Chapter 244: 241 Little Skeleton Quality Upgrade

Since the old man’s blast had wiped out Lu Wu’s house,

his Cultivation Room had now been relocated to Jiangnan University.

After all, there were many research institutes around here, and Lu Wu had randomly picked one to refurbish.

It took about 7 days and a total of 120,000 points to fix up, but it turned out to be quite impressive.

The day it was finished, the neighbors from Lu Wu’s house came to gawk.

These Jiangnan University professors visited Lu Wu’s lab, all of them marveled like poor neighbors on a door-to-door visit.

They were green with envy.

Some even made not-so-subtle comments about the school’s delayed research funding.

Their intentions were somewhat clear, having heard about the school’s recent windfall of tens of millions.

Although everyone knew where that money came from, it didn’t stop some from wanting to improve their own research environment.

Of course, Lu Wu wasn’t very aware of this.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

When the professors were visiting, he was busy preparing for the final repairs of Little Skeleton’s phone and wasn’t present; by the time Lu Wu was there, the repair and enhancement work had already begun.

The professors had also left.

Now in the spacious Cultivation Room, only Lu Wu, Dudu, and the old man remained.

Lu Wu was busy with repairs and enhancements, Dudu was busy trying to stop Tuantuan from jumping into the pot, and the old man was eyeing Lu Wu, pondering whether to coax him into giving him a chance too.

As for the Skeleton in question, Little Skeleton was lying comfortably in the pot, soaking in a bath.

With arms spread and resting on the edge of the pot, Little Skeleton tilted its skull with its Pupil Fire flickering.

If this were an anime scene,

Lu Wu would be able to see two blushes on Little Skeleton’s cheeks, and its eyes closed, the entire skeleton would look extra cute and soft.

But unfortunately, this wasn’t anime, and Lu Wu didn’t enjoy seeing Little Skeleton like this.

“Get your hands into the soup, and also, put your head down.”

Fear (No, the fire in Little Skeleton’s skull will go out, Little Skeleton will die!)

“Bullshit, that’s Soul Fire, it can’t go out, get your head down!”

Lu Wu, wielding a stick, forcefully pushed Little Skeleton down, scaring it quite a bit.

Fear (It’s over, Little Skeleton is done for, bad Lu Wu is going to stew Little Skeleton for Tuantuan!)

Not to mention, the skeleton was quite strong, and Lu Wu couldn’t push it down with the stick, so he had no choice but to resort to his ultimate trick.

“Can’t get down? If you don’t, I won’t repair Little Skeleton’s phone, and I won’t be nice to Little Skeleton anymore.”

Resentful (Don’t not fix the phone, Lu Wu.)

Reacting to this, Little Skeleton obediently crouched down in the pot, and once inside, it felt even happier.

Happy (Great, Little Skeleton’s fire didn’t go out!)

But this state of affairs made Lu Wu unhappy.

“Just now you called me bad Lu Wu and begged me not to fix the phone, but you didn’t ask me not to be nice to Little Skeleton anymore, does that mean you don’t like Lu Wu anymore?”

Proud (Lu Wu won’t stop being nice to Little Skeleton, Lu Wu likes Little Skeleton the most!)

“Show-off!”

Lu Wu quirked his mouth, giving the little guy a tap on the skull with the stick that was neither too light nor too heavy.

Then his voice softened significantly, “How is it, is the water temperature okay? Comfortable?”

Happy (Comfortable!)

Little Skeleton even started to shake in the pot.

Seeing that it didn’t seem to have any adverse reactions, Lu Wu sighed in relief but still gave it a precautionary warning.

“I’m stewing you today without a lid, so if you start to feel uncomfortable, don’t jump out, okay? If you do jump out, the phone can’t be fixed!”

Serious (Little Skeleton understood and wouldn’t jump out.)

“What a good boy!”

Using a stick to stroke the little guy’s head in place of a hand, Lu Wu then shifted his attention from Little Skeleton to the phone beside it.

From the moment Little Skeleton and its phone were thrown into the pot,

the state of Little Skeleton’s phone remained very stable, absorbing the pot’s energy at a steady pace.

“The first phase of energy absorption is quite good, very stable. Some of the internal parts of the phone that were on standby due to damage are also starting to revive, and there’s also that power coming from ‘War Soul Tablet,’ which is still holding steady for now.”

Overall, Lu Wu was quite satisfied with this phase.

However, it wasn’t yet time for Lu Wu to start the repair.

