Chapter 116: The Egg
Chapter 116: The Egg
The night grew late, and as the world quieted down, it was time for Li Wu to secretly pen his diary.
In Li Wu's room, his family's mini skeleton, wearing headphones and holding a smartphone, leaned against Li Wu's bed, engrossed in an anime. Meanwhile, Li Wu lay sprawled across his desk, writing in his diary.
"December 29th.
In the blink of an eye, I've been back home for ten days already.
These ten days have been a blur of busyness, leaving me no time to write in my diary until now.
A lot has happened in these ten days.
First, the verdict from the Professional Center regarding Hao Zhijian's case came through.
They were ordered to compensate me and Uncle Li for defamation and other miscellaneous expenses, totaling over 8 million yuan.
They delivered the money the very same day!
Well, I'm not one to be swayed by money, and I don't even know the exact amount, 8,113,521 yuan, but my old man, the family patriarch, managed to swindle it away, claiming he'd save it for my future marriage.
Of course, I didn't let him get away with it. After receiving the money, I immediately told my mom, saying I'd given my dad 8.2 million yuan.
Then, my mom, with a mischievous smile, gently escorted the old man to his room.
Hmm, the next time I saw the old man, he was limping, and I have no idea what he went through.
There's also the matter of Li Nanny.
These ten days have been busy, but I still managed to visit her a few times.
However, each time I went, she seemed to have aged significantly. Also, according to my mom, Lin Jian Ying was planning to secretly sell his house to pay for Li Nanny's medical treatment.
I understood why she told me this; she's kind-hearted and wanted to help Lin Jian Ying.
I didn't stop her.
But a few days later, I heard that Lin Jian Ying had signed an IOU to my mom and even put up his house as collateral.
I felt a mix of emotions, a bit of discomfort.
But what can you do about the cycle of life and death? It's just a part of life.
Forget that, let's talk about something happier, like Dudu.
Hmm, why do I feel like talking about Dudu is a happy thing? It's clearly a source of frustration!
Sigh, it's been so long, and her bond skill still hasn't triggered.
Dudu has secretly cried several times, damn it! I really wish my grandpa would show up and tell me he wants to have a heart-to-heart with me. He's a big shot!
The apple from last time was from him, and he gave me a whole box of apples.
That way, Dudu wouldn't cry, and I could see her in her full glory... (Scratch that)
Anyway, I, Li Wu, am not attracted to Dudu, I swear!
Also, my grandpa isn't some hidden big shot.
So, Dudu's issue will eventually fall on my shoulders, but I'll have to wait until I've trained the mini skeleton.
Speaking of the mini skeleton, this little guy's middle school syndrome has gotten worse. I asked him to practice skills, but he secretly played music instead.
What's he up to? Does he want to be a skeleton with a built-in BGM?
Will I have to carry speakers for him during competitions?
However, when he secretly played the BGM, his skill training efficiency seemed to improve significantly. Oh well, I'll let him be. At most, I'll just strap a couple of speakers to him later.
As for the mini skeleton's evolution plan, I've almost finalized it.
Currently, I've upgraded the skeleton to version 2.0, and I already have an idea for version 3.0, which involves exploiting the mini skeleton's external cheat. If all goes well, I should be able to finish it in a few days.
But I don't plan to spend days secluded, working on this version 3.0. I intend to leave tomorrow, yes, to the Great Graveyard.
The mini skeleton's evolution requires a place rich in undead energy, and the Great Graveyard is perfect. I need to go early to choose a suitable spot.
This time, I won't be taking Dudu with me.
The hidden realm at the Great Graveyard is different from the previous one we visited, and it's a bit dangerous. Moreover, the environment at the Great Graveyard is eerie and frightening, and Dudu, being timid, shouldn't come along.
But I'm not that brave either, so I didn't plan to go alone. I arranged to go with Uncle Li, a professional-level expert, ensuring my safety.
Well, that's about it for today. I still need to prepare the things I'll need for tomorrow's trip to the Great Graveyard and get some sleep!"
After writing the last word, Li Wu closed his diary, tossed his pen aside, and stretched leisurely. He then got up to prepare the items for the next day's journey.
In truth, Li Wu had already prepared, and all he needed was a quick check.
After a few minutes of checking, Li Wu's gaze fell upon the Divine Essence Fruit.
"I've had this thing for almost a month now. I kept it in case I needed it to help Dudu lose weight, but she refuses to eat it. There's no point in keeping it, so I might as well eat it.
