Chapter 15: Summer Vacation Plans
Chapter 15: Summer Vacation Plans
Little Skeleton would probably take three to four hours to process everything.
There was no way Lu Wu could just sit and wait during that time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Wu felt it necessary to plan his summer vacation!
To be honest, after learning about the elite class and the high school league from his senior, Lu Wu was feeling immense pressure.
It was only then that Lu Wu realized his previous confidence had been blind, largely built upon ignorance.
The more he understood the high school league and the summon beasts, the more pressure he felt.
Given his current situation, even without considering financial issues, he could, within a month, complete the "Little Skeleton's Training Manual 2.0" and upgrade Little Skeleton's quality to Ordinary, or possibly even stronger.
When it came to class division at the start of the new semester, the difficulty of getting into the elite class would also be significant.
After all, even if Little Skeleton reached the Ordinary quality, it would only be catching up to others' starting line, and they wouldn't be waiting for him there.
According to his senior, whose summon beast was a Jungle Wolf, her summon beast was already of Ordinary quality when it was summoned.
On the third day after its summoning, it activated the Bite skill.
During the subsequent summer vacation, the senior attended a training class.
After two months of training, by the start of her senior year, her Jungle Wolf had become a one-star summon beast, and it had also mastered the Wind Blade and Bite skills.
Even with her level of skill, she was considered ordinary in the elite class! This meant that Lu Wu had to, within two months, upgrade Little Skeleton's quality to Ordinary, cultivate its strength to one-star, and ensure it mastered two skills.
Even then, it might not be insufficient! Because, from what he heard from his senior and her friends, students with summon beasts like Little Skeleton, which had less potential, would face stricter evaluations when applying for the elite class.
Little Skeleton needed to perform even more impressively!
Just thinking about this made Lu Wu's head hurt.
"Meow, how feverish must my brain have been just now, to think of helping that girl out in a situation as difficult as this?
With my current circumstances, how could I possibly help her?"
At that moment, Lu Wu felt an urge to just give up on Plumpie and let the girl choose another form of repayment.
"Forget it, don't think about that. I should first list out my current difficulties and then find ways to solve them!"
Whether it was his conscience speaking or the thought that Plumpie was not an option for him at the moment, he temporarily suppressed this idea.
Lu Wu then started counting on his fingers the problems he needed to tackle.
First, he had to improve Little Skeleton's quality.
Train Little Skeleton to ensure its strength reached at least one-star and mastered at least two skills.
At the same time, he also needed to come up with a training plan for Plumpie to help her pig summon beast improve its strength and learn skills.
As he analyzed these issues, Lu Wu realized that the root of all these problems was money!
If he had money, he could upgrade Little Skeleton's quality and enroll both himself and Plumpie in a training class, thus solving the skill issue.
But the problem was, he didn't have any money!
This was quite an awkward situation, leaving Lu Wu with a headache.
"Looks like no matter the world, making money is an inevitable task that one must face!"
Lu Wu started brainstorming, pondering how to earn money: "Other transmigrators seemed to have made their first fortune by becoming copywriters. Should I try that too?
Copy songs, copy novels, and the like?"
(End)
This job seemed easy and paid well. With the money, I could splurge on in-game items and create a whole new world for myself!"
Lu Wu felt more convinced as he thought about it.
Suddenly energized, he realized the challenge when he actually tried to copywrite. Although he had a photographic memory after his rebirth, he didn't have this ability before. He could hum a few tunes from the songs he listened to and recall some plots from the novels he read, but when it came to creating something, he felt utterly powerless.
After all, he couldn't compose music, and his writing skills were lacking.
This realization hit Lu Wu hard, making him feel particularly dejected.
Coincidentally, as Lu Wu was pondering this dilemma, his phone rang.
He picked it up and saw it was Li Chun calling.
Lu Wu was a bit puzzled. It was the holidays, so why was Teacher Li contacting him?
"Hello, Teacher, good evening!"
"A part-time job? Hmm, four thousand a month? ... Alright, I understand. I'll be there first thing tomorrow morning."
"It's me who should be thanking you!"
A few minutes later, Lu Wu hung up the phone, his expression revealing some confusion.
He never expected Teacher Li to call about a job, offering him work at his uncle's newly opened store due to a staff shortage.
Initially, Lu Wu was hesitant. Although he wasn't surnamed Zhou and did have such aspirations, he wasn't fully prepared.
But when he heard the salary of four thousand a month, with working hours from 8 AM to 6 PM, Lu Wu suddenly felt this job was a perfect fit. Without hesitation, he agreed.
After all, if he couldn't make a billion, eight thousand was still a good start!
"It seems I can't escape the fate of part-time work, but that's okay. At least I've secured the materials for Little Skeleton's evolution!"
With his job situation settled, Lu Wu began contemplating skills.
He had two options in mind.
One was to wait for the senior from the elite class to send him the textbook, which he recalled had a few basic skill training programs, but with an extremely low success rate. However, it didn't matter; he had his cheat.
The other option was to pursue a close relationship with Plumpie.
By treating Little Skeleton better, he hoped to awaken a skill through increased affinity.
As an adult, Lu Wu couldn't choose; he wanted it all. But this presented another problem.
"If that's the case, should I consider sleeping with this guy?"
The thought made Lu Wu feel very uncomfortable, especially since it would be his first time.
"I can't sleep holding it, and its silly appearance won't help either. Even if we eat and sleep together, it probably won't increase affinity. It won't feel anything."
Affinity cultivation required touching the other party's heart or sharing common interests.
Plumpie and her pig had a deep understanding of eating and sleeping, so it was natural for their affinity to rise. If I want to increase my affinity with Little Skeleton, I need to find something that moves it, something it's interested in."
Indeed, Lu Wu was determined to protect his first time!