The parts inside the phone hadn’t been fully activated. It was very easy for problems to occur during repairs at this stage, so Lu Wu needed to wait another half hour.

During the half-hour wait, Lu Wu also started to chat with Little Skeleton.

Asking how Little Skeleton’s recent training was going.

Well, ever since Little Skeleton’s phone broke, in order to please its good owner Lu Wu and get him to help fix its phone, it had been training daily with Han.

Showing the kind of behavior a good skeleton should exhibit.

Of course, Lu Wu was aware of how Little Skeleton’s training was going.

After all, he could see the attribute panel, and Lu Wu knew every bit of Little Skeleton’s progress.

He was aware that Little Skeleton had recently focused its training on the skills “Bone Teeth,” “Bone Spear,” “Bone Shield,” and “Bone Prison.”

In fact, the training plan for Little Skeleton was designed by Lu Wu.

Since Lu Wu obtained that “Dragon Teeth wrapped in Death Energy,” he had been letting Little Skeleton use the Dragon Teeth as a model to practice these magic skills.

During this time, Lu Wu paid close attention to Little Skeleton’s progress and could say he understood the situation even better than Little Skeleton itself.

At this time, his intention in discussing this with Little Skeleton was to get it to focus its attention on this matter.

During a quality enhancement process like the one Little Skeleton was going through, if it could concentrate on a specific aspect, there was a high probability of achieving additional gains during the quality enhancement.

This was exactly Lu Wu’s idea.

And at this moment, Little Skeleton, soaking in the soup, particularly enjoyed chatting with Lu Wu.

Or perhaps it’s better to say that Little Skeleton always enjoyed interacting with Lu Wu.

But this guy, Lu Wu, typically spent more than 14 out of 24 hours studying, with the rest of the time spent sleeping.

Although Little Skeleton was in constant companionship with Lu Wu, there weren’t many real opportunities for communication.

Now, at last, there was a chance to relax and converse with Lu Wu, and Little Skeleton couldn’t be happier.

It was particularly talkative.

As soon as Lu Wu tossed out a topic, Little Skeleton started chattering nonstop.

Starting with how it trained and what improvements it had made,

it spoke animatedly and with great enthusiasm.

Of course, there were also things that dampened Little Skeleton’s spirits.

The most upsetting thing for Little Skeleton was the realization that it seemed to have become much less useful.

There were many little companions it couldn’t beat anymore.

Tuantuan, who had never participated in training before, recently started joining in, but each session was brief. His goal was quite clear: beat up Little Skeleton and then leave.

Han used to be unable to defeat Little Skeleton as well.

Now, it had become so powerful that Little Skeleton couldn’t beat it.

As for the little goldfish, there’s no need to mention it. It’s tough at home and even tougher outside.

As Little Skeleton muttered this, he suddenly became dejected.

(Dejected—Little Skeleton knew that Lu Wu loved a capable Little Skeleton the most. If Little Skeleton wasn’t capable, would Lu Wu still like him?)

This was the first time Lu Wu had seen the little guy like this.

Normally, this was when Lu Wu was supposed to comfort the little guy.

But considering that it was in the midst of a quality enhancement, Lu Wu felt he should provoke the little guy rather than comfort it.

Give it a sense of crisis.

“Yeah, Lu Wu likes a capable Little Skeleton.

If Little Skeleton can’t do anything and plays with his phone every day without training, then Lu Wu won’t like him anymore.”

Lu Wu said this with utmost seriousness, scaring Little Skeleton, who had never seen Lu Wu so serious about not liking him before.

(Alarmed—Actually, Little Skeleton is still very capable. Little Skeleton will train hard and become strong quickly. Lu Wu, please don’t stop liking Little Skeleton!)

Lu Wu pushed a little harder: “What if you can’t become stronger?”

Little Skeleton pondered for a moment, then suddenly, his Pupil Fire sparked.

(Sly—Little Skeleton can cover Lu Wu with a blanket, can pour water for Lu Wu, and can even warm Lu Wu’s bed. Little Skeleton is learning to cook, too.

Lu Wu, can you not like Dudu so much? I can do everything Dudu does.

It’s enough for Lu Wu to like just Little Skeleton!)

Lu Wu was stunned by this sudden outburst.

He thought the skeleton was going to strive harder, but it turned out it was trying to steal Dudu’s business.

“That doesn’t make you capable; you can’t do that!”

