Chapter 161: Research Report on the Bone Knight
Chapter 161: Research Report on the Bone Knight
Little Skeleton played the BGM with advertisements three times in a row on the arena stage.
The judge couldn't take it anymore and had to forcefully stop the music, leaving Little Skeleton still wanting more.
As soon as the music stopped, Little Skeleton rushed to check on its mount.
"Are your injuries healed? Can I ride you now?" it asked.
"Are there any broken bones? We need to replace them with new ones if there are!" Little Skeleton was concerned, knowing that skeletons could easily fix broken bones.
Piggie, on the other hand, with its tender and fragrant skin, looked delicious no matter what. But its blood was exceptionally thick, and despite bleeding from five orifices, it just seemed a little scary and in pain. All it needed was a good meal.
When Little Skeleton came down, Piggie had almost fully recovered and was happily munching on a watermelon while keeping an eye on Little Skeleton.
As soon as Little Skeleton approached, both their eyes lit up, and they turned to look at Li Wu.
Little Skeleton asked, "Can I ride Piggie now?"
Piggie responded, "Can I drink Little Skeleton's soup?"
Seeing the two of them simultaneously changing their states, Li Wu smiled and said, "Sure, I can make both of your wishes come true."
Li Wu was overjoyed at this moment.
With this victory in the playoff, Li Wu not only advanced to the top four in Group A and the league quarterfinals but also gained 50,000 credits and information on Little Skeleton's second evolution.
On top of that, Little Skeleton's advertisement during the match would bring in a significant income, at least a few thousand credits.
With such a huge reward, Li Wu couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
He fulfilled the wishes of both little creatures without hesitation.
However, as soon as Li Wu agreed, both Little Skeleton and Piggie became unhappy.
Piggie wanted to drink the skeleton soup, but it didn't want to be ridden by Little Skeleton.
Little Skeleton, on the other hand, wanted to ride Piggie but didn't want it to drink the soup.
This dilemma left both of them conflicted and confused! Their minds raced, trying to figure out how they could enjoy each other without being ridden or drunk.
Amidst their dilemma, Li Wu's phone buzzed with an incoming message and a call.
Li Wu answered Zhao Kaiming's call first, and Zhao's voice, filled with surprise and excitement, came through.
"Little Li, I watched the match. Congratulations on defeating Team 001 and winning the playoff!
You did an excellent job! Also, if you're free later, come by the Professional Center. Old Zhang wants to see you about something!"
Zhao paused, took a few steps away, and then whispered to Li Wu, "He's probably going to offer you better treatment. Don't be shy; negotiate a higher price.
He values you highly and is afraid you might leave.
He was ready to pay the 50,000 credits if you lost.
So, take advantage and ask for more. Don't be polite!"
Li Wu couldn't help but feel embarrassed about asking for a raise. He shook his head in disbelief.
After a brief chat with Zhao, Li Wu ended the call and checked the message that had just come in.
It was from Jiang Bei Feng, containing a document and a message: "Here's the document. As for the remaining 50,000 credits, I'll apply for them when I get back and try to get them to you within a week!"
"Great! He's a man of his word, which saves me a lot of trouble." Li Wu praised Jiang Bei Feng.
Jiang's prompt response to the bet after the match improved Li Wu's impression of him.
It wasn't just about the money; it was about trust! Li Wu appreciated Jiang's integrity.
Then, Li Wu opened the document and started reading.
The first thing that caught his eye was the title:
Research Report on the Bone Knight
"Bone Knight?" Li Wu's eyebrows furrowed. "This is clearly a warrior-type second evolution, which has nothing to do with Little Skeleton, who has already taken the path of a mage.
Does Little Skeleton have to change jobs again, ride a pig, and fight with a bone staff?"
Little Skeleton, who was nearby and had been thinking about riding Piggie without being drunk, heard this and its eyes lit up with excitement. It eagerly leaned in, indicating that it was also capable of such a transformation.
"No! You can't!"
Li Wu pushed away the little skeleton's skull and, while reading the research report, took Tudou and the others to meet up with Zhang Wentao.
After his transmigration, Li Wu spent most of the past six months reading.
His reading speed had improved significantly, and scanning through ten lines at a glance was now a basic skill.
He quickly skimmed through the 【Research Report on Bone Knights】.
The content was consistent with the title, focusing on the study of Bone Knights.
The report contained valuable information about the Necromancer Bone Lineage, and Li Wu found it quite informative.
After reading it, Li Wu finally understood why this was related to the little skeleton's second evolution.
The report concluded that the Bone Knight was likely not evolved from a single summoned beast.
This was because the Bone Knight could be divided into two parts: the knight and the mount.
It could be considered a fusion evolution of two different summoned beasts.
The upper part of the knight shared many similarities with the little skeleton, leading the report to suggest that this part was likely evolved from the little skeleton.
In the 1619 edition of the book, this was clearly stated!
The report proposed a hypothesis: the knight was the little skeleton's second evolutionary form.
The little skeleton would first undergo an evolution, then merge with a mount, resulting in the creation of the Bone Knight.
In addition to this hypothesis, the report also outlined various evolution plans based on this idea.
As Li Wu read through these plans, his eyes couldn't help but rotate with excitement.
"These plans aren't completely unrealistic, so why don't I give it a try?" Li Wu felt that this was indeed feasible.
Of course, he wasn't planning to change the little skeleton's job.
The little skeleton was already doing well as a magic-type, and there was no need for it to change jobs.
However, the pigs under the little skeleton's command could be experimented with.
Those three pigs hadn't evolved yet, and Li Wu thought it was worth trying to create three wild boar knights.
"Why don't we focus on this for the next week? A week is too short to significantly improve the little skeleton's strength, but if we can turn these three pigs into three wild boar knights, it will greatly enhance the little skeleton's power.
During the finals, it will also give 002 an even bigger surprise!"
When Li Wu mentioned 002, his voice deepened, and his eyes narrowed.
Of course, the broad-minded Li Wu wasn't holding a grudge against them. He just felt that, as a Jiangnan native, he should help Jiangnan crush 002's team.
...
On the other side, Zhang Wentao was excitedly leading Zhao Kaiming to the Professional Center.
It turned out that a little stimulation could have a significant impact on a person.
After stimulating Zhang Wentao with 50,000 credits, he now walked with a spring in his step, feeling no soreness in his waist or legs. He even felt like dancing as he walked, making him feel decades younger.
Along the way, Zhang Wentao enthusiastically discussed with Zhao Kaiming how to reward Li Wu.
"Let's discuss the additional benefits for Li Wu separately. He defeated the 001 team today, so I should give him an extra reward.
I remember he ate a Divine Essence Fruit, but he still doesn't have a second summoned beast. I'll find a way to get him one. I can get a Silver-grade summoned beast, and with some effort and a little face-saving, even a Gold-grade one isn't impossible!"
"Hmm, let's try to get a Gold-grade one if possible. Li Wu's talent is exceptional, but he comes from an ordinary family. If I don't help him, it might take a long time for him to obtain a Gold-grade summoned beast."
Zhao Kaiming couldn't help but twitch his mouth at these words.
Silver? Gold? Don't joke around. That person had already arranged a summoned beast for Li Wu, and its quality was at least above Gold-grade.
Why would he care about your broken Gold-grade beast? Of course, Zhao Kaiming didn't say anything. He let the old man do as he pleased. If Li Wu didn't want it, he could give it to his teammates.
