Chapter 144: The Little Skeleton's Dream of Riding a Pig
Chapter 144: The Little Skeleton's Dream of Riding a Pig
Although Lu Wu felt that Zhao Kai Ming's words were a bit far-fetched, he couldn't help but feel intrigued.
He had suddenly gained a Summon Beast out of nowhere, so how could he just leave it be?
After some research, Lu Wu realized he had no idea where to even begin searching for his Summon Beast. He didn't even know where he had contracted it, let alone where to start looking.
Moreover, he was in the middle of the tournament, with three matches a day, leaving him no time to spare.
Feeling helpless, Lu Wu decided to put the matter of his second Summon Beast aside for now.
"Forget it, I'll just leave it be. Maybe Zhao Uncle is right, and it will come to me on its own eventually."
Lu Wu then eagerly opened his personal page on the Inner Network, and a wave of happiness washed over him.
...
Account: I Want to be Sea King
Account Points: 1511
Cultivation Plans Uploaded: Three Series
Skill Training Plans Uploaded: 88
Total Revenue from Divisions: 943
Total Consumption Points: 6234
...
1000 reward points and 511 points of revenue from divisions, all of which came from advertisements.
Lu Wu had placed these ads himself, and if the Jiangnan University's channel was added, his revenue would likely surge again.
Lu Wu estimated, "Without considering Jiangnan University's channel, this wave could bring in at least 3000 points, right?"
A sense of happiness immediately filled him.
Especially when he saw the backend data, in just a short while, 1511 points became 1511, and within a minute, his points increased by ten, filling Lu Wu with immense satisfaction.
Of course, Lu Wu didn't completely immerse himself in this feeling of happiness.
After reviewing the backend data for a while, he closed the backend and started pondering.
"The revenue from advertisements is significant, but it's not sustainable.
Most of the remaining seed teams in Group A are ordinary teams, so intense battles are unlikely, and viewer engagement will gradually decline.
Even if I don't take down the ads, the potential revenue from the remaining viewers is limited. The preliminary round's advertising effect will inevitably decrease."
"To further increase revenue, I must reach the finals!"
Of course, for Lu Wu, reaching the finals wasn't difficult; the real challenge was winning.
"If I can't win, even with the increased attention in the finals compared to the preliminaries, my revenue won't grow much.
After all, only a minority will appreciate the excellence of a losing team. So, to maximize profits, I must perform brilliantly in the finals.
If possible, victory is a must!"
However, Lu Wu didn't have much confidence in winning the High School League.
He had seen the Summon Beasts of his main competitors for the top spot.
Aside from Group B, whether it was the outsider Team 007, the local Team 001, or the underdog Team 008, Lu Wu didn't feel confident facing any of them.
The reason he surrendered on the first day was that he genuinely had no chance of winning!
But Lu Wu didn't plan to give up just yet.
First, he still wanted to give it his all, and if he could secure first place, the advertisement revenue would be substantial.
Additionally, if he won, Jiangnan University might not hold back on rewarding him!
Just thinking about this, Lu Wu's eyes lit up with ambition, and he declared, "I'll do it! I want that first place! Anyone who stands in my way will be eliminated."
Of course, having ambition is one thing, but having the ability to fulfill that ambition is another.
"With our team's current strength, winning first place is impossible, but we still have time, right? Even the preliminary round alone lasts half a month, and there's a break between the preliminaries and the finals, so we have almost a month."
"Within this month, I must do everything I can to improve our team's strength!"
With this determination, Lu Wu began planning how to enhance his team's capabilities within a month.
"Doudou's situation is the easiest to handle. I'll ask Zhao Uncle for help in finding the right kind of apple for her, or at least something she can eat."
It was just a matter of paying for in-game advantages.
Lu Wu immediately called Zhao Kai Ming, who had just left, to explain Doudou's situation and ask for his assistance in finding suitable food for her.
Zhao Kai Ming agreed to help Li Wu find the information, so Doudou just had to wait for the news.
The next challenge for Li Wu and Lin Jian Ying was a bit tricky.
Lin Jian Ying's research on Goblins was almost as extensive as Li Wu's knowledge of Mini Skeletons. He had invested a lot of effort and resources into studying them.
Regarding the Goblin's strength enhancement, Li Wu already had an idea, but hesitated due to the high cost. Now, with the prospect of at least 10,000 in-game credits from advertisement revenue, Li Wu felt he could afford it.
The most troublesome was the Mini Skeleton.
Among the three Summon Beasts in Li Wu's team, the Mini Skeleton was undoubtedly the strongest. It was not only powerful but also well-rounded, with almost no apparent weaknesses.
Both its long-range and close-quarters combat tactics were formidable, and it had hidden tricks in both areas. Even in a direct fight with ordinary Summon Beasts from other teams, the Mini Skeleton had a good chance of winning.
However, because it was already well-balanced and had reached a certain level of strength, it was challenging for Li Wu to significantly enhance the Mini Skeleton's power in a short time.
After careful consideration, Li Wu realized that the Mini Skeleton's Companion Equipment was the most promising aspect for a short-term boost in strength.
"Alright, let's focus on preparing the Goblin's and Mini Skeleton's Companion Equipment. We'll aim to have these projects up and running before the preliminary round ends."
In the 16th book of the 9th volume, the first chapter, and the 1st look, there was no mistake about it!
Li Wu was a man of action, determined to get things done immediately.
He had just received the materials for researching the Mini Skeleton's Companion Equipment, so he got to work right away.
To better and faster equip the Mini Skeleton with its Companion, Li Wu spent over 300 Inner Network Credits - A Tale of Power and Passion
Li Wu temporarily put aside the White Bone Boar plan and immersed himself in studying Companion Equipment. He spent 300+ Inner Network Credits to purchase extensive literature and plans related to Companion Equipment research.
Additionally, Li Wu placed another order for resources related to Goblins, costing nearly 1,000 Inner Network Credits. Once the resources arrived, he could proceed with the Goblin's enhancement.
While Li Wu worked tirelessly to improve his team's strength by researching the Mini Skeleton's Companion Equipment, his Mini Skeleton had its own agenda.
The courtyard had been undergoing renovations, and in the southeast corner, a modular building of around a hundred square feet had been constructed. This facility, purchased from the Fucheng Vocational Center, was designed to house and confine Summon Beasts.
Three White Bone Boars that Li Wu had recently acquired were now confined within this structure.
As the boars were being secured, the Mini Skeleton watched from outside, and its interest in the boars grew.
The Mini Skeleton was intrigued by these boars not only because they were made of bones like itself but also because they resembled Tuan Tuan.
However, its primary motivation was a grand dream—it wanted to ride these boars.
Ever since the Mini Skeleton had ridden Tuan Tuan, it had developed a craving for pig-riding.
But Tuan Tuan was uncooperative and refused to transform for the Mini Skeleton, no matter how it tried to pin Tuan Tuan down or pull its ears.
With Tuan Tuan's refusal and the arrival of the new boars, the Mini Skeleton's attention shifted to the White Bone Boars.
Unfortunately, the boars were confined, and the Mini Skeleton couldn't get inside. They remained within their enclosure.
Each time the Mini Skeleton visited, it could only observe the boars from outside, taking photos and videos, unable to interact further.
After another unsuccessful attempt at riding the pigs, the Mini Skeleton reluctantly took some pictures and left, feeling disappointed and dejected.
When would the Mini Skeleton be able to ride a pig again?