Torn between laughter and tears, Lu Wu gave the little guy a knock on the head: “You’re not like Dudu; you need to become stronger to be capable!

A Little Skeleton that doesn’t become stronger can’t do anything!”

With that knock on the head from Lu Wu, Little Skeleton’s mood brightened, and he even became a bit smug.

The little guy was getting smarter every day.

Just now, it was scared stiff by Lu Wu, but as soon as Lu Wu’s torn laughter came out, Little Skeleton knew Lu Wu was just teasing him.

Lu Wu wouldn’t abandon him.

His smugness made Lu Wu’s teeth itch.

Sigh, Little Skeleton was growing up, his brain was getting sharper, no longer so easy to fool!

But Lu Wu didn’t give up—if hard tactics didn’t work, he’d switch to soft ones.

“Little Skeleton, Lu Wu really isn’t going to abandon you, but you don’t like being bullied by Tuantuan every day, do you?

And don’t you want to defeat Han again?”

“Also, do you remember how your phone broke, Little Skeleton?”

“Do you remember the last time I was beaten by a fake Little Skeleton? I even vomited blood.”

Hearing this, Little Skeleton immediately stopped being smug.

Lu Wu seized the moment: “What caused all this? What is wrong? Is it the world?”

“Not right, the reason for all this is because Little Skeleton isn’t strong enough!”

“If Little Skeleton were powerful enough, he wouldn’t have been bullied by Tuantuan, his phone wouldn’t have broken, and Lu Wu wouldn’t have been hurt by the broken Little Skeleton until he vomited blood.”

“So Little Skeleton, become stronger!”

“Become so strong that you make the world tremble! Only then can you protect the phone, protect Lu Wu!”

It had to be said, Lu Wuyi really knew how to handle Little Skeleton.

With Lu Wu’s final call to arms, Little Skeleton’s emotions were instantly stirred up.

Determined (Little Skeleton must get stronger, must protect Lu Wu, must guard Little Skeleton’s phone!)

Lu Wu had timed it just right, just as he had managed to play Little Skeleton, the phone nearby had absorbed enough energy.

Seizing this chance, Lu Wu tossed the critical ingredient, “Dragon Teeth,” into the boiling mixture.

As soon as the “Dragon Teeth” hit the pot, the temperature of the flames below began to rise violently.

Lu Wu immediately used the “Hammering Hand,” drawing the Death Energy from the “Dragon Teeth.”

At once, the entire pot’s contents reacted violently.

As though it was about to boil over.

At the same time, Little Skeleton, who had been comfortable before, began to feel pain.

It was a bone-chilling cold, a pain from the Soul Fire to his bones that Little Skeleton had never experienced before.

But now, Lu Wu could only let Little Skeleton endure.

He needed to repair the phone.

As the Death Energy from the “Dragon Teeth” erupted, Lu Wu’s arm crackled with electricity, the Energy of lightning softening the prepared Dragon Teeth.

Then he infused the essence of the Dragon Teeth into Little Skeleton’s phone.

With the essence of the Dragon Teeth entering, Little Skeleton’s phone began to strengthen, the “War Stele”‘s energy inside was activated, and, fortuitously, Lu Wu was prepared, instantly using the “Suppressing Order.”

The two forces dissolved, leaving only slight remnants.

Lu Wu could have easily dealt with these remnants, but after some thought, he decided to merge this remaining energy into Little Skeleton’s phone.

Then, under the influence of the “Hammering Hand.”

Little Skeleton’s phone, the “Dragon Teeth,” and the entire pot’s concoction began to fuse.

Before Lu Wu’s energy ran out in the nick of time, he managed to complete the repair. Once the phone was fixed, Lu Wu had nothing more to do; the phone would strengthen itself.

It was then that Lu Wu turned his attention back to Little Skeleton.

Seeing that Little Skeleton was still enveloped in pain, Lu Wu didn’t hesitate to use his only available Summoner Talent.

He established a Damage Sharing connection between himself and Little Skeleton.

Once the link was established, Little Skeleton, who had been suffering, found the pain had lessened.

Upon closer inspection, Little Skeleton roughly understood what had happened, the Pupil Fire within the pot flickered.

The skeletal frame opened wide and began to voraciously devour and absorb the energy in the pot.

Entering the phase of Quality enhancement.

Little Skeleton fell into a deep sleep.

More than five hours later, when Little Skeleton woke up from the deep slumber.

Little Skeleton found that it seemed ready to kick ass again!