Who knows, maybe I'll see a Bone Horse or a Bone Dragon at the Great Graveyard, and I can contract one and bring it back. I might even be able to research and combine it with the mini skeleton to create a Skeleton Knight or something."
The last part was just Li Wu's random musing.
But he did take out the Divine Essence Fruit, examined it, and then popped it into his mouth, devouring it in one go.
However, Lu Wu was well aware that this wasn't because the fruit was fake or expired.
He had researched the fruit and knew that its medicinal properties were relatively mild. After consuming it, one's spiritual and soul power would gradually increase over the next few days.
"But this is way too slow! I don't feel anything at all. Forget it, time to sleep!"
Feeling a bit disappointed, Lu Wu went to bed.
But as soon as he lay down, Lu Wu immediately sensed that something was amiss.
Lu Wu usually engaged in intense mental activities throughout the day, so when it came time to sleep, he would fall asleep very quickly, often within three minutes of lying down.
However, this night was an exception. He tossed and turned for over half an hour but couldn't fall asleep.
It was clear that the Divine Essence Fruit had given Lu Wu a taste of insomnia.
In the 1619th chapter, a mistake was made!
This made Lu Wu even more frustrated.
Just when Lu Wu thought he would have to stay up all night, a sudden wave of drowsiness washed over him, and he fell asleep immediately.
It wasn't just Lu Wu who fell asleep; even the little skeleton, who was leaning against Lu Wu and usually never slept at night, had its head droop, and it dozed off.
After Lu Wu and the little skeleton were both asleep, a sneaky figure quietly climbed through Lu Wu's window.
In the moonlight, the intruder's identity was revealed—it was none other than Lu Wu's father, Lu Hai Kong.
"I have to sneak into my own son's room; I must be the worst father ever."
Lu Hai Kong rubbed his nose self-deprecatingly while surveying Lu Wu's room.
It had been a while since he last entered Lu Wu's room, and he was surprised to find it quite tidy, especially Lu Wu's desk, which was neatly stacked with notebooks. The only thing out of place on the desk was Lu Wu's diary.
Lu Hai Kong picked up Lu Wu's diary and flipped through it, but he was immediately confused.
"What is this? I can't understand a word of it!"
Well, of course, Lu Hai Kong couldn't understand it. Lu Wu knew that diaries could be dangerous, and if they fell into the wrong hands, they could lead to social death.
So, it's best not to keep a diary, and if you do, make sure it's unreadable.
Lu Wu didn't have many hobbies, but he enjoyed writing in his diary from time to time. He couldn't break this habit, so he had to find a way to make his diary incomprehensible.
Fortunately, the writing system in this world was quite different from his previous life, which gave him an idea.
He decided to write in his diary using the writing system from his previous life.
There was no way Lu Hai Kong could understand it.
Lu Hai Kong didn't think much of not understanding Lu Wu's diary and simply picked up another notebook.
Sure enough, he could read the words in this notebook, but when they were put together in sentences, he was completely lost.
"What is this? Am I illiterate? Is this the world of breeders?"
Lu Hai Kong was a bit perplexed, but he had no choice but to put the notebook down and stop this meaningless activity that was only causing him distress. He then walked over to Lu Wu's bed.
Looking at Lu Wu, who was lying on the bed, sound asleep and completely defenseless, Lu Hai Kong's expression became slightly complex.
"I don't know why, but I feel like I won't be able to stay with you for much longer.
I might get discovered, and if that happens, I probably won't even have a chance to say goodbye.
So, I decided to secretly give you something. After all, you're my only son, and I might need you to take care of me in my old age."
Lu Hai Kong took out the little skeleton's electric baseball bat and then pulled out an object from his pocket, which he inserted into the bat.
Next, he took out an egg and placed it in Lu Wu's embrace, but after some thought, he took the egg back.
"Is it too obvious to leave it here? I'll find a more discreet spot."
Lu Hai Kong's eyes scanned the room, and he eventually settled on Lu Wu's closet.
"I'll put it here," he said, turning around and pricking Lu Wu with a needle to draw a drop of blood, which he then dripped onto the egg.
He then placed the egg in an unassuming wooden box and put the box in the closet.
After completing these tasks, Lu Hai Kong left Lu Wu's room through the window, the same way he had entered.
From start to finish, Lu Wu was completely unaware that someone had sneaked into his room and carried out these clandestine activities.
