This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Chapter 480 388: Grandpa's Gift (Part 2)

As long as those oblivious beasts destroy even one crop, they will trigger No. 1's protection program and immediately come out to deal with them.

So, it's said, he had a habit of exploiting bugs since childhood.

[Okay, estimated time is 10 minutes]

Since it's freshly made curry rice, preparation time is needed.

No. 1 bowed and left directly.

Anyway, there's an audio calling system all over the facility, so it can come over anytime as long as Li Pu speaks.

After No. 1 left, the first thing Li Pu did was prepare for a bath.

Maybe to make the place feel more like a regular home, the living area wasn't as highly intelligent as the outside.

Filling the water required some preparation time, so after turning on the valve, he went to his grandfather's room.

Click.

He pushed open the door and reached out to press the light switch.

The room was very tidy, thanks to No. 1.

On grandfather's bed, the quilt was neatly folded, indicating no one was there.

"Where did the old guy run off to?"

Li Pu scanned the room and walked over to the wall near the bed.

Grandfather's room had a special setup, with one wall covered in fire extinguishers.

He took one down from near the headboard and shook it, finding it still full, unused.

"Feels like he's on a long trip,"

Li Pu immediately concluded.

If grandfather had been staying at the facility lately, the fire extinguisher would have been empty.

He wasn't surprised by this at all.

Because besides bullying him, grandfather's biggest hobby was traveling.

Perhaps he was too bored alone while Li Pu was at school, so he chose to go on a trip, which wasn't strange.

"If he's not here, he's not here. Who cares,"

Li Pu didn't think much about it. After eating the food delivered by No. 1, he relaxed into a bath.

The fatigue from travel washed away, and the comfy water temperature gradually relaxed his body...

Before long, he felt his eyelids grow heavy and ended up sleeping right there in the bath.

He didn't know how much time had passed when suddenly a familiar call awoke him.

[Hou Bo! Hou Bo! Hou Bo Bo!]

He opened his eyes and found Chou Bo nudging his face with its head.

"How did you get in here?"

Li Pu was taken aback, then quickly realized.

This guy had the Spiritual Essence and could pass through the facility walls completely.

It only needed Telepathy to determine his location, allowing for an easy find.

[Hou Bo, Hou Bo, Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo!]

Upon seeing Li Pu awake, the little wolf started chattering away.

It spoke so fast it forgot to mimic a wolf's howl, leaving only "bo" sounds.

"Hahaha, got trapped, did you? Serves you right."

Li Pu laughed out loud as he listened.

It turns out that the scarecrow wandered around recklessly and triggered something in some room, leaving it trapped.

Since it was afraid of being bashed by the Summoner, it didn't dare to break the walls and had to seek help from Bu Bu and the little wolf.

Both summons had no way against the airtight metal walls. Finally, Bu Bu had a clever idea to send the little wolf through to find Li Pu.

"Never a dull moment, is there."

Still, Li Pu eventually had no choice. He couldn't really let the scarecrow remain trapped there, so he got up from the tub.

[Hou Bo!]

Chou Bo: A monster! There's a monster hidden here!

Li Pu kicked Chou Bo aside, wrapped a towel around himself, and called for No. 1.

Guided by Telepathy, he directed No. 1 to find the most convenient route.

"No wonder it's trapped, the inner room seems to be the old man's lab."

Arriving at the sealed door, Li Pu suddenly understood.

He heard his grandfather was a researcher in his younger days, evidenced by making the facility his home.

But once aged, he lost interest in research and only loved traveling.

So this lab wasn't used for research for a long time.

He was curious when young and peeked inside; it was filled with grandfather's travel souvenirs, like a deer skull with a horned cone in the forehead, a winged tiger plaque, a flower-headed fish specimen, and other oddities.

"Hold on."

But thinking back to this, Li Pu had a sudden realization.

Before, in his eyes, these things were all strange and scary junk.

But now it's different!

They could very likely be monster-related items!

The thought fired him up.

So he quickly opened the door in front of him.

[Grass!]

Scarecrow: Summoner! You've come at last!

Facing the scarecrow leaping towards him, Li Pu sidestepped it.

"Don't get in the way, I'm arranging benefits for you."

Now, his attention was solely on the door to the inner room.

This door and its wall were different from the rest; they were golden.

The scarecrow was drawn by curiosity about this golden place and ventured in to get stuck.

"Just as I thought, it's that gold door."

Li Pu's mood turned a bit excited as he reached to push the gold door open.

But reality splashed cold water on him.

He had forgotten that only grandfather had the permission to open this room.

"No. 1, can you open the door?"

After a few futile tries, Li Pu had to turn to the robot.

[Sorry, the heir does not have door opening permissions]

Boom!

Li Pu kicked the door open.

[Apologies, No. 1 will conduct maintenance shortly]

Sadly, the robot did not show any surprise, even though this door wasn't just any door.

Not just the door, but the entire golden room was crafted from special otherworldly metal.

It had an exceptionally strong resistance to summon/monster attacks; even if the scarecrow tried, without using [Godzilla's Power], it couldn't open it.

But unfortunately, right now Li Pu definitely counted as a person.

A bona fide human, definitely not a summon/monster.

No longer paying mind to the robot, he eagerly stepped inside.

As expected, it matched his memories.

Deer skull, tiger skin, odd fish—all were present.

Various items, large and small, easily over a dozen.

And since he wasn't a Summoner back then, he couldn't perceive the aura remaining on these souvenirs.

Now, upon closely sensing them, he suspected not one of these items had an original owner of B-grade or lower.

There didn't seem to be any S-grade ones, possibly because grandfather kept the most valuable ones with him.

Still, whether or not they were related items, they were at least top-notch materials.

He crouched down to touch the tiger skin nearest him.

Information on the related item immediately fed back into his mind.

[LV1 - Wings of Freedom (A)] 103/100

Passive Effect: Immunity to restraints

Attribute Requirement: 1~10 Wind

Type Requirement: Gale Chaser

Race Requirement: Sky Tiger type

With this, the scarecrow wouldn't have to worry about being devoured by Bu Bu anymore.

"Couldn't be any better."

After browsing the information, Li Pu broke into a broad grin.

In this, he was truly in luck!

Since he was already called the heir, when grandfather eventually passed, wouldn't these things belong to him?

In that case, taking ownership ahead of time wasn't a problem, was it?

Even if it was, couldn't he just run away?

He even imagined in his head a plan for running away on New Year's Eve.

"Everything here is a mess. I need to tidy it up."

"If grandfather knew how considerate I am, he should be comforted too."

In a flash, Li Pu cleaned out the whole room.

As the saying goes, day defense and night defense, but preventing a home thief is the hardest.

Especially when this home thief grows so fast; in just one school term, he had gained the ability to break in.

"If I'm not mistaken, there seem to be several more private spaces here…"

Chin in hand, Li Pu pondered.

But just then, he suddenly felt the ground shake.

Bam!!!!

It felt as if something heavy landed outside the research facility door.

"What the hell, is there an alarm system here?!"

"Back so soon?!"

Normally composed, he now showed a look of panic.

No helping it, he felt guilty.
