Chapter 120: Skeleton Mage
Chapter 120: Skeleton Mage
Quancheng, Great Graveyard Realm.
The evolution of the Mini Skeleton and Li Wu's advancement occurred simultaneously.
The process went smoothly, as expected.
After all, Li Wu had prepared everything necessary, and with a big shot like Li Kai overseeing the process, how could it not go well? In about three hours, both the evolution and advancement were successfully completed.
Li Wu opened his eyes, and the world before him appeared clearer than ever.
This should have been a refreshing experience, but unfortunately, he was in the Great Graveyard.
As a result, this clarity became a matter of life and death.
The putrid smell, rot, and ghastly sights of the graveyard were all magnified to the maximum.
Li Wu, already somewhat of a neat freak, couldn't bear it. His face paled instantly, and his throat felt itchy, almost causing him to vomit.
Li Kai, standing nearby, grew anxious.
"Little Lu Teacher, what's wrong? Do you feel unwell?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Li Wu covered his mouth, and it took a while for him to calm down.
As soon as Li Wu recovered, he noticed something unexpected.
He realized he could see the attributes of the Stormy Grizzly, although not all of them, and despite the lingering questions, he did see them without touching the bear.
Had the golden finger leveled up?
This brought Li Wu some joy.
Currently, it seemed that only the ability to view attributes without touching had improved, and there appeared to be a distance limit of five meters. Nonetheless, this was still a pleasant surprise for Li Wu.
At the very least, it was much more convenient than the previous requirement of physically touching to see attributes, and he no longer had to 'pet birds' to find out.
As Li Wu rejoiced, Li Kai, standing beside him, also became excited.
"The Mini Skeleton's evolution is also complete! Little Lu Teacher, you did it! You've successfully evolved the Mini Skeleton into a mage!"
Li Wu was taken aback but immediately looked up at the Mini Skeleton, and a smile crept onto his face.
At this moment, the Mini Skeleton had completed its evolution, and its appearance had changed slightly.
The height of its skeleton hadn't increased much, remaining at around 1.6 meters.
However, it now wore a pale-colored long robe, and the baseball bat in its hand had transformed into a bone staff nearly as tall as the skeleton itself.
The Mini Skeleton was curiously examining its new bone staff and the unexpected robe on its body.
"Well, I must say, with this mage robe and bone staff, it does look the part."
Li Wu smiled and summoned the Mini Skeleton over.
As soon as Li Wu opened his mouth, the Mini Skeleton turned its head, displaying a look that said, 'The Mini Skeleton is unhappy and doesn't want to deal with Li Wu.'
Li Wu knew exactly how to handle his own skeleton.
"Are you coming over or not? If you don't, don't expect me to get you a new phone!"
The Mini Skeleton had no choice but to approach reluctantly.
What could it do? It didn't have any money.
And why did phones always break so easily?
Was there no phone in this world that didn't malfunction?
As the Mini Skeleton drew near, its attributes appeared before Li Wu.

...
When Li Wu saw the Mini Skeleton's new attributes, he was pleasantly surprised.
This little guy not only successfully evolved but also improved his strength, directly reaching the 1-star Elite level.
He gained two talents at once, along with one advanced skill that he hadn't mastered yet.
Once the Mini Skeleton grasps those two advanced spells, his combat power will immediately skyrocket.
Although the Mini Skeleton's quality dropped directly from Bronze to Normal due to over-exploitation of potential, it's still worth it, leaving Lu Wu very satisfied.
If it weren't for the fact that the little guy is too dirty right now, Lu Wu might have already hugged him and started gnawing.
In comparison, the properties of the Mini Skeleton's two companion equipment pieces somewhat disappointed Lu Wu.
After reading their attributes, he could only think of two words: "That's it?"
In the 16th book of the 9th volume, it's clearly stated in the error-free version!
"It's such a waste of my expectations. I could accept the Mage Robe, but I didn't expect the Bone Staff to be like this too."
"When I saw the Electric Bat turn into a Bone Staff, I was particularly excited and thought the Mini Skeleton would have a powerful cheat equipment. But it turns out to be just a decorative item."
Of course, Lu Wu said this, but he still had some expectations for the Bone Staff.
After all, the quality of this item is not low; it even reached Bronze, and it seems that killing Summon Beasts can make it grow.
When Lu Wu saw the last line, he hesitated. Although he was a bit tired of the Great Graveyard's environment, he eventually chose to bring the Mini Skeleton to grind monsters.
He had no choice; he was genuinely curious about what the Bone Staff would become after grinding.
With Lu Wu's current situation, grinding monsters wasn't that difficult, especially since he still had Li Kai with him.
They directly found a Corpse Grave nearby. Li Kai's Stormy Grizzly unleashed its Rank 3 Leader's might, stunning the Rotting Corpses. Then, the Mini Skeleton opened fire, easily harvesting a large wave of Summon Beasts.
Leveling up with a newbie is this easy! In just half a day, Lu Wu and his team cleared out four Corpse Graves, and the number of Rotting Corpses felled under the Mini Skeleton's firepower exceeded a hundred.
After this slaughter, the attributes of the Mini Skeleton's Bone Staff also changed.
【Energy Reserve Complete!】
Yes, this was the only change! There didn't seem to be any other improvements, and Lu Wu's mental state collapsed on the spot!
"That's it? Nothing else?"
He spent half a day defeating over a hundred Rotting Corpses, only to get this message in return.
Isn't this a rip-off? If he had known it would be like this, he might as well have gone home directly.
"Forget it, never mind. Let's go home! I'll figure this out slowly when I get back!"
Lu Wu was truly exhausted.
He had been in this broken place for almost ten days.
During these ten days, he had a hard time, eating and sleeping rough.
The worst part was still the environment of the Great Graveyard.
Lu Wu felt that if he stayed here any longer, he would be pickled by the putrid smell.
Back at the Sanctuary Camp.
Lu Wu immediately took the Mini Skeleton to the camp's bathhouse for a shower.
This was the longest bath Lu Wu had ever taken in his life.
It took more than an hour, using two bottles of shampoo and shower gel, and Lu Wu felt like he was about to dissolve. Only then did he stop.
After the bath, leaving the Sanctuary and on their way back, Lu Wu immediately called Lu Hai Kong.
He had been in the Sanctuary for ten days, eating coarse food for ten days, and now that he was finally going home, he wanted a decent meal.
Learning from his previous lesson, he wanted to call home early to prepare.
But when he called, he found that the number was unreachable.
Lu Wu tried several times, but it still didn't connect.
"What's going on here? Did Ni Ni break the phone?"
Lu Wu muttered as he dialed Li Ru Yu's number, but it was also unreachable.
This made Lu Wu very confused, and he became worried. He quickly called Dudu.
Yes, Dudu picked up the phone right away.
"Lu Wu!"
Hearing Dudu's delighted voice, Lu Wu's tense heart calmed down a little.
"Dudu, where are my parents? What are they doing? Why isn't anyone answering my calls?"
Hearing Lu Wu's question, Dudu's mood sank a little: "Uncle and Auntie went on a honeymoon!"
"What's that?" Lu Wu was a bit surprised. Why would this old couple go on a honeymoon?
"Where did they go? When did they leave? When will they be back? And why didn't they tell me?"
After Lu Wu's barrage of questions received responses like 'I don't know' and 'Uncle didn't say,' his head started buzzing.
Lu Wu couldn't help but suspect that he might have been abandoned.
