training Summoning Beast Skills."

"As for the Internal Network Points, they can be used to purchase items and knowledge or exchanged for money at a rate of 1 to 10,000.

The Divine Origin Fruit can enhance your spiritual power without side effects. After consuming it, your spiritual power should reach the level required to contract a second Summoned Beast.

As for the secret book for training Summoning Beast Skills, there’s no need to explain. Once you access the internal network, you can choose any skill from the library, with Jiangnan University footing the bill."

"Hmm, those are about the A-level support welfare benefits. Oh, and what were you trying to say just now?"

Dean Zhang gave Lu Wu a brief rundown of the A-level support welfare plan.

In that instant, Lu Wu evolved.

He felt that life shouldn’t be constrained by too many rules and principles – they’re just unnecessary shackles.

After all, to grow freely and healthily, one must follow their own path!

So, Lu Wu stood tall and proud, "When do we sign the contract?"

Dean Zhang was taken aback, then quickly recovered, hurriedly handing over the prepared documents for Lu Wu to look over.

While Lu Wu was reading the documents, Zhang Wentao mentioned something else.

"Also, we will not be issuing your professional certificate for this assessment!"

Lu Wu was puzzled, "Why not?"

"That’s because we hope you will participate in a competition for Cultivators organized by the Professional Center’s headquarters next year.

If you can achieve a good ranking as a dark horse in that competition and bring glory to Jiangnan University, you will receive rewards far beyond the A-level support welfare."

Lu Wu’s eyes gleamed and, in a moment of inspiration, he asked, "Do I get rewards if I also achieve a good ranking in the high school league?"
