"Indeed, everyone envies you for having such a great companion like Mao Mao!" Liu Ming praised, "Unfortunately, we've yet to discover a second player in the entire world, besides you, who has successfully owned a pet; the information you asked me to find is completely blank."
"Huh? Why is that?"
Lu Wenwu placed Xiaobao on his head, bent down, and hugged the eager golden retriever in his arms.
"The difficulty is too high. Those lucky enough to enter with a pet candidate player couldn't survive the initial dungeon." Liu Ming explained, "Only a few pets are as spiritually endowed as Mao Mao; you can't expect normal pets to have Mao Mao's intelligence."
"I thought it was pretty easy..." Lu Wenwu mumbled to himself.
Easy... my foot!
That must be easy for a big shot like you!
Liu Ming's face stiffened, his mind roaring, pretending he didn't hear and swiftly changing the subject.
"So anyway, the food... the food truck you ordered is ready. Should I deliver it to the warehouse for you or...?"
"It's ready?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Wenwu's eyes lit up and he strode outside.
"No need, I'll just put it directly into my backpack."
He's long wanted an egg pancake truck similar to those street food trucks in the United States, basically a mobile kitchen, very convenient.
Now that the opportunity has arisen, he asked Liu Ming to help custom-make one.
No need for a power system or wheels; it's more like a combination of an RV and a food truck.
You can cook and rest in it, it's quite nice.
Yes, it doesn't even have wheels.
Instead, it has a circle of fixed stakes like a tent.
"Into the backpack?" Liu Ming was shocked, "That thing is twelve meters long and over three meters high, its outer shell specially constructed from alloy as per your request. Counting all the miscellaneous machinery, furnishings, food, and kitchenware inside, it weighs at least ten tons!"
Although Liu Ming is not a player, he knows the system backpack only allows items that the player can physically lift to be stored.
Otherwise, if I stack eighty tons of rocks, I could dump them on a boss to instantly win low-level encounters, wouldn't I?
The system naturally prevents bug exploits.
And a typical D Tier player...
Even a veteran who has been at this stage for years would struggle to lift more than a ton.
And they'd need an extreme all-power attribute allocation, plus skills and equipment amplifications.
"Mere ten tons, it's no big deal."
Lu Wenwu smiled slightly, touched the army green vehicle body, and the massive food truck vanished instantly.
With his current attribute of 312.34 {Body}, even purely physical strength would make dragging twenty-plus tons easy.
If he stimulates Qi Blood and cultivation techniques to amplify his body, multiplying his power is no problem.
Moving this big guy is not difficult for Lu Wenwu.
"Wow... In terms of power alone, not many C+ level players who have cultivated can match you." Liu Ming marveled at Lu Wenwu's extraordinary strength, "By the way, don't forget the advanced trials, the mandatory date is approaching."
"Mm, I'll rest in the afternoon and leave tomorrow." Lu Wenwu said, "I'll still need you to take care of Xiaobao then."
Liu Ming pondered his experiences over the past two days, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I think... it might not need my care. It can fetch its own water, open its food container to eat cat food and fish snacks on its own. Besides..."
Peeking inside, Liu Ming continued quietly, "Moreover... I always feel like Xiaobao looks at me with disdain, as if it despises me..."
"Hahaha... That's perfectly normal." Lu Wenwu laughed heartily, "What's the big deal, acting as if it looks down on me and Mao Mao too. You haven't raised a cat, so you don't know, regardless of wealth or poverty, strength or weakness, kittens view everyone equally with contempt."
Liu Ming: "..."
Sure enough, I'm still a steadfast dog lover; I can't quite grasp what's in the hearts of you cat people.
Is it that the angelic Samoyed isn't warm anymore or the cute golden Mao Mao isn't loveable enough?
After bidding farewell to the somewhat existential Liu Ming, Lu Wenwu familiarized himself briefly with his new food truck.
The food, kitchenware, bedding, etc., were all prepared by the officials, so there's nothing to prepare.
Lu Wenwu decided to give himself a break.
After brewing a small jar of sauce, he took Mao Mao, boarded a public hovercar, and returned to the old neighborhood where he'd lived for years to sell egg pancakes.
No man can resist the allure of a new toy, even one with an "Unbelievable" rating like the Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God!
Today is destined to be a day of celebration for the "Brother Wu's Black Hunger Force" gang.
Excluding the employed wage slaves and dungeon-going players.
...
The next day.
Having prepared everything, Lu Wenwu donned his combat armor, amidst Xiaobao's extremely resentful gaze, confidently choosing to start the advanced trial.
{Matching in progress}
{You have initiated the advanced trial. The dungeon difficulty will be greatly increased this time.}
{Pet detected, your dungeon difficulty range is rising.}
{Match successful}
{Dungeon: Back to the Peak}
{Description: Do you miss the peak period of your own knowledge reserves of yore? That carefree ease of being able to quote formulas, foreign languages, whether it's astronomy up high or geography down low, has it made you yearn? Congratulations, you have a chance to do it all again. As a senior high school student, strive to shine in the otherworldly high school joint exam with your brilliance!}
{Player count: 30}
{Main mission: Achieve a rating of [Pass] or above in all subjects of the otherworldly high school joint exam, and survive to the end}
{Current assimilation rate: 0}
{Dungeon level: C}
{Time flow rate: 10:1}
{Note: This is a special dungeon, your skills, cultivation techniques, cultivation technique amplification, backpack, remaining free attribute points, and spirit coins will be sealed.}
{Warning: Within this dungeon, players cannot acquire teacher qualifications by any means, please refrain from making any radical moves.}
As he came to his senses, Lu Wenwu found himself at the gates of a school.
It was morning, seemingly before school starts, and everything around was quiet.
The personal panel constantly refreshed with lines of dungeon information.
{Task hint: Find your class before morning study and integrate yourself}
What the actual otherworld joint exam!
I transcended dimensions and still have to study and take exams, huh?
Lu Wenwu's originally calm expression suddenly became a little strange.
Upon seeing the hint at the bottom, he immediately sensed his own condition.
His already slightly odd expression became even stranger.
No way?
What about the sealed cultivation techniques and skills?
Lu Wenwu fell into deep thought.
Not only were his over three hundred attribute points intact, but as long as he wished, he could still manually trigger the Military Killing Fist and Military Martial Arts.
The Shadow Step was a bit of a stretch, clearly, Lu Wenwu's talent wasn't invested in this area.
Could it be because these fall under the realm of "knowledge" and "experience," and the Influence Body Refining Skill directly affects the body so couldn't be sealed?
While Lu Wenwu silently pondered all these, players entering the dungeon with him were clearly not as calm.
