Chapter 10: Mini Skeleton Training Guide 2.0
Time flew by, and before Lu Wu knew it, six days had passed since his arrival in the new world.
These six days had been incredibly fulfilling, and he had made significant progress.
In terms of studying, Lu Wu had successfully covered the textbooks for his freshman and sophomore years. With his photographic memory, he had memorized most of the essential content, and his understanding of the subjects had improved accordingly.
While he might not reach the level of top students, he was confident that he could perform well above average. With further review, achieving excellent grades wouldn't be too difficult.
On the summoning front, Lu Wu had spent almost every day in the library, staying until 8 or 9 in the evening.
He wasn't wasting his time; over the past five to six days, he had read dozens of relevant books.
Among these books, aside from the introductory ones on the first day and some random ones like 'On the Possibility of Summon Cat-Eared Beast Maidens,' the rest were primarily encyclopedic and informative about summoned beasts.
Titles like 'Introduction to 100 Common Summon Beasts,' 'Advanced Paths for 100 Common Summon Beasts,' 'Cultivation Methods for Common Necromantic Summoned Beasts,' and 'Introduction to 200 Summon Beast-Related Materials' were among those he read.
Lu Wu had focused on these types of books during these days.
Of course, if given a choice, Lu Wu wouldn't have picked these books.
He wanted to read about Summon Beast Breeders, as he now knew that this was the perfect match for his Golden Finger Trait.
Unfortunately, his high school didn't offer such a course, and their library lacked books on the subject.
Lu Wu had no choice but to rely on the information he gathered from books and the internet, which described Summon Beast Breeders as the most powerful weapon for a Summoner.
He started with the most basic content to enrich his knowledge before considering other options.
And the results proved that Lu Wu's approach was effective.
The impact of his studies soon became evident through his Golden Finger Trait.
With the knowledge gained from these books, Lu Wu repeatedly modified the quality enhancement plan for the Mini Skeleton over several days. Now, the plan had evolved to version 2.0.
However, when it came to this plan, Lu Wu couldn't help but feel frustrated with the system's sarcastic remarks.
The system had been relentless in its criticism, saying things like, "Look at this plan, thank goodness your intelligence has finally grown. You're probably at a three-and-a-half-year-old's level now. But unfortunately, your plan is no better than the previous version."
"Is that all you've got? Can't you be a bit more innovative? Why not focus more on energy absorption?"
"Are you sure this plan isn't inspired by your childhood sweetheart's Summon Pig? It's quite a wise approach, I must say. Considering your wisdom, the system sincerely suggests you pay more attention to energy absorption."
Lu Wu submitted the plan five times, and each time, the system rejected it with its sarcastic comments. Three of these attempts were rejected, and it took him five days to evolve the plan from version 1.0 to 2.0.
Lu Wu's heart nearly exploded from the system's constant rejections.
However, he had to admit that the system wasn't just being sarcastic; it did offer some constructive suggestions.
Along with its sarcasm, the system provided guidance on modifying the plan, which, combined with Lu Wu's studies, led to the completion of version 2.0.

Quality Enhancement Plan: Mini Skeleton Training Guide 2.0
Specific Steps: 10,000 grams of cow bone powder, 20,000 grams of cow blood. First, mix the cow bone powder with an appropriate amount of water, heat it to make a soup, and bring it to a boil. Turn off the heat, add the mini skeleton and cow blood, and let it simmer for one hour. Afterward, engage in three to five hours of exercise.
The plan's effect: Each time, it significantly improves the mini skeleton's bone strength and resilience, enhances its bone coordination, and increases its depth.
Time required for quality upgrade: 5 times (with an interval of 6 to 10 days each, estimated time needed is 30 to 50 days).
...
Yes, this is the 2.0 version of the Mini Skeleton Training Guide.
As soon as this version was released, the sarcastic remarks and blows Lu Wu had endured in recent days dissipated instantly like the wind.
Lu Wu's mood couldn't be better.
After all, although he had previously been confident about his future due to the cheat's power, that confidence could be considered blind, without truly seeing hope. It wasn't until today that he finally saw the light.
Following this method, he only needed a little over a month to achieve a quality upgrade for the mini skeleton.
In 6 to 9 days, he will see the results of this version!
Although the quality upgrade from [Ordinary (Inferior)] to [Ordinary] is theoretically just barely catching up to Plumpie's pig, Lu Wu is confident. With such a promising start, he is determined to cultivate the mini skeleton.
Upgrading the mini skeleton's quality to [Black Iron], [Bronze], or even [Silver] and [Gold]...
Of course, [Silver] and [Gold] are far-fetched goals, and Lu Wu isn't thinking about them at this point.
He wonders if he can upgrade the mini skeleton's quality to [Black Iron] and its strength to 2 or 3 stars before the league.
Lu Wu believes that reaching this standard will almost guarantee his admission to Summoner University.
The High School League starts in the second semester of senior year, and with more than half a year to go, Lu Wu, with his powerful cheat, thinks achieving this goal should be manageable.
Of course, this is before reality hits him hard.
Soon, the cold reality slaps Lu Wu in the face again.
Lu Wu realizes that although his 2.0 version plan seems perfect, there's one crucial aspect it doesn't address: where to get the funds for the materials?
He calculates that for the mini skeleton's evolution, he needs 50,000 grams of cow bone powder and 100,000 grams of cow blood. Water isn't even included in this calculation.
Lu Wu finds out that in this world, cow bones are priced at 35 yuan per pound, and cow blood is 15 yuan per pound.
50 pounds of cow bone powder plus 100 pounds of cow blood amounts to 3250 yuan, and with other equipment, the cheapest he can get the mini skeleton to evolve is around 4000 yuan.
Although 4000 yuan for a quality upgrade of a Summon Beast is already incredibly cheap, the problem is Lu Wu doesn't have that kind of money! The private savings left by his predecessor amount to just over a thousand yuan, leaving him 3000 yuan short.
Of course, he could ask his family for this money, but he can't bring himself to do it.
Due to his transmigration, although he has inherited the memories of his predecessor, there remains a thin veil between him and his family, preventing him from asking for this favor.
This dilemma leaves Lu Wu in a bind.
However, this isn't the most headache-inducing problem for Lu Wu...
